Flame free Friday confessions
Hi ladies...they do this on the babies 0-6 month board and I thought it would be fun! So here goes...
I am secretly happy I don't have to go to my in laws this summer! They live 7 hours up in Northern Maine....and their house in small, they have no fans, no air conditioning!!! And, in this heat I need A/C!!
I am also so tired of the "I am so sad/upset I cannot exclusively breast feed by child" posts. Your DC is 6 months now. Move on...and have fun/teach your DC instead of feeling bad about something you can't change! My milk never came in and I am OK with it..worse things can happen!
Who's next?????
Re: Flame free Friday confessions
Fun! I"ll play!!
I am secretly hoping that my FIL does not come to the beach with us for a week the end of August. I just want time away with just DH and Brianna. Is that too much to ask for!!??? Sometimes I just cannot deal with him...
I wish DH was more supportive of my thoughts and concerns. I feel like he just blows me off all the time...
I have a million things I should be doing to get ready for our trip while Owen is napping, but I just sit here nesting instead.
I hate when people complain about somthing but don't do anything about it!
Secretly:
- I like BFing because I can escape certain people when the come over (sometimes the ILs)
- I dislike BFing.
If it were not for the cost of formula, I probably would have FF. I love being that close to Austin, but I really hate BFing. I want my body back.
- I have an addiction to T.T. Buds Sweet and Cheesy popcorn.
- I really don't like cats at all, but like animals and have to put up with Kitty and I secretly wish that, even though he is a good cat, he would pass away so we could stop spending over $200/month on his special cat food, insulin and needles, so I could spend the money on things we really need/have to pay off...or maybe I could even buy new clothes since nothing fits me comfortably.
- I hate the fact that we have to hold onto my MILs old pots and pans that I never use. I just don't like them at all and have my own set, but Tom insists on holding onto them, since she passed away. I understand why he wants to hold onto them, but I hate having them around collecting dust.
Oh...just thought of other one since I just did it
I am decluttering and throwing things out, giving things away and putting them in trash bags. I sometimes leave them at the top of the stairs for my husband to take out. HA! I tell him I got busy with Jack...
I'm not looking forward to my ILs visitng this weekend for Caroline's birthday. I'm glad they are coming out for her sake (though shocked), but not happy for me that I will be dealing with them!
They are due to arrive any moment now.....ugh!
I don't want to see my parents tomorrow. My mother annoys the ever-living crap out of me and has gotten almost unbearable since the babies were born
I can't wait to go back to work and have 8 hours where I don't have to listen for someone screaming. Then I feel guilty for wanting to be away from my babies
I have never once felt an ounce of guilt for not breastfeeding
i nicked owens thumb when cutting his nails today, poor kid!
1. I am SO happy to have the next 13 months off because I DO NOT want to go back to work. Ever.
2. I am not having a hard time w/ my child or my life in any way and I feel like I shouldn't admit that because it makes me sound like a bittch or something.
3. I can't stand my mother a lot of the time. I hate the way she disregards my needs. I feel totally insignificant when it comes to her. I can't stand the way she acts over several different things.
4. As much as I keep my house neat and orderly and I clean it as much as I can, I still feel like it's messy and dirty.
i hate that i feel like i cant post here what i want to anymore because i dont want info relayed. if youre not here, then dont lurk. obvi im not allowed to see what you type, dont look at what i type.
i hate that my job to my hubby is fru fru, i have a lot of work to do today for a wedding tomorrow and i was just informed last night that 'i have to sleep so im dropping off the kids at 3 to you." wtf! im working until 1! then i have to do a wedding! i cant do wedding flowers with the kids running around! man up and watch the kids!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you, Kim, on the first thing. ?Annoys the crap out of me that lots of people still read what we write, but no longer wish to post here. ?Hey, maybe we should start our own website...?
?
I haaaaate how loud DH has the tv on when he watches. ?He doesn't have a hearing problem or anything, just likes it to be loud. ? So annoying.
I hate the people who live in our building think the rules don't apply to them (mainly the no cat or dog rule) and have pets. ?It's not even the rulebreaking so much as it is the not cleaning up after their pets!!! ?I would love to take Ben out to play on the lawn, but...
?

I think it's pretty funny that some still lurk but don't post - it just makes me feel super popular that they even care to lurk at what I am saying and the on-goings of my life
And I have some confessions of my own ...
1. Obviously I love, love, love my daughter. I miss her when I'm away from her!! And I always can't wait to get back home to see her. But it's SO NICE to get out of the house twice a week for yoga. Sometimes I leave a little earlier than I need to and sometimes I dilly-dally on the way home.
2. I don't always go and get her when she wakes up from sleeping or a nap. If she is laying quietly, playing or sucking on her hand, I just let her be. I feel a little guilty about that.
3. I think I'm ugly.
4. I love the inside of my house - I am a little embarrassed by the outside.
1) I hate that things get so bent out of shape around here, like I talk about how thankful I am that I am healing and that another woman didn't get that opportunity and it's cause for someone to say let's not scare other people blah blah blah, I don't recall ONE person saying that I scared them from having children now...and that certainly wasn't my intent, I saw something that gave me a reality check whether she died from exactly the same thing I did or not, it made me reevaluate my attitude as of late(which had been lacking) She got a blood clot likely from sitting in bed, I got a cyst on my tailbone, I think I LUCKED out! While it all is rare I don't go giving the gorey details, most know what happened and for those that don't I don't get into it. It is was it is and it was what happened to me and I just needed support at that time, b/c I had a really REALLY hard time that night. And hearing that in fact maybe my "poor" health could be the reason I experienced what I did, pissed me off majorly. I know the person was only trying to put it into perspective, but at the same time since you knew what happened you coulda lent a positive comment too! I do appreciate you saying that you were not trying to minimize it, but really you were! I gather you worked in the facility where both Zion and his Mother were treated, so that's where you get your info, fine...but it's not as cut and dry as you say! I also am in the medical field and am well aware of certain risk factors, I didn't have GD, no HB, no nothing, I had a very uneventful pregnancy and I DID NOT cause this to happen to me, my water was broken too long, I got an infection, it spread to my tissues when they pulled Jack out...yes I am overweight, but please don't make me feel worse than I already do! I was actually told that due to my excellent health I am healing at a substantial rate, even if it seems to be taking a long time to me! I realize I am a rare case and I am thankful, end of story!
2) I am annoyed that my friend who was supposed to come visit us, has turned her whole trip into a vacation and is now, no longer staying with us and is "fitting" us in to her busy site seeing schedule! Fine don't come, we've had other people here all week, I am not going to beg you to visit. But none-the-less she is etching out a quick visit tonight, so they don't have to move their car from the parking garage at their DC hotel to visit us. She wanted me to take Jack to DC for dinner (alone since Rob has to work) and apparently it was easier for me to battle traffic and parking with an infant than for her and her DH! Whatever!
3) While I am sooooo thankful to be home with Jack, I think I really want to pick up a few hours at PotteryBarn Kids to get out of the house, but it will cut into time with Rob(weekends only b/c Rob works too late for me to do weeknights) But I just want him to see how "not-so-easy" it is to care for a baby. I say it that way b/c I don't think it's hard, just not as simple as he seems to think!
