*~*Confessions*~*
I see these on other boards and they are fun to read. Wanna try?
Here are mine.
1. I really don't like Martha Stewart at all. I don't like her show, either.
2. I know that I shouldn't feel badly about things in the past w/ my mother. Yet, I do. And it eats at me sometimes.
3. I can't believe that I'm a mommy.
4. I think all the time about how to be the best mother I can possibly be to my daughter without being unctuous or losing myself.
5. I don't feel like going to ma's group today. Alyssa is napping right now ... maybe she will sleep through it?
Re: *~*Confessions*~*
1. I feel guilty about not going to church since Austin was born and I miss it, but I feel the importance of his naps outweighs him going to church with me.
2. I wish I had a dinning room table.
3. I hate the fact that the majority of my ILs smoke and don't like Austin being around it one bit. My FILs GF made a comment about a pocket on Austin's outfit over the weekend and she said: "Oh that is where he can put his cigarettes!" I know I should lighten up about "jokes" - but it pissed me off beyond belief. This is one reason why I am hosting Christmas this year for my ILs - so they can all sit out on our deck and freeze their a$$es off smoking vs. me being worried about being at one of their places and having Austin exposed to second hand smoke, when they stand by the window to smoke, like they did when I was pregnant.
4. I don't like one of my SILs very much. I felt that she complained too much at my parents 40th anniversary dinner and kind of ruined it for me. It made me sad for my parents and my brother.
5. I don't like the fact that Tom's family feels the need to have the TV on when visiting - it is a distraction from having to interact with each other and I would much rather focus on conversation...
1. I hate my job, but don't have any idea how to make a career out of doing what I really love and am talented at. I feel stuck.
2. I'm completely lazy & a total slob at home. I never feel like doing housework, EVER, and most of the time I don't. After I work all day, I don't want to work at home with cooking, and cleaning. Evenings and weekends, to me, are meant for relaxing - and I need to realize we don't have a maid. I AM the maid. DH does so much more around the house than I do, and he works more.
3. I've gained 10 lbs, it's starting to be noticable with the way my clothes fit, and when I look at my "skinny" wedding pictures. I'm terrified of gaining back all the weight I lost, yet do little to turn the scale back around.
4. My DH says he's ready to TTC, yet I wonder if he's saying he's ready just to "humor me". For some reason I just have this thought that most guys don't really want and have a desire for children, it's the women who do and the men go along with it... I have NO reason to think that way, but I can't help it and I know that's awful of me. I'm trying to change that, and trying to believe my DH truly wants a baby like he says he does.
5. I am truly pissed at mother nature for robbing me of a beautiful, sunny and warm summer. And I'm still mad at her for giving me a crappy snow-filled, freezing winter AND cold & rainy spring, too. She better make it up to me this fall...
(holy CRAP, was that a brutally honest confessions post or WHAT?)
1. I like the rain
2. I'm annoyed to no end w/ my FIL
3. I wish I had the guts to stand up to my family when they piss me off.
4. I hate that my mother puts make up on my daughter. She is just playing around, but I don't like it and neither does DH.
5. I wish I had more patience.
6. I love being Brianna's mom!
7. I have a really bad case of baby fever! = )
1. Sometimes I feel that if my father and sister weren't my family, I probably wouldn't like them. They are terribly close-minded and cynical and it really gets to me, especially lately. And I feel bad about feeling this way.
2. I think Jon and Kate Plus 8 sucks.
3. I called in sick to work yesterday when I really was just tired and wanted to stay home because DH was at home.
1. I love Martha Stewart and strive to be more like her. I also understand why she is such a b!tch and don't blame her for it.
2. I can't stand the Ellen show. Her dancing irritates the hell out of me, I hope she falls some day. But I love her comedy. Weird.
3. I am sad that this summer was so hectic with the house and I never got to relax.
4. I only have 2 weeks left of my vacation and I'm a little sad that I have to go back to work now that we have the house and there is so much to do. But then again, I can't wait to see my coworkers and the kids again.
5. I know I need to lose weight, but I don't do much to make it happen. I also don't ever want to be as skinny as I used to be again.
6. I can't stand when people use the word "ain't" and say good when they should be saying well.
1. I hate the Olympics. They bore the heck out of me. I dont understand why the world puts on a contest to see who is the strongest, or the best at this, that or the other thing. Isnt there enough to worry about in this world.
2. Most of my family really stinks. My Inlaws treat me a whole lot better then my own "family" does. The only ones I really like from my family are my brother and AJ and my niece.
3. I hate my husbands job 95% of the time. He is always on call and I feel that his work is ALWAYS going to come first. I know it aggrivates him too, but he does it for me and the boys. It got better for a few weeks, but having to dance around the "pager" really aggrivates me.
4. Even though I am able to get up and do things in the house right now, I have been slacking off. Yes, I am pregnant and should take it easy, but I feel as though i am milking it for more then I should be.
5. I dont know who my real friends are and it really bugs me. Most people i know are very Twofaced. The only reason i know this is because they talk crap about their "friends" and then the next day they are out with them. Makes me wonder what is being said about me when I am not around! Grrr
1. I hate that im upset that my best friend is moving over 6 hours away on monday. I know she is doing what is best for her family but i hate that i wont be able to go over whenever and to see her son grow up.
2. ever since my wedding (2 years ago) i have no desire to be in anyone elses wedding or to even go to them
3. I hate that sometimes i feel like DH and I are "behind" our friends in terms of house buying or having children. The crazy part is I dont think i even want kids but I am jealous sometimes of my friends who have them.
4. I am now officially depressed after confessing those things, lol
1. I really do want kids but I am terrified to be pregnant. I am afraid something will go wrong or I will feel miserably sick. The closer we get to when I orignally wanted to start trying, the more freaked out I get. And I am also not sure I want to give up my time with DH- even though it has been just the two of us for 5 years now.
2. I love junk food and wish I had more will power. I would be much thinner if I could stop at one cookie.
3. I am thrilled about my new job but scared I am going to be totally clueless and the kids will run all over me. I am overwhelmed at how very different it is from my last school.
1. I really don't find having twins to be terribly difficult and I feel bad when I get the "oh, it must be so hard" sympathy from people, so I just smile and nod.
2. I don't care if I lose the last 20 lbs from my pregnancy - it would be nice and there are some pants I'd like to wear again but I'd rather eat a cookie than worry about that
3. I didn't think Tyler was cute when he was born. He's gotten way cuter since his face has filed out some, but I still think Lily is cuter than him
Oooo I thought of the other one I was trying to think of earlier.
I have no urge to have kids any time in the near future. By near future, I mean years. And DH is perfectly good with this. I feel way too selfish right now to have kids. And I much rather spoil my niece and friend's babies for now.
1. I am ok with leaving my baby with my parents or in-laws for DH & I to get a night out together.
2. I'm not sure if we'll "try" for other children.
3. I am relatively content with my post-pg weight and rather just buy clothes for my new hips than not eat yummy snacks.
4. I'm sad that one of my best friends is moving to CA even though I know it's a fantastic move for her.
5. I am thrilled that DH is going to take over bathtime with DD- I feel like he's much better at it than I am.
Mine (mostly stolen from PP)
1. I want more kids, specifically twins. (DH thinks I'm nuts)
2. I'm mad at myself for using disposable diapers.
3. I haven't worked out since October.
ehh, I'm pretty boring
1. I eat my M&M's by color and number. When I shake out a small handful I eat the smallest number of each color first.
2. I hate that Mason doesn't nap well at MIL's. He has been asleep since we got home (3 hours now). While we are on my MIL, I wish she would stop smoking. Mason's clothes always reek when he comes home from her house.
3. I feel like a bad mom when I can't pump enough milk to keep up with Mason.
4. I sometimes wish I lived closer to my family in Iowa.
5. I love my hubby and I think he is an AWESOME dad!
6. I am scared to death of getting PG again right now.
hmmmmm is 6 enough?............nope one more
7. I don't always do tummy time with Mason, and he can't lift his head as high as some babies which makes me feel like a bad mommy.
1. I really don't like my inlaws. They live 10 minutes away and only make the effort to visit Samantha (their only grandchild) about once every 6 weeks, and when they do, its only for an hour. They are some of th emost boring, self-absorbed people I have ever met. His brother is a turbo geek with no social skills whatsoever and I actually feel uncomfortable when he is around my daughter.
2. I hate living in CT, especially since my family all lives in NH and I am especially close with them.
3. I really don't like our house. It's fine and all, but I feel like I settled because I was just sick of touring houses and going through the home buying process with DH.
4. I really want to pregnant again soon. Tons of baby fever!
5. I want to quit my current position and either switch careers to work in early childhood ed or as a travel agent. You know, a job that I might actually enjoy.
6. Sometimes I just look at my husband and my daughter and feel like the luckiest woman in the world to be so loved.
Umm maybe im not feeling well right now, but what 6 are you talking about? I dont think you have 6 kids, so i am thinking you've taken 6 tests? Tell me to shut up if you want too... LoL
Nevermind... Im a sick cloudy headed meathead!!! You probably ment 6 confessions, haha!
Yes that is what I meant....sorry!
