Friday Confessions
What's the scoop?
Re: Friday Confessions
I confess that I have another pet peeve to add to my list from yesterday. I can't stand people on the nest who respond to posts that have a lot of responses (think, 20+) saying, "I haven't read the other responses but here's what I think....." How special do you think you are that you're so sure that someone else hasn't said exactly what you're writing? How do you even know the discussion is still the same as the original post? That's like annoying co-workers who walk by when you're having a conversation with someone and they jump in, thinking they know what you're talking about it. *grumble*
I also confess that a bunch of hair fell out in the shower this morning, and I'm kind of freaked about it.
I confess that none of the bosses are in the office today. Yay for slacking off!
I confess I am tired of DH traveling for work. He does bathroom remodeling and instead of his company hiring someone to do all the work in this other state, they make him travel there 1 week a month and do all the work. They are also giving him so little mileage that is BARELY covers his gas! He really looks up to the two owners and I think they are idiots and have poor business sence. I am irritated.
I also confess that my DH is depressed and I don't know how to handle it. He is obsessed with trying to figure out how/when we can get pg (had a m/c in Feb). He is focusing all of his energy on that. I confess I think I might be done trying to get pg. I can't handle another loss (7 m/c in my life, this one I had to do a d&c, it was the worst experience of my life).
I also confess I HATE my new work hours. Normally I work 7-3, now I work 6-3:30. I have to get up at 4am to get myself ready and my kids (DH is out of town so that makes it harder too). I feel like a walking zombie and I have been drinking ALOT of coffee and my teeth show it unfortunately.
I also confess I have been following my diet very strictly and have managed to lose ZERO pounds in 2 weeks. I am frustrated and I hate my body right now.
Ok thats it for now!
I confess that I got reprimanded for my grouchy attitude at work yesterday. I honestly think I deserved it, though, and am feeling a lot better about things today. I confess that I needed a little of his perspective to pull me out of my funk.

I confess that I had about 5 handfuls of cheese on my salad for lunch....after I threw out all of the Easter candy so I wouldn't be tempted.
I confess that I have been so busy and stressed with school/work that I have only wanted to eat dinner and sleep when I get home...which means the things that DH wants to do..I have no mood for...if you know what I mean
I confess that I have zero motivation to be at work right now...and I've completely checked out of my job mentally. I start my new library position on May 3rd...and I'm just trying to get through the next few weeks!
Related to the new library gig (which is in my same gov. branch and same overseeing office so luckily I qualify for maternity leave!!), I don't know when to tell my new boss that I'm expecting...he is a good guy that really respects and cares about me as a person, so I know he'll be happy, I just feel bad that he worked to help me get this position and work toward my career goals and now I'll only be around for 5-6 months and be gone for 3!
I confess that I can't wait to get to NYC next weekend!
I confess that I am SO bloated I look like I'm showing...or just fat. My mom is convinced it is baby...but I can promise that it is not. Either way...I don't want the world knowing yet, so it is not good!

MY BLOG!
So, my SIL is getting married in September, but they are having a legal ceremony this weekend because her fiance is on a visa that would run out before the September date. And they are turning this weekend's thing into a HUGE honking deal. I mean, I get that sometimes due to logistics you need to do the legal ceremony and the "big" ceremony separately, but only one needs to be a big to-do! They are having a friend who was ordained online to marry another couple perform the ceremony in a public garden, that's fine, but then they're having a fancy dinner at some restaurant thats like an hour and a half away! Mind you, we live 20 minutes from DC. There are a TON of nice restaurants MUCH closer to us.
I love them, and I'm happy for them, but I am not feeling it this weekend.
I confess that I finally got a call back on one of the thousands of resumes I have sent out and I turned down the interview. I am still waiting to hear back from my internship on if they are actually going to hire me or not. I confess that I am nervous about not taking this interview, I feel kind of irresponsible because I know we need the money...its just that if I took another job and then got offered one at my internship (dream job) I would be so disappointed bc I am not the type of person to take a job with the intention of quitting right after. Hopefully I made the right choice.
I also confess that I just spilled a TON of red crystal light down my white shirt...AWESOME
Just realized that tomorrow is our 6 month mark since our wedding and I'm in St.L while MH is in Raleigh. Suck. I really, really, really miss him. Plus I will be in the car for 5 hours on my way to Iowa with my parents and my sister for my nieces First Communion on Sunday. While I'm beyond excited to see my nieces and nephews I do not want to share a hotel room with my sister.
My sister is green with envy and can't appreciate anything she has. She has been married for 5 years now and keeps a tally on my parents; meaning she will note and remember every time they go and visit any of my siblings, who gets what for Christmas, and so on. So, when she on the war path she brings up how unfair her life is.
Last night when we were out she asked if MH and I were TTC. I was not prepared for the question, so I told her we were charting. I'm kicking myself because I should have said that it wasn't any of her business.
Finally, I completed my first charting cycle! Even though we were successfull at our TTA plan, I was kind of bummed that AF showed her face....especially since I was a week late. I'm excited for a family, but I know it will be better if we wait.
