Flame Free Friday Confessions
They do this on the baby board and I thought it would be fun here... Let's hear 'em ladies! No holding back... and NO flaming no matter what!
Re: Flame Free Friday Confessions
I have not cleaned our upstairs bathroom in MONTHS...and it reeeealllly needs it! Gross.
Sometimes, I look forward to Caleb's naps simply so that I can Nest.
I have a friend whose baby looks like a monkey to me. (It's no one on here. I promise!)
There are days when I don't make the beds or clean up the kitchen until right before my husband gets home...shh!
if one more person asks me if I'm pregnant (I'm not), I'm going to lose it on somebody-- seriously. Being married and having the same stomach problems I've had my whole life doesn't magically translate to being pg!
I worry about my nest friendships more than my IRL ones at times. IRL friendships are just lower maintenence.
I refuse to scrub the toilet. If jason doesn't do it, it won't get done. period.
ME TOO!!!
I've only worked out once this week. I blame PMS!
LOL Monica!
Many times during the day, I don't answer my phone. Sometimes I just don't feel like talking, even if it's someone I enjoy talking to and am happy to hear from.
Hmm... I am secretly glad that we don't have a good place to give our beagles baths at home anymore. It always hurt my back to bathe them myself! Now we'll just take them somewhere.
I'll see if I can think of anything else!
Ditto...
I washed clothes last weekend and never folded them. They are all in a pile on my guest room bed.
The longer I work from home, the less motivated I get.
I've done my hair MAYBE twice in the past 2 weeks. I've been so lazy. My husband needs to hurry up and get here b/c I feel like I have no one to impress.
BUT
I spent WAAAAAAAY too much money on an awesome new straightener that should be here today or tomorrow, so I'm hoping that'll force me in to doing it more often.?
The only thing on my mind today is my rug. LOL I don't really think this belogns in this post, but whatev....HA!
I am seriously sitting here with knots in my stomach over the damn thing. I loved it, lusted for it for months, am pissed about how it just won't work out, and am now equally sick about eating all of the shipping costs! The whole thing has just been very frustrating and is all I can think about. I just want to go ahead and get it out of my house already!
ohhh... I have another confession to add.
I've made myself completely and utterly sick by eating way too much cheese & dairy than my pitiful little lactose intolerant tummy can handle. Now I'm suffering the consequences =(
comfort food = cheese
My best friends kids drive me crazy!!! I want to discipline them so bad. They are rude and obnoxious.
Only money keeps me at this job
I am so bored.
Sometimes I freak myself out thinking about a person growing inside me
can totally relate..... TOTALLY
I should be cleaning my house right now instead of nesting.
I love my husband and kids more than anything in the world, but I would love to check in to a nice hotel for 24 hours. I would stay in the bed and eat chocolate and watch lifetime the whole time.
I do the same thing! I rarely ever want to talk on the ohone actually. I'd MUCH rather email!
I missed the rug ordeal. What's wrong with it? I hate, hate, hate paying shipping...especially return shipping!
Ditto and Ditto!
I finally was able to buy a rug for my dining room...a rug that I have lusted over since maybe February sometime... anyway, I got it this week, and the pile on it is very similar to berber carpeting...and Monkey LOVES to claw at the berber that is in our bedrooms in the house....so naturally, she wants to claw the rug. I have been "monitoring" her behavior around the rug for the past few days, and we put tin foil around the rug which I read is a way of keeping a pet from clawing or scratching at things because they don't like the sound of the foil....but Monkey found a way to get around the foil to sit and snag at the rug anyway! This morning I found several little loops have already been pulled up...and the rug was too expensive for me to just let her sit there and do that to it...it will be totally destroyed in a matter of days, and I can't keep her off of it.
There is no way....
So...it is going back....
Welcome to the world of pregnancy! LOL! No, really, it's great that you can get away with only wearing lipgloss... At the very least, I must do concealer, powder and mascara.
I have a baby shower to go to this weekend and all but maybe 5 items on the registry are more than I'm comfortable spending on someone I don't know well.
I think it is great that this couple can afford the best for their baby and I want to buy a gift, I'm just frustrated with money.
Update: I just checked a different store registry and found things in my price range. Thank you Jesus, that was stressing me out!
Oh no! That sucks! Totally sucks. I'm sorry. Bad Monkey!
I wish I had the money to eat out everyday ( and the inability to gain weight). I'm sick of eating smart ones, lean cuisines, and leftovers. The people that I eat lunch with everyday usually goes out and gets something, and it's food I love. It secretly makes me ill because they're sitting their enjoying good tasting food that's filling and I have to eat crappy food that always leaves me hungry.
I'm sick and tired of being indecisive about what to do for the rest of my life. I really want to be a radiology tech, but if I start next fall that means I won't be done by the time James graduates and gets his commission, after that if he goes active, then we'll be moving. I don't want to be stuck here finishing school with my husband living in another state. So I'm waiting until we get to wherever we're going to start, but I'm still afraid that the Army will move us while I'm still in school.
I've been having nightmares about being PG. I'm like really worried that I'm very fertile and will become that way despite BC. I'm interpreting that as I'm not ready to have children yet.
I have always heard if you have these kind of dreams and you aren't trying to get PG, that it could symbolize you are about to have a big change in your life...that could be anything. But it could also mean what you said.
I too hate to talk on the phone and I repeatedly will ignore my cell phone when it rings. If it wasn't for the fact that I might need it in an emergency I would totally get rid of it.
I love my husband, but we share a laptop right now at home and it drives me absolutely CRAZY that he won't let me surf, or nest in peace at night...he is always wanting to just randomly tell me stuff or point out stuff on tv! All I am asking for is 1 hour of an escape to let me unwind. I let him have his time when he gets in. Drives me batty! I am hoping we solve this problem with me a new laptop for Christmas.
oohhh... another flameless confession
really long sigs get on my nerves.
my coworker is getting on my nerves.
nft.
Sorry-- Once I got it up I was too lazy to change it.
Ok...lets see....everyone I work with is getting on my last nerve!
I can't stand that if we are going to eat dinner with DH's family...he thinks we have to be at there house in the am just to "hang out"! Seriously...the last time they said dinner would be ready in time for the 6pm football kickoff. He woke me up at 8am (on a Saturday) to ask me to start getting ready so we could leave. They only live an hour away...and what makes him think I want to just sit around all day and stare at his mean dad?? PISSES ME OFF!
AM....I also dislike incredibly long siggy pics!
nah, nbd. I'm a pretty active lurker and I've seen it all over the place... it wasn't pointed or directed at any one person in particular.
The ones that get me are the bump boards... esp botb... the ones that go something like
<insert snarky, witty comment here>
m/c 1 <month, day, year>
m/c 2 <month, day, year>
m/c 3, 4, 5 <month, day, year>
i/f #1<month, day, year>
#2<month, day, year>
#3<month, day, year>
clomid #1<month, day, year>
#2<month, day, year>
#3<month, day, year>
stick baby stick!
<insert fertility friend ovulation tracker here>
*ducks*
That gets on my nerves too...I don't mean to be mean but I really don't need to know your history on all that.
