Re: Tuesday Confessions
Ooo..can I make that my confession too? I can't think of anything, but seem to have that problem anyways. I can't help it. They are so good and probably the best pictures we will ever have taken of us.
seriously though i know its sounds retarted but i have no idea whats wrong with me, but i am due for my visitor next week, so i'm blaming that, lol
My confession is that we haven't printed any of our wedding photos yet. Our photographer sold us the rights to our images, so we have the high res files, and there are literally hundreds of beautiful pictures. I have tried to go through them a number of times but I get literally overwhelmed and have to walk away from it.
There are none on facebook except for the two or three that the photog has posted. My mom has stooped to actually BEGGING for one.
I just can't deal with it. I really wanted to get our families photobooks for Christmas, and it is just not going to happen. We have a million picture frames that we got as wedding presents that are sitting empty on our mantle.
What is wrong with me?
Um, I still haven't picked the photos for our wedding album or done anything with regard to that even though I managed to make each set of parents their Parent Albums.
Yeah, so as of right now we still don't have a wedding album even though our wedding pics are all over FB. Maybe that should be one of my 2011 goals...ha.
I have my scrapbook about half way done, I really need to finish it. My mom and grandma have been begging me for pictures for months. Little do they know that they are getting them for Christmas.
Apparently giving wedding photos to family for Christmas is a popular idea. I ran into some friends of mine a week or so ago (they got married a month after us) and that's what they're doing to.
I guess this is the advantage to having a "morning" wedding and tiny wedding party; we only got a couple of hundred pictures, total. It didn't take too long to sort through.
Hmm... My confession... I really don't want to go to the employee Christmas mass or luncheon today. I usually go to the mass, even though I'm United Methodist. It's still praising God, and it also gets you a couple of brownie points with the administration. I'm going, but I don't want to. I don't want to go to the lunch, either. I want to stay here and drink my coffee and save the calories and be a grinch.
My Confession: I am getting more and more annoyed with HH on a daily basis. He says that he found jobs that he can apply to, but I don't think he has actually applied yet. I can't bug him about it because his mom already is and I do not want to be like her.
I took a job that I am completely overqualified for because he was in school, and now that he graduated I am disliking my job more and more. Plus he needs to get a job so that we can get a house and I can get pregnant.
You should definitely sit down and have a talk with him, just try not to sound mom-ish. I never said anything to Brandon when he was "looking for a job" and he ended up being unemployed for OVER A YEAR. He later made a big deal that well I never TOLD him to hurry up and get a job!!! Well that's cuz I didn't want to NAG HIM. But apparently he saw it differently.
My Confession: I made more hump plans. Oh snap
I just now put wedding pictures in all of our frames and made albums last week. I was tired of staring at the strangers everywhere in our house, and DH started naming them and making up stories based on the people in the frame.
my confession: Overall, I eat very healthy. But...my entire day of eating is determined when I wake up by how flat I think my stomach looks. If it looks board flat, I'm eating a bagel, dammit. If I feel like it looks slightly puffy (i.e. from PMS or whatever), I will be eating celery and lettuce and chugging water for the next 24 hours. My stomach appearance also determines my mood for the day.
Today was a bagel day, in case you were wondering. It's going to be a good day. lol
bio
I have 3...
First, I am taking my daughter to her 2nd outpatient session with a counselor for her addiction to drugs. I am so hopeful but still so worried that if things don't change I am going to bury my 1st born child. The thought of this scares the piss out of me.
Second, I really wish they would fire me or put me in a different department. I don't think it will happen but I am tired of having the bosses that I have. They don't talk to each other and both give me directives that they have already given someone else or vice versa so it gets done 2 times which is just pointless and get mad over things that are just total high school issues.
third, I deleted all work related contacts from my facebook account because no one here is my friend and I really don't want them to know what I am doing or what they are doing!!
good for you hayley,
chrisnjay sorry you are so frustrated about the tree. I just started and all through the shopping on saturday I had bouts of tearing up for no good reason UGH!!!
I do this to sometimes
I would probably be just as upset. To me it is more about the way it keeps getting put off/denied than about the tree. Fight the power!

T&P's for your daughter and your family. What a scary thing to have to go through as a parent. ((Hugs))
I am sorry to hear your daughter is struggling but I'm glad she is getting help that she needs. My BIL has been addicted to drugs and alcohol for years (he is barely 21) and attempted suicide in 2007. Because of that he was forced into counseling/rehab center and got much better. He still has ups and downs but he is always better if he is talking to a professional.
I think the hardest thing for all of us to deal with was that no matter how many times we told him that we loved him, etc...if he didnt want to listen - he wouldn't. Please feel free to email me if you ever want to talk. It's hard to understand what having a loved one with a substance abuse problem is unless you have one as well.
Thats a very scary thing! I hope everything works out pam, I'll be praying!
Thank you ladies for you support! I do appreciate it. We are taking one day at a time and keeping her very busy and saying lots of prayers.
Funny thing my sister sent me a text saying raising teenager is like nailing jello to a tree oh if you only knew!!!
It definitely doesn't get ignored, I mention something about it every couple of days. I don't on the days he talks to his mom because that is all she really talks about. I was planning on giving him a few weeks, especially because of what time of year it is. He graduated last week (actually last class was last week, graduation is this weekend) so I figured I'll probably let the holidays pass since companies aren't doing much right now, and I'll be on top of him after the new year.
Thankfully he is working a part time job while figuring this all out. They have it working 30 hours a week at Radio Shack, so he isn't sitting on his ass.
Ditto this! I haven't printed or framed anything. I keep saying I need to get on it but I am so not motivated.
Thinking of you and your family Pam.
I'm really having trouble getting into Christmas this year. =( Normally I know exactly what I want to get everyone and I'm so ready to get all the decor up.
I'm still not finished with decorations, I just started shopping on Sunday and have more to do. I still don't really know what I'm getting Kevin. My Christmas cards are piling up on the entry way table because I haven't made it to Hobby Lobby to get the things that I need to make my "cardholder".
Maybe it's because we're really limiting spending this year and so it makes it harder for me to decide. That and no one in my family is really even asking for much this year (including me).
I dunno. But it's bothering me.
Pam, my prayers are with you guys. You're a super strong lady and I know that you will make it through this time and everything will be a little brighter on the other side.
