Friday Confessions

Last night I had my first pregnancy incontinence issue Indifferent

DH made me laugh and we were standing in the kitchen and then I was like "OMG I just peed a little bit", which caused me to laugh even harder and I had to waddle my butt to the bathroom then get him to go grab me a new pair of underwear and pants.  Looks like I need to step up the kegels!

Re: Friday Confessions

  • I am having a hard time working today.  I have the nest, bump and facebook pulled up on my computer.  When someone walks by I pull something work related up so it looks like I'm working.  I am also training someone on and off all day, for my job when I go on maternity leave, so I bet she really thinks she's going to be head deep in work when she takes over!

  • I ordered some cloth diapers yesterday from a site going out of business, I don't have a baby and I'm not even pregnant yet.

  • I made cupcakes with a five year old yesterday. It was the highlight of his day. However, I really wanted to make them so I could eat them during naptime yesterday and today....
  • I have a few:

    - I have some work to do and I haven't done it and don't plan on doing it. I just don't care all that much right now. 

    - It is supposed to rain tomorrow for the wedding and I am not too upset about it. Also, not looking forward to it at all.

  • I found out about an hour ago that I don't have to work today after all. I know I should use the "extra" time on something productive (like getting a jump on my proposal or other classwork), but I really want to read a bit more and make cookies instead.
  • I let Parker eat 3 whole bananas Sunday because I was home with him by myself and he is a mess fighting a cold and getting molars.  My kid is going to turn into Monkey.

  • I totally pressured M into taking this new job. They're totally using him as a doormat and I really think think the new "leadership" is going to bring everyone down so I think it'll be better but the reason I really wanted him to switch was because the new group is more understanding with time off and doesn't force them into after-work events.

    I've been sort of feeling bad about the whole thing. Until yesterday.

    Instead of working, the whole team had a scavenger hunt and lunch in the city. They were supposed to be done by 2. Thursday they decided to do happy hour afterwards. He didn't get home until 7 pm last night. This after a softball game Tuesday night. And that was a light week - this is all driven by a higher up who hates going home to his wife and kids.

    It's such BS because they consider "participation" in these things when deciding who gets premoted. I'm sorry, but my husband's paycheck shouldn't be impacted by the fact that some jerk hates his marriage. I'm so glad today's his last day.

  • I watched 7 episodes of One Tree Hill yesterday on my day off. As if that's not sad enough I ran to Wal-Mart to pick up season 2 because OMG what Hayley and Nathan got married?! And surprise-now they don't have it! Wah wah wah.

    I ate a cupcake for breakfast this morning. Hah lies-I ate two! They were delicious!

    I'm back to loving my job again. I think it's because I stopped talking to a coworker.Zip it!

  • -I should be cleaning the house but I am bumping/nesting instead

    - I bought 3 new pieces of clothing for Brin even though he really doesn't need anything after the grandmothers both went on fall/winter clothing shopping sprees but hey I want to shop for my baby too! At least it was at a consignment store.

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one being bad and not working today. I'm ordering Christmas presents instead. And I'm super stoked about the one for my MIL. She's so going to cry.

    And then tonight is date night. We've already hit our "eating out" budget for the month and should stay home for dinner. But right now I don't care and can't bring myself to remind M that we shouldn't go out because he's really looking forward to it.

  • I'm that girl at work that tells the truth when the boss asks me about someone's performance or my observations of his/her work ethic. It's not going to make me friends, and isn't going to get any one in major trouble, but I won't lie to cover their inabilities and maybe they should have clued in when the president sends HIS ASSISTANT to sit and learn anything she can about their. Saying things like "oh, don't tell [the president] that" aren't gonna fly with me.

  • I have eaten far too much the past 24 hours, and if it weren't for that silly dress hanging in my closet, I wouldn't care at all.  I need to try it on this weekend to decide if I need to go find some Spanx somewhere (which, FTR, I was going to do anyway just to help hide any bumps under it, but it will probably be completely necessary after this binge I've been on).

  • I've been taking OOTD style pics and storing them on my computer so I can critique my outfits and get rid of clothes I never wear. I'm either a huge dork or that self absorbed -- or both.

    I so need to do this.  I read a post on the nest somewhere about a girl trying on all her clothes tonight, and I need to do that, too, so I can get rid of them.  But I'm afraid of doing that because I know that 3/4 of my wardrobe logistically needs to be thrown away.  I just don't have the means to replace it all.
