Re: FFFC?

  • I am having a REALLY tough time not letting my personal opinions about a coworker's past actions get in the way of our working relationship. He is friends with a bunch of DH's friends. DH recently told me that 2 years ago, he would randomly booty call one of the girls. He wouldn't want to hang out with her in public but would have no problem calling her randomly at night to come over. I thought this was a bit odd. ( FYI- The guy doesn't know I know this) Well, today I kind of learned why. We were talking about how it's different when you live with someone vs. just date them. He told me that he has lived with his now FI for over 3.5 years. Do the math. That means that he was living with her when he would booty call this girl we know. My guess is maybe when his then gf was out with her friends?? Anyways, so now that I know that he's a bit of a scumbag, it makes it tough. We still work together fine but I don't think I want to do any random chit-chatting or anything during any down time.

  • I'm glad that I'm going out of town for NYE and Jay has to stay home to work. He majorly f*cked up our 2010 taxes and now we're both running around like crazies trying to get it fixed otherwise we lose all of that money.

    I nearly killed him this morning and I'm still so angry with him so I'm glad he's not coming so I can enjoy myself and have time to cool off. Then by the time I come home and we get to spend time together I won't be so angry.

    I take care of every other dang bill and finance related thing in our lives and he can't manage to get the stupid taxes done in a timely manner. Sometimes I worry that I am the only grown up in my marriage. Sad

  • I confess my work productivity has gone way down since I got my iphone. At least the paperwork aspect.

  • Last week I got a big award at work that came with a big check. I was responsible with most of the money and put it towards debt (except for the money I used for my new bag.)

    Well, last night in the mail we got a $400 check from my OBGYN reimbursing us for overpayment for my prenatal care. I don't want to be responsible with that. I want to blow it. ALL of it.

    I totally relate to this more than you know..

    Anyway, my confession is that I am sick with jealousy over moms that drop their baby weight pretty much as soon as the kid is out. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how if I only BF my child blah blah blah...

    I did BF for 6 six weeks until we realized he was allergic to my milk and tried everything to figure it out but we couldn't and we made the switch.

    As someone who has both EBF and FF I say we need to drop the judgement on both BFing and FFing Moms. Being a mom is hard why judge someone and make her life even harder?!

  • I had a co-worker tell me their expecting today and I won't lie, I almost cried at my desk when she left. Not because I'm not happy for her (because I truely am) but I've been having a dream every night that something happens and I can't get pregnant. Sill I know, but they happen so often I'm starting to believe them :/

    I'm really nervous about catching up with exBFF, I would like her back in my life but I'm scared that we are going to be fine for awhile and then just have everything repeat. I don't know if I can go through that again.

    Wow those were both downers, I'll end on an up beat one: DHs 30th birthday isn't until June but I've already started planning it :)

  • Not so much a confession as a vent...

    I hate my job.  I do.  I consider getting into the restaurant industry the biggest mistake of my life.  I was told by my boss last night that the underlying reason why my hours were cut in half is b/c "people" have been complaining to him that I'm not pulling my weight.  He said he personally disagrees, but in maintaining a fair workplace, he cut me down. 

    I can't quit b/c we need whatever income I can pull in.  He won't fire me b/c apparently I'm not that bad.  So what the hell do I do??  I've been looking for another job, but the only thing I can do (according to employers) is cook, and I don't want to anymore.  

    I just needed to vent.  Thanks for listening.  DrinksDrinksBeerBeer

    That sucks. The restaurant industry is tough. I worked in it many years, and Dh is in it now. It is tough work for usually crappy pay and benefits, and nothing ever seems good enough. Hope you get to change fields soon.

  • I'm terrified of failing at TTC- seeing the babies this trip has made Kirk REALLY want one an I'm starting to agree. My law school best friend's baby napped on me for 2.5 hours and I could have just cuddled all day.  

    Also, this trip has been the reverse of how I normally feel about holidays- my in laws have been relaxed and accommodating and my family is making me crazy! Ugh. I just want to scream. My family has has been so annoying I could go a full year without seeing them and we are goin home tomorrow, 2 days early because it is all just too much.

    Yes

     

    Anyway, I am really starting to hate my job, and it's no one else's fault but my own.  Here I thought getting a job not only for my sister, but my mother as well, would save us all from the pain and heartache of having to listen to them b!tch about how miserable they were... nope, I was wrong.  Now they're just ganging up and b!tching about me, and *I'M* the one who's being unprofessional because I continue to tell them that it's neither the time nor the place for their bullsh*t (not in so many words, but you get the idea).  Now I just can't wait to get out of there at the end of the day, and it just makes me not want to spend any more time with them outside of work because they're aggravating me that much.  *sigh*

    Unfortunately, yes. I got a ton of "you won't last a week" and "that will never work" comments.
