FFFC?
1. I am currently annoyed by some beebees on Facebook. Over the course of the last year and half, they've gotten together as BF/GF, gotten engaged, broken it off completely, gotten together again as BF/GF, and gotten engaged again. Their wedding is next month. They are the type to post allllllll their sh.i.t on Facebook, complete with the daily "I love you baby!!!1!1!!"s and their "I'm so hopeful for the future... everything will be okay as long as we're together, angel!!!"s
bleck
2. So, that picture of The Artist that I put up at work? Yeaaaaah, I've been staring at it for the past two days. He's hot! :::swoon:::
3. I read posts from moms on other boards about the sh.i.tty things they have to go through with/for their kids, and my reaction confirms that I am still just selfish enough to be like, "naaahh, no thanks!"
Re: FFFC?
When I read posts like that about moms doing all this crap with their kids, I think, "You chose to have a child! Embrace it!" Those posts bug the crap out of me. I'm a single mom, I work 40+ hours a week, I go to school for my MBA and I still do all the same stuff for my kid with minimal complaining about it. I kind of feel like people who complain about how hard being a mom is on a regular basis, are doing it for attention or to prove their worth.
I guess that would count as my FFFC
I almost punched a girl in the face on NYE when she was talking about her and her XBF. They lived together so it was "just like they were married". Seriously, just because you live together doesn't mean you were "almost married" and it pisses the fluck out of me when people say crap like that. That was more of a rant than a FFFC.
I might be a sex addict, except I don't get much sex. Guess that makes me a hornball with dwindling supply of batteries.
I like working out to country music because it's slower and I don't have to work out as hard.
I know I am an oddball on this one, I think dogs are more work than children. Especially those hyper types. But I love having a child and can't understand moms that complains. They are only little for so long and they grow up way too fast. I enjoy watching and teaching them and I know I will have time for myself later.
Yeah, I am way too selfish to have a kid, at least right now. I think it is a good thing to recognize. I know a girl who is pregnant and excited to have "met her goal of having a baby before 25" yet she still goes out all the time to smoky bars, is 6months pregnant and brags about how she has only gained 6 pounds and hopes to not gain much more, and she has no job or education. I would respect her more if she hadn't been so worried about meeting some arbitrary goal (which I personally side-eye, 25 seems so young to me) and was more worried about actually being ready to have a child. She shouldn't care about gaining weight when she is growing a life. She should worry about being able to provide for her child and get a job rather than live off her boyfriend of 6months. Ugh, so selfish!
So, I guess my flameful is that I side eye people who plan to have children for no reason other than they want to have kids young.
I was off all last week, and was in my nice quiet condo by myself most of the week. This week I am so annoyed with being around people and phones ringing off the hook, that I can't wait to go home tonight to my nice quiet condo:) I am totally going to end up alone...I know this:(
I work at a college and classes start the 18th, and students are calling asking if it's too late to go ahead and apply to start classes on the 18th, yet when I ask them what they want to major in, they have no idea! I may get the side eye on this, but we are setting them up for failure by letting them start when they are clearly unprepared.
My exboyfriend that I finally broke up with in May after not seeing him since March (because I needed time to figure things out) is seeing someone and I am a little jealous. I don't want him back, I am just jealous that he has already moved on...and I would just like to get a date:)
That should be it!
I love being a mom. Although it does have it's hard times, he makes me happy even when my day was awful. I almost cried this morning as to how big he is getting and more independent. At only 3 yrs old he managed to brush his teeth by himself meaning, turning the water on, placing tooth paste only on the brush, brushing his teeth and rinsing on his own.
My FFC..... Yes I am breaking it off with Z but not until after tues when I meet with my counselor. I pretty much stopped talking to him but not by completely ignoring him just only answering his texts without sending ones of my own. After Wed night I have yet to hear back from him nor am I upset. I will be so relieved when this is all overwith. I would break it off completely but would rather have some advice from my counselor as to how to do it. Everytime I say I'm unhappy he starts picking himself apart which makes me even more of a chickensh!t to just drop the bomb.
I was slightly ticked at my sister when I told her last night that my dad couldn't loan me the money I need to hire a divorce attorney and she said "Well, let me know if you need anything." Yes, I need $3500!!! I know she and BIL have the money.
I also am ticked at myself for feeling ticked at her for that.
Although I know financially I am fuhcked and emotionally I am not ready at all, but I want to have a baby somotherfuckingbad. My bio clock has been screaming at me for the past two years and since it didn't work out with STBXH, I'm so thinking I'm never going to have children. BF and I talked about it, and we want to, but we both know it's not the time.
I want to quit my job and move out of state so bad. I hate working here, I'm bored out of my mind, and I keep visiting with BF's family and friends out of state and I love them so much I think moving there would be a nice option. It's crazy.
Puhlease don't listen to your ovaries. Please.
You and me both.
That is awesome. and so appropriate.
I hate when people find out I am divorced and they say things like, "Well when I get married I only want to get married once. There is no divorcing for me." and shizz like that. It sounds so ignorant. So what I went through wasn't real? Azzholes.
I broke up with my boyfriend on NY day. I am excited that I have a date tonight with a ridiculously tall man - he's 6'10". I am wearing 3 inch sandals b/c it is so nice out. And he's taking me somewhere nice and I'm not going to have to pay half the check!
I would seriously punch someone who said that to me.
I want to scream when I tell people XH and I split up and they something like, "Maybe you'll patch things up" or "That's so sad! You guys were such a great couple!" We split up for a reason, and thank you for being so unsupportive of our decision.
This is why I avoid breaking the news to people. I don't like having to convince them that it was a good idea.
