My confession is that last night when I got home from my Girls Night Out, I woke DH up for sex so that he will learn to equate GNO with wined up crazy sex.
My Christmas plans got so complicated yesterday and I am so pissed at MH about all of it. I found out last night that his dad is staying with us Sunday and Monday night. Christmas lunch has been changed to Christmas dinner with all of my SIL's family (which is honestly the only part of our plans that doesn't bother me, but it's 20 people I'm in no way related to), his mother is staying with us Thursday night, we have to drive 1.5 hours to spend Friday night at his aunt's house, and then drive another hour from there on Saturday for an extended family Christmas party. I really don't have any time to take off right now so that leaves Christmas morning and maybe some time Christmas eve with my family. That's it. I haven't been excited for Christmas since my ILs came into the picture.
We also bought a new dining room table and he said that's my Christmas gift. Thanks.
Basically everything he is doing right now is bothering me.
Have you purchased toilet paper recently? tell him that is his Christmas gift!
I confess I would rather spend Christmas break with my ILs than my family. The ILs are so much better at helping out with Emma than my own mother. MIL wakes up early and plays with Emma so I can sleep in. My mom has never played independently with Emma.
I feel totally comfortable leaving Em with MIL to run errands, watch a movie, etc. I do not feel the same with my mom.
This is kind of sad.
Not so sad. We get nervous leaving my mom with the girls. I feel like my MIL is more capable of keeping them in order and bathed, fed, etc. My mom is more the creative type. Kids need their stories and craft projects too but it can be a bit nerve-wracking when one is screaming and the other hasn't eaten by bedtime.
I don't like when people have just a picture of their baby (or kid or dog or favorite celebrity or whatever) as their avatar or profile picture.
Along these lines, I get irrationally annoyed when people have only pictures of their kids on their Christmas cards. You adults still matter too, people!
I'm irrationally annoyed about something that has nothing to do with me. A friend of mine had super cute Xmas pictures done of her infant. Very cute. Whatever. Anyway, I asked her about it and she told me, "A friend of mine is a photographer, she's super popular among wealthy people, and her sitting fees and packages cost thousands of dollars. As a baby shower gift to me, she offered to do Xmas pictures of LO for only $300. It was fantastic!"
This did not include the cost of the Xmas cards.
Call me judgy, but I felt that was super squicky and a weird gift from photographer friend.

I am all about positive reinforcement.
This is my favourite confession of the day.
This is the best thing ever. Filing that one away.

It's not a gift if you have to pay for it.
Exactly. If she had said, "Hey, you're a friend so I'll do it for $300," then great!
I have a problem with, "Your baby shower gift is that you can pay me $300 to take pictures of your baby."

Not the best confession, but I am feeling a little guilty. I am not going to a work Christmas party tonight. I should go because my coworker put a lot of time and money into planning it but I just really don't feel like going. I spent two hours a doctors office that is an hour drive from where I live, I'm feeling a little sick and there's supposed to be freezing rain. I told everyone I was sick.

I am not surprised by anything about the stupid Duck crap. Not surprised he said something like that, not surprised people have reacted the way they have. I'm so jaded by this kind of garbage anymore. I am disappointed by how much people in society seem to love those who preach hate and hate those who preach love, though. WTF is wrong with us?
Wow, I seem really pissed off. I'm not though. Just disenchanted with humanity right now.
I honestly don't care one whit about the Duck Dynasty person. What annoys me most is people who hide behind their religion and use it as an excuse to hate.
Sassy, did you hear about the pastor who was defrocked this month?
Yes, he's United Methodist, and it's very disheartening to say the least. Many of our UM pastor friends are, too.
I'm frustrated I can't figure out what to get DH this year. I always come up with the best presents that he hadn't even thought of but loves and I can't think of a damn thing this year. I mean, not that I'm competitive, but this may be the first year that I don't "win" Christmas because he appears to be really excited about what he got me.
Disclaimer: I do love everything DH gives me but I'm more creative and go off the list whereas he'd rather get me exactly what I want and go on list.
