Flamefree Friday - Any Confessions or Comments?
It's been pretty slow around here lately. Anyone have anything they'd like to get off their chest or confess?
Re: Flamefree Friday - Any Confessions or Comments?
Don't we all do this?? lol
I can't stand Farmville. My husband said he was only going to play a week and now he's "addicted." I really just think he's trying to beat his friends at it. The dork that he is, sits a calculates which crops get the biggest return for his money.
I've never done this. If I'm not in the mood, I'm not in the mood. LOL
Ditto. I have never used the headache excuse...but I will just say I am not in the mood.
Ditto only nick plays farm town which is essentially the same thing. It drives me nuts cause ill be talking to him about something and all of the sudden hes talking about how his pineapples need to be harvested LOL.
Yeah I tried "not in the mood" but he kept trying to persuade me I was actually in the mood. And I didn't want to deal with it which is why I used the headache excuse.
See my husband is the exact opposite! When I say I'm sick and having a bad day or whatever he comes back with "oh I know how to fix that" "or good thing the doctor's in the house".
Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I turn my husband on but sometimes he can't take a clue!
LOL, how can you keep a straight face when he's using those lines?
I just ask Mike if he's serious b/c if he is, fine. Then I'll flop over on my back and tell him "ok, go for it. I'm just going to take a nap since I'm so tired." That usually kills it.

I'm sitting at my desk STALKING the TicketMaster website because Mamma Mia tickets go on sale at 10 CST. I highly doubt I'll be able to get tickets (I see them being sold out within a few hours), but I'm desperately going to try anyway!
OMG, you HAVE to buy tickets. HAVE to. Even if you end up getting them off craigslist or ebay or something and paying a 200% markup. This is my favorite show EVAR. A million times better than the movie!

GL Paula.
My husband has been in a funk this week and I don't know what to do. I'm 99% certain it's because the holidays are coming up and we have to go through them without his dad and brother for the first time. That 1% uncertainty comes from the fact we went out Saturday night to a party at my sister's house and I can't remember part of the night (I'm pretty sure what I don't remember is from when I laid down and went to sleep since my sister doesn't remember me doing anything wrong and I've NEVER blacked out from drinking a few glasses of wine before) but I've spent all week trying to figure out if I upset him. This morning he was acting (mostly) normal again though.
this is terrible, but my kids and hubs have been sick this week. the kids were just as sick as the hubs and were over it in two days, you would think my husband was dying with all the whinning and complaining (he stayed home again today), I wish he would just suck it up. he takes it out on everyone and I generally can't stand being around him when he's sick, I have zero sympathy, that being said, now I'm getting, you better believe if I even mention I don't feel well he acts like I'm the biggest drama queen ever. It's going to be a long weekend.
oh and because he's sick, and before that his back hurt, and before that he had a cold sore, and before that my parents were visiting... I haven't gotten any in forever.
You know what's weird is everyone was telling me that So & So's kid had the swine and they were better in 2 days or 2.5 days or whatever...that thing knocked me on my ass for a week. I'm still exhausted by mid-afternoon-early evening. I thought for sure I'd be back to work w/in 3 days, but I ended up taking a full week off (M-F, but I was already planning on M) and leaving early on the following Monday. He really might not just be whining about it.

Heather--I agree with Duff. My nephew and his parents had it, he was better in a couple days but the parents were out for a week easily. Sucks.
My confession is I am kind of looking forward to DH being gone this weekend. I'm gonna order me some Chinese food (he hates it) and pick up a few movies. I know I'm home all day everyday but it's different at night. Plus I'm putting up my tree!!! (we are having my family xmas on the 5th)
I was shooting for the Friday show, which I think really helped. I gave up online because they kept offering me tickets only in the left orchaestra section all the way to the left (meaning you'd miss anything near the lefthand side of the stage!) So I sucked it up and called. (Thank god I sent Greg a text - he was on hold waiting with them too! LOL) I got seats in the right orchaestra (our fave section), 2 seats in from the aisle, row C (so ~5 rows back.)
SO EXCITED - it'll give us something to look forward to post-holidays.
I was just thinking the same thing. I just tell Blair I am not in the mood. But in all honesty, I'm always in the mood (even if I'm tired) and he's the one who's not. It's very rare that I am not in the mood. When I hit my 30's my sex drive really kicked in, and his went down. lol.
Greg used to make comments like that, but because my sex drive had gone COMPLETELY while I was on BCPs, it's wind up making me feel so bad because we had sex SO LITTLE. So his smart-ass comments would upset me, we'd "fight" about it, and over time he stopped commenting like that most of the time.
It also irritated me as well because he would make comments like that, but he WASN'T always raring to go. So it became a HUGE thing for me because I got so pissed off that he acted like the "typical horny husband" always ready and his wife didn't give it up... when he's usually the one too tired to try anything. LOL (And frankly, it loses it's appeal if I'm the one who's always gotta start it.)
MH is the exact same way. I swear I'd like to leave town when he gets sick.
I am so addicted to it! I figure out the return as well. My friend asked how I got so far so fast and it's because I figured the returns and concetrate on getting ribbons. Very pitiful!
I have two.
I want to take a vacation and not tell a single person where i am cause im sick of all this drama approaching in my life. I dont need it and want to keep the baby far from it.
Secondly, my sil and i normally get along fine shes two years younger then me and not married/no kids. Fine, but dont tell me how im going to do everything a certain way cause thats what you would do and that i should only have the decor you say i should in his nursery. Your driving me nuts and we will do it our own way so please knock it off.
I haven't done hardly any work all week! I've done the necessary things that I had to get done and that's about it. I'm not completely to blame though because I've had to take Andy to school everyday and swim practice two days.
