New Year Confessions
We haven't had a confessions in a while.
I confess that I have writer's block (and a lack of ambition). I'm thirteen short of my 101 in 1001.
I confess that during week 3 workout last night of my couch-to-5k training program, I had to cut back my workout. Just wasn't feeling it. I know that's a bad mindset, I had no drive to finish the last 1/2 mile. I was feeling pretty sluggish.
I confess that I'm irritated with DH for not thinking Miss Pugsly is cute. I don't care what other people think, but he is her "daddy" and should love her completely. He should have said something at the shelter. He says that he loves her personality, but doesn't like her face. Hmmph.
Re: New Year Confessions
I confess that I am still very angry with DH's parents. We asked them not to come visit for Xmas because we were exhausted, DH and I haven't seen each other at all in Dec because his work schedule was crazy, and they came and visited us 4 times in a row (Aug-Nov) and we just needed sometime to ourselves. Well they took it very personal and said some very hurtful things to my DH. AND we now know that when they demanded to some visit us last easter 2 weeks after we moved into our new house they were upset because we would not let them stay longer than a week! I could go on and on about things they said...but I won't. THEN they decided to email my mom on my birthday to complain how "the kids are too busy for us to come visit" etc as if they were asking my mom to take their side....even though we are not choosing sides. Then they called my DH yesterday and act as if everything is good and as if nothing happened. DH is ok with that, but I am not. I think they need to apologize. They said they said a lot of those things out of anger which I can understand, but then you need to apologize! AND I confess that I and irritated as hell that DH's mom wants to plan out every time they are going to come visit this year....why????? Some of us have jobs and do not have 8 weeks of vacation to entertain.......Jerks....
I also confess that after almost 2 weeks of "winter break" I am still tired as hell and just want to sleep all day and not go to work. What happened to feeling "rejuvinated"....cause I don't.
I confess that I HAD 101 things, but when I read through them again, I thought some of them were lame, so I'm back down to like 95... Gotta get on that!
I also confess that I found a grey hair this morning... eek. And I'm only 24! Gotta be the science doing it to me.
Annnnd... I have been a raging biiitch to DH, and I know that... I just haven't been sleeping well so I'm in a terrible mood. Poor DH.
I confess...
... there's no way I could think of 101 things I want to do EVER, much less in the next 1001 days.
... all I can think of lately is "good timing" (as if there is such a thing) for DH and I to have a baby. I don't even want a baby right now, I just keep thinking it takes almost a year once you ARE pregnant, so I keep thinking about it and I keep backing into a "let's start trying" date of way too soon!
... I'm worried that we won't save enough money to go to SIL's destination wedding. Well, I guess we'll have it but it might deplete our whole savings, which I will hate.
I confess that I am too much in love with peppermint bark to really stick to my resolution diet. Once that's all gone, though, it's on, baby!
I confess that as much as I love DH's ability to be determined and strong-willed, I've been really pissy about his stubbornness lately. I had resolved to spend more quality time with him and give him the attention he deserves, but he is really not making it easy lately.
I further confess that DH has given me two options for potential locations for our next move: one close to his family and one close to no one, where we would have to strike out on our own and make new connections. I have really been pushing for the latter because I just can't handle his family in more than small doses.

... How does that even happen? Did the other salesman really not know that you were looking at it?

I confess I'm so bored I could scream!
I also confess that hubby's work situation has me stressed out. His company just got sold but there is all sorts of strange secret stuff going on - l like they haven't even told people that the company was sold but people, of course, already know. Hubby took a 20% cut in pay last year and I'm worried that they'll start slashing again.
Oh - and Hubby has been doing great things for my small business (I own it - he works for it) that we run from home but I'm getting a little jealous of his time and know I shouldn't be. I work part time 3 days a week on top of a full time job so when I'm home, I sorta want to see the guy but he's been logging a lot of hours at night for our company so he's been busy. Good news - he's billing out a big chunk of change which will pay off my car and all of his remaining school loans. Bad news - I sorta miss eating dinner with someone!
Millie if you feel horrible, then I should feel REALLY horrible...
My DH has to get up for work sometimes as early as 330am (pilot) and I hate his alarm because it wakes me up.....and then I can't go back to sleep and have to get up at 630am. I have a terrible time falling back asleep.. so on the nights he has to get up at 330 I make him sleep in the guest room....with the dog. I'm a terrible person!

That's quite a bit of down time. I used to work for a job where there was NOTHING to do, and I literally surfed the internet all day. When I did get a project, I felt exhausted and didn't want to do it. Boredom is a mindkiller. Are you sure you're not just understimulated?

I confess that when I say stuff like "I wish people would stop talking about having babies" and "we just got married...we want to wait a long time" that I might be telling a small lie. I confess that maybe I want a child more than I ever realized but know the timing is very bad so I'm forcing myself to say those things.
I confess that now that I'm married I have absolutely no desire to loose weight. (I know it's horrible!) I am part of a weight loss group now...but the desire is no where around.
Maybe, I just got my degree to be a teacher. I am a "tutor" and only get kids from each grade level 30 minutes at a time. I am bummed that I am not a teacher, and its depressing with all these wonderful teachers walking around me with jobs that I want, and I only get substitute pay. It is a very easy job.

It was on ebay with a "buy-it-now" price and when I contacted them the guy asked me to buy through them instead of ebay because it saves them a $100 "finder's fee" and he'd take that $100 off of my total. He said he would take it off ebay as soon as they got my deposit form. So I faxed the form, did all the paperwork, got a loan pre-approval, and someone hit "buy-it-now" before they got my fax. They have to honor it as long as that person pays within the given 7 days.
I'm a bit late but I confess:
I am irritated with all the people who gave us chocolate at Christmas. I know it shouldn't seem like a big deal but it's killer when you are trying to lose weight for a honeymoon with beaches involved. So I have been slowly dragging it to work and making them eat it...except my humungo tub of icy squares. I can't bring myself to part with it.
I am in hate with my job right now. It always slows down around the holidays and I hate looking for make work projects when there is nothing to do. They only last so long before your back to doing nothing but sitting at the desk I am virtually chained to and being bored.
I'm late on this, too, but I hate hate hate my job. I feel like I could be doing so much more with my life. I feel like most of the 10 years I have been here have been a big waste.
I also confess that I'm hoping the snow continues to pick up here so I can go home early. I would rather be at home than work right now.
