ok, we have4n't done confessions in a while...
let's hear 'em!
Re: confessions
I confess that I'm constantly thinking about confessions throughout the week...but now that I'm sitting here typing..I can't remember...lets see..
I confess that sometimes I think it would be nice to just be a SAHW if I don't mind a job.
I confess that sometimes I'll go to taco bell, and I'll hide the evidence that I've gone. I'll order some crazy meal...then run outside to put the trash in our common container for the house that we share with the people upstairs. I know DH thinks it's gross, and I dont want to admit that I'm eating crap. but its sooo good.
I confess that when I think about confessions, I think about Sandra's sheets haha.
Omigosh I do that too! I will hide ice cream containers, or Sonic. I don't want DH judging me! lol
I confess that I'm kind of looking forward to DH being gone. That'll probably change about halfway through, but for now, I'm excited. I can sleep in, eat what I want, watch trashy TV...
I confess that I have a big problem with reality TV. I am counting down to the new season of Survivor, and I could watch vh1 alllllll day. Yea, I feel pathetic.

I confess i lied to my midwife about my weight cause i put so much on already
i also confess to eating a lot of junk when no one is around (my new favorite is a box of lil teddy bear crackers dipped in betty crocker premaid vanilla frosting!!)
i confess it is freaky the whole "nesting" thing i have never had such a NEED to clean...and just so you know i even changed the sheets on monday!!
i confess i have become addicted to buying baby stuff on ebay
i confess that i "fall asleep" most nights on the couch after work so H will make dinner and give me a massage and just be extra sweet....i know that ones a bad one!!!
I confess that I have to start my scrapbook for the wedding, and really don't even want to sort through the thousands of pictures (pro and non-pro).
I confess that even though we bought an espresso machine, I still like to go to starbucks in the morning. I'll use cash so DH doesn't know that I went.
I confess that even though I made it through the 1st (and toughest) year of my program, I am scared sh!tless to go back in August.
I confess that I actually wanted my cousin to have a girl (that one is awful, I know...)
I confess that it gets harder and harder every day to get up and go to my "real" job. I have no desire to be here, and I don't care.
I confess that I would really love to bring home a little souvenir from Greece
But I know we're not ready yet.
my blog
I confess that I have not been doing as much school work as I should and I have been slacking on the readings.
I have been assigned yet another case study, this one if for my geriatrics class and of course its worth 30% of our grade. I totally suck at case studies and am really nervous that I will not do well on this.
I confess that I really want to buy a new dress to wear to my friends wedding next month even though I already have one that I can wear. (we are trying to save for a house so I really shouldn't be spending the extra money)
I'm going to steal some of yours.... I confess on the junk food thing too, but I don't hide it. DH and I have been making "late night taco!" runs for years. Every couple weeks we'll run to Taco Bell at 11pm or so, come back, and eat them in bed. I really like their new $2 meal deal, that's great for late at night. Thankfully we haven't been going as much.
I confess that DH and I are both looking forward to being apart for 7 weeks when he's in Dallas doing review and I'm in Buffalo working. We have a double bed and our limbs fight all night and the bed we'll have when we're back together is a double also. We'll miss each other, but we're looking forward to the space.
Finally, I confess that I feel like a lazy, fat panda. It's gross and I get so mad at myself. I am making all these changes to be healthier and actually sticking with them, but my mentality isn't changing for the positive... it's actually getting worse.

YES.
We just got back from Taco Bell. I tried their Fresco taco - it wasn't bad!

I don't think that's so bad, Sandra. I can totally see myself doing that. I plan on taking full advantage of DH's desire to be sweet and supportive when I'm pregnant.
I confess that I have a different ring tone for work calls and I sometimes let them go to voicemail just because I want to know what it's about before I talk to the person.
I confess that when I found out one of DH's coworkers killed himself last weekend I got worried that some day that could be my husband. His office is SUCH a horrible environment. When DH asked me if I trust him to never abandon his family like that, I said yes (but a little tiny part of me isn't so sure).

Oh Raeyn, how sad for DH's coworker. What field is your H in? And how is his search going?
I confess that I'm more worried about our finances than I let on, now that H is part time. It's totally worth every sacrifice to see him so happy, but I worry we'll dip into savings and I REALLY don't want to.
I also confess that H working part time is making me feel more trapped than ever in my current job. I hate hate HATE the way I'm being taken advantage of by my employer, and am certain I'll have high blood pressure and be completely gray in a year if I can't find something else.
Last confession: I lurk on WAY too many TK/TN boards!

To be honest, while I do feel sad for him my first reaction was to be angry at him. He was 42 years old and left behind a wife and three daughters when he ended his life. On father's day, nonetheless. I only met him a few times and all he ever talked about was the importance of family and god. I just don't understand it.
DH is a software engineer. His search has yielded no luck, but he has stopped looking quite so actively since his company merged with another and he was forced to sign a noncompete agreement. Right now it looks unlikely that I will find a full time teaching position this year, so the plan is for him to stay at that miserable place while I go back to school for another year to get my special ed endorsement. It will be a really good move for my career, but I feel really bad that it will pretty much trap him there.

IMHO, suicide is the most selfish thing anyone can do - so I can totally understand your anger. I should've specified that I was sympathetic more toward his family, not him.
I'm sorry your H is so miserable. I feel his pain, since my H and I are in a very similar (reversed) situation. A year seems like an eternity away, but hopefully he'll be able to make it a semi-pleasant one. At least you know in a year there will be more options open to you, which should help take some pressure off of him...? Or at least hopefully.

It definitely helps knowing that next year I'll almost for sure have a full time position with benefits. DH keeps reminding me that in a couple years I'll be the one supporting us while he starts his own business, so it'll all even out eventually.
