FFFC
I need to vent. I'm bent out of shape about this wedding tomorrow. I agreed to passing out programs. Well now, they've upped the time to be there and asked me and H to pass out the bubbles after the ceremony and H has to do something else right after the ceremony.
I'm already stressed about leaving my boy and now I have to leave even earlier which means I'll likely have to pump in the car b/c I won't get to feed him before we leave. Which also means now I'm not sure if I have enough milk in my stash for him.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with helping. I just feel stressed mainly over pumping and stuff (and yes I recognize it's the tiniest thing to be stressed over which stresses me more - what's wrong with me!?)
Re: FFFC
I'm sorry sweetie. I'm sure it will all work out and honestly I wouldn't be too worried about their time table. It's not like you need to be there 2 hours before the ceremony just to hand out programs (even if they tell you that, I would just sort of um "forget").
We're on a spending freeze, yet I bought a purse and a rug this week. And we're going out to dinner this weekend for different things and DH needs a couple pairs of pants b/c all of his don't fit right, so we're shopping for that tonight. He's the same weight, but he says everything is heading south.
Wives Unscripted
Summer that truly does suck, I always think of bubbles as a nice way to include any kids in the family they love passing that stuff out.
I am cheating today very badly with Almond Chicken. I ordered it from the wrong place so it isn't that good and my CW keeps standing over my desk talking while I am eating so I am doubly mad. It feels silly to be seething inside this much but I am. Stupid pms.
Yeah, don't stress! That can't be good for your production, right? I mean, I don't exactly know anything about it. I don't really have any suggestions though. I'm sorry!
My confession: Remember how last weekend I said I needed to clean my house. Yeah, never did it. I am such a slacker! Any suggestions on how I can get motivated to clean?

I am encouraging DH to go fishing or something with the boys for a few hours this weekend so I can have some alone time. I haven't had any since he came home and I am going crazy. I am a person that needs space and when i don't get it I get cranky. The broken leg isn't helping make things any better.
This is SO rude, I hate that too.
Tania: You're right, stressing is not good for production, I need to chill!
I've read a tip for cleaning is to set a timer for like 10 minutes, pick a location and clean that for the 10 minutes. Then later, pick another place and set the timer so you're breaking up the cleaning in little bursts so you don't get tired of it.
Shania: LOL at "heading south"!
This is just a regular ole confession.
Sometimes when a movie/book that I wanted to see or read has been out for a while that I never got around to I will just look it up on wikepedia and read the whole thing.
Summer - That's a great tip!! I will definitely stash that away. My problem is that my house is organized and straightened, it just hasn't been deep cleaned in forever. Like, I need to mop. My floor looks fine, I just know that it hasn't been done in forever so it should be done. Not sure if that makes sense.

Yep, that totally makes sense, I'm the same way! That's also how it keeps getting put off!
Pooks, I do the same thing! I like to just know!
My Confession..
Don't you hate when your English Teacher friends post on Facebook and just about every other work is spelled incorrectly.. Who the frick gave you a degree to teach children... UGHHHHH
Tania: Here is the perfect motivator for cleaning your house... Call someone to do it for you
OMG!!! My mom is actually an office manager for a cleaning company. I've been seriously contemplating setting up some cleaning. That's how much I hate it!

Summer, that sucks. I'm sorry!
My confession might help ease your stress: we have a can of formula in the house and whenever Jacob's ready to go to daycare & he needs a little more milk, I make a few ounces of formula. I was so single-minded about how Jacob eats that I forgot that he can drink formula if we run out of freezer stash. Just this morning, I realized that we were short on milk and I made 3 oz of formula. He was almost out the door when I realized that I have a 3 oz bag I could thaw instead. Duh! IDK what's wrong with my brain.
Tania.. Just do it.. Believe me there is nothing like the smell of a clean house when you get home from working all day
I have had a girl clean my house every week for the past few years and I love it!!! Don't get me wrong, I still clean everyday and pick up the everyday stuff.. But she comes in and scrubs everything... I love her
my confession...
I'm stressed about my ILs having Xander stay the night with them tomorrow. There house is not baby friendly at all, I need to pack up my entire house for him to go for a visit for a few hours, and now he's staying the night over there! I really only agreed to it so Andrew didn't have any hurt feelings. My mom is stressed about this too. The last time we were with my ILs, FIL tried to give Xander soda! Hello he's only 9 months old...he doesn't need that!
