Re: Flamefree Friday?
Someone I know has a baby close in age to Ben, and I feel like a terrible mother compared to her.
I told mike my coach bag was having issues in order to be able to get a new one.
My MIL is moving to the area, and I'm very uncomfortable with it. I'm not used to have family so close, and she doens;t drive, so I feel like we are going to be constantly dealing with her,
People whose lives appear to be perfect (from the outside) drive me nuts at the moment. I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with them personally, but more for the fact that I feel like I can't get a grip on my own life.
I want to punch my interviewer from Sept. in the face. Don't tell me I'll know the following Wednesday if you don't really think that can happen.
Sometimes I seriously consider not having kids for the pure fact that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.
This is still an issue for me, and I have a 7 week old. Don't get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEN, however I miss being able to go and get my nails done, and go to the movies. Don't get me wrong I can leave him with DH, but I'm tied to pumping, and it gets me sometimes.

I'm kind of behind at work and I don't care.
Most of what I'm behind on is things I put off 5 months ago that I really need now. I didn't seriously think I would still be here.

CRAFTY ME

I have the same issue as Heather. I have been in the same job for the last 5 years and I am definitely getting the "itch." I have a very understanding boss, even if he is the most politically incorrect man I have ever met, but he has been supportive and helped promote me each year. But I literally have been running the same contracts the entire time I have been here. When I first came on there were a lot of issues that needed cleaning up and they finally got cleaned up. Now we are running smoothly and it kind of sucks.
My problem is I don't want to stay in this field and I don't want to change to another company because it would just be the same issues somewhere else. I would love to go back to school but I hate to incur more student debt to do undergrad classes so I could go to graduate school. I just feel very stagnant and lonely.
I really have a bad attitude about my job lately, I'm getting bored and it's a struggle because i don't get paid enough and it's a struggle for us. I'm scared to start looking, I'm attached to this place and my FIL works here, but there's a good chance I will be laid off in 2 years after our new system overall.
I'm scared to start looking, I'm scared I won't find anything or have to make a lateral move, I need to find motivation to get this going and update my resume because we can never start a family on what I get paid now. I need to find something more satisfying and stimulating because the bad attitude is starting to creap into other areas of my life. I just need to take the big leap and think about myself and my husband.

I feel like my house is a constant disaster. I apologize for the messes every time somebody comes over. They usually look at me like I'm crazy. My house really isn't dirty, I just feel so overwhelmed with it sometimes. Nothing stays straightened up for more than a day, and these dogs --while I love them-- are ruining my brand new carpet, my walls, my furniture, and making my house smell like sh*t (not literal sh*t, just dog smell).
I guess I just hate the domestic role that has to be played. Wade actually does a ton around the house, and way more than any other guy I've met/heard about, but he's also the one making the messes. I feel like, when he's gone, everything stays neat and in order. I'm just sick of having to vacuum, fold the towels, scrub the toilet, wash the sheets, etc. every single week. I spend more time doing housework than homework.
I wouldn't want to go back to having an apartment over a house, but life was a lot easier back then. Every weekend wasn't spent on projects (indoor and outdoor), and it seemed like things were just more in order. We're trying to get the basement finished, plus wrestling starts again in a couple weeks. I have no idea when I'm going to get to spend time with Wade, or when anything is going to get done around here.
Sometimes I wish I could be married, but live on my own. In a tiny, clean, uncluttered studio apartment.
I absolutely HATE my job and cannot wait to get my letter in the mail from school that says I can substitute. I cannot wait to be done with my job. It's not really the job, it is the managers of the other departments that are so annoying and always butting into the gift shop. They think they know everything and I am so sick of it and ready to just tell them off next time they come in.
I wish I could put more money in savings, but for some reason right now I am struggling. I don't have any more bills than before but I just can't seem to get money into my savings account.
I am late in the game so I will make it a FFS (flamefree Saturday).
I always sabatoge myself with food. For example, I bought some mini york peppermint patties and I *thought* freezing them would make me eat less. Nope...the opposite. The bag is almost gone.
and like Amanda's post, I only have one pair of jeans and I wear them almost every weekend. I refuse to buy jeans b/c 1) I end up frustrated and in tears b/c of my size and 2 I want to lose weight. However if I keep doing what I do with FFS #1, I will get no where.
