WTF Wednesday/Confession Wednesday
Pardon me, this will be long:
1. So H keeps asking me if we're public (as in anyone can know now) about the pregnancy. I'm nearly 14 weeks, I have no reason to believe anything will go wrong, but...I feel like I DON'T want certain people to know?
Like, his friend from college asked if other friend from college knew. Good H contacts me and asks when is it ok to tell. I say...can we not ever tell this person? (I just simply put it, don't like this guy, I think he's a giant douchecanoe). And all kidding aside, I just feel like some people don't need to know. Now, this is completely irrational of me; they were fraternity brothers and are still in contact. But really, W(hy) the fvck does he need to know?
I don't think I am ready to hear stuff from the masses...or any of that jazz...don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED for this pregnancy, but I won't be completely ok until the baby is in my arms. Why am I like this? WTF!!! Why don't I want to scream it to the world?!
2. Another WTF (more of a vent): I really do not this I like this couple that moved into our town that H went to college with. I've known them for years, just something about them rubs me the wrong way, sure I guess they're nice enough-but I don't know... I have a very different personality from them, and do not want to hang out with them, like ever-- I just have very little in common with either of them. And I feel like the wife is constantly judging me. I don't know why. I just do. H on the other hand thinks we should hang out, bc they don't know anyone else really. Well, then, they should have considered taking jobs in places where they know more people (yikes...that sounds awfully b!tchy of me...) instead of moving across the country where they know basically no one....
And, thank you. I'm done venting/b!tching/moaning.
Re: WTF Wednesday/Confession Wednesday
Jackie, sometimes you say things that could have come out of my mouth at any given time. I had several people I didn't think deserved to know. Also, some of H's friends just rub me the wrong way, regardless of the fact that we desperately need couple friends to hang out with. I would just rather not. No matter how big of a b!tch that makes me.
My confession is that I have been talking so much sh!t about my coworker/office mate who took the week off at the last minute because she felt like it (even though she is always late and missing deadlines and "too busy" to take on other tasks even though I know she spends most of her work day doing personal stuff). There is a long back story behind it, but I shouldn't be such a b!tch. I have other ways of removing myself from an association with her and her style or work than just talking sh!t.
Jackie, I think it's hormones, but if you weren't so hormonal you would realize that your DH is excited too and he probably wants to share the news with his friends. It may be a bit unfair to expect him to keep it a secret or for you to try to control the people who do know about it, his friends or yours. As you found out, people aren't always going to call and ask if it's ok for them to tell someone you're pregnant, so it will only benefit you to relax about it a little. But *** here all you want - that's what we're here for. ;-)
I just feel like ripping people's heads off and I don't want to be here at work. I have a co-worker (the admin for our group) who is dumber than a box of rocks and she is driving me crazy this week, coming over to talk to me about stupid crap. I wish she'd just stay the hell in her own cubicle! I don't want to talk to her!! I may also be hormonal as it's past time for my dot to start and I'm suffering for it. And WHY does it have to come right at NYE anyway?!?! Stupid Mother Nature!

Tell me why my husband got a ticket today on base - and he works for the freaking military police. I was so pissed, but maybe this will help him follow the laws more closely. They are serious about that stuff in CO - in Oklahoma, you can get away with way more. He's been there six weeks and already got a ticket. Sigh.
I've been catching up on sleep the past week, which has left my mom with JJ a lot. I feel kinda bad that I sleep in an hour after he gets up, but I have got to get some rest before I lose it.
