Flame Free Friday Confessions?
My Grandparents are coming for Easter from Ft. Myers, I wasn't going to invite DH's parents over for Easter dinner because his dad is an @ss and for some reason doesn't like coming to our house, he usually walks in, sits at the table, eats and then while other people are still eating, stacks up dishes and then peaces out at the first possible second. He also doesn't like his IL's, and is a jerk to them when he's around them at our house.
I found out he won't be here, he'll be in PA working on his cabin from mid April to mid May, so I invited my MIL, Grandparents IL, and BIL to come over. I'm sure we'll all have a really fun time without him, too! I'm so so so happy he'll be gone.

Re: Flame Free Friday Confessions?
I've been feeling the same way with my running! It actually looks like there may be some changes in my thyroid & I suspect that might be the culprit, but it definitely sucks.
In keeping with this theme, I HATE when I make a comment about not being able to lose weight and people (my sister, best friend etc) tell me to shut up. When I'm training for a big race I like to be on the leaner side of my weight range. I understand that it might not look like I have weight to lose, but I work very hard at my running and I'm very healthy with what I eat. I have a right to complain on occasion if I'm having trouble meeting my goals when I work as hard as I do. It's frustrating.
LOL about the vanilla creamer
Along the workout theme, I'm supposed to take back over teaching my yoga class this coming Thursday, and I haven't yet made it through a full hour of yoga myself. One, it's hard to spare that hour when so much else needs to be done, and two, it just hurts because I'm so out of shape. I'm losing weight at a good consistent speed, but my upper abs are so pushed out because of him, and I just have a hard time imagining the work it's going to take to get them back down when I can feel 40 situps for 3 days after.
Sigh.
Aww. I'm sorry, LB. I can relate. I totally felt the same way when I was unemployed. It's such a helpless feeling. I totally LOL'd at the creamer thing though. haha
DP- Where do you teach yoga?
At Mayo Clinic, in a little side room off the main auditorium.
Yes, it is. And actually, I mentioned something about getting on 2 waiting lists, and the daycare we really wanted being so expensive and my MIL said "well, you're leaving the baby with us, right?" I had suspected they had planned to watch the baby... but it was never said aloud, so my predicament had been do I ask, or wait for the offer.
So I said no, because we decided daycare is a better option for us. Then JJ said something about we can fit it in our budget, just using a less expensive daycare, and my FIL said, "well you get what you pay for."
After that JJ and I were like okay, thank god we decided against letting him watch the child... but now I can see the drama ahead because for some random reason, he never wants to come to our house, but will expect to see the baby, I'm sure. It's going to be just great.
I am jealous of the women on "One Born Every Minute" and "A Baby Story" b/c they get to have their babies. I want MY baby NOW. 35 days to go. Plus I have no patience with my ninth graders right now b/c all I can think about is my maternity leave (despite the fact that it is unpaid, I am very excited).
On a good note, DH is back to work (on his ship in NY) for the next 4 weeks so we will be able to pay our bills next month. I will probably have to bring my shoes to work to have someone help me put them on b/c hubby is gone, but at least we will have moola.
I have been so bad with eating & not running lately, that I almost cried when I saw the scale at Solantic last night. Granted, I was fully clothed (including shoes!) & I had just eaten dinner, but still... I was not pleased.
ETA: It was a wake up call that I need to clean up my eating & starting taking running seriously again. I ran last week & over the weekend & had the right mindset... Then this thing with my hand happen. MF-er. I'm running tonight though. Someone hold me to that.
I'm battling that right now too....
Ditto. I've had a really hard time ever since the doc told me I couldn't run because of a bad knee. It's not a death sentence, but it might as well be. I finally started running and loving it, and now I can't. I may just say to hell with it.
My confession is that I'm kinda seething at DH about the house crap. I feel like he's holding us back because he just really doesn't want any ties here. I realize we won't be here forever, but I want to at least be settled somewhere for the time that we are. I feel like I'm paying for his choice of realtor (after he gave me crap about the last one), and now he just doesn't want to deal with it.
"My 101 List - Updating asap, I swear!
Can you schedule an upcoming race or something? I found that in the dead of summer and winter when my mileage would be down to 8-10/week and my long run was 4 miles, scheduling a 10k or a half would help motivate me to get my mileage back up.
Ditto this! My motivation to run right now is that I don't want to die in June. lol If I'm going to make it (& have a decent time,) I have no choice. I have to put the miles in. If not for that, I'd probably be on the couch b/c I'm not feeling all that motivated this week.
I just registered for the River Run to motivate myself.
& I'm doing the MS Mud Run in late March. DONATE TO ME!
DH's great grandmother passed away earlier this week and I am not going with him. I personally didn't feel like take a 9 month old to a funeral.
I don't understand people who are suffering through post partum depression wanting another baby.
I have a great baby and I don't suffer through any issues with him. Sometimes I just want to tell other people (other boards) "nanny nanny boo boo."
Mmmhmmm... except I want my friends. I'm hating on FL right now.
My Ovulation Chart
The new family photo I posted on FB is actually photoshopped from 2. The shots my DH and baby looked great in, I looked terrible in, because I kept running back and forth between setting the timer and posing. And the pix I looked ok in, Michael was spazzing like a nutter in. I am not going to tell his SM that, who requested adamantly that we 'casually' take a family photo, then finally admitted it was getting printed on canvas as a gift to FIL. Oh, and that her coupon was about to expire. So, not a casual photo then, and do it RIGHT NOW.
Haha. You're like the mom on that commercial. "Windows gave me the family that nature never could." Have you seen it?
I was thinking the same thing!
Could have fooled me!
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
I have a new one.
Im totally bailing on Hot Yoga. When I retraced my steps on another walk I worsened a blister on my heel. I know I can do the class with the blister, but Im using it as an excuse not to go. [insert shameful face here]
Update to my microwave chocolate cake/coffee creamer disaster: H is stopping by the store on his way home for real chocolate cake.
Jealous!
He better have one of these too:
