I just purged my FB account of complainers..... I feel like my newsfeed has been taken over by people complaining about everything and anything - their school, their work, the weather, being pregnant, etc, etc, etc..... can't take it.
Like seriously is your life that bad and do you think people care about the dumb questions people ask you at work? because complaining about it doesn't make you seem smarter.... And to the girl who compared being pregnant with the flu to being waterboarded.. really?? If I had a voodoo doll you'd be getting throat punched....
ok... any other confessions??

yeah i hear ya on that! I guess I find it easier to laugh and make fun of those people than the constant eyeroll I give to those who post a complaint daily...

I've totally done that. I narrowed it down even more and made a "People I actually care about" list, and usually only show that in my newsfeed unless I'm bored.
My confession: I'm scared people see me as less independent than I actually am because all of the moves I have made since college, including going abroad, have been due to E's school/work. I'm perfectly happy to do it and I know my career wouldn't afford us such an opportunity, but it would be nice to not always feel like I'm a follower.
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
My real confession, ever since Kyle got back from Miami I haven't really felt like cooking. We had leftovers several nights and last night we had fishsticks and tater tots. I'm thinking that I should actually cook tonight, he has been home for a week now after all.
I feel like a crappy wife. I have been sick and physically and emotionally exhausted for about a week now. DH has done the most amazing job taking care of me and I feel bad that I'm not taking care of him right now.
I feel like a brat for being impatient with TTC, given that it's only been 5 months. truthfully, I'm still pretty clueless when it comes to my body, so I'm not surprised that I haven't gotten KU yet. I guess it's just one of those things that I want to happen so badly, and I know I have to work hard for it, when it seems to come easily to people who don't deserve it.
one of my coworkers, who can barely afford the FOUR (all boys) children she has now, continues to stay with her crack head baby daddy and let him drain their bank account for binges twice a month. she told me the other day that if she knew she would have a girl, she would get pregnant again in a heartbeat. I wanted to fuucking punch her in the mouth.
I feel guilty for even being impatient, considering that it's taken some people years to conceive. I feel like a giant biitch complaining about it. =/

H and I made our appointment to talk to a couples counselor about kids, and I am absolutely terrified at the idea of finalizing this decision. If we decide no, we'll end up disappointing so many people; if we decide yes, I'm afraid that I'll hate being a SAHM for a while and won't be a good parent. If I could put this decision off for 10 years, I totally would. But we realistically don't have 10 years.
I confess that I have mentally checked out of my job. I'm no longer feeling challenged, and the monotony is driving me insane. I feel like a brat saying that, since there are many people without jobs. I'm hoping to get an opportunity to interview with a couple of these jobs I applied for recently. I need a new start, feeling stale.
E - I did a great fb purge recently myself. And then I got called out on it! Someone messaged me asking why I deleted them! yikes.
eek! I'm always a little afraid of this... although I normally feel pretty safe deleting people I never see in real life, let alone talk to on FB.

I would welcome a call out from one of these people so I could tell them why
... but yeah, most of them are the people who request friendship then never post/interact with me, so I doubt I'll be missed.

I did a facebook purge about 10 months ago and got called out once I was pregnant because one of my friends couldn't follow my updates. I've been deleted from some friends lists and it really doesn't bother me. I know lately I've been a complainer and I try not to be but there are days that its really hard.
I actually deleted on of my "friends" because she never had a nice thing to say on any of posts even the ones that were happy. She told me that because I live in Washington I have no clue what torrential rain looks like. She took to god way too hard when she left the state. Honestly I don't miss her.
I confess that I have been complaining too much lately and feel terrible about it and know I should try to be better about not doing it there are just days that its really hard. There are lots of positives in my life right now and I try to be happy about them but some of them the feeling like crap constantly or the never being able to get enough sleep to feel good just gets in the way.
I saw a number on the scale this morning that I haven't seen in probably 5 years. Woot woot!
My confession is that I proceeded to eat not 1, not 2, but 3 cupcakes for breakfast. WTH is my problem?! Now I'll spend the rest of the day trying to make up for it so I'm not up again tomorrow
I confess that I'm more upset about my RE appointment than I thought I would be. I don't really care if my children are made up of my genetic material or not, but I think I'm just upset that I have 2 embryos that we may never be able to use.
Also I confess that without you ladies I'm 100% sure I wouldn't have survived losing my children. Somedays it still really sucks, but somedays I don't even really think about it.
Also I less serious confession: I am secretly hoping that DH decides the dinner I asked him to cook is too complicated for him and instead I'll come home to some Indian take out
