Re: wednesday confession time :)

  • I spent literally hundreds of dollars at the Gap Give and Get event last weekend (mostly online.) My DH is going to die when he sees all the boxes. (Most of the stuff will go back though, because I had to order double sizes . . but he will still have a coronary when these packages come. Woops!)

    omg - me too!  ordered a few things in 2 sizes for both me and the baby. at least i know dh's and ava's sizes and those were 1 orders. but, i ordered from both gap and on, and then went shopping at gap too since the selection was different.

    We might be related, lol. I went to the stores, too, since the selection was different and dropped another $100 at ON. If I had kids to shop for, my bill would have been out.of.control!

  • my confession is not really a confession but there's a what's cooking nestie that's pretty popular and seems to really know a lot, but every single one of her recipes that i've tried has bombed. like they're terrible. and i always wind up needing to buy so many ingredients for them and i feel totally wasteful.

    i try really hard to ignore her posts so i don't get sucked in any more.

  • I wanted to punch ur husband in the face this weekend, and want u 2 know that I went home and cried for hours! Do you not know how much you have hurt me these past 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am exhausted from being up with my sick kid all night but here I am at work. I knew working for family would have its disadvantages. I feel way too responsible for what happens here. Meanwhile, my coworker stayed home once because she was hungover. I could never do that.

     

    I have a meeting with Mini's principal tomorrow night. She wants to discuss the evaluations they've done on my "exceptional" child. As usual, I am a nervous wreck. Meanwhile, this is all good stuff.

     

    It's looking llike we'll "have" to pay for a new pool out-of-pocket. Thanks to my mom shaming me, I feel like a spoiled brat every time I tell someone that we "need" a new pool. I feel like a bigger brat whenever I feel like we "need" one that is larger than the one we already have.

    1. you wouldn't do that even if your boss was unrelated. that's work ethics, not family matters.

    2. wow - an exceptional kid?! that's pretty awesome.

    3. yes, a pool is a necessity when you are an entertainer. that's life.

    1- This is true. If I can do my job I will. The kid is home with her dad so it's fine.

    2- Yes. Thanks. Unfortunately, our district does not have a gifted program so they are trying to figure out what to do with her. Scary stuff.

    3- YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!

  • Margie, that's amazing about Mini, she's a smart cookie.

    Confession, well this isn't a confession it's more of a vent. SIL had a bad day yesterday and got into an argument with her BF (umm HI that happens), the boys didn't have school and they were being beastly, and she stubbed her toe. Awee don't you feel bad for her? Poor baby she had a rough day, what can we do to make it better? Baby her? Buy her things? Aweee. EFF THAT SH!T! I'm sorry, get a freakin' grip lady, sh!t happens, suck it up . Today she calls while I'm in the car with MIL and FIL on the way to work (they've got the Bluetooth in the car so I obviously hear the convo) and she's all whiny because her poor toe hurts and she doesn't think she can walk 1000ft down the street to bring A to the bus stop or walk to the end of the block to bring E to school either. Can one of us help her? WHAT? Are you serious? Umm hi no, we work. Kthanks.

    /end

    But seriously, I'm having a really fab day other than that, and the snow.

  • My confession is I have an illness called "I have to always plan a vacation" I am feeling under the weather today so I stayed home from work. Since I woke up I have been looking for hotels/condos for Ocean City Maryland for this summer and cruises for next year. I will have to clear the history on the laptop before T gets home because if he sees that I have been looking at cruises I am pretty sure he will he will make me sleep in the car tonight.

  • Marg as long as your daughter is with a good teacher they will be able to differentiate the work for her. If she is really advanced then they have to make a program available to her even if that means sending her out of district at your districts expense.  Good luck this school stuff is so much trickier then I thought it would be.

    Thank you! Her teacher this year is amazing. She really challenges and brings out the best in my girl. Up until this fall, Mrs K was a second grade teacher so I feel like the planets aligned properly for us because she knows how to handle her. This trimester, DD has met with every teacher in the building so they are already trying to find a good fit for her when she goes into first grade in the fall. Sigh.

  • I missed this but my confession is that I don't want to diet to the extreme after this baby.  That being said, my sister found out she was preggers and is due in November.  Half of my maternity wardrobe is hers so I have to work out like crazy so I can fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes so she has clothes to wear.  As excited as I am, I'm annoyed at the timing.
