UO Thursday!
Whatcha got ladies??
Here's mine:
I can't stand April Fools jokes. Especially the ones where someone pretends they were hurt or in an accident. I know that sounds really "sore sport" of me, but I just don't like them very much.
After researching almost every daycare in Norman, Moore, and S. OKC. I think DHS needs to change their liscensing regualtions. You would not believe what some of the places look like. There were a couple that we drove past and didn't even go in. I believe every daycare (in home included) needs to be nationally accredited and go through about 20 to 30 hours of training. The requirement now is only 12. I just can't believe people are ok leaving their children with the lunch lady in the morning.
Re: UO Thursday!
I want H (and he wants to also) to get a vasectomy after we are done having children. I'm sure this would be a more unpopular opinion for some of the husbands out there. I don't want there to even be a slight chance of an "oops". When I'm done, I want to be done.
I am hoping there's a male form of birth control available by the time Bentley hits the age where all of that starts happening. I'm going to be pissed if I end up having to raise a 16yo's baby for them.
I can reassure you this is very unpopular with my H.
I don't think pregnant women are fragile beings who need to be waited on. I think it's ridiculous for doctors to tell pregnant women not to lift over 25 pounds. I think pregnant women who do this are hawt:

My H is the same way Ami.
Oh this is definitely popular in our house. In fact we've been talking in detail about the procedure, when/where/how..... It's absolutely happening.
ETA: Overshare? lol.
Nope! I think it's great that P is open to it. H is actually the one who brought it up--he knows I don't want to be on a pill forever and have it affect my sex drive, so this was the best option. I don't mind being on the Mirena since it lasts five years, but there is still a possibility for pregnancy on that and I don't really want to have to worry about remembering to exchange it. Snip snip, done, no more babies, very little pain, no recovery time. Plus it's cheap. Why wouldn't a guy do it? He isn't having kids with anyone else, so there's no need to have seed.
This is a well-respected decision in our house as well. H would probably go get snipped tomorrow, but I am wanting to wait a bit longer, though it's pretty firm that we're not having any more kids.
We don't even have kids yet but DH is ALL ABOUT getting one when we are through having kids.
Which brings me to my UO.
My in-laws WEAR ME THE H3LL OUT. They came down for a 3 day visit this past weekend and I wanted to find a Lady Bic and make it "swim upstream" by the time they left... My MIL made, oh, about 1,387 references to her desire for grandchildren and managed (as per usual) to drive a wedge between DH and I because she is constantly making fun of him and it makes me look like I'm taking her side when I don't tell her to shut the f*ck up. Also, when we DO have kids, she all but spelled out the fact that she will be "living" at our house for EXTENDED periods of time to enjoy her grandbabies. JOY.
On top of everything, when I was cleaning up the house after our guests left, I found OUR bottle of KY in the guest bathroom.
... Which means they had to of come INTO our bedroom and taken from DH's bedside table... the very same bedside table that houses the boudoir book I made him as a wedding gift. Yup. Win.
Wow. Talk about boundaries issues!
Seriously! That ticks me off FOR you! What kind of gall must they have to go tromping into your bedroom for that?!
After standing in shock for approximately one hour, all I could think was, If you are going to sneak into our master bedroom and steal it... Why not hide the evidence and PUT IT BACK so you could spare me the mental scaring.... ???
All I can say is ICK. I want to be waited on and I will be fragile if I get pregnant again! It's the best excuse to be a lazy tuboshit for 9 months with nobody saying a damned word!
Um...I'm ridiculously giddy right now.
Three high school boys that play baseball just came to my door selling coupons for local restaurants to raise money for the team.
When I answered the door they asked me if my mom was home. I smiled and he goes oh...your mom doesn't live here, you do...um...and looked at me totally awkwardly/embarrassed.
I bought the coupons. DUH. After he got over being embarrassed he told me I looked really young.
OMG Jamie. I feel sick to my stomach.
First off, they were only at your house for THREE days - couldn't they keep their hands off one another until they got home - that's gross. I am just overly modest so I absolutely would not have sex in someone else's house - especially my CHILD'S house!!!!!!!!
Second off, I agree, why didn't they RETURN the KY??
Third, I would have your DH say something to them about it. Going into your room without your permission is absolutely unacceptable. I am very skeevy about people being in my bedroom/bathroom area and NO ONE is to be in that area of my house without my permission. Going in your bedroom and looking through your stuff? I would be beating their down right now screaming my head off.
Finally, I don't the lady bic upstream thing.
1. His parents are VERY OPEN (mainly his mother) about their super active sex life. ::pausing to recover from severe dry heaving::
2. IKR?!
3. He asked me if I wanted him to call them out on it... but to be honest, I just want to pretend like it never happened. His mom was constantly in our room while they were there... She would walk in while I was getting dressed to ask if she could use my mirror (because apparently the other two bathrooms are not adequate). She has no idea this behavior is weird.
The lady bic upstream thing is a reference to them making me want to slit my wrists (not really, obviously)... You are supposed to go "upstream" instead of "across the river." I'm a touch over-dramatic.
I think the rule about not hugging students is stupid. I had a student today who was really touched that I nominated him for an "awesome eagle" award and he gave me this awkward "Christian side-hug" thing. Granted, I'm probably a Typhoid Mary right now and wasn't feeling great, so I didn't want him to hug me because I didn't want him to catch my plague (we were at contest, otherwise I would have been even farther away!), but I felt bad that a student who has no mom and a deadbeat dad and is still a really sweet kid can't get a much-needed and deserved hug without people thinking I'm a pedophile or creeper of some sort.
That was very long-winded. Sorry. My name is fuzzylogic and I have hugged students before.
1. Jamie: Holy crap girl. I get weirded out with ANYONE in my bedroom that isn't me, DH, or the dog. I don't know why, but it just bugs me... thus why I generally avoid people's bedrooms as well. But to find the KY missing... umm... awkward and deserving of another
.
2. My UO: When I quit my job someday (soon I hope!), I have absolutely no intention of giving a 2-week notice.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
I'm done driving across the country. Driving 21 hours one way to get to NC = insane. Driving there on Sunday and driving back yesterday = even more insane. I'm grateful JJ was fabulous in the car, but holy crap man. That trip is too damn long.
I hated March. I'm so glad it's over. March was the worst month since I lost my FIL, two HS friends and my uncle during four weeks in 2007. I didn't even really enjoy my birthday because the month was so stressful.
Ha! I would've bought coupons and given a donation!
