Re: FFFC

  • This is going to be so lame and cliche' but....I am gaining too much weight and I don't give two sh!ts.  My doctor is not concerned at all, plus I know I can get it off later on.  This is my last time ever being pregnant so I am going to enjoy it, damnit!  lol
  • I've spent $100+ on Scrabbooking stuff for Little Man's Baby album, but haven't bought the album yet and don't plan to any time soon.

    I've also bought stuff for a Cricut (die cut system) I recently bought and haven't told H about it... OOPS. Honestly I don't care if he knows b/c I would just compare it to the money he has recently spent on video game crap and we'd be even.

  • My company is closed on Monday - and I'm glad DH has to work because I get so much more done when he's not around.

  • This isn't really a confession, more like a complaint/vent.  Why do people seem to assume, now that I'm married, that I'm home all day and my husband makes all the money?  I've come across this a lot lately.  All the plumbers I've been talking to, the roofers, they shake H's hand and then wave at me like I'm his kid. Today the tree trimmers kind of we like "so you're usually home all day?".  The instructor in the bike club seemed like he thought if I wanted a new bike I had to talk my H into it.  I want to shout "Dude!  I work!  Alot."   I know noones trying to be rude or disrespectful, most likely just the opposite.  But for reals, I seriously do all the money handling in the HH and I want a handshake too, dammit.

  • I'm feeling a little guilty about the fact that we are now scheduling DD's birthday party for two weeks after her birthday because I waited too long to make reservations for the party.

    Also, DH has been gone all week and I wish I could say I've done a good job of feeding the kids nutritious food and keeping the house clean, but that'd be a lie.  Mac 'n Cheese twice in one week isn't bad, right?  It was Annie's Naturals so doesn't that make it healthy?  I did give myself a huge pat on the back for managing to remember to take the trash to the curb on trash day since that's usually MH's job.

  • After taking 2 months off of the sauce, I'm back on a pot of coffee a day :/

  • I am in my last quarter of this medical transcription program. I have been busting my a$$ since June. I havent told anyone this, but I HATE it. Mostly because I started the program because H wanted me to stay home with P and find a way to work plus I wanted to bring in money since we, for reasons I didnt understand then, couldnt make ends meet financially. Come to find out we couldnt make ends meet cause he was sneaking $300 a week out of the account for drugs.

    Anyways I feel like I am living his dream. Doing what he wanted me to do. Dont get me wrong I love being home with P but I need a real job out of the house with real adult conversations.

    I am finding myself putting off all my schoolwork to the very last second, fighting the deadline, because I have zero interest in it.  Hopefully I can mentally get myself out of this rut because this is my only option right now, I need to make it work, get a job in the field and get the hell out of my parents house.

  • I plan on having many drinks and potentially making some questionable decisions this weekend.  If I'm not here Monday, send bail money.

  • It really bugs me and I have to hold myself back from saying anything to my friend. She posted a pic on FB of her barely 2-week old daughter sleeping in her crib with a blanket, and a bumper, and toys and a pillow. Seriously, the crib looked crowded with too much stuff. But I don't wanna be THAT parent.

  • I had a glass of wine spilled on me & all over work pants I JUST washed the day before and told the person it was ok..but really I was ticked off.

  • Luckily, at 2 weeks, they aren't moving around too much.  And maybe it's just a set up for the photo?  IDK.  I would still say something, but I'm a btch like that.

  • I haven't washed my hair since Friday. I've been rocking this style for the past 3 days and it looks fine plus I'm too lazy to wash it.

    http://www.lovemaegan.com/2011/04/pretty-side-french-braid-low-updo-hair.html

    I'm going to stop into the salon today and ask my BFF to wash and blow it out for me just so I can avoid doing it myself.  I'm that lazy.

  • I have one vent/complaint and one FFFC.....

    My vent is I don't think the Clomid I am taking is working :(  I am on CD 17, and while I know it's still relatively early in my cycle I am beginning to lose hope that I will O anytime soon.  I am already preparing myself for a BFN.  

    My FFFC is, my birthday is Sunday but tonight we are going over to our friends house for a birthday celebration, which they insisted on throwing.  I really hope this doesn't make me come off as a brat, but I am not really looking forward to it.  While, I think it's a VERY nice to have friends who care (and I totally appreciate that) I always feel REALLY uncomfortable when all the attention is on me.  Like, I either want to cry, hide my face or run out of the room in embarrassment when people sing me Happy Birthday.  And I really hope nobody bought me a gift, like they do every year.  I really stressed no gifts because again, I hate all the attention being on me.  Plus I never really know how to react because I always feel awkward.  And then I worry that my thank you wasn't all they were expected to get.  Does this even make sense?  Ha.  I think something is wrong with me!

  • My siggy says Max is 2, well he is 3, so I am a little behind w/ updating my siggy.. but I also dont even have his birth certificate (the hospital I had him does not give you one, you have to order) I am not sure when I will do either of these this.

  • I had a phone/screening interview this morning.  Of course during the time-slot I was supposed to do the call the lawn guys were mowing and the dog was half whining/half barking at them - so I shut myself in my walk-in closet to muffle some of the noise.  I'm so glad the HR person couldn't see me - surrounded by shoes, clothes, and unpacked boxes!

  • No one in the office ever wears jeans to work on Fridays. I however used to every once in a while before I got pregnant. Now I am wearing them every Friday and I dont really care.

    We have friends coming in town this weekend and they will be staying with us on Saturday night, the girl is a huge germaphobe so I would rather they dont stay with us. I know that sounds mean but even though our house is always spotless and clean I still feel like she thinks its not clean enough.

    My 30th birthday is on Friday next week and I have no clue what I want. I want presents that I can look back in 10 years and remember I got that specific item for my 30th birthday. So jewelry would always be a nice gesture. haha

    Don't lose home.  I'm still pulling for you!

    As far as your birthday goes.  I understand.  Mine was Tuesday and I didn't say anything to anyone.  Ever since I was a little girl I have had bad birthdays.  I wind up depressed and crying all day.  Last year didn't help either.  I was surprised how many people remembered my birthday and it was nice to see how really cared.  DH is even going all out this year for me and taking me out to dinner and making sure I get my new glasses that I want.

    FFFC: I don't feel like working.  I didn't do much on Tuesday and I was off on Wednesday.  I have reports I have to work on and need to get one done by this afternoon and the other by Monday afternoon.  I need to work on the one due Monday today because if I don't then Monday will be to crazy to fit it in.

  • Sometimes I secretly wish I can't BF anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love that it has gone so well for us both and that it hasn't been that hard. I know some women really struggle with it. The benefits for Zoe and I are so worth it, but sometimes I just don't want to do it. I want to be able to sleep longer and I don't want to have to worry about bf in public or in front of people in my home. I feel really guilty even thinking this!

    Aw, you are exactly one week older than me!  Do you guys have any plans for your birthday or is your husband surprising you?

    ETA: I hope that doesn't sound bad.  I should have said "Our birthdays are one week apart."

    That doesnt sound bad at all. :) Getting older is inevitable and I will always be one week older than someone. It gets to be you.

    We are ordering pizzas at my parents house and having around 18 people over who are family and friends. DH isnt suprising me that I know of. He better get me a good gift though its my last birthday before I am mom. Flame me if you want. haha

    Words of wisdom from you older, more mature friend - go out and buy yourself a Miley Cyrus shirt :P

    observation - does using the words "mature" and "Miley Cyrus" in the same sentence cancel each other out?!

    And Happy early Birthday to you as well!  Enjoy your last few days of your 20's!

    My philosophy has always been to embrace getting older but the alternative isn't so attractive.

    That sounds like a fun get together.  No flames about wanting a good gift from me.  Is your husband good at picking out things you like?  Are you a hint dropper?  Do you have anything in particular in mind that you would like [Mr. LovetheSun, this is a good time to pop onto the Nest and see what your wife talks to her interwebz friends about  Wink)? 

    I literally told my husband that I wanted him to surprise me in a good way for my birthday.  It doesn't have to be a gift, but I want him to do something that shows that he put thought into it because I think of 30 as one of those major milestone birthdays.  It should actually be easy for him because my mom and two of my sisters independently decided to fly up for my birthday so it's a ready-made party.

    Alas, Wal-Mart is probably my least convenient shopping option location-wise; so no Miley shirts for me.  I did, however, get this cute dress at Target the other day which made me think of the Miley dress you posted:
