Flame-Free Friday Confessions.....who has some?
Re: FFFC
I am with Kbaby about how crowded it gets and admit that DH and I started skipping Easter and Christmas church because we go all the other Sundays of the year.
I also secretly hope that BIL/FSIL don't get the approval from the court to move into DH's dad's house. It is more than 100 miles from FSIL's ex and she has to have the courts permission to move that far with the kids. I don't want them to be able to rent the house from DH because they suck at paying bills and I think that DH will get screwed with rent money and won't have the balls to kick them out if they don't pay! We offered to sell it to them and BIL would only have to get a mortgage for about $7,000 but I am not so sure he can even qualify for a mortgage or is even motivated enough to try!
I want to take a dessert to my grandmas for Easter even though my Uncle is bringing 3 things. He is thawing out a couple of store bought cheesecakes and making a pumpkin pie because my grandma has pumpkin that needs to be used. Pumpkin pie is my favorite but I don't think you should have it for Easter! I can't decide if I should just take mine anyway. I will feel bad if everyone eats my dessert instead of his.
And I want to smack 2 of my co-workers. One is a constant hummer/chatterer and it's getting on my nerves today and the other one is humming because she thinks it will make the other one stop!
Haha, this made me laugh.
) I've thought about doing the same thing when I know someone is bringing a dessert that I don't like!
I get so sick of hockey and planning life around the two hockey leagues my DH plays in.
I hate that our best friends have to both be home to put their 2.5 year old to bed every time. Therefore I cannot go out late with her and my DH can never plan anything with him because they insist on both being home to put her to bed. Come on I get that it is a 'special' time but does one night here and there really matter?
Mine are going to be absurd confessions that have to do with my stay in the hospital, but whatever.
I didn't shower the entire time I was there, and still haven't because I don't want to pass out in the shower. So yeah, we're talking since Monday here people. Don't judge.
Yesterday was the first day I'd brushed my teeth in days too.
In general, I'm just a hot mess.
But, a hot mess that's home!
We are all glad you are back!
ATTN people at work...there is a sidewalk for you to walk on, maybe try to use that instead of walking in the damn street! Gosh the walkers and bike people drive me nuts!
And I admit, the doctors cold hands felt good on my swollen bewb!
And another work one...my new desk has my back to people and now I have random CW that just walk up behind me. I will nut tap the next guy to do this. I warn people when I am coming up behind them.
Aww.. Thanks Heather.
I somewhat agree with this, but there are certain comments that are not directed in a considerate way. If someone says, Wow, your bump is so huge! Great, thanks! I love my bump! That is one thing, but if they say, wow, you are so huge or you have gotten so much bigger or looks like you are putting on weight or when they look at your ass and tell you it looks like you are carrying wide, you must be having a girl, I don't know how you cannot take it personally. And yes, people actually do say things like that to pregnant people. This is coming from someone who got two inappropriate comments about my weight and wow, you are big from ILs at her shower and I have only gained maybe 8-10 pounds so far.
Sorry, I know this is flame free, but it is a sensitive subject and telling someone not to take someone criticizing how they look personally completely unsolicited is going to strike a nerve regardless if you are pregnant or not.
Lori - I had an apt yesterday too - one of the doctors is on vacation this week and everyone is behind it seems. Who did you end up seeing?
OMG I was so mad! I was supposed to see Corsi because I've been rotating and haven't seen him in a long time. He got stuck in surgery so I saw Robins. I just saw him last time too. It was the longest wait ever! I waited in the waiting room forever, then they finally took me back and I was thinking ok, won't be long. Nope, then I waiting in the room forever! I was getting so antsy I read an entire people magazine in the room!
I saw Robins once during rotation and I don't know if I just caught him on a bad day or what but I didn't really like him. He was the only one out of all five I was hoping wouldn't be on call when it was time to have Dayne. He ran over an hour late for my appointment and didn't apologize! My sister said he was like that with her as well.
Who did you see for your follow up? Everything looking good?!
Yeah, I've seen all the others once so far, this was my second time seeing Robins. Last time he was very blunt and to the point and just gave us a canned spiel. He did the same thing today and rushed in and out of the room so fast I could barely even ask anything. I figured I would rather ask Corsi the few questions I have anyway so whatever.
He and Jewell are my least favorite. Jewell just made me feel like I was asking dumb questions they way he reacted. I don't know, maybe it was an off day for him.
I love Corsi, K, and Helmick. I hope for Corsi but at least hope it's one of those three.
Dr Helmick did my follow up - she gave me the all clear so hopefully I can start to lose this weight soon. I still have a jiggly belly and my thighs are bigger than I wish. I can't fit into my pre pregnancy stuff yet - still in maternity - and it's too big! Horrible limbo stage.
I had Jewell a few times and thought he was funny in a dry sense of humor way. I agree, Corsi, K and Helmick are my favorites there.
This has happened to me once or twice in the last 5 months, for such a short appt it is incredibly annoying. I hate taking time off of work to sit in a waiting room tapping my foot then being seen for 2-3 minutes.
OMG, I would die!!! I am so easily annoyed by things like that.
I confess it drives me crazy the way DH acts in church. I know today was an extra-long service and he had lots to do. I really appreciate him coming with me since I know it's not something he'd do on his own. But for heaves sake - you're an adult, learn to sit still for a couple of hours!!! He's like a child with all his bouncing and fidgeting.
i confess that i have some confessions that i haven't been posting because i know they might offend someone and that's not what i'm going for.
i confess that i spent a decent amount on clothes this month (for me and husband) and i actually thought today how to fudge the numbers was because my husband almost never shops and has no idea how much clothes cost and i don't want to hear about how i spent too much money.
i confess that last sentence is a run on and i don't care to take the time to fix it.
