Re: FFFC's anyone??
I am so judgmental of DH's friend's wife-- she posts 4-10 times a day on FB and it's either complaining about her current pregnancy, or that she misses her DH or she's sick... I can't block her for some reason!
Yesterday, she posted that she was letting her 2 1/2 year old watch Karate Kid after posting that this kid and his younger brother were beating each other up.
I didn't shave my legs today or change the sheets on my bed. I'm pretty sure you all know why too
I'm forcing myself to have self control lol.
Atta girl!
I walked in this morning, and one of my co-workers was dressed in a gorilla suit for no apparent reason. Not kidding. Bizzroland for sure.

OMG that is a riot...
OMG, Crystal! I can't believe you even took a pic. Is this person a nutcase or something?
Great confession, Amanda.
My only confession is work related and I hesitate to post it on a public forum, but it isn't that juicy.
OMG did you burst out laughing?
Ummm? I think I would have turned around and walked right out of the office.
I miss some of my ex's and think and dream about them way too much.

Crystal that is hysterical!
Amanda I love your confession.
Mine goes along the same lines as Jaime... I had a dream the other night about a guy friend (we never dated but the one and only time I cheated on my ex was with him). In my dream we were both in relationships with other people (not J and not his FI) and neither of us had children but we decided that we were meant to be together and the dream was all about us ending our current relationships so we could be together and at the end of the dream we were together and had the most amazing kiss.
Talk about a weird feeling when you wake up. I loved the dream. Then I felt instantly guilty and still do because I have been thinking about the dream alot. It was weird. I think part of it is because he was part of what helped me make the decision to break up with my ex and to let myself be happy. We haven't seen eachother in I think 6 years. We lived next door to eachother for 2 months in London and then he came up from ATL to visit a couple years later and I haven't seen him since. I think I miss him. Not in the way of my dream but just as my friend. We talk every month or so but I still miss talking more often.
First, Crystal that is very weird but I am very interested in why he was wearing it...
My confession....
I hate my real estate agent. Problem is, he is my BIL. He is not helpful at all in our house search but then he and my sister are the first to complain that we don't have a house yet, and that we are going to be living with my MIL for the rest of our lives. It's like, well you aren't helping us very much as our "real estate agent". I am tempted to just go out and find someone new to work with. It would totally piss him and my sister off, but I am to the point where I don't really care.
Craig and I have a date tonight, which I super excited about, but I have total anxiety about the fact my house is a total mess. I don't want the babysitter coming over tonight and thinking we live in a sty. I kind of want to cancel the date so that no one sees how dirty the house really is...
Ok so in the 5 minutes since I wrote my confession I have thought of nothing but T. And realized I completely forgot about a time that I saw him between those 2 I mentioned. I was in ATL with my parents and blew off my ex (we were already broken up but still talking) to see T for a couple hours.
ANother confession.... I'm sad J hasn't planned anything for my first mothers day. I know that he wants me to be able to do what I want to do but I would love for him to just take charge for once and plan a day for me. So we are going to try to go to a movie (though I doubt we will because of Brynn and he is worried about her in a theater) and he asked me if I want to go to breakfast because I have been begging him to take me for weeks. And I know I'm not going to get what I told him I wanted... a DQ cake with chocolate icecream and m&ms. I don't need it but I'm sad I probably won't have it. haha
I would find a new agent...My situation while not a family member most of the REA that I know I know through work and I wanted to keep my work life and my home life totally separate so I had to find an agent that I didn't know (thank god for friends recommendations) but I really had some agents "mad" that I didn't come to them and once I explained that I wanted to keep work and home separate the understood.
Explain to BIL and your sister that while you love them as family you think what is best for your relationship is to find another REA that isn't vested in the relationship you would rather keep your relationship with your sister and BIL intact through this process. hopefully they will understand!
Good luck Erin!
I get the thing about the exes, too. One I last saw when I ran into him at a restaurant when I was about 5 months pregnant. That was kind of weird. He also sort of offered me help finding a job in his company if finding a teaching job never worked out. I do still think of him on occasion, especially with recent news events because we broke up right after Sept 11th happened (long story). But in the end, I know that in 'real life' B is a much better match for me. I don't see anything wrong with thinking about the others once in a while - it's a part of who I was/am.
I'm worried that B will never want another kid, because it's hard. Even though he will be done with grad school and my job should give me more time to get lesson plans and grading done when I am at work and P is in daycare than I currently have. And I'm getting the baby fever pretty bad as of late.

OMG Amanda, you crack me up. I used to do the same thing when I started dating guys! It worked like a charm....then I got married and it's an everyday thing for me.
Andrew hates it!

This is us too...I don't think R will want another one because he can't imagine loving another child as much as he loves J...I am worried that i will have to trick him into baby number 2...I have always wanted 2 and we had always talked about 2 but now as we get further and further into 1 he is VERY hesitant about #2.
I worry about loving another, too, but I'll get over it! I think I want 2 or 3. We always said 2.

Confession #1: I bought a pair of skates for $123 and we really don't have the extra money laying around for that. I put it on my CC.
Confession #2: Speaking of ex's. I have always kept in contact over the years with this one guy I've known since I was 20...before Suri, before getting married to V, etc. He has always chased me. I have always been hesitant. I mean he doesn't go over the line when I am married but when I was single he chased me. I still talk to him on occasion and I wonder what it would be like had I chose him. Right now he's about to be promoted to an E8 in the Marines which is the 2nd to highest enlisted rank you can have in the military (not an officer). He's only about 3 years older than me and just about 4 years away from retirement. Retirement at 38....I could have had that if I'd stayed in too. That's depressing. Well, anyway back to my confession. He has all the drive and ambition that Andrew does not have and that I crave in my SO. I won't leave Andrew for this guy. No way...not for that but still I wonder *what if* I'd made the choice of being with P instead back before I met Andrew.
I had a 3rd but can't remember.

I have one!
You know I never got my ornament when we did the secret elf thing this past December? NEVER. It makes me not want to participate in these b/c I get the short end of the stick. If you are going to take the time to participate, then DO IT. If you are too busy, then don't. I am lerry when all of a sudden some gals who have not posted in months, let alone a year decide to participate??! I say no. Be a little more active on the board or re-introduce yourself. I know we all have busy lives but I put alot of thought into my elf's ornament, you should do the same.
/vent, rant, etc.
BTW-Alicia it is not your fault. You did what you could to follow up and my elf never followed through. Even through the crappy weather and storms this past holiday season.
I am on the fence about having another baby (yes, i know the twins aren't here yet). I always wanted 3-4, but I don't know if we can afford it or if I want to get pregnant.
On a similar note, I'm kind of bitter today. Bitter TTC sucked, bitter getting pregnant ceased to be exciting after two miscarriages, bitter the first tri sucked so much (and i wasn't the one sick, though i know its good C wasn't *sick*), and bitter that we've done so much "right" but still are in the position of losing a ton selling the house, etc etc. Ugh. I'm also pissy I'm playing with the crappy team this weekend and this ismy second to last game, so I am not in a good mindset to begin with. I need to get over it though in the next 20 hours.
fwiw, I am happy in general and thrilled and lucky we're having babies and that so far the pregnancy has been healthy and uneventful, and I'm glad we've living together again. i just want to nest dammit and i can't with our "weekend" home & attic. Sigh.
