Monday Confessions
C'mon, let's have 'em.
MIL wanted me to bring Gabby over this morning so she could spend the day over there, giving me a "break" and then J and I would go over for dinner tonight and pick Gabby up then. When MIL called at 11:30 to ask where I was, I lied and said that a) I had slept in, and so had the girls, and b) Gabby was cranky from teething and was going down for a nap soon so bringing her over was pointless. None of this is remotely true. But I am too lazy to pack up the kids just to drive Gabby over for a few hours. It's easier to stay home... packing up the kids and driving out and wasting gas does not give me a break. Staying home and working out while they do nap, baking, and just being a lazy sonofabitch - that's my break. But no one seems to understand this. *sigh* I don't feel bad about lying one bit either.
I didn't get gifts for MIL or my mom for mother's day. I never finished a wreath I was making my mom. And this morning when I attempted to make a stepping stone with Gabby's and Genna's footprints to give MIL, I failed miserably so I just effin give up. No gifts for anyone this year. Screw it all. I didn't even get ANYTHING. W..T...F!
Re: Monday Confessions
aww steph, i TOTALLY get that. sometimes getting out of the house is the hardest part. no worries...i wouldnt want to do that either!
my confession...there was a point yesterday where i kind of got fed up with the whole day being about my husband. we have talked about him and school and all of that since we met and there was a point where i just sat back and thought, "i get 2 days a year (my day and mothers day) and of course the graduation had to fall on one of them.
i'm not usually a ME ME ME person....but mothers day is so specifically for MOTHERS and the day was not about me at all. i think even my dad forgot it was mothers day and didnt get me a card. he made breakfast for my husband (complete with 4 diff types of bacon...which i dont even eat). i cooked for the moms for after graduation.
so...i dunno. just a bit of a pity party for me.
Was that the crafts project that failed? I suck at arts and crafts as well. I totally understand not wanting to go out. It is more work sometimes than just hanging out at home.
i feel like this sometimes when i go get Bennett from the sister's house. he would kick and scream and i'd have to say "let's go see Daddy!" and he's smile and get excited. maybe it's little boys and the bond they have wiht their dads. also, i know that Bennett definitely spends more time with me....so it may be that daddy is fun right now, and mommy...not so much.
On a whim, I emailed someone my resume yesterday since I heard that the company was opening a new office in my city. Today, one of my old bosses calls me out of the blue offering to help me with whatever I needed. When I told him about this job, he said he would call the guy on my behalf since he knows him.
I didn't think anything would happen but the guy I sent my resume to emailed me back a few minutes ago. He said he will call me some time this week for a phone interview since he is out of town. He will be here next week and also wants to schedule an in-person interview then.
I am super anxious about this but think I will see how the phone interview goes before I decide whether I need to bring up the fact that I'm due in July or not. Secretly, I am hoping that the guy will ask for my availability first and I can feel better about revealing my pg from there. I'm a mess, I know.Booo!!
My group of friends from work are all going to Hershey Park May 26th. Originally we were going to get our H's to go with us. When I invited my H he said that it wasn't a good idea for us to go. I asked him why and he said "We dont want to be the fat couple who can't get on the roller coasters".
I decided that I am going with or with out him. Then I later found out that none of the other H's are going so thats ok.
The thing is now I'm terrified I wont be abel to ride the rides.
You would have thought this would have been the motivation I need to get my fat arse back on a diet, but :sigh: I haven't. I've been googling "too fat to ride roller coasters" to see if my H is right.
My boss's husband is driving me crazy. He is the one that gets migranes bad. She's currently out of the country and he's had a migraine for 5 days which means I've done all of his work.
I feel guilty b/c if he had cancer or something I'd never be annoyed with him for being out, but since it's "just" a migraine it's annoying me. Not rational, I know, but I'm peeved.
If he made more of an effort on the days he wasn't sick maybe I'd have more sympathy on the days he is out sick.
This would actually annoy me too. I'd totally ask for it back so I could scan it and email it to her and get the real one back.
I'm not sure whether this is good news or bad news. H and I went to Six Flags, and he wasn't able to ride the Batman ride. That ride had the things that come over your shoulders and you have to buckle them in at your crotch. His chest was too big, and wasn't able to get them buckled. With my big boobs I was barely able to get it done up. The rest of the rides we were fine. He weighed about 280ish at the time.
So, honestly I'd say it depends on the ride. If it is just a lap thing you "should" be fine, but of course I can't make any promises. Plus, I don't really know how big you are.
My Profile
I feel fat, okay let me re-phrase that I AM FAT and we have a wedding on saturday to go to.. I HAVE NOTHING to wear to it and refuse to purchase something for it because i really need to get some new things when Carson comes and the chances of me wearing a dress when i feel like a moo moo is pointless.. UGH
do you think it would take away from the bride if i showed up in sweats or better yet naked:) bahahah
