FFFC!
Let's hear 'em!
Re: FFFC!
- Yesterday I was mad at Guy because he and his best friend were berating me on FB and I told his friend to "fvck off" and Guy told me I was mean. So I was mad that Guy took his friend's side.
- I've been using a calorie counter in an effort to watch what I eat. I knew from the start that this probably wasn't the best thing for me because of my past issues with disordered eating, but I did it anyway. And sure enough, all it makes me want to do is cut back more. I need to quit. But, I haven't quit yet.
- I've wanted a snow cone all week. Every time I go to the stand it's either closed or there's a hella long line. I want a snow cone, dammit! (I guess this was more of a vent than a confession.)
I'm more okay with my husband's excessive spending and abhorrent behavior on his friends' bachelor party last weekend because he bought me an ipad.
It just didn't seem fair he'd spend thousands of dollars on that and buy me something for my bday that cost less than $100.
I agreed to babysitting on the night of my birthday because Kirk isn't a dad this father's day and he feels left out now that his brother has a kid/ because he has baby rabies.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Bahahahaha!
I don't blame you about the ipad thing, really. If he can go galavanting around, he can buy you something nice!
I just thought of another one.
Guy's balls are healed, and he wants to have sex very badly, even though the doctor said we shoudl wait two weeks. He asks multiple times a day and even tries to get me to give in by grabbing my butt, kissing me, etc.
I keep turning him down. Not because the doctor said not to, though. It's because I've been having a really long, really bad period and I don't feel like it. (we normally don't have issues with having sex during my period.) But I feel gross, and I don't want to! He's just going to have to wait until it stops.
Um, no. I always clean it up. And Grace's vomit is foul.

Hilarious! Jay totally has this too; at this point all of our married, closest friends all have babies under 6 months of age and they are all celebrating Father's Day. I'm going to tell him he has baby rabies...and maybe make him dresss like racoon for emphasis.
In conjunction with that, my confession: all of the babies have had the exact opposite effect on me that they've had on Jay. I don't even want to look at Jay's peen out of fear I will get pregnant at this point because all of my friends are relatively miserable. No one I know enjoyed their pregnancies, they're all tired and cranky and sleep deprived, and all I can think is that sitting around drinking beers and sleeping in late sounds way better than all of that!
Also, between my parent's being in for extended periods of time, our off schedules, my period and some general unfortunateness in our lived we have not had sex since March...MARCH!!!!! I'm so erotically charged I could burst!
double post, sorry!
OMG no. I would die. DIE.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Trust me I'm on the verge. There comes a point where taking care of things on your own no longer has any effect whatsoever...that point was last week
Ugh... that was the worst batch of FFFCs ever... i was like, why are we all talking about this?! And so many people agreed with her too. I was like... wow guys, gross. I was totally waving my JA flag when I saw what you posted.
I just ate a reeses and a whole box (the movie theatre/dollar store size) of sweet tarts within 2 hours when there is a perfectly good watermelon, grapes, strawberries and bananas in my kitchen.... I might move on to those next though...
There was a thread on WC this afternoon about everyone's horrible SILs so I posted about mine and it has me all fired up with hatred and annoyance, lol.
Every time I see one of those stupid letters from my MIL to my husband, I want to tear it to shreds. It's not that she writes him all the time, it's that I'm never included. She said she'd started adding in the puzzles from the paper for me when she sends him the comics (all individually cut from each day's paper) but she doesn't. Care packages are only addressed to him. Holiday cards are to "Mr and Mrs". She sent a card and a $20 for my birthday this year, last year it was my age in dollars plus some yarn, before that it was always $50 gift cards. She sends a huge box of goodies to her son, couldn't she even bake me some cookies or something? I'm really feeling the IL apathy.
I want to go slap some sense into my grandma. Her husband has advanced Alzheimer's, actually set fire to the lawn mower last week (how does one even do that?!), and she refuses to consider putting him in a home. This isn't the first time he's started a fire, but before it was always kitchen fires from forgetting he had bacon frying and going outside. Grease fires are probably worse, but the fact that he's found a new way makes me nervous. I don't know if she's waiting for the house to burn down before they put him somewhere or what.
ew that's really gross! How lazy ARE these people?!?
that sounds like my friend's H. He wanted a dog, she really really didn't, but finally gave in because she couldn't take his pestering anymore. She's a SAHM so their deal was she works on caring for and housetraining the puppy during the day and he does it at night. They're both getting to know the dog's position or whatever when it looks like he's about to go so they can jump in and get him outside.
Well one day he comes home so she says, great, watch the baby and the puppy so I can shower. When she comes back downstairs, she's like, what's that smell?? And her H is "busy" playing video games and says, oh the dog has gas. Then she sees a huge poop in the corner and her H is like, "oh gross, well clean that up, I'm busy playing." WTF! And it's HIS dog, the one he HAD to have, the one she didn't want. Then another time she tells me she told her H they need to go to puppy training and he's like, no no we can't afford it, let's wait a couple years to save up. What's the point when the dog's stuck in his disobedient ways after 2 years?! And he refuses to fence in their backyard because it's too expensive. btw, they paid $1200 for the dog and another $1000 for the trip to go get the dog (in Indiana). Yes it's an expensive dog, but if you spend that much money on it I'd think you would want your dog to be safe and happy at your house! I really hate this guy, all her stories are like this and I have no idea how she can stand to stay with him!
