anyone have any FFFCs?
Just trying to pick it up a bit.
Mine: I have gained like 20 pounds since getting pregnant already and I still have 15 weeks to go. Oops. I need to stop eating ice cream and/or popsicles every day. But I can't help it. Its hot, and they are so good.
I get irrationally annoyed at FB friends who like every single photo, status, or link their friends post. Come on. You can't like everything. There is one older lady in particular who will like statuses such as "Bad news, found out my husband will be getting laid off and things are going to be tight for a while." You can't like that.
Re: anyone have any FFFCs?
I really wish my husband would go away for a weekend. Or just overnight. And take our daughter with him. Not that I don't love them dearly, but someone posted on another board about her husband being gone overnight and how she was going to spend the time watching chick flicks, painting her nails and eating sushi. I wanna do that! I could, of course, even with DH and DD home, but it's not the same. I'd love to have the house to myself for a night or two.
I am so with you.
I got invited to a brunch w/o DD a few days ago, but didn't tell DH about it until today. He's going to a Happy Hour tonight w/o me or DD - so I think this will even us out. I know he'll be annoyed that it takes away from reno time, but I think he's being overly anxious about it too.
If I see one more picture post on FB showing the temperature in the persons car, I might start stabbing people. I get it, we all get it, it's hot as shiit outside. I don't need to see 15 pictures all showing 105-107 in order to know that it's hot out. Guess that's more of a rant than a confession...
My mom has been bugging me since February to come see their new house in Myrtle Beach and I have zero desire to do so. I know it will be a week of talking about said house, down to paint colors, and I just don't care. She has asked me to drive down with my dad, offered to fly me down, but I just don't want to. Plus, getting DH set up with the dogs and the foster dogs is too much. It's work getting there too, that's such a long drive and a PITA to fly for such a short flight. I told her we're going to DH's parents beach place for a week in Aug and I could tell she was hurt but OC is 3 hours, much easier to do. I feel bad, we talk much less than we used to, I rarely see her now, we used to be SO close but I get so annoyed when we talk now and I have no idea why
omg I am so with you on the car temp thing. I'm kind of tempted to do it to be an obnoxious brat but most people won't get it I don't think. But yeah, it's hot.
Sorry that there is tension/stress with the beach house scenario. I agree, OC is much closer than Myrtle Beach (obviously) and so much easier, even for a week!
MrsNDM - Ditto the car temp thing. Also the feet in the sand thing is really old.
MrsRemy - I'm the same way with the ice cream and I'm not even pg. I bought a bunch of yummy ice cream things like the Twix bars and Choco Taco's the other day "because they were on sale." Right.
The only real confession I can think of is I want to adopt a second dog soooooooooo bad. Like as bad as most people my age want kids. I wish this darn house buying process would hurry the heck up so we could adopt one.
Vent: I was supposed to be off on Monday but now have to go to a meeting to a meeting about something I am not a part of. It's right in the middle of the day so it screws up my whole day.
I'm in a similar situation with my Mom. Mainly because I'm an only child and I think it's been difficult for her not to have a say in my life anymore. Every time she comes over she always comments on something in a negative way between dishes in the sink, the time of day I do laundry, that the house isn't clean enough....all because I'm doing things MY way. I can only imagine how things will be when I have a child one day.
