Friday Confessions

I'd say flame free...but we all know that never happens.

Re: Friday Confessions

  • I'm having Lucky Charms for breakfast.  It makes me feel like a kid.
  • I am thrilled that J loves sleeping in his own room now, but I miss the snuggling I used to get when he slept with me. 

     

  • I woke up feeling very antsy and unhappy this morning.  I am terminally bored with just about every aspect of my life.  Job, school, majority of my social life, where I live, my husband.  All of it.  Sometimes I'd love to pull an "Eat, Pray, Love" but, you know, way less pretentious and way more awesome. Sigh.

    Also, for breakfast I ate Apple Jacks, a chocolate pudding, a string cheese, goldfish crackers, and a couple of Oreos.  I might have a chubby 8 year old living inside of me...

  • I have to take salad to dinner tomorrow night at a friend's and I am irrationally stressed about it.  I never know what to bring for a salad...make it how I like it?  Make it how I think others like it?  Spend 10K bucks on salad toppings?  Ugh.  I so prefer to bring dessert or an appetizer or bread...or even the freaking main course.

     

  • I am going to resign later this month.  There is a long list of reasons why, but I'm terrified because at this point I don't have anything else lined up.  Last night we had the "things we'll have to cut" discussion at home.  I have never been so ready for a new year in my life.

    My mom gave me the Texas Salad recipe in this post.  I've made it for bunko and family stuff and there are never leftovers.

  • I am a bad sister in law.  My BIL called me Tuesday and left me a message that they found out the sex of their baby but he wouldn't tell me what unless I called him back.  Yeah, I didn't call him back.  It is hard to get really excited for them even though I love them and know they will be amazing parents, when I am still coming to terms that I basically can't have any more kids. 

    But he posted on FB the next day so I just congratulated them that way.

    What a big step!  Many hugs and I am thinking about you!

  • I am going to the river with DH's family this weekend, and I just want to be at home doing nothing!
  • I feel like my life is the game of Jenga and one false move the whole thing is going to come crashing down.

    Trying to figure out how I can have me time is stressing me out which kind of defeats the purpose of me time.

    Ditto. 

    Without dumping my entire life story right here, all I can say is ditto. It's so stressful.

    Right there with the others.  Hugs.  You deserve good things in your horizons.

  • Though I adore The Man's 18 yr old daughter, I can't help but be saddened by the fact that she's moving back in with her dad.  Just a month or two before his son moves out.  Why am I sad?  For selfish reasons mainly.  With her being there, he won't let me stay the night.  It's not been a big deal with his son being there (I guess because he's usually not home or at his mom's).  But with her there, it won't happen or it will VERY rare if it does.   Selfish, yeah....  

    may dd later.

  • I feel like I'm cheating everyone right now.  I have to rush home every day to spend time with C so I can't spend time with my kids at school.  I have to rush to school in the morning so I can't spend time with C.

     I love to work so it makes me sad. I like to spend time with her and it makes me sad. 

    I also already F'N HATE football season.  HATE IT.  DH has not been home till almost 8(or later every night).  I literally don't know how I'm going to work and take care of C all on my own.

  • L starts school in a month. And I should probably be a little ashamed at just how excited that makes me. But that's ~12 whole hours a week I'm going to get as me time... time I probably blow by cleaning. And doing laundry.

  • I am 5 minutes into today's AMC and I am ugly crying already.

    It's just a soap opera. It's just a soap opera. It's just a soap opera.

    C came home and was all "you are crying over your stories? this is what I miss every day while I am at work?"

    I tried to explain it to him, that it had been years...and I couldn't explain it without crying more and he just laughed at me...sigh.

    It was gooooood!

  • I wondered last night if it was easier to be a single mom and not deal with all the CRAP that is going on in my life or what. Sad I know...but there is WAY too much crap going on right now. 50 days and it might stop...might.

    Retail therapy at 8:45 in the evening with a 13 month old can be done. I did it, last night and dont regret one dime that I spent on ME!!!!! :)

  • Daycare was closed today so the kids are home with me.  C is napping and O has been sitting with the electronic babysitter for way too long.  I just don't have the energy to engage him in play right now.

  • I've been craving vodka sours, mojitos, and sangria for weeks now. I'm ready for this baby to make his debut.

  • rrr's uncle (his mom's sister's husband) died Tuesday night from a massive heart attack. I'm glad that we decided that we are better off just sending rrr up to Illinois for the funeral rather than spending nearly $3000 to fly all three of us up there tomorrow. As much as T would love seeing her grandpa, and as much as i'd like to be up there for their small family,  I just can't imagine spending over SIX HOURS at a visitation with a 2.5 year old and driving from airports, to rrr's dad's house, down several hours to southern Illinois, spending a night there, then back up to rrr's house and back to the airport in such a short period of time.
