Tell me something REAL
I saw this on another board so I thought maybe I'd try it here.
Tell me something REAL. It can be anything as long as its REAL and honest. It can be a vent, a confession, or a secret. It can be something you're insecure about, something you're worried about. It can be an something you're proud of, or something you believe strongly in, or just a profound thought or something that's been on your mind lately.

Re: Tell me something REAL
Ok, not earth shattering, but....
I took a new position at work about 2 months ago, new boss, but same director (so the director is my second line boss). I don't think my boss likes me at all and is envious that I get so much face time with our director. This isn't my fault at all, my boss works in VA and I mainly work 3 blocks away from our HQ (which is where the director is) and still have a desk here so I'm back here for an hour or so 2 to 3 times a week, which is when I run into our director. I have been tasked and asked to do certain things by the director and my boss is doing everything in his power to keep me under his thumb. There are so many little examples that I wont go into, but I feel totally torn. My boss has told me that everything needs to go through him, but there are certain things our director (who obviously overrides my boss) has asked me to email directly to him. So I do, but I also send to my boss because he needs to know, and then my boss gives me crap about it even though I've explained "I'm just doing what the director has asked me to do." It's souring this amazing opportunity and position.
Oh and DH came up and told me the Keurig was broken this morning (turns out it wasn't) and I freaked a little....even though I know I can buy coffee just about anywhere. I love my Keurig
Just so you know in the future, if your Keurig does break, just call them and they will either replace the part or send you an new machine, free of charge. This happened to my coworker and she got a brand new machine.
Here i'll go
I'm worried about some major changes that will be happening in my life over the next few months. Change isn't easy for me.
As I said the other day, I just love my friends.
I waiver on the thought of having another child, I do but I don't, I do but I don't.
Reading pregnant/baby related things sometimes make me crazy because I truly wonder sometimes what goes on in peoples head...thank you bump! LOL
Oh my gosh, TY, this will save my sanity one day.
It's true, it's true. I returned my first one to BBB and they gave me a new one. That one broke and I called Keurig and they sent me a new one. The machines are nothing to them, they want you to be happy with a working machine because then you keep buying the cups
I REALLY want more flexibility in work, i.e. work part time, work 80% work from home, summers off, etc. However, it is NEVER going to happen where I work.
I worry about having a 2nd kid. We're not sure either way, but we know that we'll have to find a different daycare. We love our daycare, but could probably not afford 2 kids there.
Every time I drive by the hospital where DS was born, or see pics of a friend and their new baby at that same hospital, or even hear conversation about it, I have this intense feeling of longing like I want to go back to those first few days in the hospital with DS.
After a series of frustrating setbacks trying to get out the door and to daycare the other day, I was forced to take a detour while driving and I swore *really* loudly in the car. And then I saw DS in the rearview looking surprised and I had forgotten for a second that he was there and I felt horrible and cried.
DH and I have never had a fight where we've raised our voices at each other. There have been a couple times where I was mad at him and snapped something at him, then didn't talk to him for a little while. But those things usually just blow over. I can't even recall any time when he was mad at me (that I am aware of anyway). I sometimes worry that we don't fight *enough*.
I think I would like to have 3 kids but I don't think DH is onboard for that. And, stupidly, I keep wondering how we would fit 3 carseats in our cars at the same time.

This is agood point!! My Keurig has issues where it will sometimes not suck in the water, or it will randomly just turn itself off during the "getting ready" process, or sometimes it doesn't dispense enough water into the cup. But all these problems are so intermittent, that I'm not sure it's worth getting a new one.

I love my new doctor and I like how they are keeping a close eye on me this pregnancy, but I'm a nervous wreck. And I know stress is not good for me or the baby. But after dealing with the insurance company and the drug company yesterday and finding out that they won't cover the 17p shot, I slightly flipped out. But my doctor called this morning and reassured me that they found the shot and I'll only have the pay a fraction of the cost. I just want this baby to born full term and healthy.
My boss has been so flexible with my time and I'm really grateful.
Mine are BR. (SIA)
I am terrified about having a baby. I am scared at how much our lives will change. I know it will all be worth it but obviously it will be hard. I don't want to regret making the decision to start TTC over a year ago. I also don't want DH to regret it or resent our daughter.
I am worried because we (like Remy) don't have her room nearly done. We need to clean it, paint, decorate, etc. Ugg. And we don't have a lot of time left. And when I do have time after work I don't have the energy or motivation to start in on something on my own.
Normal fears, normal fears! I think most people worry was it the right decision especially as you get closer. You won't regret it, you won't resent her...you will be enamored and the most in love you've ever been. I can confidently say that!
Ummm we won't discuss room LOL. Mine wasn't done for a long time after dd was born. It didn't help I had her early, but I can assure you I wouldn't have been ready regardless.
They don't know and won't judge you. I can also confidently say that hehe.
Somehow it will get done in time! We didn't start cleaning out DS's room until I was 30 weeks. We got it finished when I was 38 weeks. It'll happen

Even though I'm dying for a 2nd baby, I'm worried that we won't have enough energy to care for 2 kids and both work FT and I'm the primary breadwinner now, so there's no way we could afford for me not to work (and I don't want to be home FT anyway). I keep dickingaround (LOL) w/ TTC and keep flaking out. DH is annoyed w/ me b/c I'm not really expressing these fears to him, b/c mostly I'm worried about how much energy he has and if I can make up for his lack of it.
also - I haven't showered in 2 days and I really don't care.

I'm exhausted lately. Does that count? I think i'm coming down with something bc I've just been wiped out this week. and I hate being sick.
I want more details about this
Someone's getting a little brother!
I can't WAIT until DH gets up and running with work and we're finally in a position to get me the hell out of dodge. And I really wouldn't mind 6 months to a year at home to figure out what in the world it is that I really want to do with myself. Because partnership ain't it.
Then again I don't know if it's even remotely realistic to think I'll find a job making even half my current salary that's a real quality of life improvement. Yeah - I worked until 3:30 this morning...but I did it from home like I do every other Tuesday and Friday. Would an in office 9-6:30 situation be any better?
So I'm sort of hoping that I can ride out another pregnancy or two here, busting my butt but with insane maternity benefits yada yada, until DH is bringing home the dough and I can, ya know, semi- retire as a freelance writer with a cute little tchotchke shop on the side.

I have no idea what the back story is here obviously, or if SIL deserves it - but I find this weirdly refreshing.
And ditto - LiveLossHopedamnitIforgethowitgoesnow - spill details por favor?

I agree, I liked this comment too because it sounds very honest
I can say the same thing about my cousin's B of a soon-to-be ex-wife!

Remy, DS's room was done two days after he arrived home from the hospital. We still need to move DH's clothes into the walk-in closet and each kids clothes into their perspective closets. Still a work in progress...
SK, I could totally relate to your posts about wanting to be back at the hospital (I love the newborn phase and I get sad when they start growing) and the possibility of 3 kids. I would really like 3 but DH is set on just 2. I see the advantages of 2 kids but I'm sad to think everything I experience with DS will be the "last time" it happens.
I feel tremendous anxiety if I don't take advantage of my down-time when the kiddos are asleep to do things around the house or stuff on my to-do list. I know I need to give myself a break here. But I'm prone to just veg on the couch or surf the net.
