Shall we liven this place up with confessions?

After I tortured one of our junior enlisted with running and nine kinds of sit-ups at PT today, I offered to grab lunch, fully intending to get myself a salad.  Kid went to shower and change back into uniform, I bought the person a salad, and myself, a fried fish sandwich and fries.

I do feel guilty that my job was basically to harp on fitness and nutrition for an hour, then I couldn't eat a stupid salad.

  • I AW'd H's deployment to avoid physical harm on Sunday, which most of you already know.
    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • I'm kinda p!ssed at H.

    For the past 7 months I've been the picture of health. Now, after only 3 days of him being back, I've got swollen lymph nodes, a sore throat and major congestion. I assume he's built up an amazing immune system from interacting with so many different people on a daily basis- he isn't sick at all, but that hasn't stopped him from being a carrier!

  • When I go to the bathroom at night I keep my head down until I reach the light switch (it's across the room from the door) so that I don't see Bloody Mary.

    LOL

    I made Joe take a full length mirror out of my room because I kept jumping at my own reflection when I was home alone.

  • I'm 28 years old and a mother and I'm afraid of the dark.  To combat said fear I just keep my eyes closed in the dark.  If I can't see the monsters/ghosts/killer then the monsters/ghosts/killer can't see me.

    I really like Selena Gomez "Love Song" and I'm glad she admits to listening to songs on repeat...I do it too.

  • TMI alert. H got home yesterday for leave and now I'm seriously considering having sex with him before my "six" week check up. I stopped bleeding at two weeks, had one stitch that's fully healed, I feel great, and he is making me so damn horny haha. Plus my appt isnt until January and he'll be gone by then. I'm going crazy here!

    I never waited the full 6 weeks.  Just take precautions unless you want to get pg again. 

    I am also afraid of what's in the dark. When J is gone, I sleep with a tv on and a knife (sheathed) under my pillow.  It goes right back onto the top shelf of the closet before I wake the kids up.  I also leave B-boy's hotwheels on the floor of the hallway as a booby trap.  I know, I'm ridiculous.

    I avoid looking in the mirror at night too!! I dont want my reflection to come out and kill me in crazy ways (a la that crazy movie "mirrors") I have to tell myself that there is no crazy girl that was forced to be in a room of mirrors as therapy looking for revenge in my area. Also, I dont want to see bloody Mary either, lol.

    Mirrors are creepy

  • Ojo don't feel guilty about that fish sandwich! You are pregnant and having difficulty keeping foods down. Eat what you can!

    E has class tonight and I have absolutely NO intentions of eating what I put in the crockpot for him for dinner. None. I don't eat a lot of red meat and itsa crockpot goulash with beef. I have no guilt about coming home and having the same soup I had for lunch!

  • I freak out in the dark. The inside of our house looks like the sun when H goes to work. I have had anxiety attacks every time a plane goes over our house for a month. We live close to base. Stupid dreams. This is more of a rant. I can't stand one of H's co-workers. I tend to get really upset when people talk about my sex life. Especially when she was talking about it right in front of us. I am a modest person so I like privacy.
  • I volunteered to be the off-base drop-off point for our OSC Cookie Caper (people make cookies, we distribute them to all of the single guys and gals on base) and I swear, the people who are dropping them off are blind and dumb. There's a cooler outside my front door with a big sign on it saying to put your cookies in the cooler. Every.single.person has rung the doorbell to ask where they are supposed to put their cookies. 

    I just put a sign on my front door that says "Do not ring doorbell. Sick baby napping." Hopefully that will stop them.

    Note to self: Do not volunteer for this job next year.

    What was she saying? Was she asking questions or has your husband been saying things?

  • She was talking about how now we can do our "married thing". She kept saying it over and over then got all quiet after she said it. Right before she said that she was going to say something but stopped her self. She was making it clear what she was talking about. I don't usually overreact about this kind of stuff, possiblly I am now? I asked him and he said he didn't say anything.

  • I'm debating whether or not I want to go on any type of BC.  I'm kind of thinking Irish twins would be nice and then we would be completely done.  H would strangle me if he knew I was thinking about getting PG again right away.

  • Ojo, greasy/salty food was the only food I didn't throw up immediately when I was pg with my twins.  Play on playa. 

     

    Red, I say if you're feeling good and healed, go for it.  I only followed orders to a "t" b/c I had a c-section and didn't want to risk infection.  You had a natural birth with no complications AND he's close to 5w old, right?  I'm not a doc, but I'd say you're good to go!

    Also: I'm dipping my carrot sticks in ranch that expired almost a month ago. It still tastes alright, so what the hell? I can eat it until I pick some more up at Costco this week. 
    It is fine until you're peeing out your butthole. My mom has expired canned yams from '04 in her pantry. I wrote on both ends of the can "if you are mom:, call Lemon to tell her you found the really old yams and are throwing them AWAY!" I discovered them in '06/'07.

    Well that's awkward!  It's okay to draw attention to how awkward that is. Tilt your head to the side and look at her like she's crazy, ask if she's ever been reported for sexual harassment, etc. I don't think you're overreacting, it's inappropriate behavior.

    I am very quiet around people. I usually just smile but the one day I say anything she screwed it up. I seriously wanted to ask her that but was so puzzled and shocked I just stood there dumb founded
  • imageKiller Cupcake:
    I'm undecided about whether or not I like the way the board is now or if I miss some of the flamings we used to have back in the day. Sometimes I do miss it (mostly because I'm bored out of my mind), and sometimes I don't because I don't have the energy or desire to deal with it anymore. 

    I was just kidding!

    When DH was deployed in '09, after thinking I heard noises in the house, every night when it was time to go to bed, instead of turning lights off, I'd walk around the house turning them on. My house was ablaze in lights. I figured that my noisy neighbor would get a better view of anybody who tried to break in. (And yes, there was a guy who lives on our cul de sac who acted as the self-appointed watch/attack "dog". It was creepy yet reassuring.)

    And, when I have to take the dog out at night, I call him killer--in the hopes that if a would-be intruder overhears me, they will reconsider. Dumb, I know.

  • I feel like I never talk to Stan anymore because I don't post over here very much. I can't answer any of the real questions, etc. so I just creepily lurk.

  • I ALWAYS have creepy mirror dreams!!!  They're the worst type of mightmare.  ugh. 

     

    My Confession is that there is an obnoxious woman on base, who is negative about everything, yells over people when they talk and is just ridiculous.  She's been asking me to make things for her for months, never comes over to look at fabric even when I say " Come over any time!!"  And so when she wanted me to make her a camera strap, I put her off.  I finally got the cammies blouse she wanted me to make it from right before my parents got here, and finished it yesterday- I emailed her and she hasn't responded.  I don't want to do business for her.  She'll be the type to tell people I wasn't all THAT great and took a long time, but really, I just don't like her.  I can't not do business for her though, because it's a small base and I have to see her face all the time.

     

    Also, there's a woman coming over in half an hour to pick up some books from me.  I  am seriously considering just not wearing a bra since I have a sweater on and my level of caring is close to none and I gots stuffs to do.

    I agree.  I would have replied with something like, "I'm sorry.  I wasn't aware we had extra people in our bed room.  Maybe we should start charging a cover charge with such a large audience.  Do you have any tips since you seem to be so eager to give your two cents?"  But, I'm biitchy like that.

    Call him Tiny.  Dogs named Killer, Butch or any other tough guy name are always yorkies or another small breed.  Dogs name Tiny are always gigantic.

  • My mom is terrible with money. My dad did leave her in a mess and I feel bad but if she's keeping her smart phone/ data plan then obviously she isn't hurting that bad or taking it seriously.

  • My cousin called me to ask me to pick up something for my brother and FSIL from her and her H because she doesn't think she'll have time. She left this in a message to me and I attempted to call her back but she didn't answer. I don't have time either. I hate that people think just because I don't have kids means I have all the time in the world. I don't. I work. I work out. I clean my house. I feed my husband. I take my puppers for walks. I'm busy too but I managed to do mine and my dad's Christmas shopping all before this last weekend. I don't want to do your's too!!!

    My work thinks I can come in whenever anyone calls in because I don't have kids. That's right, I don't have a life and I live to work because I didn't squeeze lemon 2.0 out my vagina yet.
