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.
Twin boys due 7/25/12

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!

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.
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
I changed my name
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 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.
We didn't wait the full six either. I think we made it to 4. LUBE LUBE LUBE LUBE. And more lube. YWIA.
I do this too.
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!
I was just kidding!
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 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 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.
