Since we're getting juicy!
Let's have some Tuesday Confessions.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Since we're getting juicy!
1. I'm addicted to draw something. Like, really addicted.It's almost replaced FB.
2. I haven't showered in days. Seriously.
3. Now that we do the Trendy Tuesdays, I put more thought into what I'm wearing.
4. I brag about my kid so much in hopes that my cousin gets jealous. She made my pregnancy hell I can make her post baby life hell too.
I'm sure I can come up with more.
1. I'm addicted to Scramble with Friends, even better and faster than WWF!
2. I'm excited to go to Europe, but I'm also kinda dreading it. I'm just scared I'm going to be exhausted and not able to eat all I want since I am picky and there will most likely be more food restrictions. I'm also mad I'll be missing out on all the good wine, cheese, and beer, and usually I'm not a huge alcohol drinker, but now that I can't have it, I'm dying for some wine.
3. I'm dying for this baby to move and me to feel it.
4. I'm worried something is going to go wrong at our anatomy scan tomorrow. After the NT scan debacle I'm so distrusting of MFM at the hospital now. I'm also second guessing wanting to be team green. I'm so anxious to know if this baby is a boy or girl, but I am trying to maintain my resolve to let it be a surprise.
5. I feel bad for T, but I am just so not in the mood for sexytime lately, it's been a while, but ugh, it's just not comfortable or enjoyable right now. I'm still waiting for that second tri need-to-have-it drive to kick in...
6. I want to buy a whole bunch of baby stuff, I feel so unprepared right now, but I know we have time and should really wait until after my shower to get the stuff we still will need.
What the!?! That's freakin awesome! How did that happen?
Kate's Recipe Box || Relatively Bookish
I have eaten way too many of these in the last few days...
seriously like 14 between Saturday and Today
Since having a baby I realize how much our previous social life revolved around drinking.
Um..I hit third tri today..and realized just how scared I am of June. I'm so afraid I'm going to be a terrible mom and not know what to do. I knew I was nervous, but seeing that 3rd tri pop up on my pregnancy app today really freaked me out. It makes me feel like a bad momma.
I'm lying to my school and saying I"m coming back next year. But, of course, I know darn well we're moving and I'm not coming back. I feel bad lying to a catholic school, but my principal is a moody middle-aged woman who would make my life miserable if she had 3 months to stew over me not coming back.
Yesterday Wyatt fell down the stairs of our deck in an attempt to walk down them like a big person, and this happened:
I feel so guilty for this. A coworker of mine just lost her 18 month old son to a brain aneurysm after he fell head first off his sister's bunk bed, she thought he was fine and took him to the babysitters where he started acting strange and died in hospital less than 12 hours later. I feel like what I did made sense at the time (clean it, put polysporine on it and watch for signs of a concussion), but now I wonder if I should have brought him into the hospital after all. He is perfectly fine except for a bruise on his forehead, and a scab on the side of his head, but what if I had made the same mistake? It makes me sick inside.
Edited to add thought
This post hurts my heart... I can't imagine how anyone could ever get over that. I think we are always going to second guess and feel guilty as mothers. Wyatt is such a little dare devil! I am not looking forward to Brin getting his legs. The video you posted of him gettting on the stool OMG!
We are getting new neighbors this weekend. Our current neighbors are leaving tomorrow, they are very nice, quiet, great neighbors. I'm excited to have someone new because we've heard they are a somewhat younger couple with a young kid, but I'm also worried that they are going to be annoying...we already have one of "those" neighbors behind us.
I'm currently sitting here watching Pretty little liars, my guilty pleasure, haha
My house is really not very clean right now, but I have very little motivation to do it because we are still working on the bathroom upstairs, and I feel like every time DH comes out of there he drags dust, dirt, and other crap all over the house with him.
I am so heartbroken for her, especially since she blames herself for everything, but what was she supposed to do? She thought he was okay, and kids do stuff like that all the time and come out of it fine... just like Wyatt yesterday. Wyatt definitely knows how to keep me on my toes. He has already fallen off the stools once, and now he can get onto our kitchen chairs and onto the table. I keep reminding myself that kids have been doing this as long as there have been kids, but he still scares me on a daily basis.
I am SO addicted to draw something as well.
Im really slacking off at work right now/today. They have me SO frustrated I was in tears almost all week. They are stressing me out beyond belief and today is my Friday. So there!
I didn't go to the gym this morning even though I had everything packed and ready to go. This is the second morning I flaked.
I keep playing around with my fertility friend app so that I can see it say pregnant lol. I change it back...but for a few mins I like to dream.
Blog
- I intend to have a margarita every night this week with dinner.
- I let a student throw silly putty around my room today and it was bouncing off everything...I know I should have redirected but it was the end of the day and I just didn't care enough to waste my energy.
- I put in for a personal day at the end of the month for no particular reason. I have absolutely no plans for that day, but the thought of working the whole month without any time off had me stressed. I'm sure that I'll sit around doing nothing but thinking about how happy I am to be home that entire day.
I took this Friday off for the exact same reason LOL March stinks!!
I "let things go" a LOT in situations like this... I mean my kids know I mean business but sometimes it's hard to be on it all the time!! I hope you enjoy your personal day and just relax and do nothing... sometimes we need that!
I've been single for a year and a half and the whole "physical" aspect of singlehood is getting to me!! Definitely looking forward to hopefully having a marriage againf or a lot of reason, and one high reason is the intimacy factor, hehe!
I really starting to worry if I will be able to have children... and it's not a completely unreasonable worry either with my age and "status," lol...
I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss sleeping next to someone... Like my body aches for it and craves it... Enjoy your cuddle time ladies... Even if its not often...
In addition tho... I really like having a house to myself hehe... And not worrying about anyone else... Enjoying some of that while it lasts... But def looking forward to sharing everything with the right one... Whoever he may be....
I get the feeling that people think there's something wrong with DH and I because *gasp* we're not working on getting pregnant yet. I know I'm 31 and we can afford it, but it's not going to be the end of the world if I'm an "old" mama.
That, and the rumor has gone around 15 billion times at school that I'm pregnant. The moms just can't keep the gossip to themselves. It got so bad a while back that someone heard the rumor and actually purchased me a present.
