Can we have a confessions post, please?

I just spend over 300 bucks on scentsy.  I bought enough warmers for the whole house and they all came with the scentsy bars, and I got the circle paks and stuff for the laundry.

We had some "fun Money" set aside, and H isn't mad, because we spend too much on candles now, but I am feeling incredibly guilty about spending that much money on stuff that smells good.  It feels wasteful, but I'm so excited for it to get here.

  • I'm having nightmares about moving out of my IL's and in to my dad's place due to minor family dysfunction. Last night I dreamed that my dad was on business and I was at home alone with the dogs at night. He lives in a remote wooded area. I was leaving to ride my bike (at night? Sure why not, it's a dream.) when a strange man in an old pickup came up the driveway. The man himself was very wrong turn or house of wax ish. I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep I was so scared. I feel like a child who thinks there are monsters under the bed.

  • E's acting more like he's ready for a baby and I'm having pregnancy dreams. I'm not pregnant and I know financially we aren't ready yet but man is it hard to wait when so many of my friends are having babies. Ugh.

  • Even though I was starving I waited until after I put the babe down for a nap before making my breakfast.  I didn't want to share.

  • I ate a whole bag of Doritos for dinner last night (hey, I ate a bag of broccoli to offset it) and today my whole body is swollen.  Oh so sexy.  I'm actually relieved I'm just swollen because when I put on my uniform this morning, I was convinced I shrank it.  When I got my shoes on and realized they feel tight too, I actually felt better about the uniform.

    You show a lot more restraint than I did.  I would pee on anything that didn't move if it had the ability to tell me whether or not I was pregnant.

  • I ran and lifted this morning, and now I think I'm about to completely offset that with pizza and beer.  I give it about 4 more days before you all flame me for being an alcoholic. 
    Shot first, questions later.

  • I really want to quit my job before my H comes back from deployment, mostly because it is stressing me out sooo bad and I know it's going to be difficult to take time off when he gets home. But I'm having a huge internal struggle with that, because it feels so irresponsible to quit a job, no matter how much I dislike it.

    As a consultant, I say don't feel bad at all, haha. Honestly though, it's so much safer for the littles! It's made of food grade wax so even if someone eats it, they'll be ok. Also, it won't burn you if it falls on you, unlike if it was a candle that tipped over. Smile

    My confession: I'm mad at a wife here. She's constantly mad that her H missed her birthday because he's deployed/missed his birthday because he's deployed/missed their 1 year living together anniversary because he's deployed. Um,  get used to it. This probably isn't a one time thing.

    Oh, good grief!  If I was pissed off at all the stuff my H missed, I'd be constantly pissy.  She needs to get a grip and move on.  Yeah, it sucks, but you can't change it.

    I know. I told her it sucks but it's something you just have to deal with. Yes, you can be bummed out that he isn't there for your birthday, but to say "I hate my birthday this year because he isn't here and so I refuse to acknowledge it or do anything but wallow in self pity" is just sad. Sad It's going to make for a LONG military career.
