Re: FFFC anyone?
I have a few.
I was going through old photos the other day and it may me really depressed. I've put on 30lbs since 2006. I know what I need to do to lose the weight but I whine about it instead of doing something about it. DH doesn't understand but people give me do much junk at work! For example, the other day I turned down chips, pizza, a donut, and caramel popcorn but I drank the chai tea latte and ate a cookie. He says I just need to say no to all of it but it's hard. I've been to the gym twice this week and plan to go twice this weekend.
We had a perfect plan for October. My parents were going to fly up on the 5th, go to nephew's soccer game on the 6th, go to RennFest with us on the 7th, then fly to San Antonio on the 8th and fly home to SC on the 12th. I planned a staycation for DH and I October 12th - 16th. It was a perfect plan. Now, my parents just informed me they are not going home to SC on the 12th but are coming back here for the weekend! That defeats the purpose of using three vacation days to spend quality time with DH. I cannot cancel the days so I'm stuck having them off. My sister said she'll keep them busy but it's not the same.
My eyes hurt. I've always had issues with dry eyes, but contacts make it worse. I had to wear my glasses today because my eyes hurt too much for contacts and if I wear my glasses I can't wear sunglasses and the sun hurts my eyes even more.
My face is breaking out like crazy, which almost never happens to me, so I'm thinking I've been eating too much chocolate lately

I'm annoyed w/ my FIL. He had back surgery a few weeks ago and while I totally sympathsize that's its difficult and painful, he's being a ridiculous drama queen about the recovery. He refuses to stay off his feet or take a normal dose of painkillers, let alone advil. Everything's all jacked up down there while he's recovering, so he's having various issues w/ his private parts and is convinced he's gotten colon cancer/prostate cancer - and he keeps discussing his various issues w/ erections, bowel movements, etc. His doctor also told him to keep a healthy diet, so his digestive system is working well and consipation isnt' increasing his problems - so he eats chili and oysters instead of whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
He came to dinner w/us last night for DH's birthday - he had to leave the table 4 times to walk around (but there were lots of sighs and grunts and discussion about him getting up). He got teary at one point b/c he was in pain. Meanwhile, he won't take the medicine that's been prescribed for him or even advil, but talks endlessly about how much pain he's in. It was really uncomfortable and stressful and DH concluded that he doesn't even want to go out for dinner this weekend alone b/c he won't be able to relax w/ his Dad suffering in pain while we are gone. And, we don't want his mom to have to drive home from our house alone at 11 pm either.
I really truly am sympathetic to his pain, but he's not doing his best to manage or minimize it, but yet he's making a major production of making sure everyone else is aware of his situation. I really dont' get it.
DH has had 2 business trips since Victor was born and has another one coming up next week. I get that he is working while he is gone, but I am SO sick of hearing how tired he is when he gets home. Dude- you slept for 10 hours straight, 4 nights in a row, while I was home juggling working full time and taking care of a 2 year old and an infant.. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW TIRED YOU ARE!
