Re: Good Thoughts & Confession Session Thursday - 9/27/12
Confession: my patience level has been nonexistent, and my kids are feeding off my short fuse. Temper tantrums, screaming, hurting each other... My husband said today that I've been an elevator lately, and I couldn't pick a better description. I hate it, and want to change, but it's an awful vicious cycle from my moodiness to their defiance to my escalating anger to their tantrums. Breaking the cycle is going to take a lot of will power on my part. God help me, but this has got to stop, and I have to start with me.
Obviously, I can't stop you from lurking. And, I won't be changing my posting habits. Heck, I love talking to Amy & Michele, and the handful of girls who post with some regularity. But, I do wish that all the readers would at least occasionally drop a hello.
I know it can be a PITA to post here from anything other then a computer, but it can be done. This confession was typed from my phone, just disabling Javascript first. The formatting is a simple HTML code, but I admit it is time-consuming to type from my phone.
Just wish that I had more than an inkling of who is upping the view count. Although, in most cases, I have a very good educated guess...
*waves to the former Nesties... who still call themselves by that name, despite not using The Nest boards anymore*
And I'll add a confession onto this: The recent nesties popping in to make 1 post to say "oh, you are still here!" and then disappearing again. Great, yeah, we remember you. So nice of you to come back and... what, take pity on us? No need to come back if you're not going to stay. Or post anything but one big AW.
I'm all for people coming back - Hi Michele! Glad you stayed! - but I am annoyed at the rest of the one-time posts from former Nesties.
I'm also in a b!tchy mood today...
Good thoughts: To cucca that her friend situation starts to turn around, to Alicia while she celebrates her dad, and to anyone else that needs them.
Confession: I'm irrationally annoyed at DS's daycare. We want him to move up a room and they are dragging their feet and won't give us a straight answer as to why. The teachers are all for it, but the directors are fighting us... and this makes me irrationally angry after they forced him from the infant room to the early toddler room at only 10 months old because he was already walking. But now they won't consider moving him to middle todder until he's 18 months, even though he's ready now! end rant.
Good thoughts: To all of you. Alicia, I know this time of year is hard for you. Cucca that you are able to rebuild a friend network. Amy that your damn daycare provider gets their head out of their arse (I recently had to have the same fight with my daycare for M). For all of you - for health, money, jobs, babies, for all good things.
Confession: Ditto Amy and Alicia. Gotta love people who don't want to be public anymore or post here or participate but can't help sticking their noses in everyone's business. I want to post random crap just to draw them all in. Except that's like feeding drama llamas I suppose. *sigh* I do find the lurking ridiculous. I wish more people would just post - share ideas, share recipes, etc. I have been backing off of the private group for many reasons, but seriously just hang on to it for damn recipe and holiday gift idea posts. I wish people would post them here too :-(
Confession: I'm also pissed off that when the group went private it became more obnoxious, mean, and clique-y than it was when it was public. Inevitable, I suppose, but I see things happening that are far worse than anyone's freakin pg being outed before they were ready. Ah women in a big group. *another sigh*
Confession: I am so happy another work project got delayed, I need to clean my house before my BFF /maid of honor arrives tomorrow to this pig sty!
Confession: I blog. I've written 321 blog posts, on all kinds of topics. And the one that gets me the most FB comments (although I wish people would comment on the damn blog itself, it helps my stats folks!), is the one debating doing a cleanse of some kind. I've written about much more important topics and asked for feedback on much more emotional topics. And this is what gets feedback. #headdesk.
Confession: I want to build up my blog. Hell my therapist recommended I write a book. But I have no idea where to start. I'm so scatter brained lately, I can't focus, I can't concentrate. I need to take this Sunday to just map things out for a few weeks. No travel until 10/20 for us so I have a month to just get things in order, get a routine, get things straight. Then figure out how to do all of these things ;-)

For the record, you were not to be included in my rant! You post regularly and everyone goes through busy times when it's hard to check in. I was more talking about the people that come on, start 1 thread to say "you're still here!" and don't reply to anything ever again.
