I had a terrible nightmare last night. It was inspired by the conjuring 2, I'm sure as we were being haunted and then a demon was chasing us. I had the brilliant mind to carve crosses in him with a knife while praying and trying to cast him out and he was hissing and spitting and then laughed and was like "your faith isn't strong enough" and then tried to drag me to hell meanwhile I was calling all my Christian friends to get them to come help. I woke up in a pool of sweat and terrified to go back to sleep.
Confession: I'm 31 and scared of ghosts and demons. Laugh it up, I have to pep talk myself after horror movies like "ok Ashtog, you are 31. How many times has the monster from a movie come after you? Right. Zero. It's 3am, go the fuck to sleep."
Also, if I'm rocking the baby and put him down and suddenly get the weird thought that maybe there's a ghost watching me, I shamefully put him in his crib and creep out of the room with my heart pounding. Lol. I run and leave the defenceless infant to fend for himself :'D what's wrong with me?? Lol
Oh- but there was a breakthrough when I started watching supernatural and see that you can make ghosts go away with iron and protect yourself with salt. So now in my dreams I try to bring salt and iron. I can't even make this shit up guys. I'm totally crazy.
Other confession: it's laundry day. I'm folding and putting away 8 baskets of laundry right now. Housewife of the year I am not.
My one year old has overdue library books. I've never had overdue library books. I feel like a criminal. The library is 3/10ths of a mile away so no excuses except first trimester grossness. I'm about to pack him up and do my walk of shame to go pay my fines.
Our library system doesn't make you pay fines for late books unless you never bring them back and try renewing your library card; if you bring them back at any point, you don't pay anything. They only care about damaged books. Pretty sure I paid more for a book that had a page corner get wet than the book was worth. Meh.
When I go grocery shopping, sometimes I buy myself special treats and then hide them in our pantry hoping DH/DD won't find them so I don't have to share. Last night I bought Trader Joes dark chocolate crisps because they were the only thing that looked appetizing in the whole store. I may have already eaten 1/4 of the package...
I just keep snacks in my room buried under pillows....good on you for using your pantry lol

ashtog, I'm the same way about ghosts and demons! I don't handle them well. And H and I love Supernatural! So far behind but we always joke that as long as we have salt and iron around, we're fine. I may or may not be joking when he and I talk about it.

I finally had a sex dream that involved H last night. It was terrible. Why are the ones with him in it always terrible? I wake up feeling disappointed and I'm not good at physical affection the day after those dreams.
thelittleredm oh me too! Hubs thinks I'm crazy though lol. I tell him my fears and he rolls his eyes too but I'm like whatever. I have salt in my night stand , sooooo....
Eta: that sucks about not exciting sex dreams what a bummer

peaseblossom55 it was unorganized, to say the least, and they didn't have any planned activities. They just got drunk and invited girls to their house for "pool" parties (everyone was single but him, another married guy, and the bachelor). He said he felt like a babysitter. He also didn't know to many of the guys very well.
Add me to club "feel like a shitty mom". I know it's not true for any of us but it's so hard to feel like I am contributing positively to his life in anyway right now.
FFFC: Paw Patrol has been doing a lot of parenting for me lately. I let DS watch three hours last Sunday while I slept on the couch. The guilt is awful. We've also had frozen pizza twice this week because DH wasn't able to cook and I just couldn't make anything "real".
Um, my "bachelorette party" consisted of all of the guys and girls going out to see "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and then the ladies went back to my parents' house and we had ice cream, watched a chick flick, and made fleece no-sew blankets. Of course, I was only 20, so we couldn't really go out drinking, but omg, so boring.
Also, most of my friends and family are really conservative - at least the girls - and the bachelorette parties are always SO BORING compared to the bachelor parties. The guys are all, "let's get drunk and smoke cigars and play board games!" and the bachelorette parties are all, "let's watch a movie and paint our nails!" I am so jealous of all of the fun bachelor parties DH gets to go to.

ashtog, My H just laughs at me and encourages the crazy. And right? Like, dreams are for crazy good sex, not boring, nothing goes right sex.
geekmama, My bachelorette party was way more thane than I ever thought it would be. There were only 2 people there able to drink (I was 20). My MOH was like, 18, I think and did a fairly good job given that 90% of the people there couldn't consume alcohol. We did a photo scavenger hunt over our side of town and played some cheesy games at my house. At least it wasn't boring per say, but definitely didn't make me feel like I was entering adulthood. Lol

Feeling accomplished. I have vacuumed the whole house, emptied and put away two moving boxes, finished two loads of laundry, cleaned 3 bathrooms and am about to go weed outside.
(Remember my earlier confession about being a shitty employee? I will need to make up for that next week)

I was the opposite of sober for my bachelorette party. I also ended up losing my ID and taking a train back to DC since I wouldn't have been able to get onto my plane without it (bachelorette was in Boston where all my college girl friends live).

I have little time at home after work before heading out to the theater tonight. I am way too excited about the can of Annie O's I have waiting for me in the pantry.
Oh, are we randoming in here today too? We went to the zoo today and I wore DS in our Ergo Ventus most of the time. He got down for a bit, then I put him back up to trek back out to the car. I must've done it wrong, because now my back is killing me. Sad panda.

geekmama, how old/big is DS? The last time I wore DD was in lake March (boo hoo), and she was about 22 pounds at the time. We walked about a mile and a half total. I'm in pretty good shape, and I was still sore after.
I'm ashamed to be British. The nation has been torn apart and is full of idiots. Sorry world I tried.
Also my house looks like a bomb has hit it but I can not be bothered to clean it.
I was shocked. I thought I misread my CNN alert this morning.
Ditto. I am shocked the vote went the way it did. I can understand people being upset, but whoa. otepoti, the only good news (for us) is that the world isn't focused on the insanity of our politics at the moment!

DH came home, handed me cash, and told me to go get a pedicure! I didn't even ask questions.... Just grabbed my purse and ran out! I love these damn massage chairs.
