These are my FFFConfessions

[rlb]

Yes, it's an hour to Friday, but I am so terrible at remembering what I have to 'fess that I'm going to spill it early.

This is a doozy.

I may or may not have watched this video in it's entirety during my pregnancy. I started by thinking "an hour's worth of vine videos?  That's just crazy, no one could do it".  I finished by hanging my head in shame.  If you don't want to do the math, that would be about 600 clips.

I sleep with a stuffed panda.

I can't put DH in a sleeping choke hold but I can do that to my stuffed panda.

I have a teddy bear that my dog gouged the eyes out of.

Mbug has been stirring for about 1/2 hr but no real fussing. I'm sitting at my kitchen table drinking my coffee in peace. Still haven't gone in there.

In my mind this teaches them patience

My child is playing with the tylenol dropper thing, getting red stickiness all over. But she's happy and I have a meeting, sooo...

I had to stuff tissue paper in my shoes today. I bought these wedges last year when pregnant, and clearly my feet were bigger. Now I'm making a lovely crunchy noise when I walk.

[honeybee434]

I'm pretending to busy at work today. I don't have that much to do, just the small, little things that are always there and get put off when I'm actually busy. I've had a hella busy last two weeks so I'm taking yesterday and today and having relaxing work days. I deserve it.

[littlemissmarla]

FFFC # 2 - DDs fingernail is infected and it's my fault. I usually clip her nails and the other day a piece was hanging off so I tried to bite it off and pulled the nail back up into the cuticle. I feel terrible about it and she has to be on oral antibiotics and a cream.

The only thing that made me not totally hate myself was that she didn't seem to be in pain, major mommy guilt.

[honeybee434]

I've never wanted to be a SAHM. I have a hard time being productive and not lazy when I'm home, and I also have this really big fear of something happening to DH and me not having a good resume, or job opening available somewhere, to get a decent paying job. I have a good job now, but a lot of it I've worked into and it's not really a position that you just find anywhere and apply for. You often have to know someone who is hiring and that person has to do enough business to pay you a decent amount. So, I would probably end up entry level somewhere if I did have to get back into the workplace.

For some reason I'm seriously debating it whenever DH's promotion comes. I don't know where this sudden urge has come from to be with her all of the time. I would like to see if they would let me go part time, but we may be too busy for that so it might be all or nothing.

Im not one of those people who does the "I said I would never do this"...and now I'm thinking of doing this.....

I took a vacation day today because DS has his 9 month appt. It's not until 3:00 so I didn't really need to take the day off but it's glorious. It is 7:20 and DS is still sleeping so I'm sipping my tea in peace.

That's awesome!! You deserve it!

[lucanjo14]

honeybee434 I know how you feel. Lately I have felt so guilty when I drop DS off at daycare. I don't want to be a sahm because I worked so hard for my career, but I definitely have times where I wish I could just stay home.
Could you cut back on hours? If it is financially possible for you to stay home when your husbands promotion goes through, and that is where your heart is, I say do it.

I totally understand! I never wanted to be samh either. People would ask while I was pregnant with C and my response was always oh I could never be home all day. I'd go stir crazy! My job advancements sound like yours, it really was who I knew. I worked hard for 7 years to get into the department I worked in.

Fast forward 9 months.. It's been the best decision I've ever made to stay home. Dh really pushed for it and so I thought I'll try it. My boss pretty much said I could come back if it didn't work out so it gave me a little security too.

I think that you'll know the right thing to do.

[lucanjo14]

I don't cut DS fingernails or toenails nearly as often as I should.
I really need to go to the dentist, but I keep putting it off.
I have intense mom guilt over not pumping longer for DS.

[Liv]

I don't think I wash Junie's clothes often enough. I put a little sweatshirt on her today and it smelled strongly of dog. Not surprising, since her clothes are constantly in contact with either the dog itself or the carpet with dog hair on it. I'm pretty lax with my own laundry "how many times can you wear it" policy as long as it doesnt have bodily fluids or sweat on it, but maybe I should wash hers more??

[littlemissmarla]

I haven't gotten a haircut since last June. I haven't had a mani/pedi since last July.


I did just make an appointment for a haircut for next Friday. It's time.

I just let DD eat puffs off the floor that the dog knocked off the toy box with his snout

This reminds me I haven't had mine cut since August. I should really get a trim.

I need a trim, too. I can barely stand my floppy ponytail when I'm running. I think I got it cut last in like September. Woof.

Right now I can't, but that's going to probably be the first thing I ask about when it happens. If it were up to me I would work 3 days a week, but if I could first try 4 days that would be a nice transition. It will be either this fall or sometime during the 2016 calendar year, even if we have to move to make it happen, so I'm just trying to plan way far ahead.

I finally got a haircut yesterday. I had six inches cut off and it feels fantastic. I made an appointment to get the color done in two weeks because it's time to cover these grays!

I will likely be getting the same amount cut off. I always love having long hair, but since DD I tend to just throw it back in a pony tail. A couple weeks ago I noticed all around my hairline I have tons of broken hairs because I've been keeping it pulled back tight, it's so gross. I'm thinking of going relatively short just for convenience, such a mom thing haha.

FFFC:

{Spoiler}I never have anything to say that needs to be hidden as a spoiler, so I'm using this as an excuse to use it.

[liziz]

Also +1 for personal care on myself and my child. I haven't had a hair cut since I came back to work in November. I'm trying to resist the mom bob (and instead, go for a long bob...) cutting baby fingernails is one of my least favorite activities....I need to get H in on the fun!

[kelpsu]

I turned the volume down on the monitor last night when DS was crying in the middle of the night, so DH could sleep while I timed out the 10 minutes before going in to check on him.

I fell asleep within 2 minutes after turning the volume off. oops.

I've totally done that before. Luckily I have a lot of faith L went right back to sleep because he's never cried more than 5 mins in the middle of the night.

Gel insoles. They're supposed to be for comfort but they make the shoe smaller too.

Good idea. Tissue paper worked for a few, until it got all scrunched up and I had to add more! Cant run out to the store today at work, no time.

Not sure if this is an FFFC, but I've been singing Usher all day now...thanks
