Friday! CONFESS!

If I didn't share a bed with Dh, I wouldn't sleep under the covers. Up until our wedding night I always slept on top of the comforter with a few loose blankets. It's better that way and I miss it a little.

My mom fell down the stairs this morning, and my dad called 15min before I was supposed to drop DS off there. Mom is fine, just sore. I cancelled my morning at work today, and told them I was looking for a babysitter for the afternoon. I didn't look for a babysitter. Im enjoying the day off.

Maybe this is an UO, then, but I love sleeping snuggled with something! A pile of blankets, H, the dog, whatever!

I'm a grumpy b**** today.

That is all.

Ever since my dad passed away and it's just my mom I talk to, visit, etc, I've come to realize that I love my mom a LOT, but I honestly don't really like her a lot of times. I feel awful for saying that, but it's becoming more true as time goes on and I'm not sure what to do about it. She's a really awesome person, everyone loves her, super social, has a million friends and volunteers in the community all the time....she's just not that great at being a mom and never has been. Everyone tells me how lucky I am to have her as a mother, and it drives me crazy that they don't realize how detached emotionally she is from her kids and how she puts her own feelings before every member of her family's 100% of the time. She's very emotionally self centered. She had a really hard upbringing and I think she always kind of took it out on us that we had it so much better than she did. My Dad was always there as a buffer making up for her shortcomings, but with him gone, it's really hard for me to figure out how to deal with our new relationship dynamic. Knowing she doesn't have my dad anymore and all of her kids live in different states away from her, it makes me feel like a horrivle daughter for feeling that way and saying it out loud.

I am still not feeling 100% after food poisoning earlier this week, but my boss brought in doughnuts, and I pretty much HAD to eat one.

@iheartmyshiba, sorry your friend canceled. I know you were looking forward to seeing her.

hurricanerek, I miss sleeping alone in general. I don't like to be touched when I'm sleeping and I miss having all the extra space.

DH is gone for a couple of weeks and I am going to miss sleeping in the middle of the bed when he comes back.

I am also a grumpy bitch today. I'm irritated with DH and the whole situation of today-Monday. I have 4 days off in a row from work and I probably won't get to enjoy it.

@iheartmyshiba sorry your friend cancelled. Take the day and enjoy some you time!

I'm probably thinking about it the wrong way, but I'm not too concerned with losing the last 10 pounds of baby weight to get back to my "normal". My theory is I want to get pregnant again, and I'll just gain the weight anyway, so don't worry about it too much.

[honeybee434]

@iheartmyshiba At this point, I just have to learn to deal with it. We've had more talks through the years than I even know how to count, and she just justifies her actions and words by saying, "well, that's how I feel." I just have to find my way of living with her the way she is now that she's the only parent I have.

Sometimes I feel that way and other times I don't

[sararl07]

At least once a week I don't brush my teeth at night bc I am so tired or I remember when I am already tucked into bed and I am not getting back up.


Team cozy under the blankets.

I think you're doing the right thing by just dealing with it. Your Mom sounds like a great person and it sounds like you love her, but to make situations like this work, sometimes you just have say "that's just how it is". You won't change her, not at this point in her life...especially since you've had many conversations with her about this. She just doesn't see it like you do and sometimes it's just best to agree to disagree. All you can do is deal with how it makes you feel.

Accidentally posted in the random thread so here it is..

I just bought three pairs of skinny jeans/jeggings and I am not skinny (size 12's and 14) and IDGAF. My weight isn't where I want it to be but hubs says my ass looks good so, again, IDGAF!!
