FFFC* 1.30.14...

[penguininthecity]

Happy Friday, folks!

I'm totally watching the Super Bowl for the commercials, and hopefully I'll also catch the Puppy Bowl (both at a friend's house...)

ETA: And I'm heading to work for the first time in a pair of jeans and one of my geeky shirts/sweatshirts b/c that's what I usually do on Fridays at work.

What do y'all have to confess today?



* Remember...these aren't always flame free.

I have no plans to watch the Super Bowl. In my 29 years on the planet, I have never watched the game or attended a Super Bowl party.

I went and tried on wedding dresses last night. A TINY part of me was like "I don't want her to know I just had a baby, how tacky". AWFUL, I know. I of course ended up gushing about him, showing pictures and didn't buy a dress lol - I'm sure she was tickled.

Side note: I had left LO home with my Dad who called about an hour after we left, so I naturally assumed the worst, but he said "I was just calling to tell you everything is great, baby is sleeping and take your time". Precious.

Also, it's 2015!

Ha...yep... Got it!

[kboyet]

I'm sort of excited to go back to work which makes me feel really guilty! I have a ton of respect for single and sah moms!

Okay so the first day I have to take Ry to daycare I will probably change my tune.

I did the thing that we'll probably all do once in our babies' lives and that we'll feel terrible for- I accidentally drove with them unbuckled yesterday. We were at the mall and they were in their car seats in the snap n go stroller. We stopped and I took them out to feed them, and put them back in their seat without buckling them up bc we were going to be there a while. When we left I just zipped up their covers and put them in the van. I was a block from home when it struck me that they weren't buckled in! And we had been on the freeway even! I'm so glad nothing happened.

Thinking of you, penguininthecity. Good luck!

Confession: I took the last cup of chocolate ice cream out of the patient and family kitchen at the hospital last night. I felt guilty and should have left it in case a child wanted it, but I've been so worried about Miles and got my first pp period, so I went for it. I'm sure they have a ton more elsewhere....right?

My dad is stopping by for lunch today. I know he wants to visit with me etc but it just means I need to clean my living room and kitchen this morning So I'm not excited. Seriously considering handing off the baby and either showering or napping which I'm sure is also not his intention. Oh well, at least I get free food!

Food you are in no way responsible for is great! I do hope you get a shower and/or nap!

we've had 2 snow days and 2 90 minute delays in this week. The school district sent a auto text/email/robocall this morning at 5:45 that today was the second 90 minute delay. I admit that when I saw it my thought was "GAH this weather is totally RUINING my maternity leave".

some might argue the point of a maternity leave is to spend time with one's children.....but my FFFC is that I vastly prefer being home with just the baby with the older two at school. 

Totally agree. I love my older boys but I prefer them to be in school when school is scheduled. I am obviously not made to be a stay at home mom ha!

[neonsun419]

Ladies, I must confess! DS1 turns 4 this weekend and I could not give fewer shits about his birthday party. And by party I mean kid party on Saturday, family party on Sunday and pizza lunch at daycare on Monday.

I resent having to spend my few free moments writing thank you notes for the gifts LO was given after he was born.

[chicorojo]

I am totally soaking up having surgery yesterday. I stay high on pain meds while my husband has done all the work. He went back to work while me and baby were still in the hospital and he has a dangerous job so I don't let him help at night. He took yesterday and today off and its the first time since I've had Tristan that I've slept more than 2 1/2 hours at a time. *I may be exaggerating the pain* so I can take all the naps and have a break from all the mom duties.

Glad I'm not the only one resenting them.

[serunatu]

I've been wanting to meet my friends newborn baby boy. She let me know she would be in my area yesterday so we made plans for her to come over. I found out her 2 older girls (2 and 4) we're going to be with, and they are ridiculously badly behaved. At the last minute I told her LO and I hadn't slept yet so we weren't up for visitors. Granted we didn't get a ton of sleep, but I really just didn't want to see her two girls.

I did this too, I literally almost got sick when I realized what I had done. It was the worst feeling.

YES! I'm going to hell for my lack of gratitude. At this point when someone gives LO a gift I want to give it back rather than write another GD thank you card

[mlee116]

I bought myself a box of chocolates last night and ate them for dessert. Happy Valentines Day, self! I can't promise it won't happen again before Valentines Day either.

[serunatu]

I really like this grey onesie because it has long sleeves and matches anything, so LO has worn it quite a few times. After wear in it all day I noticed maybe it's a bit small. Tag says up to 7 lbs, lol she weighed more than that at birth! Sorry baby.

[erien22846]

LO is 8 weeks old and I haven't written one thank you note or addressed one birth announcement.

[mcm]

My confession -- I didn't even know the Super Bowl was this weekend. I really don't care about football andplusalso I don't have cable. Yuuuuup.

I WANT TO SMOKE SOOOO BAD! (Cigarettes)

I know! I know!!
Smoking is bad. It causes cancer and all kinds of bad things. I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant and it was probably one of the hardest things I had to do. I am proud that I quit. But now that LO isn't inside me.....I want to cross over to the dark side again.
BUR I don't want to be all smelly and second hand smoky to LO.
Ugh

[danisgossipgirl]

My SIL made last minute plans to come over tonight. She's bringing us pizza and we don't see her that often, so this should be good news. But I have the Parenthood finale waiting for me so... She better make her stay short and sweet.

[melobear]

My husband invited his friends over to watch the superbowl on Sunday. I told him that I did not want anyone to come over because I don't want to clean. So, he said that he would do all the cleaning. I do not plan to help him at all.

[babar78]

I go back to work February 9th and it's time! My Disney Jr. channel addiction is coming to an end. Handy Manny finally hooked up with Kelli and I was so happy for them because the chemistry has been there since the 1st episode. Yeah I know, I know.

I've been having such a hard time with this. I want to smoke so so so bad. But quitting was so hard I can't start again.

[jennielee123]

I still have Christmas decorations up.

I hear ya I smoked for 10 years. Keep reminding yourself how hard it was to quit. It's way easier to stay quit than quit again! Stay strong

[feeshahd]

Oh All Right...
I won't inhale thousands of toxic chemicals. Thanks you guise

[gdaniels77]

Feel kinda bad about this
(Plus a ridiculous amount of unnecessary baby clothes/gadgets)
