I need to confess.

******, I move items 3 times. If over the course of 3 moves MH does not notice it is missing, straight to the salvation army it goes.

I think my house cleaner does a shitty job but I can't fire her or tell anyone. It's my MIL.

Mine does a shitty job also,  but it is an expense MH covers so i will not do anything about it.

FWIW - I pay cable and cell phones,  he pays electric and house cleaner,  he totally wins in this deal anyway

ETA good lord my MIL does not clean my home.

MH still has shirts from high school. That was 15 years and 50 pounds ago. Those shirts fit me!

Add me to this group. And high school for me was over 20 years and 100 pounds ago.

FFFC it annoys me beyond belief that MH, BIL and SIL make ZERO fucking effort to figure out a gift for my MIL, it is always me. THis could most likely be bc I am the only one who would be bothered if she opened nothing.

My boss has been doing interviews all week and I've been adjusting my schedule to see who all he interviews.

There is one person I really don't like and I flat out told him DNW to work with that person.

I have to buy all the gifts. Even for MH family. They draw names and I buy both our gifts.

+1. I have bought every single gift that "we" are giving out this year, including the secret santa gift for H's sister and I helped organize the sibling gift (H's siblings) for his mom.

I mean, I like shopping and finding good deals so I don't really mind, but I don't think H truly appreciates the hours I spend shopping and looking for deals...

I've seriously been contemplating taking 1 month of BCP. The reasons are multiple and completely insane.

Top 2 thoughts
1. At least when I don't get pregnant, it's expected and there's no disappointment
2. The false info of being "more fertile" when you stop the pill

It's idiotic I know but I'm not thinking clearly lately.

I wouldn't necessarily take BCP "just because" but I did really like the month I was on BCP preparing for our IVF cycle that got canceled, exactly because of reason #1. It was the first month in 2+ years that I knew I wouldn't get pregnant so I wasn't sad at all when my period started.

I've even bought my mom's gifts for her siblings, my stepdad, and H this year. She's paying me back but I need a finders fee.

yes. I'm 99% sure I'll start them after Christmas. Cd1 is predicted for Christmas Day. Yay. But I'll give 2016 one last chance to prove itself. Jan was EDD for my loss 29 or so cycles ago. Jan 2016 was harder in me than expected so I want to avoid all that again for 2017.

Hugs, friend.

Perk of DH being mostly estranged from his family - no figuring out gifts for in-laws! And it makes me happy that SS has my family - DH gets overwhelmed by how many gifts SS ends up getting between my parents, my grandma, my aunts/uncles, my siblings, and my cousins.  I'm just really glad that my whole family has embraced him as family the way they have - you always worry that someone will be a dick to the stepkid.

PS - I totally wasn't thinking and wrote out SS's name - oops! Glad I caught that! It's the exact opposite of when I catch myself about to say "DH" out loud to a coworker when talking about him.

I took multiple trips to Bath and Body Works and then picked up my step dads while I was in Chicago for work.

H appreciates my efforts towards his gifts.

PEPPER POTTS
13:09:40 Is "fancyspaname" where she has a membership? Spa gift certificate for your Mom? Or is Helper's email address on anything your Mom has forwarded? I can ask if she knows where she gets her nails or hair done for a gift cert?

I was on birth control temporarily over the summer for a reason that is completely escaping me right now. I had the same thought process though.

My confession is that I totally just leaned over to MH to ask him if I was on BCP this summer because I'm a little bit tipsy. He just smirked and quietly shook his head yes.

I vote donate asap.

[thechickencoop]

I almost left one of our dogs outside last night 😕

I was in the bathroom when H went up to bed, he turned everything off and I assumed both dogs were in our room with him. So there I am in bed reading for like...probably an hour. I hear all this commotion outside; lo and behold our one dog was still out. It was 20* out. I'm just glad I was still awake.
