I've spent a large portion of my day on social media because work has me frustrated. I really should be concentrating on the stuff that I have to do, but can't.

Confession :
One of my Best Friends is getting married in June. I am a bridesmaid and A is the flower girl. She and I have been friends for over 15 years. She and I have literally been through it all together. My confession is that I am not excited for her wedding. I don't necessarily believe the relationship will last. In my opinion, she just wants to be married so she is settling for this guy. And she is already talking about TTC soon after they get married which is something else that makes me nervous. Maybe it's because she is a bit of a hypochondriac and every thing makes her sick so I'm dreading 9 months of pregnancy with her? Maybe it's because I'm afraid she is going to end up a single mother? Idk.. Again.. We have been through so many hardships together and it just seems like all of the "bad stuff" happens to her and I'm not exactly looking forward to this next chapter in her life because of it.
Wow that all sounds awful of me. I swear I'm a nice person 🙊

taketheshot, I definitely understand not being enthused about a friend's chosen mate, and even being a bit cynical. Hopefully it works out, but if it doesn't, we'll be here for you to (internet) eyeroll.
Another friend/wedding related confession. I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding in September. Well there hasn't been much planning and I don't think the wedding is going to happen when originally planned. So I'm planning another vacation for that weekend...
We won't book until I have word for certain, but I'm hoping the wedding gets delayed. I want to go to the Gulf.
taketheshot in a similar confession. I was the matron of honor in my friends wedding. Everyone else dropped out because they didn't approve of her fiance. For good reason. He's a lazy good for nothing leach. Before she got married I told her that he was a jerk and she deserved better but that she was an adult and I would be there to support her. I was there. Many people weren't. She "accidently" got pregnant on her honey moon. He's still a crappy husband and now a crappy father (he already had 2 kids prior who don't live with him). I guess all. I'm saying is 1) It doesn't make you a bad person to see a crappy situation and at least internally call it crappy. And 2) get ready to listen to a lot of complaining and like th3stryck3r said we're here to roll your eyes with.
My confession is this. Since I have been back to work in September I feel like I'm not nearly as passionate about my job. For the first two years in my role I was ALL.ABOUT.MY.JOB. Loved my team, loved learning new things, loved figuring out how to be in leadership. I feel like I care less. I'm not sure if it is because of being gone for a year and feeling like I missed a lot, or because I am enjoying this new challenge of course development through the college, or if I'm just broken and less dedicated, but I feel guilty that I care less about my job.

I'm off from work today, because it's an all staff holiday, but I didn't tell MH. I pretended like I was going to work.
I don't know why. I guess I just want a secret day to loaf and I didn't want any expectations to be there that I'd be cleaning or running errands or doing anything productive today.

I dream about doing this and I see it happening this summer.

I read an article about how Nike has designed a sneaker that may give runners an unfair advantage and now I want the shoes. A regular consumer version comes out in June. I may be asking for them for my birthday.
i have a confession - it's not juicy or racey or anything. but for the past couple of times someone on here has used the word advantage - my mind automatically sees abvintage
After I volunteered my house for the bbq for the GTG I worried about the fact that my house has some issues. Like the flower beds are a disaster, stains on the ceiling from where our roof leaked, totally outdated kitchen.
Then I remembered that you guys aren't basic bitches like that, and also I'll have alcohol.

If you lived closer DS1 could hook you up with a discount. He works at Nike

I've been playing Daniel Tiger in the background way more than I usually do. Kind of relying on it while I'm struggling a bit. My confession is I think it's a problem because w will now 1) ask me to turn the TV on, 2)look for the remotes so he can change the show and 3) yell no if a show is ending or he wants a different one. He's a bit too into it and I've definitely been leaning on it more than I like. Add in mom guilt for his lack of verbal skills and its not a good look right now.

Eh, M does all those things and I don't think we watch tv that much. I think it is good that he can communicate what he wants.
packmomma A does all of that too. We do TV most days. Usually only an hour. We don't ever do background TV because if the TV is on, she is actively watching it. But yeah, she asks about the TV all the time. Usually the answer is no, and depending on her mood she will either accept it or throw a fit.
He was just getting so intense about it that I was like "whoa I have fucked up". Thanks guys for letting me know he's just a toddler and I haven't totally screwed up by depending on TV when I'm struggling.

No way! TV is my saving grace when I'm trying to get meals ready and then after while I'm cleaning up! First thing A does when she gets up in the morning is ask for "Bubbles" (Bubble Guppies). Since they're not on at that time I'm usually in the clear
My h likes bubble guppies more than the kids taketheshot
packmomma, I think I turned out alright and I was/am a TV junkie. Seriously, no reason to feel bad. And those shows tend to use education so it's a win in my book.
