Friday confessions

[klongoria11]

I'll eat all the oysters. MH introduced me to them a couple years ago and soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

But, I don't think that's a "confession" Sunny41, more of a UO.

Here is one that is hork-worthy (that's your warning!)

I was changing the cover on C's changing pad last night. When I pulled up the changing pad, I noticed a dried up turd on the changing table! It had somehow been stuck in between the pad and the table and I have no idea how long it had been there!

I've been so bored in my job lately I've been looking for other positions. I love my boss and job when it's busy but these slow times are killing my soul. I doubt I would ever find something with the flexibility I need right now but I still look.

I also have a good bit of downtime at my job. BUT I really value the flexibility right now while my kids are so little.

I bought V's Easter candy too early and now I'm eating it

I'm also burying my head @nam. It's sad and I feel a lot of guilt about it but I worry my mental health can't take it.

I don't think anyone should feel guilty about this because A) you care enough to be disturbed and B) you probably are both people who vote, research before voting, and do your best to vote both in your own best interest and in the interest of your country.

That's something and that matters.

Chase still nurses right before bed and he could probably wean in a couple evenings if I really pushed it. But I haven't. DH gets him up in the mornings and now that he doesn't nurse in the a.m., I feel like I never see my baby. I need to wean before we go away next month but I'm just not feeling motivated.

I'm a well educated well read woman, who likes to stay on top of the news, politics etc. The news at the moment is so horrific that I'm often actively avoiding it these days. I'm feeling a little bit ashamed and guilty about burying my head in the sand.

You have nothing to feel guilt about.

Your country didn't elect an authoritarian maniac. We have a front row seat for WWIII and our country is being led by a mentally unstable, supremely unqualified toddler.

I'd trust Atticus with an atomic bomb more than I trust in this fucking madman.

JoeLies I loved that evening nursing moment (and first morning ones) such a quiet sweet time. How long is your trip? Maybe you can just resume nursing after ☺.

I'll be gone 9 nights, and by that point, it'll have been 2 months of him ONLY nursing at night. I'm honestly surprised my supply hasn't totally tanked already - Col lasted less than a week once we dropped to once a day. He had no patience for the slower flow and popped off to yell. LOL, boy has already been very vocal about his food.

I would rather watch Caillou than Paw Patrol

I really want to flame you with gifs right now, but I don't know how to gif.

[klongoria11]

I like all the Disney stuff, possibly more than Cadence and I love that she is finally interested in watching some of the movies.

[cagoldi]

I pay hardly any attention to the story line in Dude's shows. Except Peppa, because each episode is only a few minutes and I actually kind of like them.

[wineallthetime]

I have no feels about Disney since I've never been a movie person and never got into them.

I do find it weird when grown ups are obsessed. MH's cousin (who is in her late 20s with no kids) has Disney everything. Room decor, tattoos, jewelry, ect. It's weird.

I have strong feelings about people putting their pets names on birth announcements or wedding invitations. (Again probably an UO, but trying to get the thread going 😉)

I still feel tremendous guilt when my kids are at the sitter's and I'm not at work. Even now, battling the stomach bug, it runs through my head "I probably could have kept them with me" luckily sanity trumped my guilt today.

You might be broken. I have zero guilt when I'm in a quiet home and the kid is in school. It's the best.

Yeah, I don't go that far!

People do this?

I have put their names on Christmas cards before...but they were in the picture, so I had to include their names.

We totally put Sinny's name and picture in our Christmas card/birth announcement this year.

No shame.

You had to know I'd be the one to do this, right? 😉

[klongoria11]

Kid-less home for a day or two, I'm fine with. Longer than that, I'm pretty sure I would get bored.

[cagoldi]

Oh, oh!!

I have one!

I'm going gluten-free. Maybe for only a couple weeks, but I'm not telling anyone except you, my mom, and Pete. Even if I decide to do it forever, I'm still mostly going to keep quiet about it because I don't want to contribute to the confusion that vegan =/= GF.

You're rolling your eyes at me, I know. It's cool. I'm rolling my eyes at myself.

[tallblonde]

cagoldi hope GF goes well! I would say let me know if you have questions, but I have no idea how to be GF and vegan. I've found most people have no idea what gluten is. I've had people say things are GF bc something is organic, ask if I can have dairy, etc.

I don't care about eye rollers when I say I am GF. No I'm not celiac, but I will be about to pass out and running to a bathroom after I eat some by mistake.

[tallblonde]

I have one. My bff from college had her baby girl 4 days after n. She went back to work last week for 2 days a week until the end of the school year, and then is taking off next year. I literally have negative sympathy for her. I've been back for 2+ months full time plus dealing with the current disaster that is my life.

She has been great and sent flowers and care packages, so I do feel a bit like a b, just couldn't get the sympathy flag up for her last week.

You and me both, girl!

I think you can have an intolerance though without being Celiac, right?

I'm just trying to lose weight and it's easy to avoid processed food if I do GF also. My Rheumatologist did say if there is an intolerance it can worsen my fibro symptoms and he will test me soon, but I figure why not just see if I feel better doing it?

So I'm still high carb low fat but doing all plant-based Whole Foods. I do feel great but I think it will take a bit for my taste buds to adjust.

I'm not wanting to mention it outside this group because there are already enough people who think eating a vegan diet means you're vegan, or that it's *only* a diet.

Okay, mine are weird...

I miss the smell of H's hands before he kept them open all the time. I would be able to smell it when he ate and opened his hands on my chest.

I also like the smell of his feet when he's been wearing socks all day.

It took me two reads to realize you meant your son and not your husband. Lol!

Well that WOULD have been really weird.
