This is in relation to the discussion re FB group,knowing who people are, etc.
I don't care if anyone googles my life. Maybe I should? But I just don't. I'm not famous, but I put myself out there a lot for promoting agriculture and whatnot, so I'm not really hiding anything.
FFFC: LO has been crapping her diaper at 1-2 am lately, which is the worst. She screams and crawls away while I try to change her and wakes everyone in the house up. Just now I ALMOST decided to leave it until morning. I guess it's not really confession worthy because I caved and changed her. Why can't you poop in the day, kid?!
I know people have been googled before and have had things sent to their workplace, so...I get it. I do. People are weird.
FFFC, I let LO watch TV. It's only Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street, but yeah. I'm usually right next to her singing the songs or responding to Daniel anyway.
I share a name with a former Miss Galaxy Nova so I'm not even the first thing that pops up when you good my name. I don't even think I'd be in the top 5(although I was in the Pittsburgh paper,a national paper, and on a tv show called the pulse with Shepard Smith, which doesn't exist anymore, about my brothers death) so I don't care if someone googles me.
FFFC: We haven't used real dishes, utensils, or cups in months. When we moved into our current apartment we knew we would be moving out within 6-9 months so we just never unpacked them and use disposables.

No flames here, but in my family that would be a huge deal! My parents keep pushing for us to use disposables during our "all family" vacations, but some people are so into recycling/composting/no-waste/etc that they get really upset at even the idea of that! My BIL goes through his garbage to save things that could be recycled or composted before he throws it away (they live with my parents, who apparently miss things!)

I actually hate that we use disposables, it makes me feel bad, but it's just so much easier. We also haven't recycled since moving into our current place. They don't have a recycle program and again I'm just super lazy about it. Things will be different once we move into our house.
pghtruelove I'm so sorry you lost your brother, don't answer if you don't want to but just wondering how he died? My eldest brother died 10 years ago.
Thank you. It was 14 years ago and I'm at peace with it. He died from a heroin overdose. I'm so sorry about yours too. It's hard and really sucks to lose a sibling.
@hazeldublin I really hope I never have to feel that pain. I watched my parents go through that and it destroyed my family. My dad passed 2 years later and my mom a few after that after I had to watch her battle Alzheimer's.
I google myself every so often to make sure nothing I wouldn't want on the internet somehow pops up, I'm a pretty boring search as well.
My fffc - I'm legit superstitious. Not crazy to the point of it affecting daily activities, but to the point where I came thisclose to asking for a different room at the hospital when I found out we were in room 13 to deliver DS. Also, I will never ever ever talk about baby sleep unless directly asked if its going well, because I'm positive I will jinx it.
Loveeeee that game but I absolutely refuse to ask people for "lives" so I had to stop playing:( there's a Frozen version called free fall that I love to play. I'm up to like lever 300 ::sheepish grin::

Well hello ladies. I migrained hard last night and passed out on several medications. I just woke up, caught up, and googled myself. Google assumes, like everyone else my whole life, that I've spelled my own name incorrectly, and corrects it for me. Apparently there's a semi-famous actress who shares my mis-spelled name, so I'm safe. I've been tempted by FOMO over to the creepy side. PMing you, pghtruelove .
ETA this wasn't a confession. post placement fail.
I let my kids jump on the bed. Another "bad mom" moment from me
This has been a normal everyday occurrence ever since visiting my family over Christmas. My little brother taught DD to cannonball. DH's rule is no cannonballs on the furniture, only on the bed.
I knew before I even opened this thread that the Google issue would be one of the first confessions. Quick backstory on that, a Facebook friend of mine (someone I knew since elementary school but don't have any other contact with now) googled my bosses name because he was representing her cousin on a very scandalous molestation allegation. My name came up in a news article about him and so she contacted me via PM asking questions about her cousin's case. It made me uncomfortable and I immediately directed her to contact my boss. It's not that big of a deal but since just yesterday I was discussing specifics about a case, it just occurred to me that was a possibility. In general I don't care if anyone googles my name, I personally don't have anything to hide. But I do need to watch what I say, especially since my name is uncommon.

I remember that from back on the dump! Didn't she call her work or something? What was that even about?
tiffbot have you noticed one of beat bo's songs sounds really like pup pup boogie from paw patrol, I end up singing pup pup boogie for the rest of the day when it comes on.
We actually haven't gotten into Paw Patrol in our house yet!

My confession is lame - I wish my coworker would retire already, or call out sick more often. I can't TCF even when I finish my work b/c she grills me.
I don't look for more work to keep busy. I do my shit in spurts, usually very intensely, and then need breaks to regroup. She perseverates all day long on one sentence.
There was a "Jesus is coming" lady on the train today talking about how HE is coming, and we don't know when, or how, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, and he loves us all, etc etc etc. It was 8 am for god sakes, and I'll I wanted to say was, "but what if we're jewish?" She wouldn't have gotten the joke? I'm all for practicing your religion but those preachers drive me bonkers.
Mine I think is more UO than FFFC, but there was no post yesterday and I just thought of it now anyway.
Beat Bo, his dance moves, and his music still cracks me up even a month and a half in of ownership. That guy's got some moves.
Scandalous.
My in laws got the Beat Bo for M, too. My FFFC, I'm not sure how to fix that toy and the fisher price bear. They start singing the songs, but stop in the middle and fade out. I changed the batteries- is there something I'm not doing?
I just googled myself and found my MySpace. I don't remember updating that to my married name. But there's nothing exciting unless you count my baby registries and my pinterest. Good, my teacher self is safe.

Is it on the test instead of "on"?
Haha. Is there a switch between on and off that I missed?!

One of my favorite sayings, stolen from the ever eloquent Joe Dirt "is this where you wanna be when Jesus comes back?" I say it to DH a lot when he is doing something dumb "DH, is this where you wanna be when Jesus comes back? Picking at your gross man feet after Ive asked you 3 times to do the dishes"
FFFC: I actually miss Myspace. I liked it more than Facebook because you could customize it to your personality more. I feel like all Facebook is now is just a place for people to write what happens to them to gain sympathy or to AW their selfies or baby pics. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the baby pics, but I really don't need to see 10 pics everyday from the same person... (not talking about our FB page, but FB in general)
I wish I could delete my myspace account. I tried to a couple of years ago and gave up. I was not as smart about social media back then as I am now. Too many pictures of me scantily clad and drinking, etc.
jessila how are you holding up? Thinking of you and your family
I'm (insert long awkward pause with heavy sigh) alright. It definitely comes in waves. Typically nighttime is the worst. I know that it will get better with time. I go back to work next week which means my mom starts watching O next week. She thinks she's ready so I'm going to trust her. There is a network of people who are ready to jump in and help at a moments notice. O has been a really good distraction for all of this. I also have to take care of myself because he needs me. He is also such a happy baby that it's hard to be around him and not be happy with him.

@hazeldublin, Not eating any later than usual, but we do BLW so I think that she's starting to get more. She doesn't poop in the day, at all. Saves it all up for a massive 2 am treat. Ugh!
