[QUOTE]DNB - my best friend's H is in the Marines and she felt exactly the same way when he came home from his first tour overseas.  No matter how much you missed him, you got into a routine being on your own and now it's being disrupted.

<div>Thanks.  I have heard that it's pretty common to feel that way.  I can't imagine what it will be like to have kids and have routines with them get disrupted.  I probably would be a lot more vocal then about what he needs to do and not do.  The greatness of having him home definitely outweighs the annoying parts, but it is frustrating at the time.  </div>

As an Army brat dnb I can confirm it is extremely common to feel that way. It's hard to adjust both when they leave and when they come back.

[QUOTE]<strong>Wow, Opal, that A&A thread was... special.  I'm religious too, but my prayers aren't going towards Chinese copies of designer dresses.  Sorry</strong>. My confession:  NFP isn't hard, but I miss the nice by-products of the BCP.

I'm a *religious* person too (I dislike that word actually, I'm a spiritual person and a believer in Jesus), and although some issus are trivial, and I get annoyed at some prayers too, but I don't think God is up there rolling HIS eyes.  We are all His children, and I don't think any prayer is a wasted prayer to Him.  To us, yeah.

We all  make mistakes, and rush to God to "fix them."  I've been there plenty of times- thinking I know what I'm doing, I've got it, going with my heart instead of using the brains God's given me.

[QUOTE]Why don't you invite THEM out? I went out for drinks on Friday with a random woman from work. It was nice to do somethng different :)
Posted by louisvillebride21[/QUOTE]

I do and they're always "busy" :-/

I emailed to see if any of them want to do another happy hour. During the week usually isn't hard, but it's impossible to get them to want to hang out on the weekends.

dnb Mr P travels all the time, and nearly every time he's home for a long stretch I start asking "when is your next trip?". It's like "Go away so I can miss you again!" Totally normal. Right now he's been home FOREVER. But he's going away next week and is even gone for the weekend and I'm not sorry to say I'm excited.

FutureMrsTR

Also?  I confess that as much as I complained about H being unemployed, I miss having him at my beck and call, doing the dishes, grocery shopping and making dinners.  I mean, we couldn't afford for him not to work so it's a moot point, but it was nice.  I need a sisterwife.  Georgia?  Kiki?  Manda?  I know y'all are down.

Birdie1483

I confess I saw on FB last week that my high school ex-bf had a baby and I wondered how long he'd stay with the baby momma before they broke up and doubted if he'd really be a good dad because of how much of a douchnozzle he is. ::puts on judgy hat::

[QUOTE]I have one really good friend here. She's moving next month to Georgia and then I won't have any friends that live close by.

What part of GA is she moving to? God, I hope its not Augusta b/c this place sucks a big one.

Oh, okay. It is probably much better there than it is here.

Oh, that's where I went to high school. Tell her to stay away from anything near Ft. Benning.

I confess that I felt really bad about being a biitch in the A&A thread.

I also confess that I don't have any friends either. I am excited, however, for the bparty that was the thing that initally caused me to confess my lack of friends a few or so ago. I am ready to reach out and meet people but maybe that just comes with time. I dunno.

I confess that there is some major baby mama drama going down on facebook and I am loving it.

Ciaram22

I want to kick this baby out. I'm ready to be not pregnant anymore. I'm tired of feeling like I'm pulling a muscle every time I roll over, needing help getting up out of furniture. I'm just ready to hold him and love him.

missy68

I am also a bit irrationally irritated at J because he's kept me up each night this week with his cold. He comes to bed and turns on the TV, which 85-90% of the time, I don't see or hear. But, then he starts coughing, and blowing his nose, and coughing again. Last night was AWFUL. I know I was awake for 2 hours.

I felt bad for him but I really wanted to move to the other bedroom. I am a non-functioner if I don't sleep well or 7-8 hours. I know he feels bad about it, but it still made me feel cranky.

And then I feel bad for feeling irritated.

I confess I have about 600 wedding pictures, and I plan on burning them in a bonfire sometime soon.

Also, I confess that I want knottie fb friends, but I would feel like a creeper if I requested someone.

And also. I got asked on a date, but I'm a chicken and I don't know that I want to go. So we'll see.

missy68

Sara, I tore the ex out of all but maybe 3 of them. I didn't keep but maybe 10, and most of those were of me with my family (no way to cut/tear him out of those) and my girls (one of whom has passed away). I also saved them because I had lost about 150 pounds from when those photos were taken so it was eye opening to look back at them.
Plus, he looked like a penishead.

NuggetBrain

I confess errytime I see Winston in Mandy's sig pic I want to steal him away.  And I imagine him going "Hm. Who the hell are you anyways?" in that picture.

I confess I'm starting to get really nervous about my Mexico trip, because the other girl I'm going with is 5 foot 10 and skinny and pretty, and I'm going to feel like the short squat chick since I've gained about 20 pounds since the wedding.  I went swimsuit shopping at Macy's last weekend and I got so upset at how I looked in all the suits that I started crying in the changing room and had to leave the mall. And I'm afraid that my body issues are going to ruin the trip for both me and Noodle, even though I know that he won't care, and neither will they.

Maybe that is what is wrong with this town. They only have Ft. Gordon and the Master's which comes once a year.

I'll probably keep the ones of me and my family/bffs. But the rest? FIREFUEL.

Hey! Things are good. I'm having a blast being back home with everyone. I've had a few rough days, but for the most part I've been great. I'm going to be filing annulment papers soon, as soon as I can get them all filled out. How are you?

[Deleted User]

I'm good. My H and I are actually headed home this weekend for his interview. We are praying it will be the offer as well. We are likely moving back within the next month or so, so I am super pumped for that. It will be so nice to be close to all of our family and friends again. My little sister misses me tremendously and she is so freaking excited that we are moving back.

How exciting! I'll keep my fingers crossed for an offer for your H! Where is home?

[Deleted User]

Thanks so much, Sara. We are both originally from central Ohio.

I just can't wait until Monday. We are moving back regardless b/c we are both done with this place and he is done with his job here, but it would definitely be much better if one or both of us had a job to go back to. I also have 2 interviews on Monday. I am not too worried if I don't land anything just yet, but I am just putting some feelers out there and doing some networking since we have been away for 2 yrs.

I didn't say I'd move back.... I enjoyed it because I enjoyed high school for the most part, except for one asshole and a couple of cheerleaders. And Victory Drive near Columbus? A haven for hookers, and all sorts of stuff. I couldn't think of the street name earlier. Columbus has improved over the years - they've put a lot of work into the historical area and the waterworks and waterfront area (the Chattahoochie River).

MissySue, you <strong>definitely </strong>ought to take a weekend trip to Callaway Gardens. I suspect the azaleas down there are in bloom, since the Master's is happening, and it is breathtaking. They have a butterfly garden, and a country store, which happens to be where I ordered my grits from (they're absolutely the best out there). <a href="http://www.callawaygardens.com/">http://www.callawaygardens.com</a>

[QUOTE]Thanks Fish. I'm ignoring it until I forget about it. I'll feel like a meanie face if I straight up deny. I'm a baby.
Posted by SarahR11[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure that the other party is not able to see whether or not you deny the request, only that you have not accepted it.  The only way they know you accepted is via a notification.

So you can deny all you want, and they never know that.  They just know you haven't accepted, which seems less harsh.
