confessions? Stolen idea from another board.

How about a confessions post to break up our boring day?  No matter how big, small, silly...

I lied to the dentist about flossing.  I have been lazy with flossing, realized I had an appointment and started a few days before and of course my gums were bleeding when I flossed because of not doing it.  I googled causes of bleeding gums and one of them was taking asprin or ibuprophren.  I told her I was on ibuprophren.  I had to, otherwise she was going to make me do a deep cleaning that hurts and costs $200 instead of being free every 6 months for a regular cleaning.

I sneak wine.  FI rarely drinks and I feel judged if I drink it alone in front of him often.  Sometimes is ok, but some weeks I need it a few times and don't feel like getting the side eye, so I buy the little 4 packs and drink one at a time from a coffee cup and hide the empty bottles in an old purse.  I do this with shooters sometimes too :O  Then throw them away in the morning.

I cuss at the dog often (she is always bad) and tell her how bad she is and that she needs to get out of my face.  I usually feel bad and give her a treat a couple hours later, but she really is bad and pisses me off almost daily.  I also offer her a treat when she won't stop barking or something like that and when she stops to get a treat I say "sucks for you.  I lied because you are an a$$" and I don't give her one.

    Adawn, your poor dog. so mean!! ;) lol

    Hmm.. well, I sneak junk food. I give FI a hard time about eating healthy because his is just a lot of high fat stuff in the form of fast food, alcohol, soda, chips... but I'm a sugaraholic and I'll sneak candy and cookies/cake and eat it and not let him know. Total hypocrite and why I'm not losing weight! I know I have an actual problem, buuttt.. I'll deal with that later.

    When the animals do something bad I take the blame for it because FI gets so mad at them easily and I don't want him to do anything to them. He's old school about training and reprimanding so he still thinks its ok to hit the dogs butt or put their nose in their mess. Not ok and I've gotten him pretty much trained out of that, but still. I'm definitely the better animal owner!

    I'm a total B at work. I'm so irritated with SO many of my coworkers. Some of the women are just whiny and annoying and then all the guys I work with.. ugh. Let's just say I've perfected the stink eye.

  • I know Orange.  But she is SO bad!  I have never had/seen another dog as bad as she is.  I love animals so much, and I love her too, but she wears on my nerves...

    It's okay, Adawn. My dog pisses me off daily too. Have you tried a spray bottle when she barks? You're enabling her barking by presenting the treat. A friend of mine trained dogs and he reccomends the water sprayer for excessive barking.

    I had McDonalds for breakfast this morning: sausage egg and cheese biscut. I know I know not good, but my dog had me up at 3:50 this morning after he pooped on my bedroom carpet. His tummy was upset last week and it's just started up again, and the whole townhouse STANK because of it. So I was late getting ready this morning and had just HAD it so I got some comfort food.

    I'm on here when I should be working. But I just want the weekend to be here and don't want to make phone calls!

    I'm obsessed with the Recees eggs that come out this time of year and the convenient store next door to work has them. I've been buying one every other day behind FI's back. So good! I'll have to buy a couple of packs of them and stash them until I get more next year!

    And I'm going on a diet for 8 days next week. It's called Passover. I foresee a lot of matzoh in my future. I will miss pasta, and my sandwiches, very much. And I only cheat on Easter since FI is Catholic. And yes, I will enjoy cheating very much. Wouldn't want to offend my FILs now, would I? (even though they'd understand and would not be offended, lol)
  • I will try the water bottle!  Thanks :)  I even bought one of those little remotes that omits a high pitch noise that only dogs can hear.  It worked for about a week, now she just looks at me while I press the button.  I hope the spray bottle works because I have my doubts.  It sounds great - but my dog LOVES water.  Example - when I am in the shower and forget to lock the door, she JUMPS on the handle to let herself in and moves the shower curtain with her head and puts he head under the water.  Cute at first, not so much now.  If the dog was a human, she would be put in a rehabilitaion center for bad teens.  She is just that bad! LOL

  • hmm... this is a tough one. I can't really think of any confessions except for the fact that I may have to stuff on my wedding day.

    Have you considered a behaviorist for your dog? There are some really good ones. They tend to be pricey, but if you have the extra money it's worth it.

    We have considered that.  Her problem is that she is very, very protective.
    Once she knows you, she loves you, but if you are a stranger - forget it.  She had to be muzzled and laid on by the vet tech to get shots.  This is FI's dog - he said she was not like that as a puppy, she just got like that at about a year old.  She has never been abused or anything so I think something is just wrong in her head.  Walking her is scary because she barks so loud and growls at everything, even birds!  She has issues.  I would love to have someone treat her, but we can't even take her anywhere!  It would have to be a one on one type deal and we do not have the money for that right now. It's crazy that she is so sweet to us, but so mean to strangers.. she must have multiple personality disorder or something, honestly.

  • What breed of dog is she?  If you continue using the beeper, when she looks at you, get her to do something else like sit or lay down.  Anything but whatever she is doing.  If she does what she is supposed to do, give her a treat and a "gooooood giiirrrl!!"  :-)

    Luckily my dog is really good most of the time.  When she starts annoying me I take her to the dog park and make her run around for an hour.  "A tired dog is a good dog" and she looooves her exercise :-)  One hour at the dog park makes her sleep all day.  I don't like taking her in there with a lot of dogs, though, because a lot of owners don't really care how their dogs act.  We go early on Sundays (around 8am) so we can make sure we have the park pretty much to ourselves.  

    I can't wait to get a house(read: BACKYARD).  Good luck!

    Okay, now for my confession:

    We didn't stand up to FMIL enough and we should have cut the guest list even more.  We only have 109 guests so far and we're waiting to hear back from 55 or so.  I really hope we get a lot more no's!  We budgeted for 150 but I didn't think about including all of the vendor meals and it sounds like I'll have to cover anywhere from 15-20 vendor meals.  Ughhh...I'm tempted to just get one of those huuuge subs from Subway but I feel like it'd be rude to not feed the vendors the same thing as the guests.  
  • Thx! Ill try that too. She is a black lab mix. She looks part pit bull or boxer maybe because of her size and head shape. She is being good and lovey at the moment so I have been loving on her and playing with her. When she barks like that again, probably in a couple of hours, ill pull the beeper out and try that. Thx!
