These are my confessions...

I don't know that anyone's around to participate, so this could end up being a huge flop/LJ thing instead, but here goes

1. I'm down w/ the ten second rule. If I drop food on the floor, I'm probably going to eat it, unless the floor is really, really dirty. Gross, I know.

2. I wish we could just JOP it and call it a day. If I wasn't scared of how my family would react, we would.

3. I feel like I've lost sight of myself lately. I've gotten really good at being "us" and have kind of shoved "me" to the side. I know I need to change that, pronto, but don't even know where to begin.

Re: These are my confessions...

  • I'll play :)
    I've never wanted kids.  Ever.  Since I was young, I've always told people I didn't want to have children.  Now I kinda do.  We're not really TTC, but we're not doing much to prevent it.  I'm really nervous I'll end up pregnant before my SIL (who I am very close to) who has been trying for 2 years.  I think it would send her over the edge.

  • I'm avoiding my mother right now because her depression is too much for me sometimes. And sometimes she gripes and I tell her how to solve the problem, and she doesnt do it. Just continues to b*tch. I can only handle so much if you're  not willing help yourself.

  • I confess that I've been avoiding talking to my family the last few days. Not because I don't want to, but because I'm homesickm and I know I'll cry if I do. Lame, I know.

  • I'll confess too. I'm afraid that this wedding won't happen and I kinda resent my fiance for it. He's a sailor and I wanna have a really nice wedding but it looks like he's gonna be out to sea for 65% of the year. We wanted to start planning for may of next year but now we can't cause he has too much going on, now I'm hoping for an august wedding but now I'm so discouraged that I've stopped planning. Looking at all these beautiful wedding ideas and wishing I could at least get started, makes me wanna cry.
  • Confession- I'm really liking this sahw thing and so is my husband. Sept is going to suck.
  • Katie - I'll agree with that confession 1000x over.

     I have LOVED being a SAHW for the past year.  I think H is i for a big surprise when I finally start working again.  Dinner at 5:30 and a clean house when you get home...bwahahaha... kiss those days good-bye!

  • Yeah. I've been doing so much around the house, and Dh is greeted at the door by me and the dog, dinner on the table, and nothing he has to get done. Once I'm back at work he's going to be home first so he has to deal with all the fur-babies and our house won't be nearly as clean. The other day he told the dog "I need a better job so we can make this permanent."
  • Sigh, yeah.  H had the better job that allowed us to make it permanent, but he decided he wanted to be "home" in Australia and stop living like a vagabond.  So now, I must find a job again.

    Do you have FB?  I'll sed you a PM.

  • Alright.
    1. I use to be baby crazy, just like a year ago (or less)... now thinking about having a baby right now makes me feel insane and queesy, and I don't think I can handle it.. now... or soon. MIL pushes it like crazy and it makes me want to punch her! 

    2. I start my real-post-grad-school-with-benefits-40-hour-a-week job on Monday and I am scared out of my mind.

    3. I chop the moldy part of vegetables and use the rest (ie onions, green peppers). Is that super gross?

  • I confess that since FI and I have gained weight I don't think I am attractive in anyway. FI gets mad when I say this but I wish I could see what he see but I can't.

    I am thinking about pushing the wedding back even farther. We've been engaged over a year now and have a date set for June 2012 but we are so unsure of what we want that I think pushing it back would be great. I know I don't need 2 years to plan the wedding but I am unsure of what I want.

    I used to say I didn't want to have children and part of the reasoning is because of my health. FI wants to have children and we agreed that we would. I want to wait at least 8-10years. I am only 22 and FI is 25 so I think that would be good for us and FI keeps saying he wants to start sooner.
  • my confession is that i want to punch my FI in the face everytime he tells me how much he's lost every week! i'm happy for him, but my weight won't shift!  and i'm frustrated as hell and extremely jealous! :-(
  • I'll play!

    1) When I read the Post Title, I totally started singing Usher in my head.. :p

    2) I'm so stressed out with life, that when I think about having to actually CHOOSE something for the Wedding, I cry. I have so many ideas.. I just can't ultimately decide. But now that my Grandma is sick, I'm kind of glad we haven't put any deposits down..

    3) I hate my job. I mean, despise it. It makes me physically ill to think, "I have to be back there, in 12 hours." I can't quit, haven't found another job that is WORTH my leaving this one, and FI makes NO money, so SAHW / F isn't going to work.

    4) FI keeps threatening to hide my BC, and I laugh cuz I can't wait to be a Mom, but secretly I'm terrified that if we have a child right now, with our financials so screwed up, he and I won't make it.. And that scares me to death.

    Yes, exactly, me too.  I definitely regret my chosen career path.  Kinda stuck now though.  I really think I need Xanax or something.  no joke.  my job is making me a crazy, whiny bitch.  i can't believe my H hasn't told me to shut up with the complaining.

  • i'll play too!
    1- Fi is leaving Monday for a camping trip with his sons, im both sad and happy to have the alone time.
    2- I'm very excited for my sister's wedding.. but admit that i'm a little jealous as well.
    3- I work from home, which definitely has it perks.. but wishes i was a better house cleaner. my house is clean... but not spotless.

  • Allright....

    My FI's job is nuts right now, and will be for the next month, so we've twice had to reschedule our pre- pre-cana interview with the priest who'll marry us.  It's making me a little batty because we need to do this in order to get a ceremony date, so I feel like the entire wedding's being held hostage.  Plus, I have to go back to work in a month, after which both our schedules will be more crammed.

    I feel like a selfish B because it's certainly not my FI's fault that things are crazy at work.  I'm putting on a supportive, happy face, but I also just...want to get the show on the road, I guess.

    I sort of feel the same way.. I'm working at a dead end job (Information Booth at the Mall) because after I was laid off in 2008, I coudn't find a job for over a year. FI and I were literally starving. We didn't have gas to go to a food bank and get food, let alone buy food.. I got this job, and figured, I'll work through Christmas, everything will be fine.. Nah. Still here.
    I'm going back to school (Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education), so for now Part-Time is working for me, but I'd much rather be cleaning Bathrooms at Target. Ick.
    Oh and FI DEFINITELY told me to stop B**ching about work. So, I did.. Lol.
  • I've been bitchy lately. Poor DH. Last night we went out and it just all came out - all the things I'm frustrated about. I feel so bad, because I was brutally honest about things like our sex life and how I feel like we're not a team sometimes when it comes to money. I am so lucky to have him as my husband, but I feel like I forgot that just because I love him doesn't mean everything is perfect.
