Confessions

ShesSoCold · August 2015

I feel like it's been a while and I like these. What's your confession today or recently?

I was at home from work with a migraine on Monday and I'm trying to make up the hours so I can get my full 40 and not use PTO. I've definitely been working a lot during these 10+ hour days, but I have also been doing way too much knotting.

I'm also a little salty at H for going out of town with his friend tomorrow. We discussed it and agreed to it, but I still feel like we can't afford it. But I'm going out of town twice this winter for football and hockey. So I need to get over it.

A lady is here for a closing and came out of the closing room and whipped her boob out to feed her baby in the lobby, no cover or anything. My confession is is that it made me really uncomfortable, even though it makes me feel bad that I felt weirded out by it.

The other day I discovered, now that we combined accounts, that DH in the last month has had over $2100 debited from his account by the Obama care insurance he was supposed to cancel in June 2014.

My confession is that he was lucky he was asleep at the time bc I was flipping out and had time to settle by the time he got up.

FI wants to buy that new pair of converse that came out for his weight lifting, I'd rather he put any extra money he has towards paying of his student loans. He logged on yesterday to find out they had sold out of his size already, DARN!

I'm sure I'll get flack for this, but I'm with you. I just really don't want to see this. I don't like it and the suckling noise babies can make at times has made me gag before. Bleh.

Ughhhhh I hear ya. When H and I combined finances, he had $675 in overdraft fees on one year. It wasn't that he was broke, he just wasn't paying attention. So frustrating to just throw away money.

I keep saying that I will get to my "to do" list tomorrow (started this on Monday), it is now Thursday and so far this week after work all I have done is watch True Blood, take the dog on walks, and read.

thisismynickname2 · August 2015

My confession is that I have spent WAY too much time (some on personal time, some on um work time) reading Divergent trilogy fan fiction.

Look, Allegiant was depressing and someone named Windchimed wrote a far better third installment called Determinant- One Choice Will Change Everything. It's SO much better! The same author also rewrote a lot of Divergent from Four's point of view, and she's written a lot on Tris and Four's life after the war.

Did you need a time-suck? You're welcome.

My SO just got a new job which requires him to be gone about 4 nights out of the week and he'll have it for the next two years or so. I anticipated that him being gone so much would make me super bummed out (it does). Buuuuut...confession: it's kind of awesome to sit at home in my jammies at night stuffing my face with chips n' salsa instead of real dinner, marathoning Supernatural over and over, and playing Civilization V for HOURS on end.

I bought a family size bag of Hershey's kisses and ate the whole thing over two and a half days. #sorrynotsorry

I sat on the couch last night and ate chocolate chips directly out of the 5lb Costco bag of Chipits.... I don't even want to estimate how much I ate...

Heh, my FI travels for work almost weekly, he started about 3 years ago, about 6 months after I moved in with him. At first I was super bummed, but quickly realized it's kind of awesome. I just have to do a mad scramble on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings (depending when he comes home) to get the house back in order and hide evidence of my laziness. He's been home now for about 3 weeks in between gigs (he's an IT consultant) and part of me is kinda like "ummm can you go back on the road again please? I need to catch up on my Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries on Netflix".

OliveOilsMom · August 2015

H just asked for permission to spend $5 on lunch (we both usually pack), I did say yes, but also didn't tell him that I spent $4.50 for lunch on Monday and $6.30 for lunch yesterday. Whoops! I need to get back on that lunch packing horse!

This time of year DH works every day and night. I barely see him. It gets old having dinner every night together. Always taking care of the dogs, house, etc.

Then in the spring and fall he is home EVERY DAY. It okay the first week or so, then I'm like "isn't there someone you need to cook for?

In the winter he works 4 nights a week. That is my favorite schedule. I get 3 nights with him, 4 nights to myself. I get to watch all my shows, eat what I want. Nice balance.

4 nights might be a lot, but I would secretly love this too. I've been gone a lot recently doing a theatre show, so I can't remember the last time I was alone in the house. I would adore a few nights of doing whatever I wanted without H judging how much time I spend playing my stupid cellphone game. And I have so much tv to catch up on!

Oh yeah this too. I play so much Candy Crush and Alpha Betty when FI isn't around. While watching Miss Fisher.

anjemon · August 2015

I started my diet this week. I'm hoping losing some weight will stop the frequent snoring (which will stop the unhappiness from H about not sleeping). But I'm planning to stop at Raising Kane's tonight and get chicken. It sounds amazing and I'm never over on that side of the city.

We are opposites! I am the IT consultant and my FI is the one who never travels. I can tell sometimes when I have a long time between projects he starts to be like...."Baby I love you but my shows are starting to pile up on the DVR...."

LOL I just tell him to get over it. When he spends 10 months out of the year on a Monday-Thrusday travel schedule then he can complain.

As it is I will be moving from my current role to a new one soon. I will be working full time from home. So I go from gone all the time to home all the time. Big adgustments coming up fast!

ShesSoCold · August 2015

I'm looking forward to being home alone for a week while H is out of town. He sometimes works overnights and it's kind of nice sometimes. But I can definitely see how this would get hard after a while.

I'm also debating on whether or not I will use his time away to get back in a workout schedule or eat my face off.

DH's normal job is M-F 6:30am-3:30pm. During the school year, DH works part time cleaning a high school in the afternoon/evening and he also takes classes 2 nights a week. So, during that time he'll usually get home around 6:30pm, except 2 nights a week, when he has class, he gets home around 9pm. During the summer he's home by 4pm and I work until 5pm, so he's home before me. For most of the year, those couple hours after work were my time to exercise, read books, and/or catch up on tv. I can't read when he's home because he wants to talk as soon as I pick up a book. He gets cranky and annoyed when I watch some tv shows (particularly Big Bang Theory). And I've completely lost my exercise routine and motivation with him around. It's been nice having more time with him for the last couple months, but I really miss my alone time and can't wait for him to start school in 2 weeks.

NowIamMrsKlein · August 2015

FI and I did 1.5 years of only seeing each other 5 days a month so after we moved in together I absolutely HATED when he had to do an over night trip or go away for a couple days because I still had that weird mental block that when he left it meant I wouldnt get to see him forever.

Now he probably does 2-3 overnights a month and I immensely look forward to them. Wine and trash TV!

He's gone for 2 weeks at the end of the month (Once a year Pilots have to go to a simulator course to review emergency procedures. Last year it was in NYC, this year in LA. Lucky Bugger). I'm looking forward to some me time for sure, although with it being so close to wedding time I'm a little nervous about something wedding related popping up that I have to deal with without him

Confession: I had a Coffee Crisp for breakfast... and Smarties for lunch.

lyndausvi · August 2015

Confession I wanted a BLT with tomatoes from the garden. I was out of "L" and doubled up the "B". Basically I had a bacon sandwich with some tomato. It was really good though.

Yeah, I secretly love my nights without DH. He is gone Mon-Wed every week for work and those are the nights that I:
1. Eat dinner on the couch while watching Game of Thrones (which DH doesn't like - WTF?!?)
2. Have dates with my girlfriends
3. Stay up late and sleep in in the morning

He's actually looking for a new job so he will be with me every night and part of me is thrilled with that but part of me is also like "what's the rush?" I guess we all need a little alone time but I guess we're newlyweds so I don't feel like I deserve to demand this quite yet. That'll probably change, soon.

That is a legitimate sandwich in our family. Toasted bacon and tomato. I want one now.

The first time J had to be away from home after we were married was awful. I wore his tshirt to bed and cried a lot. Now it's like 'oh, you need to be away for a couple of nights? Gosh, that's too bad. Want me to pack for you?' I still wear his tshirt to bed, but more out of tradition now. He's going to be gone tomorrow night and Saturday. I will be packing books and finally watching the last of OITNB. And eating roasted veggies.

My confession is that I only have 13 shifts left before we move, and I'm almost at the point of not even pretending to do office work any more. It's called FIIL syndrome here - fuck it, I'm leaving.

Oh for sure, I never actually tell him to get a move on haha! And it is nice he's home because I don't have to rush home after work to let the dogs out (so I can run errands after work instead of packing them in on weekends), or he can deal w/ our builder's workers who come over to fix things on the house. I do start to be a little like "wtf" when he starts complaining he's bored just sitting at home without a lot of work from home work to do. I should tell him "get out the vacuum then" when he starts complaining haha!

sarahufl · August 2015

H leaves town a lot for work and my MIL always asks if I want to come stay with them or if I want them to come spend the night. I always politely refuse partially because I think it is ridiculous that they don't think a woman can be home alone, but partly because I like being alone. I had mac & cheese and Ben & Jerry's for dinner the other night, on the couch, binging on Netflix. It was glorious.

Also, my confession- I've been binging on Netflix. At work. Instead of working.

I am clearly a responsible adult over here.

WinstonsGirl · August 2015

Damn all you chocolate eaters. Now I'm totally craving. And I might just go grab something.

wandajune6 · August 2015

I miss Miss Fisher's Mysteries. I haven't watched them since DH graduated. I miss his night school schedule.

Also, I just weaseled out of a previously-scheduled happy hour this evening. I just want to go home and attack the pint of Cherry Garcia I have hidden in the back of the freezer.

I watched like 6 episodes straight while assembling my invitations. I can get FI to watch some of "my" shows with me, but no way would he go for Miss Fisher LOL
