flameful friday!!

[snickers]

On the nights my DH falls asleep on the coach watching hockey, my back feels great. Even the next day there is no pain. On the nights he makes it to bed, my back freaking kills me all night and the next day. I feel bad about it, and I do not have the heart to tell him.

For most people, it just relaxes you. You're still fairly alert and completely awake. Once they're done, they flush your system with oxygen and by the time you get out of the chair and walk out the door you feel completely normal. Of course, there are people who have a bad reaction to it, but I've seen it make a really significant positive difference for adults with dental anxiety. I've never had it myself, but I've helped treat a lot of patients on it and they don't act high, they just act calmer.


My one recommendation would be to not eat much for about two hours prior, because in some people it can cause some stomach upset.

Thanks Pixie!  I hate being this anxious.  I really hope this tooth removal clears up a lot of my flu-like symptoms.

Not a problem! I know how you feel. I almost cancelled my appointment when I got my wisdom teeth removed. The only reason I actually ended up going was because I got an infection in my gums that abscessed. But don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions or need any support. I've assisted with more extractions than I could count, with and without nitrous.

For the first time, I'm ready to start a fb war over this quote from a former cw:

"abortion is the sacrifice that our religion of selfishness requires."

I feel myself slowing bubbling over with rage over this comment and I'm not sure I can hold it in, but I know it's pointless to start debating this on fucking fb

I realized today that I am probably the second most boring person I know.

Who's the first?

And I'm really boring too.  I'm ok with it but the hardest question I was asked when I was interviewing for a new job was what my interests are.  I didn't want to say watching TV, playing with my kids and GBCN.

[walterismydog]

@jezebel, I don't think you are boring.

Sometimes I wish my life were a little more boring. It's seriously kind of insane. I never chill, I never have downtime, I'm always GO GO GO. I don't even know how to relax anymore, even when I'm doing relaxing things. I haven't spent more than 10 minutes in my house (other than when I'm working or sleeping) in months. :/

Mine:
I feel like I'm supposed to say things like, "When I go back to work..." since I'm a SAHM but truthfully, I have no plan or desire to get one. I was a teacher but don't think I want to go back. The feminist in me cringes at the thought, but I kind of feel like I accidentally got my MRS. degree from college, and I'm ok with it. I worked my tail off in HS, busted my butt at a top university, and now.... well, now I have the life I want but it's simply because I met a great guy in college with greater earning potential than I'll ever have. I get to SAH, go to the gym every day, learn to cook healthy meals, and hang out with (mom) friends. We aren't rolling in it, but we're comfortable and I still have Starbucks money, so.... I am not leaning in, that's for sure!

If you're happy that's all that matters. Besides, it's not like going to college is only about getting a job. Can't people educate themselves just for the sake of being educated? 

[Captain Serious]

nicanmatt, I get you.  You should know that your feelings are completely normal for a parent of a special needs child.  You love your daughter, but you are sad that she will not lead the sort of life you imagined.  In trying to explain this to my parents, I told them that I felt like I was morning the life and the type of adult relationship (in my case) I thought we would have.

This piece, called "Welcome to Holland" kind of sums up the way I feel about it in a lot of ways:  www.our-kids.org/Archives/Holland.html.

And although I haven't read it, the title of Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid, cracks me up, and it's on my list for down the line (http://www.amazon.com/Shut-About-Your-Perfect-Kid/dp/0307587487).

I don't like knocking OOTDs. Even on another board. Ew.

 Yes, this.

I don't venture too much to the OOTD thread on S&B, but this makes me sad. Not everyone who posts is thinking, "OMG! I'm Miss FASHUN!". Rather, some of the women are there because they're making an effort in improving their wardrobe or they were insecure in the past.

Sure, I wouldn't wear some of the things there, but I'm not smug about my fashion choices either.

I do like the idea of going to college to be educated. I wish I had done that instead of going for a "useful" degree. I would love to know everything there is to know about horticulture or physical geography. Not boring business stuff. I don't really feel as if I truly learned anything in college in any of my major classes, they all felt like common sense or honestly useless/outdated. The ones I did best in and enjoyed the most were the ones that were outside of my degree. But I was trying to be smart and go the safe route. First time in my life I opted for safe, and it's really my only regret in life.

I have been purposefully avoiding going to visit two not-super-close friends' newborns. I'm excited and happy for them, but I'm pretty jealous they have these completely healthy and happy babies. I know that Down Syndrome isn't a death sentence, but I wish my kid was going to get to be normal like these these other kids. So many friends are having perfect babies right now, it's going to be hard not to compare mine to theirs. I'm it'll be different when my best friend has her boy in a few weeks, I'll definitely make time to visit them.

Pity party, table for 1!

Big hug.

[anlo]

Hugs, nicanmatt. I didn't go through that during my pregnancy as my son wasn't dx with special needs until later, but I understand the comparisons you make between your child and others. It's hard, it's normal, and it sucks. There are lots of wonderful special needs moms here who would be happy to talk with you if you ever need to vent.

Haha. That seems like a lot of extra effort just to get drunk.

I lost it a bit ago. Lost. It.

Ds had been pushing the envelope all day (infuriating shit like pulling his sock only half on after I told him to put socks on 5 times) and then he kept popping out of his room during nap and I was trying to nap (which almost never happens) because I'm going to be out late tonight. He kept interrupting me right as I was drifting off. Then his dicking around woke up G. Then he kept her awake by sliding books etc under her door. He just pushes and pushes and pushes....

I screamed. They both cried. Im hiding in the family room while they both putter in their rooms until my blood pressure goes down. Omg.

[Deleted]

Nicanmatt, I think you're amazing, and you are going to have an amazing little girl. I don't think there's anything wrong with avoiding something that might upset you right now. (hugs)

[Deleted]

I just ate way too many Oreos. My fitness pal will not be so friendly today. Just roll my fatass down to the McDonald's.

I have to give SO some pretty relationship-testing/changing news tonight. It has always been a possibility, but now it is a firm reality and all sacrifices now lay on his shoulders. Idk if he is truly willing to make all of those sacrifices now that push has come to shove. I don't want to tell him because I don't want to lose him, but I am not 13. I know, now he has to know. After he gets home, of course. No need to burden a work day with heavy emotions.

I think my mom is slightly more boring than I am.  lol

[nursewife]

I'm feeling really depressed lately and refuse to change my meds. I'm scared if I change my meds I'll gain weight. I already feel fat.

My secong flameful is I have no idea how a stay at home mom can like it. I hate my day off work. Taking care of two kids on my own isn't enjoyable to me. I suck at this whole mom thing.

Well what is it?

I'm glad everyone left Mekia's thread alone.  I feel like most of the time, the more you respond it's like feeding the beast.

[chickadee77]

VeryViolet, is it one of those things where she always has to have the upper hand? H and I are currently lol-ing at a friend of his that just got married. He has always scoffed at us and our relationship, probably because he hasn't ever had a good one (including his current new wife, sorry). He keeps trying to express what makes a "good" wedding, marriage, in-law relationship, etc. never mind that their entire situation is a clusterfuck. Anyhow, my point is, if they have kids before we do, I can totally see them being all in our face about, "THIS IS HOW IT IS!" because they feel the need to teach the world something, or some shit.

Okay. This makes sense to me, but maybe not in writing. I'm a few or six beers in, lol.

I am spending the evening on the couch studying and half watching old disney channel original movies. Right now it's "Cadet Kelly" with Hillary Duff - I am nine.

[cheeseandcrackers]
