Inspired by recent events:
I despise football. If every single NFL player suddenly went missing I would throw a big party (with chips and dip). I wouldn't even be sad for their families.
If my husband tried to take a weekend trip without me I would literally laugh in his face. I am soooo not that good of a wife. On the weekends I own him.

Another confession is that me and my husband felt really lame after visiting our friends this weekend. We are very close friends with this couple, we all went to college together and have remained extremely close, and yet we felt we had nothing to talk about except our children. We both got a vibe from them that they think we are lame. And we ARE lame. (This couple is childless.)
I hate pants that have fake pockets in the front and pockets in the back that are sewn shut. WTF is the point of fake pockets??? Rage.
AND if you rip the seam on the top usually there is a pocket there. WTF is that about??
I think nicer clothing does that on purpose so that pockets don't get damaged and look funny from people trying them on. The seams are meant to be pulled out and then have the pockets used.

I love football. So much.
DH works on weekends... so if he thought he was taking a whole weekend off to go spend with the guys, that wouldn't fly with me. Maybe if he didn't work every weekend, I'd be okay with it.

This is probably both a UO and confession.....
My UO is that I am glad that DH takes weekends away because then I can too. We are both better parents and partners when we take time for ourselves.
The confession... Even though I support him going, I make him "make it up" to me every single time... LOL, when he gets back he does more chores, more childcare, let's me sleep in, etc at my insistance. He never does that to me.

pockets is a weird word
I guess that makes sense. How screwed up could the pockets really get though? I don't remember ever getting pants that didn't have the pockets sewn shut and thinking, damn it, these pockets are so messed up, why didn't they just sew them shut?! I kindof want to make a poll, lol

DH has had a good year. I let him have a boys weekend in Charlotte, then recently he had his annual ATL trip. This weekend he is going to the UNC football game.
Next year I plan to have a girls weekend in London to make up for all of this. I am not kidding.

I feel so lame lately, I use to have all kinda of stuff to talk about, and now I'm all like, "soooo, I'm having an early mid life crisis, what's new with you?"
I would be mad if my H went away for a weekend without me but I get annoyed when he gets upset about me taking the boys to visit my parents for a week. I mean, it's a vacation for him! He gets a break from his wife and kids. Sign me up!

These are not the same. You are taking the kids with you!
I do feel like if I were a SAHM I would not let him go away ever, and if he stayed after work for a beer etc. I would be ragey. Because I work F/T I am generally ok with him doing stuff but I will admit a full weekend alone with the kids was harder than I expected.
It's the bedtime that gets me. I just hate double bedtime, it's too stressful*

damn I think a weekend away just getting drunk and sleeping alone in a giant hotel bedroom after sitting in a giant hotel jacuzzi is just what I need.
screw dirt bikes in the woods, I want a king size bed all to myself and a hangover I can nurse with a giant plate of bacon no sticky toddler hands are grabbing at

That's what I told him. I am never kidless, I always have one of them with me.

I have a cousin who lives in the same town as laurack. They do not plan on having kids. I love them, but we are soooo not on the same page so it's tough to get together sometimes.
Add me to the football hater list. I think it's a thug game and a waste of time and money. I hate that our society values entertainment (sports, actors, musicians) over intellectualism and careers that serve the community.
Confession: I'm feeling unmotivated to pack. Right now all I really want to do is pull my sewing machine out of storage and finish the kids' Halloween costumes.
LOVE footbal (NFL) and I'm very excited for regular season to begin in 10 days! I don't mind when DH takes a weekend away, or a night away. It's actually easier. The girls are much better behaved with just me, DH is a push over, so they are whinier. And when he's gone I can watch my TV shows. Plus, I know he will return the favor and I will get my time away.
I wouldn't mind my husband taking a weekend away if I did the same. But if I was breastfeeding and couldn't go away, no way in hell would I let him.
He also gets like 4-5 entire weeks without us a year when he goes on work stuff. And yes that is a vacation, he gets 5/6-bedtime by himself.
yes mine usually takes I think 2-3 business trips per year, each time for maybe 3-4 days. I consider it "vacation" as well because while he has to go to boring conferences all day and talk with clients and such, he gets to eat at restaurants for days on the company's dime and sleep uninterrupted in a hotel bed
