Speaking of elevators, I have been extra judgmental lately. If you're an able bodied person and only going up/down one floor, take the stairs RIGHT NEXT TO the elevator. You'll be at your destination before the elevator even gets to you.

I agree. I'm annoyingly on the 12th floor, it pisses me off that my elevator journey must take so long becuase it stops on 10, then 9, then 6 then 2. OK six floors fine. ONE FLOOR? just walk losers!*
*unless you can't for some physical reason besides just laziness
I was a SAHW for 10 months after I got married. Waiting for my green card so I couldn't work. I mean LEGALLY. I could probably have gotten a job. But I didn't.
It was WONDERFUL! I went to the gym every day for two hours. Was in fantastic shape. Then, I got a subscription to bon appetit and took up fancy cooking. Cooking when you have all day to grocery shop/look at recipes etc. is fun! Not like now when I'm trying to empty cans of various things into a pot with two children clung to my leg

I was cool with sponging off my H. lol
Hell yes, that sounds like the best gig ever. (Well, now the best gig would be for me to be a SAHM, while my DH made loads of money, and I could have a part time nanny and a house cleaner)
I think a lot of people in that thead (the ML one) who wouldn't want to be a SAHW have career ambitions, or a career they love. I have neither of those. I have already exceeded any ambitions I had for my career (I set the bar low, haha).
My Velcro child is driving me nuts. I had to run upstairs to grab my water bottle, he insists on following me. Going to the bathroom by myself? Never gonna happen. Cooking dinner while he plays downstairs? Things of dreams (he used to be really good about that). Cleaning up without him underfoot? Ha! Just give me some personal space, dammit! Sit and watch tv by yourself so I can pee without an audience.

God, yes! Sometimes I'll trip over her and she gets upset bc she may fall, or God forbid, bumped lol. I just need some time to myself to not be touched.

Right? I wouldn't trip over you if you were directly under my feet constantly!

I was a SAHW for a few months and it was bliss!! I also went to the gym for 2 hours a day and I was just so happy. Even running errands made me happy. Because I didn't have children to lug around with me. I loved it and my husband loved it too because I was in such a good mood.

I was a SAHW for all 9 months of pregnancy and It. Was. Awesome.
We hated the damn delicious garlic honey chicken....I think it was too sweet, I might have done it wrong but we were not fans.
We hated it too. I can't even pinpoint what we didn't like. Possibly the spices in the batter? Either way, way too much work to try and tweak the recipe.

I usually agree but some people have asthma and other such breathing issues that aren't outwardly noticed. The air is so different here in Colorado that I sometimes get winded just walking down the hall and talking to someone.
That's true. I think my confession was fueled by the undergraduates that bounce into the elevator, go down one floor, then bounce out. Youths!

A few weeks ago, J's grandfather asked us to come over after mass to talk. Because of my divorce, some of his family want me to go through the annulment process (through the Catholic Church, though I'm not Catholic) and the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. I said I'd be open to getting more information, and now that I have it, it bugs me. They've got the right to deny it and we couldn't get married in the church. Why the fuck should I have to justify myself to a group of men who don't know me or what I went through? It's a lengthy and invasive process that involves questioning my family, friends, and possibly my ex. He said he wants to marry me regardless, so it's not an issue in that respect. I'm a Christian but it's shit like this that makes me not want to be involved with a church.

I was a SAHW when I got laid off, so I guess not totally blissful...but I went to the gym for 2 hours, cooked dinner each night, baked baked goods often. Since H is a teacher, we spent the entire summer together doing fun (cheap) things. Then we spent a week at the lake with my parents and went to his parents for almost a week. I should remember how happy we were despite the stress of not having a job.

Were you married in the Catholic Church? I am pretty sure you don't need to do this, unless you were. Also, that's really shitty of them. It's not their business.
Not flameful at all, ashleydl83. That would be a big hell no for me. Do what YOU and J want, don't worry about his family. They'll get over it.
His grandfather mentioned that we needed to "do it the right way" and about Catholicism being the "one true religion." I found it disrespectful since they know I'm not Catholic. I told them I was raised Baptist but have had issues with organized religion lately. I would never knock someone's religion and there is plenty I find wrong with the Catholic faith. I have major issues with people being judgmental, and I don't handle being judged very well. I can be a bit stubborn and dig in my heels... Must be the Taurus in me

No, but since I was married before, it's part of the process if we want to get married in the Catholic Church. I may be legally divorced, but not in the eyes of the Catholic church. I kind of get the reasoning (I'll spare you that lengthy reason lol) but I know my decision to divorce was beyond valid, and having to convince the church is ludicrous.
I feel like a hobbit because I totally had 2 breakfasts this morning. I came down and had some toaster waffles then when the kids had breakfast I had a bowl of cereal. I could totally eat something else. Lol. I haven't been this hungry in weeks.
My 5 year old stepson has the potential to eat 3 breakfasts Thursday and Friday lol. We have him Wed evening-Fri/Sun evening so he goes to daycare in the morning to be bussed to school since I have to be at work before school allows drop offs. I feed him breakfast, daycare offers breakfast and the school offers free breakfast as well LOL. He could be the ultimate hobbit.

I looked it up and you're right. That's even more enraging to me (I am catholic!). I think that's horse shit. It will likely drag your ex into it too. I don't understand the Catholic Church sometimes. I'm sorry!

Yeah, the witness questionnaire asks questions about dating life, married life, knowledge of how the couple was intimate, etc. My ex is the worst about bad mouthing me, and my mom is so against Catholicism. The only other witness I have is my dad, and I don't even want him to answer those questions. He was raised Catholic (he converted after disagreeing with the church many years ago) but told me to do what I feel is right.

If you did want to get married in a church, you can get married in a Protestant church.
My mom's best friend comes from a staunchly Catholic family. When I was younger she dated a man that I even called my Uncle. He was amazing for her. He was her soul mate. However, he had been married before and refused the annulment process because he had a child from a previous marriage who passed on a drowning accident. He felt like the annulment was saying his son never existed, so he refused to do it. They couldn't get married in the Catholic Church and my "aunt" refused to go against her family. Now 20+ years later she is miserable and alone. She married another man and is already divorced again. It's really terrible and sad. On his death bed, her father told her she should have just dropped the Catholic wedding and they should have married...that he was sorry.
I hate to be Debbie Downer, but just wanted to share. You do you. Happiness is what is important and I don't think God is concerned with a formal process like that when he is sending your soul mate your way.

I think it's disgusting that they want your intimate details discussed and with other people no less? Fuck that. Is J set on marrying in the church? I totally understand if he is! I was too! But man, some things just do not need to be brought up. You've been through a lot. You don't need to trudge through that again crap again.

No I didn't like the chicken plain so I drowned it in sauce, it didn't help. I think it was the thyme thinking back.
