This is kind of pathetic and definitely gross, not at all scandalous or interesting: but I vomited (pregnancy related) in a restaurant sink last week. I couldn't get to the toilet and didn't see the trash. I still feel bad about it. I cleaned it up the best I could and told the staff and even offered to continue cleaning if they could get me a plunger, but they told me not to worry about it. I asked my H to pay cash, because I was so embarrassed and didn't want them to see the name on one of our credit cards. I don't know if we'll ever go back there. Maybe in a year or so. I like the place.
ETA: Definitely regretting putting this out here. Has nobody else done anything embarrassing or rotten lately?

I did something similar with my last pregnancy, I desperately tried to make it to the sink or toilet, wiped out the wall and sink. It was so embarrassing, I also cleaned it up as best I could but I felt awful. Hang in there, we all have embarrassing moments
My H totaled a car a few weeks ago and I'm so relieved he wasn't hurt. That said, the longer the mess of buying a car drags on the more annoyed I am about the expense of buying another new car to replace one that wasn't even 4 years old. He expressed real interest in getting a Mazda to replace it, and I was kind of a grouch and influenced the purchase of a boring old CR-V because the price is better and it ranks higher. Part of me feels guilty, but not enough to pull the plug and pay another thousand or so to get the Mazda.
Oh, and this is really pretty crummy of me, so I may DD. I have a colleague everyone seems to love, but she tries to micromanage me, so I'm considering giving a recruiter her name. The job that's up for grabs is a good one (would be a nice promotion for her), so in that sense, it's actually a gift to her. But I know my motivation, so I can't kid myself and say it's an altruistic move.

My kids got several target gift cards to pick something out- they need nothing so it's going towards the regular weekly target grocery . I'm just picking a toy they just got and telling the person thanks , it's what they picked out.
quesyrah, you had saved them for wrapping objects without boxes, right?
I also have a weakness for eating alone. I am much more apt to eat junk on a night when my H is out or goes to bed early than I am when we're hanging out together.
I have another one. I like my alone time and don't get enough, and every time I say I'm going to take off a random day (which is RARE - maybe twice a year, more like once), my H will jump to take off the day, too. And now, suddenly, he is taking off tomorrow after telling me all last week that he wasn't taking off time this week until Thursday (when we are going to visit his out-of-state family). I have to work, and whatever, it'll be a slow, easy day; but I'm jealous of his free day. Silly, I know. Is this a confession or a petty vent? Both, I guess.

I'm pissed dh bought a fancy car with out letting me see/drive it first. I knew he was buying one but I'm still bitter. Plus he spent way more than we planned so I'm pissed about that too.

I no longer have prime, and I placed an Amazon order on 12/13. They shipped everything, including a few orders after that one early, but didn't ship the DVD until 12/22 with a 12/24 arrival date. Keep in mind I live less than 5 miles from a pretty large Amazon distribution center.
We were leaving town on the 23rd and I needed that DVD so I lit them up on chat.
They had me place a one day shipping order for the DVD and then removed the shipping charge so I would get it on time, a perfectly acceptable resolution.
My confession is that I had a cookbook that I had zero luck finding in a regular store in the days leading up to the issue, also hanging out in my amazon cart.. so I allowed that to be included in my free overnight shipment. I feel bad!

This is not a confession. This would start a long, loud discussion at my house.
I let my toddler wake up my H from a nap bc i was annoyed that he was napping after he was out all day. Then i pretended i didnt mean to let him do it.
Tge confession feels worse since he has a man cold.

Hyperemesis three times now...been there, thrown up there. Never fun. Even when you can't avoid it.
My confession: we've been on vacation since 12/17 and we don't come home until 12/29. Being on vacation has been great for our sex life. Confession part: we have been using natural family planning to avoid getting pregnant. I left my calendar at home...we both have a very "who cares!" Attitude this vacation.
Liking in solidarity (about the yucky part - can't relate on the other front - lol)!
I kind of hate getting cash as a Christmas gift. I know that sounds dumb, however, I feel like I waste it. I hoard gift cards until the perfect splurge, but cash either goes into my bank account and disappears with all of the regular bills/expenses or ends up in my "in home cash stash" and sits there until an emergency.

I am home alone with 4 yr old DS and 7 week old DD by myself all week. I'm pretty much dreading it. DS has still been going to daycare while I'm on maternity leave but we get 2 weeks a year where we don't have to pay if he doesn't attend so he's staying home to save us $230 this week.
Then I feel guilty/inadequate because there are plenty of people home with 2 or more kids all day every day.

Agreed! I have $250 cash that I will likely end up spending on the kids or random little things. Gift cards I think out, but cash I have a tough time utilizing properly.

I am so pissed? frustrated? sad? That my parents and (28yo) sister are going on a family vacation (cruise) together next week and we weren't invited (again- this happens like yearly). The stupid part is that we would probably not go due to budget or vacation, and we probably wouldn't even WANT to go with them, but it still really bothers me to not be included. H and my aunt have even independently of each other, said/noticed that my dad favors my sister, so it blows that I really wasn't imagining it all along.
My BIL and his partner were supposed to fly in from NYC and stay with us all week. BIL's partner got the flu, so they're staying at a hotel instead.
Sucks to have the flu, but I'm glad I don't have to keep my house guest-friendly and instead I can (guilt free) send DD to daycare and then go to a movie with H.
And I'm side eyeing him getting on an airplane with the flu. Stay home!!
My Fitbit made me a much more present Mom today. It gets all of my phone and text alerts, so I wasn't picking up my phone to check and getting caught up on Facebook, insta, here, etc. I'm annoyed it took that, but I'm glad it did.
