Confessions, anyone?

[texaswildflower]

A big part of me is ready for R to start daycare tomorrow so that I can finally get a few hours to myself. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cry like a baby when I get home from dropping him off.

Lately I've been feeling like it was a big mistake moving back home for this deployment. Yes, we've saved a lot more money that we would have if I had stayed in CA. But even though I'm surrounded by family, I still feel alone. And I'm upset that I'm missing out on all the FRO events.

I also feel like R likes my sister and my parents more than he likes me. Its starting to affect me mentally and emotionally.

We're at a major family reunion this week, and I've basically come to the conclusion that I really, really don't want to come to the next one. It's not that anyone is particularly unlikeable, but I've just never felt like I reallly meshed well with my dad's relatives, and this week is basically just confirming those feelings. Ugh.

I can't fathom how people around here spend $20,000 a semester for their kids to go to private HS.

ETA: and this is what her education taught her (from FB, and my MIL liked her post):

Okay I'm just going to say it. I'm sick to death of societies obsession with homosexuality. I get it, gay marriage is a "big controversy" right now. But there are so many other important issues we need to deal with. ^o)

I am sorry you're feeling lonely, Texas. I've been feeling really lonely lately too. It sucks.

[Dory1988]

I defaced Stan's bumper sticker...kidding. I just have no interesting confessions ATM.

[Deleted]

I'm 5'5 and range from 155-160. I feel fat as fuck and that's part of the reason I'm holding off on dating.

H and I have a couple here that we really like. We have known them for about a year and a half and consider them good friends and have always been there for them. Lately it feels like they have been giving us the cold shoulder and we're not sure why. H has been venting about his frustrations about it for awhile, but now its starting to bug me too. They blew us off for H's birthday last week when we were supposed to go to dinner together. It makes me sad because I think we considered them our closet friends here. I know I'm not friendless here, but sometimes it feels like that. It sucks.

Guys! Cheer up (I'm looking at you Texas and B)!

Take a Space A flight and get away for a little while (if you're not working or in school). In any case though, I'm sorry you guys are feeling that way

Possibly flameful confession: I love the US gymnasts' leotards today.

I worry way too much. I went back to the office tonight after having left 40 minutes earlier to call a patient to make sure she knew that if her symptoms continued and she wasn't seen ASAP she could loose her sight. Thank goodness I decided against nursing school or medical school which was the plan 5 years ago.
The sad part is I worry about EVERYTHING. Are we going to have enough money to have kids? Are we going to be able to afford my student loan payments when E's no longer getting the GI bill? It goes on and on and on. Sometimes I can control it other times I can't. Its awful.

I wish I could just take a trip and get away. I'm hoping that my new exercise routine and goals will help me feel better.

I'm feeling sad for H and pissed at my ILs. Tomorrow is H's birthday, and none of his family has said or mentioned doing anything for him. They threw a huge party for BIL/SILs birthdays a month ago and while he pretends to not care I can tell that H is bummed that no one is doing the same for him.

The really shitty part about this is this isn't the first time ILs have gone all out for H's other siblings (who are generally worthless moochers) and done nothing for H.

1.)It's 4am and I'm still awake.

2.)I just finished making cookies and then ate 3 of them.

3.)I finally allowed myself to stalk two people on Facebook after avoiding Facebook all day. I seriously didn't want my friends to have their babies on my due date and thankfully I don't think either one did. Not the person who is 5 days past due or the person who was induced yesterday morning (unless she did and just hasn't posted yet, which for her would be odd). That would only have made things harder.

4.)I'm seriously already considering calling CPS on one of the boat wives if she's ever home alone while the guys are out to sea. Someone told me today about what a tragically disgusting house she keeps and I'm worried that it's a bad environment for her infant.

5.)In relation to #4, I wish her son was mine to raise. I feel like she doesn't deserve him. (Flame me all you want!)

I like the blue ones better. This year's games have had so much red.

That sucks. I would try to guilt trip them into doing something.

[decemberrain]

H hates it here in Guam. I LOVE it. He makes me feel guilty about liking it so much when he seems miserable here. He hates the locals he hates the roads he hates the food he hates the culture he hates the weather he hates the.. you name it, he doesn't like it. I keep telling him it's going to be a long three years if he keeps up that attitude.He just isn't trying to like it at all. He can't drive his car fast here so he is miserable, that's what it comes down to. It's just wearing on my patience to have him be so negative about everything lately.

(((HUGS))) Stella!

I'm so ready to start my maternity leave. If I had enough time to do so, I'd start it before I even have the baby. I'm tired of being short handed and not having any help. I'm tired of being the only one that cares about what happens in our section. I'm just plain tired. And I'm nesting like a mofo so being home already would be super helpful with satisfying my need to nest. I gave my boss my maternity leave proposal a month ago and she hasn't said anything to me about it. I would kind of like to know if I'm going to need to train anyone on any of my stuff before I leave so I can, you know, do that...but I kind of don't care either. It's not my fault if she doesn't give me any feedback before I leave right?

[twoslicehilly]

My husband seems 1000 X more attractive since I came home, even though he didn't do 75% of the stuff I asked him to while I was gone, lol.

Chik Fil A is getting annoying. It's a fast food joint with bomb milkshakes.

I acted like a spoiled daddy's girl on the flight home, he tied his platinum status card to all of my bags and bumped me and DD to first class, and I got pretty awesome treatment. Then, before I left, he gave me $200 "In case all of the ATMs go down and you need to sleep some where/ feed DD" My confession is I don't feel guilty about it since it was all offered and we don't ask for help from our parents. I relished every country club second of being home.

I always skip family reunions because they're only with my SDad's side of the family and I can't stand being around all of them like that.

[snatchinbride]

I'm kind of excited that my husband's flight home got changed so it won't interfere with my weekend plans. He's only been gone for a week though, so I don't feel quite as bad.

FIL and MIL keep telling me "buying a house is supposed to be fun! Relax and have a good time!"

This ish is not fun. It is stressful as all hell. I can't wait until it's over and we just have someplace to live.

And I kind of want to punch them in the face for being all "OMG it's so much fuuuuunnnnn!!!!"

The only thing fun about it is finding a house. But then it is always a little awkward walking around the homeowner's personal things.

Good luck. I hope that you find something good.

Everything B said.

I did a lot better when the houses we were looking at were empty so I could see my things in there better ( in my head at least).

One house we looking at I had looked at online. All of the furniture was HUGE and it made seeing the house hard. And then NONE, let me repeat that NONE, of the kitchen cabinets had doors on them. ( Well the lower ones did but the uppers and the pantry didn't) and the home owners were home and he was kind of hurt that I asked if we bought the house if he would put the cabinet doors back on.

I kind of like living across from a hotel. It's generally quiet, but it can be really interesting when so many people don't bother to pull curtains despite crazy bedroom acrobatics. It's not porn-y to us, just really funny.

The confession part is that I'm kind of jealous of some of their antics. Some people are really, um, acrobatic. Plus, they get to have hotel sex which we all know is better than plain old home sex.

This post inspired by some people in the hotel right now.

Wow. Note to self: always close curtains in hotels.

Then again, I don't think I've stayed in a hotel with H since our honeymoon. Well, when we moved here and I was 3 weeks PP, but that doesn't count.
