Confessions

[Deleted]

I went to work today with blood on my shirt. I totally forgot that miss r got it in me. It was significant. I entered that part of being pregnant where I give zero fcks. I'm going to make it my resolution to try harder tomorrow.

[pizzapizza]

I think I am also at the point of giving zero fcks. I am at almost 33 weeks. Luckily I work from home and only have to look presentable when I make it outside which is not to frequent.

I am so thankful we don't do video conferences.  That would make life much more difficult.

DH has a man cold. I may kill him. He must have the loudest cough in the fucking world.

[bimbi284]

My boss wants me to write another grant supposedly "for my future" so I could increase my salary.

Except that for me, my future involves me not working with him in any capacity after September, so there's that...

I have been up past 1am the last several nights because I'm so much more productive when all of my children are in bed. It's starting to have negative side effects though. I need to go to bed now.

I went overboard on acne products because my face was a MESS. I went back on the pill to try to get this shit under control. Now I have a significant dry patch across my entire chin. Not cool.


I just stared at bimbis glitter signature for a solid minute.
 
Annie, I hope you hubby feels better soon. The man cold is horrible, second only to the Man Flu.

ffbride and pizza, you are both entirely allowed to give zero fucks anymore. I wouldn't blame you wearing sweats and uggs on the daily. Pretty sure that was my uniform at that stage with all three of mine.

Bimbi, I hope very much you are somewhere doing something you LOVE before September! <3

[ilovebed]

lol. I love the preggo confessions. And I have one of my own. I did not wear a bra today. Out of pure laziness? I can't say. It was also cold this morning. I didn't want to take off the tank top I slept in last night so I just put a sweater on top of it and called it good.

Thank you, majick143!!

@watermelon620, Dh has had a cold for 2 months. He clears his throat or sucks his snot back into his throat every minute. I timed it once for 15 minutes and he did it 18 times. Its driving me batty. I told him to blow his nose so he stops sucking and couching it up. He does not get it and refuses. I think he just wants to torture me.

I am irrationally excited for a 3 year old's birthday Saturday because CAKE.

I feel you. Whenever my husband coughs I want to kill him. Seriously. Above all things he does to annoy me coughing is the worst.

Boys are gross.

Even though I technically have a month until my due date, I've officially checked out at work. I'm trying to make sure I have things in order to hand off to people while I'm gone but that's about it lol. I'm also debating adding another week to my 4-month maternity leave, which would be the last week in January, because DH has that week off.

I bought the Frye Paige boots last week and omg I fell in love as soon as I opened the box. They are gorgeous. And I'm so short they smacked me mid-knee. I thought about keeping them because they were so wonderful and figured I would get over them being so tall. But I won't. They will sit in my closet. So I returned them. And I'm heartbroken. I feel like I'd been broken up with. Ugh.

ETA - are any like the Paige but shorter? I need to drown my sorrows.

I also have no desire to dress anymore. When we were in FL I wore a bathing suit or maxi dress almost every day and it was amazing. I have no desire to wear pants for the next 8 1/2 weeks.

My skin was amazing in FL. It's so itchy and I've been breaking out since we got home because it's so f'ing dry here. Next year I want to spend the month of Feb in FL.

I bought a Vera Bradley lunchbox. But it's cute!

I feel like that's one of the only reasonable uses for VB.
My SIL got me a cute desk set from VB that's got a notepad holder, pen, and some other stuff, and the pattern is not too obnoxious, so I actually like it, except my office at work isn't only used by me, and those vultures would steal all my cute VB post its.

Do it but go back to work on a Thursday. The first week back can be really long and it's hard to be away from the baby so you want to ease into it. Send the baby to daycare early for half days to get into the daily routine and go on a date or two or three with your DH. Get your hair done, get a massage, etc... When I went back to work I did this and it was awesome!

That's a great idea!

I shaved my face yesterday. I had a lot of peach fuzz on my jawline & I decided to just go for it. My face feels so much softer.

I do this. I was nervous because I was afraid it would come back all coarse. It hasn't. It's fine and thin. But definitely peach fuzzy all over. It's the best way I've found to deal with it.

I've been doing it for awhile too.

Ha! Two years ago I was actively looking for another job when performance review and goal-setting time came around. In my head, I'm like, "Uhh, the only goal I have is to leave this place..." Thankfully I obtained that goal about a month later!
