I totally have occasional crushes when I'm not supposed to. Ce la vie, my dear.
I confess I always miss out on the drama,
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
I confess I'm exhausted and shaking. Had to deal with some very serious behavior issues at work today and afterwards I was having trouble standing up. Not injured, just so tense that when I could relax I just turned in to a jelly. Now I'm home I'm just annoyed and grumpy with DH for no good reason (well, not much of one).
I confess it's CD 35 and no AF. Very grumpy, though. Can't decided if I should test or not. Could just be stress of above child/behavior issue.

Okay, this isn't really secular, its kind of political, but mostly its about my utter confusion about what's going on in the states right now. Why is everyone on every side calling everyone else a Nazi? Obama is a Nazi say the crazy-kind of right winger (also calling him a communist, which is extra confusing since fascism is really not at all like communism, so you don't get to be both, not to mention he is neither), but now I hear some right-winger types saying that THEY are being called Nazi's for this-or-that?
Why are so many people so eager to jump RIGHT to Nazi? Its, um, rather extreme. And, uh, not really accurate. On either side. Dear people of the USA who are losing it. Please chill out. Your crazy spell is freaking the rest of us out. Thank you!
Maggie, can you come calm all of us down? Each new administration seems to take the other side even farther in the hatred of the other side. It's getting old.

UMMMM Maggie, I live here and your guess is as good as mine! America is turning on ourselves! Not pretty. I don't get why we have such turmoil amongst ourselves, but yeah, it's way out of control with the crazies!!

I confess I don't know if I should just give up on trying to help DH treat Josh appropriately. He is just so short with him and negative and he steps all over what I'm trying to do, and teach, and just thinks I'm being a nag when I try to tell him how I'd like him to act around Josh. It's so weird. He does really nice things for Josh one day and is totally irritated with him the next day. I think sometimes DH thinks his day ends when he comes home from work. He wishes! I just don't know how to get through to him.
I asked him the question I saw on another thread about inappropriate speaking to a child. I said "How would you feel if someone spoke to you like that?" and he said "I wouldn't care, really"
Honestly some days I just want to kick this man somewhere very painful, if I didn't think his reaction would be to kick me back.
I don't think I'm a good choice.I piss people off too often. Anyway, I'm not going to visit your side of the border until everyone takes a breather first. I can't really imagine what its like for you all - its not even affecting me personally and all the wild stuff on the news gets me riled up. I think I would be having a stroke if this was happening in Canada.
I just chuckle. I mean, what else can I do? There are some crazy people on both sides of the issue, when in reality, it shouldn't be a two sided thing. We should all be standing together and working together to get through this......sludge. Tis not happening.

I confess that I keep thinking that dbf and I could benefit from counseling. I am so not a counselesque type person. He's agreed to try it but we don't have anyone to look after the kids while we go. And ever since we had that talk, we've been getting along really great. I wish we could counsel ourselves. Is it possible?
I confess that Maggie hit it on the head with her description of the state of mind in the USA right now. Everyone needs to settle the fluck down.
Okay, now DH seems to think sneaking up behind me and poking me will make me less tense and angry. WTF?![]()

With me and Robert that is NOT possible.His bff is usually our counsler, which makes it difficult to keep my head in the conversation
. His bff and wife are pretty much us, so he knows exactly what we are going through. It helps just letting it out when he's there cause then Robert tends to keep his cool, otherwise he'd be full of hot air and wouldn't let me get a word in edge wise.

Mean people produce little mean people!!
Sorry you had such a rough day-and that DH isn't getting it, either. I hope tomorrow is a better one.
See, that's the beauty of being mormon-I can't go to hell! We don't believe in it! Well, not conventionally, anyhow. And I certainly can't get myself there by hanging in here and being loved by the ilk of you
If that were my DH he'd be poking me from behind, but not with his finger. Doesn't seem to understand that sort of thing TURNS ME THE HELL OFF

Sometimes I'm of the theory that once we have all the children we want...we could really cut our losses, right? Sometimes...
I'm thinking with the miracles of modern science it would be easier. Hmmm.
