Member Confessions Showing 1 - 5 of 26
Went to bed Friday night feeling great, woke up with the stomach flu at 3AM and did not stop getting sick until 6AM. Battled a fever all day Saturday, stomach pains and hunger all day Sunday and finally feeling a little better Sunday night. Went to bed Sunday night thinking I'll get back to feeling semi-normal tomorrow, maybe get a few things done...Wake up Monday morning to my period arriving after only 24 days (I'm usually 32 + days). I KNOW it could be worse physically, but talk about kicking me when I'm down! What a terrible, rotten past 3 days! UHG.

shareI love the Diva Cup!
With hubby working both a full-time job and weekends in the Army Reserve, I'm thinking more and more about how nice it would be to be a stay-at-home wife...NOT because we could afford it or because I want to be lazy, but we'd have more time together and planning things would be easier. We aren't having kids, so I just know there would be some boring days (and I like working). Hmmm...
My BIL said his New Years resolution was to not make any human beings (He and my SIL have children ages 13, 12, 9, 7, 10 months and a newborn...Yes, TWO born within 1 year!). DH and I are child free and DH pipes up, "We make that our resolution every year." LOL.
In regards to big, expensive rings: My husband and I had just purchased a house, so our budget was limited on an engagement ring set 6 years ago. We had a budget of $600. I browsed some sets and fell in love with a cute little set...10K white gold, with a TW .29 carat in small diamonds. It's small compared to many of the rings I see and my husband sometimes wishes he could have gotten me a bigger set, but I love it! It's the ring he asked me to marry him with and the one he put on my finger on our wedding day. We've been married 4 years, together 13
My Mom was never emotionally invested in me really as a kid, and still really isn't. She was one of those women who had children "for the experience" as she put it when I asked her one time. I think you should be more invested in it emotionally to bring people into the world...Like have a real desire to be a mother. She never did. However, I am still glad to have her in my life - Especially since this is my Dad's first Mother's Day since his Mom passed away last year and I can see how much he misses her. I never want to take my parents for granted! I know my Mom loves me and I her!
I work for the Royal Bank of Canada and am actually concerned about my keeping my job...not because I think the bank will outsource mine, but that I will have no job after so many customers have left! Somewhat not looking forward to work tomorrow, and I really like my job :(
I'd like to have a manager who is not a hypocrite! She abuses her status to no end and it needs to stop...SHE'S getting a new manager tomorrow and I'm thinking/hoping this one will not let the crap she does slide! I'm OK with my job, but her authority abuse need to halt ASAP.
I want to go part-time so I can volunteer more...Financially, it's very doable, but we just won't be AS comfortable.
This has been on my heart for months and I just don't know what to do. It only comes down to money! :(
DH and I picked out a pretty pink cake at the grocery store for MIL's birthday tomorrow. The baker asked if I wanted anything written on it. I said, "Yes, just 'Happy Birthday Mom". She repeated back, "Happy Birthday Mom?". I said, "Yep, please." So she went over and did it and then put the cake in a box. We pay for the cake, get in the car and start to drive. I want to see the cake, so I open the box and immediately LOOSE it laughing. My husband asks, "What?". I open the lid so he can see and on the cake was written 'Happy Birthday Bob'. We were in stitches the whole way home.
Woke up early Saturday morning with the stomach flu and now today my period arrives at only 24 days! Husband has been waiting on me hand and foot all weekend - Garbage pails, cold wash clothes, food, drink, heat packs, you name it! What an incredible, incredible man!
My parents-in-law received a partial settlement of almost $30,000 last September from an accident they were in 4 years ago. 6 months later, it's gone and they are back to struggling! They have a final arbitration meeting in the Fall and may receive over $500,000 by the time it's done and over with. They already have plans for the money, which includes an extended trip overseas! It's so, SO hard to see people you love shoot themselves in the foot every time! I don't want to see them struggle any more, but I know they always will, no matter how much money they have :(
My in-laws lent a good sum of money to my SIL a few months ago. My SIL is finally getting back-paid a large sum of money after her and her BF's taxes were screwed up bad last year. My in-laws are now struggling to make ends meat and are really hoping my SIL, as they put it, "Remembers who helped her out." My MIL has reminded her 3 times that the money they lent was indeed a loan and that they need to be paid back or they're in trouble. I hope my SIL does the right/responsible thing and pays them back. They have supported her exponentially time and time again over the years.
