I am sooo late to the party...but DH and I were on phone/gchat for a good part of the day yesterday because I think we found a potential house in Aberdeen...anyways here was my FFC that I posted on my BMB

Last week when my mom, DD, and I were driving from Texas to New Jersey, I started out pumping under a blanket with my electric pump completely hidden from view...

fast forward 6 hours, one screaming baby, and dirty pump parts...

I was sitting in the front passenger seat, both boobs totally out, no blanket, manually pumping into a bottle (I produce an insane amount of milk) while my mom is going about 75 mph down the highway passing trucks and cars...

I could not have cared less that I was "exposing" myself

So if you were driving along interstate 81 last week, yes those were my big a** ti**ies...sorry if I blinded you..

Your dream job and my dream job are about identical, so you know how tough this field is!

My FFC - I'm now kind of regretting inviting my patents to stay with us while they have some building work done on their house. It could be for a month. Unlike when we stayed in their house for a month (between houses while I was pregnant) our house has just one living room, one tv and our living room is close to N's bedroom as her bedroom and ours are downstairs - my dad has no concept of having the tv an a normal volume...

Second one is more general.... I'm sick of all the coverage of the Titanic!!!! I know it launched 100 years ago yesterday but still...

wise_rita:
I've never even seen an Australian $100 bill in person.

I have. ;)

But try living in Switzerland where it is impossible to not see a $1000 bill. People would fling them around like they were $5 bills. Including the lady in front of me at the grocery store once who paid her small grocery bill with a $1000 bill. Check out lady looked like she saw this everyday.

I had a homework overload this week. Tonight I will be on the sofa relaxing even though I have another paper to write for Tuesday.

I hate the cheap-ass gits my MIL always gets us, and I feel like if you´re going to be so cheap, then why bother. I´d rather not have the crap, and it would save her some time. Oh, and I`m dreading seeing what she got DD for Easter (assuming she did, but hey, the woman can´t take DD doesn´t need anything for an answer, or the suggestion to go to the bookstore and get a nice children´s book, and always buys more crap, like the pants for DD that were 2 sizes too small)

Happy birthday Potato!

Wise Rita, it will all work out for you, don't worry!

My FFC: I'm scared this baby will come out and he won't be cute and everyone will just pretend he is and just talk behind my back.

My other one is that I am worried about how MIL is going to react when the baby is here. We used to have a horrible relationship but she has been very nice to me since I got pregnant. She said she is going to take some time off of work when he arrives and I can't decide if she is actually going to be helpful or just a pain in the butt. I'm not looking forward to finding out.

My FFFC: I'm scared to tell my parents that we aren't staying at their house when we go to visit later in the year. I know this will hurt their feelings and I just don't want to hurt them, but my reasons for not staying at their house outweigh their hurt feelings. In a nutshell, they have two dogs - one with a bad temper that doesn't like kids - and my dad is hesitant to make the home safer for my kids. Since I'd rather hurt my parent's feelings than deal with a dog bite and everything that can come from that, I'm going to find a different place to stay.

I'm angry at DH for not wanting to go to a volcano trek that has been organized for this sunday. He says he just want to stay home and rest, and I understand - long week at work, etc. But I work from home and desperately want to get out, plus it sounds super interesting (and we could both use the exercise). I can't go alone since our only mode of transportation is the motorcycle right now, which I can't drive. So basically, I'm mad he's forcing me to stay home... yet again.

FFC:

DH had a fight with his cousin/friend today and I'm actually kind of happy because it means we'll have more "us" time, at least for a bit. Who knows how long these two will be mad at each other.

Another: I'm scared to death about Spain's economy crashing, something that seems to be more probable every day.

I had a doctor's appointment in the middle of the day so i took the whole day off work. I did some errands and then went shopping.

I deserve it. It's my birthday today.

And I bought a new shirt, ripped off the tags so DH wouldn't notice, and will wear it tonight.

Happy Birthday!!!

To wise-rita: I do not work in anything related to my master's degree. It's a long story, and maybe eventually I will work in something related again (I did for a while), but for now it's all zen. And I've actually considered going back to school for something else entirely lately. Nonetheless, I know it's frustrating and hard to see how to get from point jobless to point-wherever-it-is-that-you-pictured-yourself.
