Confessions

Metric · Gucci

I feel like a super jerk for saying it but sometimes I feel like not living with my bf. Its not that I don't love him, I just wish I didn't have to constantly have someone buzzing around me and complaining about the way I do every thing.

Know what I mean?

Collette · Chanel

1. My soon to be ex has a new GF already and he's taking her to the Four Seasons in the Bahamas for 10 days and I'm so angry I can't stop crying. I'm not mad he has a GF I'm pissed that she gets my life, my trip, my expensive presents and I can barely afford to buy Christmas presents for my family

2.I hope my ex's drinking gets so out of control he loses his job. But only after I get my divorce settlement. And then I feel like a terrible person for thinking that.

3. I tried to hack into his expedia account so I could find out her name so I could google her. Couldn't do it.

- I really truly cannot stand my own mother. I think she literally has a mental disorder of some kind. I am relieved that I don't have to include her in things or talk to her much anymore, not really sad like I thought I might be.

- I too am jealous of Jon & Kate plus 8. I think their kids are adorable and even though my husband thinks so too, he won't admit it because he thinks I will immediately force him to agree to spawn ridiculous numbers of children.

- I'm annoyed that I can't fix everyone's crap in their life. Especially when their crap affects me negatively.

- I saw a girl I went to highschool with over the weekend. She was one of the really snobby, way too perfect chicks then. Now however, she is a waitress at small suburban chain restaurant. It makes me want to eat there more often to watch her squirm.

Ouch- that is rough :(

Kelly · Hermes

-My parents are moving right next door to me this weekend. I am not happy about it. I love my house and I love my family and I love being near them, but right now my parents are like a minute's drive away, through the woods. It's the perfect distance - close enough to see each other a lot, but far enough away that they aren't RIGHT THERE all the time. I am SO not ready for them to be right next door to me and be all up in my business and see everything that's going on. It's not like I'm smoking crack and beating kittens or something horrible that I don't want them to see...I just liked having at least a bit of a barrier between us so I could live my own life without them watching every time I come and go. They have a key to my house, and they know my alarm code, and in the past they have just gone into my house unannounced while I wasn't there to borrow things or whatever. I finally got them to stop, but I'm afraid that if they're right next door to me, they'll start doing it again.

Anyway, I guess the confession part of that is that my parents are SO excited about their new house, and they keep talking about it, and they are excited to live right next to me, but I am totally dreading it and I just can't be happy for them. Which is awful.

-I ate brownies for breakfast.

-I am a huge scaredy cat. If BF isn't sleeping over, I still sleep with my hall light on and a knife under my pillow and my cell phone on my bed. Because you never know when a KILLER could come!! Sometimes, when I really freak myself out, I just take my dog and drive to my parent's house and sneak into their house in the middle of the night to sleep on their couch. It's like, the older I get, the more scared I get of stupid shit. I wasn't like this when I was 10, why am I like this now?? My friends and I joke about "my killer" a lot, but in all honesty I am abnormally scared of someone breaking in.

Collete - that sucks. I'm so sorry!

I hate my former boss, now co-worker. I dread coming in to work every day because I know I'm going to have to deal with her moody sh*t that she inflicts on everyone. I don't know how much of a confessiong this, but just thought I'd put it out there.

ttara - I am exactly the same way. I am even scared when my DH IS there because he sleeps so heavily that he has no idea what's going on and noises don't wake him up. I blame it on watching way too much Law and Order SVU. I just always think someone is going to break into my house and murder us in some incredibly grewsome way.

Collete - I am so sorry. I am giving you a HUGE virtual hug right now. I hope you can find a way to cheer yourself up over the holiday. We are here for you!!

My confession: I am starting to have panic attacks because of our financial situation. We are in really bad shape and my DH still isn't bringing in any money from his sales job and it's really making me start to resent him and that scares me. Every time I try to talk to him about it he tells me to try to calm down and pray. Yes, we are both pretty religious, but praying isn't going to pay our F-ing bills. Then comes the guilt for feeling like in saying that I am saying I don't believe in God. I feel this anger and bitterness building up inside of me and I don't know what to do with it. Also, I can't bring myself to talk to any of my friends about this because it's embarassing. I just want to cry.

1. As you all know, my grandma passed away on November 8 and I feel so sad and angry, moreso angry. I don't even know why I'm so angry, I think I kind of feel like she abandoned me (although I know she didn't). I feel stupid for feeling that way too, I'm not a little girl to be feeling that way.

2. I don't want to ruin my family's holiday because I'm in a pissy mood.

3. Mimi has been a nightmare lately, I would just like to have some time to myself.

4. I got a new DSLR and although I love it and love photography, I have no motivation right now to take it off auto and learn to actually use the camera.

5. Now that my grandma is gone, my uncle and his family are just talking shit and it's annoying the hell out of me.

Collette, that totally sucks, I'd be pissed too. I'm so sorry.

jj · Kate Spade

Ha ha ha - Dr. Oz creeps me out too!

My confession: I resent that my hubby has 10 nieces and nephews that he insists we buy xmas presents for each year. Even if we go uber-thrifty, it still adds up, then we have NO extra spending money for December - January. Plus, half of them are not even related, because his WT family divorces and remarries so many times.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

We are not doing Thanksgiving tomorrow. There is only two of us so it's a waste to put all that effort into making a huge dinner. Instead we are off to the casino for dinner and gaming. I just hope I don't feel like I missed out or feel evil for being out and about on Thanksgiving!

I'm hosting a girl's night Saturday and should be cleaning and organizing house instead of being on the computer! That being said, I'm signing off to clean!

Kelly · Hermes

Cortney1982 - that sounds like an awesome way to spend a Thanksgiving! Have fun!

sfclinevandy · Coach

1. I went shopping today. I wanted to do some Xmas shopping by taking advantage of the already marked down for Black Friday sales. I bought my husband a pair of cufflinks. And for myself 2 cardigans, earrings and a pair of shoes. At least everything was on major sale, but I feel guilty buying everything for myself when I need to buy gifts for my sisters, inlaws and grandmothers.

2. I'm having a baby in a few weeks! I'm not telling anyone except my husbands and parents the exact date because I'm being induced and everyone seems to have some horror story about being induced or asking my reason for doing so. Well, it's my choice (with the support of my doctor) and I'm standing by it. I'm also not telling anyone the name I choose because I really don't want to hear others' opinions.

3. My husband is rather insistant about having a real Christmas tree. I think that sounds messy and a pain. With the whole baby coming before Christmas, I think it makes SO much more sense to get a fake one and call it a day.

4. Since the baby will be here about a week before Christmas, I can't think of anything more miserable than having to spend my Christmas/getting used to the new baby time with mother inlaw around. I REALLY hope they come see the baby AFTER Christmas.

5. My husband has a great interview at THE law firm... in a city 4 hours a way. It would be such a great opportunity for him and espcially since great jobs aren't so easy to be found in this wonderful economy. But I love the little house we're living in now, being close to my family, the new friends I've made, and just the thought of moving makes me so upset. Espcially with a new baby coming. I've been praying like crazy that a better opportunity comes along here in Atlanta so we can stay put.

6. Whenever I tell people that I don't plan on practicing law anytime soon and will be a housewife and mom, people look at me like I'm crazy or ask rude questions like why did I even go to law school or take the bar. Well, once again it's my choice and its what my husband and I think is best. And my parents who funded all of my education think my decision is great and would rather me concentrate on raising their first grandchild so I don't see why other people have such a problem with my choice.

AGHHH!! Collette! I feel your pain. And you aren't a terrible person for thinking that. Bahamas already, geez, rush much??

Ok...full blast, here goes:

1. I busted my soon-to-be-ex, who still lives with me and we aren't supposed to be seeing other people yet, staying at his new "girlfriend's" house last night. She was my son's blastball coordinator of all people! He had told me he was staying at his mother's house an hour away so that he could make an early business presentation near her home. She called this morning for whatever reason looking for him and I figured out that he didn't stay with mom. I confronted the derelict at work and he had to admit it. NICE, right before Thanksgiving!

2. I have a million things to do right now with the one class I am taking, my kids, christmas preparations, domestic crap. I JUST want to go home for the holiday weekend and I am instead trapped here! And now, Thanksgiving by myself without my children, because I had originally planned to have dinner with the in-laws and instead I just can't bring myself to because my MIL now knows that her derelict son has been CHEATING ON ME.

3. I don't want to buy Christmas presents for anyone (except my kids).

4. furious

in a nutshell...

it's going to get better, right???

Suasoria · Chanel

The ex from hell stories only make me feel guiltier that I'm trying to push DH into going on a ten-day retreat in January because I long for some time to myself. Ten days without him sounds really close to heaven right now.

I loathe Thanksgiving. I loathe going to my in-laws. Frankly I kind of loathe my in-laws too. Lately DH is as disgruntled as I am, so the good news is we'll stay only as long as is polite and then go to our friends' restaurant for the real deal.

alb · Marc Jacobs

Here goes: my husband is gone ALL the time and I honestly don't know which is worse - him being gone or him being here. He is so incredibly cranky and thoughtless when he's here that I'm really starting to resent him. Everything is "all about him." He's so rude to me (even when we are not technically fighting) but so nice to the kids. I'm so sick of living my life for someone else.

Kitty · Hermes

- Sometimes I wish I had a totally different life.
- I'm really bad at returning phone calls and totally flake on getting back to people.
- I've been going out drinking more and more with friends/coworkers and then driving home (I know, really bad!)
- Sometimes I eat fat free cool whip like it's ice cream.
- I can't stay within a budget.
- I have nothing to say to my parents or my brother. I feel like a horrible person but I just can't and don't relate to them at all.
- I weigh myself obsessively

Metric · Gucci

I'm having a rotten day so I have more... Pardon my negativity.

-When I know my bf's bestfriend is coming over I dread going home. He likes to play our Wii shirtless (in my livingroom!! Arggghhh!) and he has such an ugly body, I could throw up bleh

. Also he's a douchebag.
-there are 3 super nasty catty girls at my work I can't stand, everyday I hope they all get fired
-I am being super grinchy and not donating to any charities this year. I am too poor to spend the extra money and I feel super negative towards everyone with their hand out when I bust my ass for 40 hours a week.

subwolley · Kate Spade

My confession:

I hate Christmas. I really do. I hate all the stupid commericals on tv, and I really hate christmas music. I hate sitting around the inlaws house pretending I'm having a great time and playing nice, when I'm really bored out of my mind.

I can not wait till December is OVER! Maybe if I had Christmas's like in the movies, then maybe I would love it. I'd rather run to Mexico and be on the beach for the holidays.

1. I wish that my husband's family, the ENTIRE family, would just go live on a deserted island and stay there forever! Not sure if any of you remember, but about two years ago we had to get a protection order again FIL and BIL. The problem now is not them, but the rest of the family promote the lies that they have been told by the MIL. It is just insane! One of my BF's saw my husband's aunt the other day. She told her that she had heard that my husband and I were now Jehovah's Witness and that is why we couldn't come around the family anymore. This was news to me, especially considering the fact that my friends who are Jehovah's Witness do not celebrate Christmas and I just put up four Christmas trees! I hate them for constantly spreading lies instead of facing the facts that they are horrible people and drove us away!

2. There is someone at work that I really don't like AT ALL. This person thinks they know it all and makes stupid decisions that negatively impact the rest of us. Said person is also extremely rude and I am at my wit's end! Everyday when I walk in that building I am afraid I will tell the jerk off and end up in HR. Besides that person I LOVE my job and I hate that one person is ruining a wonderful place.

3. One of my favorite friends just had a beautiful baby girl. I am so happy for her. What I am sick of,though, are other people who know that my friend had a baby and then ask if now I am going to have one since she did? Just like in highschool when I didn't do drugs even though my friends were doing them, I am not letting peer pressure get to me this time. I swear the next time someone asks me that question I am going to tell them that maybe if they contribute money for child care and around the clock assistance then I may reconsider!
