The official public confession thread

[HouseofWool]

Tuesday and the return to school cannot come soon enough. Somehow a holiday weekend seems like a cruel ending to summer because we are all tired of each other.

And keeping S quiet is a monumental challenge. Yesterday she tried to do yoga with me, then complained that her arm hurt. No shit, Sherlock. It's f'ing broken.

I managed to trade out a bunch of toys from our basement. Now the boys are involved in a very noisy game of pretend involving toy snakes, spiders, dinosaurs, robots, and a spiderman web thrower. Gosh, how did my kids get so many obnoxious, ugly toys? I bought the dinosaurs but I have no idea how the rest got here. All the quiet, gender neutral toys I so carefully curated are ignored. And yesterday, K2 was running around in a batman costume using a baby doll as a rifle. *sigh* guess I should just be happy that the tv is off.

Wait, I'm confused. How is that relevant to getting engaged? You are so so so much more than your job and income.

My confession:

I spent $30 buying my toddler riding boots. We are going to wear them with our matching skinny jeans and sweaters.

Um, I cannot wait til E can wear riding boots. I saw a two year old in some and almost died. So much cuteness.

Dh and I are looking at hiring a personal assistant to help us.
OMG how did we become those people....

[BonBon]

Don't feel bad...I just hired someone to take care of my crap at home. I can't keep up. :/

What will you have them do? (And you have two demanding jobs and are married to a resident, that's how!)

I was thinking 10-15 hours a week. Light cleaning, errand running, maybe some grocery shopping and feeding and paying attention to the dogs.

Does that sound reasonable? We are looking on care.com

[BonBon]

I think so! I got lucky and found my lady through a friend. Iirc, sittercity also has a section for household help.

I would write a fairly detailed list of what you want done if you haven't already. (I am unreasonably excited about the fact that someone else will now be changing/washing sheets. Haaaate doing the beds.)

I think a lot of people would jump at that opportunity. College student?

My confession:

I'm entering my kid into a BabyGap cute kid contest

[bokelley]

I am surprised by how many people have applied. This may be easier than I thought

[Sheherezade]

It is a better gig that elder care, I'd guess. Keep us informed. I may want to become "those people" too!

What awful wife level do I achieve if I admit that DH being off an away rotation is kinda sorta messing with the enjoyable alone time I was enjoying for the past few weeks? I honestly thought his away rotation would leave me sad and super lonely but actually it was peaceful. I slept better, didn't have to deal with his clutter, and no one was telling me to please turn down the volume on the tv/audiobook because he can hear it in the office.

Bad wife. Bad.

You just leveled up as a medical spouse!

Lol Laurie!

Leveled up! Love it. When do I defeat the main bad guy and rescue myself?
