I called my boss a shitty representative of the Church and Her teaching. To his face. In a staff meeting. Please, something, anything other than stories of tampons falling out of vaginas when you sneeze. Woah, how did he react?

We usually just have milk in our morning coffee but I bought some half & half for a recipe so we’ve been finishing that off this week. I have had huge fluctuations in pregnancy rage every morning when MH asks if I want whipping cream in my coffee. He has a tendency to use the wrong word for things and get stuck on it and obviously if you know me you know I can’t stand that. So I have been like “yes thank you I will take some HALF & HALF.”
But I went to recycle the carton yesterday and it was whipping cream.

I have been victim of this too, but maybe not in the embarrassing way it happened to you. It’s the tampon technology of making the string draw moisture up into the tampon that does this. I find peeing with a tampon in to also be problematic. ugh I could always pee with it in before birth. Now, no amount of kegels hold it in for peeing. sad wow

I don't think this is flammable at all.

And before you feel bad for MH you should know that he definitely knew all along and was purposely getting my goat rather than pointing out the obvious. We’re a true love story.

I just bought an extraordinary amount of Harry Potter Legos. 7,300 pieces of HP legos, to be exact. Um. Can I come over and play?

Years ago when we lived in an apt I chastised my H for leaving the door to the patio open in the common space. He smoked out there and I always thought it was so rude that he left it open, even though he was ADAMANT that he closed it every time he came in. Fast forward to 6 MONTHS later and I am talking to a neighbor and he says "oh yeah, I love opening that patio door and just letting in the fresh air to the hallway. I do it daily." .... Oh...

I mean, not well. But I don’t believe that I’m wrong and I won’t back down on this. So he told me to say it again. So I did. And then he turned a funny shade of purple and we all stared at him. And then we moved on to discuss who’s donating the hotdogs for the picnic. I think there is a wrong way and a right way to address things with a boss.
I think to carry on like nothing on both sides made the whole thing lose it's something.

Oh reminds me of when I had my first newborn in February and I lost it asking H why he kept wearing his salty boots upstairs on the hardwood floors. Nah, that was me leaking breastmilk.

Wait, you bought them just because? That’s awesome! I mean that, sincerely. I have an extremely extensive Lego collection. Like it's our family hobby, so to speak. I made a spreadsheet recently to inventory total pieces and cost. With the HP legos I just purchased, I've exceeded 100,000 pieces on display. There are so so many confessions buried in there. Now you all know. we did this with Mh's lego collection when I told him he couldn't possibly have as many lego sets as he claimed in storage. I was... very wrong. We spent one entire winter assembling, cataloging, and categorizing all of his sets. One day we will have enough room to display them all.

My parents didn't get a rental car this time they came to visit. My brother picked them up at the airport and I drove them back for departure. When they hugged my brother goodbye, they gave him a $50 bill for "gas and tolls". He kept refusing it and trying to give it back until my dad finally got him to accept it. Confession- dad had done the same to me 2 hours earlier and I didn't try to reject it at all, I yelled "woohoo" and took it.

Oh, I totally agree. It was not my finest moment, but I won’t take it back because I meant it. If I were you I would apologize. You don't have to apologize for the sentiments, but you can apologize for how you communicated.

omg I cann't believe I'm divulging this but... further confession is part of the reason there is spreadsheet is that the monetary value of the lego collection is nearing the place where we might need a specific rider on our insurance to cover it. You know shit is dire when I'm confessing the depths of my nerd habit rather than talk about tampons falling out of vaginas. Oh man I would love to be a fly on the wall in the insurance office when you call about that. "You'd like a rider... for your Legos? For HOW MUCH??" I mean, I'm sure people call for all sorts of collections but this is just making me giggle. I love it for you. And tbh some of those HP sets do look kind of cool.

There are probably lego bandits triangulating you right now to rob you of your lego collection.

My H would love a lego room. My kids build the set and then smash it to build other stuff. Right now they are building a Santa sleigh and a dog pirate ship.

My 6 year old builds most of the Legos at this point. It's the most expensive diversion but he's incredibly good at building them. He can't do the technic ones just yet but he's getting there. SS was like this. He’d build really fast but then play for a long time so it was always worth the money.

Mh only buys Lego City and our friend buys all the houses and architecture sets. They want to buy a giant house together and convert the basement to a lego world.
His wife and I just smile and nod at the two grown men conspiring on how to set up their lego sets.
