Do you have a confession to make, part 9

New thread time.

I confess that DD got on my very last nerve today more than once, and when she did a thankfully rare bedtime stall routine I lost it and tossed her on the bed. It didn't hurt her at all (I mean, it's a bed) but it did scare her a little. She hasn't come out again in an hour. I think she got the point.

I confess I am also not sure I am cut out to SAH full time. I am in the middle of planning our "school year" now because I am bored out of my head. I can't bake or cook anymore than I already do, and while I would love to craft, we don't have a dedicated space where I can work on stuff and leave it in progress. I've decided to take a German class for Moms and Tots twice a week, baby swimming for DS once a week and I am looking for a playgroup.

We've got a TV in DS's room and the only channel in English is CNN, so I am on a first name basis with the anchors and am pretty up to speed on world current events. If it wasn't for that TV, I'd be pretty clueless.

BusyBee- I'm about 99.9 percent sure every SAHM feels like that once in a while!

I confess that I'm going to sneak out of work for an hour or so to meet the kids at the zoo. I have no meetings today and I'm a bit blah about work right now, so an afternoon out seems like a good idea. Not to mention my boss is on vacation.....

I confess I know the solution to the problem a colleague is experiencing. But I am feeling very snarky about it, and I'm not telling her.

DH asked me over a month ago to ask around for Red Sox tickets for when his dad visits. I confess that I asked around to the few people who may be able to get free tickets but when that didn't pan out I pretty much dropped the ball on it. There were plenty of good tickets available on Stubhub just a week ago but I really didn't want to pay for them. Now the game is a week away and I am starting to feel bad b/c DH never gets to do stuff like this with his dad so I decided to suck it up and buy them, but when I checked back on Stubhub today the only affordable tickets are SRO, even the bleacher seats are expensive. Argh. What do I do now?

I actually LOVE standing room tickets at Fenway. I wouldn't want to do it all the time but once in a while it's really run. Plus standing room areas are always near beer stands.

Did you try to post on FB to see if any locals have tix?

Try craigslist.

I second CL. That's where I always look for tickets.

I think you can be 100% sure. There are days when I want nothing more than to sit in my old workplace doing my busy work with my ipod on, then go out to lunch with my co workers. There are days when DD gets on my last nerve (like yesterday) when I think if I am home with her one more day I'm going to go postal. But then there are days when I take DD and her BFF to the splash park or the Portland Childrens Museum and they have SO much fun and I am glad I don't miss out on that.

Honestly, being a SAHM was harder on me in some ways when DD was younger and not so interactive. I felt more isolated and alone and just plain bored sometimes. Now that she is actually a companion we do have a lot of fun most days.
