Put em here! Although, I won't mind if they're tame and lighthearted. Yesterday was rough.

@missyishere did you even go to sleep last night or are you pulling an all nighter?

DD won't go back to sleep. We've read, done her routine, and she's not having it. She's gotten up really early all week, and I'm beat. We are lying on the couch and watching the Big Bang Theory until our babysitter (grandma) gets here so I can shower. I just can't take Elmo or a kids show at the moment.

I still let my kid see family guy and South Park. He just turned a year, so I know I am well past the age of him just liking the bright colors. Regular tv he pretty much ignores ( unless it is the beloved Wheel of Fortune!), but anything animated sucks him in. I need to stop watching those shows around him ASAP. Edited because I can't spell

Lol I suppose watching BBT is pretty tame in comparison @kimbus22. She mostly chewed on my T-shirt the entire time anyway. I guess she doesn't find Sheldon very entertaining.

Last night I drove to DD's school for Back To School Night, quickly surveyed the parking situation (it was fucking ridiculous y'all), turned right back around and went home because fuck that shit. I feel bad, but seriously, Fuck. That. Shit. I don't do chaos.

I get so much joy out of scaring the children during TOT. Not the really LOs, of course. I loved it as a child and I am paying it forward.

NotSharknado

I've eaten Jimmy John's everyday this week. I have no regrets.

klondikebar

I'm afraid of balloons popping. I get all sweaty when the children are playing with them near me. I have to hold my pee in when I blow one up.

I am so tempted to try pot and see how it makes me feel. But there's the chance that I will be randomly tested at the doctor's office and I will not be able to get my pain pill prescription anymore. Son of a bitch.

FFFC:

I cried more over the deaths/breakdowns of Barbaro, Hickstead, and Eight Belles than some famous people in the news or other tragedies (car accidents, etc) that are reported. Yup, more tears for famous horses than some people. I know I'm terrible... But Hickstead was spectacular. It was terrible.

I took DS trick or treating as an infant and I went as a high schooler (yes, in full elaborate costumes, and usually for UNICEF) and am not ashamed. I think it's dumb to judge trick or treating.

I'm excited about Disney, but we're all sharing a room and I'm bummed about nine days without sex. NINE DAYS. I may die.

I'm going to have to limit my internet time because I thought we had fixed our internet bandwidth issue, but apparently we didn't. In 11 days it says we've used 72 gigs. Fucking 72 gigs! We are capped at 150 gigs each month. We still have like 20 days left in the cycle. Our wifi is password protected and we started keeping our desktop turned off and it's still our of control. Odd thing is we aren't doing anything different from the months where we only used 60 gigs the entire month. So I have no clue what is going on. How does a person use 2 gigs of Internet bandwidth while sleeping.

We had a similar issue when we got Netflix streaming and connected our new phones to the WiFi. We had to up our package.however, it never showed anyone using it when we were asleep. Maybe change your password?

The factt you can still have sex with HG is amazing. I barely could

I'm pretty sure I'm broken. Or perfect. Nothing shuts my drive down.

I've had sex after a day of brutal food poisoning or after nasty horse falls that made moving painful. The only thing that seems to shut me down is actively throwin up (but you just wait a bit) and a concussion. Concussions suck.

I thought that was totally normal for you.

It is but I used my big confession yesterday.

I'm gassy today.

My boss has put me in charge of a software upgrade. Well, technically, I have been in charge of the upgrade since I cam back from maternity leave with DD2. The software company has dropped the ball, but all of a sudden they are all business. Thing is, I planned on putting in my notice October 1. Now, I have to decide whether to forgo a $1,500 (which I earned for the previous year) and quit now or begin this upgrade and leave two weeks in.

My FFFC is I want to just leave today and not come back because I have zero desire to do even a minute of work towards this fucking upgrade which has been a constant source of stress for the past 18 months. I have a coworker that is working with me, so she and I would be learning at the same time.

I slept last night, but since starting on anxiety meds, I wake in middle of the night. I can usually fall back asleep.

There's working-out while pregnant and weight lifting while pregnant and weight lifting is dangerous and this woman pisses me off because she thinks she's perfectly ok doing it.

When I'm stressed out with kids, work, etc I always think a drink would improve the situation.  I don't get to act on this as often as I'd like though.

I totally did a FB invite for DD's birthday party instead of sending invites.

This article could have been done about me. I was doing similar workouts up until the day I was admitted to L&D.  My weights, reps, and exercises completed changed the further I got into my pregnancy. This isn't for everyone. My doctors supported my working out and I 100% think it helped me recovery from my c-section.

ETA: I always was covered. I would not have shown my pregnant belly.

sgreen13, While I agree 100% w/exercising and eating healthy during pregnancy, but this woman is holding a kettle ball over her head and dead lifting, that's just can not be safe.

@RondackHiker, I watched a documentary about Barbaro and admit to tearing up a little, but I do think it's weird that adults wrote him letters.

DH and I are planning on trying for another baby starting in April next year. I'm really excited and know our family doesn't feel complete yet, but I'm having major anxiety over the idea as well. I had a stroke when I was 24 from birth control pills, so pregnancy is high risk for me. I'm terrified something would happen while I'm pregnant and I'd leave my girls motherless. I seriously cry about this, but I still want another, so then I worry I'm being selfish and tempting fate.

@Brewcitygal, I am so sorry to hear about your stroke, so glad you were able to make it through.Would you and your hubs maybe think about adopting?

@Brewcitygal that's a lot. Stay positive.... GL

Two totally unrelated FFC:

I am way too excited about another season of the Shahs of Sunset;

I miss my sex life before getting married.

Oh, that shit was strange. It's still strange. They've got this "friends of Barbaro" group online that does rescue and shit. They'll talk about how they felt Barbaro's spirit and it's moving them to donate to this random ass person begging for money for their horse online (so many scams). There's a great video of some FOB (friend of Barbaro) dancing around a sculpture of him. They're freaking nuts.

And miss the point. Barbaro was a gorgeous horse with an incredible drive to win and fight. He was a bad ass mother fucker who'd have rolled his eyes at all this ridiculousness.

I loved that horse from the moment I saw him acting like an asshat before the Derby. I cried when he was hurt and followed his progress... But didn't write to him. Promise. ;-)

DS woke up early crying that his ear hurt so I guess he has an ear infection. He was sooooo pissy this morning. So pissy. Crying, screaming, throwing his breakfast, the whole shebang. DH s staying home with him, but I left for work like 25 mins early because the fussiness was too much for me to take. I'm a mean wife. Sorry, DH.

@prncbride

Why can't it be safe? The general rule is don't start something new while pregnant. From the article she has been doing crossfit prior to pregnancy. She is in a controlled environment with people watching out for her. Where are overhead squats with a kettle bell or deadlift banned for pregnant women?

Again, I'm not saying that everyone could complete a program like this. I am unable able to do high amount of weights while deadlifting - pregnant or not. This is a guideline given to me by my cardiologist. 

@sgreen13, I was told the exact opposite from my doctor and the trainer I was thinking about hiring during my pregnancy.  I'm glad it's ffc  hahaha

H and I are in a fantasy football league together this year and the two of us bet sexual favors on which of us will score the most points each weekend.

I bought a pair of leggings yesterday, the really thick sporty kind. I felt amazing in them and they make my ass look super sexy IMO.I asked Dh what he thought of them-totally fishing for a compliment! His answer of "meh, I'm not really sure I like them" tore me down a couple pegs. I was planning to return them but fuck that! If they make me feel good, why would I return them?!? I just wish Dh said "so hot! What to touch the heiney"

MrsT0514

@ncgirlgoingtori Im right there with ya. I miss my sex life before getting married too! Me and DH used to be aallll over each other. Now with DS, and DH working crazy hours...it just doesnt seem to happen.

LaurelBee

PS I got them at Costco if anyone is interested

LoveActually4

@laurelbee keep the leggings! I bet you look smokin' hot!

klondikebar

DD is babysitting for us tonight. DH and I haven't had a real date in a while. I really don't want to go. I'm just too tired at night and I don't feel like making myself look nice.  I feel guilty that I am dreading it.
