I had no idea that big sporting events were huge hubs for this sickness! Terrible to think about. https://elitedaily.com/news/world/the-ugly-truth-behind-the-super-bowl-and-sex-trafficking/

Hubs is away, baby is asleep, and I'm saying to hell with my low fat diet.

FunkyPhoenix

@CL8badB Apparently my city is ranked #1 for trafficking now. I didn't know that either! Thinking of all the children forced into this makes me sick.

Cookie Butter! I thought you all were miss typing things whenever you mentioned it. What is it?

Haha! It's the consistency of peanut butter but tastes like cookies. It's delicious!

Tonight is going to be a rough night. Grayson has a nasty cough that the doctor says is from his teething with all the saliva but I'm not sure I really buy that. I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow that's an hour away so hopefully I get some sleep tonight. I hate how miserable my poor baby is

dmlk413

Ugh, I hate when I'm up in the night and I hear creepy noises. I want to wake DH but he tends to overreact about these things.

Where do you buy cookie butter? @tttwalters I also thought they were mistyping.

LO woke up at 230 this morning which hasn't happened in a while. I let him try to work it out but eventually went in at 3 to feed him and change him. Fell back asleep at 4 and up again at 5. I have to be to work at 7 today.

Ive never heard of cookie butter till now, what do you eat it with?  Like a spread? Out of the container? on Ice cream?

I doubt they even sell it in Canada so maybe I shouldn't get too excited. 

Any way you want. I eat it like a spread on graham crackers. It's also good on dark chocolate.

@42butterflies google says we are getting a TJ's in "late 2014" wanna hold me over until then? My diet doesn't start until I stop bf-ing

daffy2k

@tttwalters and @Mrsveinotte - I've never had the Cookie Butter from Trader Joe's everyone is talking about, so no clue if it's the same idea, but President's Choice makes a cookie spread. It's chocolate with crumbles of their chocolate chip cookie in it. I found it by the peanut butter.

ETA: words

To be honest, I didn't love it. But I really wasn't sure how to eat it. I think the pretzel suggestions are a really good idea. The salty would cut the sweetness just a little

GracieL79

Hit post before I finished! Long story short, I may have just had a brownie with TJ's cookie butter on top for breakfast. It was the best thing ever!!

phishgirl29

@GracieL79 How are you???  I start work on Monday and I was thinking about you.  Was it hard to transition back to your students?

GracieL79

@phishgirl29 I'm hanging in there, thanks. The transition wasn't too difficult. It was really exhausting in the beginning, but it's getting better. It still feels like September though. I'm constantly reinforcing rules and procedures, but I guess that's to be expected. Good luck on Monday!! Let us know how it goes. My friend/co-worker returns Monday from maternity leave too.

numbersgirl08

Loving all the cookie butter talk. One thing that I've never tried but would be delicious - cookie butter and Nutella together spread on anything!

On another note, N has decided she only naps for 45 minutes now. Boo! I need 1-1.5 hrs to either relax long enough to enjoy it or to get anything done!

FunkyPhoenix

My child only napped for 15 minutes at a time all week at daycare. Waiting for him to wake up so we can go to the lake and he's been sleeping for over an hour. Go figure.

Grayson actually slept surprisingly well last night. I thought it was going to be hell with his cough. He started waking up a little around 5 so I gave him a small bottle and another dose of Tylenol and he slept until almost 9. Hopefully I can make it to the baby shower today.

numbersgirl08

Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Hubby just got an internship offer at a super prestigious consulting firm in Atl! He has worked SO HARD the past few months to get one of these offers and it is SUPER exciting that he did. We're headed home for the summer and then he will prob work there full time when he graduates - so we can go back home for good after he gets his MBA. I'm so pumped! We're bringing out one of our fancy bottles of wine tonight!

tttwalters

So first day of 30 day sex challange, thank you for the suggestion @nykkolaughs. We took advantage of Williams naptime

Did the mama who lived in Australia but was visiting family in the states ever post again after her very overwhelmed post? I am worried about her. @GalLaura maybe?

Ok, this cookie butter everyone is talking about. Does it actually contain nuts? Like... is it peanut butter with cookie in it? I can't eat peanuts, so I'm trying to gauge whether or not to make the trip to TJ's.

Nope! I'm allergic to nuts too and can eat as much cookie butter as I want!

I think I need to start a Trader Joe's grocery list for April when LO and I go down to my parents house in Phoenix for a few weeks. Canadian grocery stores suck!

WasNotWas

Ok I love this kid, he just ate tofu and whole wheat tortilla for lunch. I apologize to all BLW people for silently thinking you were crazy and that it wouldn't work

riansmommie

usually I never post about my LOs sleep habits because they are horrible, but last night was amazing!! I have no idea what was different but he slept from 9-3 woke but was comforted back to sleep in under a min, slept from 3-7 woke to nurse fir 5 mins than slept from 705-948!!!! I guess me threatening to start sleep training scared him for the night lol.

numbersgirl08

Just started Scandal!

I'm being an AW, but I love this picture!

@Pitchslap - my parents are actually in Maricopa, so not right in Phoenix either. DD and I are going to end up being down there for a month once it's all said and done. I really wanted to go down when my mom was there (she still teaches so she only gets a week to go on spring break) but DH's parents wanted us to spend Easter with them down there. So DD and I fly down with my mom at the end of March, then after she leaves we are just going to hang out with my stepdad until DH and the rest of his family show up. I'm super excited!

Ahhh I've been so busy the last couple days i'm finally all caught up. Breastfeeding is suck a mind-fuck I bought formula because my kid is constantly biting me during nursing. I cried after I gave him one ounce in his bottle yesterday. And he was up all night super gassy (
Please take no offense FF mommas I know there is nothing wrong with it at all. I'm just very emotional over weaning.

HeartLikeMine3

Oh and I think cookie butter would make it all better.

@heartlikemine3 emotionally it's tough, but physically it's joyous to get your body back! Just do what feels right when it feels right

HeartLikeMine3

Thanks @wasnotwas, I keep telling myself how awesome it will be to eat dairy, drink all the margaritas and get back in shape!
