I feel inferior to my SAHM friend on a weekly basis. She works out of her home for her FIL's home business and can do so much stuff with her daughter (6 weeks older than my DD). And she can do errands during the week so the weekend is free to have playdates and do fun things. I have to cram my chores into the weekend and rarely manage to find the time to do playdates, let alone fun arts & crafts and field trips and whatnot. I always beat myself up when we're with them because I feel like in comparison I don't measure up and I'm not good enough at managing work, home, being a mom, being a wife, and being a friend.
I went to bed thinking/feeling like a good poop was coming this morning. But, sadly, no. I was ridiculously sad that there was no poo.
And a good farmer's blow in the shower, after steaming up your sinuses and loosening everything up, sure is satisfying.
I 100% agree with this. I used to hide my ginormous nasal purges from DH but now I'm like, "Dude, did you hear that one hit the wall?!"

Lmao @LiteraChick Seriously laughing out loud at work. People are staring.
The office on the floor above is is staining wood today (remodel), so the fumes are just seeping down into our office. I don't know how much longer I'm going to last this afternoon before I leave work early. It just started about an hour ago so just got bad, but there's no way I'm sitting here inhaling stain fumes while pregnant for an entire afternoon. I'm pretty sure my office will side-eye me.
I'm going to third the nose-picking @aliletz. Sometimes those things are stuck and no amount of blowing will get them out.
I really think nose picking is about nose cleanliness. I'm more grossed about about letting all that junk sit in your nose. I don't see a problem with it if done discretely.
I had one all ready for this week, but this morning's events have trumped it.
I've been keeping crackers at my desk in a ziplock bag. This morning I took a bite of one, and as I was chewing, realized that there were TINY BITE MARKS in all the crackers (including the one I was eating) and a hole chewed in the bag! I ATE MOUSE OR RAT CRACKERS!!! I spit it out and went to the nurse to partake in her bubblegum mouthwash. But I am disgusted. I haven't eaten lunch meat in 4 months, and here I am swapping spit with mice. Awesome.
Yesterday I came in to work wearing mine (And I had my hair up in a french twist, etc) and a coworker told me I looked like a classic 60's type British spy... I let myself strut the rest of the day on that cause I felt so cool.
I almost ran over David Gandy's doppelganger in our work parking lot coming back from lunch.
My confession: I wish I actually did so I could have jumped out of the car to cradle his head in my lap while gently brushing the hair away from his face, asking if he was alright.
He was gorgeous. He waved at me and I waved back like a mindless idiot. Why didn't anyone tell me this guy worked in our building?! And why have I never seen him before?!
Apparently I told DH that this pregnancy would be different and I would be more "into it"...I was probably a little (or a lot) buzzed at the time and so far...nada. I feel the same way as @mana84 about being touched. DH was getting really persistent recently and I finally had to say that that was actually turning me off. He's left me alone since and I probably need to initiate something soon...
I am worried that this SharkBaby is going to displace my love for my cats. I had a dream the other night it was the zombie apocolypse and I had to kill my cats because it was more humane than having them get eaten by zombies. I woke up sobbing, and woke Mister up with my crying.
On the flipside I think one of the cats is going to love the SharkBaby more than me, and I'm kind of angsty about that.
Ok, I'm posting this here so I don't get someone in trouble. This girl I'm friends with on FB (I don't know why?) posted what I interpret to be as so inappropriate. She's a special education teacher and teaches HS. Today she posted:
"My favorite part of being a SPED teacher is during our a annual chili cook off convincing my students to try habanero peppers. I made an 18 year old cry today!"
Am I crazy or is this so inappropriate?
Not only is that inappropriate, it's downright disgusting.
WTF is wrong with people? And why do those people decide to work with youth, much less kids with special needs?
Uh, that sounds downright abusive to me. What a twatwaffle.

What type of SPED teacher? I guess I'm not that concerned, especially if it's a student who is basically mainstreamed. I taught high school, and I can see the appeal to convincing a tough kid to try something like that. hell, I tried every day to get "I'm the toughest strongest kid in this entire city" to come to a rugby practice with me.
there are two motivations in sports, which is yours?
My husband bought me alcohol removed wine, I haven't tried it yet but I'm hopeful!
I LOVE grape juice
Oh my god, I didn't even think about how stupid that sounded. He found it in the store but it's probably essentially grape juice marked up in price. I'm going to pretend it's wine. He said they carded him to buy it!
My FFFC: I came home from my second (and last) day of work this week two hours ago and collapsed on the couch with my laptop. Now I'm hungry and don't want to get up, so I ordered Pizza Hut and asked DH to go get it, pretty please. I am the epitome of lazy right now.

Super inappropriate! Way more inappropriate that she'd brag about it on fb.

Married 7.28.2012 DD born 7.27.2014 BFP 09.2015 - m/c 10.21.2015
My FFFC I have done nothing today... I woke up ate... Took a nap for 3hrs... Woke up played on my phone... ate... Watched tv and now DH will be home any minute and I'm sitting in the recliner contemplating another nap.
I ate 2 donuts for breakfast, a gallon (maybe a little exaggeration) of queso and chips for lunch (we had a Superbowl party) and I just polished off the 1lb bag of Twizzlers that I've had at my desk for roughly 3 days.
My FFFC would have to be that I'm hating on my BF a little right now. He's amazing and has been incredible with this pregnancy, but I am SORELY regretting letting him read the literature the doctor gave us. ALL I wanted for the Superbowl was a package of ring bologna (my fav) and as I'm reaching for it, he practically swatted my hand. It's too "close to lunchmeat"- and he made me CALL the OB and ask while in the grocery store, and when they said no, he beamed happily about being right and trotted me away while I gave him death stare. I'm like you guys, most things are fine in moderation, but he's not budging on this one, so I'm going to have to live without, sadly enough. Any other crazy food guards in your houses?

I bought that too! There actually is a little bit of alcohol in it, they carded me as well when I bought it.
helloblueeyes I just wanted to say that I feel for you. I have a friend on an insulin pump and she had some rough times when she was pregnant. And probably TMI, but I understand the no pooping thing. I thought my tailbone was going to break again the other night. Pregnancy is no picnic IMO.
Late to the party but my FFFC is that I hate clarifying why I edit my posts and sometimes I just don't. PS I also pick my nose. I feel so liberated being able to share that. @aliletz is a pioneer.

Dear god in heaven. The ring bologna just made me retch. No lips and assholes. Noooooooooooooo
@sxymamakat yep, my DH is pregnancy police too. My main thing has been trying to taste his beer (we're craft beer snobs!) just a TASTE not even a sip, and he gets so mad! I'm like dude- I don't want to give this baby alcohol either, I JUST WANT TO TRY YOUR DAMN IPA!!! He let me taste his wine last night so I think we're getting somewhere.
My FFFC? I have a damn yeast infection. I JUST got over a UTI and now this. Chill out Vajayjay! Grrrr...

I know- when I stop to think about it, I cringe horrifically and swear off it, then the next time I'm at the store, I'm like "but it's soooo good!"
And @symphony4586, I sort of agree- but if it's in the fridge, he'll totally throw it out. He's indulged anything I want that's on the food list, but if there is even any question, he's crazy about it. I'm chalking it up to FTD syndrome, but it's making me a sad panda. :-(
@hokiemom86 me too!! I found a shirt online that reads "If you didn't put it there, don't touch"... I wore it once around this friend who always touches me, problem solved.
Re: FFFC!
@BPaws, but do you wear them at night?

Sorry. I guess my FFFC is that I am that chick.

My new bedroom toy came in the mail today. I have never been so excited in my life. Tonight, (if I don't pass out) its going down!!!
No shame
