I talk in my sleep and say crazy hinges that don't make sense "do you want towels with those raisins???" I have no idea.

According to DH I said "Don't send me to bed without supper" in my sleep the other night.  It was strange because I had eaten dinner and I never use the word supper.  Apparenlty he tried to remind me I had eaten before bed.

I have one today! yay!

I just recently looked over my "foods to avoid" sheet my MW gave me at my 8 week intake appointment. Totally says to limit hotdogs and corndogs due to nitrates. YEAHHHH....I have gone on binges where I eat a whole pack of hotdogs in a week, and have had SEVERAL corndogs.

I don't really feel that bad about it....

Jumping on the pastry train- I stopped at Caribou for an iced decaf coffee, and even though I already had greek yogurt for breakfast, I ordered a raspberry white chocolate scone to go along with the coffee.  When I got to work, a student brought the teachers doughnuts, so I grabbed one and squirreled it away in my classroom.  I fully intend to scarf that thing down as soon as school is over and my door is closed!  I really need to start backing off the sweets...

"If you're too lazy to eat the food in the corners of the bowl, I WILL let you starve!!!!"

....might have been what I said to the seriously distressed, starving feline that was driving me insane this morning. We had a similar conversation at 330am when I fed her while I was up to pee.

So I let her 'starve'....

For 10 minutes while I took a shower. Then I shook the food to the middle of the bowl and she was happy.


She pisses me off.

Oh! I have another one, the random thoughts board sparked this. I am terrified to have another orgasm. Last time, my uterus contracted so hard and long that it freaked me out. It almost knocked the wind out of me. It was a good O, but not worth that intensity that followed.

I love how we always talk about food.  It makes me feel less guilty when I see so many posts about all the doughnuts, muffins, fast food, etc.  I eat too much ice cream.  Multiple times a day I eat it.  And I'm excited about the warmer weather because we'll be able to go out for ice cream soon.

This pretty much sums up my day...

Both of my dogs smell from being in the yard today since it is in the 70's and sunny. I know I should give them a bath, but I am seriously considering pulling the pregnancy card on DH to get out of it. I feel bad because he is working two jobs today, but the thought of scrubbing two stinky 50 lbs. dogs makes me gag and want to nap.

You can also add me to the drinking coffee and soda group. Before getting pregnant I got migraines pretty regularly and they seem to have become more frequent since Feb. The only thing that helps (slightly) is tylenol and caffeine, especially since my prescription medicine for them is off limits.

My two don't beg for food in the middle of the night, but one will push his metal bowl all over the kitchen so he can eat the kibble that has fallen on the floor since they're messy eaters.

Also- this isn't food related, but my poor dummy has been locking herself in the baby's room. She likes to play with doors, and so I keep walking in or waking up to the sound of her meowing because she shut herself in the room. FI finally put his shoes down to block the door open so she can't close it. SMH.

I'm in the process of clogging up the pool filter with dead algae because I'm too tired/lazy to stand out and vacuum the pool to waste (bypasses filter, but drains water from pool). So I put the robotic vacuum in the pool, but it vacuums through the filter.... Maybe DH wont notice?

Now that I found out my maternity leave is completely unpaid (after I spend whatever PTO I've managed to save until then) I'm kind of thinking about job searching now instead of later. I was originally going to look for a new job after mat leave because I thought I needed to stick around here so I could qualify for FMLA, but it's unpaid whether I stay here or go to a new job so whatever.

Anyone willing to pay me about $400 a week to stay home and read books or eat food or test mattresses? I'm really good at all of those things. 

Do we work at the same place? I have no clue how much maternity leave I get, because the city doesn't have a mat leave plan. Which is so dumb, I couldn't believe it. And I don't get FMLA, which I already figured because I just started in November (yay surprise pregnancy). So any time besides what I have saved up, is totally up to my manager, and what he thinks I should get...which is so jacked up. I have no idea if it will be a week or six weeks or none at all.

I'm probably quitting anyway, but it still makes me so frustrated that it is up in the air like that.

This really sucks. I also don't get paid maternity leave because I'm part time (i had to move to part time when I got sick) plus maternity leave is only 3 months/12 weeks and ONLY because it's FMLA.

So I've switched to decaf coffee most of the time, but I was exhausted this week so got a regular flavored coffee and a croissant. As I was loading up my caffeinated coffee with 4 packets of sugar, a very clearly pregnant woman was also getting coffee. She got Decaf. I didn't feel guilty.

DH and I moved some stuff out of what will be the nursery last weekend and he wouldn't even let me carry a laundry hamper thing that isn't even heavy!  I was annoyed at first, then I thought, well, OK then, I'll play along and sit back and watch while everyone else struggles.

And I've really gotten sick of most of the people I have to interact with at work. I've been pissy all week so the less I have to talk to them, the better. I can't wait for my maternity leave so I don't have to deal with them or any of the headaches that will happen from all these projects coming up!  HA - Good Luck with that suckers!

All week I've told my H that it's been too cold out for me to walk the dog as I can't do up any (ANY) of my jackets. My sweaters barely fit my boobs/bump too.
The truth is that I'm just too damn lazy!

I'll confess that this Heartbleed stuff is over my head and I don't know what I'm supposed to do about it. Like... I can change my passwords, but isn't it too late at this point? I'm really dumb when it comes to online security. 

Oh, and @K&M9, basically the problem was that a lot of popular websites that used the httpS://www.whatever, that had the little padlock on them, weren't quite as secure as everyone thought. There's a flaw that meant hackers could get at your username and password. Yes, you should still change your password, it's not too late. (and probably be a good idea to keep an eye on your bank accounts too for any weird activity up to when you change your password).  The key is to not change your password until the website has fixed the flaw by applying the patch.  Once you change it, you should be fine.

Per Kaspersky, Change it on all these if you use them: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, Yahoo, AWS, Box, Dropbox, Github, IFFT, Minecraft, OKCupid, SoundCloud, Wunderlist

And then reference this site, for a really easy to use list of the sites to change your password on:

K&M9, it has been out there for a couple years but it sounds like people believe that hackers weren't necessarily aware it was out there, until all the press about it existing and fixing it.   So yes, the bad dudes could already have your bank acct info and credit card numbers and whatever else. And from what the 'experts' are saying there's no way to go back in time and fix that part. So the fix really is from this point forward. 

This is a good article on it, it's a little long and somewhat technical, but skip down to these parts: Why Heartbleed is So Scary, There's nothing you can do about the past, and What Next.

I'm in IT so I kind of geek out a bit on this stuff

My confession is that every time my MIL updates me one her sisters breast cancer status I swear I have to hold back from screaming "I don't care"! Her sister is a heartless B@$#*. She uses and treats my MIL like crap. My husband can't stand her and all I could think when I found out she had cancer was Must be karma...

I know...I'm awful but I could tell you tons of stories that would make your mouths drop about the crazy that she is carrying around.

babypants11

@Peaece13‌ - ouch. Nobody, not even a crazy bitch, "deserves" cancer. Breast cancer is no joke.

My FFFC is that I don't really care about all this Heartbleed security stuff.  I changed my password on my bank account, but nothing else because it seemed like a lot of work.

I have a problem saying the phrase "you're in my thoughts and prayers." I don't pray, so in the past when I have said it it has felt very unnatural and awkward and forced.. Usually I just say "I'll be thinking about you," but everyone always says thoughts and prayers, so Ito me it sounds weird. I'm actually really awkward when I comfort people in general. I'm good for the sitting there and listeningPart, but comforting words are not my strong suite

I don't pray either so I don't like giving "Ts&Ps" because it feels fake. On the boards I tend to stick with "sending thoughts for peace/strength/etc."

Also I think we're twins because if someone in real life tells me, like, their best friend was in a car accident I usually stutter a bit before saying something like, that's so sad, are they ok, etc. So awkward. I think it's because I'm such a private person that I kind of save those feelings for the people closest to me so it's harder to pull them out when I need to use them. Does that make sense?

100% agree. I'll usually say I'll keep ppl in my thoughts, wishing all the best... I've a friend who asks for us to keep someone in our prayers often (she's super religious, I'm not in the least) so she's totally understanding when I respond with one of the above.
But I'll admit, T&P's would be easier to type

And now for my FFFC. I have two, and they're lame, but hey.

1) This could also be an UO. I'm a little sad I haven't seen very many crazies on board lately. The best source of my humor is these posts, and I feel like I'm running out!

2) I get bummee don't love tit or quote my posts. I think I'm freakin' hilarious! In my oay. Even though I suggested the labor buddies, I haven't signed up yet because I'm not sure I'm "known" enough! So I'm all like:

OK, I'm done with the woe is me!

Can i say...i am the same way. I think im totes halarious and awesome so i get sads when no one quotes or loves tits me...then when i get loves tits and quotes i secretly celebrate a little in my head. I signed up for the labor buds but no one has said they want me...its a little bummer but its probably because no one recognizes me
