Whenever someone offers me something to eat that I don't want but I don't want to offend them I tell them I'm on a diet so they don't push the issue.
I've also been claiming to be starting a diet tomorrow for the last 5 months.
I tell people that I can't because of pumping. It's partly true b/c of all of DD's intolerances, but I refuse plenty of food solely because I'm a health nut and it's easier than going into why I won't eat something they might think is healthy.

@peanutmuse do you put anything in your hair between washes? My hair is almost the same shade as yours (light blonde with strawberry undertones) and it's gotten so dry since having DD it has started breaking. When I don't wash it, the roots alone get obviously greasy because they are a darker shade. I even tried making my hair regulate by only washing every 2-3 days and it never did. Maybe it's more noticeable for me because my hair is straight?

@CarolinaGirl2014 -- no, I don't put anything in my hair. But I am a dance instructor, so I either put it in a ponytail or bun every single day.
And I just don't care, haha.
But when I used to work in an office, I'd wash it about 2 times a week and on the greasy days, I'd put some baby powder in at the roots to absorb moisture. Just a little bit -- and it worked well for me.
@peanutmuse I love your IDGAF mentality- I could use some of that! I think I'll try your baby powder method from now on. My hair is the texture of hay right now.

Also related to cleaning: We were supposed to move out in a couple of weeks to a different house on base since they're demolishing all of the houses on our street... So I put off cleaning for a month because "I'll just have to do it again when we move".
They're not moving us until October now... Fuuuuuuck. Finally finished at least.
Along with the cleaning... We only wash our sheets every two months or so.. Especially since we haven't had any ST. I haven't cleaned the showers since December.
My first confession. Today at the dinner table, DH was trying to get DS to stop crying. He kept trying the paci and getting pissed when he wouldn't take it. I said I'd take him and nurse him in a sec. DH said "didn't he just eat?" I explained that babies don't just nurse when they're hungry, sometimes they are thirsty or need to relax, etc. He said "well why doesn't he nurse on the pazzi?" (his nn for pacifier, haha.) I told him it totally wasn't the same thing, he argued with me until I compared the paci to a dildo. Of course my 4 yearl old jumped on that, asking what a dildo was! Oi, I was speechless, trying to come up with an answer. All the while she is chanting "dildo, dildo, what is a dildo?" I told her I said Bilbo, like Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit. She didn't buy it and continued to repeat the word the rest of dinner.
