Anything?

I am certainly not winning any awards. Char had McDonald's two times for breakfast this week.

I'm hoping that I go into labor so that I have a reason not to go to the wedding of one of H's employees tomorrow...a reason other than I just don't want to.

I don't think Colby has ever had mcdonalds.

Holly_1007

But. When DH was out of work he started doing breakfast with the kids while I made beds, picked out clothes and showered. He introduced apple jacks, captain crunch and cookie crisp to them and now they won't eat anything else. It makes me so mad.

Hannah had crunch berries this morning. She only eats maybe a handful (her hand) and then has real breakfast at daycare. I'm not worried.

Colby only has a handful as well, he has yogurt and fruit with it, but keagan eats a whole bowl followed by fruit. I have a cabinet full of healthy cereals and they won't touch it

I really need Gap to stop having sales.  It's embarrassing how many times gap appeared on my credit card statement in June and July.  I went to make returns yesterday, and ended up walking out with $4 in returns and a whole slew of new clothes for the girls.

I also think I need to start getting store cards, at least for gap and target, but for some reason haven't been able to pull the trigger.

I got our groceries delivered the other day and the guy had someone else's box mixed in with ours. I was totally judging the other person't purchases.

It brought me back to the judging someone's grocery belt debate we had way back when.

I am wearing a maxi skirt to work today despite being anti-maxis at work in the past.

I silently judged a mom at playgroup yesterday for the lunch she fed her "picky" child

I forgot to clean my newborn's belly button for three days. I remembered because it got stinky.

DS1 gets a treat a few times a week, but he has a great memory and will randomly shout out, "Tookie! Tupcake! Ice ream! M&Ms!" (Just one of those, except he does go down the line sometimes when I start saying no.) it's embarrassing in public and I'm sure everyone at Target thinks I only feed my kid sugar.

I'm always curious what's on daycare approved snack lists that makes parents complain about how there are no good choices.  I feel like I probably feed my kid a lot of them.

DD has been awake for 45 minutes now, but I'm way too busy watching Harry Styles videos on youtube.  

DH is bringing us McDonald's for breakfast.  

MOTY

MississippiCatfish

I think I had a McDs breakfast burrito for breakfast or 2 cheeseburgers for lunch 4/5 weekdays in June.

Eta: I haven't had either since having Howie, but they both still sound delicious.

One more edit: I always paid with cash so DH wouldn't know.

@loislayn How's work going? Has your co-worker gotten with the program??

pretzel sticks, those ritz cheese sandwich cookies and a Tupperware container of fruit snacks (at least 50 pieces)

She threw a fit on Wednesday when I asked her to go to OB and do a 3 day emergent medicaid app for an undocumented patient and her newborn, because walking all the way over there and standing for 30 minutes doing an app was a little much for me I thought. But then our boss put her in her place and point blank asked her "do you want to do this or do it all by yourself because she'll be at home for the next 6 weeks?" so that shut her up.

Then again, I'm not sure how much it's helping because I still had a lot of pain and ctx last night.

Ugh.  Hang in there!  Hope she takes what your boss said seriously.

I don't like McDonald's breakfast.  

I bought about 4 bottles of spray sunscreen for the kids before the new warning came out.  There is no way I'm not using it during vacation next week.

Holly_1007

I keep checking Colby's diaper because I smell something. Just realized it's me. Off to the shower!

Holly_1007

There is a cardboard rocketship in my living room still. The one from keagans birthday in January.

Neither one of my kids has had McDonalds.  

A co-worker of mine thinks this is insane.  I don't care what other people feed their kids, but I don't see why it's insane that my 4 and 1 year olds don't eat fast food.

(and FTR - I eat it from time to time, so it's not like I'm anti fast food)

I also hate the crap cereal that my DH will feed the kids from time to time.  He gave Aedan fruit loops this morning.  Aedan barely ate them and just kept begging for more oranges.

I've been out of the loop.  What's the new warning?  Our big kid uses spray sunscreen...

Before our daycare revamped our menu, they were feeding the kids cheese puffs (like the generic form of Cheetos) for snack.  Those I complained about.

I don't have Gap but I have the Target DC. I don't know why I wouldn't have it! It gives me 5% off each time and free shipping on stuff I'd already buy anyway. Do it!

My confessions:  

I stayed up way too late last night catching up on Big Brother when I should have been catching up on sleep.  

Even though I still have a decent amount of stuff I need to look at today, I'm not motivated to do any of it.  Work has been a little de-motivating lately and for the first time in my 8 year career, I've actually found myself disliking what I'm doing.  I need a break.  

And that is why I'm blowing up the FFFC feed this morning instead of what I should be doing.

My FFFC:
 

I bought more diapers from Walgreens when they had them on sale. I thought we were running a bit low. I checked his closet and I now have 20 packs of diapers. I now have 460 diapers in his closet. That's uumm...crazy.

I had McDonalds breakfast this morning. I forgot my lunch bag on the counter when I was in a rush out the door. I had a free drink coming and instead of getting the medium, I got the large. My butt does not need the large.

My child has had McDonalds way more times than he should but he'll eat the fruit first before anything.

I guilted DH into sex last night.
Me: Something about us having sex
DH: Something about being bloated and fat from dinner
Me: "I want you to go to work tomorrow and tell all the guys you work with that your wife was bugging you for sex. How many do you think will feel bad for you?"
DH: "Fine"

What a butthead.

The Target card is completely worth it.  5% off and free shipping.  

I also go back and forth on getting a gap card.  One of these days I need to pull the trigger.

DH is home today with a number of lists I generated for packing for vacation.  I have zero confidence that he will do what I consider as an acceptable amount of stuff to do when you are home all day.  Even though I know this and I should just accept it, I know I'm still going to be mad about it when I get home.  BTW, the kids are at daycare.

MarisaKathleen

Man, I just can't get it up about 99% of these things.  I don't feel bad for feeding my kid McD's a couple times in her life, I know how to use spray sunscreen and think that's another thing that was blown out of proportion by the media and yesterday when I went to pick up Nancy she was running around shooting our sitter's son with a nerf gun and laughing hysterically.  Also, I've never judged another Mom for what kind of snacks she feeds her kid or even noticed what someone has on the belt at the grocery store.  I just cannot care about any of this stuff.  There's not enough hours in the day for me to worry about any of it.  Also, @holly_1007, I have a Little Tikes big slide in my living room.  It'll get put away eventually! ;-)

My FFFC?  I'm sick and tired of my underwear rolling down so I bought some high waisted granny panties.  They're amazing.  I totally get why people want to wear them.  I think I'm secretly around 64 years old...I like my Orthaheel shoes, I like making homemade bread and now I like granny panties.

I dream sometimes about a day at home just me tackling the millions of projects we have going on. We're on vacation in 2 weeks and we're sending DS to DC that Thursday to do just that. I can't wait, almost more than going on vacation. It sounds glorious!

Holly_1007

The only reason I noticed her kids lunch was because she made such a big deal About her kid being so picky and kept saying it was all he would eat. Then keagan asked what the fruit snacks were. I guess I've never given those to them either? I'm a bad mom.

During 1st Tri with Augs, I used to swing through the McD's drive thru for an egg mcmuffin sandwich sometimes. I hadn't had fast food since high school, so I have no idea where the craving came from.

I haven't had McD's since. Other than an ice cream cone. Maybe more of an UO, but I don't understand the draw. None of it is all that appealing to me.

I wish I didn't crave it.  But I doooooooooooo. Now that Eddie is aware of what's going on in the front seat more, I'm going to have to stop.  It's a good motivator because I although I don't mind the occasional, I want him to know it should be a rare treat.

I'm sending Anthony to grandma's today to get some sleep. I know it's not confession worthy, but the amount of guilt I'm feeling is. This 2 kid thing is really hard. I always feel like I'm picking one over the other.

It's hard.  I think it's okay to feel a little guilty - it goes to show how much you love DS1.  It will get better:)  

I've been feeling really sad that I haven't done bedtime with DS1 since DS2 came.  Even if I try, he only wants dad now:/

Is it spritz or aerosol?  Most of the articles I read on it weren't making an outright distinction, but it was clear from what they were claiming was potentially problematic that only aerosol was being discussed.  Crappy reporting, IMO.

And from what I read, it's not ZOMG it's a medical emergency! but more "Yeah, we need to do more research--if you're a better safe than sorry type, skip it for now."

DH is gone for Navy stuff next week and I'm kinda looking forward to ordering Chinese food and hogging the bed.  He's been in a pet lately and I think having a break from one another will be a good thing.

FFFC I'm still kinda pissed I'll be on solo toddler duty for a week while he gets to chum around with his Navy buddies.
