What's up ladies. It's the start of a long weekend Wahoo!


So what is up with you today?


When you eat corn on the cob do you go back and forth like a typewriter or around the cob in a circle? (And don't tell me you don't eat it off the cob!)

aggiebug

Turns out I had an emotional breakdown yesterday because I need some quiet time so Toronto is out. Instead I am sitting in my big oversized chair in a quite home drinking some delicious tea and cruising the bump/ reading. I have absolutely no plans today except to try not to leave my house.

So thankful DH truly gets me and was happy to change our plans. That guy is a saint I swear.


I actually go back and forth on my eating style but usually it's like a typewriter.

Typewriter!

We're getting ready to head to the book festival. A whole day of authors and inspiration ahead. But all I can think about is getting breakfast at Corner Bakery.

CatLadyTX

Typewriter. In addition, people who leave random kernels on the cob make me nuts. Eat your corn!

DH just went out to get a hair cut, so DS and I are hanging out watching Barney. Later on, we need to do some clothes shopping for DH.

BeckyP005

Ahhh don't punish me... I cut it off the cob!! Have to because of my front tooth

MH is whining to the cat how his shower is filthy lol. Guess that means I need to clean today but after the PSU game. If he can lounge for 3 hrs so can I

MaryS001

I have to find the spot with the most salt/butter, then branch out from there.

Get to be lazy this am... later I'm driving an hour (sans DS!) to photograph a friend's wedding rehearsal dinner-- should be fun, my hubby is a groomsman

Dude if he is whining to the cat he can clean it. Dh knows better than to start commenting because it will become his job!

BeckyP005

@aggiebug‌ he HAS been cleaning it! I've been lucky but I do need to step it up a bit! I told him this is the first weekend that I feel normal

MapleMomma

I'm headed to work for the 6th day. And I just realized that I put foundation on, but nothing else. Oops!

oh and MH told me last night that I've totally lost my figure, was wearing mom jeans, and could no longer hide the pregnant belly after I told him a story about a really brave person who asked if I was expecting... Great.

It depends on how I'm feeling, but I never do all-over, haphazard. That's too inefficient. It's like when eating an apple--typewriter or cut and core. Usually I love eating corn off the cob because you can suck the butter/salt out of the cob as you go, plus I'm weird and love how the kernels feel when they get stuck in my teeth. Eating it cut off the cob just tastes different...can't explain it.

We're supposed to go to Tyler for some lake time this weekend. Evidently we're not going today...since DH is still sleeping. The girls are little fish, so I really hope we can get out there sometime tomorrow or Monday. I also will tell DH's side of the family about baby since I haven't yet. I haven't even announced on FB yet. I'm waiting until my A/S on the 24th.

Hope everyone has a fun, relaxing weekend!

I cut the corn off as well. I have done so since I was 16 and in braces. But if I can't, I will eat it round and round, not like a typewritter. I love it off the grill, dripping in butter with red chili powder on it. Just like the state fair.

I either had too much coffee yesterday or the subway sandwich didnt settle rigjtt, but I have had some major tummy issues. Now I'm up and can't decide if I should start cleaning or watch some tv, other than Frozen, The Lorax or Tom and Jerry.

Now I NEED corn in the cob!

Typewriter!

Ugh, today we are re-attempting potty training after I totally failed at it yesterday.  After 5 accidents and getting peed on, I just gave up and put her back in a diaper.  Oh, well, at least DH is here to help me tag team it today!

mmariel

I eat around the cob.

I was supposed to have this weekend off from work to get caught up on some homework that I have been slacking on since school started this week. Instead I got called in for later today. Not really looking forward to it. Im just exhausted. Ive been having really crazy dreams and not sleeping well. Yesterday I woke up at 2am and couldn't fall back to sleep. I napped in half hour increments until finally falling asleep hard on the couch. Thats where I woke up this morning at 4am. I asked FI why he didn't wake me up to come to bed. He said I looked so peaceful. Today my back and hips are killing me and I have to go to work today. End rant

Also did I miss the thusday ticker change this week? And now that I think about it, last week too? Oh well. I gotta go start to boil my water for the mac and cheese im making for breakfast!

diamond7986

I'm super exited to go to a baseball game tonight and the breakfast tomorrow with my hubby for our anniversary weekend. We get very little time to do normal things together and don't have much $, so we make our anniversary more drawn out to last. It's fun!

jaztastic

Typewriter... 

And I just had a major meltdown. I'm talking inconsolable crying fit. Lots of wailing, and snot and I just couldn't stop it. DH and I were joking around, taking shots at each other as usual and he threw a mild insult... Nothing serious at all. But all of a sudden I felt so butthurt. Poor guy, he was holding me and apologizing so much, but i just couldn't calm the fuck down. Then I felt frustrated that I was so out of control. 

Ugh... I'm going to go get a mani/pedi and some ice cream now. This is one time I'm going to blame hormones, no excuse for this.

AF9211

Sorry @jaztastic! This happened to me A LOT during my pregnancy with DD and I totally blame the hormones. One time it was at a diner because the waitress told me I shouldn't be drinking caffeine when I ordered a Coke and guilted me into ordering a Sprite. I was so embarrassed to be crying in public that it only made it worse and I couldn't stop.

Sammys1120

Typewriter... Unless there is a butter section above.. then I may skip around.

We have our annual family reunion tomorrow so all the ladies will be getting together this afternoon to prep the food - sort of a tradition we started a few years back.  Except I won't be able to indulge in the pitcher of margaritas!  Man, do I miss tequila!  We have pulled pork on the menu so I will be examining everyone as they eat there corn tomorrow...

Sugah, I am having the same sort of issues with in-laws and middle names.  Gordin isn't really rolling off the tongue nicely.

PikoPiko

Typewriter too. 

The real question is, do you massacre multiple rows in one bite or single row for those typewriter folks. I'm OCD, I eat one row at a time and the remaining cob always looks so neat when I'm done.

ambz06060

Corn: Typewriter. And I need a bib and shield. I always end up hitting someone else in the face when I eat it.

We had to sell my sled (snowmobile) last night since I'm out of commission for the season. I'm sad because it was my baby. We customized it to be something so original. (Red, white and black lightning stripes). I know in feb I will forget all about it, but just bummed. Although hubby promised maybe a brand new one for the 15 16 season

Typewriter!

It's late in the day and we're still on page one? Wow! Must be a busy weekend for everyone. I, like some others on here, had a serious emotional breakdown. DH want here and there was no one to blame. Last night I say down and erupted into a huge crying fit. When I called down I was more confused than ever because I couldn't explain it. I was having trouble this morning so DH took care of DS while I slept in which was awesome. When I got up he told me too get dressed and took me out for smoothies. I didn't like mine so he switched with me.

TL:DR my husband is great.

Ducktale

@jaztastic‌ I had my first pregnancy induced meltdown yesterday. I'm positive it was the hormones. I was sobbing over practically nothing, and even while I was crying I said there is no logical reason for this and I'm completely over reacting. But it just wouldn't stop. DH made cookies yesterday. Randomly, just because he wanted to. They're so good, I've eaten way too many.

StephanieLBerg

Typewriter!

So hubby found a better job yesterday, one with a guaranteed paycheck! He starts on Tuesday!

I went for a job interview on Thursday, and am waiting to hear back if I've made it into the second round! Keep your fingers crossed!

In total Saturday random fashion, I had a hemoglobin test done yesterday, and my iron level was at 13.5 which is normal. So I guess I'm really glad I decided to go with a different OB shortly after the fiasco with my Medicaid went down because THAT OB is a total whack for telling me that I was anemic!

pitdigger

Typewriter, single rows, grilled, no condiments.

It's windy and overcast here today after being sunny and hot while the hurricane passed. I want to paint Surprise's room, but DH is dragging his feet. I can't just get started because the furniture will take 2 people to move.

However, I'm doing a dolphin swim in an hour and it's Ethiopian night at one of the restaurants here, so I'm not cooking dinner.

Amee12

Off to our gender determination appt!!!! Then relaxing the rest of the weekend and possibly starting our registry!

And I start my corn in the most buttery spot then work my way out from there.

ckimberley14

ARGH so pissed at DH right now!!!!! He left over an hour ago to get me pizza, which I have been craving for weeks. I'm betting he took his sweet time eating his own pizza and drinking a beer...meanwhile I'm here with the girls who really need a nap, and I'm STARVING, no pregnant starving, which is worse. He better make this up to me! Rant over.

@jaztastic So sorry about your meltdown. Hope the mani/pedi and ice cream are helping!

Allie429

Corn=a bit typewriter, a bit around. Just depends on how I feel and how hungry I am-haha.

We moved a little over a year ago and unpacked basically everything but some stuff in our room and the spare bedroom. We made sure the living room, kitchen, and DD's nursery were done. She arrived about a little over a month later. That being said-we never fully got our bedroom situated and it is just a complete mess. Last night he was doing something and tripped and then it all started. The mumbling under his breath, a little loud while cleaning the kitchen-ugh. It has been hard to keep everything clean while trying to follow and keep up with my walking almost one year old and wanting to throw up all the time. He left this morning at 6 am for work and ended up picking up an extra 24 hr shift in between his work days (double time and a half pay!!) so he won't get home until Tuesday about 9 am. He is working for 72 hours Tuesday is his birthday so I am hoping to have a neat and clean bedroom for him to come home to-we shall see. Wish me luck please!!

Typewriter for the win!
I'm sorry for all the pregnancy meltdowns ladies. I am more emotional with movies, tv, etc, but I haven't had a big meltdown..yet.

Pre-pregnancy I barely ate bacon & it was almost always turkey bacon when I did. Well, I had a dream this past week we had the baby & team green = baby girl! And I finally got breastfeeding down, & she hands me a list saying my milk tasted awful. She wrote to eat more eggs, meat and real bacon. It was a weird ass dream. And now all I want is real.bacon.

I've got a complete sense of peace and excitement this weekend. We FINALLY got the official word about whether or not DH will be deploying in a few weeks. He herniated 2 discs in his back months ago and hasn't be able to fly his plane because he can't sit for an extended period of time with all the gear on. So after 2 spinal epidural steroid injections, a over month of physical therapy, and a consultation with a neurosurgeon his command determined that he needed to stay here to get his back completely healed.

So he is not leaving!! He will not miss this baby's birth and we will not be moving across the country on short notice! It's been SUCH a long road of uncertainty. We couldn't do or plan anything because we didn't know where we were going to be. In the two days since we found out I've totally changed over the office to a nursery, since we know we'll be in the house now. We made an appointment for today for an elective ultrasound to find out the sex. We decided we've been patient and lived with uncertainty enough. We are ready to see who this person is!

CatLadyTX

@maltwin1‌ That is awesome, congratulations!

DH and I went to Costco this morning and ended up having a completely ridiculous fight that resulted in him saying some not so nice things to me, taking our well behaved (for once) son out of the cart and storming off to the car while I finished shopping.  As soon as he left, I had a meltdown in the middle of Costco.  Do you guys know how embarrassing it is to cry in public like that?  Fortunately it was early, so it was pretty quiet.  Once I got to the car and started crying all over again, we made UO and he took me to BBB to start a registry.  This is huge. He hates baby shopping and registering.  We couldn't stay long because DS was starting to get fussy, but it was a start.

It's a sucky reason and I'm sorry he is hurting but that's great!!!

I enjoy (childless) Saturday's,  to catch up with weekly shenanigans from this board. I have no need to ever watch reality TV, because,I imagine this to be like a version of the real world and have voices and faces for many of you. 

Random thought: Am I eligible for short term disability insurance since I am already pregnant? 

jennjilljo

I was outside with DS and watched someone literally scrape their car on my mailbox and keep going. My mailbox has been hit twice so it has reflective letters and large reflective plates on both sides. It's a hard target to miss especially in broad daylight on a two lane road that isn't busy with no cars coming from the opposite direction.

Eta: My phone is dumb but makes funny mistakes when combined with a sense of humor.

StephanieLBerg

Today, hubby just told me that he wants to get a duck, since our dogs don't do a good enough job, he thinks, guarding the house. He thinks a guard duck will be better to keep the baby safe........

Anyone else think he's crazy? Raise your hands! ::raises hand::

Got to sleep in today which was AWESOME. DH asked if I wanted to go to Harbor Freight with him, and I said sure. I've been ready for 3 hours... He keeps getting distracted, but he just deep cleaned a window so I'm not complaining!

aggiebug

@gratefulfunmama1001‌ no you aren't. Typically you have a plan a year before baby is born. I guess you could find a weird policy for you but I highly doubt it would be worth it as it would probably have an exorbitant premium at this point.

I neededthat laugh. Now back to edit the old post because my phone thinks that cars and cats are the same thing. )

Thank you for the input, I assumed as much. I am an independent contractor now, so many things I used to receive while working full-time and in an organization are not as easy when you work for yourself.

I can't do corn on the cob. When we have corn I buy it on the cob, cut it off and sautee it in butter with a pinch of salt (so, kind of a deconstructed corn on the cob. Lol). I can't handle all the crap that gets stuck in my teeth, when I eat it off the cob. I have a thing about my teeth clean and even if I brush and floss right after I still feel like there's stuff stuck. :::shudders:::
