FFFC 2015

I may or may not be listening to 1989 (again) while at work. 

I may or may not have also created some spectacular spirograph art.

I may or may not be avoiding real work.

Sometimes it's far better to lurk than to post.

I had "clean" on repeat the first week I had the CD. Now I'm coming around to some of the other songs.

Almost all my friends are lifelong friends. I live 1000+miles from my BFF since 4th grade yet we still text and talk multiple times per day. My other friends are also from early childhood and some are cousins so we grew up together.

My town has one option for school. And that thought kinda freaks me out because that's where DH and I graduated from. But I'm not one of those people who are very concerned with school options and that makes me feel like a bad parent.

Don't!

Yea, don't. At least where I live, the school system is totally falling apart and grades mean nothing.

My creepy FFFC is that I hope I stay friends with the Chibumpies foreverrrrrr. I love watching our girls play together and I think it would just be the sweetest thing if they all became BFF's and continue to take progression pictures for years to come. I've loved watching them grow up together this past year and a half! It makes my heart burst.

@valstulas and @COmama1314....Single Moms faction?! I don't belong to any other factions, so lemons = lemonade? I also feel like I've failed LO. She has never known a traditional family and likely won't ever experience it. With her health stuff, I feel like I failed her doubly. I know it's not rational and I try not to dwell on it, but some days it's unavoidable.

@cfreymc I would feel the same way. Hugs.

You do so much for your daughter and your love for her shines through in everything you write. That is never a fail.

I went against my own rule and got a manicure a few weeks ago. A gel manicure. Maybe it will be nice, I said. You deserve some pampering, I said.


I liked it for one week. My nails grew out and it looked bad. Now I t's peeling up from the bottom and catching off on everything and I can't get this mess off of my nails. I bought 100% acetone and will be getting serious with this over the weekend.

How's that, @valstulas‌? Personal, scandalous AND breaking the rules!

Have u ever heard of jamberry nails? They r non toxic sheet that u apply to Ur nails just using heat. They r cute, look great, last a long time and come off w just heat or water...

My FFC? I'm very superficial when it comes to gift giving. I put a lot of thought into getting you something, then say thank you appropriately, dammit. I know it's all about the gesture and you shouldn't expect something back. But still...*mumble grumble snort*

@J134EVA >:D<

It just breaks my heart that you hard working, loving mamas would ever associate the word fail with yourselves.  @COmama I totally understand what you're saying.  It makes sense but still...  

>:D<

You ladies are super heros and role models

coco2787

Thanks ladies, you all are the best.

More hugs for @valstulas‌ @J134EVA‌ and @COmama1314‌.

+1 on what @Rmnam1‌ said.

@j134eva @comama1314 and @valstulas I think leaving a relationship that is no longer working or is unhealthy in some way is the most selfless, best thing you can do for your children. You all are amazing moms. I can't imagine how scary it is to contemplate going it alone, to choose to change the situation for yourself and your kids. Nothing but hugs, love and respect for all of you.

=D>

Yes... such a selfless example of bravery and strength 

PrimRoseMama

@J134EVA‌ : you haven't failed your LO at anything. You are a great mom & she's lucky to have you. >:D<

arlingirl

@chiboo that's so adorable, I'm so jealous!!

@caffienerain‌ Don't feel bad. The only reason Oliver will switch schools is because we want to move, anyway. But the options are super bad to not so bad to meh.

I confess I just slept for 2 hours. I'm so tired. I've already forgotten how I survived the first few weeks of this pregnancy or the whole last one with no daily naps. X_X

We do it too! Mostly bc she won't drink anything so we try to make drinking fun. Wait....well you know what I mean!

@COmama1314‌ I don't feel like a whore (despite what LF says), but some days when my kids are melting down in the grocery store and I have no choice but to continue my shopping, I feel like THAT mom. The judgmental stares of strangers do not help.

This is my second time as a single mom (though admittedly the first time was with less kids). At least I know that it gets better. You get into a routine and you learn just how strong you are. It helps if you have people to encourage you.

You can do this! There will be good days and there will be bad, but the kids will be fine and you have a life full of possibilities ahead of you.

valstulas

@Cfreymc‌ I'm just reading this. All I can say is that I completely understand your relief and I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. Huge, huge hugs. >:D<

Oh, my gosh!

I'm assuming this was directed at me. I'm so sorry.

I love your gift and I love all the thought you put into it. You are the best.

Okay, my goal for this week is to take those dang pictures.

I'm so sorry, @amparo1981‌! :-S and :x

Nooo, sweetie! I know you have a ton on your plate right now. Also, you texted me the minute the *§%$§ post office actually managed to deliver the package ~:>

This wasn't aimed at you. 

Huge hugs!

I feel bad for her.

But does she drink organic milk?

Perhaps in all her coffee

i don't see them having organic milk in their diet. Or Luke having it at the diner.

I have a confession. I am a diaper snob. I tried Target Up and Up and they have leaked too many times. Back to pampers we go. One you go pampers, you never go back?

We use cloth during the day, target when going out of the house, and pampers for overnight. I'm tempted to add a fourth kind but suspect BF will not be amused.

Alexis Bleidel drank coke in all her coffee mugs. I read she hates coffee! So I sure hope there wasn't milk (organic or not) involved!

I only buy Pampers. Luvs are okay and I didn't like Walmart brand or Huggies. Never tried Target brand but I came to love Pampers and the points.

Though DH threw away some points. Argh!

atlvol

I've never seen Gilmore Girls either!

I had 3 or 4 oz of Pinot Grigio and I'm shwasty pants. Wtf.

Because you know I'm all about those Pampers, those Pampers. No Huggies. :-\"

stephyfaith

All about the pampers here too.

Just finished season 4 of Gilmore girls. I haven't watched the show since I was in college (when it was on the air). I have forgotten a lot.

Season finale... :x ) [-X

miss2697

Team pampers for when she was itty bitty, but we switched to luvs. Just as good and you get more diapers for your money. We subscribe and save on amazon.
