I am totally hogging the board today, but it has been a cuckoo week and you guys are the only reason I am still relatively sane.
Last night at choir, one of the sopranos complained it was too hot in the room so our director mumbled "I guess I'll go open the window". Out of nowhere, I burst out "To the window..." and a (very old, quiet, shy) tenor responded reflectively "To the walls! Til the sweat drips off my..." and suddenly stopped when he noticed everyone staring at him. I have never felt closer to a fellow choir member in my entire life. I usually hate it when people say "So-and-so is my spirit animal", but that man is my spirit animal.
Confession: DH is going to a work event/dinner tonight. It's like an awards gala and the company is up for an award. Him and a few other developers were invited to go have dinner and put on a good face (I was not invited. Apparently I'm not cool enough. ).
Anyway, I am ridiculously excited about the prospect of getting the house to myself tonight. Eat whatever I want, watch whatever I want, etc. DH said I should try to get a head start on picking up around the house. I said sure.... But I really have no intentions. I do not feel bad at all. He gets fancy dinner food and drinks. The least I can get is to have a worry free evening of spaghetti and Netflix.
FFFC: resurrected threads make me ragey. Why are you 15 pages deep on commenting on a thread?! Just no.
I think the biggest reason for this is that people are told to search for things before they post, which is totally fine. But the end result is multiple threads with 200+ posts. I'm definitely not going to read those.
Also @vinerie, I think it's 11/6 not 10/6!
DOH! Changed it. I wish it was 10/6, though. I am about a month behind at work!
I'm going to be child free tonight and although I will miss DD in the sense of I'm her mom and she's my child BUT I'm looking forward to just worrying about my needs and wants tonight.

I hate sharing the road with cyclists. They're EVERYWHERE where I live, and they're obnoxious. I know it's their right to be in the road and lawfully where they should be blah, blah, blah, but that doesn't make it any less annoying for those of us who can move faster than 10 mph.
I always see points above their heads. If you can't go the speed limit you shouldn't be on the same damn road as vehicles that can!

I normally eat pretty well (lots of veggies at least) but I bought a secret bag of Take 5 snack size bars after Halloween to keep in my work bag. I've been having one at the end of the day all week because work stresses me out...and I'm always hungry on the drive home. I'm so excited for my candy today; I had to do so much running around person to person during student group revision workshops that it literally made me dizzy.
My real confession? In having McDonald for lunch. I haven't been here in 10 years and I'm not a fast food fan. But I blame baby. He really wants chicken nuggets and a chocolate milkshake. #lardass
I had a banana in the car for a "healthy snack" before my trip up north for a girls weekend. I totally blame baby for the additional stop at Taco Bell

My confession is that I'm already disappointed in thinking about baby bumps. This is my 3rd time around and I have yet to have one I'm bigger, but I see people alot bigger than me with bumps and it makes me sad. And then I feel stupid for letting something like that make me sad. So then I'm sad that I'm sad. And it's ridiculous.
Whenever I see a nub post, I sing to myself "whatcha gonna do with all that nub, all that nub inside your junk" to the tune of Black Eyed Peas "My Humps".
You're welcome. Spreading xmas spirit early round these parts.
I want to throttle one of our library patrons. Last week at a Halloween program one of our volunteers made the decision not to go get her brother for his part of the volunteering (he is autistic and has major behavioral issues) because he was having a bad week behavior wise and we ended up with preschoolers instead of elementary schoolers and he's a little scary to little kids (6'5" and 300+ lbs). Her Dad brought him down at the end anyway- said teenager flipped out when he realized the program was over and charged at me- his sister stopped him instead and got slammed against the wall. Had to do an incident report and everything- resulting in the teenager getting banned from the programs and from the library for 6 months or a year (this is not the first issue we've had from him). But when our security was explaining this to his Dad his response was "It was just his sister [that he slammed against the wall]". WHAT? No. That's not an ok response. She's 5'4" MAYBE 140 lbs- easily could have gotten seriously hurt. Just no. I want to throttle that Dad so badly.
I have a good confession... I've only bumped for like a half hour today... I needed a productive day badly.
Anyway, so many of these were hilarious! Thanks for the laughs ladies. I'm definitely going to make a note of the meth mouth tip. Hahaha.
Also, @kbrands7... you only have ONE leftover Halloween candy per day? Ugh. I put my leftover Reese's in the freezer (yum) and I swear I have like 3-4 every night. It's bad. I would just throw them away, but I know I'll probably try to get them out of the garbage or something crazy.
Me: 27 DH: 30 Married in 2011 Baby 1: Stillborn at 27 weeks (April 2014) Baby 2: Due May 2016
I binged on 20 pieces of fun size left over halloween chocolate two days in a row (PER DAY) knowing it would make me sick. I also sent a mean text to my husband who is away for work because he ate all but two of the Twix. That's about as guilty as I've felt this entire pregnancy. I finally threw it all away to avoid a third day. 1 piece a day is peanuts.
So I didn't used to care about speshul snowflake posts but this week they're killing me. It's like barging into an open house party, turning off the music, demanding that a room full of strangers listen to a haiku you wrote and then storming out when no one claps.
Confession: I'm the one who farted in our staff meeting today. I couldn't hold it any more and I knew I wouldn't make it out the door if I tried to leave. Dude.... Gas pain is real.

Better to bear the shame than to bear the pain as my Grampie used to say.
Update to the dry cleaning saga... They called DH this morning to say they had his tie at the store and he was able to pick it up. He said he would be by a little after 5 to get it. Fast forward to 30 mins ago... They call back. Apparently they don't actually have it - never did. But hey now in addition to waiting 3 days for it, it's now also damaged. They didn't say what was wrong, but I'm really confused how things changed from this morning or why they didn't just tell us to begin with... Also pretty pissed bc it was an expensive tie I bought him as a gift for our wedding. He mentioned that on the phone and they didn't seem to care. Maybe they'll care when I pull up the receipt I have for it and they see how much they need to cough up to replace it.
I feel bad for DH bc this was all just bc he really wanted to wear it bc he liked it. And he literally looked like his heart dropped when he was told it was damaged. It doesn't help the the pregnancy hormones are raging right now and I'm going back and forth between about to cry bc it's something sentimental to raging mad bc I hate liars.
Another confession: I'm not looking forward to my FIL's visit this weekend. We are going to a Civil War reenactment event tomorrow. Totally not my thing. At all. My FIL will be into it. And tomorrow we'll have to look at...I don't know what? Muskets? Replicas of old blacksmith shops? And he will be amused and I will be BORED.
It's outside and I could totally bring my dog to help amuse me, but they will actually be shooting off their muskets and such, which will freak out my dog, so there's not even that.
Question for the group: How long must one be married before you can bow out gracefully and without reprisal from such things???
In fact, I'm sitting in my office waiting to go to a donor dinner, which is something I would totally blow off (Friday night optional dinner for work? Um NO) but the only reason I'm going is it gets me out of hanging out with him for one less night.
Question for the group: How long must one be married before you can bow out gracefully and without reprisal from such things???
No length of time. Just don't go. Say it really isn't your thing but that you hope he has a great time. I wouldn't think that would be a big deal but I don't know your DH or FIL.

Question for the group: How long must one be married before you can bow out gracefully and without reprisal from such things???
3, almost 4 years and I still don't really have much luck. I try... I just get the massive guilt trip. It evens out though bc tomorrow DH has to do something with my family he really doesn't want to do either.

He would not get mad, but I know he really wants me and his dad to connect, so I feel like it's not about the specific thing we're doing, it's about the bigger idea of bonding. The problem is that FIL won't see it that way. He'll think we're going to look at old stuff and he'll drone on all day long about whatever it is he sees in front of him at this thing and manage to spend the whole day without asking me a single question.
I hate it when my friends are flaky and cancel plans. One of my closest friends has cancelled on me 4 times in a row now. Or maybe even more than that. We have plans this weekend, and now I don't want to go. So I'm thinking of canceling just to get even. Super mature, I know,

I love cancelled plans. I can't help it. I don't like to DO. I like to sit in my house in my sweats and order take out.
One more confession for today since we're talking about flakey friends...
I totally just flake on hanging out with my friends tomorrow. To be honest I never wanted to go in the first place, but I felt bad saying no, and I do miss them. Then yesterday my oldest came down with a fever and I told them I'd see how it goes. He's 100% better today (guess who's getting molars...yay teething!!! *insert heavy sarcasm*) but I told them he still had a fever and I didn't want to leave him while he's sick.
