I love pizza and I work next door to a Whole Foods that makes some pretty great pizza...today I decided to splurge and get 2 slices for lunch. It was the most disappointing lunch ever - the one slice was veggie & was ok (but burnt on the bottom) & the other slice was some special flavor of the day that sounded good but was actually really gross. I still ate them because I was so hungry and I felt bad wasting food esp. since I spent money and I very rarely do that when I'm at work since I normally always bring food with me. Ugh...I've been feeling lately like nothing at home is appealing to eat anymore.
Thanks all Go figure nicer, more supportive people on the internet than a person I've spent tons of time for three years with. @kiyamurph I don't think I'm going to bring it up to her, but I'm also going to stop telling her private information and initiating texts or time spent together... basically I'm going to pull back on the friendship without drastically not talking to her anymore or something like that. If she's been saying these things to other people while telling ME the things she has been, she's definitely comfortable lying to my face and I don't want to put effort into a friendship like that. I'm not going to trust her so repair isn't going to happen. I also don't feel the need to go in and burn down the bridge or anything, I can't see myself feeling better for it and it would just turn into another gossip cycle.
Feels Iike all I do on here is complain lately... oops. #sorryNotSorry... here I go again. It's been a long couple weeks. Toddler from hell lately with nap battles and temper tantrums, lingering cold on top of the usual pregnancy fun for me, no DH in sight for days and feeling like a single parent - starting to get terrified to add number two to this crazy! Figured it would get a little better this weekend having the hubby around for support... but! he just showed up home "sick". Which for him means man-flu, aka "I'm dying and incapable of doing anything" Soooo: I will instead get two cranky babies to take care of this weekend! Yay! ((Who gets to take care of me!?))
@kjd291My husband developed a man-flu too, last night... it's so annoying! I powered through a cold for 2 weeks, doing everything, and now he can't even move his shoes from where he flung them at the bottom of the stairs. Can we try not to trip the pregnant lady, please? Sigh. We had so much planned for this weekend, but I guess that's not happening.

@EnglishTeacherMama I'm so sorry you're dealing with this too!! Hopefully he can recover from his deathly illness in time for some of your weekend fun.
@kjd291 hang in there! if we were neighbors and not internet strangers I'd take the kiddo for a day. You still have to deal with your DH though lol. Maybe you can buy him some of this
@kjd291 Grubhub all the food, and can you outsource childcare for a few hours over the weekend? Favor from a friend or even babysitter who'll watch kiddo at their house? Sounds like you really could use a break (...maybe for Christmas shopping or other indulgent treat for yourself...) and there won't be one in sight unless you make one

Sadly we're snowed in today, but hoping to get out tomorrow! I know I need to take better care of myself... but I am just SO bad at making it a priority. Kids and husband come first, and i forget about me sometimes.
Been looking at this viability chart: we're all getting SO close to our babies, it's crazyyyyy!
My brother-in-law and his wife are arriving soon to stay the night as they road trip home for Christmas, yet I have not cleaned my house. My husband is gone all day so I can't get him to do it. At this point I don't think I care, they'll have clean sheets for tonight and that's enough right? Back to snuggling and a movie with my toddler
I have yet to be super emotional, or experience extreme moods with this pregnancy...until today when I almost lost it when I was trying to put some Tupperware away and they tumbled out of the cupboard and I wanted to rage so hard! I was actually pretty hungry at the time..but the feeling hasn't left. This afternoon, I think I scared my cat from cursing and growling because I couldn't fit a piece of paper into a new frame, it kept catching and I was about to give up and huck it across the room. Poor DH hasn't seen this side of me before in our relationship til now, I'm just glad that I was able to explain my frustrations and have a reason behind it.
OMG, I think I am slowly dying. Apparently there is some sort of stomach bug going around and it is hell on earth. I have had it since Thursday morning, had to call in twice to work which is super awkward since it is my second week there, and today the crowning glory is the near constant diarrhea. The doc already had me to go triage at the hospital yesterday to be treated for dehydration and I do not want to go back. But seriously, this is ridiculous.
And to add to this, my DH has the worst bedside manner of anyone I have ever met. Why can he not show a little compassion? Why is he just constantly nagging me to drink more water? Hello, I can only drink so much and my body is telling me to sleeeeeep. He's even at work today and won't let up. He got frustrated when I wasn't answering his texts so he calls me and wakes me up.
At least I am not vomiting anymore. I guess there is a bright side.
Good news: Took the front off DD's crib yesterday to make it a toddler bed and she still stayed in all night long! Called for me in the morning and didn't get out of bed until I came in the room.
Bad news: DD and I came down with a chest cold yesterday, and this coughing kept my already insomniac self up even more last night. Still though, proud of my DD - she woke herself up coughing as well last night, and she just turned her sound machine back on and went back to sleep.
@CanadianintheSouth Yay for toddler bed success! Boo to chest colds. We changed DS to a toddler bed really early for my sanity, and he's in a twin size bed from IKEA now, which is much more comfortable to cuddle in and read books at night. I found he slept a lot better in general once we moved to toddler bed.

@CanadianintheSouth How old is your daughter? My little guy is 2.5 and I'm not sure when to transition him to the toddler bed. He sleeps perfectly through the night and he never tries to climb out of his crib, so my main thing is not messing up a good thing!
Thanks @datalover13! We have the convertible crib so the next step after this will be a double, looking forward to that, but going to wait it out!
@kiyamurph she is 2 years 4 months, and the only reason we took the front rail off is because she just started trying to escape. We were planning on leaving her in her crib for as long as possible, and no matter what getting a new crib for the new baby since we just get the convertible cribs. I completely agree, do not mess up a good thing! I've read don't switch until they are climbing out, and we followed that advice.
@kiyamurph I second @CanadianintheSouth with the waiting until they start climbing out! It was just unfortunate in our case that DS started trying to escape when he was 17 months old.
