Super crunchy granola moms drive me nuts! I can't stand it. I breastfed my babies. I made their baby food. I co slept on occasion. I wore my baby sometimes. But I never and will never impose my beliefs and "natural" habits into someone else. So next time someone mentions things all super crunchy granola mom like, I am cursing you in my head. Because it's annoying.
@theglitteredpterodactyl keep at it! I was a heavy smoker for 7 years. I identified as a smoker to the core. Quitting was the hardest thing my body has ever been through, but I can honestly it is worth it x100. Its been 9 years since then.
I work full time and I suck at it right now. I had an unexpected pregnancy in the fall that ended in a miscarriage after Christmas, and (apparently - still adjusting to the idea) got pregnant again three weeks later. I am still putting in my all at home, but I am totally broken when I show up at work.

@theglitteredpterodactyl I'm sending you all the you can do it vibes right now! I've never smoked, but I know from watching friends quit that it's not as easy as waving a hand. At least now you have the best motivation ever to succeed at it!
I have had zero motivation to cook almost the entire week. DH will be gone for lunch and dinner tomorrow and I'm considering getting Fast Food for both.

I let my toddler watch entirely too much TV. I used to think I would RARELY let her watch TV. Hahahaha. Fail.
ETA: just made said toddler boxed Mac and cheese for lunch (who am I kidding, it's because I wanted it, not her), and I realized I was out of milk. So I just melted a crap ton of butter in it. It is AMAZING.
Thanks guys! I appreciate the good vibes. I started up in earnest as a shitty coping mechanism for some extreme PPDA and it feels really scary letting that crutch go.
I've been avoiding caffeine, but I just had a Dr. Pepper and I feel like a new woman lol. Apparently it takes like 4 cans to equal the amount of caffeine in the 1 safe cup of coffee we can have a day, so I decided to cave!
DH allows toddler too much sugar (in my opinion) at night just to keep her happy. I'm so exhausted right now that I don't even care. Survival of the fittest at this point am I right?
I have a big pot of broccoli and pea soup in the refrigerator that I'm probably going to end up throwing out because just the thought of it makes me gag. It doesn't even taste bad. I just can't stomach the thought of eating it for some reason. I feel terrible because I HATE throwing out food especially if it's perfectly edible.

Right now I just want to play on my phone. I ripped up tissues and threw them on the ground, gave DS a pair of tongs and told him to pick up the tissues and put it in the bin. He's having a ball.
@feeislove Do you have large freezer bags? Put the soup in one, being careful to keep the air out and lay it flat in the freezer. It should keep for a while and not take up much room. I have dozens of soups and stews in my tiny freezer for DH because I can't stand food right now.

We're bribing DS with juice and cookies so we can get his hair cut. Last time, it was so bad, it ended with DS, SO, me and two stylists covered in tears, snot, spit and hair and we tipped them 100%. Don't feel like going through that again.
@theglitteredpterodactyl I truly sympathize. This last Monday was four weeks quit for me. The last time I got pregnant I wasn't able to stop. It's such a ridiculously hard thing to do but I've got your back!
@feeislove I had to throw out the most delicious potato soup and smashed potatoes leftovers, something I would normally never do, because potatoes are causing me severe gas and discomfort every time I eat them. I almost cried.

There is no Arby's near me so every damn time I am near one with a friend or for an appointment of some nature, I HAVE to have it. It is a crazy obsession. I bet if they put one in within 2 miles I would eat a lot less lol
I'm due at the end of the month and considered waiting to join the November board just so I wouldn't be one of the last ones again. It was kind of torture when everyone on my last BMB started having their babies and I still had 3-4 weeks to go.
@riverraine aww who could blame you for that, though? I looked back through several of the BMB's in the birth announcement section and came to see that several babies were born 2 weeks earlier then their EDD. Who knows!
@ShakeUpTampa We used to live 2 miles from one and I was still obsessed lol. Now there isn't one for 50 miles and I haven't had it in foreverrrr. I love Arby's!
There's a stomach bug making its way through our house this week. Toddler and I had it Wednesday morning/afternoon. I had to go to er for meds and fluids because I couldnt even keep water down. Dh and DS got it yesterday. Dh came home from work and immediately went to bed. I'm still battling MS, but I was up all damn night last night with DS while he threw up, the toddler had diarrhea diapers in the motn and I dealt with it all, left dh alone to sleep. I got maybe an hour and a half of sleep last night. Dh has been acting like he's on his deathbed all day. I feel for him, I do. But I'm done. I battle nausea every day, you can handle it for two days and still help around the house.
Anyways... my FFFC is that my gf and I are going to my SIL's baby shower together tomorrow. She got her mil to come over an hour before the shower starts, so we decided to go out to breakfast first. Then after the shower, we'll go do something while my oldest is at a girl scout cookie booth. I have zero guilt over leaving dh alone with 2 of our 3 kids tomorrow morning and afternoon. The man illness is making me super stabby and mean

I am taking DS to get his hair cut today--I dread it because he hates them so much! I may be doing the same thing!
It is Saturday and I am late yet again but whatever. I do not want to take the time to change my SN. (Maybe I do not know how) I felt the same in my March 14 BMB. I also have forgotten how to add GiFs and how to change my ticker.... I feel like a newbie all over again...
@magnolia305 how'd it go? DS was surprisingly good! At the beginning, he sat there with one lone tear running down his cheek, whispering "my mommy" over and over, but by the end he was fine!
@riverraine I'm in the same boat..totally plan on creeping on the November boards for the same reason..and let's face it, good chance we'll have November babys anyways
@shan24 It did not go so well. Due to his screaming and thrashing about, it is a little shorter than I had planned. The silver lining in that, though, is that we won't have to repeat the process for a bit longer!
