I can't stand it when people try to convert you to another way of life. Whether it's their religion, their eating habits (vegetarian, vegan, paleo, blah blah), whatever dumb crap they're selling at the moment, it drives me insane.
This was spurred by a vegetarian posting an article titled, "What would happen if everyone ate beans instead of beef" or something and her caption was, "Just do it." I might've read the article if she didn't add that caption. JUST DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. And for the love of whatever spiritual being you believe in, DO NOT knock on my door to tell me about it. Ever. Thanks. And if anyone messages me about wraps that make you lose a million pounds right after I give birth I will never speak to them again. Lol.
I got a pretty good sunburn last weekend and now it's peeling. I LOVE peeling it even though I know it's so gross. I can't help it though. It's keeping me so happy and entertained at work right now.

@peachy13 you should try Korean Baby Foot. Buy it on Amazon. Omg it's the best thing ever. It sloughs off all of your foot skin and reveals beautiful soft baby feet. But you get to do lots of peeling. I love it. You should probably wait until after you have the baby though. It seems like it would be pretty toxic lol.
I can't stand when people post a pic and caption it "My _______ is cooler than yours." No one thinks you're being tongue-in-cheek, no one actually thinks your kid or job or whatever is even that cool, and newsflash: a humble brag or boasting as a "joke" is still bragging and boasting.

My FFFC is that I'm so over Fridays at work. None of Sr. Management is here. Only the lab people (like me) end up working 8-10 hours, and everyone else scoots early to "work remotely" after they "beat the traffic." If I'm here before 8 and leave after 6, while building a human from scratch without even using my hands, then everyone else can stick it out until at least 5p.
Today is my fifth anniversary. My husband made reservations at a very swanky restaurant tonight, and I am just. Not. Feeling. It. I texted him this morning that I really just want take out sushi and to lay on the couch with our dogs. Maybe watch that Ali Wong special people have been talking about. I know I should be grateful but the thought of being out there with the people and doing the things, ugh I just can't.
@kyrwyn my coworkers who work from home on Fridays are so. full. of. shit. It's weird how I'll email someone first thing in the morning and won't get a response until like, 3:30pm. Hmm.

I fucking HATE my dog these days. He is a 9 year old chocolate lab and he is DRIVING ME INSANE. And the reality is, he's not doing anything particularly ridiculous, but he's just ALWAYS THERE and staring at me and in my face and whining and I have to remind myself that when I'm not coursing with pregnancy hormones I kind of actually like him because otherwise I would probably have murdered him by now. It's gotten to the point where my 18mo yells "GO!" at him all the time because that's what I am always doing. My poor dog.
Poor dog maybe you just need a break from him can anyone dog sit him for the weekend? I would take him if I could . I love animals and it makes me sad that his attention is annoying you but I do get it sometimes I need my cats to take a hike and not climb all over me. Just remember I guess that they are social creatures and he doesn't understand why you aren't as crazy about him right now as he is about you .
i feel more bad for you bc it seems like you are feeling hormonal. That feeling sucks!
for me I've just about had it with dealing with telephone customer service that don't understand what I'm saying. I'm not trying to discrimate to over seas call centers because sometimes it can be hard dealing with the us based representatives too. But I just wish people could understand the limits of their English skills and give up when it's the 5th time I explained the situation and you still don't get me. Even worse and annoying is the person kept saying your order can be delivered until 5pm on Friday august 4. I'm like it's 630. She's like ok well we will return or replace then if not delivered by Friday august 4... and I'm exasperated
@jackiesmom324 Ya i mean... hormones + clingy dog (he's EXTRA clingy when I'm preggo, was the same with DS), + toddler being a toddler and being with them all day while DH is at work is a bit much. And the toddler just wants to climb on the dog and the dog gets irritated with the toddler, yet wants to be IN OUR SPACE ALWAYS... it's a lot. I'm basically playing referee between the two all day because neither of them understand why they are annoying each others! Luckily I work all weekend so I will have some time away from them to recharge... well as much as I can while working lol.
We are looking at rehoming our dogs before this baby comes. I know, bring on the judgement, but it's just not working for us or them since we moved and will only get worse with another kid.
I am obsesses with the Magic Feet stuff! There is something so magical about peeling off your entire foot. I'm going to do it again tonight actually now that I remembered I had another pack.
Another weird confession since vegan was mentioned... One of my daughter's little daycare friends has a mom that I love but is hardcore vegan and works for an animal rights non-profit. For DD's birthday, she was out of town and Dad + kid came without her, and totally scarfed down hot dogs and chicken, and whatever else we had. I'm pretty sure she thinks they are vegan too and it makes me laugh.
One of my dogs passed away last Sunday. While I am sad that he died, I can't help but feel relieved. He was a handful and stressed me out a lot. He was super old, so it's not like it was a huge surprise. We have far too many animals, so adding a baby to the mix should be fun!

@kvacmak I hear you! As soon as DD was born, our cat and dog went from being our babies to pets. Now we have a puppy (she's about 1) and sometimes I just want to murder her. She is the sweetest thing, but sometimes I am doing all I can just to chase DD and grow this LO. I don't need another baby running around! The baby gates come in very handy to corral her so DD and I can have some space.

@peachy13 I know what you mean. I telecommute myself, but find I spend half my time waiting for colleagues to return emails or calls. Some are worse than others. Yet on the rare occasion (especially back on those bad MS days first trimester) when I am not keeping my regular schedule well, I get completely riddled with anxiety all day that someone is going to "bust" me for working funky hours. I'd wake up in a panic from a nap that I'd missed an urgent message or call! Yet in reality I know my coworkers could care less and often keep weird non-sanctioned hours for much lamer reasons. LOL
@breezybee YESSSS I am so ridiculously obsessed with that show and the whole cast. I even watched all the seasons of Snooki and JWoww about a month or two ago! I CANT WAIT for all the reunion shows!!!
P.S. I have been working on getting more actively involved here lately, and trying to be a productive member....I for some reason can't find or figure out what FFFC means though????
AFM - following the dog trend, we have three. I do not like the Pomeranian. His breath is atrocious, he's high maintenance and no matter how many times we let the dogs out he pees on the carpet. Fucking gross. I wish he would just die, but he's only 11 so I know it'll be a few years. And yes, I know I sound like a monster but I just can't with him anymore.
@elcd458@peachy13 I telecommute too and it's been a God send during pregnancy. I spread my work throughout the day, but I'm always there if they need me. I feel so lucky!
I don't have dogs, but two cats that irritate me. @ktcakes87 sorry to hear of your dog passing but I completely understand the relief. I have an old cat who is 16 that I've had since she was two. Ever since I've had her, she's peed on every blanket, rug, basically anything soft or left on the floor. And if anyone knows about cat pee, it's the worst! I've spent so much money buying new sheets and blankets over the years. I am looking forward to the day when I'm cat free.
@clovelyone. Ditto. DH flat out told me the other day he thinks I would've been fired from my old job by now, due to what a wiener I have been about the fatigue, headaches, and sickness. I can't say I disagree. Spent several days in bed doing nothing more than giving occasional feeble glances at my phone and laptop laying next to me. So, like you said, I was always available if/when they needed me, but I sure wasn't going the extra mile those days!
