I dislike coffee and sometimes I feel kind of proud that I don't need it to function in the morning. Like at my old job everyone would come in like zombies and head straight for the kitchen and I'd roll in like
That was before I had a kid though so I'm no longer so chipper and hopefully no longer so annoying.
I hate when people haven't updated the tickers in their signature from a previous pregnancy and it says something like "247 weeks pregnant, baby is due anytime now!"

I get really annoyed when I see people texting while driving, especially on the freeway. Or when Im in the car with someone and they start to text while driving. I just dont think its worth the risk.
@oneblessedmess wow! I have to say I sometimes drink decaf in the morning because I like the taste more than I need the caffeine... but not today, haha! Caffeinated me! I had a rough night with my teething DD2!
My FFFC is that it’s a cold rainy day here so I’m planning on staying in pjs most of the day and watching Disney movies with my girls.

@krashke, yeeeeesssss to the quotes. I've noticed it's causing confusion of who posted first too, as I was mistagged in several responses yesterday because I was tagged in the quote.

@emjeve Trust me now that I have a kid I totally get it! Gotta do what you gotta do to survive!
I should also say that I don't really feel like caffeine does much for me. When I worked nights I tried coffee a couple times and it didn't really pick me up. Maybe if I felt like it really gave me energy I would feel differently lol.
Instead of working, I've spent the last hour looking online at every menu of every restaurant in the area trying to figure out what I want to eat for lunch. Still haven't made a decision.
@emjeve - Ditto over here. DD was up at 9 pm. 12:30 am, 2:10, then 6:00 am. Slept in til 8:30 am. Needless to say I got very little sleep. GAH! Wasn't complaining about teeth though.
Confession: so glad we have a dishwasher this time around. Gagged heavily while loading the dishwasher, guilt-ed DH into taking out the garbage. At least i don;t have to wash his day old lunch tupperware this time by hand.

One of the gals in our office who has a super low, super loud, raspy voice and never stops talking. I'm tired and kind of crabby at the moment and want to throat punch her. Ok, maybe not really TP her, but she's just too much for me today. And all I want to do is nap but I can't because I'm skipping lunch so I can leave an hour earlier.

@icecubeinthedesert fffc: I can't scroll past your siggy without watching it atleast 3-4 times... only cause I want that cube of cheese on the dogs toothpick (atleast I assume its a cube of cheese. and if its not, it is to me). and I'm not even a big cheese eater!

@goldenlola I absolutely agree!! Someone asked me the other day how many months my son was. I looked at them like they had 5 heads. He’s 2, 2.5 if you want to get fancy.
I get really annoyed when I see people texting while driving, especially on the freeway. Or when Im in the car with someone and they start to text while driving. I just dont think its worth the risk.
@cupcakeforme I use a spoiler for my signature because I lurk and potentially post on other boards. Additionally, I came from TTGP so I still have active threads and posts on there and my signature could be triggering for someone going through IF or loss. It’s a courtesy.

@Miz_Liz Same! I actually forgot I had a signature until someone else mentioned it to me. I haven't touched it since I had my daughter in 2015. I hardly use my computer for anything, much less The Bump. But I did go on today and add a ticker for the new baby. I'm into that kind of thing lol.
trigger for being pregnant? for having kids? how do I do this IRL? cover my kid in a blanket and camouflage my belly? I feel bad for people who are dealing with losses, but I am not going to be hiding anything
Lurking from May- @cupcakeforme if you had a friend who you knew was struggling to conceive or had experienced a loss recently, would you intentionally bring up/draw attention to your pregnancy if you knew it would upset them? That’s how I try to think about approaching trigger warnings or using spoilers in signatures.
I revealed that I am pregnant this past week to my manager who lost her baby at 20 weeks this July and she genuinely was beyond happy for me and jumped up happy and gave me a hug.

@mileswithmyles, thanks for jumping in. I was at a loss for words on how to respond to @cupcakeforme. I shouldn't be surprised that someone who is lucky enough to not know what TW meant until today wouldn't understand the pain loss moms or IF ladies go through on a daily basis, but to not even try is pathetic. And sorry if my spoiler siggy to try to make my loss history less depressing for everyone bothers anyone.
