UO, I could care less about the Super Bowl. Even the commercials haven't been that great the last couple years. I might go in the other room and watch something else.
I'm soooooooo excited for the Super Bowl! Go Patriots!!!!! I've already designated DH as primary baby wrangler and I have a fresh new insulin pen that just might be getting a few extra clicks. Because buffalo chicken dip and ice cream are happening.
I don't care about the Super Bowl- I have no intention of watching. And as I said last week, no interest in 'This Is Us'. But so psyched for the season finale of 'The Good Place' tonight.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
I also have no interest in the super bowl and I’m annoyed DH invited people over to watch it, so now I have to stay up late, watch something I don’t want to, and socialize on a Sunday night. I feel like the Grinch.
@lakesideknitter I didn’t really care too much about DS’s first haircut, just that his cute little curls went away. I saved some for his baby book and have a little certificate they gave me, but my mom was sitting there absolutely sobbing. Face palm.
I think my mom still has my baby teeth somewhere. Gag!
@calimom2524 I totally agree on the long haired boys thing. I have a Facebook friend with 2 boys and they have never had a haircut. They’re almost 4 and 6. Their hair is kind of pretty, but literally they NEVER brush it, so it looks like they stuck their finger in an electrical outlet. It’s so unattractive. But her husband decided a couple years ago he didn’t want to cut his hair anymore, so he was adamant that the boys didn’t cut their hair either.
@livinthesunnylife I’m with you. The commercials haven’t been great over the last few years, and the ones that are great you can watch online later anyway. The only reason I’ll watch any of it is the halftime show and the very end so I don’t miss the beginning of This is Us!

@elsieisamoocow Yes, true, I will watch the halftime show. I can't watch This is Us yet though cause I'm still a few shows behind and I can never seem to get caught up.
I don't care about the Super Bowl- I have no intention of watching. And as I said last week, no interest in 'This Is Us'. But so psyched for the season finale of 'The Good Place' tonight.
What is "This is Us?" Seriously, I have no idea. I suppose that's not an opinion, just a comment on my life, and my inability to get my head above water these days.
UO? I hate the patriots. Lol. Can’t stand Tom or Bill. The owner. Whathisface. Then the old boy who went to prison for murder and hung himself. Inflate a gate or whatever it was. Filming other teams. That whole franchise is frought with drama. Idk what’s true. What isn’t. Idc for them at all.
I’ll root for Philly. DILLY DILLY. But the entire NFL needs revamping. It’s not what it was. Even a few years ago. And I love NFL. But the last couple years have been a disaster.
When DS1's fell of I remember asking exH what we should do with it. He was like...it's dead crusty skin, I'm pretty sure it goes in the trash. I was all like "save all of the things!!!" but I'm glad he put it into perspective haha.
I guess my UO opinion is that I don't watch football (anymore) as I consider it immoral due to the concussion issue and the NFL's coverup and college football and youth football's role in being complicit in that coverup.
@dirtanddiamonds They put it into a little bag and gave it to me so I kept it with everything else hahahaha. I just looked at it the other day while cleaning and thought, I don't really need this.....But I kept it again for some reason. I'm totally not a hoarder but I do have a hard time throwing baby things away.
I am in the hate Brady and The Patriots team. I really have no interest in this Super Bowl at all except that I am a Steelers fan so I don't want the Pats to win and tie with us. But, honestly it really make no difference in my life whatsoever. My DH isn't a big sports fan so he doesn't care either. We are going to a friends house but, that is mainly so we can eat snacks!

I also don’t GAF about the issues like sex/gender, natural/unmedicated birth.
I never saved DS’s hair. Don’t plan to save his teeth. I think I saved his newborn hospital bracelet in hopes of making a shadow box, but it never happened. I also never did a baby book. I’m just not a sentimental person.
I also hate the Patriots, but I’m a Steeler fan. At least I get to cheer for a PA team during the super bowl.
My UO: I don’t get the big deal with Starbucks drinks. I personally think their bottled frappes sold everywhere are better than the real thing from a Starbucks.
I am the President of the I Hate Tom Brady club. I hope he loses and cries. #sorrynotsorry So I'd be rooting for the Eagles (Fly Eagles Fly!) no matter what but also Nick Foles went to my high school so I have an extra reason to root for them even beyond my TB hatred.

@mrsbubbles-2 while i don’t care for sports my DH is a huge patriots and Red Sox fan. All his dads side is in Boston. So I root for them cause of him. Plus tom Brady is hot. There’s no denying that.
@mrsbubbles-2 I’m with you girl, haters gonna hate, eh??
Although tbh I support the Pats because my husband is a lifelong diehard fan. I suppose if I had married someone from literally anywhere else, I’d hate them like the rest of you. But then again,
@ecwk I'm like you - I'm a Pats fan by default! My mom grew up in Boston and my dad in New York. So Pats fan vs. Jets fan. Twice a year there would be WW3 in our house. My sister and I had to pick sides, #teammom

Same. And I live in Boston so I'm surrounded by the hero worship. At work today we are having a tailgate party which I had planned to boycott until I remembered it would be filled with snacks. Go team.

My DH has a man-crush on Tom Brady. I don't care for him whatsoever. But, I did get him a Patriots jersey out of the kindness of my heart to surprise him with on Superbowl Sunday. This gives me leeway to act like a crazy pregnant lady without inhibition, right??
I hate football and we call it the stupid bowl. But, I did get junk food to eat while we “watch” the game, and by watch I mean watch commercials and pass judgement on the anthem singer and halftime show.

Ugh seriously, SO has the biggest man crush on TB. He always argues with me how the Patriots are America's team because I'm a huge Cowboys fan who everyone else calls America's team so he likes to get under my skin on that. SO ANNOYING. I'm probably going to sit on my phone throughout the Superbowl just to annoy him because he's such a TB lover lol.
Me when I open a thread and see a football-related discussion.
I’m totally laughing out loud from this one, I feel the same way. In my mind the only thing that’s happening Sunday night is a emotional rollercoaster called this is us lol

@dirtanddiamonds DUH! He argues that their colors are red, white, and blue and their name is The Patriots that it doesn't get more "America" than that. He knows it annoys me so he continues to argue it. Like I said, Cowboys fan here, so I believe they're totally America's team.
But then, when we talk baseball, and I say that the Cubs are clearly America's team, he argues they're not. BUT THEY ARE RED WHITE AND BLUE. Your logic is flawed, boyfriend.
As a native Oregonian I have no strong opinions on NFL teams. We're all NCAA here. That said, as a 90's kid I have a sworn oath to hate the Cowboys forever. I started rooting for the Pats in 2001 when they had no star players, and were a seemingly decent group of guys who played well together, and kept their heads above board. Now they've won too many times, are surrounded by (really stupid) scandals, have diva players, and I hate dynasties. I'm more than ready for them to break their winning streak and disappear into oblivion just like the 90's Cowboys and 49ers.
