@jynjer91 A friend of mine has one. I thought it was an interesting idea, but probably not something I'd do. Looking at it you'd never know what it was made out of. I thought about posting a picture of hers she has on IG but feel like that's weird to post a photo that isn't mine.
@hannaht8516 Seriously check frontier airlines!! I found a flight from Denver to Dallas for $49 one way. You do have to fly on certain days (tues or wed) but still, it’s worth the inconvenience if it doesn’t interfere with your plans too much.
I was pleasantly surprised by Frontier. The seats were roomy and comfortable. However you pay for everything: carry on, anything on board besides water, to pick your seat etc
I spent ten minutes looking all over my house for my keys... only to find that I’d left them in the door when I came inside earlier. Pregnancy brain is real, y’all.
@SawyerRichardson they do actually look way nicer than I expected! For some reason at first I pictured a cheap plastic looking ring with boob juice sloshing around in it.
There are some really pretty pieces for sure but I cant get past it being milk, breast or other lol. I feel like it would get smelly or if you don't do it yourself there's no guarantee it's all yours. Ew ew ew.
I feel like my child would be enough of a remembrance of my time spent breastfeeding her, but maybe I don't have enough mommy hormones yet to be the target demographic.
I wondered the same thing @mamabearcj, if it'd start to smell. I mean, I suppose ideally it wouldn't, but could it get wet? What if it gets sweaty?
Really getting annoyed with my autocorrect toady. It put 'ghee' instead of 'the' and 'toady' instead of 'today' and 'inside' rather than 'instead' all just trying to type this out!
I've been flat out most of today, feeling terrible. I've been trying to drink water or Gatorade and it's not going well. Just gets my gag reflex going
For breastmilk jewelry the milk is mixed with a plasticizer, so it basically just gets turned into white plastic, and kind of looks a bit like a pearl. They wouldn’t biodegrade or change composition in water or with heat.
I can see why breastmilk jewelry might appeal to some people. I imagine the biggest demographic of buyers would be the hyper crunchy "lactivist" crowd but I can see why people who were long term BM donors or had trouble breast feeding or something might want one.

WTF to my sister. She texted me this morning telling me she was going to be in town. I asked when and she said this evening. I mean, I expected this, but I was stabby this morning so I kind of called her out on waiting to tell me.. she claims she is bad at making plans and didn’t know she was coming, despite my grandma telling me she was 2 weeks ago. She did say something about having to give her girls a bath yesterday and cleaning up after some guests left - I guess that means she found out last night? Now she’s accusing me of not believing her - ummm... how did grandma know you were coming up before you did? Is she psychic? Ooh, maybe I should ask her what’s in my future! Also, if you wanted to make plans with me then maybe you would have mentioned that, or even how long you’ll be here. Normally I just ignore her BS, but these stupid hormones have me all pissed off about it and I kind of want to go down there just to scream at her, which obviously will help nothing.
WTF to our apartment maintenance guys STILL not actually fixing the problem with the fact that one of our bedrooms is a sauna. They’ve had to put freon in our AC unit twice in the past month and they’ve had to somehow adjust the airflow with our vents multiple times. A few of our windows leak air (it’s really obvious during the winter when you can feel the cool breeze coming through) but every time I bring that up to maintenance they brush me off and say “oh no, the windows are fine.” Yeah, tell that to the $250 electric bill that I just received. The former maintenance manager told us last year that the unit needed to be replaced soon but it wasn’t time. Cool, I get that there’s a process with these things, but don’t you think that replacing the freon twice in a month indicates that it’s pretty much dead? In the evenings, with all of the blinds and curtains closed and ceiling and box fans blowing, our apartment gets up to 80 degrees. I have the thermostat set at 73. It’s unacceptable. Oh, did I mention we’re in Texas and it got up to 101 today? I’m beyond frustrated.
@jemmerjams yeah we have a 1280 square feet apartment. We’re on the third floor, so I expect a little bit higher bill, but this is ridiculous. Last summer and the summer before our bill never got over $175.
Can I also WTF to this new trend of refusing people service because of their personal preference or political affiliation. It irked me with the whole gay wedding cake thing and it’s irking me this week too.
I spent ten minutes looking all over my house for my keys... only to find that I’d left them in the door when I came inside earlier. Pregnancy brain is real, y’all.
after our first was born i lost the car keys several times because i set them on top of the car while i put his carseat in. seriously. ridiculous enough the first time, but after once or twice you would think that i would look there. nope. it happened at least three where i was actively looking all over the place and got him back out to go find them. (while we switched to a taller vehicle at some point so that was no longer an issue, the pregnancy/new mom brain thing did not get better with successive pregnancies).
WTF Thursday. My mother constantly hounds me to cut her and my grandma’s toenails. They both have thick nails, they need to be soaked and I need to be at the exact right angle or I hack them off. It’s hard now that I’m not in a salon anymore. Grandma honestly just needs to go to the doctor.
Well I tried to refuse becuase I’ve been so lightheaded lately and didn’t think I could bend over her feet, so she reminded me of all the money she spent on my beauty school. I got annoyed and reminded her that I paid twice as much to never touch peoples feet again. She called me a b****. WTF?!
No one will ever be able to guilt me into touching their feet. I hate feet.
WTF to DF. I have had conversations with him numerous times about consulting me BEFORE he makes plans and he still doesn't. He just tells me "I'm going to do this thing on this day" without asking me beforehand if that works for me. Telling me after he already made those plans gives me no room to tell him if something doesn't work. Plus his plans affect me because we have kids rogether. It affects how I'm going to spend my day. I mean this is a vast improvement to when he'd just tell me 10 minutes before he was going to do something but still. It's not that hard of a concept buddy.

@mytrueloves This drives me crazy too! It's even worse when DH his ex change the schedule with SD. I've had complete melt downs over the lack of control over my own schedule, like my schedule is based off of his ex's life. I'm getting all fired up just talking about it!
@krzyriver Ummm... they’re grown women, they should be cutting their own toenails. That’s just gross. I thought it was bad when I found out an aunt still cuts her college aged son’s toenails (& then tries to tell me how to parent, ha!)
@mytrueloves Not sure if you’ve tried this yet, but explain how it’s disrespectful of him to do that. Sometimes they don’t get it unless respect is mentioned. MH used to leave me to get the kids food when we were at parties. He didn’t get why I was so upset when he was going back for a third plate and I had barely eaten anything off my first. Talking to him didn’t seem to change much until I told him that it was disrespectful and at the next party he stepped up to help me.
@purplegoldfish2 Well my grandma is like 85. I wouldn't mind doing hers, except she really needs to go to the doctor. But my mom purposely waits until my grandma complains about them hurting to call. Then she wants me to cut them to hold her over until the appointment that's 4 weeks out. Ugh. My mom on the other hand just wants them done a certain way that's hard to do on yourself but, I hate sounding ungrateful, I agree with you... she's a grown woman. She can go to the nail salon like the rest of us. I don't understand why I have to take time out of my limited free time with my kids to give her a pedicure.
@SawyerRichardson Sold! It's seriously the only thing I miss about working in the salon. I was never amazing, couldn't really do designs or anything because I have zero creative talent and never practiced, but I could paint piggies all day.
We had a huge fight over this a long time ago because he made plans at MIDNIGHT the night before AND it was the day ODD started her new school so it was supposed to be the first time we had alone time in months. When I was upset, he had the audacity to say if I wanted to spend time with him I should have asked for it. Um I should ask to spend time with my fiancé whom I live with and have kids with but you don't think you should have to ask before making plans at midnight to bring people to my house on my day off??? Since then it's improved, but I still think he doesn't understand why I ask him to consult me before he makes plans.

With my husband's schedule, sometimes he has appointments in the evenings. And he rarely tells me beforehand. Which, right now, it's not a big deal. It just means I'll get to watch my crap tv shows in peace and eat crap food. But I also just like to know plans in advance even if it doesn't necessarily matter. Once the baby is here though, I'm going to need to know this shit.
@mytrueloves This would drive me insane. H used to do this and, after many many years, I trained him to ask before making solid plans. Appointments and stuff I don't care about so much cause they're usually during the day when I'm at work. But anything outside work hours? That's MY time and he better consult me! Lol
Ugh the whole men making plans thing is annoying! DH also has a job where he needs to network and attend events outside of work hours and in the beginning he would never tell me until I would be like umm where are you? At like 7pm if he wasn't home. I also like eating dinner between 6:30-7:30 because I'm hungry and don't like eating late. He never understood how frustrating it was to find out he wasn't coming home until I was about to make dinner. We used to argue about it. It took about a year until he would finally tell me the morning of if he knew we had a thing. Then when I started to meal plan I would ask Sunday what his week looked like. Of course things come up and that is understandable but he should know what his week generally looks like! Now my biggest struggle is he will tell me a time he thinks he will be home and he shows up 1-2 hours later sometimes without a text to say he's late. Doesn't understand how disrespectful that is. It's a constant expression of your feelings and having them consider them and readjust! LOL

My mother in law just had a stroke. Does the universe just want to throw every stressful situation at us right now? MIL had to have surgery to remove a clot in her brain that was heading towards her speech segment. She's in recovery now and I'm just waiting to hear when I can go see her. They will monitor her for 24 hrs to ensure she doesn't have another stroke.
