March Randoms

zuuls_mom

Guys, it's already March! I do hope we get chatty enough to require weekly randoms. We can do it! 

lillywonderland

Boo to your gif! I had this one saved for March randoms, but forgot to start the new thread, LOL.

zuuls_mom

@lillywonderland ahhhh I'm sorry! I do like your gif choice too. Shall I edit? lol

I went to McDonald's for lunch today and always drink unsweetened tea. I cannot stand sweet tea. Anyway, I can tell they started putting sweet tea in and realized and then switched it to unsweet because it's got a hint of sweetness and I am so sad about it. Blech. 

lillywonderland

@zuuls_mom I go to McDonalds and ask for like 15-20 packets of sweet & sour sauce. DH likes to eat it with the chicken I pack in his lunch. I’m willing to pay for it, but they haven’t asked me for $ yet...

zuuls_mom

@lillywonderland what the eff!? I asked for one packet of buffalo and got charged 50 cents! Those assholes. 

lillywonderland

@zuuls_mom There’s no way I’m gonna pay 50 cents per packet. I am too cheap for that!!

cammie0526

@zuuls_mom and @lillywonderland I haven’t been to McDonald’s since I was 10 (long story short, saw something on the news about someone finding a chicken head in a nugget or something dumb) but now all I want is an egg mcmuffin. Thinking I might have to break my streak tomorrow.

Lately I have been craving Shamrock shakes and their berry sprite! So bad for me but sometimes you just need a pick me up!

lillywonderland

@cateyes543 Ahhh!! I forgot about the shamrock shakes!!!!!! Well now I might be going there just for that this weekend! 😋🍀

@zuuls_mom I also can't stand sweetened tea! I would've been so sad if that happened to me.

sunshine2417

@lillywonderland their Sweet and Sour sauce is SOOOOO GOOOOODDDD! I wish I could buy a huge bottle of it to put on literally everythiiiiiing!

Watching Workin' Moms on Netflix... anyone see it? I'm crying, I'm laughing, I'm commiserating. I never knew that I related SO much to a chick screaming her head off at a bear in the woods, but I felt that on a deep level! Hahaha

I so want to watch this. The trailers look awesome and I feel I will also be relating a lot!

@cateyes543 @Sunshine05 I know someone on here has seen Workin' Moms because I totally looked it up after they recommended that and Yummy Mummies. I can't remember who though. I watched Yummy Mummies and got a kick out of it. Rich people are crazy lol. I'm going to start Workin' Mom's this week. 

You all need to watch Ali Wong's Hard Knock Wife special on Netflix. It is super crude and not for the easily offended, but I died laughing. She talks about pregnancy and motherhood. Here are some quotes from it if you want a preview:

sunshine2417

@kgg2241 yes!!! She came out with Ali Wong Baby Cobra while I was pregnant with DS and I was peeing myself laughing so hard!!! I'm a huge Ali Wong fan!

rms924

@sunshine2417 OMG. yes I LOVE that show. I just discovered it last week and binge watched 6 episodes(which I guess was easy since the episodes are 20 min each). I feel like there's a little bit of me in each one especially since I had PPD after my last baby (that character was written really well to show the insanity of dealing with PPD). Whoever came up with that show deserves the biggest award for showing what it's like for moms trying to balance life and parenthood.

Although, I think the show is Canadian so the moms were going back to work at 6 months or 8 months pp. The vast majority of us in the US go back at 12 weeks which REALLY sucks....! 

kraane

I feel I should put Working Moms on my list on Netflix! @kgg2241 I read those quotes and literally laughed out loud. 
@rms924 I live in Canada and took a year off with my first and plan on doing the same with this LO. I can’t imagine 12 or less weeks as some have stated. 

My random thought is pregnant women should not be able to get sick. Fighting a terrible cough and stuffy head while still dealing with nausea and tiredness makes everything 1000x worse. 

septoctkids

@kiddiesandkitties the sauce meme is hysterical 😂 so true! 

sunshine2417

@kraane YESSSSSS! I totally agree! This has been one of the worst winters ever for me health-wise and it sucks! I’m currently battling a sinus infection and awful chest congestion and can’t sleep and feel like my head may explode! Oh, cause “morning” aka all day sickness wasn’t enough!!

I started Working Mom’s yesterday and am loving it! Also loved Hard Knocked Wife!!! 

calliah

I’m stuck at work and I don’t want to say the b-word. But... I’m am. I’ve only had one patient in 6 hours and I have 6 more to go. 

I’m pretty impressed by myself though. Friday I scanned a baby for size before the OB tried to do an external version. I got the baby weighing 6 pounds and 11 ounces on my scan. They had to do a section since baby wouldn’t move and he came out weighing 6 pounds and 11 ounces. Awesome sonographer right here 😂

bubsalicious

I just realized this week that I totally rub my feet together like a cricket when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I remember from a couple weeks ago that it annoyed some people and I was like ok, but here I am, rubbing my feet together!

kgg2241

@bubsalicious I do too! I already knew I did though . It helps me fall asleep. 

rms924

@calliah very impressive! Question: do you scan yourself because I would. All. The. Time. 🤦🏽‍♀️

LJMoon6

@bubsalicious MH rubs his feet together too. He says he's trying to warm them up... I think that's just an excuse because he's never cold. It annoys the F out of me lol. I swear he does it just to bug me now.

nightdreamr13

@kgg2241Ali wong is absolutely hilarious. I'll only have 5 wks of maternity leave when I'm due and I keep thinking 'If only I were a simple hoe so I didn't have to work'. Not really...but it makes me laugh. And her lines about the bathroom usage at work kills me every time!

November BMB opened up! We made it another month closer ladies!!! 

monkeysmom80

It's Fat Tuesday and I haven't had a paczki.  How is this possible? Also, most of you won't understand because it's mainly a Michigan thing. 

kiddiesandkitties

@monkeysmom80 I totally forgot it was Fat Tuesday, and I have no idea what a Paczki is (sounds like Packie... likely not booze? Sad.) ... but honestly, it's Fat Everyday around here lately. You should see the portion size of chili and pasta I just ate for lunch. 

@supermom34482 I saw that earlier!  Wooooo hoo! Chugging right along, mamas. 

monkeysmom80

@kiddiesandkitties Like a jelly/custard filled donut but SO much better!

janat1717

@monkeysmom80 That is too funny. This is the first year DH and I have heard of these. Only now we keep seeing and hearing about them everywhere😆. We did get to try one at church coffee hour but grocery store bought.

cammie0526

Me too @janat1717! Heard about them on the radio on the way to work this morning, now I swear I've seen a million posts on FB and heard people talking about them in the lunch room.

Related, I'm pumped that pregnancy is a great excuse to not give up any type of food for Lent this year. On the flip side, I'm going to try (key word) to make it back to the gym one of these days...

janat1717

@cammie0526 Agreed on lent although I'm still going to try to use it as an excuse to start eating healthier in the 2nd trimester. I'm feeling a little better but now I'm finding it difficult to give up the comfort foods. Ditto on the gym too.

monkeysmom80

@janat1717 Store bought ones are ok.  But if you can find them at a Polish Bakery, to die for!

@janat1717 & @cammie0526 you get a pass if your breastfeeding too.

zuuls_mom

@supermom34482 *runs off excitedly to lurk*

mamaber2204

@cammie0526 @janat1717 I just went back to the gym today after two weeks off (1 week of sick toddler & 1 week of vacation).  It was hard but it was SO good to get back at it.  Hopefully it doesn't make my afternoon fatigue that much worse!  Now I just need to work on the healthy eating part.  I'm currently scarfing down a burger (turkey, so yay?) and fries.  LOL.  Baby steps.

zuuls_mom

Sweet Jesus, please let DS sleep well tonight. He's been sick, teething, draining my life force for days now and I JUST. WANT. SLEEP. He's also now passed his cold off to me, so I am feeling like a total zombie. I miss my healthy child that slept through the night!  

mamaber2204

@zuuls_mom Oh no!!! Sending good thoughts your way for a healthy DS!    And hopefully the cold is a quick hit for you and you're back at it soon!  

zuuls_mom

@mamaber2204 he only napped for an hour at daycare today so I am not feeling great about our chances of tonight being smooth 

lillywonderland

@zuuls_mom Sending you some energy and strength to deal with your DS tonight!! And hopes for a speedy recovery!!
