I've been playing up my morning nausea so MH will make me my eggs and toast... but really I'm a lazy asshole.

I found the limit on too much screen time for DS yesterday. I was just so exhausted but he was a nightmare to put to bed so I need to tone it back and get more creative no matter how badly I feel from now on 😬

@chichiphin No shame! Let him cook!
@varimama What was the limit? Did he act out? Definitely cut yourself a break, but I'm curious to know what went wrong.

I bought a co-worker Krispy Kreme donuts this morning, since it's his last day on morning shift with us. I ATE THREE, and the day is not over.

I’m eating Olive Garden breadsticks for breakfast. 

I had a really good one yesterday and I’ve already forgotten it. I’ll remember later probably.

@MrsVP614 we watched an hour before nap, 40 minutes after nap, and about 1.5 hours before dinner. Usually it’s just 20 min after nap and 45-1hr before dinner. He just melted down for every step of bedtime, and then refused to go to sleep. It took almost 2 hours to get him to fall asleep. I think he just didn’t get enough energy out so I hope I can do better today!

@varimama we’re on vacation and have been soooo lax with all of the routines... and are definitely “paying for it.” Kiddo (16mo) has been missing naps and eating so many sweets and staying up late and melting down constantly! It’s too late now, but I’ve learned my lesson!

My daughter has watched so much TV this week it’s insane. I just feel terrible and it’s so hard to leave the house when it’s so hot and muggy out! I’m trying not to be too hard on myself about it.

My FFFC is that while I have been feeling pretty bad, I’m definitely playing up the nausea at nighttime to get out of sex. I am so far from in the mood and I’m sure DH is getting sick of not getting laid. But seriously I’m exhausted, bloated and feel like crap! Plus I’m re-watching the office which is much better than sex right now IMO.

FFFC 1 (sort of in spirit with @laurenm2123) DH is going out of town today through Monday. Sure, parenting two kids alone while puking will be hard, but I cannot wait to have that king size bed ALL to myself!

FFFC 2 I let a few Trump supporters stay in my life after the 2016 election, but if someone is doubling down on him and supporting him in 2020, then bye! I don’t need racist and immigrant/LGBTQ-haters in my life, and I certainly don’t need people who prioritize their own jobs and finances over equality (I’m not racist, I’m just voting for someone who is openly racist and favors divisive rhetoric and policies that set back blacks, immigrants, minorities, and LGBTQ members decades). I was joyously unfollowing people who went to his rally in my city last night.

@miss.sally I’ve brought up Olive Garden jokingly to DH about 4 times in the past week as an idea for dinner… but also, like, I’m not joking… (exclusively for the salad and breadsticks).

@mrsvp614 donuts sound so good. I’m definitely going to get one today. Lol

Edit: damn it why does my phone keep double posting!!

My FFFC: DD and I have gotten into a really lazy morning routine. It’s hard for us to get out of the house before 9. Right now it’s 9:10 and we are still in pajamas.

she used to be such an early riser and I’m really enjoying sleeping in, but next week when I go back to work and have to be out of the house by 7:30, it’s going to be a big shock for us both. Thankfully, H will be on drop off duty and he doesn’t have to leave until around 8.

@miss.sally @EmilyLove25 We were just talking about Olive Garden and Red Lobster the other day. I was like, I will eat at both of those places, no questions asked. Though the thought of Olive Garden churns my stomach currently, as does... most... thoughts... of food. Wahh, I love food usually.

My FFFC: Had a serious craving for carbs this morning and went to Dunkin and made some bad choices Had an iced caramel latte, multigrain bagel and a choc glazed donut. Not feeling guilty one bit just a little nauseous.

FFFC 1:  Same as @kantobean.  I LOVE sleeping in and have been taking full advantage all summer.  DD didn't get up today until 8:30 and it was glorious.  Transition back to school is going to be ROUGH though. 

FFFC2:  I read the BMB on Babycenter on a daily basis.  It is insane and like reality TV and leaves me feeling astonished, thankful for my own situation, and a little sad for a lot of other people.  Part of my FFFC is that I have an endless amount of empathy and patience for students with cognitive impairments, but so much less patience for stupid adults which I realize are often the same people - just grown up.  

mrsvp614

@laurenm2123 You’re speaking my language! I do NOT want to have sex right now. 
@EmilyLove25 I’m with you on the Trump supporters. I just don’t understand. I can’t post anything political because of work, so I just have to judge and stew in silence. 
@keeksie84 I haven’t looked at baby center since my last pregnancy and now I’m curious. 

kantobean

@keeksie84 oh now I kinda want to lurk BabyCenter.

another FFFC: DD is eating Cheetos for lunch. I took her to the zoo for our last official day of summer together. Normally I pack us a healthy picnic lunch but today I wasn’t feeling it. I thought she’d share my burger but she refused it. Whatever. We will have some fruit this afternoon at home.

@kantobean DD had Goldfish and a chocolate covered pretzel for dinner. Her choice, of course. 

miss.sally

Lol @kantobean DS ate three granola bars yesterday so that he would be quiet while we walked around some stores. And then for dinner he had about 25 raspberries and an rx bar. I give zero effs right now.

I ate an entire bag of sweet Maui onion chips yesterday.
