Of course now that I’m pregnant and actually NEED THEM IN MY LIFE, I can’t find Christmas tree cakes anywhere. I went to 4 stores today and everyone was sold out. 😭😭😭
I am with y’all on the sweets cravings. For the last 2 months I’ve been craving savory/salty foods but last night I made DH go buy ice cream sundae ingredients 😋
My favorite egg nog is back in stores, so obviously I grabbed some over the weekend. But I was very disappointed to discover it tastes waaaay sweeter when I don't have a splash of bourbon to mix in 😭 might try to buy a NA whisky and see if that helps with the flavor, or I'll just add more fresh nutmeg.
My late night thoughts while trying to fall asleep (mostly silly thoughts!):
- I am growing a penis. Wow. Am I a human or super woman? - why do we think it’s so precious when we feel a baby kick? Like.. when baby is born and they give you a nice lil karate chop to the uterus, it’s not so cute. - the thought of my first baby holding my second…….. omgggggg. So cute.
- am I insane? How am I going to do this? I cant handle two kids! - labor… I did not forget it. Not even a bit. So… pass!! Wake me when it’s over lol
All you people who have never seen the Little Debbie Christmas Trees! It’s not Christmas without them! Unfortunately, I ate something mildly sweet last night and nearly gagged because it tasted so overly sweet to me, so that fun aversion can go away 🙄
Reason I cried today: Insomnia last night so I was up and watching Murder, She Wrote(old school greatness!!) The Christmas Kohl’s commercial came on with the little boy dancing with his grandmother and I LOST it. I should probably just stay away from Hallmark Christmas movies if I can’t handle commercials LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Ugh. I started crying at yoga last night. We were in savasana and she said to let go of all tension and I just started crying. No real explanation, really. I recently found out my dad is ill. It’s not terrible or life threatening in any way, I just started thinking about how my baby (and my existing kids, for that matter) will never get to meet my dad the way he “was”. The way I knew him. They’ll just meet a cranky, lame old man with bad breath and sore eyes and who’s hard of hearing. That’s not who my dad is. He’s jolly and witty and outgoing. And I just lost it. I didn’t even realize I had so much bottled up…and here I go again…
@annashaf I soooo feel this. As cliche as it is, it’s so good to get that out. I lost my dad in January 2019 and I can’t even talk about him most of the time without bawling so I tend to avoid it/hold it in. But it’s much much better to get it out. I’ve had similar thoughts with DS, he only knew my dad for 1 year so he will never know him like I did, and then this baby won’t know my dad at all. It hurts. I don’t know if this will make you feel better but maybe it helps to know you aren’t alone.
I’ve been slacking on this thread and oh my word @MrsLaLaBug those little debbies sound so good right now. They remind me of when my mom used to pack my school lunches when I was little 😍 I loved things like the trees and cosmic brownies haha
@b_1029 omg the cosmic brownies are my kids’ absolute FAVE. They make Christmas tree style cosmic brownies and I bought like three boxes when I scored all my Christmas tree cakes. My kids have legit torn through 2 of the boxes already so I hid the rest. 😂😂😂😂
@MrsLaLaBug are those the ones with green frosting? If so, I LOVE those. I 100% couldn’t keep any of this in my house right now because I know no self control
Jeeeeeez, I really want Little Debbie but...I can't stomach anything too sweet! My cravings have been icy cold drinks, overly salty/sour/spicy! The most sweet I can handle currently is sweet tea and the occasional pastry. But the overwhelming urge to buy up all the Takis spicy meat sticks has been all-consuming!
I went through Starbucks after my appt, which I never do, but I reeeally wanted a hazelnut latte. They were out of hazelnut syrup. They were suggesting their holiday drinks but those are always too sweet for me and I panicked and just ordered a caramel latte instead and it was so bad. My craving turned into crying today lol
I ate half a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream last night. Big regret, because it's coconut based and man, a lot of coconut wreaks havoc on my stomach 😂

This is the ONLY thing in your grocery cart.
