Hmmm, where to begin...
I think the people who b!tch and moan the most actually have the least amount of problems and Facebook only exacerbates their ability to b!itch and moan. Life's too short people. Get over it.
I ate 3 pumpkin muffins for breakfast.
I bought soda with food stamps the other day because I need the caffeine to help me deal with insomnia and raising two kids by myself. So the politicians who want to make it impossible to use FS for soda can suck it!
The last two weeks have been really crappy for me and I've basically lived on cigarettes and Diet Coke even though I don't smoke and I watched my grandfather die from lung cancer. I've lost 5 lbs in the process and actually contemplated making it a regular habit.
Re: FFFC?
My DS still sleeps in bed with us every single night. He starts off in the crib, but when he wakes up anytime between 12-4 we bring him in with us. We've been bedsharing since Day 1... but the plan was to get him full time to the crib after his 1st Birthday. I've made no effort to change it... and have/would NEVER tell any family or friends. They would be horrified
I am thrilled that my DS has hit most his milestones way before my good friends son... she is the one that is so competitive, I could normally care less. But in this instance... it feels good, lol.
Warrior... I did that diet all through college!
I am secretly happy to return to work on Monday.
OMG, why did you have to mention Chipotle? That's my weakness. We eat there at least once a week. I know what's for dinner tonight.
I complained on FB today. I think that I usually don't, but maybe I'm wrong. In my defense, I was really, really, really freaking annoyed. I stand by that claim.
When I still smoked the biggest reason I had for not quitting was that I didn't want to gain weight.
I'm annoyed at my mom because she will never babysit for us. It's not that I'm annoyed because she likes her own time, I completely get that, but she always bitches and moans when we get one of the daycare teachers to sit for us and throws a shitfit about it, but then whenever I ask her if she can do it she says no. And I don't mean last minute requests, either. Or she says yes, and tells us to stay out as late as we want, and then when she shows up at our door she tells us to be home by 8 (!). WTF?
I'm feeling bitter about my dad's new girlfriend and her daughter. He's been dating her for over a year and he's all dad-like with her. She's a bit younger than I was when he disappeared from my life, and I'm 100% jealous that she has him around when I didn't. How dumb is that?
The ILs sent me a $25 GC to Amazon. It came after the soap, so I don't know if they felt bad about it, or if it was planned ahead of time and just didn't arrive in time, or what, but I used it to buy the Parenting Beyond Belief book for heathen parents. That'll teach her.

I just started tracking what I eat on sparkpeople to try to kick the last of the baby weight I need to lose. Now I'm done with work until a meeting at 3:30 and am thinking about a trip to DLM for a cookie and browse for something good for dinner.
I also really need to clean up my office, but have no desire to do so. It drives me nuts, but I just can't work up the motivation to do it.
If Diet Coke and cigarettes are the worst things you're doing, I think you're doing pretty damn well.
1) I have a pile of about 50 items on my ironing board at home. It's been there for at least a month.
2) For the past two weeks I've been running the half-full dishwasher so that I can avoid hand-washing my travel coffee mugs that I take to work every day.

I drank an entire bottle of wine last night. I feel awesome right now.
I hate that my future professional happiness swings on an election.
I think people that use facebook/twitter constantly are either entirely bored with their real lives or complete narcissists who think the world cares what they do 24 hours a day.
People that text message as a form of communication regarding important issues are immature, passive-aggressive and too afraid to say what needs to be said face-to-face. Text messaging is not for constant communication. Text messaging is not meant to be utilized to discuss important problems or issues. Grow a pair and say it to my face.
My SIL has miscarried twice and DH's family has been secretly relieved. In a way, I understand where they are coming from. She's married to a physically and emotionally abusive man who controls her and treats her like dirt. I can only imagine how he'll treat an infant who will take attention away from him. It's a recipe for disaster. I feel bad for her, not only because of the miscarriages, but because she does not have the support of her family.
The only thing I've nourished my fetus with today has been coffee and half a pint of Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (spoonful of awesome BTW). I've just been insanely wrapped up in organizing digital photo files, which is the last thing I need to be doing since I haven't even emptied my dishwasher or taken a shower this morning. I need to go heat up a bean burrito... and take some prenatal vitamins... and a shower.
I've been in a funk for the past 2 weeks... headaches and physically/mentally just "not feeling it" and it makes me feel like a terrible mom. I need to snap out of it and try harder. I know it's the only thing that will make me feel better.
My friend (who has yet to have children and might not be able to due to cancer) and I are throwing a baby shower for our best friend. I can't help feeling pissy and sorry for myself. I should have a 3 month old now! And I feel even worse about myself because my co-host is the most unselfish person. She has people getting pregnant left and right around her and never fails to congratulate or be excited for people. And here I am being an uber-b*tch because we haven't been able to conceive for only a year when she might not ever get the chance to try.
And yet, despite all that, I still am sad for myself.
My thoughts are the same on the FB thing. I have to look past petty whines. I do it myself, occasionally. Usually it's more of a vent though. But the people who do it every stinking day really worry me a bit.
Warrior-Maybe another GNO with drinking involved would justify the cigarettes? (Not that you don't have a valid reason). Many people who don't smoke magically do when there is alcohol around. I am sure there are several here who would be more than willing to help you with another excuse.
I am really really not looking forward to binky breaking this weekend. I have two magnums of wine chilled and ready for the meltdown every night. So much for losing weight.
I always have 2 packages of oreos in my pantry because its pretty much the cheapest and easiest access to chocolate I can have. Bad news because I eat them every day =/
the baby sleeps in the bed with me....every single night. It's the best way for both of us to get zZz's
I'm already thinking of birthday party ideas for Ben's 3rd birthday, and it's not until March
I'm in a slight panic because the batteries on Nathans swing are dying a slow death and we have no others in the house
Also my maternity clothes have been sitting in a pile on the floor by my closet for over a month, waiting to be packed away...
same here! i found myself browsing birthdayexpress for party ideas. i am so silly. i need to deal with halloween and christmas first!
My kitchen is a disaster area complete with a dishwasher that needs to be unloaded, two baskets of clothes that need to be folded, and piles of crap that need to be put away. Instead of caring, I went to the grocery store, had Tyler's picture taken, and went shopping with my mom. And now I'm on the computer.
My sister asked me about a month ago if I would keep my niece overnight tomorrow night because BIL is running in the Columbus marathon and she's going with him. I said yes, even though it's our anniversary this weekend. I'm sorta bitter that I said yes. I would rather have a date with DH.
My sister and I went out to lunch right after Tyler's surgery to have tubes in his ears on Tuesday. He was crabby and I probably should have taken him home, but I was starving. He ate a pile of fries off my sister's plate and was just fine afterwards.

I could've helped dh with the trash last night and instead I went to bed. He took the trash out and then fell asleep on the couch until 4 am... oops...
I have eaten crap all week. This morning on my way in to work, I stopped at UDF and got 2 20 oz bottles of Diet Sunkist (my vice that I've tried to break my habit of drinking) AND a bag of chocolate donettes. I've eaten almost the entire bag. Oh, and we're ordering pizza tonight... to add to the crap.
I have a load of wash in the washer that I'm going to have to run again because I forgot to put it in the dryer.
Oh, and my husband also cleaned up the dinner dishes last night... I went to bed before I did that too.
GNO with drinks? yes please!
