FFFC

I always think of confessions during the week and forget by Friday. I should write them down or something.

This is me every week.

Last Saturday after W's 1 year pics with Amy, I put him down for nap and pulled the rest of his smash cake out of the garbage to eat.  

I love you.

Today is my last day at my current company. I am sad but very excited, the FFFC part though is the thing I will miss most is the eye candy in the cafeteria during lunchtime

Yay!!!  Congrats again, lady!!

I might've said this before, but I really.don't.care if Laurel eats Cheerios that fell on the floor.  Maybe I should, but whatever.

Aaaand this just made me think of one.  I was at the bank this morning opening a new biz account and Lila was with me.  She was antsy, so she was rolling around on the ground, etc.  She was eating Snapea Crisps and when one fell on the carpet, the banker picked it up and seemed unsure whether to give it back to her or not.  Uh, not even a question for me - yes, she can have it back.  So what if it picks up a few particles of dirt?  Let's be honest, the carpet there probably gets vacuumed every night, which is FAR more often than our rugs at home get vacuumed.  So Maddie - I say don't sweat it.

Happy birthday, H! I hope you don't have to go in to work!!

I've engaged in a lot of retail therapy this week.

Amazon prime has me spoiled - I'm annoyed that a package has taken 4 days instead of the 2 it was supposed to. I guess I need more patience...

I hate it when people make you feel bad for THEM moving away. FIL said to us  that my MIL is sad because she misses out on so much of Coop growing up and not being able to see him. Hello, YOU moved 4 hrs away I feel like saying, not US.

I have the worst AF cramps and I feel like just hurling up in a ball and spending the day on the couch.

I may or may not have accidentally had an M&M blizzard for lunch. Not instead of mind you...just in addition to.

And I am so damn jealous of my coworkers. A group of them are "working" SXSW this week. In addition to our private showcase with the Bangles - they have already hob-knobbed with the likes of Yoko Ono and John Hamm....dammit!

I think I scarred my kid for life today.

We were in the car in Target's parking lot, and I was waiting for him to wake up from his nap. He'd only been asleep for about 10 minutes when I got this gnarly stomach ache and...you guessed it, had to go #2. I waited as long as I could, and then I just couldn't take it anymore. I woke him up from his nap, carried him into Target as fast as I could, got into the bathroom and realized I had nowhere to sit him! So, the poor thing sat on my lap while I went poopy. Thank god he was too dazed and confused to be anything but stunned, and wasn't squirming all over the place. Needless to say, wiping was interesting.

That totally happened to me when I was driving by myself with Em to Seattle when she was about 6 months old. But the closest bathroom was a rest stop. She had taken her shoes and socks off, so I had no choice but to hold her while I went. It is definitely interesting trying to wipe while holding a baby...

My confession is that I've got no patience for my daughter lately. She's been absolutely rude and disrespectful lately and I feel like a terrible mother because I am so tired that I think she tries to walk all over me. She was screaming at me all morning and I called my husband and left him a message and started crying because I was so stressed out. I'm also mad at him for not calling me back to see how I was doing. I want to kick him when he gets home.

At work, I have a special bathroom I exclusively use for #2.

I win.

Yeah I'm right there with ya on that. God made dirt and don't hurt.

Oh man, that's not a big deal - he doesn't even know!   He's definitely not scarred.  He may want to sit on your lap in the bathroom now all the time though.     What else are you supposed to do with a baby in there???   Better than sitting him on the FLOOR.  gross.  I know dirt is ok and all, but not in the bathroom at Target.  Blech.

I've definitely used the bathroom with kids on my lap or in a carrier strapped to me.  I once changed a diaper in an airplane bathroom where I was sitting going pee, while I was changing Ben's diaper on my lap.  You gotta do what you gotta do.

Edited to add:  As a fellow mom of car nappers, I seriously feel for you having to sit there trying to decide if you can wait and not wanting to wake a sleeping baby!!!

I'm visiting my parents. I clipped a jagged toe nail over their kitchen sink and it didn't land where I thought it would. It bounced up onto the counter but there was so much clutter that I couldn't locate the nail clipping. Oops.

A huge group of co-workers are going to happy hour tonight (a rare occurrence), but I can't go because my H is away for work so I'm alone with the kid.  I'm so jealous and upset I want to cry.  I miss being able to just be spontaneous.   Plus I feel a little stupid for being this upset.  Wanting to cry is not an exaggeration.

I "need" new dishes and some other household things from Crate and Barrel.  We'll be in Portland several times over the next several months so I plan to buy them there to save sales tax. 

I also set up a "Celebration" registry to get the 10% completion discount.  DH asked what I'm celebrating.

"My new plates."
"Can we also celebrate my new knife?"

I'm *so* over wearing this effing sling.  It's been 3 weeks and it's such a PIT(Arm).  Ugh.  Today, I was using the restroom at work and because I can't reach my arm around and pull up the long sweater I am wearing, I took the chance of not worrying about it... but I really should have because the sweater belt got into the toilet.  Gross.

I know exactly how you feel.     Hugs.

I say you pick up a bottle of wine on your way home and have your own happy hour!

GAH!  Now I have to get off Facebook because they are all posting about how much fun they are having and posting pictures!

Today is my birthday. I looked at the work schedule earlier in the week and it looked like I was going to be able to get cut and not have to work because there were so many people and I was first request. I looked at it again yesterday and someone had already called in sick for the next day and then someone else was randomly taken off the schedule. So I'm going to be picking up my phone in a few minutes to call in sick. I just don't feel like working on my birthday.

My birthday is on Monday.  Guess who purposely scheduled a guest speaker for the afternoon and found a video to go along with the book we are reading for part of the morning?  I really wanted to have an easy teaching day that was fun for me and the kids.

When I'm in a bad mood and have to drive somewhere (home from work, etc) I will cycle through (the un-edited version of) Cee Lo Green's "F**k You" and the Glee version of "Don't Stop Believin'" over and over on my iPod.  One after another.  And sign along.  Loudly.  And ya know what?  It makes me feel better.  Particularly when I yell along with the f**k you part.  I realize this is a weird combo of songs - but it's cathartic and happy at the same time.

I don't do it when anyone else (like DS) is in the car with me.

Sometimes I wish that I asked DH to just stay in Cali with me, and for us to not move to Seattle. 

I really want a baby shower, just to celebrate with loved ones. Not so much for the gifts. This baby was planned, and we are so excited, but no one else really shows it.

I totally get that, Jen.  I would feel the same way.

I judge couples who think it is ok to fight in public.  I was at Safeway tonight when I heard from the next aisle over a couple fighting.  They then came around the corner and it was even worse.  They had their 2-3 year old son with them and they are yelling at each other because the girl wanted pizza rolls.  The guy kept yelling at her to get the F**king pizza rolls and she is crying and yelling back. They continued to fight all over the store and were being so loud.  It was ridiculous and I felt terrible for their son.  As much as I was judging them, I also felt sorry for them that they thought this was acceptable behavior for being in public!

Today J went to daycare all day and the maid came and cleaned the house while I sat on my a$$. I felt beyond lazy but got over it enough to take a long nap this afternoon.

Good for you!  You have a newborn and a toddler - that's hard work.  I hope you enjoyed your nap!
