Thanks Mallory! I knew that I knew it, but nothing was coming to mind...
Ok, moving on...
FFFC is: DH and I have been putting the kids to bed early just to have sexy time together the last few nights and my kids haven't bathed the last two days. Tonight after dinner they will for sure get bathed but they haven't really played outside a whole lot due to the heat being soo hot so I just let them slide for a few days...

DS is in the corner playing with disgusting, old, slobber covered dog toys. He is finally being quiet after a week of non-stop whining and crying though, so I don't care.
I get up to work out around 6:30 in the mornings and the kids are usually starting to wake up then. I have been staying downstairs for an extra 20 minute or so to relax with my coffee after I workout, while DH is upstairs dealing with the kids.
The other day, I told him to take the kids outside to play so I could make lunch, since they were driving me nuts....before I made lunch I sat on the couch for a few with the laptop and a brownie

Even tho it wasn't nap time yet and DS wasn't tired, I swaddled him, gave him his paci and stuck him in the swing...a sure fire thing to get him to sleep. I was so tired and needed a nap. So now our schedule is a bit thrown off, but I feel better after my nap.
I put DS in the crib today, even though it was WAY before nap-time, hoping he'd fall asleep. His 2-year molars are coming in (Thought I would get a break from teething but alas, he is getting them 6 months early) and he's been whining all morning.
He was fussing in there for about 45 minutes before I went and got him. Just needed a break.

Ha! 100% Parenting by the theory of "Whatever Works" I love it!
I posted this earlier in the FFC thread on another board, but here's one:
This is kind of long.
My DS has to have eye surgery (on both eyes) in October. I have made it very clear to the few people in the know about this that I want this to stay under the radar. I never talk about it, because when people say things like "you must be so upset" etc it intensifies my anxiety.
My "best friend" suddenly diagnosed her son with the same condition. This isn't the first time Jack has had an issue that her son suddenly develops within weeks of me mentioning something about Jack.
I don't care about the attention it brings her- obviously I don't even tell people these things about Jack for this very reason. The flameful part is... She has a history of crazy, and when it comes to this stuff, I think she's lying. Not like, drama queen making a big deal out of things, but lying because it gets her a lot of attention.
I have a friend very much like this! She just got pregnant after finding out I was pregnant. I noticed soon after anytime I had a complaint/symptom she would have the same exact thing a few days later. It has now gotten to the point where I just make sh!t up so I can be entertained a few days later by her having the same non-existent symptom I didn't have. It never fails she ALWAYS has whatever I say I have.
Today was my aunt's funeral. As funerals go, it sucked because I kept expecting my aunt to just roll up in her wheelchair and crack a joke to lighten the mood.
Anyway, my aunt's daughter is an only child and has always acted like it. I love my cousin and I know this is hard on her. However, her attitude that my aunt's death is "all about me" (my cousin) is really hard on my mom and her other siblings. And my mom's attitude that my cousin is being selfish is hard to hear when I know my cousin is really struggling. Mom walked in on my cousin opening all the cards (that were addressed to family), counting the money......and blew up. Words were said, no one was right, and I'm sure there are hard feelings right now. Just not what our family needs.
I wanted to give some serious lectures about what is not needed today but I didn't...because it only would have made things worse. I see both points but arguments and judgements just didn't have their place today.
The only thing stopping me from smoking pot is that it is illegal. If marijuana was legalized, I would totally partake on an occasional (or every) Friday or Saturday night. This is flame free, right?

Oooh, good one Susan! Yes it's flame free!
Honestly, I have never smoked pot, but DH and I joke all the time about how the kids are going to drive us to it one day!

I have been "sneaking away" a lot lately.

This made me LOL!

Mine is depressing but oh well...
