FFFC?
Yes, we all have tons to be thankful for, but a little venting never hurt anyone.
My FFFC:
I'm having second thoughts about something I shouldn't have second thoughts about and I keep beating myself up over it.
MIL send me $$$ for the kids. I know I should send it back, but there's a ton of stuff I could buy for them with it.
I had two donuts for breakfast. It's national donut day so I felt obligated.

Re: FFFC?
We're only 5 days into summer break and I'm already really, really ready for school to start back up.
Me too. DS just asked me when DD was going back to school.
I've gotten done at work a bit early a couple days this week and went home before getting DD. I could have spent that time cleaning, but instead just sat around enjoying the peace and quiet.
I'm sitting her looking at sparkpeople trying to figure out how I can work a donut or cinnamon roll into my daily calories and not totally blow my day.
I am working a car show tomorrow for my company and I totally lied to them about having to leave at 2 tomorrow for a birthday party that is actually tonight because I just don't want to work on Saturday's, ever!
Also, my boss just flew to Aruba yesterday for a work trip and I used the company credit card to buy the whole office lunch in celebration of him not being here. I have to think of a good reason for the expense on the card by the time the bill arrives.
I stayed up til almost 1am last night worrying about all the things I need to get done before baby #2 gets here. I REALLY REALLY hope that all my parents pick up by 4 today - if they do I'll have an hour where I can put the TV on for C and take a nap... I am so tired.
SInce being tired is a lame confession... I regularly eat 2 desserts per day. Sometime 3. I am so so happy I passed my glucose test and I'm really not gaining a ton of weight and I do eat these on top of other really healthy foods... so that makes it ok, right?
I also count ice cream as a serving of dairy so I pretty much have to eat it everyday...
I've had the biggest grin on my face all week knowing that today was the start of exams. I am so ready for summer.
I made DH take Sunday off from umpiring when he could have made over $150 cash. I went into his google calendar and scheduled it over a month ago. Sunday's my birthday and I want to spend the day together as a family.
I'm home and DS is still at daycare. It feels fabulous to have a few minutes... er... an hour to myself.
Our best friends had a baby 2 months ago and I'm CONSTANTLY judging their parenting. DH too. We are floored that they give the baby pumped BM instead of nursing bc the baby has reflux and gets really sick from bottles. They just shrug like they can't figure out why she's vomiting after bottles. They've upped her Zantac prescription and everything.
Also, the mom is super hands-off. Last weekend we were over at their house for a Memorial Day bbq and the mom didn't touch, look at, nurse, or hold the baby until we'd been there for 6 hours. She just drank and floated around the pool. I have SUCH a hard time biting my tongue.
I'm sick of stupid people. I'm sick of friends who are only there for you when it's to their benefit or when it's convenient for them. I'm sick of friends who can't take two freaking seconds to respond to something you ask them, but still seem to have the time to kiss other friend's asses. I'm sick of how petty some grown women can be. But most of all, I'm just done with letting people walk all over me. You can't take two seconds to respond to something I ask you and expect me to keep waiting and waiting. Sorry about your luck. I'm not waiting around anymore. If it's too inconvenient for you to respond to me, then it's probably too inconvenient for you to be my friend too.
Just a question about this...if the baby has reflux, wouldn't she have it regardless of how she's fed? My DS has it, he was BF in the beginning and had it and now is FF and still has it. Maybe there's something I don't know, I mean she could be vomitting because she's getting too much air from her specific bottle or something, or maybe because of her reflux she's more comfortable eating in an upright position which may not be as easy if she's BFing. I have to feed DS upright and keep him that way.
TMI Alert:
I have a giant zit on my butt. It's one of those big red ones that nothing comes out of put hurts like the devil. So I have been playing with my butt all day.
(Which really makes it no different than any other day, right? I just thought I would beat someone else to the punchline.)
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy?
Ummm, poop. I owe you a response on an FBM...
I ate 3 cupcakes, an egg and cheese biscuit, and a McCafe frappe, yesterday morning, after my doctor's appt.
Sometimes, I think DH does a better job at parenting than I do. For instance, on Wednesday, he took both the boys to the Levee - Aquarium + Dewey's for lunch...all by himself. Just the thought of that intimidates me.
I spent most of this afternoon judging two parents, at the pool, and thinking that it's not fair that they have two children when so many others (who would be WONDERFUL parents) have such difficulty TTC. Reasons for judging - (1) the father admitted (to the mother) that he hadn't put any sunscreen on their 2YO daughter, because "it's not like we'll be here for HOURS or anything," (2) dude walked in with nothing (no toys, no towel, no beverage for the child) other than a cup of sweet tarts for the 2YO, (3) they kept calling 2YO a brat, to her face.
If I'm not going to judge you for having a baby in a bar, then you can't judge me for calling my kids' brats to their faces.
I am stimming for a DE cycle of IVF..and just had a beer. I know I am not supposed to but I have abstained from all alcohol all other cycles (28 to be exact) that I told myself one beer isn't going to matter. Maybe if I just relax right? (JK for all the IFers)...I justify by saying you can have one a week when pregnant so why not one every six weeks while on meds.
ET hasn't happened yet just so you know..and U/S are right on target.
Definitely wasn't referring to you! I don't need an answer to THAT question for at least another 26 days.
If MJ's is a bar, then you better not be calling your children anything less than angels to their faces. I mean, they have filet mignon on their menu, for Pete's sake.
I was just teasing...
Is the filet any good?
C'mon, silly...I know this!
Yes, it was actually REALLY good! The potatoes...not so much (totally dry), but the filet was AMAZING (and I'm not really a red meat type of girl).
They've only tried Dr Browns bottles. She doesn't get sick nearly as often when she BFs. She almost always gets sick from bottles.
