August 2012 Moms

UO Thursday

It's Thursday. Where has the week gone? SO told some lady at the store that Sergio was almost 7 weeks old and I thought,"How does he not know how old his kid is? He's almost 6 weeks!" No...no, he's not. He's almost 7 weeks. Christ.

Anyways, unusual opinions...go.

SCANDAL!

Re: UO Thursday

  • I don't think Modern Family is funny...at all. And I'm beyond sick of seeing Sofia Vegara on every single commercial for every single product ever...Cover Girl, KMart, Pepsi, the list is neverending.

    RockNPlays,  Most babies ONLY use the RNP and the problem? at 3 AM my arm is dead.

  • I've never seen Modern Family but I am sick of seeing Sofia Vegara everywhere. I also don't think shows like Modern Family or The New Normal are funny. Not my kind of humor I guess. I also don't understand why every new show has to have a flamboyantly gay character. Too much stereotyping.
  • I don't feel like feeding time with LO is a "bonding experience" like everyone says. I'm pretty sure he'd latch onto anyone or thing that gave him food and be just as distracted as he us with me.
  • Greek yogurt is the new trendy thing, but I think it's gross. I tried it with high hopes and was very disappointed. Yoplait, I'll never cheat on you again.
  • I think I deserve someone to give me their CD stash. I have to pick between buying cds of going on a Roma too weekend with so. Ugh. Really? I want both but I feel like I should pics the romantic weekend even though I know in the long run I should pick CD. Boo....

    This makes me so sad :[ although I am also sick of seeing Sofia on everything.

    I'll come back for my UO!

  • Sleep deprivation has made me crabby so don't be surprised if you see me post a couple times...

    I don't understand why people rush into life changing situations. My friend met a guy in May, got engaged in July, married in August and informed me she wasn't going to use BC so I'm waiting for her to tell me she's pregnant. If her biological clock was ticking I'd get it but she just turned 24 and has already been divorced once. She and her H admitted how much she has baby fever. She should spend a night with me and DS ... That should cure it.

  • Haha, I've rushed into everything in my life without a look backwards, and things seemed to have fallen in place :p

    I absolutely cannot stand people hating on the Biebs. He's a pop singer - there's a whole genre of pop singers. He's not the first. Get over it. The worst part is that when adults make fun of him, the sentiment trickles down to kids who will then make fun of other kids who DO like his music. And then there's bullying.

    Same goes for Twilight. They were a fun read, very light and casual. The only reason I enjoyed them was because it made me feel all mushy-crushy like when I was 14 - the target audience. If you're a grown-ass woman and you're vocally slamming Twilight on, say, Facebook, then you're a giant doucher. Just let it go - it's not for you.

    Getting children to read is a good thing, even if it's starting out as fluff. It's your job as a parent to introduce more quality literature, not berate the one thing she's starting to read.

    This post is brought to you out of irritation. I have several Facebook friends that I'm starting to see are more moronic than I originally understood them to be via the stupid yourecards and bluntcards they share.

    I need another effing cup of coffee.

    You go girl! I'm such a planner I couldn't do it. And in response to your Matt Lauer post... I've got a thing for Phil Michelson, man boobs and all. But at the last tournament he was looking extra good.

  • I totally agree about flamboyantly gay characters. This isn't the 90's.

    My UO is I don't understand why mothers don't know how to push their strollers through doorways. I see moms struggle with this and don't know why. All you do is back out of a door you push. For pull doors, you pull it open with the stroller facing away from the door, hold it open with your hip, swing the stroller around. Done. No struggle necessary.

  • There's no point in marking doors "enter" or "exit" because people go through any door they want. I like when I almost hit someone coming through the wrong door and they give me a dirty look.

    Man I am so this mom!  I manage to make it through the doorway, and I understand how you're supposed to do it but I always make it so awkward.  I'm totally intimidated with my new double stroller and won't even go to a store without automatic doors yet.  I should mention that I'm the most uncoordinated person on Earth.

  • This might make me look bad...but.... At first when I struggled with my supply and decided that it was easier on both me and baby if I didn't breastfeed, I was really down on myself thinking that I had somewhat failed. It took me weeks to get past the guilty feeling everytime I made LO a formula bottle.

    Fast forward to now and HALLELUJAH. It's such a relief that DH can help with bottles, I can leave the baby for 2 hours to go to the gym, I'm not getting milked by a pump all day long, I can have whatever size glass of wine I want....

    Maybe it's selfish but I am so much happier now than I was when LO was 2,3,4 weeks old.

    (This is NOT to bash anyone who breastfeeds...I'm actually extremely impressed and envious of those who stuck with it and had success with it.)

    Along this line: I think Rachel Maddow is sexy.

    I don't have uo I just needed to say that ^. 

  • I do not like the RNP. I know a crap ton of y'all swear by this product but I just don't like it. DS does not have one but we have used my niece's a number of times. My neice who is 8 months old actually developed flat head from this product. He slept good in it of course, but I do not like the idea of letting him sleep every night in one.

    Oprah gets on my nerves. I do not like her. She comes off as someone who is arrogant with an "I think I'm better than you but I'm pretending to be sincere" attitude.

    Same with Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris. I admit I am a Kardashian watching skeeze, but I can not stand how snooty Kim and her mother are. Kim isnt even that pretty to me. They should both come to Texas and ill show them how us country girls handle stuck ups like them :P

    Dancing with the stars is old news and over rated. It's like American idol...needs to be over with already.

    I've been watching a lot of TV. Can you tell? Lol.

    Oh no! If I could I would train you! I spent my "who am I?" years as a nanny for twins. Twice. I mastered the tandem and side by side. Othersiwse I too am terribly uncoordinated. Don't let it keep you home though! People love opening doors for strollers!

  • I think umbrellas and gum are two of the worst inventions ever. Mainly because people are totally inconsiderate when using them. If i get hit in the face or eye one more time by an idiot using a big umbrella on a crowded sidewalk i might lose it. Get a raincoat!

    And gum smacking is the worst sound in the world to me, along with nails on a chalkboard. I don't get chewing something you won't eat. If your breath smells, brush your teeth.

    The smell of patchouli. It smells like dirt to me.

    Tourists from NYC. I know they keep our local economy going. But they piss me off. They drive like morons, they cover the town like flies on sht every weekend and they can be rude. Not all....some.

    Oh man, same here. I really liked "Rolling in the Deep" and I didn't get sick of it's radio play as fast as I do most music, but when I did get sick of it, it was like the freaking song flu. Or song pneumonia. And the rest of her radio songs got really old, really quick for me. I think she's lovely and has a great voice, though.

  • EDITED (I just realized that my original UOs weren't actually UOs... they were more vents.  Probably better for Twatwaffle Tuesdays...)

    This is more likely an UO:  I am so sad that Desperate Housewives and One Tree Hill are not on anymore.  I have withdrawals from not having Desperate Housewives to watch on Sunday nights anymore, and I really want to see more of Nathan Scott from OTH.

    My first time around, I could have written this post word for word. Every single word. It is a little different this time but I do know that since my supply sucks that what I am doing is not sustainable (pumping every 3 hours to only be able to provide a little more than half of his daily intake) and I will be much happier when I decide to move on.

  • I find it highly irritating that Southerners refer to all pop as "Coke". It makes zero sense!

    This is probably not a UO but I have to say it since I went to Kohl's today - I cannot stand how they have one automatic door that is wide enough for one person with a cart that is both an entrance and an exit. I feel like every time I go in and out I am colliding with someone. But I just realized that I have a UO to add to this - I hate Kohl's! It's too cluttered for me but sometimes I just can't pass up their coups so I bite the bullet. Today I got 18 Caribou K-cups for $4.24! 

    I'm on a roll now - I hate these two words: p**sy and t*ts. I think it sounds so trashy, and particularly for some reason when I hear it come from women.

    Yes I have a friend who has tasted BM as an adult because some klassy new Mom was in a bar shooting it at people... so that comes pretty close I would think...

    My UO, is that while I've had one hell of a time taking both of my kids to the store, I don't understand not going out with a newborn. I go stir crazy at home, and I'm half an hour out of town, so if we need groceries, I have no choice... I figure it will never be as easy with Miles as it is now. For the most part he just sleeps, and this time next year I'll have 2 rambunctious toddlers to have to drag out of the house and around the store.&nbsp;



    I considered this as mine too. We go out every day!

    I love early mornings. Even without little one I'd be up at 5 or 6. Its my favorite part of the day. I like the smell of skunk I don't really like pop. I'm not a fan of fizzy

    I agree with all 3 here.

    I haven't had a pop since I was 13 with the exception of the occasional 4 sips of root beer (any more is too sweet).

    There are way worse smells than skunk so skunk doesn't register as a bad smell to me.  I don't think it is a pretty smell but it isn't as bad as so many make it out to be.
