aaaaaand... go!

I'm always in for good, constructive conversation on sensitive subjects, but the last few days have been too much for me. TL;DR totally applies. I'm ready for some more fluff posts.

I let Aria eat some of my seafood alfredo before realizing that she probably shouldn't have shellfish yet. She loved it and lived, so I think we're ok.

I'm really happy for all of you that have made the decision to TTC now, and for those of you who are pregnant again. I also think you're all insane. Stick out tongue

I just ate 3 inappropriately named "fun sized" Snickers for breakfast. I intend to get through as much of the bag as possible before Hubster wakes up.

MrMrsandBaby · October 2012

My doctors office called, I had strep, not mono. I have not told DH yet because I want him to see what it's like when he is "sick" and I have to do all the work around the house.

FWIW, he isn't doing anything more than normal so I've been sighing a lot as I continue to make dinner, take care of DD and clean up the house every flippin night while he takes his sweet ass time getting ready for the day (he works nights so wakes up when we get home).

I may just tell him the doc said I have mono and need to rest as much as possible so he can see how difficult it is to take care of Allison while making dinner and keeping the house picked up...I will go take a nap!

jmccall79 · October 2012

Because my family would shoot me if I told them this, I'll tell you all. I miss Ian's daddy (exSO). It's been a little over a month now that I've been gone. I've seen him a few times...dropping Ian off to visit, or picking up money. When things were good between us, they were good. But, when things were bad, well it hit the fan! I know I cannot and will not go back, but I still miss him on occasion. I do not miss the bad times of course, but I miss our little quirky things...and as I sit here and type this, with tears streaming down my face, my heart hurts!

My coworker is driving me up a wall. She is trying to lose weight and she's being a moron about it. She walks for an hour at lunch every day, then goes to the gym at night - both good things. But she is eating NOTHING. She has fat free oatmeal for breakfast, salad with no dressing lunch, and grilled chicken and veggies for dinner every day. Snacks are usually a fruit and a veggie. She aims to keep her total caloric intake at an absolute maximum of 1200 calories a day, but preferably under 1000 calories. Every week she loses no weight, and whenever she deviates even the slightest from her diet she puts weight on. I've told her that she should really go see a nutritionist, that it's very possible that she could be eating too few calories and her body could be going into starvation mode (especially since she's eating no fat at all!), and wouldn't it be great if she could eat a little more and lose weight. But no. Instead every single day I get to listen to her tell each of our coworkers how many miles she did yesterday throughout all of her exercise, how little she ate, how hungry she is, and how she's so sick of not losing weight. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I want to scream! And, of course, she's my supervisor and my partner at work.

Well, you can tell her you know someone who consistently eats 2200 calories a day and loses 0.5-2 lbs a week. I know I've got BFing in there, but it sounds like she burns more a day than I do. The idea of only eating 1000 calories a day makes me sad.

OMG, there was a lady here who used to be like this! She'd talk, non-stop, about all the time she spent in the gym, what she was eating, blah, blah, blah. She had more cellulite on her a$$ than I do. I always thought to myself that if "that" was what all that wasted time gets ya, I'll stick with my "lazy" routine, lol!

runrinserepeat · October 2012

I stayed up too late last night bumping, and now I'm exhausted. SO instead of working, all I want to do is bump more. Probably not a great plan.

This is the main reason I want to BF forever! I don't think I'm actually losing weight anymore, but I'm definitely maintaining and my prepreg clothes are fitting ok. And with the way I'm eating and my lack of time for exercise, the only thing I can attribute it to is BF'ing.

mle5d · October 2012

Not sure if this is a FFFC or what, but I was totally excited to dress DS in fall clothes today! In south Texas, we get very little cool weather, so I have to take advantage when I can. He's in a hoodie and jeans, and DH made fun of me b/c we're only in the 60's today. I did give in and throw a t-shirt in his bag in case he got hot at school.

So I guess my confession is that I am totally okay with dressing him for the perception of the weather, rather than the actual temp.

The other day at work I had two fun sized kit kats, a Hershey bar and a Reese's peanut butter cup. 700 calories. I almost fell out of my chair.

This must be so hard. I can't imagine having to move on from someone, but still see them often and have your child as a constant reminder of them! Not that that's a bad thing, but I would think it would take much longer to really heal and get over someone. Stay strong, you know you're doing the right thing!

It makes me sad too, especially because all she thinks about/talks about now is food. She's also one of those people who will complain until she's blue in the face but refuse to take any actions to fix what's bothering her, and I can't stand people like that. She complains about food, her weight, her son, her H, her job, her family, everything. At first I would just listen, then I started offering advice, now I tune her out and just nod a lot.

Jlobebe2012 · October 2012

Before bed last night, I was watching MTV and I became so excited to see that they are bringing back Teen Mom 2... Season premier Nov 12... Oh yea!! My choice of TV shows is pretty much ridiculous, and I would never admit to the reality junk I watch to anyone at work.

Cards on the table, I think about food all day long. Being a healthy weight is a struggle for me, so it takes logging every single bite I take.

Of course, if I were starving myself, I'm sure I'd be that much more obsessed with food.

She sounds annoying. Do you have headphones? I listen to NPR when I want to drown out my officemate.

It is really hard to let go of someone who you loved and has been a huge part of your life no matter how bad it got at times. You are being strong and not going back so you should let yourself be sad when you need to be. There is nothing wrong with missing someone, you have to feel what you feel. I remember that heart hurting feeling, it's terrible. You can tell us how much you miss him ANYTIME you want! *HUGS*

Jen0204 · October 2012

I wear headphones once in a while, but they're frowned upon here because we get calls a lot. I always keep them low enough so that I hear my phone, but I save them for the especially annoying days.

I've never listened to NPR. What kind of stuff do you listen to on there?

It's mostly classical music during the day, but before 9:00 and after 4:00 they do news and stories. IDK, I think it's better than music radio stations.

we're only in the 60's today.

Hey, we're in the 60s today too...and I think a hoodie is perfectly fine. When you go from 80-90 to 60, that's cold! I was sporting a hoodie this morning...and dressed Ian very similar.

True confession...and it is bad. I keep my ex bf on my Facebook feed simply so I can see how much prettier I am compared with his wife. I have zero interest in him but I can't help myself. I am a mean girl.

LOL! True confession, I stalk exSO's phone record a few times a week! His phone is on my account, so I don't see it as stalking, just making sure we're not going over on minutes or data. Ok, yeah, I'm stalking lol.

What NPR station do you listen to? Ours is all news, etc. during the day. We have a separate channel for classical music.

Jen, if you want to start with something on NPR, listen to Fresh Air. Terry Gross is the best. She interviews everyone from musicians to actors to authors to scientists to war veterans. Sometimes her shows are hysterical, other times they're tear-jerking. When she really thinks something's funny, she snorts. Cracks me up. https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/

I'm with you! I don't watch much TV but when I do, it's normally Teen Mom, 16 & Pregnant or Real Housewives of something. It's horrible but I like mindless TV. Especially because I'm usually half asleep when I watch it.

NatnDyl · October 2012

Confession: I don't remember how to make friends.

I've lost contact with pretty much everyone from high school and college, because I was never super close to anyone. I have 3 girlfriends in town that I see about once a month, but it doesn't seem like real friendship. When I am/was struggling with PPD, I never said a word and they didn't either. They just don't seem like people I can lean on. My SIL is a flake. None of my family lives here. My favorite friend is single, childless, and awesome, but she doesn't really understand my life.

Confession: I'm going shopping tomorrow not because I really need anything, but because I sort of crave it.

btartaroind · October 2012

Jmcall... I think you will always miss him to some degree, you shared so much with eachother and he is the father of your baby. I think the key is to not be expecting yourself to forget about him and never miss him, but instead focus on how much better your life has been and will be without him. It's like sometimes when I feel jealous of someone, I think "would I want to trade lives with them?" the answer is always no. Just remember that you wouldn't trade the life you have today for the one you had a month ago. With that sai it's okay and normal to miss the good times!

My FFFC is that I'm really sick and very tired for many reasons, so I let JB cry... no SCREAM, at the top of his lungs, for 15 minutes so I could just lay down. Don't get me wrong I let him CIO sometimes, but this was sobbing. I'm a terrible mother...

I guess what I meant was, what city? I listen to WHYY out of Philadelphia. I know that their programming is different from, say, Detroit. But I think that you might be listening to the classical station - check on NPR.org to see if you have another channel available in your area.

I don't consider PLL "trashy TV", but it IS my guilty pleasure show. My hubs won't admit it, but it's his too.

He picked Aria's name off a list I'd made from TB, but I'm pretty sure that hearing it so much on PLL was a factor in him loving it. (It is a tad strange watching it and hearing them call her Aria now... I'm like "no, that's not Aria... mine is!")

True, PLL is the least trashy thing I watch, but I'm not exactly volunteering this information to people IRL. I can't believe we have to wait until January for another season! I need to know how the eff Caleb got shot?!

I started reading those PLL books right after C was born. They were so freaking scary (even though they are written for middle schoolers) that I would get all creeped out in the middle of the night and have to hide my Kindle under my bed. I used to be able to read Stephen King and not flinch.

My FFFC: I used to love the National Geographic channel, and loved watching nature shows of all kinds, but especially ones about tigers, bears, snakes, etc. Now, when I even hear the music of one of those shows and see a cute little family of gazelles or mice, I just know they are going to get eaten and it literally makes me feel hot and sweaty. My husband was flipping through the channels the other day and left it on NatGeo out of habit and there was a scene with an elephant baby who was stuck in mud and its mom couldn't get it out and was just freaking out and making elephant noises. I started ugly crying and yelling at my husband to TURN. IT. OFF!! It was not my proudest moment. And I wonder if my hormones are ever going to regulate where this kind of stuff doesn't make me sick anymore...I hope it will be better when I stop BF-ing in a few months!
