Mine:
-Since M.Ha brought up the baby name board, I took a detour over there. There were some pretty vomit-inducing choices, but I gotta say, the best part was all those hormonal women giving their opinons. Some favorites were: "You're naming your kid after a rapist. That name should come with an IEP. That's my dog's name." There were so many that were better but I can't remember. I needed the laugh! When I was pregnant Lincoln's name was skewered on MULTIPLE boards but I (obviously) didn't care. Both sets of parents don't like his name either. My mom tried to talk me out of it in the hospital; I told her to go away and not come back for being rude.
-My body is totally and completely turning against me. My hormones are waaaay out of whack. I have a skin disease irritated by hormones and I suspected I was going to have a flare this week. My hair stylist said, "Girl, when is the last time you saw your OB? Your hair is a wreck!" It is literally a grease pit thirty minutes after using the strongest professional clarifying shampoo on the market. My period is showing up every other week or whenever the hell it feels like it, despite being a perfect 28 almost my entire life (with one exception 4 years ago). So, now I am terrified she is going to (again) suggest hormonal BC to help out. I have a blood clotting disorder and my worst fear is dying unexepectedly. @#$!
-Lincoln has been terrorizing my dog. Like, I have to scold him constantly. We are moving soon and I am thinking of letting her stay with my parents. I do NOT believe in giving up animals without just cause, but I also don't believe in allowing animals to be abused just because kids are "kids." With my parents, she is spoiled rotten and adores them, plus I would still get to see her whenever I want. Plus, I would know she was in good hands and could get her back if Lincoln can get with the program. Maybe this should've been a FFFC!

Good for you! You deserve to care for yourself!
1 - Lorax is on Netflix! I have been secretly waiting to watch this movie.. my sister has it, but her house is SO loud that you cant never watch anything there.. P is happily dancing along.
2 - My BMB drives me nuts. It is not even worth it to lurk, let alone post.
3 - I have a stack of about 50 coupons sitting next to me, I am excited to go grocery shopping tonight! Maybe it will be sans husband.. and sans kid.
4 - We went through 3 weeks of bouncing the flu back and forth, severe morning sickness for 2 weeks after that, and I had an insane 20 page final for school. After not taking a paid order in almost 3 months, I AM CAUGHT UP!!!!! Since we rely on my income from this, its been a ROUGH 3 months.. but man.. I was SO behind.
Happy Friday :]
I'm addicted to Goldfish graham snacks. I can eat the whole bag in one sitting if I let mmyself
I haven't showered much this week (maybe a FFFC)
i have the worst behaved dog on the planet....whines, begs, etc., but she's great with DS and she's too cute. Seriously, the only things that save her from being booted. We've tried everything (no abuse, of course) but she just doesn't stop.
I feel like I spend 100 every time I leave the house!
-I went to the grocery store yesterday and just about died when I saw the total come to $100. And that's already the second trip this month! Groceries are ridiculous. The only "junk food" I bought was Swiss Cake Rolls (YUM) for my pregnancy cravings and yogurt-covered raisins for DD to have as "dessert" after lunch. She thinks they are a dessert, and I am happy to let her believe that.
-I have gained way too much weight during this pregnancy but am in denial about it. I blame it on Thanksgiving and Christmas, although it started long before that.
-DD loves the WeeSing movies, and since I've been so exhausted from pregnancy and busy with the move/new house, she has watched more of them recently than I would like. Last night the songs from "Grandpa's Magical Toys" were rolling around my head at 2am when I got up to pee.
I realized the DH and I should have been TTA this month because if I get KU it'll put be due 10 days after BIL's wedding... Maggie was born 9 days before her due date. Eek! Guess we shall see in a couple weeks.
Alice in Wonderland is on Disney JR right now... This movie is trippy. But I'm too lazy to change the channel and should be doing laundry instead anyways!
I had my monthly appointment yesterday. I'm up 14 lbs since last month. Oops. My Dr gave me a side eye, and I can't blame her. Here's to hoping I don't gain so much next month!
Despite the above, I had a burger and poutine for lunch today. Oy!
I could really use a nap right now.
I have a hard time getting to work on time in the morning. The easy solution would be for me to use an alarm clock, but I'm not ready to do that - Right now, I wake up to DD1 coming into my room for morning snuggles - wouldn't trade it for the world
There are 3 girls (1 is me) in my department of 7 at work that have a boy within a year of each other. 2 of us just started this year. But now the other 2 are pregnant again due June and July. While I had the youngest I feel like I should be pregnant. hahaha
I am under a winter weather warning right now, and not at all phased by it or getting home.
Is this a GTKY thread? What about Daylight savings time? Anyone in their pjs?
I wish groceries were this cheap here. It's all in relation to geographical area, but man I would LOVE to spend that little. We don't buy junk either. Fruits, veggies and dairy cost an arm and a leg.
Ba ha ha ha ha!! /dead
My grandmother owns a small store. She sells fresh whole hog sausage. For years my sis and I have helped her when she gets fresh sausage in. This morning we helped roll out some sausage and in talking I found out my Uncle and his family have continuously ran over my grandmother for YEARS and we never knew it. She bounced a check last month (totally not like her) so my dad got online banking for her so he could help watch the account. Since then the truth has been revealed that my uncle/aunt have several loans, CCs and vehicles in her name or with her name attached. So many that if she needed to borrow money she wouldn't be allowed. The worst thing is, she knowingly signed her name to whatever crap they ask her to. She would never tell any of us no, she just doesn't have that in her heart. They took advantage of her and I'm pissed.
I gave Lj diet Mtn Dew today. In my defense, our only other option at that time was black coffee.
We're supposed to have a girls night tomorrow night while dh and a few of his friends go hunting. I honestly want to just stay at home and do nothing. My friends are nagging me though

DH is having a relaxing fishing day and I am chilling with L watching Super Why :-)
Looking forward to Malibu tomorrow.
countrywed wins the Internet today!
I'm sorry - That is really sh!tty of yoru uncle, to say the least.
That thread was like a cyber version of Seinfeld! I remember it all too well.
I can't believe there are people like this, DH's mom is used by her family too. Just this week her Grandson who has only been with her less than a couple of weeks to get a good paying job in the oil boom. He was constantly whining about being behind on his year old pick-up payments but only getting up at 10 or later and not really job searching. She finally gave in and gave him 2500 to hold him over. He cashed it, got the battery she asked for, and was gone before the end of the day. BIL (this kids dad) also has unpayed loans from her.
I hope the best for your grandmother, glad she has you and your sister to help out.
- I am way too excited about my new vacuum. I need to get a life. LOL.
- We are meeting some friends tonight at a local restaurant and brewery for a friend's birthday dinner. I've been looking forward to it all week! We haven't been out like this with friends since...I can't even remember. Maybe six months. And we haven't had a date night since October. This will be some much needed fun for DH and I!
- I really need to straighten up before my parents come over to watch DD. But that would require getting off of the couch...
1) Late to the game, here, and maybe it's more of a FFFC, but I hate most peoples' dogs. I even hate my parents' dog (who we got when I was 16) to a certain extent. I mean, I feel affection for him insofar as I want him to be happy and healthy. But he begs and barks and tears things up and I hate him for that. I guess it's not his fault - he's intelligent (Golden Retriever) and could easily have been trained out of these behaviors a long time ago (he's 9 years old now), but my parents never put a lot of effort into having their dogs trained and they end up being huge pains in the ass.
And now they're talking about getting another dog, when poor Levi is still here and still a pain in the ass and has basically been relegated to the back yard. I really just want to ask them if they're totally nuts, because - let's be honest - they will NOT train their new dog. And, really, if they wanted a model pooch they could spend a fraction of the money it'd cost to get a new dog and put Levi (and themselves!) through a local K-9 Unit trainer who offers training to civilians and their dogs. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks and he'd probably do really well, and then he'd be easy to have indoors.
Oh, and FTR, they want to get a Yorkie or some other such small dog. Which brings me to my next rant...
I hate it when people allow their little dogs to get people complexes, whether it's through lack of training or through spoiling or a combination of the two. I hate little yappy sh!tty dogs who think they run the show. I want to punt them (not that I ever would) and punch their owners square in the face (not that I ever would).
2) I forgot my company operates on CST, and I'm EST. So I got all prepped to start work at 8:30 pm my time, and I'm kind of nervous because I'm new and work from home so I can't just turn to someone for help if I get stuck on a call. But when I clicked Start Work I got a "you are not scheduled at this time" message. And then I realized...it was only 7:30 pm CST. I didn't know whether to be relieved or more stressed out. It's that much longer before this shift is over.
3) I'm a Negative Nancy tonight. Whoops! I'm pleading hormones.
// I love you too. //
