Get 'er started.

My kid is sleeping. I'm awake.

Our friend texted me that their LO has had diarrhea for 10 days. I am pretty sure we gave it to them

I realized I know none of the ttc lingo and acronyms since we were never ttc. POAS is pretty much all I got.

Lame.

Bighair12 · September 2013

I am leaving town today until Monday. MH is taking LO to his parents. I am terrified they are going to get her off schedule.

MrsKipper · September 2013

I bought a pair of jeans at Old Navy this weekend that I can't button because they're about a size too small. I either use the hair tie trick or my Bella band with them. They were $7.50! I mean, honestly, I couldn't pass that up!

Last weekend we took the kids to an amusement park. While the boys were eating cotton candy, DD was curious. I tore of a small bite and (GASP!) let her try it!

Apparently all the fresh fruits and veggies she gets daily is completely negated by one bite of sweet sugary goodness.

Says who?

The coworker who clutched her pearls when I was telling the story (the look on DD face when she tasted it was PRICELESS).

Somewhat ironic because she is the queen of stouffers frozen dinners. No judgement from me on that - just funny.

I don't have drunk sex because alcohol makes my lady parts go numb.

When I tip at a restaurant my bill always has to come out equal. So if my bill is 21.40 I tip 3.60 so it equals $25. I don't know why I do this.

... I'll think of more... maybe

I got two hours of sleep last night and FIL is supposed to stop by at some point today. I'm really tempted to lock the door and pretend nobody is home.

Too much MOTN sex?

I'm working on 4 hours and I'm trying to reschedule an afternoon meeting so I can go home and sleep while DS is at daycare. Fucking pinched nerve.

I like the parenting board better. They have less bitter betties and people know how to take a fucking joke there.

I want to try Parenting but evertime I head over there I just lurk and never get the guts intro.

Plus also I am so unproductive at work as it is....

1fish2fish · September 2013

In the past two weeks, my brother has OD'd, my (young) aunt had a MS attack and was in the ICU, my husband got electrocuted and fell off an 8 foot platform, Max had a double ear infection, and I pinched a nerve in my neck three weeks ago and the pain is still fresh.

I don't normally believe in karma, but damn, I must've put a bee in the universe's bonnet.

I am rolling off my project in 2 months and my productivity is going down every day...I lurk on several boards, but never intro. I want to jump in all the time.

DH has a potential job opportunity across the country. I'm pushing for him to accept if he is offered. I'm selling it as an opportunity for adventure, when in reality I just want to be further away from my ILs.

AlinnJo · September 2013

I'm not having alcohol at LO's party just out of spite towards my MIL. I'm hoping she won't stay as long if she doesn't have a drink. However, my plan will be foiled if she brings her own.

That's why I keep a bottle of booze in my car!! Just kidding of couse...I hope you MIL is on her best behavior for Quinn's party!

icedcoffeeluv · September 2013

My cousins bachelorette party is on my birthday. I am so torn on how I feel about this.

I am so excited because it is going to be a blast. I am so sad I won't be spending my birthday with the girls. I am also excited to be having a "me" day though because we are getting pedis and having a nice lunch and going out for the night and staying in a hotel.

So I took the Friday before and Monday after off work to make up for it.

Holy shit! I hope they are all ok. Would you like some money for a carseat? too soon?

Everyone's doing okay. My brother, well, that's an ongoing thing, obviously. In lieu of a car seat, I'd like the copays for some muscle relaxers and some Vicodin. And maybe a 90 minute deep tissue massage.

Thank you- I appreciate the kind words. Fingers crossed!

I feel like I'm much bitchier on A14, but I can't help it because that board is struggling getting their act together....plus, there are a lot unnecessary coddling that I just can't handle...I need to cool my jets.

Holy crap! That's awful. Hope things get better soon.

icedcoffeeluv · September 2013

To follow up my other confession. If I am staying in a hotel overnight I can't party hard because I would rather get a good night of sleep than lay there with the spins. If I am home with the girls I can't party hard because I have to get up early.

I never party anymore.

eshee8198 · September 2013

I think I'm going to take DD off her antibiotics before they're done. Her fever had already broken by the time they prescribed it, the first scrip made her vomit and the second is giving her explosive diarrhea (even with the probiotics). She's miserable, and she has a doctor's appt on Monday anyway so they'll recheck her then.

but mostly I just want her to have a good day on her birthday.

I'm really torn though.

MrsKipper · September 2013

@eshee8198 I'm no doctor or nurse but I'm pretty certain that antibiotics don't fully work unless the whole course is taken. I'm sorry about the crappy side effects!

willy_gert · September 2013

I'm mad at my husband for not taking care of himself and putting our family in this position of dealing with life and death. I will never tell him that I am angry and I am working really hard to get over it, but right at this moment, I am pissed off.

Non Heavy FFFC -

When I was a kid, I didn't know Kermit the Frog was a puppet and I wanted to marry him! I loathed Miss Piggy because she chased him so hard and he was mine!

That's a normal stage of grief. Grief is not only something you deal with when someone dies, but it is applicable in your situation as well.

Again, sorry you're going through all this.

Thanks and btw, yesterday I really wasn't trying to make it about me, sorry if it came off that way.

I know. She's been on it for 8 days and they want her on it for 10. I know some people treat ear infections with garlic oil instead of antibiotics, but I don't know if it's too late because we already started the drugs.

If there are only 2 days left then I would just finish it out. Whatever you decide to do I would recommend that you consult her doctor's office first! Just my two cents!

Same. finish the dose. If you end early it may come back and you'll be stuck with a whole nother 10 day script.

you know I don't want you guys to be right.

KKSBeans · September 2013

This may be more of a UO, but dammit I never get to participate !

I hate when people ask for money. The economy blows and there are hardships everywhere. It took a second to adjust our budget to me going part time. I would be damned if I asked anyone for money.

The only time I am ok with it is a benefit for someone with a very unexpected hardship do to an illness (cancer, accident, etc). A guy I was best friends with in high school was just diagnosed with cancer and they are hosting a benefit for medical expenses because he is a single guy that will be off work for some time between chemo and surgery. I am ok with this and maybe it's just my double standard. Now I like Holly and Mirask and would have felt this way regardless of who it was.

My .02 - if anyone else came on and said "I don't like this board lately, I wish I could just leave" (paraphrasing), you would have said "Then GTFO and don't talk about it."

Definitely finish it out. I have really screwed myself up before not finishing out a course of antibiotics.

I'm sorry she has such a bad reaction.

[Deleted User] · September 2013

Oh, we're doing this again? Yeah, fuck that.

BPer · September 2013

Someone else made an offer on the house I fell in love with last night, after 110 days on the market without a single offer. I'm afraid a bidding war would drive the price up to where it wouldn't be such a steal, and wouldn't really be worth uprooting our lives and moving to another town. I'm embarrassed to say that I cried for hours, and barely slept...over a house.

True story. You definitely don't want to chance her have the ear infection come back and then have to go through another course of antibiotics.

She will be much less happy on her birthday if her ear is bothering her again.

I think people are taking issue with the fact that you've said twice this week that you don't like it here right now and would leave if you weren't a mod. I haven't heard anyone complaining that you are a PW.

I regret planning a huge party for Hannah. September has just been fucking exhausting and I can't wait until it's over.

As much as I don't want you (Lois) to take a break from here (if that's what you're insinuating), I'd rather you not get too burnt out.

I ship Lois and enjoy your presence!

ETA: I just realized I used ship in the wrong context. You catch my drift!
