I take my anger out on flies. We have so many and I hate them so much. When I go fly hunting in my kitchen I get way to worked up and curse when I kill them. I sound like a crazy serial killer. But seriously I kill one and ten more appear 5 minutes later. I used Bennett's target gift card to buy the new Nicholas Sparks book I had been refusing to buy for 20 bucks.

After your confession and Holly's I feel much better about using Bennett's g/c from Walmart for curtains. No spend October meant drastic measures! Like the kid needs more toys. My living room needs curtains!

OK, someone school me. What is yolo?

Until @MrsKipper defined, it I didn't know either. In fact, I kind of thought it was in reference to something at FroYo or @cheeseandrice's Lo. It really depends on the context it's used in to determine my definition de jour.

Haha.. I think it was coined from the rapper Drake. One of his songs.

I hate that I am such a big baby. I really want to watch the new season of American Horror Story, but I don't think it's a good idea. My husband works nights - he's gone 4 nights a week. I will sleep even worse than I already do and have a heart attack with every little noise.

This is me exactly. I did watch it this week because my husband is home on vacation all week though. He works nights Sun-Wed though and I am always nervous at night at it is.

We recorded this and I am too scared to watch it.

DH and I watch it on demand together once a week (one week late). The first season gave me nightmares but I don't care, I love having a little "thing" together.

I LOVED the first season. I didn't watch the second because that's when he went to nights. Dammit.

For starters I never comment on FFFC because it gets crazy long before 10am. But I have a couple this morning. DD has seen way too many episodes of Criminal Minds because I'm usually off on Mondays and it marathons all day so it's often on in the background. Half the time neither of us are watching it, it's just on.
DH & I plan to TTC starting in April. He even has a countdown on his phone. But my best friend is having a huge bar crawl celebration when she graduates with her Masters in late-May. It's out of town, it's a great college town that I love and it has super cheap bars. I've decided that would be our first weekend away from DD and I plan to be wasted...which means pushing TTCing back until June. I feel bad for pushing back our family planning for a weekend of crazy fun. However I'm really looking forward to a wild weekend away.

Stuck in quote box** That's sweet that he has a countdown in his phone! I would love to get away for a wild weekend.

I have to veto so many cute pictures of DD to post because of nipples. DH is always shirtless and his nipples always seem to make an appearance in pictures. Sometimes I still post them, but I try to not post his nipples all day every day.

I crop DH's nipples out of pictures with DD. It doesn't help that his nipples are pierced, and I'm sure that would scandalize some of the people I know. And for the record, it doesn't look nearly as girly as it sounds.

I can't imagine my DH walking around the house with his shirt off. It's not gross or anything...but it's so foreign to me. I don't think I'd like it.

I love it. For one, I think he's pretty sexy shirtless, and for two, it beats the alternative of stinky work shirts and godawful tank tops. But my other FFFC is that when we started dating, I thought it was cool to wear crop tops, and he was pretty much shirtless everywhere. Sigh, the 90s.

Liam is still on the bottle. I can't find a sippy cup that he actually will use without throwing. I HATE the throwing stages. He throws everything. His food, his cups, anything he picks up and we can say no until we are blue in the face.

It is driving me up the wall.

Jasper still gets a nighttime bottle.

Have you tried a Camelbak?? We have thrown out sippys and use only those! He still throws them, but they will. not. leak.

It's glorious.

Women have to wear skirts or dresses with nylons or tights. My new job is assistant controller of a department store. I guess they are just conservative.

No.. but I will look into it. He won't tip his bottle/sippies back so we have to use straws or were SOL. Thanks!

Nora loves things with straws. Her favorite cup is the big one I got from the hospital when I delivered.

That is Liam's favorite too. He likes to take the straw and push it in and out because its ribbed and makes noise.

DH leaves Sunday for a business trip, and I feel like I have to psych myself up for 2 weeks as a single parent. I know this makes me a really big whiner considering the number of people who are always single parents or who have a spouse deployed or whatever.

H gets home tonight after being gone for a week. I thought I'd lose a bunch of weight while he was gone, because he's a bad influence...but I gained weight. Stress eating sucks. I literally just inhaled a bagel with ham, egg & cheese.

Nope. Every time DH goes on orders (Navy Reserve) I dread it. And he's never gone more than two weeks. It sucks.

Uline is in either very northern Illinois or very southern Wisconsin and it's like that. If you don't wear a skirt or a conservative dress to your interview, chances are you will not get hired. They're also very strict on wearing anything "expressive" including bright nail polish. My friend's Mom has worked there for the last few years. It sounds weird to me.

I really really really want to get pregnant, but we have so much going on in the next year, all of which would really suck while PG. A week in the Bahamas, a week in New Orleans attending swanky parties, 2 Florida vacations, and SIX freaking weddings, yes SIX. There may even be a 7th, because one of H's groomsmen just got engaged.

I keep telling myself that there will never be a 'perfect' time to get pregnant again. H says he'll tell our next child how I planned his/her conception around any event involving drinking.

I bought my own syrup so I can make flavored redbulls.

Not sure thats a confession but it probably means I will be drinking too many redbulls.
I bought a few syrups so I can make my own cheapass lattes.

Not sure why I didn't think of this. I always wondered what people did with the butterscotch, vanilla, etc syrups. Duh.

Samesies. We aren't TTC until during/after our long trip in December-January. DH wants his party wife.... and TBH I want to let my hair down before I get back on that horse..so to speak.

Why would it be illegal? It is just like any other workplace having a dress code. It is just a little more strict/conservative than most places. Weird? Kind of but it doesn't really bother me. There are some really cute outfits I found on pinterest.

My friend works for an accounting firm. She had to wear a skirt and panty hose. I know for our business, as long as the dress requirements are made known before hiring it is fine.

We went to 4 weddings last time I was PG. We have 4 more coming up in the near future. In between? ONE. One wedding and they didn't even have an open bar. WTF?

Hyaline · October 2013

I just found a job I was super psyched to apply for, then realized it was not at the location I thought it was and is outside my doable commute zone. I am irrationally upset about this and just threw a stick of butter (yes, butter). In front of DD who looked at me like I was nuts. I probably am nuts.

I think I must be PMSing.

Also, I'm sitting in an orientation right now and there's a kid here with his Mom. The kid keeps sighing loudly and whining to her that he's bored. Dude. This is for Y O U R education, not your Mom's. I'm so glad he's a building trades student and not one of mine. I'd have an attitude with him, I just know it.

I was KU during the last superbowl my team won. H had bought me a Victor Cruz jersey in a 'small', which barely fit me because I was so damn bloated.

@LuvSD, while I do think only skirts or dresses is more conservative than the norm, if you are okay with it than cool. (I dislike skirts) Check out Slavation Army or Goodwill. I got 5 new outfits for $40, not skirts, but dress pants and blouses.

Skirts are definitely NMS either, however, if I have to wear them in order to leave my current position I will gladly wear anything they want me to.

I can relate to this all too well since I work in higher ed. Some of the kids' attitudes are disgusting.

I guess the part about having a separate dress code for women vs. men. I can see requiring business slacks, dresses, or skirts, but I can't even imagine being told I can't wear pants.

Do it. Get PG with me and be my labor buddy.

I O'd earlier this week while H was gone.

CD1 is scheduled for the 19th, so there's still hope for the end of the month! (I have 24 day cycles, so I O early)

Oh I have another, if Freaking love 'Peg + Cat' on PBS, I have changed the flow of our mornings so I can watch part of it. DD has yet to look at the TV.

I hate this show. I constantly have the music stuck in my head "Cheese and pickles, pickles and cheese gimme gimme gimme that sandwich please!" and because the background is graphing paper. Why? I'm irrationally annoyed by it. But-- I initially hated Cat in the Hat...and now it's one of my favs.

I always sing "Here we go go go go on an adventure" as I'm putting them in their car seats.
