Last night I went out to eat with a group of friends from school and I left DH 's car (I was driving his) running in the parking lot for an hour while I was inside!!! How's that for pregnancy brain!?
ETA: it's a push start so I didn't leave the keys in the car. I had the key fob with me and the doors locked as soon as I was 10 feet away from it, but yeah...
The band director picked such horrible music for our christmas concert that I just didn't play one song at all. I sat there and pretended, it was that bad. And I do not feel guilty at all!

Wish I could do that tonight. Is it bad that I'm always happy when Carmen finally dies in the opera??
Also, it's really really hard for me to not correct strangers on the internet when I see blatant grammar/spelling mistakes. The odd auto-correct or off word I don't mind, but when a post is full of them I just want to pull out my red pen and scribble all over it. Some people could really benefit from a basics writing course.

Last night I went to Taco Bell and I saw the sweetest thing that made me feel like a horrible human being!! Generally, I ignore the people standing on the roadside with their "need food/money" signs. I've been approached by THE SAME man with the SAME STORY numerous times in a parking lot pleading for "gas money"...Im just not a very compassionate person I guess. But as I was sitting in the drive thru line, the car in front of me got his food. Just past the pick up window was a man sitting on the ground with his "need food/money" sign. After the car picked up his food, he stopped in front of the man and handed him his entire order, drink and all. And then left without any food. The possibly homeless man looked so grateful, got up and went over to a bus shelter to eat his food. And this made me realize - I should probably have more compassion for some people on hard times. Because if it had been my ahead of this other car, I highly doubt I would have done the same...I probably would have taken my meal and drove off, not even glancing at the homeless man. Sooo, my confession today is that I am a horrible, UNcompassionate person...but i'm gonna work on it!
Also, @BiggerinRealLife I have taken numerous writing courses...and I still have a very poor understanding of the use of a comma
I have two! Yesterday my MIL came to my house, with no call or previous arrangement trying to just walk in without knocking (for the millionth time! It's my pet peeve) ... I got in the habit of locking my front door to avoid this... And yesterday I pretended I wasn't home even though my car was in the front. I don't feel guilty one bit!
My other one is, on Wed. I left the kids with DH because they were driving me crazy. I had full intentions of going to my friends for some chill time and instead drove 20 min out of my way to Jimmy Johns and then to Cold Stone for cake batter ice cream! It was SO nice eating alone in my car. Lol
We finally put out our Halloween decorations and we have a big skull that blows up and and lights up for the front lawn. DS is terrified of it. I'm thinking of keeping it out year 'round to keep him in line. "Better straighten up or skull man will be sleeping in your room tonight"

It just shows how awful my part was - I'm the only one on it and I can still not play and not be noticed!
i was late to work because my hubs wanted to "ravish" me (his words not mine) and it was awesome! and then when I got to work, I said that i was just feeling sick this morning due to baby and the boss didn' make me fill out a leave form or make up time hahaha (it was only 30mins)

I'm starting to seriously judge people who think that the 20 week anatomy scan is just for finding out the sex of the baby. I get that those that are finding out what they are having are excited (myself included) but this is a diagnostic tool to make sure that your baby is healthy and developing normally, finding out the sex is a bonus.
Maybe I'm just jaded since I was give scary news at my anatomy scan with my first pregnancy.

I am 15 weeks and this pregnancy is still not real to me yet. I haven't had any dreams about the baby I haven't pictured the baby home with us. I don't know what's worn with me. I'm still really scared it could go south at any minute. Sometimes Im really skeptical of anything good happening.. Like ok this is too good to be true something has to go wrong.

This makes me mean and it's probably more of a UO, but I'm starting to get tired of the "here's my super early ultrasound pic, now tell me if it's a boy or girl internet people" posts. If the tech can't tell, neither can we--sorry! I feel myself wanting to leave snarky comments on the post even when I know it's someone who rarely posts and I would probably hurt their feelings.
Also, I totally agree with @thomas930. The A/S or any ultrasound is not a photo session solely for your enjoyment (unless you paid for a fancy boutique us), dammit!
I'm starting to feel that way about those posts too, where is everyone's patience!!
We are doing an elective scan and finding out at 17 weeks so that way I can focus at the anatomy scan, and I also wanted my kids there when we find out the sex. I am way excited to know what's baking in there but if it weren't for wanting my kids there I would just wait until my anatomy scan.

@eme050 HEY!!! I haven't seen a post from you in a while, happy to see one today. Hope all is well for you and congrats on finding out you're having a girl!
On Wednesday, I knew DD was going to poop before we got to school (she told me), but instead of changing her, I pretended I didn't notice and dropped her off as normal. Sorry teachers!
I just made DD a turkey corndog for lunch because I know she'll pick the hotdog part out of it and leave all the breading...which I will subsequently devour.

My husband did this a couple weeks ago. I don't know about your DD but my DS takes forever to completely poop. DS started right as he put him in the car and they were running late. When I picked him up his teacher said "I was really surprised to see he came in a dirty diaper". I just acted surprised that he had pooped.

LOL I was totally going to post and ask if it was my poor grammar upsetting her!
Thought of another one... My MIL and I get along but she annoys the crap out of me. One of my passive-aggressive ways of dealing with my annoyance is to assign her the more practical items or the toys I know DD will like but not LOVE when making DD's holiday / birthday wish list. Kind of a dick move, but...
I don't like to help people pick baby names on the bump or in real life. Some of my friends ask for my opinion, but what they really want is validation of their own decisions.
My day got ruined by my car being an asshole this morning. I came home and put on sweatpants and climbed back into bed. I have no intention to get out of bed for the rest of the day.

My car was jerk this morning, too, but ended up working in the end so here I am at work. Definitely sucks about your car, but I'm jealous about the sweatpants and bed.
We are cooking a big dinner for my extended family tonight. I'm really excited to see my dad and brothers because it's been a while. I'm secretly so happy that my youngest brother and his family can't make it. He has 3 young boys and when everyone is in the house together it gets so crazy. They get DS so amped up and it drives me crazy. Now it will be a nice relaxing dinner.

The only thing I don't like is when SO grabs my belly. It's sensitive and hurts! Otherwise touch away. All my preschoolers like to touch it too.

I'm still in bed, the only thing motivating me to go downstairs is a toasted PB&J
Because I need to run out and get the stuff to make these. Oh em gee.
