I have a ridiculous one.

I like those Smuckers Uncrustables PB&Js.

Before I came a mom I thought, how lazy can you be? You can't make a PB & J sandwich? Well now it's one of my favorite things to take for lunch because I can just throw it in my bag and go. What's the world coming to? :P

For as much as I stick to eating "real" food - meals made from scratch using local produce - I give way too much I my money to Dunkin Donuts. I drop DD off at my parents' house 3 days a week, and since I have her, a diaper bag, my purse, a lunch bag, and my pump bag to lug around, I don't want to add homemade coffee to the mix.

It wouldn't be as bad if I was just getting a coffee, but most of the time I figure if I'm already there I may as well get an egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant, right??

I used to eat fast food maybe once a month, and lately it's more like 2-3 times a week. :-p

The night before last I had a really terrible plugged duct. I was up all night in pain hoping DS would sleep nurse it out since he usually nurses a lot at night, but he would only comfort nurse. Finally at 4 am DS woke up and wouldn't go back down, I passed him off to my mom who happened to be over and started trying to get out the plug via showering, pumping, trying to get DS to nurse. Nothing was working and the pain was excruciating at this point because DS mainly nurses from only this boob, so everything was backed up. Finally I woke DH up crying and told him I needed him to get it out. (I had heard about this solution at a mommy meetup.) Just to make things more awkward he says "Oh titty sucking time?" It hurt so bad I got nauseous, but when he popped off a few minutes later milk was spraying everywhere and I was able to nurse DS back to sleep.

Sorry if that was TMI, but I figured it counts as confession worthy. I hate plugs.

I am technically full time at work. I am supposed to work 4 9's. I take off a lot, and plan to switch of part time in January, but needed my 4 weeks vacation for my maternity leave. Well since I have been back from maternity leave,iv have yet to get a full pay check. I am always taking off or leaving early. I am surprised my work is being so cool about it. I am seriously missing a full day, at least, a pay period (2 weeks.). A ally, I have been promoted and given a good raise and an assistant since I have been back. I must be good at what I do.

DD has a cold, and now I have it too. She's been absolutely miserable for most of the week and nothing I do helps. She doesn't even want to snuggle with me. So every single day, I've been waiting for bedtime and am SO GLAD when it's finally time for her to go to bed. It's the only time I get peace and quiet all day (except for her naps, which have been way too short!).

Lol! I craved those when I was pregnant. I took to them work for breakfast and lunch.

I've been feeling very "what's the point?" this week about getting dressed up and doing hair and makeup. I just feel so gross everyday because DS is drooling all over me, flinging his food on me, getting pee and poop and vomit on me....its just gross and its hard to want to get motivated to care about my appearance.

Mine is similar. I work full-time. I leave the house at 6:45 and get back around 4. While I am excited to see DS at the end of the day, I still count the 2.5 hours to bedtime during the week. I am so tired by then, and so is he and has been mostly dropping his third nap. Some days work out well, and some days he gets up a little too early from the 2nd nap, but it's too late in the evening to really try a third nap so he's super fussy in that last 45 minutes before bed. I feel so guilty because I feel like I should be running home to snuggle and play with him. And the weekends are like that, and I relish the time to move at our own pace and devote all my energy to him. But during the week I am mostly just wiped and looking forward to the evenings to myself.

I understand that feeling too. I bolt out of school when the buses leave so I can go get DS from day care, and even though I'm so psyched to see him, I get equally psyched when he goes to bed because 7-9:30 (when I go to bed) is actually relaxing time!!

I feel you. Both mine are really sick, and shared. I am not fully convinced we do not have a mild version of the flu. But I definite Y just put them both to bed over an hour before bedtime. We have slept well all week, dd didn't nap and DS took two crappy short naps. And dh has been working 6-7 days a week for a few weeks (covering for a coworker with a parent in hospice, so this is continuing indefinitely) so he is very little help, and I feel obligated to let him sleep while I do it all.

Mine is that I have a mom-crush. There's this other mom I know that I really want to be better friends with. She's soooooo cool, but I don't know if she likes me as much as I like her. Haha! I feel like I'm in middle school again with a crush on a boy.

Never heard of it. What's it about?
Playing on that, I started watching Sister Wives on Netflix and OMG I am hooked. I can't get enough of that show. I think about it at work and how I want to go home and hopefully baby is asleep so I can veg on the couch and watch it. If I didn't have jealous tendencies I would totally want sister wives.

A late FFFC: The cousin I posted about several weeks ago who was having severe swelling around 30w? And I told her to watch her BP and her mom freaked out and posted a nasty message about me on FB? Well... she's now 39w3d and was admitted to the hospital for high BP and protein in her urine. They're not calling it pre-e yet, but she's being induced today.

I wish it wouldn't have happened to her and that she could have just gone into labor on her own, but it makes me want to dance an "I told you so" jive around her mom. It is not fear-mongering to tell a severely swollen pregnant woman (and there were pics on FB that I cannot erase from my memory. It was bad swelling.) to watch her BP, especially because there is pre-e in the family.

It's about 3 princes from overseas who move to Texas to meet women who will like them for who they are an not their status. But it's completely hilarious because you can dress them up like commoners, but you can't take the royal snobbery out of them.

My first fffc is that I'm finding myself enjoying nursery rhymes. Probably more than dd.
