Eh it's early so nothing juicy yet on my mind.
I am jumping on the advocare train after the move. I feel like a whale, hope it works like the pictures I've seen online.
(Told y'all nothing juicy.....yet)

What just happened in my diaper?!
I wear yoga pants most of the weekend. They are comfy and easy when I am chasing/dealing with LO all day.
I ate pizza for both dinner and lunch the past two days.
My only close friends live several hours away at a minimum and I never get to see them. I have one semi-friend here, but she's one of those girls that is friends with everybody and so doesn't have much time. And being that I'm several years older and at a different place in my life (married, baby, not going out drinking every night) I just can't get terribly close to her. And the town we're in is so small there is no mom groups except the la leche league... none... I didn't even know it was possible until I moved here.
I am trying to find a way to not have to work so that I don't have to find a new daycare for Charlie, or a way to keep her in her current one. But with the commute it just isn't going to happen. MH is against it, so it's not going to happen. But I keep hoping...
MH was out of town last night so I got the bed all to myself and it was heaven. It's amazing how the covers are able to stay put all night when there isn't a guy there throwing them around.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Before coming over to see Tumaini, my FIL always stuffs his shirt pocket with crackers or cookies, and when he gets here, he encourages her to go snoop in her pocket and find the snacks. My MIL and him think it's super cute. I, on the other hand, cringe every single time, and get a bad feeling in my stomach. I know it's completely innocent and harmless, but I come from a family where unfortunately sexual abuse on toddlers and young kids is way too common, and I can't get myself to being comfortable with this. It's nothing wrong, I rationally know this, but it really bothers me. I tried talking to my H about it, but he really doesn't get it, and I could never mention it to my in-laws without destroying my relationships with them, but I hate it, and I find myself inviting my FIL less since he has started doing this.

Anyway, I realize it's kind of gross and kind of rude. That's why it's my "confession"... A habit that's not so great, that I'm admitting to with a hint of shame.
I probably won't, though I am genuinely sorry that happened to you.
I certainly hope that I put enough kindness out there to "cancel out" this one bad habit I have, that I do not to be blatantly rude but because I'm honestly afraid of the nasty germs in these nasty bathrooms. Seriously, the bathrooms in this town are disgusting. If I go somewhere where the employees actually take care of the bathroom, I sit on the seat and flush with my shoe.

I'm sorry to be so disappointing and disgusting to you, and apparently many others. I know everyone else here is super perfect, has no gross habits at all or ever does anything someone else might consider rude, so I guess I should have known better than to confess one of my own admitted imperfections and expect acceptance.
And again, I only do it in nasty bathrooms. If I can hold it, I choose not to even use public bathrooms. It's not like I do this on a daily basis.
For anyone keeping score: I'm at the Y right now, and since they actually clean their bathrooms, I sat and flushed.
Again, for everyone, and for the last time: I realize this is not a lovely habit. I'm regret sharing it, and I'm done defending it because honestly, it's not all that defendable. I'm gross I guess. Sorry.
I just wasted an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out all the drama going on on the Parenting board. Sometimes I pop over there when it's slow at work and slow here....not frequently enough to know all the players.
But,TB drama intrigues me.

I am excited that my oldest son most likely will move out to college next fall. I know I will miss him and super worry about him, but I have to admit that I am at the same time sad and happy that he leaves.
It just amazes me how many people feel like their shit doesn't stink, but their homes are worthy of a CPS call.
My confession regarding all of that is, I suppose, I leave things clean wherever I go, whether its in public or my house. How high and mighty of me.
I'll say it for you... Flucking Bubbajug.
Also this seems really random and aggressive.

I have more.
1. I ate a whole bag of Pirate's Booty in one sitting.
2. Sometimes LO's daycare teacher hints that she thinks I let Will off the hook easy (i.e., I will let him keep his binky if he is giving me a hard time...or pretty much give in to him rather easily to avoid a meltdown) and that H is harder with him. It stuck with me for some reason. So yesterday, when I got there to pick him up, Will was sitting on a chair and then got up to stand on it. So I sternly said "NO. Sit on your BUTT." His bottom lip went out and he full out lost it. Crying so, so hard. Pretttty sure his teacher was like "You dick" while looking at me. I cried on the way home, I felt so bad.
3. One morning, just a little after I had woken up, Will grabbed his jacket and wanted to go outside. We had been in from snow and cold weather and were going a little stir crazy, so I was like "OK kid...I hear ya. Let's go". Thinking that we would only be outside for about 5-10 minutes, I just put a jacket and hat on him. No gloves. It was about 18 degrees. He fell a couple times in the snow, but seemed fine. I got to talking to a neighbor and couldn't stop the convo, so we were out much longer than I anticipated. When we finally broke away to come inside, his hands were pink and so cold. I felt like such a jerk. What a dumb, irresponsible thing to do. Flame me. I deserve it.
