Mine's lame. I'm getting an iced coffee before work (because, you know, it's a balmy 3C outside) but we have a rep bringing us coffee today... But I want mine NOW and not in 3 hours! I'm totally fine having both.
After looking up Iraq spiders last night I had nightmares about giant termites and giant blue haired spiders and other giant bugs infesting my home. I don't mind bugs or creepy crawlies except for when they are giant or when there's an infestion...
FI and I are in a financial bind...sort of. My grandma passed away on monday so this week I haven't been able to work and he's had to take off for the veiwing and the funeral as well. It sucks because we have a wedding to pay for and need roughly $2000 for wedding related expenses by November and we also need to buy everything for the baby due in august. I've been asking FI for help purchasing these things and he says he'll help and then he doesnt. It's gotten me pretty pissy and I've been snapping at him but I don't want to talk to him about it either because it'll be the same things put of his mouth.
DS1 threw his favorite toy out of the car yesterday (the glow seahorse) We just bought him that one to replace the one he lost in the fire and I really don't want to buy him a new one.
I had said earlier on here I was going to try and make sure ALL of my work was done so that I wouldn't have to leave a lot for my co-workers, but the more I thought of it, I'm doing it so I don't come back to a butt load of work after vacation. Then it dawned on me last night, no matter how much work I do, I will still come back to a butt load and tons of work scattered on my desk. I may or may not really work hard today.
ETA: I will also be looking up mani/pedi colors for tomorrow.
I am seriously done with this year, and this month. Yes, its my birthday and anniversary month, but with all the stuff nationwide, and personally, going on, I think April should just vanish off the calendar.
I start each day in a good mood, and before lunch it is just craptastic.
I really need a drink (like hard liquoer, on the rocks) and a vacation, by myself, away from civilization completely.
All in all, my FFFC can be summed up as: I am antisocial, and dislike the general population.
I have some horrendous days lately. All day, and just rank.
Mine are just loud and vibrating my chair. I am not holding back either. Where has my shame gone?
I share an office with someone else. When I have to fart, I try to hurry up and get out of the office. But sometimes, I can't get out and I have to try and hold it.
I imagine that I look something like this while I'm trying valiantly not to gas my coworker.
I totally played the pregnant lady card the other day at work. Part of a long term sponsorship we have with the Red Sox allows each employee 2 tickets to a game, and I was late in selecting the game I wanted (we had 4 options). The one I wanted was in May, and the events department got back to me to say they were all taken, what was my second choice?
I said it would be too hot and I would be too pregnant to attend the game in July or August.... so she said ok I'll give you the May game.
The other morning I stopped at a donut shop on the way to work. I wanted to get 2 dozen donut holes to take to work for everyone, but they only had 1 dozen left and I bought them. Then I realized that 12 small donut holes would not be enough for 6 adult, so I quickly ate half of them on my way to work (about half a mile from the shop) and shoved the bag in my purse. I ate the remaining half in secret throughout the day.
I hate my Peri. They overbook appts and everyone brings 5 people and it takes hours! BUT I still want to continue to see them bc I get an ultrasound every time.

My office is moving to a temporary location while our City Hall is being renovated. Everyone is busy packing and going through old vault stuff this morning. I walked in, as though I was gonna help, and they totally said, nope! Not good for Ms. Preggo. So while they slave away in the next room, I'm playing around on the bump.
I lost my top retainer...I'm mad and I'm having a bad day already
Is it a clear one? If you lived close to me I would maybe you a new one for free.
Lol it was sparkly blue. It's an old retainer and i didnt wear it as much as I should have but it still angers me that I lost it...i also lost a necklace my FI had custom made for me today as well which really freaking sucks. I'm sure it's around somewhere but I wanted to wear the necklace for my grandma's funeral...I'm a mess today.
I have legit done nothing at work since Wednesday but read the bump and create a baby registry. Oh, except for sneak into the student cafeteria for soft serve and french fries.
I am a waste of life.
This is me as well... My boss has been out all week, but instead of being swamped like I thought, I've had nothing to do. I'm not even at work right now, because my cable and internet are being installed
I had some god awful stomach virus that started wed and finally ended last night. I had absolutely no intentions of doing anything today either, And I'd love to burn another day off, but I'm trying to save up time for after the baby and end of the year.
I'm compromising by not really doing anything and this am. Hoping to have my motivation by noon, when it's supposed to stop raining.
I moved a couple of weeks ago and had to complete the scavenger hunt that the Army calls "inprocessing", basically making sure that all of your accounts for everything from finance to the library are switched to your new location. It was all stupid, but I did it and everyone was happy.
Now I try to inprocess the hospital where I am supposed to work, and they tell me it's going to be a week or two before I can even start working, because my credentials packet has to go before committee, which meets once weekly. My packet didn't make it this week, and the credentials office isn't optimistic about next week either (nevermind that I submitted everything electronically to this hospital before I even left my last one). I cant even get access to the medical computer systems, and I definitely can't interact with patients until my credentials are approved.
Anywho, I am basically worthless and can't do anything right now. I have been filling my days with busyness, stopping in and meeting people, etc., but there's really not much for me to do.
FFFC: I don't think I'm even going to go in and pretend today. No one will know/care whether I show up or not, and it puts me in a bad mood when I float around trying not to feel like a worthless waste of space.
I do, however, like where everyone's mind is at with the donuts. If only the husband weren't working from home today and I could have them without guilt...
Because of the donut talk in this thread I made up a lie about bringing my H our daycare check so I could actually go to the store right next door to his office and get donuts. I ate two of them.
I get seriously annoyed with obsessive selfie takers/posters, but I feel like I'm becoming one with HDBD photos. I always end up taking like 20 and then narrowing it down to the one I've best hidden any trace of double chins in.
Speaking of donuts. I have gone through the Dunkin Donuts drive thru every morning this week on my way to work and purchased and eaten 2 donuts. It made me late at least once and I don't even care. But I had my appointment yesterday and my doctor said that a weight jump like I had is 'normal' and not to be concerned. She didn't even tell me how much I gained, so now I'm all paranoid and worried about it. I am still eating my 2 donuts today, however.
I have been so worthless at work this whole week (ok, probably longer). It's not my fault it's a slow time right now. So I've just been incredibly lazy and end up sitting on the couch all day watching Netflix. I'm home all day and yet there are still clothes in the dryer from last week and I haven't cleaned the house for 2 weeks. I only feel slightly bad about this.
I also thought the Bruno Mars' song was "young white girls." I actually told DH, "that seems so offensive" and he had to explain it to me.
Yesterday for lunch I picked up food for me and DH. I brought him his food (we work in the same office) but then told him I had to go to my office and eat while I worked because I was so busy. In reality, I wasn't busy, but I bought a cheeseburger to eat and didn't want to eat it in front of him because he would be weirded out. We don't eat beef or pork, ever... but this baby has been craving it, so what am I supposed to do? I ate my cheeseburger with my door closed and it was amazing.

This is me all.day.long. I have old students on FB and Instagram and am over their selfies (I am sure they over seeing babies and kids) but I totally take a million before choosing one for HDBD because I hate my profile.

I totally stalked Daiey Queen until they opened today. And then I got two chili cheese dogs, French fries, and a small chocolate sundae. No shame. It was delicious!
It's my youngest's second birthday today and, the one reason this makes me happy? Cupcakes.
I know what you mean! My youngest turns 2 on Sunday and I'm making the cake today. I'm making an extra big one to make sure there's a lot left over. I love cake!
I have pop every now and again - I just stick to the caffeine free ones, and bonus found out one of my FAVES - A&W Root Beer is caffeine free.
First of all, I LOVE that you said pop!! Second, I had a root beer today and loved that it was caffeine free bc I already had coffee today and didn't want to feel guilty.
@Third&Goal is that what heaven looks like?!? Oh my!
'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
Meh, I have soda pretty much daily. I gave up the diet sodas though, which makes me sad. I drink the sodas for the caffeine. If I don't have a (giant) soda, I have a (giant) sweet tea. I keep it under 200mg caffeine daily, but the sugar adds up fast and my ass is expanding rapidly...
Now all I can think about is donuts. This is worse then when I was obsessed with Cheesy Gordita Crunches from Taco Bell. I am thinking about where I can get a donut on campus for my lunch "supplemental" and then how I can stop at Chic-fil-a on the way home for some chicken tenders. I love that being pregnant exempts me from the no meat fasting. I could totally do vegetarian one day a week, I just don't want to. Now back to getting a donut...
Must. Eat. Donuts.
TTC Since January 2012
Me:37 DH:34 DX July 2013: Unexplained Infertility New DX Dec 2013: DOR
The ridiculous thing is that I only drink it when I have a headache from my neck being out of alignment. Coke combined with Tylenol is my first attempt to feel less shitty before I take any of my allowed Ibuprofen. And it's not like I drink it every day, either. I kinda wanted to say "YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE" to the woman.
And it works 8 times out of 10 to cure the headache, too! So I hear ya. I'm not about to have a headache for the next 8 hrs because people side-eye drinking caffeine.
'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
I am in Hawaii right now with DH. He is at work all day, every day. Instead of spending my days on the beach, or walking around enjoying the views, I have spent the last two days in bed alternating between reading trashy novels and watching trashy tv. My in-laws have DD and all I want to do is sleep.
This weekend I found frozen organic chicken nuggets at my grocery store. I've been struggling with finding a good lunch to eat during the week so figured I'd try them. I have eaten 12-16 chicken nuggets everyday for lunch 4/5 days this work week. I also dip them in either Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce or honey mustard. This amount of sodium can not be good for me. Nor can this amount of fried food since my body is NOT accustomed to much of that on the regular. All of this and I'll still probably buy them again when I go to the store this weekend...

My FFFC: I cuddle more with my preggle pillow than I ever do with DH. It's just so much more comfy and it makes me happy.

And I don't feel bad at all!

Now I feel guilty because my appointment is next week and I should be better about what I'm eating.
I'm compromising by not really doing anything and this am. Hoping to have my motivation by noon, when it's supposed to stop raining.
