Thank you for spelling that out for me @NotSharknado. I couldn't figure out what bating suit was on my own. But then I LOLd when the light finally came on.

Last night, after all of the talk of jiggly asses, I decided to try to see what my ass looks like when I walk.
I took the full length mirror off of the closet and leaned it against the door to the room (so I would have some room to walk), took my pants off and looked over my shoulder to see how much my ass jiggles as I walk.
All was going swimmingly until I had the misfortune of steping on one of DD's bristle blocks (not as painful as stepping on a lego, but still hurts). That made me lose my balance and I fell. I broke the fall with my forearm/ elbow and now I have a carpet burn and a bruise on my arm.
The confession is that since I didn't really get a good enough read on how jiggly my ass is, I plan to re-do the experiment in the hallway tonight where there is less chance of me hurting myself and more room to walk.

I'm off today because my mom, who watches L, had to take my dad for chemo today.
I really kind of wish I was at work. It is easier there. I don't have to feel guilty about all the housework I'm not getting done, or that I'm not being a good enough mother/entertaining enough for my kid.
I had planned to get out of the house today but it is so miserable out with all this rain that I've lost all motivation for that. I know it would probably make me feel better, but I just want to sit on the sofa and do nothing now, except maybe cry.
My kid is almost 9 months. In the past week, I have worn my "belly band" (those over the hip things you wear to keep your prego belly from popping out of too small non-maternity clothes) twice. I couldn't find a slip for under a dress the first time, and the second, I wore it as cleavage coverage under a low neckline at school. Resourcefulness FTW?
I've worn my belly band as a bandeau under low cut tops too.
I'm babysitting my sister's kids overnight tomorrow night so that her & her husband can have a date night/night off. I am pretty much their only option for any kind of overnight care, & I usually don't mind, but she has 4 kids, I have 3 plus 30 weeks pregnant. I'm just not feeling it. Does it make me an absolutely horrible sister/aunt to sorta kinda wish that one of her kids will start random puking/fever so that their date night is canceled?
It does, doesn't it? Kinda feel bad even typing it.....
I am wearing a maxi dress at work today. And Spanx. But I also have on a tank top under the dress because it is low cut and work ain't ready for these titties. I feel like I am in high school. I also have in sandals. They are my signature ones I have worn forever but I still wearing floppy sandals at work.
I wore shorts to work today. My new job is the best.
Also I really want to bring back OOTD threads now that I can wear cute outfits to work instead of suits and hose.

1.) My ass is gonna jiggle whether I'm a size 5 or a size 12 and I refuse to give up going commando so haters can suck it #bigbootyjudy problems
2.) Bristle blocks are the bane of my existence right now. Those fuckers bring me to my knees every single time. I always step on it in the middle of my arch and my knee immediately gives out.
ETA: I look like this:
I'm dying. That's exactly what I did last night!

I need someone to fangirl Coheed and Cambria with me.
I haven't heard them in forever. There are only a few songs that I know. In like 2006 a client burnt some to a cd because he thought I would like them. I don't have any of my old CDs so I haven't listened to them in years.
I loved the Good Apollo album but then forgot about them for a while. I did have Cambria on my baby name list though because of this band. #FFFC
After I blow my nose, I'll fold the tissue up and then wipe water off the bathroom counter with it and sometimes crumbs in the kitchen. I figure that side isn't contaminated and why waste it. Economical or epically gross? I do a proper cleaning of these surfaces weekly btw.
I got pretty excited the other day by a new poster who happens to also be a widow. After hanging around here since 2011 (I think?), the last year has been pretty rough for me trying to find people close in age that I relate to. I hope she keeps posting. I looked at local meet up groups yesterday and the 2 next get togethers were at a senior center and a colonics center. I think I'll pass on the colonics.

I think this is gross. Maybe not epically gross, but how do you know some little snot particles didn't get through to the other side of the tissue? And you only do a proper cleaning of your kitchen counter weekly?
I will sometimes use TP to blow my nose, and I'll fold it and then re-blow and then wash my hands afterwards. Or sometimes I will tear a tissue in half and leave the unused half in the tissue box for later.
I have to say that even though a my of my friendship problems over the last 8 months have been caused by shewhoshallnotbenamed, I am still really regretful. I alienated people I was really close to and I missed out on being friends with people that it turns out I genuinely like. Everyone has been super understanding but it still hurts to know what was damaged. And I don't think it's fair to blame all of the issues I had on her.
I feel the same way. I feel that, while it was perpetuated by her, I still need to own how I dealt with it as well.
Last night my DD wouldn't go inside when it was time for bath. A police car pulled up to my neighbors house and I said, uh-oh we really have to go inside because we would get in trouble if we didn't. I was sad my lie didn't work.
I am so clueless about all the drama that happened and I tried to keep up but I couldn't but I am sorry. It seemed awful.
But now that a lot of people are popping back up (of whom I admittedly only know a couple) I keep wondering "how do we know that this is the REAL OriginalScreennameWithANewName and not an opportunistic imposter?!?"
I'm paranoid.
Ha. Believe me, I don't blame you for the paranoia.
I am friends with a few people outside FB and have been prior my gbcb. So, obviously, the return has been discussed and verified elsewhere. If that makes sense.
This goes for pretty much all the other old posters/new screennames.
I will say this though.... I'm straight up nervous that she's essentially not been heard from since this all went down. I'm bracing for/expecting some serious shit storm. I don't think she has any power, but I also know that she doesn't concede to really being wrong, just "having her hand in too many pots".
So... yeah... I think Dolores will ride again because she's a BSC sociopath.
Oh yes. I don't think she is done. And that is scary considering what we've seen others come back and do.
I go back to the doctor for my 6-ish week appointment soon. DH will probably half-seriously suggest a quickie in the back seat of his car before we pick up the kids (because he's so awesome that he takes off at work to be at doctor appointments with me... maybe that's another FFFC in itself). I'll half-seriously agree to the quickie, and we'll probably go for it like teenagers.
Last night I made a stop to GNC so I could pick up a can of protein powder. The sales associate was REALLY, REALLY hot, and he somehow talked me into buying an extra $80 worth of shit I don't need. I walked out of there in a daze, and was like "WTF just happened here?"
Also I liked the feeling of getting my last tattoo, but it was in a place I hear doesn't hurt as much anyways.
@justaphase where is it? I want one in the least painful place possible.

There’s a lightningin your eyes I can't deny Then there’s me inside a sinkingboat running out of time Without you I'll never make it out alive But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright
I'm just really sad for everyone that this effected. Frankly, I'm shocked at how many people this has messed with and all the people coming back.
I can't believe one person could do all that.
At first, it was just kind of mesmerizing to watch it all.
Seeing the fall-out (all the old regs coming back) and the complete 180 of how you guys felt about her made it more real. Like, this really happened and people have been hurt.
just wanted to say that the majority of people on here would not even think to do anything like this. At least, I think and hope. It's just so far outside the norm and I hope that everyone will be able to heal and this will fade away and be just a memory with no more impact in your lives.
I am really, seriously, totally over nursing. The entire time DD nurses, I am screaming in my head "getoffgetoffgetOFFFFFFF" and clenching my teeth. She is still super attached. I've gotten her down to like 2 minutes before nap and bedtime.
And yet, when she skips one of those part of me goes "Oh my gawd my behbeh is getting so big, I'm not ready for this!" No matter how sad though, the next time she nurses I want to fucking scream. So conflicted.
This is how I felt in the last weeks of nursing DD. It was pure torture. Finally I just stopped letting her because I couldn't stand it because it was driving me crazy. I realized that when she was nursing, it was just because she was tired. It worked just the same to sit and rock her to give her the comfort she needed. And she was about to turn 3 so... ">
I think you're awesome and would gtg with you or FB you anytime. I was reorganizing my kitchen the other day and thinking to myself "wwmd?" (What would mbenny do?).
@justAphase and @mrebecca thanks. I am just having a really hard time with it right now. I feel like a jerk for telling her no, and even a few minutes of nursing helps get her to sleep faster but it flat up raises my hackles at this point. I'm nervous that when #2 shows up in September I'll still feel this way, ugh.
@mbenit4 it was super sweet in the beginning and I absolutely loved it. But omg, she is almost 2.5, make with the weaning, kid!
Omg @TheEmpireNeedsYou. I'm mobile so don't see sigs. I "forgot" you were pregnant and nursing.
I did this and lasted first trimester only. I had this exact same reaction and felt horrible about it. It's a normal feeling I think. Google it. A lot of women feel that way.
I didn't want to remember feeling that way with her and more importantly she could tell I was hating it. So we stopped.
Pick up adventures in tandem nursing if you haven't or I can ship it to you.
I am just saying that I was internally asking all the same questions as I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening. Since I didn't see it go down, it took longer to process and connect dots.
I was all "but, what about this"...read some more, asked some people..."ohhh. I get it now"
I figured/hoped that DD would stop nursing because of change in taste of my milk (or something). But she didn't. I would have been about 5 months pregnant when we weaned.
Everybody was like, "OMG, finally!!1!" and I was like, "Suck it! But not my boobs."
I haven't washed my face in at least 6 months. I wipe it with a wash cloth in the shower, but I don't use cleanser.
My skin is like a delicate hothouse flower.
Unable to even.
