My mother is coming to visit today for the weekend and I am dreading it. I wish I was one of those people who has a good relationship with their mom, but I am not. I am jealous of people who do. Long story, but she is pretty much a train wreck and a nut job who doesn't really care about anyone but herself. After thirty some years of her nonsense, I have pretty much zero tolerance for it. I don't like the person I turn into when she is around either, so it is best all around that she lives halfway across the country from us. If anything, I guess being around her reminds of the kind of mother I do NOT want to be. Wish me luck...
My DDS isn't really flame worth at least in my opinion.
I hate the uncertainty of the future. I know I have control over what happens, over most things at least. I hate knowing what I need to do, but not being at the point of actually being able to do it, wither it's because of fear or not having the right "tools". And I'm going to leave it at that, like one of those mystrous FB posts that leave people hanging. LOL

@jac409 - Good luck. That sounds like my mother too, and I'm kind of glad that I only see her twice a year (yes, I know that sounds bad).
Mine is that I'm sort of relieved that we're having another girl. I know that DH was sort of hoping for a boy, but I'm glad. I'm hoping that they can be involved in some of the same activities, we'll be able to use the same clothes (at least until #2 is old enough to want new stuff of her own), etc.
I often tell my husband that my and DD2's day was "terrible", "awful", and/or "unspeakably bad" even when it's been OK. I don't want the incriminating look of "then why didn't you do something around the house or make dinner" if I tell him that our day was just fine. Or to have to deal with him thinking it's a cake walk to take care of a 2 month old. He tends to not pull his weight unless he thinks I'm struggling.
I ate two sausage egg and cheese mcgriddles and then felt really sick after. I really should not be eating like that but sometimes it's just calling my name.
I got the milk out of the fridge when I got home from work last night (at midnight) and forgot to put it back. When DH got up for work this morning at 4:30 he thought he had left it out and told me he'd stop at the store on his way home from work and get more. I didn't tell him it was my fault because I didn't want to have to make a special trip.

I also like spam and would definitely eat a musubi. I used to cook spam with pineapple and brown sugar and eat it with rice. However, DH refuses to eat it.
Every time SO brings home cookie dough ice cream, which isn't often, I sit down and eat all the little cookie dough's from it and don't tell him. Surprisingly he doesn't seem to notice.
I let my LO think it is peanut butter in the jar & that I am eating a spoonful of it. It is actually cookie butter.
We let LO believe our cookies are crackers & when she sees us eating one, she believes it is a cracker, which she asks for and recieves. Fortunatly they look enough alike.

@SingleMom31 It is basically cookies that have been smashed, mixed with oils to turn it into a smooth spread. I had never heard of it before some students brought it up when O assigned an edible project ... have only seen it at Trader Joes (just under $4/container at my store, and they have 3 varieties - regular, chunky, or swirled with chocolate), and Costco has another brand- Biscoff's. Amazon sells all of them. Have yet to find them elsewhere. I have decided to do a side by side taste test with my mom's group this summer at a playdate.
So far we have gone through a jar of Costco's one: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005IZHXGG/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?qid=1400336079&sr=8-14&pi=SL75 which was good (acquired taste - is addicting). Evidently they also make a chunky and there is now another brand that usea "cookie dough flavor" whatever that means.
We have tried TJs chunky one (I like the chunks but not so much the texture which was very shortening like... but that was just a first spoonful from the jar and it took a bit for the Biscoff to grow on me). TJs was giving out samples of the chocolate swirl yesterday.
Biscoff spread is awesome! Crap, now I might have to find an excuse to go to Target and get a jar. All this talk of cookie spread is making me want some!
