It's that time of week again!

Mine is: sometimes when things are slow here, I lurk all the other BMBs and vote on all the clicky polls that I can find.

I totally lurked the Dec 2014 UO yesterday, apparently those ladies love their marijuana. It was someone's UO that they hated it and everyone was all over her.

It's so much better then alcohol! But I also live in Mary Jane capital.

I don't smoke now, but I used to and it helped me gain weight.

We're trying to help pass laws in nc to make it legal for medical purposes.

Also my husbands snoring is out of control and normally I just push him and he will roll over but in the middle of the night DD came into our bed and I couldn't reach him anymore. So I kept taking my pillow and smacking him in the face with it and rolling back over before he realized what was happening.

This is hilarious!! I do the same thing to my DH. If he is sleeping on his back his snoring is out of control. I usually push him to his side or plug his nose until he wakes up and rolls over. It's terrible haha

lisaren · June 2014

I hope we have an exciting fffc this week! I don't think we've had a good one in a while!

MrsAdventure · June 2014

I have no intention of doing anything productive today, except maybe changing out of my PJ's.

mommymeg143 · June 2014

We have guys who are working on our house right now. They got here super early and I was so frustrated because I wanted to sleep longer. So, I turned the shower on and pretended to be in the shower when I was really sleeping.

MrsTuna08 · June 2014

I do not read the sex reveal threads. It's either a girl or a boy. I like that people put it in their siggy once they know, but I find the individual threads annoying.

MommaKb710 · June 2014

We are moving and our landlord has required us to fill and touch up paint on all holes (from hanging pictures). I didn't feel like wasting time spackling and sanding first, so I started filling all the holes with a bar of soap. Works great and no need to wait for it to dry, then sand.

I am fine with pot for medical purposes. But I have seen a lot of great people (who weren't sick) wreck their lives with it. They lost their motivation in life... started making terrible choices... And had the personalities of wet mops. It's really sad to see sharp, successful people turn into lame, stupid potheads.

As for my FFC ---

There is another board (not on TB) that I can no longer visit. At least twice a month there is a group of smokers that all congratulate themselves for continuing to smoke throughout their pregnancies. Those that tried to quit, were encouraged to start again. And they all talk about how their other kids and kids they know "turned out super fine and perfectly healthy".

My mom smoked while pregnant (it was the 70s, no one knew how bad it was) and I WAS NOT FINE as a baby... (oxygen tent for 2 weeks -- my lungs were a mess) and I am not fine now because of it. (I will spare you the details.) I am utterly disgusted. (I realize that it is crazy hard to quit - but to be so smug about it? UUUUGH!!!)

lisaren · June 2014

What!!!! They congratulate themselves!!!! Omg. That's wrong.

THEY DO!

Thank you for being outraged with me! lol.

lisaren · June 2014

Oh that makes me mad!! I'm a previous smoker and I know how hard it is to quit but there's no excuse. None at all.

sweetbabyrahe · June 2014

I have an intern who I am making do all of my work today, so I can be lazy and hang out on the bump...actually I do that most every day.

This makes me mad too! I've been an on-again off-again smoker since I was 17. I quit for the final time when I got my BFP. Now the smell of it makes me sick. I don't understand how you could do something that is clearly known to hurt the LO inside you. Disgusting.

Maelara · June 2014

Smoking while pregnant is despicable. I have a friend who has done it through 2 pregnancies and she would get super pissed any time the doctor said anything to her about it. The doctor was just giving her the facts. Babies of smokers have a higher chance of SIDS. They just do.

mommymeg143 · June 2014

How awful!! & the fact that they would encourage people who had quit to start back is sickening.

MollMoll4 · June 2014

One of DH's best friends is moving to Texas and I am SO HAPPY. I do not like this friend - I think he is an immature jerk... So I am glad he won't be geographically close anymore. $:\$ ">

Also, I'm pretty sure my neighbor smoked occasionally throughout her pregnancy last year. Poor DH had to listen to my rants about how selfish she was being every time! I can't believe people still think it's okay to do that.

MrsC430 · June 2014

After a crappy day at work, DH made me chicken & broccoli alfredo for dinner last night (usually my favorite). I had a bad morning sickness day & the alfredo smell grossed me out. When he wasn't looking, I fed my plate to the dog

This made me giggle.

uncharted01 · June 2014

I have a big project due on Monday but I'm sitting in my office reading a book. I will probably have to work from home over the weekend to finish the project, but I just REALLY don't want to do it right now.

MollMoll4 · June 2014

Thought of another one! The family behind me this morning didn't say thank you when I held the door open for them... So I did not hold the next door for them. Sorry I'm not sorry!

There were no young children, promise.

this is terrible!!! i smoked on and off for years and would never endanger the health of my baby. i quit in november and now i'm so grossed out by it. it's so hard to quit but seriously, if you're pregnant you need to man up and quit. no excuses.

That is disgusting that they congratulate each other and then encourage others to start back up. They are a bunch of selfish idgits.

My fffc: my anatomy scan is today and I'm dreading finding out the sex of the baby.

I really don't care what we are having, but I feel like I'm going to be disappointed either way. I have a boy, and another boy would be great!We have everything we need for a boy, They can share clothes and a bed room as they get older. I feel like they would be close. They will only be 18 months apart so If it's a girl I'm scared to death for when he's 16 and she 15, and they have friends over (you see the picture I'm painting) and I don't think that brother sister relationships are as strong as brother brother sister sister. But how fun would it be for fingernail polish and bows?
I know will be excited either way, I'm just having a weird amount of anxiety over this.

I felt the same way. But once we found out it was a boy, I felt a lot better, just knowing. That's the kind of person I am- I hate the not knowing. I'm sure you'll feel great when it's over! Hope it goes well!

AliDagg · June 2014

I cannot handle it when parents think it is funny when their little ones talk back and/or swear at them. The fact that they sit there and do nothing or even laugh it off makes my blood boil.

SweetMelissa5 · June 2014

I'm due towards the beginning of November, but due to several factors, my anatomy scan won't be until 20w3d, and I'm kind of jealous of all the women who will be finding out sooner that their little ones are healthy/what sex the babies are. I just have to suck it up though, since it was important to me that my husband be there, and three weeks from now is the best opportunity for that.

AnnieRoo13 · June 2014

My FFFC (get ready, it's pretty controversial!) is that I'm not really big on Mexican food. I realized from the favourite ethnic food thread that a lot of people love it, but I'm just sort of meh about it. Part of it is that we don't have great Mexican food around here, so I might like it more if I had fantastic authentic Mexican, but the standard fajitas and tacos etc. for dinner are not my thing.

lizzielu82 · June 2014

Yesterday, for about a minute, I wished that I wasn't pregnant.

I had the absolute worst day at work and have a horrendous manager who makes me feel like I'm small and constantly failing. I almost quit on the spot. But I'm the only one with a steady income (we have a start-up website that DH works on which is doing well but money isn't exactly flowing). And because I'm pregnant, I feel stuck at my job. I know a lot of other women are ok with starting new jobs now, but for me it feels irresponsible to start something and then leave almost immediately.

My mom says I need to remove myself from caring so much - it's hard for me to do. I of course am thrilled to be pregnant overall - DH and I were trying for almost a year and even once I got pregnant, it's been a scary road with my thyroid issues.

But I guess I'm now learning about the kinds of sacrifices you have to make when you're a mom. I feel horrible for thinking what I did yesterday. But it's not all about me anymore. And I'm happy about that, but also a little sad as I'm navigating all these crazy emotions.

Footnote: I'm not trying to be insensitive to any losses, in the spirit of confessions and sharing our pregnancy journeys, this was one that happened for me that I feel horrible about and wanted to share in case anyone else had been experiencing something similar, and was also feeling down.

My son's newest word is Gommadammit (God Dammit obviously) and I am ignoring him. He only says it to me, or around me. I walk in my parents' house at night to pick him up and he starts chanting it. I walked into my sister's house yesterday to pick him up after work and he said it once. Slowly but surely he's stopping his use of it, but he only says it to rile me up, not anyone else. I've tried other approaches and it just made him say it more, (like yelling it 10 times in a row in a restaurant), but the ignore approach has worked for the past two weeks, so I'll just keep on ignoring him and hope he forgets the word completely.

I'm pretty guiltyof this, but here's my thing if you post pretty regularly and want to share in an aw sort of way -that's fine TETO. I'm also okay with some people not liking it and thinking of me as a big ol' a/w. That being said here's my FFFC:
It annoys me when someone who barely, if ever, posts comes and takes a big ol' a/w dump on the board and runs away never to return again.
Seriously, Randomysteryposter99
it's pretty rude.

LongIslandMama1114 · June 2014

Baby daddy and I are no longer together but he's still living with me...moves out next weekend (YAY!)

The way he breathes when he wakes up annoyed me so much this morning. I wanted to suffocate him with a pillow.

I agree. I like the AW threads of the people who are regulars around here because I'm excited to hear about them and their LO, but when a random shows up to AW I'm not really interested nor do I care whether their baby has a penis or a vagina.

My brother and I are 3 years apart and growing up we were really good friends and play together, voluntarily, a ton. I think boy or girl yuor little ones can be very close!

brichar31 · June 2014

DH is already on his way to work when I wake up for work in the morning and get myself and DS ready so I shower at night. I take super long showers just to have some "me time"...its fabulous.

Kristy774 · June 2014

I yelled at oldest DS before school this morning. (It was a well deserved yell) Then he cried and went to school upset. Now I feel horrible that he could possibly be having a bad day and its all my fault. But not really because I absolutely think he deserved to get yelled at....but as soon as I feel justified at yelling I immediately feel bad at the exact same time.

LongIslandMama1114 · June 2014

@Wicked22 I've been thinking and feeling the same way about this LOs dad, too. I beat myself up every time.

Except this morning when I wanted to suffocate him with a pillow as previously stated in my FFFC

Ineedmorecoffee · June 2014

I'm getting married tomorrow. (Yes I have referred to my spouse as DH but it's just an internet habit)

Anyways I am breaking out like crazy and it's making me so upset that I wish it was not tomorrow. I am blaming my pregnancy hormones. It still sucks so bad.

I feel this way also. i have a son who is 15 months on the tenth.
So mine is it's super warm today, I want to wear a skirt, but i haven't shaved my legs in over a month. Seriously it's rivaling my husbands. It's just such a pain in the ass. I'm lazy i don't want to do it. Do people really look and notice those things?

Want a personalized experience?
