Morning ya'll, let's do this.

BPer · August 2014

It's been an embarrassingly long time since I cooked for H. In my defense, he's basically never home for dinner.

BPer · August 2014

I listened to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" on repeat on the way home from my parents' house yesterday so that I would only have ONE screaming kid in the back of my car. Hannah likes to sing along.
Confession: I really didn't mind it.

BPer · August 2014

Between the surprise party I'm throwing for H, and his gift, I went way overboard on his birthday this year.

Flamingemu · August 2014

I have a work trip to NYC next week. I am disappointed it was cut down to one day. Now I travel up and back in the same day and don't get a hotel bed all to myself.

I went to the DG to buy cheap pee sticks last night. I walked around the store to make sure they weren't in the aisle before checking out. I get to the counter and the cashier had just given the gentleman in front of me incorrect change. Cue the shitstorm. I start to check out and I asked her for the test. She walked around and said "we only have the Clear Blue, will that work"? I said no, I need the DG cheap brand. She proceeded to tell me that they didn't have any and I should check the other two stores in the area. I said no thanks and walked over to put the nail polish up when the other cashier came over and asked her what I was looking for. She then told her that the tests were in fact under the counter in a place that she didn't look. So, dumb cashier ask me how many I want - and I told her 3. She proceeds to say "Oh, I know how that is. Got to test, test and retest. I've been there more than once". @-)

I just looked at her with a blank stare. As someone who is trying to conceive - I do not want to hear that BS. Give me my damn pee sticks and let me out of this place!

I never stick to my budget when it comes to gifts.

I never make dinner for DH. He cooks. I eat it. It's a great set up.

I did heat up a frozen lasagna the other day. I'm pretty awesome.

Pokedot · August 2014

Hi @cheeseandrice :-h how's the new job going? If you posted about it sorry. I never saw.

So a guy and I started dating in HS. It ended 7 years later. We were engaged but a lot of crap he did started to come out and that was it. I found out about drug use, he stole money from my parents, treated me like absolute crap. He's just not a nice person. I found out last night that he lost part of his foot recently. He wasn't taking care of himself like usual. He's a severe diabetic (very early in life he was diagnosed), married with a son. My first thought was "karma is a bitch." This probably makes me look horrible but if there was ever someone I hated in life it was him and to me that's a very strong word. I seriously don't feel bad.

MarisaKathleen · August 2014

I'm so over my marriage it's just ridiculous. If I wasn't afraid of being a single parent, I would have left by now.

My SIL is throwing a joint birthday party for my nieces this weekend and you know what? I'm not going. DH can deal with his stupid family all on his own. And it's supposed to rain, so I hope he has fun. My cousin's redneck birthday party is the same day and I'd much rather go to that anyway.

MarisaKathleen · August 2014

I'm sorry @MarisaKathleen ... I know I haven't been around lately, so I'm not sure if you've talked about it here. What's going on?

We just don't really like each other.

My last straw was when he told me that he can't understand why I have to "sit on my ass" after Nancy goes to bed when all I do at work is sit at a desk all day. The fact that I'm pregnant and haven't felt good in almost 7mo is apparently irrelevant. FYI, we have a baby due in 2 weeks and DH hasn't done one damn thing in his room like put together a crib or a dresser. I started moving stuff this week and it was a shit storm of "I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO DO THAT!" I'm really hoping things go back to normal after this baby gets here, but I'm just not confident that it's going to happen.

((Hugs)) @marisakathleen - The jump from 1 kid to 2 was the hardest point in our marriage, starting with when I was pregnant with Aedan. We just didn't always see things the same way and I got way more annoyed with him over everything. It was just a weird time for us. We struggled a lot when Aed was a baby too because we had to figure out an entire new balancing act.

If things aren't getting better after the baby is here, maybe counseling can help you two sort out your feelings?

Pokedot · August 2014

Sorry @marissakathleen. I hope things get better once DS is here. I think men sometimes forget it's not a cake walk carrying a child and then caring for another. ((HUGS))

Why are cashiers sometimes so "open" about things. I don't care that you don't like my son's name (yes that just happened recently) or that you don't plan on having kids because you don't like them. Also don't swear in the presence of a customer. Where do they find these people?

ETA: spelling

helllooooo. Work is super slow today so I'm risking some TB time.

@bper I want to know what his gift is!

Tickets to the Giants vs Colts! And I sprung for the mezzanine section instead of upper level seating. He's actually never been to an NFL game. Which us crazy considering what a die hard NYG fan he is.

my FFFC - last night after work, I asked Lo what she wanted for dinner (H works late Thursdays so it's just us.) Her response? "mama pizza please? lorelei watch elmo tv eat pizza?" oh, ok.

So we ordered GF Dominos and ate in the living room. I think we've done that once before, so I have no idea where she got that whole set up from. But it was too cute to say no to.

Dude, my kid asks for munchkins when we drive by DD. She recognizes the logo. I blame grandma.

MrsKipper · August 2014

We got back from vacation on Sunday. I washed my clothes and towels on Monday. The towels are still in the washer.

I need a week alone to recover from that vacation! So tired!

jenndub · August 2014

@marissakathleen I'm really sorry that you're going through a hard time right now. I hope it gets better, and soon. But if it doesn't, being a single mom is really tough, but it's a hell of a lot better than being in a shitty relationship. Also, the dvr is completely yours and there is no one there to judge you if you sit around eating Oreos, drinking Dr. Pepper and crying over episodes of the Real World. Hypothetical, I NEVER did that...

MrsKipper · August 2014

Yesterday was our engagement anniversary (we always acknowledge those kind of dates). I was telling DH that 2 years ago I was on bedrest and about to give birth to Nola. He said "Happy Anniversary!" I gave him a weird look because I thought he was talking about the bedrest and Nola's birthday. Nope, I had completely forgotten about the engagement date and DH reminded me.

I always remember dates and birthdays so for me to forget that is crazy!

jenndub · August 2014

I've only worn concealer a handful of times in my life. And those were all times that I was in a wedding.

My temp is a moron and I really should fire her and get a new one. But I start maternity leave in 3 weeks and I can't stand the idea of training someone else. She's been there for over two weeks and still says my name wrong. And my name is Jennie, not something exotic.

Flamingemu · August 2014

Hi. My name is emu and I am a hypocrite. I have on a maxi skirt and blouse at work today.

I was very anti maxis until I bought the one I am wearing today. It is still cotton, but the pattern seems fancier to me or something. I just didn't want to shave today and I hate pants.

Flamingemu · August 2014

I said yesterday someone challenged me to the ALS bucket challenge. My mother was giving me a hard time about in on FB last night. Clearly she wants to do it and thought I would nominate her (umm, lady, I barely speak to you). I got so irritated with her back and forth and didn't want anyone else to pick up on it - so I deleted her comments. Ha.

@shiggybop‌ You've had a rough go of it lately. Hope things get better soon.

My FFFCs:

I teared up when Lily said our dog's name for the first time the other day. She's been referring to him as dog forever, but calling other dogs by their name.

I ran out of q-tips yesterday and I'm struggling. I use them everyday both for ear cleaning (I know, I know) and make-up related tasks. I was considering a run to Target, but I'm going to wait to our regular trip this weekend.

Aww, I'm really sorry. I hope things start to turn around for you guys. Maybe you need some time together without Nancy before the next LO arrives.

Not a confession but needed to drop this somewhere. I'm at my pp appointment as we speak and am speaking to the dr. about my probable ppa. I'm trying to remind myself that it's medical, my hormones aren't the way they should be, but I really hate that I'm going to have the diagnosis written down. It's stupid because I don't think any less of anyone else who has suffered from depression or anxiety disorders, but when it comes to myself I keep thinking I should be able to power through. Ugh. Oh and I have fucking mastitis. I feel like death, y'all. If given the option, I would totally be sedated to sleep until the pain goes away.

HUGS. I know I'm a lot harder on myself and hold myself to different (often unreasonable) expectations, so I understand what you're saying. But just remember that you will feel better, which in turn will make parenting and overall life easier, if you get some help.

I totally get where you are coming from. I am at the point where I need to talk to someone about TTTC, life, DH, etc. My current coping mechanisms aren't working, says my pants that are all snug - but I just can't pull the trigger. I actually started looking at my insurance coverage last night, but gave up when I started looking at Docs.

I hope you get what you need and start to feel better soon.

How does she say it @jenndub?

Like Genie. I've corrected her a few times, but she's still doing it. I would think that she's just being a snatch but she does it to another woman in our office as well. Her name is Leela and she calls her Layla. Every email, memo and project she's produced has been riddled with typos. I need to replace her.

melody921 · August 2014

Yesterday was a horrible day. I'll spare you the boring details, but basically, I'm feeling like everyone's scapegoat, and I'm just getting SO tired of shit being piled on repeatedly. So I made the always wise decision to drink a martini last night, followed by another and another. Today, I honestly think my insides are shaking, and I'm remembering why I don't drink to excess. I am too old for this shit.

We have a play date at the splash pad in 30 minutes. My hair has fabulous volume today. I want to cancel. I never have volume! I don't want to get it wet.

Backcomb that shit and spray with bigsexy dry shampoo or sprinkle with mattifying powder. Instant volume.

kdsmith43 · August 2014

I am net battling with dumb idiots over the whole St. Louis shooting incident. She claims all cops are thugs who steal peoples money and keep all of the confiscated drugs for themselves.

hmp1 · August 2014

Not a fffc but I'm annoyed. The plans I had for Leo's birthday are all falling apart. The pick your own apple orchard has very limited crop so they are only doing tours and those on the tour can pick 1 apple. Sept 20th is the last day of the tours and is questionable for crop. I don't want to change the date though so I'm sticking with that. Then he tells me today that they are not going to do the goat petting area or pumpkin shoot this year. Grrr, those were my main entertainment. I'm thinking about not inviting people and just doing our family and my parents now for the tour and still having our photographer come out and do pictures.

BPer · August 2014

I'll only feel comfortable going back to work if B is on a good feeding/sleeping schedule. His first 4 weeks home were a whirlwind of crazy, so now I'm trying to stay home and get us in some sort of routine.

BPer · August 2014

I really want to start working out. Like go to a hot yoga class or do some Jillian Michaels. It's giving me anxiety waiting it out.

MarisaKathleen · August 2014

I just had a student meeting. I explained that while I'm out on maternity leave she could see another advisor who will be on my campus 1x per week. She looks at me and goes "did you adopt or something?"

Evidently she's an idiot, or I just look more fat than usual today and not at all pregnant. Either way, I now want to eat 17 bars of chocolate.

Some people are so STUPID. Also it's called, think before speak. You look great and she's an idiot.

She's 19 and one of my "i want to hold babies for a living" nursing students, so I'm not surprised, just annoyed.

Can I request to NOT have her as my L & B nurse? I get squishy babies are fun especially when you can give them back but ummm...there is more to it than holding a baby. Sorry she's so inconsiderate.

kdsmith43 · August 2014

I had a flash drive stuck in my computer, that is under my desk. I kicked it and bent it, and now it won't work. It had T's birth story, pictures, passwords, etc.
