What's the acronym? FFFU?

Whatever it is for Flamefree Fridays..., that's what this is.
I don't actually have one, I just need something to do today. But I'm sure I'll be inspired.

Re: What's the acronym? FFFU?
*still flammable
I'm extremely proud of him and would never complain to him about this. He would just feel guilty and it's not like he can do anythu g about it.
I'm of the opinion that I feel like I don't get to spend as much time with him since I went back to work and he's only going to be little for so long. Plus it's SO much easier to just nurse in bed and I get a little extra sleep. Yep. I Co sleep with my 2 month old (something I said I would *never* do -gasp!)

I was home with DS most of this week with one sickness after the next. He was so pitiful and cuddly. I would put on Sprout all day and let him lounge on the couch while I watched Scandal on my phone with one earbud.
I can only watch so much of Chica.
DD's lunch account was down to $1.10 and I lost my check card (ie threw it away at a gas station accidentally last weekend while cleaning out the car because I was running errands at 6 AM with two kids). So I knew I had to take money up to the school. DS' parent teacher conference was this morning. It of course started late. I had to choose between money for DD at school or being on a call for work (I was running a live meeting and had to be on my computer).
Despite the fact that the school is within sight of our house, I lacked time to stop and made it home to take the work call. Hopefully they fed her something.
Second part to this: I am super annoyed. DD keeps buying a la carte items, which is why she ran out of funds. We don't eat cookies or chips except as special treats, and she buys them ALL THE TIME. Nothing stops her. It is making me insane. I don't have time to police that daily, nor do I want to pack a lunch or have her pack one (we have done three weeks of no buying lunch as punishment and she just continues to do it when she CAN buy). SO ANNOYED!
@librarychica Hilarious! I got Little Winey Witches cocktail napkins to go inside where the adult solo cups will be (for the wine to walk around) and DH side eyed them until I explained that those napkins are not for the kids.
One of our neighbors hands craft beers to the parents of ToTers.
I have friends handing out reminders to vote to the parents and friends who remember fondly getting those Hugs drinks. I never got drinks when ToT, and agree about the weight issue!
We do take bags and empty the buckets/smaller bags into the larger bags for each child and strap them onto the stroller to eliminate whining.
We aren't home during peak ToTing hours as we are with DS. I leave a bucket on the porch. I don't care if one kid takes the whole thing or everyone is polite and shares.
I am also fairly certain I had a homeless woman come to the door one year. She was by herself and looked very disheveled. It was the end of the night so I gave her the rest of the candy. I don't want leftover candy. Not because I am that awesome but rather I bought a ton of the good candy for myself already.
New one: DH bought me an awesome poncho/sweater thing in NY. Wearing it for the first time. Just dipped the back of the triangle in the toilet (stupid complicated garment). Housecleaner came yesterday, no one had used that bathroom. Drying it with my blow dryer and totally not changing clothes.
God Bless You my Little One
