Great, now I'm not going to get anything accomplished until I know what @YoginiKiki is side-eying.
/wasn't going to get anything accomplished anyway
I'm being featured in a new pregnancy/motherhood blog during the month of October, so if you ever wanted to know more about my pregnancy, birth, and motherhood experiences than anyone ever should, check out my posts in the link below!
I like to go on company facebook pages and read disgruntled customer comments. It makes me giggle how many people expect extra from companies (example someone had a mistake on their receipt- product rang up wrong and they didn'tccatch it till later. They wanted the difference plus sonething like a $5 gift card for having to drive back to the store for a refund).

I'm the first to complain (not on social media but IRL) when I'm not happy with a service or a product that I am receiving, and will try to get extras for my inconvenience. I'm a purchasing agent and deal with sales people All.Day.Long. they are always pesting me so I figure they better do their job well and make my life easy or I'll flame them.
I never thought I would be the mom who complained about a lack of sleep all the time. I have turned into that mom. I just realized today how exhausted I am. LO woke up at 6:30 this morning. It is 4:30 and he has maybe slept an hour total today. We are going to the store when H gets home and I am buying formula to start supplementing. I am having a great internal struggle about it of course. Not because I think formula is bad, but I feel bad for wanting a break from BF all the time and I can't pump enough for a bottle no matter what I do. But I know in the end I will be a better parent for doing it.
My FFFC is that LO starts daycare (outside our house) on Monday and I am fricking excited! I love him to death, but I'm glad to have my 'me' time back while I'm commuting and at work.

July 2012: Infertility tests started at OB/Gyn, HSG and HSN all clear Sept 2012: IUI #1 w/Clomid - BFN Oct 2012: IUI #2 w/Clomid - cancelled due to cyst Nov 2012: IUI #3 w/Clomid - BFN
Break to move and find new PCP, OB/Gyn & RE Sept 2013:first appt with RE Nov / Dec 2013: IVF #1 with ICSI split Dec 6: Retrieval, 4 retrieved, 2 mature, 1 fertilized Dec 11: Transferred 1 (Day 5) Dec 30: HCG Beta, 4980. BFP! 1 little bean!
My FFFC: My Christmas decorations are still up. They will be coming down this weekend. I usually get some post-holiday blues, so having them up I think helps me to transition out of crazy holiday mode and I get to appreciate the tree for a while longer. We also are usually away from our house for at least 5 days after Christmas, so I have a little break from looking at all of it. I am ready for it to be put away now but I am dreading doing it.
Another Christmas related FFFC: I wish people had holiday lights up all year round. Like different colored ones for each holiday. I always love it when I see houses that do decorations for each time of the year. I love Christmas lights!
I'm trying to get out of going to my niece's birthday party tonight because there will be so much pizza and cake. I've stuck to this diet to a T for 4 days, but I'm highly unstable at this point and it wouldn't take much convincing for me to give up. I've been to the other 13 parties she's had, surely she won't mind me missing the 14th.
I'm a horrible aunt..
Not a horrible aunt! I've got two nephews — I flat out skipped going to my older nephew's last birthday party, that they intentionally planned for a specific weekend because the whole family would be around, solely because it meant waiting 6 hours to leave for my honeymoon. Did. Not. Want. To. Go. I wanted to hit the road and get to our hotel earlier because my dumb husband got too drunk for sex at our reception, and I wanted some honeymoon sex. Do I feel bad? Not at all.
I had a more legitimate reason to miss my other nephew's first birthday party in that it was 3 days after Amelia was born and I was still in the hospital recuperating after a c section.
Love the suggestion about doing one on one time later! Your niece will remember that way more, and probably enjoy it better!
Can't stand Taylor Swift. Like, I want to run her voice over with my car so I never have to hear her sing again.
And tape her eyelids open because she looks like she had no eyeballs. It annoys me.
But I kind of like some of Carrie's songs. But I really miss the older country! Back when country was country and pop/rock were still their own music. Like Reba, Wynona, and Faith.
I lay on the couch and cuddle with LO every night until she falls asleep. Then I move her to her bed. I will probably regret not allowing her to just fall asleep on her own later on, but I don't care. It's my favorite part of the day.
No, but I can probably find out on iHeart or Pandora!
I had to totally wipe my Pandora because the damn thing wouldn't play anything but Disney Princesses. Oh, you typed Clint Black? Here's some Jasmine. Waylon Jennings? Ariel. You think you're going to play Fleetwood Mac?! Think again. How about Mulan with a side of Snow White just because her high pitched voice is super annoying. Gah!

I feel likewise about rocking Emi. Doing it right now in fact.
