    My partner at work, who also happens to be my BFF, is on maternity leave since August. Her replacement is a very nice girl, but young and slightly inexperienced. Which is fine, because I think it's great my workplace hires young people fresh out of school and gives them a chance to get some work experience. They hired me with zero experience.

    My confession is, she comes to me daily with questions and for reassurance. I always answer her calmly and confidently, but inside I'm actually thinking "Don't ask me anything!! I still feel new and most of the time I think I'm doing a horrible job and am probably on the verge of getting fired!!"

    I miss my BFF.

    My daughter may or may not be on her 3rd episode of Sofia the First this morning. We are both sick, and let me just say having a cold on top of constant nausea is a horrible combination. I feel like death, and there are probably a few more Sofias in our future if we're going to make it through the day. Ugh.

    Also, to build on yesterday's BFing topic... When I was in high school and college and saw ladies breastfeeding in public I used to snicker and think it was "gross". I seriously wish I could go back in time and slap myself for my ignorance.

    DD woke up way earlier than usual this morning, so me being completely exhausted put Sofia the First on and she might've watched a couple episodes.

    DD is at daycare now and DH leaves today for drill all weekend so I plan on doing absolutely nothing. All weekend.

    I have a "friend" who only talks about her and her problems and whenever I mention anything about me, she stops answering. I would cut her out but she is a colleague through the agency we contract with. So I ignore her texts, calls and selfies that she sends me (seriously), in hopes that she stops bothering me all the time.

    @finnybooboo I learned in a college neuroscience class that kids watching tv or other electronics before the age of 2 actually hinders important growth in the brain. There have been a lot of studies done with pretty conclusive evidence of that. The less tv/electronics at a younger age, the better.
    That's my personal reason for not letting DD watch tv, but I have no idea why other parents don't.

    I close my toddler in her room to play for a couple extra hours instead of playing with her now that I am pregnant so I can lay in bed doing nothing cause I have been spotting the last week and am afraid of losing this baby like I did the 2 before my daughter

    I'm watching cake boss even though the kids want cartoons. Simply because if mommy watches another cartoon she might loose her mind! My two year old is throwing puzzle pieces and my six year old is getting ready for school. I'm still in pjs on the couch. So. Exhausted.

    I'm doing another: Someone heated up something that smells absolutely heavenly in the staff room microwave and no one has come to claim it for like 5 minutes. I am using all my strength not to snatch it and gobble it in my office. Give me a few more minutes and if the owner of this lunch doesn't show, finders keepers!

    I let my child watch too much TV for her age. She watches about an hour or two a day because I work from home and have to make phone calls most days to clients. I let her play by herself until she gets restless and then put on TV for the rest of my working hours. She watches for a while then usually goes back to playing. Then she gets me for the rest of the day. It's either that or having to work full time and a babysitter 50-60 hrs a week so I choose TV.

    This is just my personal reason. I think you'll find many moms have reasons for TV. I don't think it makes them bad parents.

    I'm sitting here at work and I really think I might just sit here and do nothing the rest of the day. The amount of stupidity I've dealt with today is just outstanding. And from people I really shouldn't have to explain these things to.

    Plus DH and I are going to the car dealer today to order our new car and really that's all I'm looking forward to today. It will be early December when it gets here most likely so yay Christmas present for us.

    It's nice to hear of someone else in a similar situation! I work full time/mostly from home, but luckily a lot of it is done via email. I let DD watch a show when I have an important call or meeting, and usually it works out okay. It's quite a juggling act at times, though, and on busy days she does end up watching more TV than I would let her if I wasn't working.

    Update... Don't feel too bad about not working now bc I can't now anyway. Lightning just caused the power to surge and the network is running at snails pace. At least now I have an excuse. :)

    I'm sitting in a virtual meeting right now and not paying one bit of attention. Instead, I'm reading posts on here. After my meeting, I will watch Netflix. I'm over work!

    I'm seriously starting to consider searching and linking to the Let Me Google That For You search results every time someone asks a question without Googling or even using the board search feature first. Maybe I'm just annoyed but I feel like we have a whole generation of people that can't figure out how to think for themselves. Search it yourself or call your doctor. 


    (okay, so that might have been a bit of a rant wrapped in a confession. lol)


    countrygrl5533  .... that was hysterical!  I love that link and send it to everyone ALL of the time.

    Our tvs are on 24/7. I'm not a huge fan of that. I didn't even have a tv in my last place. But my husband can't even sleep without it on. Now he has his son doing the same thing so HE can't sleep without the tv on either. I'm like yea don't do that with my kids. There's just times I wish it was off. Like overnight or at breakfast or dinner. It's totally excessive and you can see the damage it causes.

    I normally eat very healthy meals and snacks, lots of veg and protein with low carbs and pretty minimal sugar. The last month however I have been scarfing down pizza, burgers, tacos, ice cream and any other quick and easy, greasy or sweet thing I can get my hands on . . . this has to stop!  No weight gain yet though so I guess that's a plus.

    I took the afternoon off work to go home and work on a project for a fundraising event next week that I'm working on. Instead of working on the project, I came home and took a 2 hour nap!

    I ate a juicy burger and a king sized Twix for dinner. That's all I've eaten today. I've also not taken my PN vitamin in 2 days bc it makes me throw up. I'm really not giving this one a fighting chance on health to start.
