I hate election years BUT I also like them because I get to see who is actually an ignorant, bigot, asshole. My friends list gets smaller every few years.
I totally hid in an office this morning while students were testing (I didn't have proctoring duties) and laid down on the couch. It was glorious. I have a 20 hour work day today, so I really don't feel bad.
I purposely didn't take my diclegis last night to make sure that my MS was still there. In my defense I've been spotting the last couple days and wanted the reassurance of that symptom.
I am regretting the decision immensely today as I've been up since 5am dry heaving every half hour.
@megstervt I did this a couple of days ago because I was feeling too great and got worried really badly... I ended up feeling miserable the rest of the day (and felt like a big idiot too...)
I had a hot dog this morning don't even feel guilty it was so good with my Mac and cheese ! And after feeling like garbage for several days to eat something that tastes good and kept it down I'm singing the praises!
I love unpopular opinions and I wish everyone would post more!!! I know you ladies have way more judgey inappropriate opinions! SPILLLLLLLLLLL I love when people have really mean ones they get flamed for. I think that's what the thread is for. It's no fun if everyone just has nice ones. Yeah yeah leggings are/ are not pants. Trump is a clown. Newborns are ugly. TELL US THE GOOD STUFF! I'll try harder next week...
I ate prosciutto for breakfast. Totally healthy breakfast, actually. Apple slices, small bunch of grapes, a few slices of prosciutto and organic decaf coffee with heavy cream. Yes... I know cured meats are a "no-no" but billions of European women can't be wrong.
And now I'm stuffing my face with crackers because I'm queasy anyway.
I always have really good ones that I think of during the week and the I can never remember them by Friday. The struggle is real ETA: okay I though of one.
I drop my two year old of at daycare twice a week. I work like 3 days a week in the off season and my hours are 6pm-3am. I really don't need daycare but terrible twos are really hard with a strong willed kid. I dance out of the place

^This, all of this. It was so boring until someone made the SAHM comments, and I just sat back and waited. I love when people defend themselves too, and why should you not. It's your u/o, just be able to back it up with some good sass. It's healthy to release some of that pent up aggression. Can't be unicorns and puppies 24/7.

Here's my FFFC: People that don't think about what they name their kid. Mostly first and middle names. There is nothing cute about combining Jenna and Taylor.
I am on FB frequently and these forums have been an absolute lifesaver to me so this might make me a little bit of a hypocrite but I think social media is turning tons of people into insensitive, self absorbed idiots.

I went for my 12 week check up today... i gained 0 weight since week 8... so I went to Wendys immediately after the appointment for french fries... I've earned them!
I may or may not have spent the first 2 hours of my work day so far (west coast, it's only 10am) bumping and FB'ing when no one can see me. And texting various people about things I consider more important than work!
In my defense, I'm super irritated because I'm having to use inferior backup equipment today that doesn't work right and it's making me look like an incompetent fool to every customer that has come in so far. I've been apologizing a lot.
I want to stop talking to a person I know because her negative comments about pregnancy is getting me down. It sucks because we got into this together but right now we have completely opposite views on this.
I understand that she deserves more than me shutting her out and I do plan on talking to her about it, I just don't want to sound like I am forcing my happiness and my opinions onto her. I just need to think about how to say it without offending her and that I am worried that if she continues to go down this negative path it will affect her mentally.
@pinklady2015 my apologies for not mentioning it, I figure with a Wendy's trip its a given!!! AND I'm one of those people that dip my fries into my Frosty - its the best thing ever.
@chanfa - she is also pregnant, but not enjoying it? Sometimes distance from a negative person is all you can do to protect yourself... I have a friend like this (not PG) but she is consistently negative about everything and no matter what I try to say to cheer her up or turn her outlook around she finds a reason it wont work so I distance myself when I find the need to because I can't be around that much negativity - its not good for you.

Oh man my husband does that- I'm not 100% sold on it, though. But now I really want a damn frosty.
Every time someone on this board mentions food I suddenly want it.
I'm at a weekend conference that starts at 5pm tonight, but my flight got me here at 10am.
Planned on exploring Chicago all day, but my hotel is by Ohare and I'm lazy. So I ordered room service and I'm lying around watching daytime TV. It's heaven!! Next up, nap!
Also/--diet coke with lunch! I'm SO happy right now. I won't have any more, but that can was AMAZING!
@msbeachnj yea she is, she is a little further along and shes not enjoying it. I understand that people are entitled to complain about pregnancy and I do it too. It's similar to your situation where I would try to point out the positive side of things but it gets shot down.
I spoke to the H about it and we do believe its that she doesn't have a good support system and we try to be there for her but it's not us who she needs but her own H to be there for her.
@msbeachnj also forgot to mention that we decided to get the timing down together (not in a creepy way) so that we can go through this together. Shes one of my best friends and she definitely deserves more than a cold shoulder from me.
@chanfa - I see, sounds like a very different situation than my friend and its very nice of you and DH to try and be her support system... perhaps does Dh have any relationship with your friends husband where he can kind of "coach" him on how to be there for her during her pregnancy? I have no idea if it would work, nor obviously do I know anything about what kind of man this husband is, but maybe hearing it from another guy would help him be there for her. I feel badly that she is lacking a supportive DH, I couldn't imagine doing this without mine... he keeps me very sane & grounded.
It drives me nuts when people get annoyed when someone wishes them "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"! Chill, there are plenty of other holidays happening at the same time NYE, Hannuka (Jewish holiday), Christmas etc... IMO It's only polite not to assume what holiday you celebrate.
@msbeachnj all four of us are very close, however hes very empathetic. He is also the type who is not willing to take advice when he believes that nothing is wrong. I know she's had multiple discussions with her own H but he would change for a bit and then revert back. It's just a crappy situation and it sucks to stand by and watch it.
