It's FFFC Time!

  Yesterday we ran out of toilet paper. When DH called on his way home from work I asked if he could pick some up, but he didn't have any cash on him at the time. I was seriously considering somehow dealing with no toilet paper for 24 hours because I didn't want to run to the store for just that.
  
  However, I thought to myself "What if I have to poop again?" (Yeah right. Constipation.) Thankfully we went to go run errands anyway when he got home, so we avoided that entire scenario.
  
  Ladies, do not, I repeat DO NOT let yourselves go without toilet paper for an extended period of time.

  I am very outspoken against standardized tests and "traditional" evaluation methods.
  
  But what am I doing right now? Sitting in a waiting room while my 4 year old takes a stupid "test" because it's the only way to apply for the perfect progressive school (which ironically doesn't practice traditional standardized tests at the school). Stupid system. I feel like a fraud

  My son left his snow pants with his dad last night (we're not together). I didn't have any extras (those were my extras) and it's freezing today, so I took a pair out of the lost and found at his school for him to wear today. Mom of the Year.

  I vomited all over/in a trash can on the subway platform at grand central yesterday repeatedly, then wiped my dripping nose mouth with a piece of work paper (oops I needed that) and my sleeves (all I had). People gawked at me, didn't offer to help, then got on the same train car as my contagious ass... And sat next to me! All I could think through my tears of misery and embarrassment were that those Darwin Award candidates deserved it, and I'm really really sorry MTA facilities, like really, very sorry.

  @HBMama2B --that sucks. I hope you start feeling better soon. And I'm sure the MYA workers have seen worse. At least you tried to get it into the trash can...
  
  I never know what to write for these...
  I went out last night and did one of those paint nite things with a friend. It was the first time I've been out without DH or DD for something fun in over a year. It was awesome! And I don't really feel guilty for making DH cook dinner and put DD down to bed all by himself.
  And my DD dance studio is having a daddy daughter dance next Saturday and I bought them a ticket do I get another evening all to myself next weekend.

  I thought of one! Look at me go...a UO and now a FFFC! 
  
  We've had a fair bit of snow this week...not the heavy, wet snow, all pretty light & fluffy. But every time it's time to shovel I totally play up the "I really shouldn't be doing any heavy lifting" so that DH will go & do it all. I feel a *bit* guilty about this...but, it's so cold out there!

  We attempted potty camp yesterday to get DD potty trained. I was so exhausted when DH got home that when she said I don't want to go on the potty, I said fine and put a diaper on her and went to my room with a Dr. Pepper.
  
  Also she immediately pooped in the diaper, so I think that's the battle we are going to have in training. Ugh.

  @itsStackie don't despair! Asking for a pull-up or diaper to poop in is much better than holding it in and getting constipated or worse (encopresis). It may feel like a step back, but you and she are probably heading in the right direction. Good luck!

  This gave me flash backs to my first pregnancy when I threw up all over a trash can at metro center station, and into a bag at the airport station while a bunch of tourists looked at me with disgust. Each time I had to get back on the next train with the people who were watching me vomit

  I'm just waiting for her to come back and say well I think it's okay and get all grumpy that we weren't being supportive of her. Then the true flames will begin over there.
  My FFFC - if what I just said happens it would probably make me really happy. Does that make me an awful awful person?

  @CourtJack hahaha amazing. My kid's favourite hobby is finding snacks on the ground in the parkade for our building. It's disgusting and covered in mud puddles all the time because of the snow being tracked in by cars. Yesterday she ate a Cheerio off the ground. The day before was a piece of popcorn. Her #1 favourite treat to find though is cigarette butts

  ------______________
  My daughter always tries to lick the snow wherever we are--off of her shoe, off of her hands, off of the car or ground. I tell her to stop and that it is gross, she responds by saying that snow is her favorite and that she has to eat it...
