I'm really sick of my mom relying on me for EVERYTHING. I'm all for helping my family out, but it's like we're reversed in the typically "mother-daughter relationship" because I never ask her for anything, and she's constantly asking me for favors. I have two kids and a household of my own to take care of; I don't have time for that.

Yes, my husband asked me 3 times if I was SURE I didn't want the last hot wings. I went to bed, because, of course I dont want the last hot wings at 8 pm that will give me horrible heart burn the rest of the night!
I haven't cooked or done a dish since Tuesday. I will not be cooking most of the weekend. If at all. I'm good with it, but I get really bad anxiety when I'm off routine so I'm already ready to get back into a routine on Monday.
@LWC1112 I'm going to have awhile tomorrow to get stuff in order and then I think we're going to go get our cars detailed and maybe I can talk DH into hitting up Costco and Aldi in Rockwall. Having a meal plan and week plan will be nice for once. DD sleeps better, I feel better and less anxious, and DH seems more productive at work even when I'm organized and prepared for the week! I also get more runs in when its all planned out...
I couldn't decide which kind of donut I wanted yesterday so I ate them both. I did the same thing with which kind of chips to have with my sandwich 2 days ago.
My girlfriends and I had planned a girls trip to Atlantic City for this weekend. It ended up being canceled. I haven't told my husband and now plan on booking a room at the local embassy suites for a night away all by my lonesome.
@amandazap I feel you on that! I hate having things that need to involve both families! My family doesn't get along with his and I don't like any of them to begin with.
@texasmama2014 same. I feel bad when I go a while without cooking but I'm already planning what fast food to get for dinner tonight. No shame.
I hated my pregnancy "group" at the hospital. I felt like none of my questions got answered, and the knowledge levels of at least half the women there was appalling. We spent the whole time talking about what constitutes a "non starchy vegetable."
Also I feel like a bad person for feeling this way. But I really don't need to talk about spaghetti and meatballs being a vegetable. *Face - Palm* No kidding we spent 15 minutes to discover they are - in fact- not considered a daily serving of veg. And you could do things like ADD vegetables to the plain tomato sauce... or make a salad!
STICK A FORK IN ME!! I'M DONE WITH TODAY!!!! I want to call all my daycare moms and tell them to come pick up their kids NOW!!! Everyone, including my DD, has been sick with a cold this week. They are all off schedule, crabby, and whining and or crying CONSTANTLY!! I was ready to lock myself in the bathroom and cry by 11 this morning. I miss my wine, so so soooooo much!!
I hate when people say, "we're not trying, but we're not doing anything to prevent it" I mean let's get real people, if you're not using BC and you're not pulling out then you're trying! I mean what do you think is gonna happen?
I dislike when people use "like" incorrectly or often. Example; I've lived here for like 8 months. Just no. Please stop. There are so many other words to use. Approximately, roughly, around, etc. Just stop. Its used so often as a filler and is unnecessary. When I read it all I think is you must be 16 years old and still in highschool. I dislike how it's an acceptable norm in society now. If your using it with sarcasm go for it. I just find it makes you sound uneducated. My flame suit is on, I know I'll get flamed. Happy Friday to everyone.
I bought a king's cake and 4 chocolate croissants from my favorite bakery today. Counting down the minutes until I'm home, in yoga pants and can eat them.
I made my husband go buy a dishwasher today. I just can't pull myself together long enough to hand wash a sink of dishes any longer. He's installing it now.
One of my biggest concerns about my pregnancy is that if the baby isn't 100% "normal", ILs might be awful with the baby. I know my family will love the baby no matter what, and so will H and I, but ILs are much more... sheltered. They're very homophobic and I've heard them make degrading comments about people with mental and physical disabilities. They know it bothers me but just excuse it as me being one of those crazy liberals who push for political correctness.
Sorry, but if they ever talk about my kid the way I've heard them talk about other people, they will never have the privilege of seeing him or her again.

That's my motto. If you're not preventing, you're trying. I've had to say it to my cousin three times now.

I think it depends on how often you have sex. If you're a nearly every day type of couple then I agree, not preventing is trying. If you normally only have sex once a week, your chances of hitting your 3 most fertile days are a lot lower and I'd feel safe calling it NTNP.
I think the new Barbie sizes are annoying. Barbie is Barbie. She's fabulous and been that way for 50+ years. Oh and have fun buying all the different accessories for all the different body types.

I agree but I also get why people say this, particularly if you've had fertility challenges. There is some difference between temping, charting, POS for ovulation and having sex at optimum times (whether you feel up to it or not) and just not using BC. I suspect when people say they are "not trying, but not trying to prevent either" this is the distinction they are making. I mean technically it is a fallacy to say it, but in practice I get the distinction. Particularly if this is part of a strategy to let go of the immense stress and emotional roller coaster that is regimented "trying" I think calling it not really trying makes it easier to face the potential disappointment at the end of the month. So, though language inaccuracies often irk me, depending on context this one I can understand and sympathize with.
I've been eating healthy and exercising since I got pregnant, so the other night I went and bought a big bag of cheetos and ate it all. It was well needed.

I'm going to whole-heartedly disagree here. As someone who works in the field of eating disorders/body image issues this is such a huge step. Barbie has been representing an unattainable and unrealistic ideal of beauty for the last 50 years, one that is so outrageous that if she were alive she would not get her period, have serious spinal issues, and not be able to stand up straight due to her breast being too large for her tiny waist. These changes offer an opportunity for young girls to have something to look to and play with that doesn't set them up for self-hatred in the future. Why shouldn't we be able to purchase dolls for our kids that are closer to what a female body actually looks like?
