I had a territory meeting for my job today online. I spent almost the whole time getting my Bump to Birth book updated and the other part of the time on The Bump. I wonder if I am the only one who didn't pay any attention. Meetings online are never a good idea, especially on a Friday!

Sometimes I wonder if everyone on the BMB is actually pregnant. I dont have doubts about anyone specifically, but being the internetz you just never know.
I am contracted to stay until 3pm, but I am peacing out of here at 2:50 and I dare anyone to stop me.
Wow, between this and my lame UO, I really need to get out more....
Ummm, a better one could be that last night at choir rehearsal, they opened two bottles of wine and I was the only one who couldn't partake. I was super bummed, but my BFF slipped me a sip of her chardonnay. Oh, it was heavenly. Then, one of the tenors came late...and brought me a Shamrock Shake! Last week I had been lamenting how everyone else got to drink except me so he figured he would bring me a fancy drink too. Of course, it is not the best thing to drink while singing so I ended up staying almost an hour after rehearsal had ended, sipping my SS and gabbing with the other choir members while they ate off their buzz with Girl Scout cookies (we have a resident troop at our church so we ALWAYS have cookies!). I didn't get home until past 11pm, but it was so worth it!
@laurenmdrn16 Don't you work at an elementary school? Ours around here always made us stay til 3:50- even on Fridays. Even as a sub, I would get bitched at if I left early. Sorry, I'm not just gonna sit here to sit here.

1. DH is going out of town this weekend for a wedding (I don't know the couple + didn't want to use PTO to take off today, so I'm not going). We've had 2 really busy weekends in a row, my introverted self is way too excited about having a weekend all to myself.
2. My mom took me shopping for nursery decor 2 weeks ago. I have to admit that I added several of the things we purchased to my registry (and marked them as purchased) just in case anyone wants to buy things for the nursery, then they'll have an idea what it looks like.

@Bluejay3030 I won't buy girl scout cookies anymore or keep them in the house if they are given to us. Too much temptation. lol My mother in law gave us two boxes of cookies for Christmas and I took them to work for my coworkers to eat.

Usually fakers have tons of drama going on all the time to draw attention to themselves, and I think everyone here is relatively tame. But you never know

@AdorkablePixieI'm usually the same. It's impossible to moderate consumption, I swear.
@laurenmdrn16 Don't you work at an elementary school? Ours around here always made us stay til 3:50- even on Fridays. Even as a sub, I would get bitched at if I left early. Sorry, I'm not just gonna sit here to sit here.
The beauty is that we are not on the teacher's contract (which totally sucks in general because we get crap pay and our CEUs that are required by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Ed. don't count towards our steps) so nurses can leave "30 minutes after students are dismissed" and only have to arrive "15 minutes before students arrive". But I usually look pathetic and/or confident enough when I waddle out that no one stops me. Hey, if there are no kids and I have finished all my paperwork/notes/parent calls for the day, what is the point of just sitting in my office?
H is driving me crazy today. He keeps popping his knuckles and chewing really loudly. I love that man to death, but sometimes I just want to pop him in the nose!

This is my attitude as a school librarian, as well. I'm productive during the day and get all my work done--why should I sit around doing nothing for an extra 30 minutes just because the contract says so? Unfortunately, I AM on the teachers' union contract, and our admin is really cracking down on late arrivals/early leavers (even a minute late or early...it's ridiculous.) It's like, excuse me, are the children learning? Are they safe? Then excuse me while I get on with my life.

Ooooh didn't even think of that! & I totally agree!!
My confession is....donuts. I want all the donuts and I have wanted all the donuts for several weeks now. However I have left all the donuts alone...until yesterday. I ate a jelly donut. It was the greatest thing in the entire world. So much so that this morning I stopped and got another jelly donut. And a boston cream donut. I didn't want the jelly donut to be lonely.
I'm also pretty sure there are more donuts in my future...future meaning my lunch break in 10 minutes.
TB insists that I am spelling "donut" wrong. How does one spell donut?
@Aquinna82 doughnut maybe? I hear you on the donut love though. My husband brought me a Boston creme yesterday and I was the happiest wife in the world.
H is driving me crazy today. He keeps popping his knuckles and chewing really loudly. I love that man to death, but sometimes I just want to pop him in the nose!
My DHs chewing bothers me SO MUCH MORE now than it ever did before I got pregnant. I don't understand why that is but almost every time we eat I have to tell him to chew quieter (why does that look so weird.. did I spell it wrong?) or I end up sitting there clenching my jaw trying not to yell.

The fresh donuts from the amish market down the road from my apartment are amazing! I am totally going and buying a dozen next Saturday morning to treat the people who help us move. And I secretly hope no one eats and so I have an excuse to have a donut a day for a week. lol I'm not usually big on donuts, but these things are amazing!

Since I found out I passed my glucose test I think I may be overindulging a little bit on the sweets... My excuse is I pretty much had to skip out on them for 2 weeks while going through the 1 and 3 hour tests so I'm making up for lost time. DH actually laughed at me today when I said I was stopping at the store to get Easter candy on the way home today.

I have always been this way about chewing, and being pregnant just makes it worse. Hearing chewing makes me cringe/ragey, so DH is kind enough to either 1) offer me his crunchy snack so that I can't hear him chew (because I'm chewing too) or 2) if I'm not hungry, he'll pick something that doesn't make too much noise.

Ok, this is not so much a confession as just a quirk I have, but I always get nervous that food or other inanimate objects will get "lonely" if I eat or only have one or an odd number. I also feel bad when I wear mismatched socks because I imagine their mates thinking they are being cheated on. And if I wear a certain pair of shoes more often than another, I feel like the shoes I don't wear wonder what they did wrong. Same thing with shirts so I make sure to do a full rotation before repeating outfits so I don't wear one more often than the others. I blame Toy Story...

Oh DH has picked up the habit of slurping all of his food. Not just soups or liquids. Even rice now. I make some cringe
Like a few others, my confession today is that I plan to skip out of work a little early this afternoon. MH was out of town all last week for a work conference, and I was already asleep when he got in late last night. It was so hard getting out of bed and leaving this morning after not seeing him all week. With the daylight savings time change this weekend, I'll be putting in an "extra" hour on Monday, so what's the problem in leaving at 4:00 today? That's the logic I'm going with, anyway!
I think I might be nesting vicariously through my cleaning lady. I am making her do something extra each week to prepare for baby. Might have to give her a bonus or a day off in the near future...
Just to back up to the donut thing... When my mom was PG with me she worked part time at Dunkin. And ate a lot of donuts. They are now one of my favorite foods, and I really do think it is because she ate so many when pregnant with me. Which means Harper is gonna love pizza and ice cream, right?
I've reached the point where my DH has to tie my shoes for me if they come untied. I have to wear socks and some type of shoe (sneakers or flipflops with socks) all the time, I cannot go barefoot -- it is a mental thing. I can't go barefoot inside, but outside is fine, go figure. Putting on socks and shoes has became quite comical. I leave my shoes tied so I can pull them on but when they come untied, DH has to tie them for me OR if he is not here I take them off, retie them and slip them back on. I asked DH last night for one of those robot arm grabby thingys so when I drop stuff in the floor I can pick it up. He obliged lol. Also, I cannot sit on the couch anymore if I am home alone. I get stuck. Getting out of the bed is much easier to me than getting off the couch. That's all lol

There might really be something to that! It may just be a coincidence, but when I was pregnant with DD I puked every. single. time. I ate tomatoes. Like I would swallow and 2 seconds later it was coming back up. Raw tomatoes, pizza, spaghetti sauce, anything! And now she has a pretty bad tomato sensitivity. We can't feed her anything with tomatoes at all or she breaks out in a nasty rash. So weird!
1. I just spent over an hour at work writing thank you notes from my shower last weekend. My boss walked in while I was doing it and I really didn't even try to hide it. Shameless. 2. Today is "bagel Friday" where my coworker and I hit the bagel truck down the street (so good!). While there, I got an email saying there were donuts in the 37th floor kitchen. Stopped off on my way to my office to pick one up, what the hell. Then, 30 minutes later, walked through the 36th floor kitchen - MORE donuts. Couldn't let the first one get lonely (cc: @Aquinna82). Now I feel sick.
I'm so over work at this point. I'll do all of the stuff I need to for students, but I've decided that I'm not doing any extra show-pony sh*t for the district.

YES! Come over to the Dark Side. Let the hate fill you! I was wondering if I just had a super low tolerance for bullsh*t or if all the ridiculousness of working in a school was pushing others to their limits. There is only so much you can take. Make sure you relax this weekend and try to leave as much stuff at work and bring home the least amount possible.
