DH is starting his half sleeve tattoo next month and I can't help but wish he wouldn't. Not because I don't like tattoos but because I want to save money. But I told them this is his "daddy" present for the baby.
I love my mother but she can be overbearing and we argue a lot. We always have. She is obsessed with my daughter and wants to see her everyday. No. I can't take it. So when she texts me asking if she can come over, I pretend that I didn't get it and then play stupid when she asks me about it when I eventually do see her. For months she's been thinking that something is wrong with her phone because it "isn't sending out texts".
We are also sleeping separately currently. I've been sleeping on the sofa and it's soooooo much more comfortable. It sort of cradles my hips. And I can watch TV when I wake up and can't go back to sleep (which is often). My DH totally understands and we know it in no way reflects the strength of our marriage. I tried sleeping back in our bed last night and was tossing and turning until 11 and went downstairs and fell asleep immediately.
I get kind of bummed when at the end of an especially trying work day I can't have a glass of wine to unwind. Don't get me wrong, I am soo soo happy for the reason I can't, but at the same time I feel bummed. Then I feel guilty about being bummed and get mad at myself. Sigh it is a vicious circle.

I confess I did like to smoke a little pot before bed from time to time (and I do mean a little and always before bed) and I am definitely missing that level of relaxation and deep sleep right now.
My dad died very unexpectedly almost three years ago and my mom and I were, of course, devastated. Ever since then, my mom loves to play the martyr and constantly reminds me about how alone she feels even though my DD and I spend as much time with her as possible. I'm resentful that I don't get a ton of family time with just me, my daughter, and my husband and that we haven't had a proper family vacation without my mom tagging along. I also feel guilty for feeling this way, but I'm an on only child so my mom really doesn't have anyone else (except for her sisters and brother who do live pretty close by).
@OrangeEv - I've been hiding food lately, too. The way I look at it, I'm actually doing DH a favor because if he were to eat it, I would rip him a fucking new one.
I have one small mole on my face, out of which grows a single gnarly hair that I regularly have to pluck and that is the bane of my existence. Today, I realized that I hadn't plucked it in a while, so I took out a mirror, and it turns out the hair has gone gray. I don't know whether to be freaked out because OMG GRAY HAIR or pleased because a gray gnarly hair is significantly less noticeable than a dark brown one.

In the most shocking turn of events in my life, sweets do not sound good. Now that I'm finally hungry for the day the only I can think about is veg. I had brussel sprouts for lunch and I'm already excited for cauliflower with dinner.
ok, so not very flammable, but who the heck craves steamed cauli?
DS, who isn't even two yet has been eating sugar cereal every day for the last few weeks due to a pregnancy craving of mine when I went grocery shopping. I sent a pic of him eating Cookie Crisp to my mom and she freaked out on me.
I played hooky today and went to a museum with some friends visiting from the States. She brought me a box of Kraft Mac n cheese (she's my hero) and I ate 7/8 of the box for dinner. I am now in bed and will be asleep before nine. Night night! Zzzzzz.....
@SuperNerd42 I swear this baby is a vegetarian because NO MEAT sounds delicious. And I LOVE me some red meat, but any time I have it or any meat for that matter it makes me puke. All I crave is salads these days. Well, and lucky charms.
@artcheese ha! Same thing going on at my house. My son (2 in April) used to eat whole grain oatmeal (unsweetened) with bananas every morning... now his favorite breakfast is Kix Oh well.
@SuperNerd42 My first pregnancy, I craved spinach. Fresh. Canned. Didn't care. I was so excited every time my husband said he was making it for me.
This pregnancy I can't stomach anything even remotely healthy. Lol
Out of curiosity, were you anemic during your first pregnancy? Spinach is a really good source of iron and I'm wondering if the craving was your body was trying to get you some needed nutrients. I wish I would crave something healthy like spinach -- right now carbs and cheese seem to make my stomach the happiest (although I did manage to get the chicken and broccoli in my chicken broccoli ziti down today at lunch, so I'm proud of that). I have no desire to eat most vegetables and don't even feel like eating meat most of the time, which is odd for me.

I came home from work and poured out half a huge bag of tortilla chips, half a can of refried beans, taco sauce, olives, hot sauce, and Mexican cheese onto a cookie sheet and made the best damn loaded nachos I've ever had (I added guac when it came out of the oven). Of course I ate the whole thing... but most of the ingredients were organic, so it's healthy, right?
@simcal18 I'm not sure actually. I wasn't pregnant long enough to go to any doctor's appointments. But I've never been anemic in any subsequent pregnancies and I've never craved spinach again. So I guess it's possible.
Thanks to this thread, I already put bagels and cream cheese on my grocery list and I will definitely be eating them everyday for breakfast. I kind of want one for dinner now...

The only thing that has sounded good to me for the past week is salad. But not healthy, mixed-greens-and-vegetables salad. Nope. Ice berg lettuce, cheddar cheese and French dressing.
Also, I had McDonald's twice this week. Two days in a rough, specifically.
I try to limit fast food intake to once a quarter
Pfft! This week I had McDonalds for lunch then hubby suggested it for dinner and I had no hesitations in having it again....and that was after having it for breakfast the day before. Okay by the 3 time I puked and it got a time out, but still yummy going down.
I feel so terrible that I haven't wanted sex in any way lately that I'm laying here watching porn while my FI runs out to get my daughter from a rehearsal, in hopes it will get me in the mood for the deed! He has no idea and would probably be insulted but I literally can't get my brain to think about sex organically at the moment!
My not quiet 2 year old has car breakfasts probably 3-4 days a week. Cheerios in a baggie, a granola bar, fruit, anything portable all washed down with a sippy of soy milk. If I get a coffee or breakfast on the road, he sometimes gets hash browns. I COULD get him up early and have breakfast at the table, but no one wants to wake a sleeping toddler at 6:30am for breakfast before an insanely long day of errands and appointments.
I confess that I am currently winded from getting in bed and arranging the pillows and blankets. I literally sound like I just hopped off the treadmill.

I missed yesterday's FFFC, but after reading a few of you feeling guilty about a meal or 2 at McDonald's, I just have to confess. I've had a McDonald's egg mcmuffin nearly every day for the past couple weeks. They calm my stomach in the morning and I just can't stop! I'd make my own healthy version my I can't stomach the smell of cooking eggs. Maybe the guilt of typing it all out will break the cycle.
I'm going to dye my hair tonight. Just because I am going to be an old mom doesn't mean I need to look quite so much like one. And, maybe it will help me feel a little more like an actual human again. That would be nice.
These posts have made me feel so much better to know I'm not the only one ate Taco Bell this week. I also ate a chocolate covered donut yesterday and chicken wings last night. I did better today, but sometimes it feels like that kind of food is all I want/can stomach!
