I hit a wall of exhaustion this week. Frankly still having PGAL brain but everyone around me all excited by my pregnancy is exhausting. Like I wanna be excited and I'm outwardly excited but when I get home alone I just cry. The confession part is that I just stopped caring this week. The house is a mess. We're low on groceries. I haven't shaved my legs in a long time. I've just been sitting on the couch watching tv while the house gets dustier and more cluttered.
I ordered a salad last night, and wasn't crazy about the bleu cheese on it. I started picking off the cheese, then noticed a giant mosquito-like bug in the lettuce. When they asked what kind of salad it was, I didn't feel bad telling them that I had lost my appetite for the salad. I ended up getting something else I had really wanted instead AND got a refund.
I was late to work this morning b/c I overslept! I blamed it on traffic, but really I was too busy dreaming about cuddling with puppies! I guess b/c I read a story yesterday about a bachelor party adopting a stray momma and her pups!
I woke up with pink eye. It's going around my son's classroom and signs have been up for 2 weeks. I still sent my kids to daycare today because momma needs to save her sick time. They aren't showing any symptoms, so I don't feel too bad.
I am having Taco Bell for lunch again today - AND a Pepsi. Plus it's Halloween "food day" at work so when I get back I will most likely go eat desserts. No shame.
I kind of miss the Snark from the boards a few years back. I get wanting the supportive vibe, but sometimes I just want to be like "nobody cares that you feel like you're a super special snowflake....."
I think i'm just feeling snarky today and am having to try hard keeping it in check
Maybe my flame free friday is that I 100 percent do not miss the old snark. It was so bad when I was pregnant with DD that I had stalked a little to get to know the regulars, then watched them destroy any one new who tried to participate who wasn't as mean as they were.
I definitely think it was a group mentality thing, but they were some tough ladies, and I was not.
I avoid pediatricians in my kids' practice after they piss me off... One was totally supportive of our transitioning l to cow's milk early from breastmilk to avoid formula and two transitions. The next one told me she was way too young for that (she's almost 11 months and still getting BM too) and pretty much told me I was a terrible parent and I HAD to use formula... How is that helpful?!
I don't miss the snark because there were regulars who were just outright cruel and people supported them in the name of "honesty."
My confession is I hate Mondays and Fridays because they are preschool followed by speech. Everyone is ready to rest after preschool but we still have to truse on for another hour. Then I walk to the school up the hill twice. I'm too tired for that!
It's 3:30pm local time and I'm still in my pajamas. DS has gone from sleeping all night to refusing to fall asleep or stay asleep. I don't know if it's molars or some kind of separation anxiety phase but I'm SO done laying next to him for hours making sure he's asleep.
I miss a bit of the old snark/drama but I certainly do NOT miss the "regs" vs "newbs" thing. I came in sort of late to my last BMB and it was so hard to worm your way in. I do feel like the Bump in general is so much slower than it used to be...I used to not be able to keep up with all the threads and now it sometimes feels like a few days go by without much happening.
I have 2 confessions. One, my students took a standardized test today and in between wandering the room to monitor, I looked for jobs.
Two (I actually feel bad bout this one). Our school-wide behavior program involves "Fun Friday" every week for the last 45 minutes or so. Kids have to earn it and as a grade level, we trade off which classroom is study hall for those that didn't. I am study hall this month and I caught a girl eating skittles. I took them, forgot to give them back at the end of the day and then ate them on the way home.

I guess my FFFC is that I had a TINY glass of wine at dinner. Tiny. I wanted more but I would have felt bad.
Have the glass @virginialeigh it really does help that little craving for is. especially if you sip it slow
