Not necessarily garunteed to be flame free. Especially after all the excitement we had this week.

Re: FFFC time!!
We aren't getting shit. Now bring me my cheesecake.
Note: I was a server for more of my life than not.
My FFFC is very tame, but I work from home and have a lot of family here...I plan on doing the bare minimum to get through the day.

BFP #4 Sept 2016: Due May 31 2017
My daycare is closed today and so is DH's office, and I didn't have much going on yesterday afternoon, so I was like i'll "work" from home today and then take a half day because we need to pack for an early morning flight tomorrow. And then my boss's boss called me at 7am, the second I signed on, with 3 different fire drill scenarios that needed to be dealt with immediately, and my boss is on PTO this week. Sigh.
I may have told him that these fire drills would take longer than they actually did, because I spent an hour with DD this morning opening gifts (Santa had to come for her last night since we'll be gone starting tomorrow).
As a result, I have done zero packing for myself of DD for a week away. I did recently start the laundry so I guess that's good? Tonight is going to be stressful. Especially since I didn't do my morning workout in favor of an extra hour of sleep. Need to fit that in too. Ugh.
My other FFFC is that my mother keeps insisting I "need" to tell my older brother and his wife that I'm pregnant and I have no intentions of doing so. They'll figure it out at some point. My SIL made some nasty comments to me while I was TTC like how she hoped I never had children because my children would steal attention from her children. Or how she really hoped that if I did get pregnant at some point it would be after she'd had #2 (even though I started TTC#1 before she started TTC#2) because it would be SO AWFUL for us to be pregnant at the time time because I'd steal all her attention. Oh OK thanks for wishing infertility on me. Really sweet of you. But whatever as long as I don't take your attention, right? She's pregnant with #2 at the moment with her EDD the second week of January. And there is NO WAY I'm telling her I'm pregnant at least until she has her baby and probably not even after that. And I totally don't even feel bad about it.

@namelessaria your SIL...sounds like THE WORST. Ugh.
I don't know anything about the Leacho pregnancy pillow, but I will post a shout out to the Leacho Infant Lounger pillow. it is like $60+ compared to the Boppy Lounger at half the price, but it's the best thing we owned when DD was small. And it is adjustable and deep enough that she couldn't figure out how to roll out of it for 8 months. That Boppy Lounger didn't even last 3 - as soon as she was rolling back to belly, it was over. Highly recommend Leacho Infant Lounger for registry purposes...we're considering getting a second one so we'll have one on each floor now that we'll be spending more time upstairs (we have a reno project going on where we are creating a bonus/playroom up there, and DD's big girl bedroom will be up there as well).
My confession is that I have no motivation and have done no work this morning. If I didn't have to hoard vacation time for my maternity leave, I would not be here.

hahahaha
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one running low on motivation today.
My stupid confession. I don't think I've eaten a vegetable since Sunday.
My DH adamantly wants to keep the tradition of Santa alive by teaching our kiddos about the North Pole, elves, reindeer, writing letters, leaving out cookies, etc., but I am having a hard time. I'd like to tell my kids from the jump that none of this is real, just like the Easter Bunny, but they should be respectful of other kids' belief in the jolly, gift giving man.
Andplusalso, as a Christian, I'm developing a growing concern over the focus at Christmastime in general. This forced gift giving seems to cause more stress and selfishness than is really called for.
ETA: I love Christmas! In case my content and tone suggest otherwise.
Flame away!

When my mom was pregnant with me, there had already been several grandchildren, including my older sister, born into the family, and all had coincidentally been given first names that start with the same letter. My parents were at a party and someone started going on about how ALL the grandchildren are going to have x letter names and it's a TRADITION and OF COURSE all the grandchildren MUST HAVE x letter names. To which my dad responded "this child will NOT have an x name."
It broke the cycle (after all, it had been pure coincidence). My parents had an x letter name tentatively picked out for me, but they didn't use it. No grandchildren since have had names beginning with that letter.

All I want to say is....
Ugggggh... complicated families who are being dicks are so complicated!!! All I want is a damn drink and I can't have one. I'll just mow down this plate of Christmas cookies instead.
eta - this should have probably gone on the bitchfest link......
