FFFC 11/9

Let's hear it ladies. 


People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

How I feel all of the time.

    @chichiphin After my first cycle TTC (before I knew about BBT and tracking O) I had convinced myself that my period was implantation bleeding and POAS.  Spoiler alert...it was negative.  In my defense, my period was lighter than it had been on BCP.

    @chichiphin no judgement from me either, I’ve 100% POAS during AF “just in case”...multiple times

    I'm trying to think of any reason that's remotely believeable for me to call in sick today so I can sleep. I would be really screwing over my co workers and the two new girls I hired.

    I'm so glad for my SIL who just got engaged this week but I confess I'm annoyed that they've decided to get married in Canada over the weekend before Christmas, so basically Christmas, because we will have to drop our other plans and go to their wedding on short notice...

    In college, my best friend was responsible for entering the "date list" into the student newspaper:  a little cute announcement saying "Sorority X proudly invites  (names here) to our winter formal" (totally cheesy, but everyone did it).  She WOULD always let fake names slip through.  Like Kenny Chesney, Zachary Morris, Luke Skywalker, etc.  It sort of became a running joke.

    Oh, thought of one:  I love to look at what people are working on when on their laptops. (Airplanes, coffee shops etc). So if you sit next to me on a plane, better get a privacy screen!  But seriously, I don’t read for details, just love trying to figure out what someone does for living /fun.

    I was dogsitting for a neighbor in high school who had a son my age. I thought I'd go upstairs just to peek in their son's room (not to actually go through anything, just wanted to see what it looked like! When I got to the top of the stairs, the first door to the right was closed so I decided I'd peek in that one then go back downstairs. I opened the door a little, but there was something behind it (like a door stop but on the inside) that made me nervous to open it too far. I peeked in and it definitely looked like a teenage boy's room. Then I ran out of there as fast as I could and I've been convinced ever since that the door stop was put there as a trap to see whether or not I would snoop around his room. I will never know whether he found out!

    @chichiphin Not bad, not bad! I’ll give you some props for that. No shame in a good pie! I bet it tasted like Autumn. 🍁

    @chichiphin there is no such thing as too much pie.

    Confession- I just faked having a headache because I'm in a bitchy mood and just wanted to pout alone in my room.
