Team Green!
I spent most of my day doing things other than work. Primarily, identifying what I need from amazon and how many baby wipes to buy. Lol. I want to place 1 more amazon order and be done. This is flameful because it’s only my 1st week of work but oh well.
@oklahomak, it’s such a time suck. I was updating our budgets and trying to do admin stuff. I love it because it makes me feel good but definitely isn’t work.
My work productivity is also at at all time low. I have a few weeks left in this temporary positions and have already completed all the work assigned to me. I have nearly no motivation to start anything else.
Today, my work plan is to write out my June to-do list, continue working on my third trimester to-do list, and come up with a list of quick and easy meals that my husband and kids will actually eat - and the grocery purchases to go along with that. So yeah, I'm productive...just not with actual work stuff!
I was annoyed with my H on Sunday bc the night before he said he’d make me breakfast in bed. Then he got up the next morning with the dogs around 7:30, so I waited in bed until 9ish assuming he was working on breakfast. NOPE, I had to send him a 🙄 emoji and he replies “Are you hungry? I can start breakfast.” He had literally just been laying on the couch. I was hangry at that point so I got up in a huff and ate cereal. My FFFC is that later, I went shopping at Target and bought two full priced maternity dresses (I only ever shop sales) and felt like that was payback.
Also, I check our registries all the time and have even looked at the thank you list to see who bought what. I know, I’m terrible. But, H’s grandma bought our pack n play months ago, and she’s a smoker so I’m worried about the carcinogens and smell if it’s been stored in her house all this time. Trying to come up with a plan for exchanging it if possible...
My 5 year old has been saying "oh shit!" A lot lately. The only reason I keep telling him not to is because he's going to school soon and I know it's a no-no there. Otherwise I probably wouldn't actually care. Also, he is using it correctly so at least theres that right?
DD threw about 10 Goldfish crackers on the floor at lunch...and I’m just leaving them there for DH to pick up when he gets home from work (or maybe for DD to eat when she’s wakes up from her nap 🤷🏻♀️).
@aecm the kids eat floor food at our house... not out in public but I figure they are all over the floors anyways its not like what ever is there hasn't already gone in their mouths...

So...I'm doing office work with another pregnant coworker who is also on light duties. Today, we complained about our cake craving, so much, that a coworker actually went out and bought us cake! (Probably just So we would stop complaining!😂 ) No regrets.
A close friend had her baby yesterday and she posted a close-up totally naked photo of him from the front. It took so much restraint not to text her and let her know no one needs to see her baby's genitals.
My work gives us a 4 day weekend memorial day weekend. We pay our nanny, even if we don't use her, unless it's a holiday, so I had her come. The plan was to be productive, but instead I binged The West Wing.
My FFFC: I had a tiny amount of wine yesterday to relax. It was such a small amount (like 2oz) and was shocked by how tingly it made me. My husband was the reason I did it so if my son ever asks, I’ll tell him it was his father’s fault.
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.

I had a dream last night that I drove my kids 4 hours to this restaurant that was a combo of chik fil a and Pizza Hut. It was so great in my dream that I woke up thinking I had this life changing idea that would make me rich. It took me a good hour of excitement while lying in bed to realize that’s the dumbest idea ever and only a pregnant lady dreams of pizza combined with chicken nuggets 🤷♀️
@chillycanadian OMG IT’S A JEANNE’S CAKE 😭😭😭. You have no idea how much I miss them. I’ve seriously been debating if it’s too much to ask my aunt and uncle to pack one in a freezer when they drive down and visit next month. It will be my birthday...
@olivemomma At my student union in college we had several mini-fast food stations that shared the same checkout. I would often get a Burger King burger and chic-fil-a fries... so I think it’s a great idea and not just for pregnant chicks!
Re: FFFC 5/24
Last night, I got up to pee for the second time and forgot that I had used all the paper the previous time. I used a hand towel & called it a night.
