I’ve been using Halloween candy to bribe DS a lot this week. Normally if he’s not listening I just pick him up and put him in time out, or get him where he needs to be, etc. But obviously I can’t do any lifting or chasing, and I have to take it easy. So I bribe! Yep, he gets candy at 8:30 a.m. for getting his shoes and jacket on and getting in the car for school.
@brookert615 +1 for loving eggnog. I bought some this week and have been putting it in my coffee every morning.
Mine is that I had 2 cups of coffee yesterday. I normally try to be conscientious about my caffeine intake, but I really wanted a peppermint mocha and decaf wasn't an option. It wasn't as good as I anticipated. 😭
Went to get some pretzels from the vending machine for a snack and after getting them I noticed someone got a pack of skittles stuck. So I ended up with a 2 for 1 on skittles that I didnt even want right then. #Sorrynotsorry ETA I'm still really salty they swapped the lime skittles for green apple.
I guess mine would be that last night we ate dinner and then went to the mall so hubby could get something he wanted at a store. While we were there, I realized I was hungry again and I ate a whole 9" pizza and a Starbucks pastry by myself. Dessert, I guess?
I’m starting to worry about how much stuff we need for these babies. My shower is in a month and I know we’ll get some of the important things but I also know that people like to buy cutesy outfits and other less necessary stuff and I just want to say “can everyone just chip in and buy us like the essentials (car seats, bottles) and save the other junk for a birthday or something?”
DS and I made a "secret" stop at Starbucks this morning so I could get an eggnog latte. I totally fed him apple cider and a donut for breakfast which would never be allowed at home, but hey I'm sending him to school where someone else has to deal with how this affects his behavior... #badmomsclub
@Swiftlet that was my big fear too...I think people stayed away from clothes once I put out the "keep them gender neutral until we're more positive baby is a girl" because we only got a handful of onesies. I had a decent attendance (maybe 20 people) and still have like half the list left to buy of more essential stuff but it was helpful to have some of it taken care of!
@craftywitch Omg, eggnog latte sounds amazing!!! I also read that as "apple cider donut" and instantly want one? LOL.
I do have another confession. I have been "mean" to my mom and I feel awful for it. She keeps unintentionally pushing my buttons and I don't know how to control it. The last one was her suggesting our next child should be planned in the summer time so she shouldn't have to get the flu shot? And I kind of freaked out and was like "you were there when I was struggling and you know I can't just plan to have a baby to fit a schedule". She said she was kidding but I told her she can't joke around about that to me or anyone else - because it isn't cool. And then I went into it about how a flu shot is important every year, regardless. OYE.
@brookert615 she does realize that you’d still have an infant during flu season with a summer baby, right 🤦♀️
My confession is that I have been pretending to be constipated so that I can lock myself in the bathroom for alone time. Hormones are running rampant and I’m doing my best to manage them so that my family isn’t negatively impacted.
@doodleoodle Yep.. makes zero sense lol. Sorry about your hormones being crazy but it’s good to hear you’re getting a chance to chill and take a breather... whatever you got to do!
@daffodil_shoe Everything on there is stuff we really need (and fitting a variety of price ranges) but I know how much people like to buy newborn ball gowns and the like (kidding, but you get the idea).
