I was saving this glazed donut for a snack, but DH gave it to the kids to split as a treat. I went to get my donut and had ridiculous emotions over the fact that it was gone.

DH had the shutters on our house painted the color I wanted while I was away helping my dad. It was a great surprise to come home to and it was so thoughtful I cried.

DH and I went out to lunch on Monday. When we were leaving her backed into a car that was trying to pull into the space next to us. VERY mild fender binder...but sent me into a sobbing fit. Freaked out the DH since he didn’t know why I was crying lol and I didn’t really know why I was either 😂
I we use googles chat program at work and I received 3 requests within a 10 minute period. I’ve handled 10 requests in a 5 minute period before (which is high for what I do.) I just couldn’t think straight and the chiming noise it makes got to me. Had a nice little sob feast and got down to business! 🤣
I cried last night cause I couldn't get my 2 earrings out of my ear cause the backing was stuck and jammed. 😆 Full on meltdown trying to yank them out LOL
Ok my reasons for crying are actually legit and I’d probably be crying this week if I wasn’t pregnant. Just a lot going on. 2 year old has her molars coming in. We’re in week 3 of potty training and she still consistently holding her poop and in pain because of it. THEN to top it off she figured out how to climb out of her crib so we had to transition to a toddler bed. It’s been a rough one.
@kaw726 OMG those stupid 2 year molars! My little one is getting hers too. I have no patience for what has ensued. Good luck with crib transition! Have you tried the book everybody poops? Or Daniel Tigers episode on the potty? It helped us so much.
@kaw726@ramzlau those stupid 2 year molars! We are on our last one thankfully.
I have been crying today because I am so tired. Instead of sleeping my in-laws are here and it is pouring rain, but they won’t come in my house so everyone is on the porch. I am laying in my bed though until someone decides to come find me.
@klj0228 why won’t your in-laws come inside your house?
My FIL is allergic to cats and we have three. Plus, they are germaphobes and think any house with inside animals is unsanitary. They come in on Christmas morning and have brunch, but that’s it. And even then we clean our house top to bottom and move all rugs to our basement.
@klj0228 wow!! Your in-laws sound very anal lol that's weird they think any house with animals is unsanitary 🤨 I have animals. They would hate my house too 😆
@klj0228 wow you in laws sound like a lot. They would avoid my house like the plague. I’ve got two cats and a puppy. My house is never white glove clean 😆

@mindyb2019@Maggie1202 our house never white glove clean either. The positive thing about it is that they never overstay their welcome. 🤷♀️ I think it’s a little strange because I grew up in a fairly small house with 3 dogs and 3 kids. I have learned it is how they are no matter where they go and try not to be too offended.
What worked for us was a combo of diet (avocado, olive oil, berries, whole wheat toast, beans) to make it harder for 2 year-old DD to hold onto her poop for days and then several books on poop to help her understand what was going on (where’s the poop? I don’t want to go to the toilet, Softie the Poop). She’s a big bookworm, so leaning into her how she liked to learn helped.
@kaw726 still figuring out how to reply to a specific post, but my thoughts were for you on potty training and poop! It’s a whole new level of using the toilet
@llamamamawearspajamapants haha I saw the poop advice and knew IMMEDIATELY it was for me 😂 we’ve done all the diet changes but I just also ordered some books! It breaks my heart, she’s clearly in so much pain from holding it but just won’t let it go
@kaw726 remind me again how old potty training LO is? Sometimes it just takes them a little while to be comfortable with pooping in the potty. DS struggled for a long time and then ended up being diagnosed with encopresis.

I ordered an egg Mc muffin this morning with Ham on it and they F*ucked up the order and just put egg on it and now im crying lol I really wanted the meat 😥 god hormones suck lol
@mindyb2019 I feel you! The food disappointment is real. I cried over wilted lettuce yesterday. I was craving a salad with Italian dressing and absolutely lost it when I saw the lettuce we had just bought was already old.
@artsiefartsie The food disappoint is soo real! I legit feel like a 2 year old crying over something stupid and having a meltdown Lol. Sorry you cried over wilted lettuce.
I have been binging old episodes of Friday Night Lights and cried over a scene. Then, once I had calmed down, I looked down at the baby monitor at DS sleeping and cried over how beautiful he is.

I was watching the Bachelor Canada on HBO (😂) and the dude’s mom was comforting him and I imagined my boys as grown men trying to figure out life and love and I started sobbing.
@mindyb2019@artsiefartsie I have been in tears or on the verge of tears a couple times this week because I know I want something delicious to eat but I either can't pinpoint what or can't figure out how to easily procure it. The other night my husband caught me tearing up and then proceeded to walk away when I told him I was really sad we didn't have any honey mustard sauce.

@mindyb2019, @artsiefartsie, and @legallykate I cried over a leftover chicken sandwich I have in the fridge that DH ate when I was about 7 months pregnant with DS. I had been putting the crib together for hours just thinking about rewarding myself, and I was beside myself.

@doubleup8 my H is bad about eating whatever leftovers are in the fridge. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, but every once in a while there is something in there I really want. I now stake my claim on things I am certain I want to eat later.
I cried yesterday because I want to be able to stay home and work since I’m so sick, but things are so hectic and I’m having to support someone else doing a role they don’t normally do. She has told me twice this week I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t here. Yesterday she was out and the normal person was in and said something about I should be at home since I was miserable. I lost it.
It wasn't crying, but nearly ripped my husband's head off. I took a turn driving home the other day, and after I merged on the highway there were a lot of trucks. He made a comment about how I should get out of a truck's blind spot (said something else, but I can't remember what) and I nearly pulled the car over to ask if he'd prefer to drive (the guy had just driven for 6 hours). Instead I snapped asking him "WHICH truck?!?!?!". He wisely stopped commenting on my driving until our next pit stop.
@akoros oh man, I don't even have to be pregnant to be irritated when my husband starts becoming of a backseat driver! We're going for a long drive today and with my hormones, I might actually dropkick him out the passenger side. Or start bawling, who knows. Edited to add that I love my husband and I'm not really homicidal haha
@klj0228 oh it sucks being that mad at work. Have you told them yet?
I enjoy the anonymity of co-workers not knowing yet. On the other hand these are tough times and they can’t even try to accommodate what they don’t know.
I watched American Murder: The family next door and I cried for 2 days. We watched it before bed and I literally sobbed myself to sleep and then every time I thought about it the next 2 days I cried.
@llamamamawearspajamapants I have told my office mate and my boss. So they aren’t in the total dark and have offered to allow me to wfh on the worst days, but I feel like I am causing more stress for others if I’m not here so I suck it up.
@klj0228 that's so hard. I know I am itching to tell people, especially as we start planning programs for 2021. It is so hard to bite my tongue when people suggest me helping with projects over the summer. For now, I just nod and smile. Once we have the NIPT, I plan to tell my whole team at work.

@DoubleUp8 completely understandable wanting to wait a little longer. You should have results soon, right? I am looking forward to sharing with everyone, but also kind of enjoy having a secret.
