AFTERNOON Randoms.

[agnes]

It's still morning for me.

Toledo get some protein in that mug!

I had a very therapeutic cry in my office lol. My friend had made a video montage for her 29 week baby. He is now 6. Anyways I have seen it before but I watched it today. He was near death a couple times and I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I mean it was sad/happy. But I feel like the cry was more of a physical release from the frustration I have been dealing with. Like it took me 20 minutes to compose myself and open my office door again.

I stopped and got a sausage and egg biscuit from McDonalds at 5:30am this morning after working out. Oh, plus a large Diet Dr. Pepper. I regret nothing.

[joyfull]

I should be cleaning but instead I am sitting here on the interwebs.

[luckyval]

I bought some asian trail mix at CVS and it is surprisingly good

I have back to back conference calls until 1pm. I'm hungry and I have to pee. NOT pleased. 

I still have no idea what time I have to be at the hospital for my procedure tomorrow and I'm getting cranky. 

I felt like I was sitting in a COM 101 class on my last call. Jesus people, are we all really that dumb? 

I am obviously in a very cranky mood.

I think I'm gonna make another smoothie. Both kids are sleeping. This is wonderful.

I start working on Monday and I am stoked. It's only 4 hours from the kids and I can't wait.

Dh and I will have a date night Saturday. First one in 11 weeks. Omg.

I STARTED MY PERIOD. WHAT THE HELL. This should not be happening. I am still breast feeding Also, this makes me even more paranoid about getting pregnant.

[lilybug]

Thanks to yesterday's depressing music thread, the kids and I have been rocking out to a whiny Elliott Smith and Iron & Wine playlist this morning.

After 3.5 years of being annoyingly enthusiastic about it, I am starting to hate cloth diapers. I'm not switching at this point, but ugh.

[pinkflats]

My boss is in the office for the first time today since last Wednesday. I have been hearing the Jaws themesong playing in my head all day. Yep, that's how it's going so far.

I want chocolate so bad right now, but I seriously want to lose like 5 pounds. Tough decisions.

[chchchia]

I am just sitting here reading random posts out of boredom and am amazed at some people's post count. I have been registered since November and lurked for awhile before that and just yesterday I hit 100. I was proud of myself until I saw someone has 26k.

[sugarbear]

I need someone to go to my tip question post and tell me what to do.

[melodramatic26]

1. I *think* my toddler is now potty trained. And my 6 mth old is sleeping through the night.

However, my toddler is going through the awful two/three year old tantrums and I feel like I walk on eggshells around her. I'm so scared of setting her off. And my 6mth old still won't roll from back to stomach for me- though I'm nearly certain she does at daycare. So in conclusion, at any given moment I either feel super awesome at parenting or like I totally suck and I'm doing it all wrong. There's no middle ground right now.

2. we picked out all of our house designs yesterday. All that is left is the lighting and paint colors. I'm trying to not overthink my selections today.

3. I'm so happy I only have to run 8 miles tomorrow. My 10 and 12 mile runs sucked. I'll cross the finish line of my 1/2 marathon, but it's not going to be pretty.

4. Saturday, dh and I have all inclusive tix for the Cardinals game. The girls are staying the night at my parents. I'm going to drink AND sleep in. I can't freaking wait.

I fucking hate my skin when it starts getting warm/hot out. The second I step outside I turn bright red/start to sweat profusely- people are always commenting on it and asking if I'm okay. Also i start getting acne in random places and no amount of bathing/exfolitating helps.

This makes me a thousand times more self conscious than I already am :/

I'm dying. I'm working through a terrible headache. It's almost a migraine. I can't call in and I don't wanna leave early. Lunch sucked. I barely ate anything for lunch. All the caffeine in the world hasn't helped. Excedrin hasn't helped. Motrin or Tylenol hasn't helped. I just wanna go to bed.

The bump fuckin' sucks. I tried to read the posts over there, but there are so many women who are like 21 with three children (which is fine if that's what you want to do with your life, but I just cannot relate), or who have five million tickers in their sig with four pictures, so scrolling through posts are ridiculous or who are talking about how many onesies they've already purchased since their BFP from two days ago.

I didn't touch the bump until we were going through the CF stuff, and we weren't telling people IRL, and I was about to explode!  And I admit I was a greedy poster, too, not really participating in discussions, just talking to people I liked and venting about my own crap.

The people there are seriously, seriously BSC as a complete generalization.  I also made good internet friends on it, though.

I was laying down and my tank was pulled up so my stomach was exposed. I saw it move in a way I've only ever seem while pregnant. It also felt like a baby moving.

Freaked out and dug out an old pregnancy test.

Not pregnant. I think it was gas. I can only confess this here.

:/

Yeah, I definitely don't recognize your name.

Lol. How so we knew how much we post? I post from the app.

I've been there! I didn't go buy a test but I immediately started counting and checking period dates. I'm an idiot. Like the baby MOVING is going to be my first clue that I'm pregnant!

melodramatic26, Emily still isn't rolling for me either. Not back to belly, or belly to back.
Pedi thinks she's just going to skip that milestone.

My almost seven month old doesn't do back to belly. If I put something behind him he will reach for it and kind of go on his side, but then flip back. I'm not worried.

I do need to give him more time on the floor though. I'm either holding him, saucer, or jumper. We should work more on sitting bc I need to spot him still.

I don't have a period, had to do fertility treatments to get pregnant, and have had sex like 4 times since he was born.

A further look into my insanity

[sugarbear]

Just going to ask this here, since Im running out of time. How much do I tip the people cleaning my house? They do not own the cleaning company and the actual bill is $300.

It hurts to walk and I feel like I'm about to give birth any minute. Obviously I probably won't, but it feels like it. I never had the bowling ball between the legs feeling with Sofia. 

Im starving but I have to wait 20 minutes for my curly fries to bake. 

[luckyval]

My mom made a snarky comment on my FB page about my car problems and H totally took the bait and engaged her.

Dood! I'm trying to have a pseudo-normal FB page, no family drama! I took both of their posts down

I'm coming up on my 10 year IF diagnosis. I was 16 when I was diagnosed. Interesting to think I might adopt a baby a decade later!

Also, sometimes I will have a pregnancy symptom and want to test "just in case"...until I remember I don't get periods. Um, duh.

this does make me feel better. I'm like "any day now kiddo. show me some sign that I've not completely neglected you" and nothing.

I wondered if it's ok if she skips it because I really don't think she's ever going to do it. She's just not interested in being on her belly. She constantly wants to be standing/sitting up or in her jumper. That's the only options with her nowdays.

All I want to do is eat. That is all.
