Work is really stressful right now so our entire office has been binge eating halloween candy that my boss brings in. And then I still come home and bake cookies. So much sugar.
DS2 just excitedly listed off all the boys' Halloween costumes from his costume parade at school today--Captain Hook, an astronaut, ninja turtles, a jawa, General Grevious, a basketball player, Batman, etc. I asked him what the girls were dressed as. He responded, "oh they were mostly Elsas. But there were two Annas and one donut." For some reason the image of the one donut girl among the sea of Elsas and Annas is cracking me up.
I just relayed this story to DH, who said that when he dropped DS1 off this morning, there was a kid dressed as a slice of bacon among a sea of super heroes. Now we are hoping the bacon and the donut are soul mates. How cute would it be if they grew up and got married?
Confession: You know how some wives who stay at home complain that their husbands don't do shit around the house.
That's me. I work, DH is at home. I don't do much of anything anymore. I feel horrible about it. But I am so offing tired when I get home. I promised myself I would do some tidying tonight while DH is out. Nope, started a bit but then stopped to have dinner and never got back to it.

I missed the story the first time around but just chuckled out loud. Donut girl!
Related confession: we will definitely need to cut our retirement contributions down to pay for a second child in daycare unless we both get promotions. I am always in disbelief that people think this is such a worse case scenario.
I will probably post a CTJ budget on MM when the time comes. Spoiler I will be told that I can't vacation three times a year, buy tons of crap, pay for two kids in daycare, and contribute heavily to retirement / 529s on our income
I refuse to post my budget and be told all the things I am doing wrong. I know I am doing things wrong. I don't need to hear it from other people, lol.
Our current life choices will mean that by September 2016 we will have two kids, no more savings and our budget will be so tight we likely won't really be able to save anything significant for several years (retirement doesn't count, we put 11% of our pay into our pensions anyways). The only thing I can say that makes me feel mildly better is that if I do it right, we will still come out with no cc debt (we currently don't have any). DHs student loan will be paid off by then too but we will have two car loans. And we don't go on vacation period. Well, other than the cottage.

Omg, I am that spouse.
Meh you are pregnant.
This is EXACTLY what I tell myself.
And to be completely honest, DH is amazing, he hasn't complained at all. He does so much and for that I am grateful.
I love you guys, thank you. We're at the airport and on the best flight We can be on to get home.
What sucks is that if we would have known the severity an hour earlier, we'd be on an earlier flight. We're so far away, it just sucks. Good thing is she had a cereal bar about two hours ago and she's kept it down. DH almost cried at the delta counter. He's such a good daddy, it's hard for me to keep it together.
I'm trying to hold back because DH is on the edge and it's not productive but I know that his mom held back on telling us so we wouldn't worry.
No. Let me decide when to worry about my child. If we had know, we would have come home days ago, without question.
@starry the only vacations we've had since E was born were paid for by my parents. They always pay for the beach rental and then we chip in for food and alcohol for the week.
I'm in bed. Exhausted. My craving for WCM is back again. It's pretty filling though so then I didn't want dinner. I want to sleep until Monday at least.
Oh holly116, I'm just now seeing this. I'm so glad your daughter's been able to keep a cereal bar down and that you guys were able to get an earlier flight. I can't remember is your MIL down in Cinci with your kids or are they up here at your ILs? If they're up here and your MIL needs anything before you guys are able to get to them, please please please let me know. Hugs to all.
Hugs holly116. Hope your little girl starts to get better.
I just got done working out and I peed my pants. Damn bikini body mommy!
In the checkout lane this afternoon I farted and lately my farts are stiiiiiinky. No one was behind me so it was all good...until a lady chose our lane and stood right behind me. I blamed it on DD. "Oh, I think you're stinky. We need to change that diaper."
Vent: I have no time for my little brother's problems. He moved to one of the most expensive cities in Canada and is now complaining about finding housing (more to due with having a dog than cost but I am sure cost is an issue). You should have foreseen this. I have no compassion.

holly116. Glad you got an earlier fight and your little girl is feeling better soon.
@msstarry. Saving is over rated- vacations create lasting memories. I say this as H and I are contemplating going to Mexico for a week 4 weeks before we will be spending a week skiing in Utah. Probably will not be our best mm decision.
There is a post floating around FB from a neighboring county's sheriff that says, "It is crucial to know which houses to avoid when trick-or-treating. Check the sex offender registry by clicking here."
Really? REALLY?
This has never crossed my mind. It seems like an overreaction.
This was shared by the same person who posted yesterday:
"I don't like friend requests that give me an uneasy feeling"
then, in the comments, she clarified,
"it's no one I know, nor do I care to know." and "It was someone of muslim descent. Given what is going on in the world today, it makes me uncomfortable."
What.the.actual.motherfuck?? a. it's probably a spammer if it's someone you don't know (and you share shit on FB constantly and play 8 million online games), and b. muslim is not a nationality, and c. if, by a longshot, it is a terrorist who happens to also be a muslim, what are the chances that he is targeting you, in bumblefuck of the midwest, by friending you on facebook?
N said "Where's my god damn milk" at daycare last week, and has been chanting "god dammit" all this week.
That is so amazing. You should be proud he is using it in context!
I'm actually really, really surprised it took him this long to say fuck it. (He did say dammit at least once when he was 2ish). DH asked him where he heard it and he told him YOU, lol.
DCP was in too much shock/hysterics to reprimand him, too. He's used it in context several times since then and I die every time, I guess the confession part is that I reeeeally want to get it on video and am trying to decide if it will be inappropriate to post on IG.
I totally asked N who he heard say it since I'm 99.99999% sure it came from FIL, but he wont reveal his source.
I'm drinking wine out of a coffee mug. I told H I wouldn't drink out of solidarity this week (he's running the marathon on Sunday), but I just got to thinking... A) he drank my entire pregnancy, and B) I fucking hate the marathon.
So, secret wine. He's not even home, but I don't want to listen to the whine of he's sees a wine glass in the dishwasher.

I do this too, lol. My H is sometimes like "wine again?!" and I just don't want to hear it.

EXACTLY! I was home allllll day with a toddler-terrorist. You're lucky I'm not smoking crack and blowing the fumes into the vents, H.
