I just realized I got one of the girls' teachers' gifts and not the other set. A parent did a collection for one class and no one collected for the other and it totally slipped my mind. Today is the last day before break and the girls are already at ILs and I'm working. So it's actually too late. Crud.

I'm feeling like a crappy parent. Both boys have a holiday party today, I have hardly done any Christmas shopping, I've got school work that's due and I just feel so overwhelmed and unorganized. I'm usually a lot more involved with their classes, but it's been so hard this year with school and Lexi being such a busy body. Everything happens right around her nap time, and if she naps too late, she stays up super late. I'm so stressed about so much right now and I find myself randomly crying over stupid stuff. I'm ready for the holidays to be over.
Me too and my husband is one of them! He drinks the mountain dew one, too. And it really does keep him up forever. I finally (at 39) got him to try coffee and now he drinks it like once a week! Baby steps.
OMG....when people drink energy drinks while vaping, my head explodes.

vaping isn't a thing here yet but I would judge a young kid who did it but maybe not an older person - maybe it is their baby step to cutting the cigs and I can get behind anything to get you off the cigs
I am not a coffee drinker and soft drinks do nothing to help me wake up. When I was younger, sometimes a red bull was necessary.
I like those 5 hour energy drinks, I have only had maybe 3, but they worked for me.
On my wedding day I was overly worried I would be too exhasuted after the wedding to enjoy the wedding night (we waited until we were married). I made one of my bridesmaids DH's go find me a 5 hr energy to have just in case.

I park in the handicap parking spot sometimes at daycare.
Please, please, please don't do this.
Its not as flamable once I give the reasons. So I didn't write them at first. There are two handicap spots, and in the two and a half years we have been going there, I have never seen a handicap tag. So if there were a chance someone who actually needed it drove up, there is still a spot for them. And I have only done it two, maybe three times? But it made me think of PB and how flamable it is.
My ex once parked in front of a fire hydrant in NYC (I stayed in the car) and the restaurant we were in front of CAUGHT ON FIRE.
This isn't funny but I just laughed out loud.
I totally laughed about it at the time! I mean, what are the chances?! The firetruck was able to get to the hydrant and we were blocked in for HOURS. My ex was mad because he's an asshole but I was like 'THIS IS WHAT WE GET!"

I've done this once too. We have 2 spots and I've never seen anyone in the spots. The lt was full do I took the handicap. I was in and out in less than 5 mins.

I accidentally parked in a handicapped spot at the gym. AT THE GYM. When I came out and noticed, I immediately admitted I was a piece of shit. I mean, I really felt terrible! And I was also convinced someone has me on video parking in the handicapped spot walking into and out of THE GYM.

That's crazy! Was he inside when it caught fire? Was there chaos?

He was in a store or something. He didn't know until he came out and was all WTFFFFF. I had to laugh because I was always so mad when he parked like that. He did it a lot.

I wil have to bow out of the discussion early because we're driving soon, but sunshineluv, I understand where you're coming from but there's so many reasons not to.
If someone else happened to just park there that day too, both spots would be gone. And just because someone with a tag never parked there before, what if some family had an emergency and a relative with disability needed to pick them up? Also, number one reason being, it's not legal. I'm not specifically targeting you, of course, but parking in those spaces is really wrong. They're designated for a reason, and they should always be available even if there isn't a recognizable, immediate need. You never know when the need for the could arise and it'd be a shame for them not to be utilized by the people who need it.

I don't want to be flamed by cream! I am 100% confident I have never made it where someone who needed it couldn't use it. As I said there are two spots, I get where you are coming from and will keep it in mind. The statistical probability of two emergencies happening at the same time, or two people who need the spot to come in. in the 5 minutes I am there, is miniscule. There is a much greater likelihood I would get a ticket or be side eyed by another parent. There is also a pull through driveway where anyone with an emergency would go.
I know its flamable, but I also want to speak up for myself that I have not taken the ability to have a spot away from anyone who had a true need for it.
The malls I've been going to have new special spots for hybrid vehicles. Me and my Prius feel like badasses when we get to park there.
The aquarium here has spots for "fuel efficient vehicles." I always park there bc it doesn't specify HOW fuel efficient it has to be. And for an SUV my car gets decent mileage.
And then they have a bunch of spots to plug in your electric car and I have never ever seen anyone plug in their car

I have one. I still rock Lily to sleep for her nap. She snuggles me and I rock her a little and then just hold her till she's asleep. I know this is why she has a hard time taking naps at my MIL house. She falls asleep on her own at night (listens to music). I feel a little guilty but I miss her so much at work and those weekend days of pre-nap snuggles are special to me. Does anyone else still do this?
