Aw, I feel ya @chelsmonster. It's easier for me when my kids gravitate to "boy" things since they are girls. But on the flipside, I can see your hesitation. Maybe let him paint his toenails in sparkly Doc colors

We got the all clear from the doctor after my husbands V, but it has been a busy week & the last thing I want to do after bedtimes is be touched. We have been looking forward to no condoms for almost 3 years so I am hoping I snap out of it soon.
I feel really guilty. We went to get some sandals for L yesterday to take to Florida with us. They had a bunch of Disney flip flops including Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Sofia the First, and Doc McStuffins. The Doc and Sofia ones were pink and purple with flowers and glitter. L really wanted the Doc one. I kept redirecting him to the Jake one He really likes Jake so he was happy with them, but he loves Doc. I feel like a bad mom. Ugh. I mean, I obviously don't care if people think he is a girl, and I got him a Doc doll for christmas...I don't know. I really wish stupid gender stereotypes in society weren't a thing, because I don't care if he wants to play with doll or loves the color pink and whatnot, but it got in my head in the moment that people would comment. We are going to stay with my grandparents in Florida, so I think that probably had a lot to do with it...they are very old fashioned and my grandfather made a comment about L's hair last time...something about needing to be short because be was a boy. Blah.
I did this this summer with a Minnie mouse suitcase. I talked him into the cars one instead. He loved the cars one sure but every. single. time we are at target he finds that Minnie one and tries to drag it around the store. He does have several Minnie stuffed animals though!

It was a really rough night/morning here, and A has preschool today. I'm sending her, and C is still sleeping, so if he doesn't get up soon, I'll be taking him in his pajamas to drop off. I never do this, and I have no why idea why this fills me with guilt, but I can't find it in me to give a fuck today.
I feel like a hobbit because I totally had 2 breakfasts this morning. I came down and had some toaster waffles then when the kids had breakfast I had a bowl of cereal. I could totally eat something else. Lol. I haven't been this hungry in weeks.
toaster waffle and one bowl of cereal is not really two breakfasts!! Have at least three more breakfasts.
pregnant people need to eat more, MORE I SAY! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! lol
I really wanted cake last night so DH got a tiny one at Wegmans. I gave L a little piece after dinner and scraped off half the frosting. I pretended it was so she wouldn't eat at much sugar but my real motivation was that I wanted more frosting.

I ate a home wrecker burrito at Moes yesterday, and totally could have eaten another. I followed that up with a pumpkin roll (not a slice, the whole roll) and a can of Mountain Dew. I need to do something about my eating habits pronto. I feel like all of my confessions are food related. Probably because they are.
Non food related: I'm going bridesmaid dress shopping with my sisters today at a place 1.5 hours away. The sister who lives near me wants to ride up together because she doesn't like to drive long distances, and I'm internally being really bratty about it. I wanted to do my own thing afterwards, and not have to worry about what someone else wants to do, or when someone else wants to leave. And she's more of a go in, get your shit, and leave type shopper, whereas I like to wander and stop everywhere and take my time when I shop without kids. But, I can't say that to her, so together it is. I feel bad that I am thinking about this so negatively. But, but, but... Alone time!
People with no elevator etiquette should be publicly shamed.
Elevator etiquette is so weird here (in the south). Sometimes there are 8 men on the elevator, and me in the back, and they will all awkardly make room for me to get off the elevator first. I appreaciate the intent behind it, but sometimes I am like, just go in front of me, I will not be offended, I promise!!!

No shame. Wegmans frosting is the BEST. And not for children, lol.

I have been annoyed at Doc McStuffins. for awhile. It's such an awesome gender neutral show and topic yet they have to make it pink and sparkly all the time. I wish the show and merchandise was marketed towards boys and girls, because I know a lot of boys like the show.
This week is Spirit Week at A's school. Today was pajama day. As I was getting ready to put her jacket on, she started yelling and fake crying about not wanting to wear the (clean) pajames I had put on her. I told her if she wore the pajamas to school, she could have the tablet when we got home.
I hear you, @chelsmonster. M has been carrying around Hallie Hippo and Lambie figurines since Christmas, and in the back of my mind I am always worried about the comments I may have to endure. Even though I don't care one bit if he wants to play with "girly toys". Stupid gender stereotypes.
Speaking of elevators, I have been extra judgmental lately. If you're an able bodied person and only going up/down one floor, take the stairs RIGHT NEXT TO the elevator. You'll be at your destination before the elevator even gets to you.
I also have a cake one, daniel was begging for some cake just now, I gave him a bowl of raisins and shooed him to the living room so I could shovel a couple (ok maybe more than a couple) bites in as quickly as possible.

/judgement
Yes!
At the mall they have escalators right next to the one elevator. People always get pissy if I don't try let them in. I just move to the side for them to see the massive double stroller and they snidely say I guess we'll have to wait for the next one. Dude, walk 8 more feet and there's a magical moving staircase calling for you.
