DH & I are taking my birthday off - I'm turning 40 on a Monday, but we are still taking the girls to daycare and doing fun stuff. Don't know what yet, but fun stuff.

Not a confession. Day dates are awesome, we have them regularly

I am "working from home today". Well I started strong, but when I took C to daycare at 7, my check engine light came on, so I dialed blue link to find out it was some malfunction with the shifter lever? Aparantely it is already recalled and I missed it. So at 9:30 I had to take my car to shop to have it switched out... the dealership is in the mall parking lot, so I spent 1.5 hours wandering the mall in peace while it was repaired. Since I was out, I went grocery shopping in peace as well... with out all the "maaaaammmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaa cooooooooookkkkkkkies!". I have done like 2 minutes of work since 7 am....

Brag plaint, I suppose: think I'm just a bit touched out from being with the baby all day, but DH is really up in my space. As soon as he comes home it's s constant "what can I get? What do you need? I could have done that for you!" It's all well-intentioned, so I would feel like a bit of an ass saying that I need quiet and alone time.
I think this is a flameful, but would it be so terrible to cheat on my GD diet for dinner just this once? I'm tired, been alone for 4 days, and just want delivery pizza.
@supergreen I don't know a lot about GD but I do know as with all diets it is easy to "cheat" again once you've done it once.
This is, sadly, true.
I'm not 100% sure how the GD diet works. Do you count carbs at each meal?
Because, hypothetically speaking, I might check the nutritional information for delivery pizza and see if a slice or two of thin crust with veggies would be within your range allowed for a meal. Hypothetically.
this is not really a confession, more of a vent. I have had so many damn mood swings this month. Fuck clomid and TTC man. Yesterday and Wednesday I was riding high, today has been horrible. For no explicable reason even. I am scared of what the next month and future months will be like if we keep upping the dosage.
I realize the point of those group painting with wine places is not to create amazing works of art, but if I want to get drunk with my friends I don't want to pay extra to take home some ugly ass painting. They are all universally awful.

This is not a confession. This is a fact.
To make it even worse, they're often seasonally themed. Who wants to hang up a (horrible) painting of a Christmas tree or a field of pumpkins?
I'm a vacation snob and find it really hard to get excited for domestic vacations. Which is dumb because I know there are a lot of cool things in the US, it just doesn't feel like a true vacation to me unless I'm worried about passports, vaccinations, exchange rates, another language, etc. Everything else is like a weekend trip, which for some inexplicable reason is just not the same.
But Tejas is a republica independiente! So by that token, every time you cross state lines, you are traveling to another country in my mind.
I'm barely trying today. DD2 has a fever. DH is out of town until well after bedtime. There will be lots of Disney Jr./PBS Kids today and pizza for dinner.

I have never heard of one of these events, but inexplicably, it is making me think of George W's painting career.

They're even worse.
I am qualified to make this judgment, because I have a lot of FB friends with very questionable home decor taste who have posted group pictures of their wine & canvas outings, and I also watched a cringeworthy segment on the Today Show in which Jenna Bush Hager interviewed her dad about his art.

I saw some on CL the other day for sale at like $30 bucks a piece. I felt bad even bringing mine to Goodwill.

Pizza was sadly the one thing I couldn't ever eat if I wanted my numbers to stay in range, even with portion control. Which let's be real - if all you can have is *maaaaybe* two slices of thin crust veggie pizza, is just not worth it when it comes to pizza.

And pugz, yes I count carbs for each meal. I could stay within my carb guidelines if I had one small slice of thin crust. Not much of a dinner.
BUT, I texted DH and asked him what he thought about cheating just this once. He said "I think that’s okay just once. But how about we make that the last time until baby girl’s birth? I’ll be back home from here on out and I’ll cook whenever you’re tired from now on! sound good? But I think it’s okay once. You’ve been doing so good otherwise."
(heart) (heart) A sweet, kind, helpful AND compassionate answer.
also I am finally getting my vivofit set up. I've only had it for a year, lol. But DH is getting 10000 steps with a fucking desk job. I want to see how many I get chasing around a toddler and running around a hospital.
I don't know how to drive dh's car (a manual Accord). He's teaching me tomorrow. We've owned it for 8 years.
I don't know how to drive Mr.Kirkette's stick shift Jetta. I played dumb, and cried, when he tried to teach me in grad school. So, he gave up on me learning. #sorrynotsorry we live in a hilly area, and I have no intentions of stalling out, or rolling backward. I have no plans to learn how to drive any of his cars, or how to learn to be an effective parallel parker.
I've finally decided that it's time because I'm the official car seat installer, we only have one for each kid and I'm crazy sick of moving them back and forth.
I've had 3 days vacation this week. I sent the girls to Creche each day. Got my hair done yesterday. Today I played badminton, called to my SIL for a coffee, had a friend call over for lunch and then I created this for the girls' bedrooms:
Now that I don't have to hoard my leave anymore to pay for maternity leaves, I'm planning on taking every other Friday off just because. If my workplace won't offer a legit 9/80 schedule for attorneys, then I'll just use a legit way to make it happen for myself. I've gotten too used to having free weekdays to get stuff done. It's been awesome.
