I want to know if something is flameful. My coworker gave me the stink-eye about something that I don't think is flameful, but maybe he's right:
I mentioned to my coworker something about typing a text while in the car, but I told him I was in stop-and-go traffic, and only typed when my car was at a full stop for a long period of time. I thought I was being responsible about it. He says that having your phone in your hand at any time while behind the wheel is judge-worthy. Also, just FYI, that was the only time I've done that. I'm not even much of a texter.
Flame worthy?
I don't think it's flame worthy if you're not moving. I text when I'm stopped at a light and then my phone goes back in the cup holder once I start moving. :^)
We are going to a cake tasting tomorrow. I hope my cake is good since it will be gluten free and vegan. I am thinking it will also be vanilla since my sister is allergic to chocolate. That tier of cake is going to be the allergy/vegan friendly cake. I am sad that I don't get chocolate though.
We had a small cake for DH that was gluten/dairy/wheat free for him since he is allergic to all of those things. When we went cake tasting, I tried some to see if we would go with the entire cake that way. I found it to be disgusting, so we went with cupcakes for me and everyone else.

It's not flame worthy to me, but there was a case in CA where a guy was checking the map on his phone and still got a ticket.
is this YOUR cake? for some sort of occasion? (wedding?). who cares about your sister.
It is the cake for my wedding. I feel bad though. I have a lot of allergies and it sucks when I can't eat certain things, especially dessert. Maybe I'll have a regular tier lemon or something non chocolate for her and any other people that don't want chocolate cake and make "my" tier chocolate.
For our wedding, we ended up getting 3 different flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, & Marble) that way everyone got something they enjoy. Can you do something like that?

DH enjoyed it though.
I hope I enjoy mine. I can't have gluten, dairy, eggs, or honey. One of my sisters is vegan(the other is allergic to chocolate) and my BFF is allergic to eggs(and poulty) and my dad's gf can't have gluten or dairy either. :/

Yeah, we could probably do something like that. I'll probably do the gluten free/vegan in chocolate, a lemon or vanilla, and a chocolate rum.
I need help finding a dress but I didn't want to make a whole post for it because the dress is for a funeral and it'll look like I care more about the dress than my grandfather who passed away. That's not the case at all but I can't go naked so I need a dress. Hopefully one that manages this post baby pooch thing in a respectable way.
Sometimes I sort of regret having a kid. Obviously, I love Joanna more than I can say, she brings me tons of joy, can't wait to see her at the end of the day, blah blah, but ... I miss doing the things I used to do, going out with H, staying up late WITH H. Doing whatever I wanted on the weekends or nothing at all. I know this is somewhat temporary and that I will have more freedom as she gets older but it is pretty depressing right now.
I also think about how I used to shop for myself a lot, and now I have this problem (lol) where it is easy to buy stuff for her, but I have a hard time splurging on personal items for myself. I remember looking online and being like "I think I will buy myself a new purse" or "I think I will buy this new pair of sunglasses" or "I am going to buy some shit at this Banana sale!" Now, I need new clothes, I need to get my hair did... but I have a hard time pulling the trigger on anything. All the individual adult items cost more than individual kid items, so that even though the kid stuff adds up, it's easier to spend a little on it here and there. It also makes it harder to spend on myself because I am like $70 for one dress??? No.
I mean, I guess I did just buy a house. lol
Jesus I am so boring.
Also, I am exhausted. Like, not in a needing to sleep way. You know what I mean?
This is me verbatim
And I feel guilty about feeling bogged down with the kid because we get a night without him at once a month, sometimes more.
I miss lazy Sundays when I could watch Charles Kuralt on TV instead of Team Umizoomi

I'm kind of bummed because I have to go to a work seminar in NYC on my birthday next week. I'll be in boring meetings all day and I won't get home until late so I won't be able to go out with H. I know it's not that big of a deal, but I'm kind of disappointed.
i think BIL took my mix cd's the @lightbulbsun and walterismydog made me when he borrowed the car. I went to try and listen to them and both were gone. I'm sad. H said that it's been too long to ask him, but if H didn't take them, and I left them in the CD player, where else could they have gone?
i judge my acquaintance. she gets professional pictures taken of her, her husband, and their kid EVERY SIX MONTHS. for 3 years now (counting her maternity pictures, that's SEVEN professional photo shoots in 3 years). and then she posts all of them on FB.
i've totally stalked the photographer's website. it's $250 just for the session, and then you have to pay for the prints/rights. they're not friends (well, perhaps now they are, ha ha) or family, so likely not a discount.
**WAIT, i just double checked. she had newborn, 3 month, 8 month, and 1 year pictures. so that's TEN sessions.**

passive aggressive turd.
I don't think it's been too long, but I'm happy to send you another copy if you want!

Today my client looked over at me as I was taking another chug of water to try to keep myself upright (I'm still having head rushes everywhere, wtf?) She looked away and said, very seriously, to herself, "Miss Stacy likes to DRANK a lot, WHEEEOSHH" and shook her head. Lost it.
"You. You and your crazy life. You and your geographic anomaly. You and your drunken lesbianic ways and terrible navigational skills." - ProfArt and her holy baby
LOL tamb she doesn't have ADD. she is a perfectly normal 1 year old.
The good news is over a couple years you will get so beat down that you won't even remember what the old life is like anymore.
Beat down isn't really the right phrase. The busyness becomes the new normal and you grow a tolerance.
This weekend after taking the boys to the flower shop I told H I couldn't leave the house for the rest of the day. I just couldn't get myself to get all of us out the door again. It is just easier to stay home lol. Kid's have made me a social recluse.
Also is it flameful that I fully consider my 1 year old a calorie burner. Like all the time instead of you know picking him up because I am a good mom I am thinking "Oh yeah good squat carrying the 20 lber. Feeelll the buuuuurnnnn" So the good news about having nutty kids that are all over the place is that they are good for your physical fitness lol.
I have a cold and can take next to nothing due to being pregnant. My nose is so stuffed that my eyes are watering down my face. I sooooo badly want to take 2, just 2! squirts of nose spray to relieve myself for awhile. It cannot be that bad, can it? And now my chest is full and it feels like someone is sitting on top of me. boo!!!!

I always hold the baby when I'm doing squats because it's like holding a 12 lb weight, so it burns more calories. Plus it puts him to sleep. Win-win, haha.

I would judge this as well - I guess if you have the money that's great. But who needs all those pictures?
A) she doesn't have ADD (well, if she does it's waaaay too soon to tell);
B) this will become more normal and you'll like it more as she grows more independent. her current age is rough because she's too little to ignore, but too active just to loll around nearby;
C) you are perfectly normal for wanting a free and easy carefree kid life;
D) the exhaustion (the mental exhaustion) is also normal (i still get all like harumph about how i have to think about what my kid is going to eat EVERY SINGLE DAY. ugh. i don't even think about what i am going to eat for a snack, but i have to be all balanced meals and serving them on time so she doesn't freak out and blah blah. AND I DON'T EVEN DO THE COOKING MOST OF THE TIME. i'm just "in charge" of thinking about it because my husband is lame.)
ETA: E) my kid has only started snuggling again for longer than 45 seconds in a way that doesn't cause me acute physical pain in some fashion in maybe the last couple months. maybe. and still about 75% of the time at some point her REALLY FUCKING POINTY elbows end up poking me in a boob/arm/leg/stomach/eye.
Leo has started the back bend throw a fit thing. Like he whips it back and it takes everything in me to not drop him. And he is biting already. I have no idea how you correct that with a one year old. And he climbed a flight of stairs silently with me standing right there. And we bought him a little chair and all he wants to do on the thing is stand on it and then climb onto other stuff. You guys he is 1. And he isn't even walking. Who knows what kind of shenanigans he is going to pull once he discovers he can do more than crawl.
I can already tell this kid is going to be a fiesty one. It is a damn good thing H has the big V appt. These two boys are going to kill me slowly.
@tambcat, don't you want to TTC soon? I feel like I need to be committed on a weekly basis from the amount of crazy going on in my house. I mean, I wouldn't trade it for everything in the world, but having two is no fucking joke.
