Is this too early? If so I guess I'll just be a rebel.
DH is with friends tonight. DD has pretty much been watching TV since we got home from daycare. Oops.
Today is day 2 of my dog healing from knee surgery. She has 8 weeks of activity restriction and living in either her crate or a pen in the living room. She's currently whining. non. stop. This is going to be a long 8 weeks.
Had my first OB appt today. Everything looks great, measuring perfectly, awesome BP (120/70) and Baby HR (144). Slight knuckle slap over my weight gain but I knew that was coming. Also found out my OB has daughters 12 months apart. She didn't blink an eye at our 13 month apart situation!!! Lol.
I meant to post on a private facebook page about my MIL posting about diarrhea. I accidently put it on the pto facebook page. At least mil didn't see it?
I made an appointment to get my car serviced Saturday morning at 8:30. They said it might take up to 2 hours. I am SO PUMPED to sit there and read in peace and quiet for two hours while they work on my car.
I don't think I've heard DD talk in a non-whiny voice in 2 full days. I am so sick of it. As soon as DH brought her up for bed I poured a glass of wine and sat down. I swear we battled over every single thing today and it's so exhausting!
I think my six year old hates all food except for chicken, PB&J, carrots, apples, and yogurt. WTF. What kind of kid doesn't like pasta?! She was NEVER picky up until this year. It's driving me bananas.
I went to the gym tonight for the first time in weeks. The instructor of the class yelled my name out as soon as I walked in - McFelix is here! Which was really nice. After the class I did squats and shoulder press, so tomorrow I won't be able to walk or lift up my arms. And DS was in the gym daycare the whole time with his favorite girl that works there.
But I was really excited to feel well enough to go. Hoping I can keep it up!!
I realized that 90% of people were inviting to J's first birthday are family and adults. I'm also not going all out because it's going to be like 10 people.
I am making DH liver and onions for dinner at his request even though the smell of it makes me remember that time I had a post-partum hemorrhage and had to eat liver for two weeks afterward. Good thing I'm still on that drink-enough-wine-to-get-tipsy-after-DS-goes-to-bed-kick! DH will just think the glow on my face is love.

H brought home our brand new car today! L and I won't be housebound while he is at work anymore. And just in time too, we have big plans to hit up the Target liquidation sale tomorrow.
Sometimes I get excited about starting TTC in a few months and kind of wish we'd just start now. But I want to try to have a boozy getaway with H in April/May first, lol. Damn it, @starry, I blame you.
Me too. You better not leave me behind. Unfortunately the month that would be the most "ideal" is also one that would make me fairly newly pregnant during our family vacation with my H's anti-immigrant, pro-gun family members Oh well. Naps are as good as drinking, right?

Can I put a confession here? I will forget it by the next confession thread.
Friends had their son's first birthday Sunday. I was all excited for cake since I knew I was re-committing to my diet monday. They had one cupcake - for his smash cake - and no cake for us. They had ice cream, so I distracted DD from the cupcake with the promise of ice cream instead. I didn't notice until it was served that the ice cream was "no sugar added". So I fed her fake sweetened ice cream rather than risk a major meltdown/judgement for refusing to let her eat it.
I just put on the TV for my toddler. MOTY. She refused to eat dinner because her sister refused to eat dinner. She sat and stared at me as I sat and ate my own dinner and then started screaming and trying to steal it. I'm so over today. I don't have any booze in the house either. Why is it only 5:15?!

I eat seaweed chips and lots of kale, but WTF is the point of no sugar added ice cream??? And what kind of birthday party doesn't serve cake?

Seriously. Especially when they served it with crushed up butterfingers and chocolate sauce. I am kind of hoping it's purchase was a mistake, but considering no one else said anything, I am skeptical.

WTH no cake at a birthday? Was there a tray of tiny cannolis?
A gem from FB today (not on my wall, but a friend asked for preschool suggestions):
"Trust me Im not trying to judge or force my views on you...but think about this..rhetorical questions, how much do you think you'll end up paying for preschool per week or month or whatever...and then after preschool you'll also have to pay for daycare, right? Because you both work...but take the lower paid of the two of you and consider your salary against the cost of her care...how much are you really saving by not staying home with her? Never mind all the extras that go along with daycare (like doctor visits everytime someone in her class gets the sniffles!) just something to consider."
Really? Plus the OP's child is nearly 4 years old and has been in daycare since birth. Probably not going to change any minds with those burning rhetorical questions...

I way overindulged in Mexican for lunch and a huge bowl of spaghetti for dinner. Uffda.
I was fine all day then became a PMS maniac when I got home. My biggest effing pet peeve is when the first thing my H says to me when I walk in is something about cleaning the house. He always says it in this condescending way. Sorry dude, you did nothing the last 2 evenings either. Don't act like I am the sole contributor to the clutter.
M didn't nap today, so when I didn't let him pour his own milk, he dumped the glass that I poured him on the floor. Then when I refused to give him more milk he threw himself down as well. I voted that the snack he had at 5 counted as dinner, and put him to bed early.

What? That's the worst! Getting excited for party cake and then not having any or having that crap whipped frosting is horrible. No I don't want your nasty fake whipped icing. I want buttercream icing, the icing that you know, TASTES GOOD! This happened at GMIL's 90th birthday and I had been so looking forward to cake and was so disappointed that DH went and bought me a cheap grocery store slice of cake.
