Flame free Friday! Woot woot!
Here we go!
I judge my friend who claims the only meat her 2 year old dd will eat is vienna sausages. WTdisgustingF? I judge her hard.
I haven't written thank yous for C's birthday yet. And I honestly can't remember what half the people gave him.
I want to SHOP. All day. Spend spend spend! I don't know why fall and spring do this to me. I have items in my cart in about 10 online stores right now. And I don't need any of it.
Re: Flame free Friday! Woot woot!
I just threw up in my mouth a little. that's effing disgusting. and her kid wouldn't have ever eaten them if she hadn't opened the can and given them to him. (opening a CAN of MEAT is the first symptom of the problem)
DH is taking Warner to our friend's cabin this weekend--they leave Saturday morning and come back Sunday morning. I have oh, a shitton of stuff that I need to do around the house, but I'm only planning on doing the bare minimum. Mostly, I think I need to lie in by and read...and eat some yummy, fall comfort foods.
I have a mean coworker who likes to rub our faces in our mistakes - and point them out to our supervisor. So I love when she makes a mistake. She blames everyone but herself when she does, but I know deep down inside it kills her that she's not Ms. Perfect.
Eww gross. My kid would be a vegetarian because I wouldn't even think of giving him those.
I am afflicted by this condition, too, but I'm convinced I need all of it.
Apropos of the previous lab confession, I confess that I compared some annoying noise in our house the other day to the sound of mice f*cking. DH was taken aback that I knew what this sounded like, and I reminded him about all the lab classes I'd taken in college. Good to know after 8 1/2 years I can still surprise the hubz!
I just had to answer a question from someone at work that was so stupid and so basic, I struggled to find the words to answer it. I honestly didn't know how to dumb down a totally basic concept any further.
I expect people with kids wouldn't have struggled with that as much, since they have more practice in that regard. I did feel like I was explaining something to a 2 year old, not a 30-something professional.
lol, this reminds me of the time that a co-worker asked me what time zone Canada is in. uh....where to begin?
Hubby's b-day is Sunday. I have no gifts, no plans, nothing. What makes it worse is that I gave him a hard time for blowing off my b-day a couple times when he's been out of town for it. He did SO good this year to redeem himself. I'm a cad.
I think I'm just going to stop by the Apple store on the way home and get him something for his iPad.
me too *barf*
i have a bunch of filing to do and no interest in doing any of it.
i just decided i am picking up salads at chop't for dinner because i'm feeling super lazy
I think the no comp time policy at my office is beyond lame. I got back into town at midnight last night and was back in the office bright and early this morning. I have a bad case of the allergies and cold so I told (not asked) my boss I was leaving at noon. I stopped by the minute clinic then went to DSW (priorities) and then went home to sleep the afternoon away. I feel no guilt.
I had a chocolate milk shake for dinner.
I have one more judgey mcjudgerson confession...this week alone I have seen pictures from 3 different facebook friends of their kids in their car seats the with the straps loose as hell. in one of the pictures, the little girl was sleeping and the straps were so loose that she was able to cross her arms underneath the straps and there was still a ton of slack. You could tell in the picture that the car was moving.
I am practically sitting on my hands to keep from typing something along this lines of "why bother putting your child in a car seat if you are not going to strap her in??!!" It makes no sense to me that someone goes and buys a $300+ Britax (or really any other seat for any amount of $) and then doesn't bother to use it properly.
I know I'm probably way over-the-top when it comes to car seat safety, but it just makes me crazy to think that people don't take this more seriously.
okay, b*tchy mommy rant over...
I don't think you can be over-the-top with car seat safety. I mean, it's pretty straight forward: you're either using the seat correctly or you're not.
Personally, I wouldn't be sitting on my hands, but, as we've covered in the niceness post, I have @sshole tendencies.
