Re: FFFC
I don't know why I'm throwing this out there.
So, two Saturdays ago was a good long (long) day of tailgating. I'm not going to sugar coat the fact that I had, in fact, had a decent amount of alcohol throughout the day (Lyns and Star can probably vouch for that lol).
We're walking back to the tailgate half way through the game b/c it was cold, wet, we were sucking, and we were exhausted. I feel the need to point out that while I had been drinking all day, I was doing pretty good. I was just sleepy from all the booze and probably not the straightest walker at that point. We pass a cop car and I do my best sober face and he still decides to have a chat. I guess my sober face wasn't good enough and he ended up running my ssn to make sure this wasn't a habit, I guess. Luckily he let me go. I really wanted to pull a, "I'm drunk at a tailgate, you're trying to throw me in public", but I decided not to. I hugged the officer and was on my way.
In my brain I could not figure out how on earth I made it through all of college w/o incident and I'm going to freaking get a drunk in public when I'm 26 with a mortgage. How does that happen?! Thankfully it didn't happen but I wasn't happy about it.
DH also proceeded to get thrown out of his rec. softball game that Tuesday for an ill-timed f-bomb that happened as he got cleated by a runner, but also at the same time that the umpire made a questionable call.
We called each other Bonnie and Clyde that whole week and decided to delay having children by a few more months next year.
Dying.
If you were in my County I wouldn't have charged you lol!!
I have two that are both completely random and totally different:
First: I hate when it's raining outside at the grocery store, and not only do the parking lot attendants wait until pretty much all of the carts have gotten soaked before they bring them back in, but then they don't wipe any of them down, so you're forced to wipe off the cart seat with your own shirt just so your baby has a place to sit. This has happened to me the last two times I've been to the grocery store lately.
Second: I don't know how you would avoid it, and I know my kid will most likely do the very same thing, but I always cringe when I'm at a 2, 3, 4 year old's birthday party & they half blow/half spit-spray out the candles on the cake that everyone is going to eat. I can't think of a good alternative, but it still grosses me out.

Wait, is it seriously illegal to be drunk in public? I mean, you were walking down the street. I know of drunk and disorderly charges or open container - - but walking to your car?!
I wouldn't give you the side-eye - - I think most people around here do what you did. I feel like I get looks from people because it looks like I'm folding my child origami style to get her into her rear facing chair (with her legs fully extending up the back of the seat, she basically sits in a V shape, lol).
Public intoxication. Mostly, though, what happens is what happens to Jaay, unless someone's being a real dickbag.
I work in a county prosecutor's office too, and see this stupid sh!t all day long too, and it drives me crazy. Makes me want to stay inside my house and never come out...but then I'm sure I'd be victim of a B&E or something of the like
I could sit at work all day and read police reports and never be surprised at how stupid people are. It amazes me.
LOVE the graphic - this needs to go at the beginning of all the FFFC
In honor of my birthday yesterday I am planning on going and buying the biggest chocolate cake (the kind with layers, chocolate shavings on top, fudge...the works!) that the grocery store has!
The confession part of this is that 1) I'm buying it at a grocery store and 2) I fully intend on eating the whole thing myself because Sam isn't really a cake kind of guy.
I am working from home today and my office is in our sunroom (translation: full of windows, facing a busy street, 4 door down from an elementary school).
I have my jeans undone b/c they were cutting into me and I forgot and just stood up to leave the room only to have my jeans fall all the way down to my knees and I'm just praying no one saw me
As a FFFC, I would give the side eye, because I am a huge advocate for extended RFing, but hey it's your kid and you can do whatever you feel is best for your kid! Abby is still RFing in DH and my MILs cars. I am sure I would get side-eyed for the amount of tv my kid watches and many other things I do!
