Come on ladies!

I'm not the biggest fan on mom's using last names as first names. I received an email from someone with a pretty common first name or at least I thought it was his first name and come to find out it was his last name. I.e. Jones Alexander

I think arranging a "Kiss-In" at CFA is completely ridiculous.

Somestimes I get jealous of all the time DH gets with the girls and I take my anger out on him. It's immature of me and I need to get over it because he's a great dad and husband.

They gave our monetary awards yesterday and I'm mad at the amounts. I know this probably makes me seem like a brat.

DS has been a huge PITA for diaper changes/clothes changes lately. I don't know what's up with him, but it is definitely frustrating. But once we've successfully changed him, he's fine, and it's over. I don't get why DH is still all cranky about these incidents an hour after they happen. I am easily frustrated and DS *does* frustrate me, but I get over it. DH needs to be more patient! DH is a great dad but I wonder how he'd handle being on his own with DS for a week like I just was.

Having to take off work stresses me out so much. I *finally* saved up some vacation time (after DS was sick every other week this past winter and I used it all) and I used it on an actual vacation so now I am back to zero. Now DH is scheduling all these estimates/meetings with contractors (which we do need to do) and of course they're all during a weekday so we have to take off work. I feel so guilty about it and working overtime to make up the time is practically impossible and THAT stresses me out too.

I realized that I am not really comfortable with BIL & SIL babysitting DS at their house. Maybe I will feel better about it when they have kids and their house is more kid-friendly.

ETA: DS is saying a lot more words now (he probably has a dozen or so) but "mama" is not one of them! He says "dada" fine and he's even close to saying the cats' names, but he won't say "mama".

I agree somewhat, not so much at the concept of the kiss in, but I think if you have a problem with CFA and the CEO's statements/donations, go protest at their corporate headquarters. Not at their restaurants where you have 18 year old kids just trying to go to work and people trying to get something to eat with their families.

My best friend is starting to plan her wedding and she's already told me that our other good friend and I will be in the wedding. She's still deciding whether or not to include her new sisters-in-law or her brother's girlfriend. I really, really, really hope she decides not to include her brother's girlfriend. She's a royal PITA and does nothing but complain about everything. No one really thinks they will get married either and other friend and I really don't want to have to plan the shower and b-party with her and have to deal with her.

In other news, I'm tired of people posting Pinterest-esque (as in, I'm assuming they probably found them on Pinterest) graphics on Facebook. Not the occasional cute/funny/touching one, but CONSTANT friggin' postings. If your newsfeed is comprised solely of the thoughts of others, I'm gonna boot your butt from my newsfeed.

LLHR posted yesterday in the Thursday thread one of my biggest FFFC's of the moment. My SIL is so guilty of this amoung a few other friends. With her specifically though I open my news feed and have to scroll and scroll and scroll in order to get past the 30 pictures/quotes/poster-like thing-a-ma-jigs that she posts one right after the other after the other. I need to get on a regular computer (not my phone) and log in this weekend and block that sh!t.

Another FFFC is this whole CFA business. I bet if I were to reserach the companies/brands/chains that I patronize I'd find stuff within each group that I didn't agree with but honestly I believe more in supporting commerce than taking away from it especially considering we're in an ecomonic global crisis. A company has the right to choose what and who they support or don't support and these types of "dirty politics" have been going on for ages. If I'm hungry, I'm going to eat a chicken sandwich. If I'm looking for the best prices on nearly anything, I'm going to Walmart. And (hypothetically) if I want to wear a RL outfit in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics that was made overseas, so be it. To me it's "c'est la vie".

I've decided to not say dada at all, and just constantly say mama to C and I hope to hell she says it first. Stick out tongue A first word was dada and then apple. Mama came much later. Sad

I love the Olympics. We've watched it nonstop for the past week. I tear up at every medal ceremony.

Our yard looks like a jungle. I seriously need to mow.

I suggested Gordon Biersch for dinner with my parents on Sunday so I can get points for our reward card.

I thought all babies say dada first? Its just easier to say.

I think Faith does it just to mess me with. I'll say to her "Mama Mama" and she will say back "Dada" and smile. Little stinkers.

When I was a nanny in college, all 3 boys always said dada first. They called their mom "dada," they even called ME that for a while. DS was the same way. I think it's just easier for them to say, and they dont' actually get that they are calling you a version of dad or daddy, it's just a sound that they've made and people get excited over it so to keep up that positive reinforcement they use it for everyone until they can say otherwise.

I think this is true, and DS definitely had the D sound down before the M sound. I don't care that dada was his first word (though it might have been ba/bottle, we're not sure). It's just crazy now because he can say other words and he can say the M sound and the "ama" just not together, lol. Our pedi at his 1 yr appt said he looks for 3 words at 1 yr, usually mama, dada, and 1 other. He had more than 3 words but not mama. I wonder if he is holding out on me on purpose, lol.

Interesting. Now I'm remembering a little girl at Caelan's daycare calling me "dada" when she was about Caelan's age. Maybe it just means "parent/adult" or something Smile

So my FFCC: I don't LOVE or hate being PG. I definately don't take it for granted and am more than thankful that I can get PG and have a healthy pregnancy, without horrible symptoms (although this one has been harder on my physically, but I have it easy compared to others). But I see it more as a means to an end, and I think most people do, they just wont admit it. I mean don't we all (with maybe a select few that just adore being PG) get PG to have children? And honestly it's reassuring to me once the baby is out of my body because I worry (maybe needlessly) that something will go wrong in utero and I wont realize it until it's too late. I want to see my baby and know that he/she is ok. So I find it irritating when people say you shouldn't complain about pregnancy and things like m/s, heartburn, etc because it's a "gift" and "miracle." I think you can still appreciate what a gift it is, but still acknowledge that it's rough too. And honestly I'd kind of like my body back, and not second guess the things I eat or put in or on my body.

I am one of the weirdos who did love being pregnant. BUT...I did not love m/s that lasted till 18 weeks, sciatic nerve pain, or giant marshmallow feet. Pregnancy is rough on your body and some complaining about it is totally justified IMO!!

I am the first person to admit that I hate being pregnant. You can ask anyone. I am a miserable pregnant person and I can't wait to get my body back. Its absolutely a means to an end with me. There will not be another child because I am not willing to go through this for a third time - I hate it. Those women who's pregnancies are all puppies and rainbows have my admiration, but I'd much rather be done with this whole thing, thank you very much.

Almost four years later, I can't bring myself to look at outdoor wedding photos that are taken at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. As my fellow 10/25/08 nesties remember, we had the worst weather on our wedding day.

I'm still upset that I didn't get any beach, garden or outdoor photos that day and my garden ceremony was moved inside to the reception area. I never got a true "walk down the aisle" moment.

I know I sound like a total brat, but feels so good to type.
