I'm really disappointed in my alcohol tolerance and feel like I need to practice more. I was so so hungover on Saturday from 2 glasses of wine (over 4 hours).
I went grocery shopping alone yesterday and bought a King Cake. I'm very confident that H will never let me go grocery shopping alone again
jacks15, practice makes perfect! Maybe I'm weird, but since I drink wine almost exclusively at home, I really have zero tolerance for anything else. I had a beer with H while we grilled yesterday and it made me feel totally different than the equivalent glass of wine. Weird.
I went to sleep and didn't finish watching the Oscars last night. Can't believe that!
I fell asleep right before the whole ordeal. I am super annoyed that Casey Affleck won. He's a gross piece of crap who treats women like garbage.
Anyhoo, Nick's latest word is "happy." He said it last night as I was tucking him in, and I died of the cute. Then this morning at 5:30, he decided to talk a lot, throw Elmo out of his crib, talk to Bun Bun, chew on his paci, and proclaim "happy!" for all in the house to hear.
Luckily he fell back asleep for a little while. Lolz.
I fell asleep before Best Supporting Actress was announced. I basically only watched for the red carpet fashion. The only nominated film I saw was Trolls. I need a life.

J15 help! My mommy friend is throwing a "fiesta" themed 2nd bday party for her daughter next month. She is part Latina. In the invite she encourageous "fiesta attire". Am I being too crazy in feeling like this could be cultural appropriation? I know I could find authentic clothing easily, but with me being non Hispanic, is that cultural appropriation or me being sensitive?
Oh and the fiesta attire she got her daughter is authentic. I helped her find where to go and she sent me a pic.
This cannot be real life. I'm on the train behind two men discussing their time in prison and various cell blocks and how great one block was because you could just play poker and have sandwiches. And "they hated me because I have a swastika on my chest."
I'm trying so hard not to actively shake. This is so fucked up.
@officedronette, Reminds me of when I was in Target this weekend and this older teenage boy was telling a younger boy that we need to give everyone tests to determine who is a boy and who is a girl because nobody knows these days. He also said a if you're a man, you go for a woman, "it's simple like that"
rachydc - the pleasant tone was also throwing me. They had just met and were making plans to walk to court together and get lunch and cheerfully and pleasantly discussing all of these objectively terrible things. The swastika comment is really shaking me, especially given the defiling of a Jewish cemetery in the area. I'm starting to think about moving L from her daycare again because the world is filled with terrible people.

pixiepink24 I totally agree with sharebear05 and @wafflesfriendswork. I think the suggestion of asking her for guidance is probably a good tactic. These things always make me nervous too.
Also Brie Larson having to give Case Affleck an award not once but TWICE is gross. The fact that we are ok with sexual offenders is gross. Apparently the accusation of sexual harassment is a rite of passage for successful American men these days.
The look on her face. How she kept it together I will never know.
The normalizing of this shit is getting fucking old.
@officedronette I am sorry you had to hear that. I struggle to find the right words.
After I read the story about what happened to the graves in the Jewish cemetery in Philly, I felt so hopeless. Then later on I read that people of many different faiths showed up to help with the clean up, and it lifted my spirits a little.
I know there is a lot of ugliness out there, especially right now with many feeling more emboldened to show their hatred, but there is still so much good in people. And the more that we all continue to show we are okay with the differences with others, we can start to drown out the hatred. I can only hope.
cornpop311, Was it expensive to do? I keep seeing ads for those 23andme tests but I feel like it's a lot of money to confirm that I'm largely Mediterranean with a sprinkle of Irish.

Oh, stretchy wrap people - how do I wear this thing so that the part over Max's head isn't so overwhelming? He's snug and high but as soon as I tuck his head I feel like it's swallowing him.
Ugh...can illnesses just stop already??? Yesterday I developed an annoying, yet manageable ear ache. It kept me up half of the night it was getting worse. I woke up extremely congested with little voice. I decided it was best not to lecture today so we are doing a reflection and then I'm sending them on their way. Do not want to adult today. Headed to the Dr at 1 and daycare offered to keep Kolby the extra hour so I don't have to drag him along.

I started with the K'tan and tucked her head in half way. But W was a gigantic baby. I'll see if I can add a pic of what I had or a good example. Are you able to post a pic to show what you mean?
And I just got a text alert that they've evacuated her school (presumably due to a bomb threat) that all are ok, and the police are on site so we can't pick up yet, but they'll let us know when we can pick up or see our kids.
WTAF. I'm so strung out about this and not sure remotely how to play this. I think I need to go get her because other parents will and I don't want her to be stressed that other parents are getting their kids and her parents aren't. People are monsters.
