Do I need to scan that beauty thread for a rec on some kick ass facial moisturizer? Anyone remember if that's in there. My face gets so dry and peels in some places in the winter. Your average moisturizer just won't do.
DH walks in and drops stuff all over. Sometimes I leave it where it lands, just to see how long it'll take before he picks it up. Generally we get to a week before I can't take it... the sweatshirt on the dining room floor, the sneakers in the family room, etc. Hi, if you need me, I'll be over here having a nervous breakdown.
Our dining room table is his personal drop zone. Makes me cray. Straight cray.
LOL. You all are describing ME here. My mom calls me Hurricane Codypup because I routinely leave a trail of debris in my wake.
tenniscourt FX something comes up for you both soon!
@elf828 I thought you were looking for C too. I was like "$178 for baby shoes?!?" The ones you picked at Target are cute!
Add me to the "hubby can't see crumbs, crap, dirt, trash or much of anything untidy" club. I pick my battles on certain days. I have thrown a lot of things away that he "needed" 6 months later. Ooops, my bad.
ETA: Happy b-day Baby caer! Sorry...my baby ate my post-it note.

I am also guilty of piling things on the kitchen table. It's horrible! Right now, it is covered with party things. My main problem is I don't really have places to keep odd things. Things that have a home generally get put away, but some things I like to keep handy. (Diaper bag, and my purse both have 'homes' on the table.
DH is terrible about dropping stuff e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. It's like he just sheds stuff throughout the day. Drives me BSC. At least I've trained him to hang his flight suit up in the laundry room and leave his boots there, too. He's always asking where stuff is because "you always move stuff around". Uhhhh, no, I put stuff back where it belongs
On the subject of social media: if you see me on FB, feel free to friend me if you want . I don't put pics of DD on there, though, so I'm pretty boring.
I don't have IG, but I feel like I should get it to see more cute baby pics. The only thing holding me back is keeping it hidden from the in laws
I love instgram way more than facebook. I have really limited who follows me on Instagram, so I actually don't mind posting pics of DD there. My parents and in-laws do follow me, but it is mainly so I can be a bit lazy about sending them pictures and don't have to hear about it. Much easier to just post to Instagram and let them look that way.

I keep mine hidden from family it's the one social media place I can just joke around and be myself these days. Well also I pretty much deleted Facebook and never go on my fakey bump only account. My inlaws are pissed but...not my problem!
Is it possible to make it so you can't be searched? I'm just paranoid because I know my SIL has an IG account, and I wouldn't put it past her to randomly search for me (not maliciously, just huh I wonder if sakura ever found IG)

FTR if you find me on instagram or Facebook feel free to add me, just let me know who you are please!
We are BOTH guilty of dropping everything on the kitchen table, and the bench in the bedroom. It's a disaster. We keep saying we'll be better about it... but nope.
I have a question because I don't want to be creepy internet person. I recently became Instagram friends with a couple of F14 mamas. They are friends with a lot of you. Now a bunch of you are showing up in my random picture thing. Do I follow you? Do I ask to follow? Do I not follow? It seems weird and lurkerish to not give a friendly--I see your picture, would you like to see mine (I'm private, so have to approve followers). What is the F14 protocol on this?
AHHH---the social anxiety
I've had the same anxiety. You can friend me if you want, same name.
Good luck starfisher. I missed your update but it sounds like you were offered the job!
I am also married to the same man as you bookshelvesshellbelltLex @elf828 jessasaurus He leaves his clothes EVERYWHERE! And I’ll be like, “Can you clean up… whatever it is?”… and he’ll look around and not see the mess.
Speaking of IG, Dreaming are we friends there? I know we already are lalaprep. And sakura0019, it’s pretty easy to keep IG hidden. They just never need to know you have it.

Arrrggh!!
OMG NO I DON'T!!! Haha, that one drives me insane. There are things in our house that I've kept in the same place for the 6+ years we've lived here, and he'll say that EVERY TIME. "Why are these clean dishes sitting on the island?" "Oh, I unloaded them, but I don't know where anything goes." Not on the island?
Or, "I put away my laundry, but I didn't know where yours goes." Not in the basket? It ain't rocket science.
YESSSSSS!!! His only defense is that we've lived in five different houses in the past six years, but every time we move I give him a guided tour and then allow him a grace period, but FFS, most of it is just common freaking sense!! The meat thermometer is probably going to be in the kitchen somewhere!!!
I don't even let him do laundry anymore, he screwed that one up so epically.

Just make up a screen name that she wouldn't ever know is you. You don't have to sign up with your real name and you can make it so she can't see anything but a screen name and profile pic, so just make it like, bubblegumpullover and have a rando pic of not your baby and she'll never be able to guess!
Brilliant!!! Guess what I'll be doing during nap time today??
Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! tLex - sorry you're having a rough mom day. Hope things turn around soon.
Does anyone follow GOMI? They highlighted this blog yesterday. Basically the pitch is that the measles outbreak isn't the anti-vaxxers fault and only 800 people would die if no one vaccinated for measles anyway.. It just about made my head explode. www.modernalternativemama.com/blog/2015/01/23/enough-enough-blaming-anti-vaxxers/
Didn't you just dry a load of towels on high? It would be a shame if the next load accidentally got dried on high also - things could shrink! Be careful, Books.
I have high hopes. It's 12-month size, and Booklet really needs 18-months in length right now. No one wants frilly bell bottoms at their knees! (OK, no one wants frilly bell bottoms, full stop.)
I left my gloves in the car and they were freezing so I decided to microwave them since they are just fabric. They did have the smartphone touchy fingertips.
I hit quick minute figuring I'd grab them in 15 secs (cause too lazy to hit 4 buttons instead of 1). Well E distracted me and they went the whole minute. The smart fingers shrunk somehow and now it feels like my thumbs and pointer fingers are in vices.
tenniscourt - I'm so sorry. I know how that feels. I hope something comes through for your family soon. Being jobless is so shitty.
shellbell - JFC those tiny pink glitter shoes were $29.99!!! But since they were at Kohl's, I assume they could have been purchased for a much more reasonable $12.86 with sale & coupon.
I think today I might finally start adding a bunch of people to my FB & IG. I keep seeing you ladies, but I've been too lazy to do the pm & friend. I assume the same laziness plagues us all & not that you don't want to be off-board friends.

Probably the #1 conversation that can be heard in the blondemum home. He's always leaving his shoes laying around the house, so I got a big basket to keep by the door just for his shoes. Do you think he ever puts them in there? Nope! Then when I do, he walks around like "where are all my shoes?!".
re: Social media, i'm cool with anyone following me on IG, just tell me who you are if your name is different than it is here. My SN is this_blondes_life
I'm going to just vomit this here and then hopefully be able to get on with my day because I have an important training to run for 3 effing hours this afternoon.
I still don't know what's going on with me medically. I saw my endo again last week and got a bunch of test results, and while we're making progress to ruling some stuff out, we still don't know what this actually is. I don't have an antibody that's associated with 98% of lupus cases, so she's comfortable ruling that out. And she's confident that since the skin does return to relative normal after the hives, it's not scleroderma. My thyroid levels were off so we adjusted my meds, but she also doesn't think that's the cause of the rash. She suggested an allergist next to rule out any new allergies, though nothing has been consistent or changed significantly in my diet or the products I use.
I called my PCP to get their take and she wants to see me today. I've been sick with a cold so I'm pretty worried about this appointment, because I'm afraid that my concerns are going to get written off and attributed to this obvious virus I have right now, when in reality, this has been happening since last October in different forms. Truth be told, I'm legitimately worried about the possibility of lymphoma and I have a bad feeling I'm going to come off looking crazy because of COURSE I have swollen lymph nodes now... I'm sick! I just hate the timing of this and wish there wasn't an obvious reason I'm "unwell" right now.
TL;DR: I'm freaking out about a dr appointment today both because I'm scared something IS wrong, and scared that I'll be told something ISN'T at the same time... hot mess, table for one.
DH was home all day yesterday with a man cold and left me dirty dishes, a rice pot that needed to be cleaned out, among other things. I wanted to TP him. I need some of Feb14 loving patience and acceptance. I let it ruin my evening, I was literally scrubbing my house like a pissed off psycho.
I really miss my LO this week. He has been going to bed so early because he refuses to take more than one nap at DC.
