So this BOGO at chipotle...do you have to show some sort of ID or do they just believe you if you say you're a teacher?
I got a smores frap yesterday at Starbucks and they gave me a free cookie straw. That was the highlight of my day. The rest was just a typical monday.
No plans just yet today. J is playing in his bedroom so I can sit on the couch normally for a change, instead of with my legs up so he can walk back and forth.
You need an ID. And the line is always ridiculous. I did it a couple years ago and waited an hour. It wasn't worth the $7.50 that I saved. But it really ups sales for Chipotle on a random Tuesday in the year.
1) I have eaten oatmeal as my breakfast every day for the last month. This morning the thought of oatmeal turned my stomach. I cannot have another bite of oatmeal for a while. So instead, I drove through McD's to get a hash brown and a fruit and yogurt parfait. I sit down at my desk and go to grab my yogurt parfait…those assholes gave me an oatmeal instead of a fruit and yogurt!!!!!!!!! Always check your bag before you pull away ladies. I'm so irritated by this.
2) tomorrow is mine and DH's 2 year wedding anniversary, but we're going out to dinner tonight. I am so excited!!! We're going to Napa Rose, which is a fine dining restaurant at Disneyland. We've got reservations at the Chef's Counter. It is a very small area that can only accommodate 14-15 guests. Each party gets a private sommelier. He will then ask us about our likes/dislikes, favorite meals, etc… and the chef will then create a custom 5+ course meal for each person. So, what I will be served will be completely different than what DH will be served. The sommelier will then do a custom wine pairing for each course for us. I cannot tell you how excited I am about tonight. I love dining experiences, and this sounds like it is going to be amazing!
mrsdee1982 LOL about the oatmeal at McD's! That Disneyland restaurant sounds amazing! Is it a membership only thing or can anyone make reservations? We used to be able to go to Club 33 through my work, but I guess they changed the rules after they did the renovation so we can't go anymore
belle0720, anyone can go, as long as you make reservations. They don't advertise the Chef's Counter though. It's kind of like a "hidden Mickey" type thing.
The apartments we just moved out of tried to charge us for the broken washer and dryer that they moved out of the apartment when we moved in even was noted on their copy of our move in and move out inspection. It took us weeks to get it straightened out because they wouldn't call us back. Once they got their shit together, they refunded us our deposit and we thought it was over. Fast forward to today and we get a call from a collection agency because they turned us in for the fucking washer and dryer!
DH and I haven't been on a big vacation since October 2012 immediately before I got pregnant with DD. Now, I have officially organized a family trip with DH's family for 11 people to the Outer Banks this summer. Was this what I originally had in mind? No, I would have preferred something fancier with less people, but I am excited/nervous nevertheless.
Thanks everyone! My dog was found in town. She went about 4 miles and followed a lady and her dog home. Instead of taking her to the pound they kept her in the back yard so we didn't have to pay anything and she made friends with a pug. Thank goodness I didn't find her on the highway.
@jemomma Screw them. They don't know your life. You're a fantastic momma and they can just shove their judgments up their ass with the stick that's already there.
Also +1 to not many female friends. I don't do well with drama and extraneous mess.
ETA: Except y'all. I love my TCF friends and I'm thankful we have such a wonderful board.

Sorry @jemomma. We had a similar morning with DD1. Staring, whispering, and side eyes from other moms included. The comment that I got was "At least she (pointing at B who was sleeping on my back) is a good, happy baby!"
Now DD1 is napping and I'm drowning my sorrows in coffee.
@scoop I would totally poll it, but already got an overwhelming Lollipop tribe response from a fb group, here, and my H. Plus, lollipops with every order So Lollipop Tribe it is!
@jemomma, so, on another note, were you able to determine the trigger of this melt down? Any progress in getting her calm? If you don't want to answer, you can tell me to take my nose elsewhere.
belle0720 I vote lollipop tribe too. Such a cute name!
@jemomma I live the leggings! I might need to purchase a pair to see what all the hype is about
I had other tags in my head but can't remember them all.
Yesterday and today have been pretty sucky. Two really, really shitty parent/student interactions yesterday (that were 110% not my fault, btw. People just being completely nuts. I have witnesses). And B did not sleep AT ALL last night. Like, literally. He was writhing in pain- and would settle for about 5 minutes and wake up screaming again. I think it was his stomach. He has been having BM regularly, but they haven't been very big and I think he is just backed up. I give him juice regularly, but apparently it's not enough. Will be talking to our ped today. Poor sweet boy was crying real tears and clearly hurting so badly last night, and I felt like there was next to nothing I could do for him except bicycle his legs, give him more juice and try to calm him. I ended up staying home sick from school to sleep today, which was a good decision. B apparently has been napping all morning at daycare, so hopefully we have a more normal night tonight
We went to a playdate this morning and as we were leaving, DD had one of her over the top tantrums. Awesome. Apparently that meant I deserved the side eye from a couple of other moms. The phrase "I would never let my kid..." was uttered. Neat. I suddenly remember why I do not have a lot of female friends.
Feck that. Most of the moms I know around here are lame. You might remember my post about moms at the pool who don't wear swimwear or get in the pool with their kids and have a floaty top with fedora dress code. Even with the info you have shared, DD's tantrums sound so normal at this age. I'm not impressed with the side eye, but there is a reason sanctimommy exists. I finally got our back up Internet to work well enough to stream season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy. Death to the silent house at last!
@jemomma, I'm also sorry that other mom sucks. If there's literally only one thing I've learned in (almost) a year of momming it's to never say never with anything to do with kids. Toddlers are going to be toddlers, and I really hope her kid pitches a fit at your next play date.

I read this as, "I really hope her kid punches her in the face."
Well yes, I do. What a bitch, I hope next time you can tell her that you hope she doesn't turn her kids into judgemental assholes like she is. Ugh, you're a great mom and don't deserve that bullshit @jemomma.

Ha, her kid punching her in the face would work too Especially since my normal reaction to people that make me angry is to want to punch them in the face.

We vacation with my husband's family every year. I love it and have an amazing relationship with (almost) all my ILs. Plus, free built-in babysitting.
