FFFC: Even though I have sworn up and down I would never read 50 Shades, part of me wants to see the movie just to see what the fuss is about.
+1
I won't pay to go see it in theaters though. I'm not that curious. That's a Red Box kind of movie down the road.
Yeah, I feel the same way. I'll probably watch it when it hits HBO or something, but seeing it in the theaters is too much. (And also potentially kinda awkward? Why would I want to watch that with strangers? )
Along those lines, I didn't realize for a long time that FTFY is not always "Fuck that fuck you." I was always wondering why people got so angry about certain rather innocuous posts where all they did was strike something.
I thought QFP was "quit fucking playing". I still read it like that and giggle to myself.
There are times I type out a response but erase it because I realize I don't feel strongly enough about something to keep coming back to reply or I know I won't be able to reply for hours. Then there are times I post and then realize I shouldn't have bothered. I tend to overthink.
I don't have any good FFFC. I will edit when I think of one.
Edit I am using my desire to get our sex life back on track as an excuse to get some new toys that I would otherwise not buy (lost all desire for sex after having my daughter and some issues we were having)
I picture everyone of you exactly like your avatar picture complete with voices.
I picture some weird version of everyone's avatar. So you would be this military type woman who is jacked and have flawless make up/hair lol! Oh and you always wear army clothes.
We've been wanting to move our bedroom to the room across the hall, so I started the process this morning knowing full well that I'm not capable of doing most of the heavy lifting so H will have to do it when he gets home or he won't have a place to sleep tonight. But in my defense, at least the little stuff will be moved!

This made me smile. The hair/make up thing could be farther from the truth as the world is lucky that I even brush my hair in the morning. I'm also way lazier than I should be.
I wanted to throw my child across the room when she decided (once again) that 4AM was an appropriate time of day to get up. Seriously, kid, WHY? I didn't, obviously, but it would be sweet if she could grow out of this particular habit any time now.
I am trying not to read to much into this. I cringed when I read it. I have empathy as a fellow exhausted mother, but somethings sound never be said or put in writing.
If an exhausted mother isn't able to vent anonymously on a forum then where can they? I'd much rather have someone get these feelings off their chest than to bottle them up and act on them.

daisy818 I thought FTFY was the same thing lol! Back when FTW became popular, I thought it meant "fuck the world" for a long time. Now I am becoming quite gifted at acronym decoding. Although I only just figured out what FX stands for on this forum, like, two days ago haha.
FFFC: I drank fake Bailey's by itself last night and played Pokemon Snap on our N64. It was awesome.
Other FFFC: I did not have an N64 growing up, but my cousin did and I was so jealous and loved playing it, so H and I bought one as adults from Ebay and blew tons of money with our tax refund last year getting the games we wanted. No regrets detected.

I am in a weight loss challenge with my family members and despite tracking every morsel that I put into my mouth the last 2 months, I've only lost 9 lbs. (this along with cutting out all processed foods and preparing 95% of all my meals myself) I am on the verge of sabotaging the others a la mean girls.

Actually that struck me too. I am sure it would never be done but it just was hard to read.
My youngest is a difficult high needs baby too so I understand the need for a break, it just came off as scary. I hope you get some sleep and some time to yourself soon.
Edit I can completely understand. When I am feeling overwhelmed or overtired I think about packing up the toddler and teenagers and shipping them to grandmas for am extended stay. I hope your LO decides a later wake up time is better.

Yeah, don't read too much into it. Hence the obviously, I would never do that.
Judge me for saying it if you want to. I love my child with every fiber of my being, but her sleep is about as bad as it could be, and always has been, regardless of what we've done. Exhausted, sleep deprived, etc. is my normal, for over a year, and some days I laugh about it, some days I cry, and some days I make sarcastic remarks while sipping my 3rd cup of coffee before noon.
ETA: thank you SheilaTheTank, for getting it, that it's just a vent, certainly nothing I would ever consider doing.
My Christmas decorations are in a pile in the middle of the spare bedroom waiting to be packed up. They are probably going to sit there until next Christmas...

9 pounds is a lot for 2 months. You should be very proud of yourself!!
@erin2021 are those sparkly converse shoes in your picture?? I wore them as a surprise to DH (he wore regular dress shows) I knew I wanted to do something different and when I saw them I knew right away they were going to be my wedding shoes! We also did the evolution of dance for our first dance so they were much better than heels to dance in. Me, DH, and the DJ were the only ones who knew we were doing the dance. It was so much fun!

Sure are! I'm not a high heel kind of girl. I promised my mom I would fancy up the shoes, so I looked everywhere for these! The bridesmaids wore gold glitter heels (tacky but I loved it), and I wore these. Then all of the groomsmen and husband wore the black high top converse. He still considers them his fancy dress shoes lol!

I wanted to throat punch my 3 year old last night and at 3am. I would never do that, but don't think twice about saying shit like that.

This happened to me as well at 12:30am, and then 5am with my guys. Obviously would never seriously hurt my children, but sometimes I just want to look at them and say "what the fuck is wrong with you?" Then I remind myself they are only 2 and pour another glass of wine
I am totally baffled by people who don't drink or only drink a couple of times a year.
I drink a lot, especially during the TWW, because I want to get it in -- just in case I have to stop.
H is straight edge and just doesn't see the point. I'm the same way with gambling. I don't see why people would throw their money away on something like that. To each his own I guess.

So sorry you are in the same boat. I love your perspective! I agree about the 2nd glass of wine as well.

I feel like infants are one thing, and toddlers are a whole different ball game. 6+ months ago, I mostly just cried and told myself it would get easier. It has and it hasn't. Now I laugh and joke and thank the good lord for coffee and wine.
I forgot my OPK at home and I'm seriously considering running across the street to Walgreens and paying the $20 for a stupid OPK kit. In my defense, my thermometer is being dumb and the OPK is the only way I'll have a clue if I ovulate in the next day or so.
I support this and think you should grab a candy snack while you're there. Because that's totally what I would do.

Yes, exactly. Toddlers can be brutal! I told H I am glad we are TTC as I am used to not getting sleep. Why not add #2? : )
