I hate that frequent flyers override everyone. I'm currently on standby for a flight I supposedly booked with a bereavement fare because effing frequent flyers bumped me. Wtfff.
DH had the stomach flu this week and I had no sympathy. When I had the stomach flu I still had to take care of DS who also had the stomach flu. DH got a sick day and I took care of DS so he wouldn't get it again even though I had a horrible cold.
I've had Chipotle for lunch two days this week already and planning on getting it again today. I figure if I have to eat 'fast food' its the place I feel best about eating at. DH told me I need to lay off but nobody gets between me and my chipotle.
Also I have never read the 50 shades of gray and don't plan on reading the books or seeing the movie, I'm tired of hearing about it and tired of people asking if I'll see it (since all females are apparently)
Yes, also never read the Fifty Shades books and have no interest in seeing the movie either. It just irks me and gets my feminist side going based on the synopsis I have heard about it- could be wrong though since I don't have personal knowledge. I am very jealous of everyone after reading about Valentines plans, even if your plans are stay home and eat. Last year it was me pregnant and my two dogs. This year it is me, DD and still my two dogs. Woohoo!

My FFFC I'm over my parents house right now, DD may have just eaten a little cat food before I could grab it. We don't have animals so I forgot to watch for her getting in the cat bowls. Ehhh it's food right? I'm not that worried

Is there any way you can treat yoself? I'm a big believer that the best valentine you can ever have is yourself.
ETA: not to downplay that it isn't a bummer to miss out on the romance with another person when that's what the whole world makes the holiday out to be. So, big hugs.
buster It's ok. I would love to but really don't have any extra money or anyone to watch DD. It is minus 23 degrees today and this weekend too! So Netflix it is for fun. I just miss having a SO. Hard to start dating while breastfeeding.
We never do much for vday footloose. You're not missing out in our world. Probably do what we would do any other day- hang out, watch movies, drink wine, maybe get some candy at a local candy store.
When I was in high school, a guy that I had been friends with since Kindergarten got myself and two other of our longtime girlfriends gifts for Valentine's Day. I'm sure his mom encouraged it, but he said he never wanted us to feel lonely or like we weren't special whether we had a man or not. If I had any attraction to him, I would have married him. I definitely want to encourage my DS to do the same. What a shitty holiday but try to remember that love comes in all forms- friends and family and spend it with those who you love.
Also, I am a feminist and an avid reader. I have no issues with Fifty Shades other than it is poorly written, and is completely unrealistic for BDSM relationships. (Not that I've been in one, but it's pretty obvious). It's not guilty of objectifying women anymore than any other novel where the woman's entire existence is based on her feelings for a man (cough twilight cough). But the sex scenes were decent in my book. It made me want to have sex IRL. So it did its job for me.
I was home yesterday with baby because of pink eye. He went back to daycare today. I really some days would like to stay home and other days would not like to stay home...

I'm too tired to deal with toddler tantrums. I let her eat her third nutrigrain bar of the day. Last night she had popcorn for dinner. I totally thought I wasn't going to be that mom who lets the kid be the boss, fail!
I've read Fifty Shades twice and plan on seeing the movie. Other than the atrocious writing I enjoyed the story. I was kind of hoping it would be the mom and baby movie next week but it's not so I'm going to have to wait for it to come out on TV.
Tomorrow I plan on leaving DS with DH so I can go to the gym, in reality I'm going to go to starbucks with a magazine and chill out for an hour.

DD has been unbearably whiney and annoying today. I'm tired of trying to get her to sleep when we were doing so well with napping and I'm so tired from her crappy night sleep that I don't even want to go out for our Valentine's dinner tonight. FFFC: I plopped her on the floor in her room with her shape sorter and have been sitting in the glider ignoring her for the past 15/20 minutes.

I feel the same way. People need to get a grip, it's just entertainment. I've seen people comparing it to domestic violence. Honestly, I was more disturbed by the way Edward controlled Bella in Twilight.

I'm excited to see the movie tomorrow. Although I know I'm going to hate it (books are always better). I am curious to see it and that has me excited.
I tried to get out of plans with friends tonight by saying I had no one to watch DD but instead they changed our plans and said bring her along! I love them for that but really my couch, ice cream and my book sound better.

Sorry you're having a rough day. For me the whining is worse than crying. Some days when nothing seems to "fix" it, all you can do is try to ignore and find your happy place.
Fffc: I caved to my addiction and bought myself a bag of candy hearts Tuesday. They're almost gone.
I've been appeasing my cranky pants baby with Cheerios all week.

Don't feel guilty - with DD I constantly played with and entertained her, thinking I was doing the very best for her. Big mistake - she's 7 and still can't play by herself and needs me to entertain her constantly. I vowed with DS to give him more "independence" and not make a rod for my own back. So, I try to leave him to play by himself for a little while each day. Obviously I watch him, but I leave him to it while I chill out for a bit. It's worked wonders because he is so content, rarely whines and happily plays and laughs to himself. He's much more chilled out than DD. So - it's not "ignoring"....it's "encouraging independence" ha ha ha!!
