Friday Friday gonna get down on Friday

[rachydc]

It's a rainy and dreary morning here. A is still sleeping, I should wake her so I can get to work, but it's Friday and I don't care. I mainly just want to drive and listen to the S-Town podcast haha. I'm only on the first episode but I'm so curious as to where it's going to go!

[lonegalathome]

@justinslovo wear jack and get a race car cart 😀

@traceyos you can do it!


I'm a class volunteer and then have to do a sx with dh and then moana for movie night- in so pumped! I hope dh chases o so I can watch the movie!

[catladymeow]

It's cold and rainy and very, very windy today. It's like a hurricaine out there! I'm feeling so blah about my job lately. And just blah in general.

ETA: I hope everyone has a happy Friday!

MH woke up at some ungodly hour to go to a car event. He took AB with him so I didn't even get any squishy toddler hugs this morning.

Looking forward to seeing our neighbor perform in the middle school's musical and pizza tonight! TGIF!

sharebear05 , we make copycat Pizza Hut dough subbing Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose GF flour. Bake in a round cake pan and it's the best pan GF pizza I've had. I've skipped the powdered milk and it still turns out OK. Add some herbs for an extra kick.

ETA- duh, the recipe: www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/525/Pizza_Hut_Original_Pan_Pizza41605.shtml

I was going to get groceries and maybe go to the children's museum today, but one of the cars has a flat tire, so H took my car.

We're stuck at home. It's supposed to be rainy and cold again today. And H won't be home until bedtime. Boo.

[laurie12820]

I've been in such a dark place lately. Work is super stressful, my family is aggravating and DH and I are in a rut. It's spring but the weather here has felt nothing like it. Wah, wah, wah. Poor M is sick so I am home with her. It's almost a relief to not have to go to work today. Hoping to have some sort of a mental health day.

[360blessings]

I'm wfh today and supposed to have Noah all day. I'm debating dropping him off at daycare as he is currently throwing a fit since I won't let him stay attached to my boob all morning. I don't mind and am still perfectly okay with nighttime and first thing in the morning nursing sessions, but days I'm home like on the weekend he'd stay attached 24/7 if I'd let him and it hurts. :/ Unfortunately if I take him in this is probably the last Mommy-Noah we will be able to have until at least the end of June. So...mom guilt.

And DH works today so I have no help with any of the boys until tomorrow.

[rach]

Also, I registered for MIDDLE SCHOOL classes with my oldest last night. She popped in my FB timeline this morning as a chubby faced baby/AB clone from 10 years ago. Someone is cutting onions around here!

[lovemyirishtwins]

+1 to it being cold and rainy here.

DH left early this morning for his tournament. We are going to meet him down there for dinner this evening.

Today I am taking the kids to this warehouse furniture place I just found in town. It has furniture that didnt sell from local stores. Everything is discounted 40-70% and they encourage you to negotiate on price. I do not need anything but I want to go and look. If I end up with new furniture that would be nice!

[lovemyirishtwins]

laurie12820, I am sorry that you have been in a bad place recently. I hope that a change in the weather and seasons will help as we get further away from winter. Maybe plan a date night with DH? When we are in a rut, if I work to do something focused on DH it helps us both.

@justinslovo,you got this! I was nervous the first few times to take the kids to the store by myself. lonegalathome,is right. I always wore vivian and put the others in a cart. I found this so much easier than putting the carseat in the cart.

[catladymeow]

360blessings we are in same boat. On weekdays E nurses in morning and then after work/daycare and then before bed. But on weekends she wants to be constantly nursing. I am trying to treat it like quitting cigarettes and when she asks to nurse on weekends distract her for 5-10 minutes and hope that she forgets about it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's hard. :/

[rach]

Hugs laurie12820. Some time to decompress is always a good thing. Hope you find something that makes you feel better.

Um, @justinslovo, didn't you just have a baby not even a month ago?! You're already working out?! I'm both impressed of you and more horrified at myself.

If I eat an avocado with an egg every morning how horrible will my cholesterol be?

It will be excellent because both are extremely healthy, and dietary cholesterol from whole foods does really important things like mend and strengthen cell walls and help build more cells. That's a power breakfast, right there.

[lovemyirishtwins]

@justinslovo the past week for breakfast I make a slice of toast, a thin layer of organic mayo, slices of red onion and avocado topped with an egg.

[CoachTsWife]

@justinslovo, your cholesterol will not suffer from eating avocados and eggs. Those are two super-foods, IMO.

[laurie12820]

lovemyirishtwins, thanks! I want to do lunch and something with DH on Sunday. My mom said she'd watch the girls. I am hoping M is better by then, otherwise we won't be going.

@justinslovo, thank you. I've already cried today and it felt good. I feel like I haven't had any time to have emotions. Hoping it's a start!

rach, thank you! The weather has been super depressing around here and it is totally affecting my mood. I do not like the winter and all of the germs it brings so I always look forward to spring to get me out of my funk. It needs to show up soon! It's been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong winter!

I got to work and really wanted a thick crust pizza, which is hard to find in GF. So I was trying to access a review of CPK's gf pizza crust, and I got blocked for looking at porn. Sounds about right.

This recipe is amazing and so easy to do.

Annnnnnd Liv will be walking when we go for groceries. That girl is a beast. I do not want to push her extra weight. But I will keep the double cart in mind if she is uncooperative.

Thanks for your encouraging words!

I am a mean mom and never do the car carts at the grocery store because they are so heavy and the car is on the ground and they can get in and out and reach stuff when you walk past. F that. I had DD walk, DS sit in the cart, and wore sam. I found she did better when given tasks and made to feel an important helper.

I love the car carts at Home Depot that are up high and glide fairly easily but they tend not to have much basket space.

I left the toddler alone for 2 minutes to go to the bathroom.

He found a red crayon and colored the table, chair, window, and wall.

Where the fuck is spring? We need to get out of this house!

[nutmeg8484]

It's snowing here again. We are predicted to get up to a foot. I'm done with you winter, it's time for you to go now.

Molly and I ware having lunch with my grandparents today so that should be fun. They love love love to see her and play while Mama gets a little break.

THANK YOU krissybeck!  I have a pizza crust recipe I can do (I can't do any of the GF mixes because they still have ingredients I can't have) but this looks super easy and also looks like a thicker crust than the recipe I use.  WILL TRY!

I also want to try that stromboli recipe I saw linked on that page.....

Today is the last day of the quarter, so I am in grading hell. The upside is, it's a minimum day and I'm showing movies pretty much all day so I can get my stuff done. Then when it's all over...Spring Break! Yay for a glorious week off of work!

I usually get annoyed with R when he gets up while I'm trying to get ready for work, but today I was so happy he did because I got to give him lots of snuggles before I left and won't see him until late Monday night. He was being so cuddly and sweet, too. I miss him already.

[yl]

laurie12820 I'm sorry to hear you're in a funk. I get in those, too. I hope it shakes off for you soon. xo

[krissybeck]

CoachTsWife if you search keto recipes or slow carb diet recipes you will find so many alternatives that don't use the gf flours. It is so hard finding gf recipes that taste like real food!

If you are missing soft pretzels this is a good recipe: www.myketokitchen.com/keto-recipes/make-low-carb-ketogenic-soft-pretzels/

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it looks good for bagels.

yl ,thank you! My teaching job is no longer just teacher. Data trackers, data meetings, "How will you improve" questionnaires, evaluations, etc.. It's just become ridiculous. At this point my secretary needs a secretary! Enjoy your trip!

I love when your kid hurts you and you instinctively yell ouch and then you end up comforting them because you scared them / hurt their feelings for yelling/ they were sorry abd remorseful but don't know how to articulate it.

Insert purple italic sarcasm font please.

And this was Liv. Come on kid!

My kid thinks it's hilarious when I yell ouch. I think I'm doing something wrong. 😉

We didn't make it to the warehouse/discount place but we are waiting on my sister to meet her for lunch. We have been moving extra slow this morning.

[pixiepink24]

I was going to go and drop my rent check off today, but the roads are all fucked inside the perimeter due to the major highway catching fire and collapsing. They even cancelled school due to the traffic. Wtf?! This is going to be such a major pain in the ass for like ever. I feel bad for everyone leaving for spring break and coming down 85 south. 95 all the way people's.
