Ugh. We ordered out for lunch and someone went to pick it up. It took an hour to get here, and I was so hungry when it got here. My very healthy salad came with buttery Texas toast, which I never eat. Well, I ate it, and now I feel so gross. Why do I do this to myself??

[piccyami]

H forgot his lunch this morning, so we went out. I think the bun I had had soy in it. I am soooo itchy.

[wowcheezits]

I haven't been around much. I've been too busy or exhausted. They have me running my tail off at work and when I get home I'm usually laid up on the sofa because I'm too exhausted to move. I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm really getting upset with myself that I can't lose weight. I'm busting my ass at the gym 4 or 5 days a week plus doing this squat lunge challenge with DH every night. I try to watch what I eat but inevitably every week some event happens and I blow the entire week of work that I did. I spent 4 years losing 80 lbs and in the last 6 months I've gained 12 back. I know 12 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things but it gets to me. It's having a serious impact on my overall happiness. It's so frustrating and I think I look disgusting.

Sorry. I just needed a vent.

I am in the same boat in the not losing weight department even when I'm at the gym regularly, so just wanted to say I can relate.

can anyone give me a legit reason not to go to a kids 4th bithday (at mcdonalds) in two weeks time?
She knows I dont work weekends, DH is 'meh' about going, its his best friends kid. his wife and I are close but I really dont want to go to a McDicks party with a ton of screaming kids when we dont have any ourselves. I dont really want to lie, but telling her I just dont want to go seems harsh.

You have an appointment
You need to do your taxes
You have a fear of clowns
You have a restraining order barring you from going within 100 feet of a McDonald's
Your allergic to the smell of french fries

Can you say you got called into work?

I'm doing aerial yoga for my bday next weekend, and my best friend isn't very athletic. She said she would meet up with me after and do something else, because she's not a fan of it. What if you asked if you could meet up after or another time for the kids bday?

omg lol.

I'm debating if going and just getting a few hours of screaming kids is better or taking her to a movie later in the spring is. the movie is much more $$ spent, but it is quieter....

1. The truth
2. You are going out of town (and then go somewhere!)
3. You feel like you might be coming down with something and don't want to spread your germs.
4. Don't apologize, just say you can't make it this time and offer no explanation.

I like 1 and 4, I sometimes use 3 though...

I'm delaying in answering her, I'll talk to DH tonight and make sure he didnt make any promises to his friend before telling her anything. I mean really, its MCDONALDS with like 8 children, only 3 of them I like....

thanks for the suggestions ladies!

[mugster]

I hate grading! My cold is finally mostly better, and my spring break is almost over, and I have 40 papers to grade

[teraiin]

I usually just tell people I'm not really feeling that well and on the off chance it turns into something I'd rather play it safe.

So I guess 3 on mugster's list.

[jennby]

Hello frands. Lunch break. I wish I was home

[Lollipop]

Apparently I got paid today! So every other Thursday instead of every other Friday. Weird.But! That means that we can eat out tonight! Yay for no cooking! I hate cooking. I like baking though.

Its like 2 weeks away, so I cant use the "I'm sick" excuse. We have to go to their 3rd kids baptism like 2 weeks after that too, so given my DH mentioned I should try to stop double booking my weekends last night, I'm thinking he wont mind me saying no to Mcdonalds and yes to baptism.

"Friend, I love you and I love your kid and your husband, but I really don't want to go to the birthday this weekend.  Can we come over and spend some time celebrating their birthday before you go to McD's or maybe come over and have dinner with you instead?  I'm having a hard time stomaching going to this with a bunch of kids running around right now [especially since we don't have any of our own*]."  *brackets optional, depending on how much friend knows or how much you want to disclose.

I'd just be honest with your friend.  If you guys are really close, she shouldn't be offended and may even be willing to compromise with you.  It's absolutely NOT that you don't want to celebrate her kid's birthday, because I'm sure you would in different circumstances.

*hugs* kellybenelly83  Sorry you're in the situation.

I think thats pretty much where I'll head with it. 

I'll offer for us to take her out on her own for a movie or something when we have a weekend we can work out, but sitting there with these other girls who all had 2 babies before the age of 26 will kill me. they are all (except my friend) so judgy.

I cannot cook. I lack the ability to make things savory. Even the simplest concepts of cooking elude me.

But I can bake ALL day, and even new things come out tasty. I don't get it.

Most baking requires exact measurements and specific ingredients. Cooking allows you to improvise and substitute. I find baking easier because it's scientific.

To my introvert internet friends, is this accurate? I think even as an extrovert, I've done this before.

World Class Kelly moment:

tel call from CW. telling me that a cargo we are shipping will be broken down into small chunks on stone and no longer huge chunks that could damage our equipment.
So I yell out Pete! Size isnt an issue anymore, it will only be 3 inches......

Gah! I had to bring DS to work with me today and during lunch, he sits in his stroller with his sippy cup and lunch and watches a movie. He doesn't generally make many messes but of course, today he would. Because I'm at work. He dumped his container of sweet potato fries and strawberries on the ground and was stomping on them before I could grab him. *sigh* On white tile floor, of course. Yay for wipes.
