It's Friday, Friday, gotta let it out on Friday (FFFC 03/20)

[bullybutt]

I let my animals out this morning. Newt, the little cat, immediately got up on the roof. I left her there.

[Leapinglizards]

I seriously belly chuckled at the Galileo meme

[Leapinglizards]

My dog pooped on the edge of the neighbors yard. I am not dragging the baby out in the rain to clean it up

[lea]

DS1 was talking about outer space this morning so I was telling him a bit about NASA and astronauts and how if he wanted to, he could train to go into space when he's a grown up. My confession is I really, really hope my kids don't want to go into any high-risk careers. I'll support them but I'd rather they be accountants than Navy Seals.

I have the most annoying rep coming in for lunch today. Im shutting my office door and telling the staff to say in not here.

[ladytiffany24]

There have been occassions when I've shut my office door to "pump" even though it wasn't pumping time. Avoiding annoying work situations FTW!

My a hole of a neighbor lets his dog out and she runs across the street to our yard and poops and then goes back into his yard. He NEVER cleans it up. And he's watching her the whole time!!!

Edge of the yard that you share with the neighbor whatever is not a big deal. Deliberately letting your dog run across the street to poop in neighbor's yard annoying as hell...

I may have told my attorney how good the dunkin donuts butter pecan coffee was knowing she would ask me if I wanted one.......  


Happy Friday!

[anotherdreamer]

It's like magic, every time I click on this thread whatever FFFC I had just... goes away.

This might be one... I sometimes let the dog out and forget. I suddenly "remember" when I hear him pawing at the door and barking. I try to wait for DH to come home now so he can take him out.

I'm really forgetful right now, my PCP said I'm suffering from mental exhaustion from the babies and sleep deprivation (snort, ya think?)... so it's not like I forget him intentionally... I still feel bad though. At least it hasn't been freezing out when I do forget him.

DH works for NASA and there are a lot of cool jobs besides astronauts.
I totally get not wanting your kids to get into risky jobs though

Oh yes, I take longer than required breaks at times because I just HAVE to make it to the end of the chapter of the book.

True story: New tenants moved into the house next to us last year. They immediately started picking up their dog shit with toilet paper and slinging it over our fence. We tried knocking on their door when we knew they were home, but they never answered SO we started slinging it back. They started slinging it back, plus beer bottles. We left a note and their dog shit on their porch. It mostly stopped.

Sometimes people suck.

Me too! ODS is *convinced* he's going to be a firefighter. I can't handle it.

[soon2bmrsn]

I am coming to realize that I must not be good at potty training my kids. YDS just isn't catching on. ODS was basically trained for me at daycare and I'm bummed that that isn't an option for me this time.

I suck.

My three year old still isn't, which is probably a FFFC. We need to try harder, but we put it off because he wasn't showing signs of readiness, then he had major life transitions (big boy room, twins born). He gets really upset if he makes a mess in undies, and is scared of wearing undies now. He tells me they are "sticky" and "yucky" and refuses to be reasoned with. I feel like I get a fail over this. We need to focus on it more. Potty training sucks.

I think you get a free pass for being forgetful. You are superwoman!

I suck at it too. My just turned 3 year old does great when he doesn't have underwear or pants on. As soon as I put them on him he pees. He has sensory issues so I don't know if it has anything to do with it. He always naked. Always. Let's hope it gets better and we don't have to send these boys off to college in diapers!

[GrrArgh]

Our new neighbors have basically made me change my mind about living in one of the HOA neighborhoods where the houses are close together when we look for a new home

They leave their dog out when they are not home (not uncommon here) and whenever I am outside with DD1 I have to listen to it's non-stop defening bark the whole time we are out there. I seriously worry about her ears. They also put up this gigantic trampoline that blocks our mountain view (one of the reasons we bought this house) and removes whatever little privacy we had in our yard to begin with.


My FCC is that whenever it rains I consider getting rid of my dogs every time they track in poop. No matter how clean I keep the dog run they manage to find some poop to walk through before coming inside.

FFFC Zoey is teething bad today and super cranky, the only thing keeping her happy is Mickey Mouse clubhouse. I'm not even trying to fight this battle - we're laying on the floor watching.

We are pretty much in the same boat. He turned 3 in October so he's almsot 3.5! We obviously waited until well after DD was born to even try, but he still doesn't really show signs of readiness. I've tried pull-ups, I've tried undies. I've tried m&m's as rewards. I've tried ODS helping by using the bathroom at the same time.

But I have been inconsistent about all of it. I need to suck it up and stop putting him in diapers just because it's easy and face the consequences.

Yes, here's to hoping! I'm tired of buying dipes x2!

I must confess....IT was I that voted toilet paper under.

Team UNDER!!

[liziz]

I wrote this down yesterday so I wouldn't forget (I seem to have that same disease where clicking the link makes me forget!)

At work yesterday, my left ear was itchy, but it was right around where my earrings are, and I thought maybe I had a bug bite or something. I couldn't really scratch it, so I finally took my earrings out, and there was a disc of gross crud between my ear and the earring back. So disgusting. I don't think I've taken my earrings out since LO was born!

Anyway, my earrings and rings got a nice cleaning yesterday, because ew!

DH is a firefighter, and he will not let his boys be one. No thank you. Id prefer if DH was done being a FF also. 8 more years seems like forever.

@iheartmyshiba,
I hate spiders. Are you planning to walk for your graduation?

[emilillies]

I lick the infants' Tylenol syringe clean rather than just rinsing it off in the sink by DD's bedroom.
