H and I went out to dinner and I had a couple of cocktails after having a beer right after work. I feel goooood. Thank God it's Friday. This week was the epitome of suck.
Why has Mother's Day turned into a Brunch-Only holiday? My mom f-ing hates brunch and all of our favorite restaurants are only serving a weird prix fix menu. LAME!
Looks like we'll be celebrating at home and eating non-brunch foods.
I'm going to be a total debbie downer for second. I dislike Mother's Day in general because my dad always makes a unnecessarily big deal out of it for my stepmom. They have been married for almost 18 years (holy crap, I just did the math on that one), and it is still incredibly uncomfortable for me when someone refers to her as my mom.
My mother passed away very unexpectedly 20 years ago. Even though my stepmom has been in my life longer at this point, she's still not my mom.
Huge hugs! No matter how old we are these events are so impactful in our day to day.

I just found a cracked tooth. It's not to the root but I'm bummed bc i elected for just preventative care this year. Guess my FSA will be getting some use I didn't plan for. :/
I'm late to this party, but I think the Chick-fil-a waffle fries dip best in a mayo/mustard mix. Also, I mostly get Chick-fil-a because I love the roll after the grease from the chicken and the pickle juice have seeped into the bread. Mmm. Now I want Chick-fil-a.

Wow, that's really tough. I hope you are still able to take some time on Mothers Day to remember your mom. ((Hugs))
I always do. I live four hours from home now, but my little brother still goes to change out the flowers(fake) every few months.

I dedicate my first and second glass of wine tonight to the 3 year old I nanny.
She is freshly potty trained. She pooped her pants today while playing in her room during "rest time" and made no effort to use the bathroom. I walk into her room, asked her why it smells like poopy and she says she didn't know. She eventually reveals that she "pooped a little bit, but put everything in the hamper." Go through the hamper, can't find the poop, just the previously clean pair of pants she apparently used to wipe with. Take pants out, undies were clean. I'm thoroughly confused, but she's getting upset so I give it a rest for a minute. A few minutes later, she says "I have some bad news. There's more poop in my room." The saga continued for about 15 minutes while I tried to find the mysterious poop and how it got where it was. Turns out, she had put it in a shopping bag in her room with the intention of saving it for night time, when she wears a pull-up. She was going to wait, then put the poop BACK into a diaper so no one would be disappointed if they found it from an overnight accident. The story ended with "but I held it in my hands and I think there's poop in my nails now."
TLDR: today, a 3 year old tried to save her poop for later by storing it in a bag in her closet.

@wallflwr926, sorry about the loss of your mom. That's a hurt that doesn't ever fully heal, and I'll be thinking of you in the days surrounding a holiday that's pretty painful.
Andrea I knit I got a book dedicated to kids animal hat patterns before Christmas. This niece got a fox, nephew got a knights helm (not from the book), and my other two nieces got a lion and a hedgehog.

This made me burst out laughing. My dog gave me serious side eye.

That is some serious problem solving!
You definitely can't fault the girl for her critical thinking skills. Her thought process makes sense! (I had to leave the room for a second because it was just too much laughter to suppress)

onesweetworld...that is cool. Rainbows hold a special place for H and I due to pastor rewriting the homily for our wedding the night before to talk about what each color meant and how it relates to marriage. She lit a candle of each color as well. At reception we had a rainbow come out and we got our picture with it. Everyone thinks we Photoshoped it in.
