FFFC 9/11

[wegrowsheep]

Okay guys, it's Friday. Come away from UO and stop throwing poo. Put down the pitchforks and swords.

My FFFC isn't flame-worthy, but today for history I explained to DD what happened 14 years ago. Not in detail (she's 6). And I don't tend to be emotional (I've been accused of being heartless) but I totally had to fight back tears.

Also (on a more lighthearted note) I secretly enjoy DH being gone 2x a week, because it means I keep T in bed with me...and eat brownies alone. I hate sharing my chocolate.

This isn't flammable, but a confession anyway, because sometimes it makes me feel a little guilty to have a "lazy" day. budders post on a different thread inspired me to throw my to-do list out the window for today. I've decided to spend the day on the couch snuggling my baby. I think he's growing because he wants to eat and sleep a lot today. Instead of fighting it, thinking maybe he's not really hungry, I'll soak in his baby goodness while he lays on my chest and eats what he wants. Sometimes it's hard to remember that cleaning the house can wait.

To get back at DH for something he taught G about me, I told G that this older, short, bald dude in a book he reads is daddy. So now, whenever G reads that book and gets to that page, he points at the short bald man and says, "Daddy!!!"

I just can't help but laugh every time I hear it! Probably not right, but he deserved it!!!

To clarify, I have nothing against short balding men FYI... DH is short and loosing his hair, so I have nothing against it.. I just find it hilarious!


wegrowsheep, I don't share my chocolate either! I'm with ya!

Also, I am a grown woman who is afraid of basements. I've convinced myself that taking my phone downstairs with me will keep me safe.

I grew up poor and when there was food around it was usually processed/unhealthy. I eat pretty healthy now and don't even enjoy stuff I loved when I was a kid for the most part. I still love cold strawberry poptarts though. We don't feed the kids stuff like that, so I hide them in my room and eat them in secret as treats.

Same! Overall healthy but there are a few processed foods that I still love here and there. One is a dish my Mom came up with, line muffin pan with canned biscuit dough, mix brown ground beef with bbq sauce, fill muffin cups and top with shredded cheese. I know it sounds gross but I still love them

Oh and peanut butter captain crunch

That actually sounds good and I'm sure hubby would love it. Mixing the beef with sloppy joe mix would be good too!

It took me over 2 months to beat a level in Candy Crush Soda.

Also, while on family vacation I've definitely been using nursing as an excuse to have time to myself.

[sugarkissed]

I spoiled the crap out of my kid yesterday for her birthday. She had a cake pop, french fries, ice cream and we spent all evening riding the carousel and train at the mall. We kept her up past bedtime and let her watch a bunch of TV. It was probably her favourite day in her 2 years of existence.

I'm with you on the soda levels, GD those are hard!  I might also volunteer to feed the baby when it's DH's turn so I can candy crush in peace.  

Not sorry

[erbear]

Uh...ashbash I make that all the time to eat. Not flammable.

[nchauhan]

@badwolf321 mentioned how crazy demamda was in the UO thread and since I remembered her from before I totally searched the board to see wtf happened with her. Lots of it was dirty deleted but it was still addicting to read through. Can't believe I missed that shit show!

[erbear]

I still listen to nsync from time to time.

Hahahaha now that's a confession!

I don't know who half the people are in the schoolgirl crush thread.

<---------------- old

[baytosa2013]

I saw what you are talking about and I mean I kind of get it. Most days it can be slow and dare I say boring around here but damn Gina this is the one thread that actually heated up on our BMB since demanda so jump on in the water is fine!

[mirage86]

I don't really care for chick flicks. Most of the time they just bore me.

Oh fuck it. I think it's hilarious that there is J15er posting in parenting who implies they are above even reading our BMBs UO thread.

Yeah, saw that. *eye roll*

Lol, who? It seems like everyone has read it at this point.

Oh she very well may have read it but her comment made it seem like she was too cool to sit with us at lunch. 

I just read that too.

I didn't even have to go over there to check and I knew who you were talking about.

That's a little surprising. I thought I saw her defending the SAHM post as only being a joke. I know she hasn't been over here for awhile but I didn't think she had any ill-will towards anyone...bitches be crazy though, I guess.

Interesting.... She was really active around here in the past. Lately not so much. But no need to trash us, dang!

[Flick]

She said:

I got to the SAHM part and stopped reading and came back here. Did I miss something offensive?

Ahh hell...I'll just stay here than, y'all are good company.

[Flick]

She seems like the type who always has to be at "the cool kid table". She's always kissing ass and trying to make everyone like her.

[carolyngrace]

Flick, You're making me think about what everyone here was probably like in high school. For example, I think Littlechivette and I would have been friends my freshmen year, when I was really sporty and hanging with the cool kids. But then I think you and I would have been friends after that, when I didn't want anything to do with anyone "normal", dyed my hair blue, and smoked a lot of pot.

carolyngrace can i join you and Flick at the "weirdo" table? This place does sometimes remind me of why I hated high school so much.

Yes, please! The weirdo table is so much fun.

I appreciate that in general our BMB is less high school drama-esque than some of the other boards. But it does come out every once in a while!
