I never participate in this because overall I'm pretty boring. But I'll bring out an old one...
A couple of years ago, I "broke up" with one of my really good friends with a mailed letter. For years I had struggled with our friendship and always felt put down by her or made to feel guilty for things I did. I know it was the chicken route out, but I could have never done it in person.
I still keep her phone number and email in my phone just in case she ever contacts me, so I know it's her.
My kid threw up in my bed a few nights ago and I still haven't washed the sheets.
Thank you for helping me remember my FFFC. A couple nights ago DS diaper leaked in the bed at my parents house and I just put a towel down under him and we both slept the rest of the night that way
I saw that DH had put 4 bottles in the sink yesterday and assumed he wanted me to wash them last night...I left them until he had to get up this morning. He then turns to me and said, i have to wash bottles so that you can take DD to day care, I thought you were going to do them last night.. NOPE> I get up every day and go to work (Not saying him being a stay at home dad isnt easy) but when I get home and I kind of steal her from him, he can then go wash bottles... When I was on maternity leave i never asked him to wash bottles because at the time he was still working... I dont feel bad for making him get up at 6:30 to do it either.

Everytime I change BH's diaper I sing him Doc McStuffins, but I change the lyrics:
I feel better, so much better Thank you mom for taking all the poopies away. I didn't feel so good till You changed me like I knew that you would. And I feel better, so much better now.
I've managed to re-delegate a lot of household and kid tasks to DH, so now he is doing a lot more for 2 kids than he ever did with just 1... while I've gotten a chance to relax more.
1. With just DD I used to wake up at 4am to get everything ready for DH to leave to drop her off for daycare at 5:30. Now I sleep until 5am, and get the baby fed and dressed while DH does pretty much everything else, including getting DD up, to the potty, teeth brushed, and dressed. I get myself ready after they leave.
2. I used to give DD 100% of her baths. Now DH almost always does it. We both bath LO.
3. I used to pick up DD at daycare. DH does both drop-offs and pick-ups now. This facilitates me sleeping in later for #1, because now I get to work later and can leave later.
4. I have DH load the dishwasher before I get home so I just have to put a few last pieces in to turn it on. Unloading it has been about 50-50. I used to always do both.
5. DD is eating dinner when I get home. I used to cook it for her.
6. I used to make the daycare bottles before I went to bed. Now DH does it in the morning when he wakes up.
7. DH gets DD's teeth brushed and into her pajamas before bed.

Have you seen the pet vet ones? The whole concept of pet vet is so ridiculous. But Doc McStuffins is DD's #1 favorite show right now.

Wednesday night DD was extra fussy so we decided to just run out to get something to eat real quick. She fell asleep in her car seat and I let her sleep strapped in there for over an hour. She really needed the nap though.

Okay this is totally gross but hey it's FFFC, right? The other day when I was picking up G (DS1) from the sitter, I accidentally passed gas. Like it literally came out of nowhere. The worst part? It smelled, and bad. Since it happened as I was picking up G, I totally blamed it on him. I said out loud, "ohh you passed gas!" )(which of course he replied that he didn't), and then the sitter all of a sudden smelled it, and was like "Oh my!! Yes!"
So embarrassing... I truly don't think she bought it. It did not smell like a child fart.

Homeschooling DD this year for a number of reason. Academic rigor is a big one, and what I usually tell people.
However, another big one is that the principal is a bitch, and treated DH like garbage while he taught there last year. She's totally focused on numbers (headcount, wants lots of students), and this is my way of getting back at her.

I do this all the time. No way am I waking the kid up just to take him out of his car seat.

+3 to carseat sleeping. My child had a week in there where she slept entire nights in her carseat, plus daytime naps. It was the only place she would sleep.

Mine doesn't only because our doctor said he had the beginning of a flat spot (although no else, including the health nurse and our new doctor can see it) and I'm stupidly paranoyed about it. I have let him sleep in the bouncer though.

FFFC: I was annoyed at DH for being late yesterday so after my apt. I wasted time shopping instead of going home. Not exactly mature but I needed some time.
Also DH has a friend who I think is a total puke, and I need to learn to keep my comments about him to myself.

I'm seriously dying right now! I'm sorry that it was embarrassing but that is just too funny! Reminds me of when I was pregnant a fart slipped out at the checkout and the lady with the cart behind me was smelling the stuff in her cart trying to figure out what it was.

Yeah, I totally don't get why some stuffed animals can talk and some cannot. I mean - lambs, hippos, and dragons speak English, but a dog can only bark?

Take advantage of it while y'all can! LBB used to be a great car-napper where we'd just park when we got home and let him keep sleeping in there, or go to the store and get shopping done while he slept in the car. (With one of us in the car and the AC running) It was fabulous.
He just started (like past 3 months) waking up once the car stopped and then not being able to get back to sleep for naps making him especially un-fun for the rest of the day.

We sell pumpkins and mums every year to raise money for the choral department and they have always been a big hit because the plants are gorgeous and reasonably priced. This year, the kids sold more mums than ever- they sold almost 700!! We sell them at $15 bucks per and get 50% profit... You do the math. Anyway, they were supposed to be delivered next Wednesday when I will be back at school and can help unload/organize and distribute. Well, for some reason they couldn't get the trucks for next week and had to reschedule the delivery for yesterday, meaning my sub, assistant and booster club parents had to deal with it. I could have probably brought B down to school to help, but it was like 85 degrees outside (and I didn't want him to be out in the heat all day) and this is my last week of maternity leave, so I just didn't go. I feel kind of bad because I know they were there at 7am and didn't go home until 5pm, but I didn't want to miss out on quality time with my kiddo. Sorrynotsorry
Baby fatmilkisdelish all of a sudden has gone from sleeping 8-9 hour stretches to like 3-4 hour stretches and sometimes taking 2hours+ to get back to sleep in the motn... This morning at 6 I brought her into bed with me and nursed her laying down in our bed on and off between sleeping until 10am. It's been a rough week.
We are sort of this too... He had been waking only once in the middle of the night closer to 3/4am, then once we put him in the crib a few days ago, he started walking up twice.. but last night he was up to eat every 2 hours and 45 minutes... what the heck... So tired today!

Those who had our little ones closer to the beginning of the month are getting closer to the dreaded 4 month sleep regression that everyone keeps talking about. I hope we dont hit it in our house, but anything is possible!! Good luck mommas!!

Z just outgrew the infant insert in his car seat. When I took it out today, I had to vacuum it because there was so much dog hair hanging out back there. My H also ends up doing most of the chores around the house.
To clarify, I'm not sleeping in puke. I laid another sheet over it, and by the time I get home from work and with having open house last night, I forget about the fact that I need to strip the bed until after i'm already in it, and I'm too tired to do anything about it.
ETA: This is another one of those things that I never ever would have thought I would let go, until I became a working mom with an infant. Sleep deprivation and limited time at home have made me care a lot less about things like this.
When Z was constantly puking, I pretty much always has vomit on my sheets. I laid a towel down and went with it. I could have washed my sheets everyday and he would still puke on them MOTN and I'd be sleeping in puke anyway. There are worse things.

I really don't count spitting up and throwing up as the same thing, so if we're talkin infant here, IMO spit up does NOT = puke! At this point my baby spits up everywhere, and its not nasty to me. If I washed everything she spit up on every time she spit up on it, Id be doing laundry 24/7.

This. She spits up in my bed everyday. I was the sheets every few days but not every time she spits up. I don't even put anything on top of it.
