Oh, if anyone wants pottery barn kids Christmas stockings, they're 20% off with free shipping. I wanted personalized stockings and a part of me can't believe what I paid for them but they're cute! I just got snowflakes on ours.
I saw that sale too! I've wanted to get personalized stockings from PBK for years. I just can't make up my mind which style I want. I guess I'm leaning towards the ones that are more sock like?

I'm feeling guiltily annoyed about a phone call I just had with a lady from EDD. She fixed my problem (which wasn't my fault in the first place), but made a point to mention twice, in a snooty tone, that the email complaint person shouldn't have given me her number. A. Not my fault B. Rude C. Apparently you were the person who could fix it... So why not give me your number? But she did solve my problem (paperwork that was supposed to be mailed to me last month), so I should probably relax about it.
Good to know! I'm going to try it because that cookie was expensive and disgusting:(
ETA- and a follow up question....where does one get ground flax seed??
They probably have it in the flour alternative section or if your store has a bulk section.
I got both flax seed and Brewers yeast on Amazon. Here's a recipe that works for me (although I totally put extra butter in instead of coconut oil). www.howsweeteats.com/2015/02/lactation-cookies/?m
I got 2 hours of sleep last night...total, not consecutive, total
I am at work thinking about poor baby C and poor DH
My in-laws are coming in today for an 8 day visit, where they're staying with us
I feel for you!! Can you tell them that C has Hand and Foot Disease and maybe that will shorten their stay?? Unless you really like them and dont care about them staying with you for the next 8 days.

Hahahaha…yeah…no….
Unfortunately they are flying in and out so there is no real way to alter the plans.
I know exactly why I'm gaining weight: I'm home all day so I can eat whenever and I'm a huge emotional/boredom eater. Must keep my hands busy at all times and lock the pantry....
Me too! I actually thought I would loose weight when I went back to work after maternity leave, because I just kept eating all.day.long. Turns out I was wrong...haha!

Annnnnd, I just realized that I haven't shaved my underarms in a few days, which wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that I'm wearing a sleeveless blouse at work today.

+1 to the weight issue. Also my cousin has a baby last week. Gained 5 lbs during her pregnancy and just posted a picture on Facebook of her belly saying "ugh already 20lbs down but my belly is still so big!" First of all now your 115lbs 2nd of all that's your uterus being swollen 3rd of all eff you I hate you.
They are so easy to make. Just take your favorite oatmeal recipe, and add about a cup of ground flax seed. That's it, You don't need anything else! You can add a little Brewers yeast if you want but it's not necessary. You can also make them as bar cookies, which is even easier. Just put in 9x13 pan and bake 25-35 minutes.

I do the same thing. If you have Quaker oatmeal they have an amazing oatmeal recipe on the box then I just sub 1/2 cup ground flax seed in place of some of the white flour.

Oh my gosh whyyyy??? I've been clicking the same link trying to upload my resume' to this application for 20 minutes and it just won't work. Just close the page and move on to the next application. Do not punch the computer over this! Perhaps this is just not the job for me! Perhaps I have had too much coffee today!!!

Someone brought in a carrot cake to work and left it in the kitchen. Just sitting there all perfectly carrot cake-y. Everytime I walk in there it's all I can do not to take the remaining cake back to my desk with a fork.

At first glance all I missed the word 'cake' and I was like, ok healthy eating is good..not sure I'd be feeling that tempted over just a regular old carrot though.
On second read through, it made much more sense. Yum.
If you need to wash your clothes for work then wash them when you have the chance. I am not a mind reader and don't know from day to day what you do and don't need washed and when. If you choose to wait until the last minute to do it without communicating you may indeed discover that the washing machine is occupied because I am going to put the baby's laundry in and do it during the very rare nap he is actually taking without thinking first because it may be another week before I have the chance. You saw me take the hamper out of his room this morning and set it by the stairs to do later today and said nothing to me.
Get over it, wear a long sleeve shirt tonight, and quit stomping around the house grumbling and complaining out loud about how wronged you've been done like someone just kicked your dog and stole your car.
Signed,
The parent who got up with the baby four times last night, while you slept soundly for ten hours straight, before whining that you were too tired to function at 6:30 am, and just can't even today
My guy is fully in the very long leap storm. He has been okay during the day but will not go back to sleep at night unless he is with one of us. I think this storm is like 5 weeks long.
He is also eating more or I'm producing less so I be working on increasing my supply. We've also gone through most of the frozen stash.
Happening here too! He is FF though. He ends up in bed with us at about 3 but then I don't get good sleep bc I'm nervous. Here's to hoping it gets better soon!

I swear my kid is always in a wonder week. I think they make those damn weeks so long so that anytime your kid is fussing, you can look at the calendar and say, oh yep...it's a wonder week.

not to mention how sad it would be that someone just left a random carrot hanging out in the kitchen.
Just fought with homemade pie crust for hours to make the world's ugliest apple pies. How the shit does one get it in the pie pan after it is rolled out without it dying?!

Sounds like somebody has AW issues...is she usually an attention seeker? People really need to learn when to shut up. No one on your FB wants to hear about how fat you feel with those last few pounds still on especially when you weigh 115! That's super annoying!

I roll it up loosely on the rolling pin and then unroll it over the pan.

So a friend of mine told me that she saw someone was selling lactation cookies on a local buy sell trade FB site. Then she makes this disgusted face and says "I can't believe someone would buy cookies with someone else's breastmilk in them! Gross!!"
