I'm so over vomiting and being nauseated all the time. We are supposed to go on vacation next week, and we are thinking of canceling it because I feel like crap. It's making me hate the world right now. Cartoons are babysitting my toddler, and I feel guilty about that. I would give anything to have a food craving. Basically there's a big old pity party going on in my house right now.
I had Sesame Street dreams last night because we've been watching so much of it. It's cruel!
Dreaming sorry you are so sick! I am on call tonight. MH is running a half marathon tomorrow and I am taking DD to a birthday party. I need to work on homework this weekend as well. I am done with feeling nauseous all the time.
Hi, my name is Dreaming, and I will spend most of my willpower trying to not puke today. Morning sickness sucks. It's all day sickness in my case. I'm lucky that I didn't have any of this with my DD's pregnancy. But seriously, the morning sickness and acne can go away! #pitypartyofone
Jinx!
It was this bad with my first, and I'm trying to remember why I thought it would be different this time or why I thought getting pregnant again was a good idea.

Sorry to all of you who are feeling lousy I have to work all weekend, and I have no back-up so it will be insanely busy. And I'm exhausted. That's my pity party.

I work with a girl who posted on facebook: a pic of her almost 3 year old son, on the potty with the caption " Working on pooping like a big boy while looking at the big toy book from Toys R US. {{toilet emoticon}}
In my work, we always have a law clerk who is in his/her first year out of law school. So they take the bar in July, start working here in August, and then get their bar results in late October/early November, depending on the year.
Our current law clerk gets his bar results back today at 4:30pm. And he does NOT handle stress well. This week has been a disaster. If he doesn't pass that bar, it is going to make my life miserable.
Look, I get that waiting for bar results sucks. I've been through it, too. But it is not an excuse to drive everyone around you crazy!

F no.
At least she didn't post a pic of the poop. I've seen that with one of my FB friends. Maybe I need to upgrade my friends!

Eewwww. No potty training photos should ever be posted on social media.
This girl though... she finds a way to make EVERY CONVERSATION about her son - who she has called a "genius" on the regular. It's either that or she is one-upping every single thing that you have ever done. I counted the other day and she made 14 FB posts in less than 24 hours. She is also TTC right now and I haven't told her that I'm KU yet. I do NOT want the whole process to be a competition with her.

I don't understand why some people need to make their issues EVERYONE's issues. Be an adult and deal.

Hell no to poop pictures. No to potty training pictures. I follow the rule when posting pictures of G that if I were posting the same picture of myself, would I be embarrassed? I don't understand the "publicly embarrass your kid" trend. Why wouldn't I want to make him look anything other than totally adorable?
I'm 100% with you too... the trend of publicly embarrassing and shaming children really breaks my heart. It's not teaching a kid a lesson with compassion and understanding that children make mistakes. It's brutal and cruel and all about the parents being attention whores.
Someone brought doughnuts into the office today...score! Sitting at my desk eating my doughnut with my heated corn bag on my lower back. It hurt so bad yesterday I had to leave work early. A little better today, but def not 100%.
This weekend DH and I will be ripping out the carpet and padding in the family room and priming the subfloor so it's ready for the new carpet install on Monday. I think we'll have to recruit neighbors to help move the heavy furniture since my back clearly can't handle life right now.
Put me on the pity party bandwagon! I feel terrible all the time. I keep telling myself that last pregnancy I was nervous the whole time because I hardly ever felt bad, so the upside to feeling sick is being pretty confident that things are still going well in there. Gotta find positives right?!
ohiorideresq, My toddler has also been watching way more TV/Ipad than I usually allow but I just don't have the energy to fight her after a full day of work. I think I should feel more guilty than I actually do....they will survive!

I assumed the parents thought the potty training pics/posts were adorable and not embarrassing. The kind that think everything their kid does is the cutest thing ever. No?
I think only posting something you would be comfortable posting about yourself is a great standard. Good tip!
So sorry for everyone who's sick. Thankfully I'm not puking, but nausea and aversions are here in full force.
DH's youngest brother and his girlfriend are coming for the weekend; so excited to see them. DS and I need to run errands this AM but the nausea and grey sky combo is pretty much making me want to curl up on the couch and do nothing.

Good point! But I can't imagine a world in which I would ever think poop was adorable. I just don't understand those people. Yes, the first poop on the toilet is exciting because it's a huge step toward no more diapers, but it's only exciting for those who have to change those diapers. The rest of facebook doesn't give a shit (pun slightly intended).
I feel so nauseous every morning but haven't actually puked yet. Lots of swallowing. Ugh. It takes me 45 minutes to be able to get out of bed. I was actually puking with DS but could at least get on with my day after puking and then only felt 10% sick. This lingering 75% sick all day stuff sucks.
I'm 100% with you too... the trend of publicly embarrassing and shaming children really breaks my heart. It's not teaching a kid a lesson with compassion and understanding that children make mistakes. It's brutal and cruel and all about the parents being attention whores.
Completely agree. I cannot stand to see the children shaming or 'tough lessons' that pop up on social media, it completely breaks my heart for the children, the parents are complete assholes.
I have what I personally consider an adorable picture of DS sitting on the potty reading a book but it will never see the light of day, it's not even something I would send to my parents. Very, very few people (if any) want to see a pic of your kid on the potty and absolutely no one wants to see a pic of your kid's poop, that is just gross.
My Doppler is calling to me from its hiding place. I am 8+1 so technically in PERFECT conditions I might find something. But I know it is much more likely going to be an exercise in frustration that will leave me possibly even more stressed than before, so I'm trying to resist.
