R- At the play-date I went to today my friend gave us a $25 gift card to Olive Garden. I felt bad because I am not even sure I got her a card for her birthday. She told me it had been in her wallet a while and was a re-gift. That didn't bother me at all.
Aw- DH, DD, and I all went to Olive Garden with the gift card and had dinner for our 3rd Anniversary. The waitress at Olive Garden gave us a free sample of wine. It was a great night out.
V- DD had several naps in the car today and I have no idea how she is going to sleep tonight.

I'm new to this one. What does each stand for?

R- something random

Aw- Attention Wanted

V- Vent

[queenbabee]

R: I was just throwing the ball around outside for the dog and I threw ball over fence...oops. So DH is back there with flashlight, ass hanging out over the fence, looking for it. My bad.

AW: I just threw the ball OVER THE FENCE! helllllo?! I should be playing in the big leagues FFS!

V: Now DH feels bad and wants to give the dog a squeak toy he's had stashed since Christmas. Um, NO. The baby is asleep like 20 ft away. Please tell me you don't think this is a good idea honey!....AMIRIGHT?

R: My mom brought home a package of Oreos left over from an office party and I was so fucking excited. I've been craving something sweet all day and we have NOTHING in the house. Plus they're Double Stuf!

AW: DS has been a picky eater since about 15 months old. All of a sudden he wants to try new things! He apparently loves goat cheese. Today he ate a ton of cashews. I gave him just a couple at first and when I put the container away he laid on the floor in front of the pantry going "No mama! Cashews peas (please)" until I gave him more. I'm hoping we can discover more foods he likes to eat outside of peanut butter and waffles

V: I have had heartburn the last few days. No clue why. It happens after every meal no matter what it is. Even really benign things that are not heartburn culprits. It is pissing me off because it is so uncomfortable. Ugh.

[trexbeck]

R- I never eat donuts, but I think I'm addicted to Dunkin Donuts brownie batter ones for Vday

Aw - not really sure if I'm doing this one right, but DDs sitter was making homemade chocolate turtle treats and I said how much I love them so she's making me a batch. Yum!

V- it's been so dry out and my skin is dry to begin with so no amount of lotion can moisturize me

[queenbabee]

TheEleventhHour can I please come eat at your house?? Cashews AND goat cheese. Drooling.

[penguin129]

TheEleventhHour My favorite oreos are the mint ones. Yum! Now I want to go get oreos...

R - I ordered girl scout cookies online from my cousin's daughter and they arrived last night! Not that I need cookies, but I am strangely pleased that we received our cookies before they are available locally.

Aw - My Mom came to visit DD for the day (I kept her home from preschool) and was amazed how much she has grown in the last couple of months, really able to express her thoughts and respond to questions. She saw her for her birthday, but hadn't really had any one-on-one time with her since the weekend after Thanksgiving. It made me step back and realize how quickly she's growing up <sniff>.

V - Tonight was the first time I was uncomfortable with DD eating out. She has fully embraced her terrible twos and was a wiggly loud mess. We try to eat out once a week (for my sanity) and usually get compliments on her behavior. I'm afraid we may need to skip the nicer places until she grows out of this stage.

[skategirl128]

R- I'm still on my decluttering kick. I cannot believe how much we really had. It feels so good to clear things out and to only have things that we really need. I've been loving our new minimalistic lifestyle!

AW- I'm really focusing on being more positive this year. Even with all of the hard news I've gotten in the last few weeks I've kept up my list of 5 thankful things and it's really helped my mind set!

V- my test results came back with concerning answers (both tumors are precancerous). I'm scared because I'm DSs only living parent but I know that what's going on is super treatable. I'm basically just upset that I'm as "sick" as I am. I'm a tough cookie though and I'll beat this!

[penguin129]

skategirl128 I'm sorry to hear about your tumors. I hope they are able to treat them quickly.

[gallumbits]

skategirl128 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your treatment goes well.

[tonksy]

skategirl128 strong healing thoughts it resolves quickly

[kiwi110]

R - I'm actually happy that I finally came down with the cold I've been fending off for the last 2 weeks because it is super mild and I'm not miserable at all, just a little stuffy at night. What a pleasant surprise.

AW - I have the woven wrap babywearing bug and am super excited about the custom family tartan wrap I'm getting made

V - The vent is for myself - Self: Get it together with the making food thing. Figure out some staple meals and actually make them. I suck at making time for cooking.

trexbeck - I swear by Keys Tortuga Super Emollient Lotion for dry skin, especially cracking hands. It's the only thing that healed mine up after trying about 10 things.

skategirl128 - I hope treatment goes well!

[sandandsea]

skategirl128 I hope you get better soon!

[tonksy]

R: I think I could subsist solely on peanut butter cups and wine
Aw: I have been able to limit myself to buying lunch only about once a week since the beginning if the month. Though y'all should take most of the credit since it's thanks to the meal planning thread
V: why does my to do list grow 3x as fast as I can knock off tasks? I think it's trying to give me a heart attack

skategirl128
Sorry to hear that. I hope your treatment goes well and that your health is back to normal soon.

[Deleted]

R:It's a beautiful sunny day!
AW: Potty training is showing some results. DD starts running to the bathroom and trying to take her pants of when she needs to go.
V: At self: get yourself together and do some work today!

[namastebiotches]

R: I'm in bed right now while ds is deciding whether or not he wants to wake up. Just when I'm about to go get him, he falls back over & goes to sleep.
Aw: I've been sleeping soo good. Dh has too. He's gonna be late this morning. Whooops
V: I'm still tired & I'm hungry.

[namastebiotches]

Another vent: DS has a little bit of a cough that comes & goes throughout the day. I'm grateful that's his only symptom of anything but it still kills me (yesterday he was struggling with a nap because of it.) He's also been refusing to blow his nose. Grr Is it springtime yet?!

[namastebiotches]

Hugs skategirl128!

[waffles]

So much love skategirl128. You're in my thoughts. You got this girl!

[waffles]

R: I have an instagram account for my rats. We passed 100 followers last night in less than 2 weeks! So naturally I started a YouTube channel and a twitter account for them. I'm out of control.

Aw: DS has been in school 100 days! Well, technically 101 as of today. I'm so proud of all he's accomplished this year.

V: DP is driving me crazy. She continues to describe DS as "surly" lately, which is annoying me. Also, she's quick to lose her patience. I think she often forgets that DS is only 5 and still needs patience and understanding, especially when it comes to school.

[esmerelda]

R- they cut me down to no hours at one of my jobs for next week.
Aw- DD had been very snuggly with me this morning and she can point to/ name almost all her body parts.
V- I just want to sleep for another 2 hours. I can't wake up today

[TheEleventhHour]

skategirl128 Hugs! I hope your treatment goes well and everything resolves quickly.

[legomyago]

skategirl128 - thinking of you!!!

[eyenigh]
