The Long Weekend Randoms

[Chrisse]

Oooh, I like the new menu on the side of the board. 

Can you tell I'm a big fan of the random threads?

I work in a warehouse setting and one of the guys who work out there is going off on a expletive-filled tirade. I love it. Preach it, brother!

H got me one of those digital picture frames so I could bring it to work. I totally love it, but I haven't opened the box yet because I feel like it will take forever to get pictures on it.

I just got sucked into some thread on TTGP on TB. I think my IQ dropped a few points, but I just couldn't stop reading it. I don't even know why I ended up on TTGP. In fact, getting knocked up right now sounds terrible...and I have frozen embryos, so TTGP can't help me anyway!

I can not stop looking at that adorable baby Chrisse.

I'm on there...I just can't stop reading all these train wreck threads! It leaves me no time to actually contribute, lol

[Chrisse]

puffandstuff I couldn't resist when I saw it!!

I couldn't figure out why DS1's diaper seemed so tight on him this morning. Then I realized after I got him dressed that I put him in LO's size 4 instead of his usual size 6. This means 1) I need more sleep and 2) he needs to be potty trained. Even a size 6 is getting tight.

[puffandstuff]

cdseno, how old is DS1? After a month of changing DD1 and DD2 diapers, I started potty training DD2. I couldn't take it.

[cdseno]

He will be 3 the end of February. I try every so often and one day he was in underwear but he just has zero interest and I don't want to force it yet. I told him at 3 it was time to go on the potty.

My New Year's resolution was to spend less time on the internet at work. After this Bump implosion, I have been 100000x worse than before. Fail.

[cdseno]

I have to AW something here because life with my kids has been so craptastic lately. I washed and dried my jeans the other day which I never do because I hate re-stretching them out. Today I put them on and they fit perfectly. I haven't worn these jeans in probably 2 years because I gained too much weight and they looked like leggings. I'm feeling good today!

[acarpediem]

cdseno when you feel good... You look good.

That's awesome!!! Can I be nosey and ask how much you've lost so far?

[yogini kiki]

i just want to make sure that everyone here is cool with snark. i am not mean (methinks that is pretty clear) but at the same time i am not going to humor anyone who legit needs to come back down to earth.

like the best friend we all have that will be like....yea dude, you totes look fat in that dress take it off asap.

yes? no?

[cdseno]

Yes! My sister loves to go shopping with me because I don't pretend she looks good in something. And my friends know that is how I am too. IRL I'm a very blunt person.

[quietjoy]

I'm fine with snark, yogini kiki, especially if it is warranted.

[quietjoy]

Chrisse, I didn't even notice the sidebar until you pointed it out. Obviously I need more coffee (and/or sleep) if I missed that.

[quietjoy]

Z woke up three times last night. If this is the 4m sleep regression that people talk about, I am not a fan. At all. My other two kids never went through that so this is all new.

Good luck girl.  The struggle is real!

I cannot wait for the return of waking once per night. I also dream of sleeping through the night because my toddler didn't accomplish that task until a couple weeks before her little brother was born.

Some moms get really fancy to take their kids to the children's museum.

Just kidding. Snark me anytime.

Everyone needs the friend that tells them they look fat. That's your best friend, in my opinion.

Meh, I don't necessarily agree with that. But then again I don't need anyone to tell me that I look fat, I can see that with my own eyes. 

I do think that everyone deserves to have someone who will be honest with them about everything. But you (general you, not you you) need to be open to listening to what that person has to say as well without getting butthurt about it.

Not a friend who is just like...youre a fatso.  nobody needs that friend.  that is what little brothers are for

The friend who is like...yea that dress does nothing for you and makes you look fat...go get that hot red one.  That one is way better.

[Chrisse]

So. Close. to. Vacation.

Sometimes when I get out of my yoga pants and t-shirts to go somewhere I feel "fancy" but really I'm in appropriate outdoor attire

This is not me. I took my kids to the one near our house yesterday and didn't even manage to re-do the ponytail that LO is constantly yanking on. How do people have time for that???
