Watching my kid tantrum because I would let him bite and suck and possibly choke on a plastic toy French fry. His world is currently ending.

Our bag has been found and should be here before lunch. I cannot wait to change my clothes and take a nap. H went to the super target to get some clothes and told me I’m going to fall over dead when I see the place. I’m not sure what makes a target super, but it sounds magical.

Laundry. Including bedsheets. Which means I'll probably also tackle the linen closet today. I managed to only spend $300 at Costco today. The guy who was bagging didn't have a damn clue what he was doing, which was pretty annoying. Anyway, pretty quiet day overall I think.

I'm home sick today, currently at the walk in clinic. I don't really feel much worse than yesterday but I wanted to try to figure out what was going on. I have no idea what they'll do when I tell them I'm pregnant though.

I have no idea what they'll do when I tell them I'm pregnant though. I was thinking about how you were feeling in the wee hours of the morning today (yesterday? I don’t even know anymore). I hope they can give you something to feel better. If it’s the flu, tamiflu is safe. If it’s strep amoxicillin and penicillin are also fine and usually what’s used anyway. I’m hoping for you that it’s both not that serious, yet something you can get some medicine for IYKWIM? The head cold going around a few months ago almost killed me. All I wanted was a decongestant and aleve.

It feels like some type of throat infection but we'll see what they say. They just did a throat swab.

My friend just texted about going out for her birthday next weekend and all I can think about is how I can get out of it. It's freezing, it's going to be late and I can't deal with hiding not drinking for another night. I think I'm just going to wait until the day before and make up an excuse. Is that awful?
Another friend also texted about hanging out for her husband's birthday the following weekend but at least that's just pizza at their house. Why can't I just hibernate in January?

I have no idea what they'll do when I tell them I'm pregnant though. I had strep when I was early on pregnant with M. The antibiotics were safe. Now when I thought I had pink eye with H, they had to contact my OBGYN before they'd give me anything. Lol.

Got scared this AM... mischief tagged me and I didn’t recognize the thread name! When non-N16ers tag me... I get anxious!!
Taught 2 swim classes this am and in a few running back out the door so I can take the puppy (ok she’s 3) to the vet for her check up! I’m done single parenting but I have 2.5 more weeks!

Plus they know I don't have much issue with getting my mom to watch him. Maybe I'll just use C as an excuse lol.

goldenlove I have declined so many invitations since getting pg. I felt like poo and couldn’t drink so no. Don’t feel guilty! danib does your Costco have bags?? Ours doesn’t. They sometimes give you a used box for smaller items.

I'm at work. It's a co-worker's birthday and we're ordering from this Korean BBQ place. I should have brought my lunch since I'm doing W30 but oh well, I'm getting some short ribs. I just won't eat the rice.

H went to the super target to get some clothes and told me I’m going to fall over dead when I see the place. I’m not sure what makes a target super, but it sounds magical. I think Super Targets just have a full grocery section in them. Although I could be wrong because both Targets that are near me aren't labeled as "super" have grocery sections, although they aren't huge. All that to say IDK, man.

They sometimes give you a used box for smaller items. We have giant Costco Reusable bags. So super easy to bag. You just open them up in the cart (2-3 will fit, depending if you have a child in the seat) and line stuff up so that it fits. Then if needed put another one on top of those and fill. Dude was trying to put the diapers and giant tub of laundry detergent in the basket rather than on bottom, almost lost my eggs (ripped the carton and everything) and put them on top of my bread in an otherwise empty bag (both of which could have easily been stored on top of my boxed items in either of the other bags so they would have had structure around them rather than falling around and breaking), the lady scanning had to point out to him that we had a cooler bag when he was about to toss my chicken in with my bananas, etc. Most people at our Costco have these bags (they sell them) so it's not like it was a new thing. I discovered that he did break one of the eggs, but now that I vented I'm releasing it.

Another friend also texted about hanging out for her husband's birthday the following weekend but at least that's just pizza at their house. Why can't I just hibernate in January? I'm torn. I know the feeling of not wanting to go out (dis me, especially lately) but man, January birthdays really are the worst. No one ever wants to do anything or they're dieting or trying not to spend money. It sucks. If you could make up some excuse now, do that instead of the day before so she can hopefully set up alternate plans. PDQ ***sad moping ahead*** Where was it recently that there was a thread of people discussing their memorable birthdays? Can't remember if that was here on GD or on gbcn. Anyway I didn't participate because I couldn't really think of any really good birthdays outside of childhood. The closest would probably be my 30th when my H threw me a surprise party, but only about 10 of my friends could come. It was a nice surprise but we all just hung out for a few hours and had food and cake. So kind of boring for my friends. The worst were the three years I had to spend my birthday alone (though that third one I had an infant A so I guess I wasn't technically alone) because my H was in Toronto for his company's annual work thing. Can you tell my birthday is Monday and I'm less than enthused about it? I don't feel like celebrating at all anymore, especially this year. Sorry to unload everyone. I think I'm just feeling depressed. I miss my dog.

I’m sorry elle. Feel free to unload. I can’t imagine the pain you have right now, especially with the holidays and now your birthday. I wish all of us could teleport to you and have a fun night in to celebrate you.

I'm sorry, now I feel like an asshole. So many people have it so much worse. I have it good, I'm just feeling really down. Cheshie6 I know you just celebrated your birthday and your H is oot for work. I hope you're able to do something extra fun when he's back in town in a few weeks.

elle I get you. I've never really had a good birthday. They're no big deal to me at this point in my life because they've never really been special, I guess. Will YH be out of town again on Monday?

elle, I feel like having a January birthday does suck! Even as a kid, they were crappy. Most gifts were Christmas/birthday so they never felt like it was for my birthday. My niece’s birthday is Monday too and I make sure she always has a gift and not in Christmas paper. Also, I’m in a friend drought right now so even if DH we’re home to watch Liam, I’m doing something alone anyway. I’m sorry your still sad!

Happy Friday friends. I had a play date this morning with a cw and her daughter at our discovery world museum. It’s free this month for anyone at my company since we’re a big sponsor! Came home for naps and now we’re watching a movie before start dinner. Sorry you’re feeling down elle. My birthday is at the end of the month so I know Jan birthdays can be a downer sometimes. I usually find something to look forward to on my own or find something as a treat for myself. Not sure what I’m doing this year yet, but I think I’m going to spoil myself with a new pair of gym shoes and a few new sets of workout clothes, which are severely needed. I’ll prob book a pedi for myself and I need to get my eyebrows waxed, so some time at the salon/spa is in order. I know everyone is different, but for me, it will make it feel special enough. Feel better goldenlove ❤️

No but neither of us are really in the mood to do anything. He'd happily suck it up for my sake if I wanted but we're both still so sad. I know it makes him feel awful because he wants to do something special or celebratory but I'm honestly just not feeling it this year. I've never really had a great birthday but this one is particularly lousy. Oh well, at least it's using up a Monday birthday. 😏

But I think sometimes the best cure for sadness is to just find something that you would otherwise find fun and go for it. Just getting out there, finding a little momentum, and taking a second to breathe helps. So think of somewhere you love to eat and a dessert shop that makes you happy and just go. Even tho it feels like a huge emotional suck, try to make something happen. You may be surprised. That's my best advice.

It is the grocery part that makes it super, but the target selection itself is amazing. Ours at home doesn’t have regular stuff like maternity clothes, or any of those new brands they came out with last year. I go online to look at all the stuff normally and order it, but to see it in person was very cool.
