wedding that would annoying. I'm very pro-telework for everyone who can, but clearly, there are some jobs you need to be in person. If working for home is going to require others to perform your duties, you don't have a job you can work from home. jewels lolz. Funny. In same ways I'm the mom hiding behind the curtains. I fell down a rabbit hole. There are a few pretty funny ones. I don't know anything about the family that makes them or if they are awful people or anything but they are pretty clever. They did "Come on Vaccine" to the tune of Come on Eileen. And "Do you want to start drinking" to Do you want to build a snowman. I know OF them and not ABOUT them if that makes sense. I've seen some of their other videos. They make the kind of corny crap that would normally annoy me, but I find them funny and somewhat endearing. My nerdy affection for them would drop flat if I found out they were Trumpers or something but so far I've got nothing on them other than they know how to make nerdy material that makes them bank on Youtube. Can't hate that game.

peachsmama , damn. That sounds like a plot from the Brady Bunch. I hope it's not too bad. Oh check my snap story.. I had to drag my shop vac out to suck up the water. Pull my washer and dryer out and dry the floor. Now I'm sucking the water off my basement steps because it flowed out of the laundry room, out into the hall and under my basement door, Down the steps and there's a small pool down there. Alex is just baffled because I've done this twice now and this time I was in the next room the whole time. Step away from the utility sink peach! it's proven to be a bad idea...a couple times over. lol

Hey. S had spring pics at school so of course I overslept and we were late. It’s raining too, to add to the fun. V found a clean mask and has been chewing on the ear loop. I tried taking it away and she threw a fit so I guess it’s fine for today. I DH scheduled to get his vaccine on Saturday. Work for me tonight. jewels my kids love this annia and elsia videos. They drive me nuts. S is slowly getting over her frozen obsession, she hasn’t watched the actual movies in quite a while. Speaking of movies, we watched Raya this weekend and I thought it was cute. I’m glad there was no love story involved.

B and M2 would be besties. He loves Frozen. Does he watch those super weird youtube videos of the annya and elsya (not sure on that spelling) dolls? B is obsessed with those and they are so weird. I’m not sure. I think he has watched something like that, but I was listening in the background and not watching. He was watching this weird peppa pig last night that was dubbed. It was weird, too.

Evie watched those stupid Anya and Elsya videos with the Frozen dolls all the time. They annoyed the shit out of me, but considering what she's watching now, I'd take them back, they were so harmless.
Now she watches the Sharer's and just started watching the Royalty family. She has had her tablet taken away a lot recently. I dont know if she's learning attitude from the videos or its normal at this age, but its bullshit.

Step away from the utility sink peach! it's proven to be a bad idea...a couple times over. lol I did it once at my parents but their bathtub. I drained 3500 gallons of water on their bathroom floor. They still bring it up and it was 12 years ago.. I have a problem remembering to turn off water. I have drained the cistern so many times watering my ponies. I would have water flowing a mile from their trough..

Can't hate that game. exactly. I don't think they are trumpers only b/c everything I've seen has been pro - vaccine/mask etc.

We watched Yes Day the other day. Now S keeps begging me for a Yes Day. Sorry kid, it ain't happening here.

And yes, they want a Yes Day. I laughed because I pointed out how the kids had to earn it by doing good with chores and their HW. I pointed out neither one of them did their entire HW packet or cleaned up some of the shit around the house I've been after them to clean up for days so not to hold their breath.

Just my fat self venting over here...I've gained 20 pounds in the past year. It annoys me because I usually exercise 7 days a week unless I'm at my other job on the weekends then I might miss a day or two. Somedays with TKD I exercise twice a day. Mostly I really don't focus on the scale because it has never been my friend, I just want to be healthy, fit, and able to engage in physical activity without feeling like I'm dying. The past two weeks I've made an extra effort to really watch my diet and eat healthier. I've cut down a lot on volume in general and sweets and increased veggie intake. I only missed working out 1 day after my surgery and my grand total of weight loss is...0 pounds. I wouldn't even care that much but the military has horribly misogynistic weight standards for women (men are allowed to be obese but many women can be fit and muscular but fail weight standards which are much higher for them) so it'd be nice to take off some major pounds. It really pisses me off that I nearly maxed my last physical fitness test but narrowly missed being "too fat." Just feels very defeating.

ugh I'm sorry inthekitty. Losing weight has become so hard as I've gotten older. I used to be one of those people that could just make one small change and lose weight. Now, I'm heavier than I've ever been and can't motivate myself, at all.

@inthelitty ugh I’m sorry, struggling with weight is so hard... I’m also so sorry the military is so biased against female bodies, that’s ridiculous. I’m almost the same weight I was 9months pregnant & know I won’t lose it until I stop bf, so that going to be a while.

nam2013 I was also one of those people who could not lose weight when breastfeeding. I constantly felt like I was starving, my boobs were so comically huge it was painful to do any cardio, and with work I didn't have time to exercise with a newborn. So I never got that benefit of the calorie-loss despite my babies wanting to eat all night long. I hear you. Recently I saw pictures of myself when M was a baby...like it's a miracle my boobs didn't engulf her. They were something. I looked like a porn star (at least in the chest area...not the rest of me).

I've had so many people who are naturally thin tell me things over the years like "drop the soda/alcohol and drink more water," "insert other generic tip here." Thanks CPT Obvious. I almost exclusively drink nothing but water and I know you probably think I sit around and eat bon-bons all day, but that's actually not the case. Some bodies just like to be fat.

Add me to the list of not being able to drop weight. I exercise to maintain the weight I am. I lost weight cutting carbs but I cant maintain that long term, then when I add them back, I gain all the weight back.
Getting old is annoying AF.

I’m sorry. inthekitty Those standards suck. I’m also trying to incorporate more veggies and fruits, but I have to do weights in order to feel like my body is changing. I’m amazed at you working out 7 days a week! I can barely manage to get 3 to 4 good days.

I am in the cycle of drop 5, gain it back, drop 5, gain it back. I need to do better.

I’m sorry you are struggling with weight loss, I’m in the same boat. I really haven’t been trying that hard though so it’s my own fault. I just want my clothes to fit better.

Prior to being forced in a soft foods/liquid diet I was having a hard time losing the quarantine 15 (more like 20). I haven’t weighed myself this week but I’m fitting into work clothes much better now. Honestly since I have 3 more weeks of this I might get back to pre covid weight. Now let’s see if I can keep whatever I lost off.
Tonight’s dinner: pancakes.

If I quit drinking, I’d probably lose 20 lbs.
