Wedding Woes

Just Another Monday

IDK, I didn't feel like manic for some reason.

It rained all weekend here.  The mold allergens are high and so are trees.  I ended up going home early on Friday b/c of the combo of allergens in the air and my allergy shot that morning.  I basically slept, with just a few hours of getting up to eat, until 3:00 on Saturday.  Then did my chores.

Mother's Day was fine.  I didn't realize how much reading the subscription box had, so we've split the reading, will trade on Wednesday, and then work on it next Sunday.  Also, the Italian restaurant wasn't doing pick up orders, so we ordered pizza.  Then, I had been on her about getting a new stepstool.  The one she had was probably from before I was born and I was terrified to stand on it, so had told her she couldn't.  She bought a new one.  Now, in my mind, it was a utlitarian step stool, like for painting and such.  No, this is some pretty, wooden, library looking step stool.  The tops are slick.  I don't like it, but I put it together and she does.  I can't helicopter parent my mother, so I have to let it slide.  I am going to get some skate board paper for the tops though and I don't care if she isn't pleased with the aesthetic.

Also, based on some Tiktok things I saw this weekend, I want to open a business for sexy chef parties.  We send in the sexy chef, who cooks a wonderful meal for you, you're allowed to respectfully ogle the chef, then the chef cleans up and leaves.  I think this is a banger.  :smiley:

Re: Just Another Monday

  • Speaking of Tik Tok, I keep getting caught up in all this TT drama. First was cakegate. Now it's tattoogate. I spent way too much time scrolling this weekend. 

    Had a good weekend. W had her junior prom Friday night and then had some friends over after. They were all well behaved. Saturday I ran a bunch of errands, cleaned the house, etc. Yesterday I went with my mom and aunt to visit the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. Afterwards we went out to lunch. When I got home, I did some gardening with N and unfortunately got a little sunburn. Totally slipped my mind to put on sunscreen! 
  • My weekend was a complete bust.  Saturday my friend going to the ghosthunt with me told me she couldn’t anymore (her bf had emergency surgery), so I didn’t feel like going alone and did nothing on Saturday, but maybe a little shopping.
    Sunday a flower hike was canceled because the guide had the flu. So I went to Evil Dead Rise alone.  I was shocked no one was bringing their moms out to that one lol.

    what’s tattoogate @climbingsingle? Just a rabbit hole of tattoo reels/tiktoks? Because I have to stay away from those. I have tons more ideas. 
    Your weekend sounds lovely @casadena

    Basically it started as a woman creating a TikTok about a consult fee and then design fee for a tattoo she wanted. And the pricing was astronomical and the design she received looked nothing like what she actually requested. And it took off from there. The responses from the tattoo artist. People duetting the original TT with how much tattoos should cost. Another TT created showing the artist's previous tattoos.

    Well now I’m going to be invested.

  • Just so many emails. Every day there are more emails. 

    I’m exhausted. Did not wean myself off of caffeine and today I was very very tired and cranky. Still am. Couldn’t shake it even after I walked to the coffee shop on my corner for decaf coffee.

    Could you try to reduce?  I would sometimes have a tea or small coffee when expecting and it had an added benefit of....moving things along.

    Thank you! I think this is what I need. I’m definitely used to drinking way too much coffee throughout the day but I think one small cup would probably help more than going totally zero caffeine.

    A cup of coffee is below the amount of caffeine recommended by doctors... From what I remember from my 2 babies. I hated being pregnant, I needed just that little bit of joy in the morning.

    Ssdd here. My sister came to visit and I wish she was still here. We booked our first family vacation since 2019 for the first week of June. We are going to Zanzibar! I am so excited. It will be DD's first flight and I just know she is going to scream the whole time. Pray for us.

    I ultimately stopped with the full travel mug of coffee but would have a smaller diner-size cup or a cup of tea on the weekends.   It was enough to try to take the edge of my complete anger. 
  • Definitely drank coffee and tea all through my pregnancy! Just cut down to less than the 200mg per day limit my Dr. gave. Hopefully you can find a good balance you're comfortable with :)
  • Y’all are making me feel so much better about having a little bit of real coffee in the morning so I’m not a terrible person all day long!

    There's such a stigma about what you can and can't have as a pregnant woman.

    Drink a small coffee, have a sip of a margarita and eat a crispy grilled hot dog.   
  • I have always remembered when Helena Bonham Carter was pregnant.  There was a picture released of her having a cup of tea and, of course, backlash ensued.  She finally released a statement that was basically, "STFU.  I have one cup of tea a day, I love it, I'm not giving it up, and the baby will be fine.  Your input in NOT needed."  I loved it and tell all of my pregnant friends the same thing.
