    Every Thursday morning we have a quick informal admin meeting. The first few times the manager's brought in snacks. I bring food with me, so I don't NEED it, but I'm still hoping someone brings in cookies or doughnuts, even though it will certainly put me over for the day.

    There were no snacks :( *morosely eats her almonds*

    I hate sleeping. It's stupid and a waste of time spending so many hours mindlessly drooling on a cotton-padded platform. Yes, I know staying awake too many hours contributed greatly to my weight gain all these years. But my inner toddler is still afraid he's going to miss out on ... something.

    I know you're speaking English, but I do not understand the words you're saying. I absolutely LOVE sleeping and I'm sad every morning when I have to drag my butt out of my wonderfully comfortable and warm bed.

    Right!?! I see words and sentences, but it's all just gobbledygook. There's no way the word "hate" should be followed by "sleeping." *kitten* heresy.

    FACT. Maybe he needs to buy a new bed and pillows. Try a new blanket too while you're at it.

    There's nothing amiss with my mini-coma equipment. I've been this way as long as I can remember. Perhaps some day we will evolve out of this need to spend so much useless time in gratuitous dormancy.

    And here I am, waiting very impatiently for my kids to become teenagers so I can finally sleep in again.

    After my son's bus got him off to school, I went back to bed for 5 hrs.

    I just read some of that! OMG some people will gripe about anything! Lol
    Confession: I kind of agree with them. I mean, I don't care about the "whole food" aspect of it, but I would like to see MFP adjust the way the database search returns are ordered. I think they should be ordered as : 1) Your Foods, 2) USDA entries, 3) Other user inputted foods sorted from most confirmations to least.

    I agree. This would be very helpful.

    Mine are ages 9-14 and on Sundays when I am not working, I get to sleep in until 9am or so. It is the BOMB!!! Saturdays however, often have evil things like 7am hockey games or other such shite.

    That is the dream. I have about 2 more years until everyone is in school full time. I will most likely go back to work then, but not until I spend a few weeks just sleeping and enjoying the glorious quiet.

    I'm enjoying it while I can. I'll find out in the next week or so if I'm going to need surgery, so I've held off on taking any new long-term work, just checking in to do spot-maintenance on projects that are already live.

    Two out of the three of my kids are the hated "morning people". They get up at 5AM, super loud and hyper from the moment they open their eyes.

    Definitely enjoy it. And good luck to you with your health situation, whatever it may be.

    You're my hero for the day!

    I was sick last Tuesday, even stayed home from work. I slept until 1:30 and only work up because I had to pee, went back to sleep until about 3 when my daughter got home from school. I had zero trouble sleeping all night long that night. I LOVE SLEEPING.

    I wish my babies were still little (21 and 20). My friends had to talk me down last year, I thought I wanted another baby (I'm 41).

    I really, really, enjoy watching/reading other peoples fights on these (not this one particularly) threads. They can actually be quite informative as well.

    Oh, me too!

    Aww. I do enjoy my kids during the normal times of the day, and I love them very much. I just really really need more sleep. I can't go to bed early enough to feel like I'm catching up. Believe me, I've tried!

    That is quite possibly the saddest things I've EVER heard. You NEED to have some cheese fries. Like, NOW!!!
    Are they what we would call cheesy chips?

    Maybe, since across the pond you refer to French fries as chips. At least I think you do.

    Yes we do. I suspect we just grate cheese on top of chips, we don't bother with the fancy stuff! ;)

    I have four kids, ranging in ages from 12 to 2. I am surgically sure that I am finished having kids and am having such a hard time letting go, likely to the point of developmentally delaying my youngest little. I was a fairly strict parent to my older three...weaned at a year, soother gone at 18 months, potty-trained before 2. This one is two and a half and still has her soother (only in her crib) and is not potty-trained (though I think I would not have too much of an issue letting that one go). She is soooo babied and I get actual heart pain when I think about her growing.

    Please believe me when I tell you that several of the mom's at my older kid's school are super stuck up and judgmental. This makes me sound like the jerk, but I'm really so laid back and these people just drive me nuts! The other day, they had a bake sale at the band and strings concert and one of those women made chocolate chip cookies. She listed all the ingredients on a paper and in caps put ORGANIC before each thing, i.e. "ORGANIC flour, ORGANIC sugar.." It was so obviously competitive nonsense ( listing the ingredients at all was not required or expected). She was the winner of best mom in the world for sure. I find this type of behavior so obnoxious.

    And that had nothing to do with anything, except that it was annoying.

    Confession: I want the tank top in your profile picture!!! Is that for real, because if so, I need to know where you got it so I can have it in my life STAT!
    So who's scrolling back and looking for the tank top? I scrolled a bit but never saw anything exciting so figured I missed it. lol

    you can just click berlynwall's name on the original quote to bring up her profile

    OK, found it but don't know what a cheese fry is so probably don't want it on my shirt. lol

    Cheese fries are delicious, but it's actually a quote from the movie Mean Girls - which was a staple of mine and many other's young adult life.

    I remember that movie. lol OK the cheese fries they do look tasty. I've heard of gravy on fries, cheese curds, mayo on fries but it was on MFP that I heard about them all..no photos just sorta guessed what it might look like. Funny how growing up in various areas of the Country we have our 'thing' that's well know.

    I love this thread! makes me smile and not feel so crazy :) My worst was probably the jar of peanut butter someone left at my house. I don't buy it coz I would eat it all in one sitting on toast with lots of butter. so yes I went and bought the bread and the butter and started, about 4 slices in I realised this was probably not good so picked up everything and threw in the rubbish bin outside. A couple of hours later I was getting it out of the rubbish (shame shame shame!) and started again. Then it was back to the rubbish and this time I sprayed fly spray all over it and in the jar of pb just to make sure I didn't return. Even then I did think about it...

    Now if there is stuff in the house I will eat and I don't want it there I put it in the rubbish at the park when I walk my dogs!

    When I pack a salad for lunch at work, it's really only lettuce. Rarely other ingredients are included, unless we have grape tomatoes. And I don't have any dressing in the work fridge, so I use a free packet of soy sauce from the grab bin in the lunchroom as salad dressing. Surprisingly tasty and gives nice salty flavor.

    I have purchased undergarments from a thrift store. Wearing said panties now. I think they're my new favs.
