I have a great substitute, which helps a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468762 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 15:51:06 +0000 Cherrybee 2468762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is drinking - and I would be if I could - because E had diarrhea in her big girl pants today. Oh.my.god the horror! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468758 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 15:44:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2468758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: That sounds so familiar! We used to take 5 minute walks because that's all the baby could stand before melting down. We would have just worn him but it was Soooo hot.</p> <p>Yeah, gotta love middle school. Are you going back at the end of the year? At least your kids got suspended. Ours get a pep talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468394 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 23:46:55 +0000 ldh112 2468394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because I went out with a girlfriend :) We just had one cocktail but I haven't gone out on a Friday night since pre-baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468366 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:39:46 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2468366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not drinking. I got comfy with a glass of wine and the remote after bedtime and promptly started getting horrible stomach cramps and got sick to my stomach twice. </p> <p>To top it off, I've realized I am allergic to the dog we are pet-sitting, this night really went downhill fast. My husband had to go to the store at 10 pm for pepto and Zyrtec! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468352 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:19:52 +0000 Smurfette 2468352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the better question is why aren't you drinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468351 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:14:55 +0000 macintosh 2468351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because the pizza I ordered was an hour late, making everyone (even the baby!) cranky :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468350 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:13:50 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2468350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because DD has been super cranky &amp; clingy, &amp; not napping well and up earlier than usual today. We also have construction in our neighborhood so it took me almost as long to get out &amp; back into the neighborhood as it did to run all my errands this afternoon AND I almost got in a wreck trying to find an alternate route. :bummed: Definitely worth a small glass of wine after I nurse LO. And chocolate. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468343 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:06:58 +0000 MrsSCB 2468343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could drink tonight... We just got blocked into a parking lot by a giant SUV limo that someone hired to take a bunch of six-year-olds to Sprinkles 😒 When we honked to get them to move forward three feet so we could get past, the dad yelled "get the fuck out!" as we drove by. In front of the kids. Charming. A glass of wine would be nice but I'll have to settle for a cupcake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468340 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:02:27 +0000 travellingbee 2468340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love a drink after this week from hell (flu making its way through the whole family, toddler home all week, trying to keep newborn from getting it, having a fever myself and trying to parent a toddler and a new born, toddler suddenly being crazy jealous of the baby and acting out, annoyingly high medical expenses for said flu...) but since I still have the flu, I wont. But when I'm recovered... Totally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468334 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:43:33 +0000 Hoots 2468334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because the baby is asleep, the laundry is folded, the dishes are done, and I've pumped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468328 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:31:23 +0000 MrsSRS 2468328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because DH was supposed to be home from his trip yesterday but is getting home tomorrow and since nothing is helping this clogged duct, maybe a beer will. And because my toddler and infant tag teamed wake ups last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468327 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:28:52 +0000 wrkbrk 2468327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Sooooo sad. I wasn't a kid person before DS, and I worked a ton, so I really didnt expect to feel this bummed about going back.

I felt so, so bad for him. I'm doing Whole30, too, so not only did it add to my carb-free crankiness, but I probably won't even have that drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468250 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 19:01:10 +0000 PurplePeony 2468250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because it's Mommy's Night Out with a bunch of the moms from DD's preschool class! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468245 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:53:05 +0000 stargal 2468245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: big hugs ❤❤ days like that are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468243 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:51:59 +0000 meganmp 2468243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was being kind of off today- whining, clinging, not playing at the Children's Museum, etc. He told me he needed to go potty three times and never went. On the third time, however, he puked all over himself, me, and my purse. His spare change of clothes was in the car, and he was freaking out. I had to get him all cleaned up, get the floor cleaned up, and put him in just my coat to walk out of the museum, all while listening to other people complain about how stinky the bathroom is now.</p> <p>That's why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-you-drinking-tonight#post-2468242 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:51:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2468242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because my toddler skipped her nap today, and the baby hardly napped out of my arms all day. And DH is getting home late tonight so I'm doing bedtime alone. Unfortunately we have nothing to drink in the house until he gets home but he has already been instructed to pick something up. </p> <p>@simplyfelicity: really? 7th graders are still that dumb? Though DH told me a story about a time he stuck a paper clip in an electric outlet, just to see what would happen. In high school. </p>
