Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Luke Kuechly is a Cincinnati boy, who went to my high school's brother school, so I'm half-assedly rooting for the Panthers, but I actually don't care. I'm just here for Bruno Mars and Bey.

they'd root for any team Peyton Manning was on, I think.

Yup, exactly.

Not to mention Lady Gaga KILLED IT with the national anthem.

We're also doing pancakes for dinner for the kids and soup for me. We went to the gym and it was blissfully empty due to the Big Game.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not to mention Lady Gaga KILLED IT with the national anthem.

She did!

Sounds delicious!

It turned out pretty good! Now I have breakfast for the week. Next up is a big pot of savory oatmeal. I'm thinking spinach, tomatoes, pesto, and parmesan.

We're having leftover tortellini and nachos. I know these things don't go together but the tortellini were leftover and needed to be finished but wasn't enough for a meal. Also, I really wanted nachos.

Anyone here willing to talk to me about pumping breast milk either here or back channel? I just attempted to pump for the first time and it was an epic fail. I don't know if I just waited too long or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm way more upset than I probably should be.

Instead of pancakes, Tim requested egg drop soup, because he's feeling under the weather. So I made him some soup, and made frozen waffles for me. Close enough to pancakes for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

sj, I don't know anything about pumping, but I do know something about using new tools to do new things for the first time, and it almost never goes well.

sj, I pumped for ages. Happy to help if I can. It can take some time getting the knack of it and it is MUCH easier for some people than others. Are you using a hand pump, or electric? I found the key for me was to get let-down, which I found needed some mental effort as well as the physical.
