What’s TYVM (Thank You Very Much)? It’s my way of sarcastically thanking all the little things that have ticked me off. It serves as free therapy, and boy do I sometimes need some free therapy! TYVM used to be a weekly meme, however, I retired it awhile ago due to lack of participation. The button is still on my sidebar in case you’d like to play along. If so, please leave the link in the comments and I’ll be sure to come and visit.
Thank You Very Much to my sleep issues as of late. One night my allergies will be bugging me and the next I just can’t get comfortable no matter what I try (I realize this will only get worse as the weeks go on). I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep.
To the chocolate milk stain that is permanently imbedded in Buster’s shirt, Thank You Very Much. I have seriously tried almost everything to get it out. I even went to Facebook and asked for suggestions. I finally soaked it in Oxi Clean (per recommendation) and I’m pretty sure it took the stain out. The bad news? It also completely discolored his shirt. Just to be clear, chocolate milk is no longer allowed unless the cup has a top.
To Murphy’s Law, Thank You Very Much for always stepping in and making yourself known at the worst times. As Jdaddy, myself, my mom, and my mother-in-law were all on our way to my ultrasound on Thursday, I got a call from Buddy’s school letting me know that he was sick. There’s nothing like scrambling to make arrangements as your trying to get out the door.
And finally, Thank You Very Much to my grocery store, who was out of many of the things that I normally buy for Buddy’s lunch. With him being such a picky child, it’s hard enough to find stuff that he’ll eat. When that’s not available, it’s extremely frustrating for both of us. I also don’t plan to run to the grocery store more than once a week, so finding time to go there a second time is a PITA!
What/who do you want to Thank this week?

Maybe baking soda and water would have been good for the chocolate milk. Not sure. I hate when I go to get specific things and nothing I want is in stock. I only go once a week too and can’t stand wasting gas to go more.
We have so many stained up shirts it’s not even funny! I’ve pretty much given up on trying to get stains out of stuff:) And I seriously hate when the store is out of something on my list…especially if it’s school lunch stuff!
blah. I hear you, honey…
Ugg… I hate stains! Andrew wore a new shirt to daycare the other day and while playing in the sand he got it dirty (of course) and somehow the cuffs of the shirt are stained. From sand?!?! I’ve washed it twice and soaked it and it still looks like crap. I guess that it is just the cuffs… and it is just a t-shirt so it’ll be ok… I guess.
Stains drive me crazy.
And then when all of your kids are old enough to be sleeping through the night – then you just start waking up anyway cause you are old, at least that is what seems to be happening to me. And how annoying with the store!
Oh gas is too high to have to make a dozen trips to the grocery store. Chocolate is one of the hardest stains to get out. Hope lil man is feeling better hun.
That chocolate milk incident is awful. Totally stinks!
Every time I have given a child chocolate milk, there has been an extremely high price to pay. Walls, Carpets, Clothing. You name it.
Oh, I hate when that happens at the store. I only want to make one trip!
