I'm feeding G puffs and bumping. I needed a break.
I also gave him teething tablets to make him sleepy two hours before his naptime yesterday so that he would take his second nap at 12pm instead of 1/2pm because we had to leave for SO's commencement at 2:30. Then, I took him on a 45 minute walk and he was passed out.
I also was glad SO's dad walked around with G while he screamed for two hours yesterday. The noise in the stadium was too much for him and honestly, it was nice to actually see SO walk and enjoy myself.
I was glad G woke up the minute SO tried to DTD this morning. I tried the other day and he was "too sleepy." Payback is a bittch, sucka.
Re: FFFC
A girl I used to work with, who was promoted to manage a hotel over me, was fired from that hotel for stealing $10,000. I'm honestly not surprised. She had been on Maury not once, not twice, but THREE times. She was in jail for check fraud years ago in Texas. Once trash, always trash.
It's flameful because I'm reveling in someone elses misfortunate.
I'm making this for a Stella & Dot Girl's Night Party tonight. I will be eating a slice even though I've been eating really well and working out really hard trying to lose weight. I get to treat myself sometimes.
Bump stalking scares me. I like to keep my bump separate from IRL. I stalked Sept 12 awhile to see if my friend posts there, but I haven't seen anyone that resembles her.
I am part of a local BFing group on FB. Many of the women are preachy and seem so high and mighty. They make it seem like if you do not BF you are not trying hard enough, not educated, etc.
Sometimes it makes me not want to BF because I do not want to be associated with these type of women.
I BF my child because luckily it worked for us and it is still working. I wish women would get off their high horse and just support one another.
I made that twice last summer. It's easy and people love it.
I'm so excited to try it.
And double bonus, king sized kit kat bars were on sale at target for $1 yesterday so I saved a ton on those!
Somehow the baby monitor wasn't on this morning. I'm almost positive it was on when I went to bed last night so I have no idea what happened. Hopefully DD wasn't up crying in the MOTN because for the past few months she always wakes up at some point. Even if she did though, she was fairly happy when I finally woke up and the sleep was SO nice. I haven't slept 8 hours straight in months. Kind of makes me want to turn the monitor off at night.
Another confession, I yelled at her yesterday there was food and pee all over the floor and she put her hand in her dirty diaper and DH has been gone for months so I was feeling way overwhelmed. I apologized though, pretty sure she forgave me
Drives me nuts that some people are so preachy and pushy in their opinions. Like their way is the only way.
Like BF/FF or NIP/using a cover
Everyone has their own opinions, as long as the baby is cared for and not in danger, let them be!
I guess there are extremist in all areas of life.
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.
I'm afraid to sneeze.
On the bright side, Mr. Sexy on a Stick will be home tomorrow !!!
I know he hasn't seen the babies and kids in 2 weeks but, I'm declaring Mothers Day an actual freaking date night.
I do what I want....

I rarely wear deodorant and when I do it's an after thought. I keep some in my desk and in my purse in case I feel like I need it, but I don't start my day putting it on. I just rarely sweat and I am pretty sure I don't smell. ha.
It Kind of scares me too because I'm afraid people might see it but I guess it's not a huge deal, I'd rather be on there talking about TTGP because it helps me stay sane. Its worth it to get caught by a friend IRL. But I really don't think my friends go on those boards.... Fingers crossed lol.
I don't enjoy other people's children of any age. Except for my nephew, I generally find them all annoying, even my best friend's kid. Everyone, including my family, was shocked that I decided to have a baby.
I feel like my life is spinning out of control and I am not letting anyone help me with it. The best way I can explain it is the weight that you feel when you are tired or sick, that is how I feel all the time now. This started about 2 weeks ago and I feel like my marriage is going down the drains. I know it is my fault but I am not sure what to do. I feel if I go talk to someone they will just want to put me on meds to cover up what is going on and I don't see that being helpful.
I guess the FFC is that I can see that I am being a bad wife but at this point I am so far in my darkplace that I don't seem to be doing anything to fix it. My DH told me that I don't seem like I care about him anymore. I do but my body and mind is telling me I don't care about anything anymore.
I agree. My dad once said, "what is the problem with having another reason to celebrate?". That is the way I think of pretty much any holiday. If it gives you a reason to celebrate something, why not do it?

Not all therapists push medication. If you're against it, make it clear from the beginning. Take it from someone who has had a lifelong struggle with depression, you owe it to yourself, child and husband to feel better.
Haha, this is how I feel about anyone who drives a Prius. Yes, there are people who drive them purely for the fuel economy and/or to drive in HOV but I always feel like they are so judgy of everyone else in their normal cars and think they're better than everyone else because they are single-handedly saving the planet.
But yes, people in Hummers are clearly trying to overcompensate for something.
Proud Mama to cleft cutie
I feel the same way. Mother's Day just feels like a whole lot of work, trying to include the whole family. I just want to stay home with my baby.
Girl you deserve it!
But didn't you hear? If your birthday is on Monday, the holiday volcano moves Mother's Day to July 7th for you. You need to check your volcano mail more often.
Umm how do you make this glorious cake?
My therapist was totally on board when I told her I preferred not to try anti-depressants again. She suggested it one time and I reminded her why it wouldn't work for me (unless it was an absolute necessity) and she said "Oh, that's right." and went on with the therapy session. And it worked wonders. PLEASE call someone! If you don't click with them, keep looking.
Haha just a regular 2 layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and then you stick the kit kats to the frosting around the sides, top with m&ms and use the left over frosting to attach the m&ms on the side!
Me too! Totally unnecessary.
Me too. My sister is a single mom and always wants everyone around do she's not feeling quite so lonely and I get it, but for just this first Mother's Day I want to be with my family.
I agree but at least they serve a purpose. Hummers are unnecessary.
I REALLY can't wait until DSS is well enough to go to school. He missed the ENTIRE week with this infection that looks like flu but apparently isn't. I give up my one hour of DVR time and one nap with DD because they're during his meal times. I want my snuggles and TV, dammit!
I SAH and make dinner. Men can do it too.
BPaws my birthday is today so I feel like I'm getting shafted too! Growing up I always thought of it being cool for my mom that my sister and I's birthday was so close to Mothers Day. Now it's not so cool, haha.
This was going to be my confession, too! I was saving it all week.
My birthday is on the other most hated holiday, Valentine's Day. I don't care if people should show love every day. My SO loves me every day, and tells me I'm beautiful. So what if he goes all out for Valentines, or now Mother's Day? Bring on the spoiling!
Thank you BDL. Insert Mobile smiley face. The big two five.
Molly, we're secret bumper friends! DH doesn't know I bump, either...
