Saturday Night Roll Call!
Who's here and what are you doing?
I'm making pizza. Rosie is going to bed after dinner tonight. Exciting right?

Re: Saturday Night Roll Call!
I had better not still be losing weight.
It's 11pm and still feels like 90 degrees. I'm hot and wish I had AC.
My poor boys are both chubsters and they were so sticky and sweaty all day. They're miserable!
My 4 Angel Babies.....
MC#1- 12/2008, MC#2- 05/2009, MC#3 07/2009, MC#4 11/2009
Training to become an IBCLC. BF Questions? Just ask!
It is the most effective diet I've ever been on. Lol
Jealous of Nana's pizza.
I'm sitting with a mud mask on my face waiting for it to dry before I shower. Crossing my fingers that DS sleeps longer than an hour this time.
My stupid neighbors are YELLING out on their balconies. I get it's a Saturday night in the middle of summer (and if I were childless, you best believe I'd be drunk on a balcony right now, too), but I do not live on a college campus. QUIET DOWN, YOU HOOLIGANS!
Y'all are making me sad, and now I want to creepy e-hug both of you in the most awkward, yet loving fashion I can muster.
That blows. I'm sorry. I swear my husband and I save all of our arguments for when we have company in the house, thus preventing me from skulking around freely.
Every weekend should be a four day weekend.
I can't believe I still have one more day off!
Growth spurt? Babies are brutal, man.
I think the Jetsons had a 3 day workweek. I vote YES.
I second this.
My bad mood is mostly from my family. They offered to help with the kids during my surgery and all of a sudden, they don't know what plans they will have. I should have known better than to take them up on the offer. Obviously there is a ton of history and I'm mad at myself mostly. Now I have to find someone to hire. I'm a planner and would liked to have started sooner.
Also, our commercial tenant, the yoga snatch, is already becoming a headache and I don't want to deal with it right now. I knew we should have just sold the property, but we're sentimentally attached to this particular building.
I hope he stays safe! and I'll +1 your FU to AF also.
I feel like I can relate to your DH, at least at some level. DS is 14 months, and he's a handful. I work a hard during the week (as does DW, as a SAHM). Sometimes, on the weekends, it feels like I get zero time to myself. DW sometimes books us pretty solid with kid's birthdays (ugh) family stuff (fun, but we always stay longer than I'd ideally like) and other stuff. She also wants us to spend time as a family, which I get and understand, but I do need my Me time. I'm not always the best at asking for it in a calm manner. The past couple days I've actually been doing really well at that, and it's worked well.
I hope you two can work through this hiccup. It kinda does sound like you're both just tired and stressed and don't have the energy to deal with things like calm, rational adults.
HE, is there any chance of you and your DH getting a date night? Even an hour alone to talk without a kid and eat some dessert can give you a little boost.
I just have to tell myself that I am not going to let my family put a guilt trip on me later. I know they'll decide at the last minute to give some half-assed help. Then they'll pretend to be so offended when I remind them that I had to make other arrangements. I am not going to get sucked in to my mother's mind games. <---- I need to repeat this everyday.
LO was down there this week. I need five minutes without rug rats around so I can cry. It's bad. I know he'll be safe, but that doesnt mean something couldn't go wrong. I think AZ has some of the guys a bit on edge.
That must be hard for all of you. Take some time for yourself to let it all out and give him some extra hugs when he gets in.
Great, thank you! I was supa nervous going into it, but it [meaning me] wasn't nearly as awkward as I thought it would.
Yay for non-awkwardness! Meeting web buddies IRL is always nerve-wracking.
How old is he again? I'm on mobile. Growth spurt? I had a colic baby, so I get it. It was exhausting, and a big reason I'm biologically OAD.
Cuz nobody can be sad when there's a corgi around.
Surprisingly, there was very little Benny talk. We talked a lot of mom stuff.
Early release for good behavior. 50 years would have been a long time.
Seriously though, BJ unbanned me on Monday. She said it was just a glitch.
Now I am washing my sheets tomorrow! Thanks for posting this. It'll be a few days earlier than needed, but clean sheets feel so good. It'll be a nice pick me up.
It still isn't fun, and it's perfectly okay to admit that. Just remember it's temporary. They do return to fun little squishies. Your mother sounds great. Hopefully she will feel the same about a toddler ;]
