I would take that MS for a little while from you. It did wonders for my waistline and I could use a jumpstart. Win/win :DSorry you're feeling lousy.nbsp;
It is the most effective diet I've ever been on. Lol
Just put the baby to bed. DH is working ( firefighter) and I am uncharacteristically nervous because it is a weird and dangerous day. 2 people have wound up in the river today, one over the falls ( well, they are currently at the falls, Niagara, for the rescue), and helicopters have been circling all day for someone who went in closer to my house. What is going on!?
Here. I am trying to get DS2 to sleep. He has been doing so well falling asleep in his crib on his own but in the last few days he has started rolling over. He is in that lovely phase where he can roll back to belly but not belly to back and it pisses him off when he gets stuck. DH is leaving for two weeks on Monday and I am not happy about this development.
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!
Mostly prompted by my little.... "Discussion" (read: heated semi argument) with DH as he was passing out. Now he is sleeping soundly and my eyes burn from crying and I am trying to send all th negative side-eye vibes I have right at him in his sleep.
If we didn't have people in the guest room I would totally go sleep down there too.
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.
HE, I'm sorry you're having a rough night. It sounds like your current situation is just making everyone irritable. I hope you can both get some time to relax together and decompress.
DH is on shift at the fire hall (which is in the middle of the "state of emergency" flood zone. I wonder how busy he'll be. In the mean time I'll break into his stash of beer. It's been a very long day and the crank pots finally stayed in their rooms. And FU AF.
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.
HE, that sounds like a sh*tty dynamic. Sorry that you're dealing with that.
thank goodness my dad is leaving tomorrow.
I am torn between accepting/understanding that DH needs some time to himself in the day (this does seem reasonable) and getting annoyed that he can't just put sh!t into perspective that it won't always be like this with DS.
I hate to poopoo on DH and I never really speak ill of him on here. He is an outstanding father and I know I am being slightly over emotional. I really just should resolve to not engage in serious discussions after a certain hour at night and/or after a certain number of glasses of wine.
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.
-My son was born in April 2012. He pretty much rules.
Here. Did some shopping at the local dollar store getting puzzles for DD since she's obsessed with puzzles and as an extra tidbit am totally falling off the Weight Watchers wagon...big time! I've gained back 8 lbs of the almost 34 that I have lost over the past year. If I don't start watching myself now all my hard work and dieting will have gone down the drain. That package of twizzlers and sour neon gummy worms calling my name at said dollar store certainly isn't helping my case.
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.

Thanks. I'm going to go out when I can again and do something to help. I feel stupid for being upset, my house is fine this time (and tbh, while ours did have damage before, it doesn't come close by a mile). I've also been involved in fundraising, and after seeing what will need to be done, what has been raised by us and others won't begin to touch what. Needs to be fixed. those poor people. Grrrr. Nana, where's your cute animal gifs when I need them?
H and I are watching M*A*S*H. It's been a long day- it's like DS is having the 4 month wakeful 2 months early. OMFG.
*creeper hugs* to everyone having a bad day.
Growth spurt? Babies are brutal, man.
F'uck if I know. Probably, he's been clusterfeeding like a mad man the last two days. But Sunday through Tuesday, he was just upset all day. Like, inconsolable-type crying. Wednesday, he slept all.freaking.day. Since Thursday, he's just been sort of... whiny?... all.freaking.day. And won't sleep for more than 20 or 30 minutes at a time during the day. Wearin' me down. And putting me in incredible aw of parents with colicky (or whatever) babies.
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.

Clean sheets. Clean sheets! I love clean sheets, hey!
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.

10 weeks.
As I said- I'm insanely in awe. We got very lucky with DS, he's generally been so chill, but when he does have days like this back-to-back, I'm so unprepared for it.
Also doesn't help that H's work schedule just blows right now. But we're (me and DS) going to visit my family in about 10 days so that'll be nice. Calming a fussy baby is like, fun for my mother. Crazy lady.
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 ;]

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!

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.

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.

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.
