Roll Call

missyishere

I'm just finishing up m'packing for our venture up to MN this weekend.  I'm really looking forward to time with my family, meeting some bumpies, and having time away from Iowa.

What's going on for Parenting?

I was sitting with dd, while she jammed to some 1D during her bath. Now I'm drinking wine, watching DH mount our tv.

Here watching Drunk History for the first time. I don't know how I feel about it yet.

Nursing DS to sleep, DD has had a buttmunch attitude today. I'm kind of over the being yelled at to watch a specific tv show thing. Started a rule today that if you scream at me for a TV show while I'm trying to put the damn show on the flipping tv goes off.

Sigh, bring on the wine.

Ooh, you are having a baby soon!  Those judo kicks are not so fun sometimes.

I'm here. We just got back from an after dinner walk. It was awesome because the walk wound the little one down enough that she is now asleep! I am trying to convince DH that we need to go on more family walks because it is so good for all of us.We will see how that goes.

Drunk history is hilarious. Fact.

I've decided you are correct. The first segment I saw wasn't that funny, but the chick talking right now has me cracking the fuck up!

I'm sorta here. DH still isn't home from work. It looks like bath and bed time are all on me today. Sucks. Letting DS run out some wiggles before we get that started. He's hell bent on breaking a fucking bone today. So that's awesome. 

And I really want someone to say something nice about the beautiful boy in my siggy. (I didn't mean to get rid of the pic of my kid's foot in my hair.... work on that tomorrow)

That's hilarious @missyishere

It's really the best.  I need to find my other favorite.  I went on a recent Drunk History spiral, so excuse me while I share.

Having a horrible time getting this baby to sleep. He went from multiple naps to cat naps and.screaming his head off. The screaming is not normal for him and I think he might have reflux or something. I need sleep!!!

missyishere

The actors actually hiccup with her story.  It's so fucking funny.

That may be the one they just put on Comedy Central @ReeseFox.  I missed tonight's episode.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this.  Have you called your pedi about your concerns?  My DD had issues with colic and spitting up a lot, but my pedi never gave us a reflux diagnosis.  It's still tough when you know they're uncomfortable.

missyishere

We'll be near, but not in, the TC @Thisisbrea.

Which episode is it?

They were in Boston and talked about Mary Dyer, an art heist and an arsonist. Wynona Ryder and Connie Britton were in it.

I am actually taking him tomorrow. I hope they can give me some guidance.

I'm so sorry he seems so uncomfortable! DD2 has reflux too. It sucks! Is he arching his back and crying when he eats? Those were our telltale signs. She's in Zantac twice a day and it seems to help a ton. Although her sleep still sucks.

Here! I just got DS back to bed after a nightmare about scary tractors and dinosaurs. As far as I could tell, a dinosaur stole Grandpa's tractor and was driving it around the yard. Fucking thieving dinosaur bastards.

Damn dinosaurs. DS was telling me earlier that he was scared of the giant purple cat that was on his wall that came from outside. Explaining what a dream is to a 2 year old is hard.

I hate laundry. It's never fucking ending.

Word up.

I am grumpy and its not going away. There was a particular really crappy time and now nothing is making me feel better and I will kick anyone's ass who tells me that I cant talk about how much BSE would make me feel better. Except I need to wait for kid to fall asleep or he will use the music as an excuse to come play.

Yep, he does the arching of the back. At first I thought he was just stretching but I have noticed he does it more after eating. Did you have to change your eating habits along with the Zantac?

My spare bed is covered in clean laundry. A chair in my living room is unusable due to clean laundry. There's a load of laundry in the drier. I have *at least* 2 loads that could go in now. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!?

If I ever won the lottery, I would never do laundry again.

Before DS, DW (then Dear Girlfriend) used to totally do the whole "moving clean piles of laundry around the room" thing. Now we own 4-5 hampers. Progress?

Take 10 minutes. Put a load in. Put the clothes on the chair away. #babysteps

Except when I do laundry, I have a toddler who likes to unfold or interrupt my flow.

My lab is at doggy daycare tonight. It's nice to keep the floors clean for more than a few hours. Fucking shedding dogs.

My oldest has an irrational dinosaur fear.  I tell him every night they are all gone/extinct/dead.  He does not believe me.

But then, immediately after I put clothes away... BAM! More laundry! There's never NO laundry in this place. I'm defeated minutes after feeling accomplished.

See, I like to do very little past 8:00 pm @mbenit. It's mommy time.
