I closed by myself last night. I didn't clean up anything because I open by myself today and later on an employee from another store is helping out. I hate him so much so ill do the stuff I was supposed to do last night when he gets here so I don't have to talk to him.
Well, my would-be confession of sending my kid to daycare on my day off is now a valid reason - I'm still sick and have officially lost my voice, so there.
On a funny note, last night while I still had partial voice, I went around saying "hey, my name's Copper, and I'm a hound dog! Aaarrrooooooooooo"
I fed Emily junk food yesterday. She had pizza and chips and some donut. In my defense, the power was out, so it was pretty much all I had, but still. Yuck.
Um, we eat pizza like two or three times a week every week, and that means Emily too. We do mix the styles up a lot and load them up with veggies, but still, pizza is a staple around here. If that's confession worthy I'm in trouble!
Mine: Ben had a fever of 102.5 last night, but I'm still taking him to his little girlfriend's birthday party today. He has zero other symptoms and the fever is gone today and well, I don't want to hear him cry over not getting to go.
On Wednesday our family closed their restaurant that's been open for 60 years so we took evie and Caz to the closing. We left "early" and didn't stay for dinner because we wanted to get them home. So when we left .... At 10... We stopped at the bar H and I work at and had a drink. It's an outdoor bar and it was gorgeous out. We were getting serious judgy looks from everyone. So we had our drinks and then took shots of cranberry juice to keep everyone seriously judging us.
It was great. Evie had a blast.
That's amazing. Zero judging, but I don't know how you do it. I think you are some sort of a superwoman. I can't keep up with one. You are like a week pp. At a week pp I was curled up in a ball on the floor covered in cheese doodles. Every time I sneezed, coughed or pooped I would check the floor to see if my vagina fell out. I would walk around in a daze wondering how did i get here? and why are there cheese doodles in my hair when I don't even eat them? And you were partying at a bar. No judging, just sheer jealousy of your amazingness.
I do laundry Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I did an extra load on Monday, trying to get ahead. On Wednesday, I went to visit my BFF, so I didn't get to the laundry. I went to throw in a load yesterday, and when I opened the washer, the smell was heinous! I had forgotten that extra load in the washer and it sat for 3 days. I rewashed it twice because it smelled so bad.
I think I've mentioned this before. I have always wanted kids and figured that everything would come naturally to me when I did. Well thank God that I didn't have kids in pre-internet time because NOTHING comes naturally to me and I have to google every.single.thing. It sucks to realize that your "maternal instinct" comes more from webmd or parenting.com rather than your own gut.
Without the bump, my kid would be screwed. But IRL, Im the expert all because of here! I wont tell them any different! Hahaha!

Totally agree!! A friend of mine had a baby with reflux and she couldn't get him to sleep in his crib - I had all sorts of tips for her from reading about it on here. One week later he was sleeping through the night in his crib. All my friends think I'm like some sort of baby whisperer. And just like mandie - I'll never tell them the truth!
We are going to the beach this weekend with the in laws. I seriously thought about pretending to be sick last night to get out of going. We live in the same town and see them at least once a week. I am not looking forward to bonding with them all weekend.
DH left yesterday to drive out to TX to move his dad out there. First, I'm pretty pissed off that his dad is moving. He got a new job, but was intentionally looking out of state (didn't bother to try to find something in GA) because he was looking for a change. I know it's his life and he needs to do what makes him happy, but he is going to completely miss his grandson growing up, not to mention miss seeing his own son. Thank God Dex has one set of grandparents who are awesome. Second, I really miss DH! I was kind of looking forward to the time away (since I always get more done when he is not underfoot, lol), but last night was hard. I miss him and I wish he was back.
Also, I have 80,000 things to do tomorrow, and I kind of just want to cancel all of them. Even the stuff that is going to be "fun," since I know I will be exhausted anyway. This is what happens when I forget to write shit down...I overscheduled myself and now I'm kicking myself for doing it.
That's it you and Dex come hang out at CASA DA Malloy STAT!
We're leaving for tomorrow morning for a week in Maine and I haven't packed one damn thing yet. DH was supposed to be working from home today and, SURPRISE, is not. ~X( So instead of packing I have to entertain the kids and I am OVER it this week.
But I am playing the hell out of Candy Crush level 410 while the kids play around me!
I'm really getting irritated with the girls I nanny for. This past week they ern been typical bratty Tweens and I'm just so tired of them. I have them 7-5 every day, along with Tucker, and its beginning to drive me crazy. Next week is the last week but I'm seriously considering being "sick" or something. I just can't take their attitudes anymore!
I'm debating not telling anyone IRL about our upcoming twins. I love sharing happy news but everyone that I've told so far has had negative things to say. For example, they'll say "OMG that's so cool but you're life is going to be so hard. You're not going to be leaving the house for months!" Ugh! I hate it! Don't you think I've thought of these things? Last night a good friend made a comment about my life being over when these twins arrive which led to an ugly cry fit. Thank god DH was home to take LO and leave me alone. I guess the FFFC part is that I'm scared sh*tless about this whole situation. I'm constantly freaking out inside. I just want to crawl in bed and hide.

I'm sorry that reactions from others are making it even harder for you. (And even more sorry that I'm pretty sure my reaction/comment when you told us was probably in that same vein...)
Hang in there. All of your feelings are perfectly understandable.
And I suspect that you and all your beautiful babies are going to do just fine.

God people are so stupid! I got an ugly reaction from my mom about this baby and it makes me feel so horrible, so I totally understand. You're going to be a fantastic mom to all 3 of your kids! Life will be different, but you will adjust and do what you have to do. I agree, maybe it'll be easier to keep the news to yourself for a while.

Do people REALLY think they are being helpful?! There needs to be a hotline that people must call before checking in with a preggly woman.
"Hi PregCheck. Is it ok to tell a woman her life will be over when the babies arrive?" "Thats a negative, sir." "OK thank you, I shall keep it to myself".
PROBLEM SOLVED. Sorry for the idiots and their stupid mouths
Hehehe can someone start a business like this please?
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.
My FC, this is the second week MH is going to be gone for the whole week doing his whole festival shindig. I'm super excited that he's going to be gone, I got soooo much done last weekend when he was gone. I cleaned and did all the laundry and still played with the kid, which is more than he is able to get done on the days he's home. Also, I slept amazing! I don't think LO is what's making my sleeping bad, it actually may be MH. /:)

Im in a funk. I love staying home but I feel like its the same thing everday. Fight kid to sleep, play, eat, fight to sleep again.. repeat. DH comes home and just chills while I coom supper then clean up after supper. I used to could go to town and stuff but Rylan acts so bad that its just not worth the hassle. I feel like Im missing something. Im on all the waiting lists for MDO but so far, no openings. I thought about working part time but I have a feeling thats not going to really make it any easier because of DHs crazy work schedule. This morning Rylan woke up at 4. I did everything I could to get him back to sleep. DH gets all pissy and takes Rylan into the living room to play. I took full advantage of it and slept but he made it out to be like Im terrible for not getting up with him and he had to. That just isnt fair to me. I do everything around here. DH has NO responsibilty other than going to work. Im PMSing and whining basically...

I'm so sorry people are being so stupid. I had some similar remarks of "double trouble" and some people plain out saying "I'm sorry". Really?? I'd usually try to reply with the opposite of "double the fun" or "double the love". Once the twins are born the reactions will be totally different. All of a sudden everyone wishes they had twins. People LOVE twins. I can't go anywhere without people stopping by to comment on them. People will see you as a supermom and you'll get a pass for a lot of things, just for being a twin mom (+1!).
What you're feeling is completely normal. Having twins is not easy. I had my moments of panic during my pregnancy as well. While DH was anxious to get to hold and meet the babies, I was enjoying every bit of my last few moments of my "normal" life. We have a new normal now and I wouldn't change any of it! It's going to be OK!
My FC: I just went back on the Nuva ring but was on no birth control the last month. My dr said not to trust the ring for another month too. But we have been having sex everyday for the last couple weeks. Yes we use condoms but usually for the first few minutes I let him go without. Stupid? Yes.
My H would love for me to get pregnant now but I want to wait at least a year or 2.
Kendall is gone for the weekend at my in laws house, she left last night. I already miss her but I'm excited to go to the mall alone. Also, I'm still in bed. Also, my plans for the weekend are going to make me look like an unmarried, unmom, 20 something. The 20 something part is accurate though.

But I am playing the hell out of Candy Crush level 410 while the kids play around me!
Level 410?? I'm at 91 and it took FOREVER to get that far...
I feel like I must be doing something wrong. I'm only at level 45 and I've been playing for months. I cannot pass a level to save my life.
Yeahhhhh. I have CC issues. I have been playing for a super long time and I am pretty good with puzzle games. It also helped to play both on my computer and my tablet because it gives you double the lives. I am at the point now that mobile isn't supported so I play a lot less. I really, really want to reach the end of the board!! (yes, I recognize I have a problem!)

I feel your pain. Big time. My H works hard and I'm grateful. But he conveniently leaves when she wakes up and comes back about bedtime. He hates the bedtime routine so I have to do it. So he pretty much does nothing but work and come home and get fed and watch TV. Oh oh and yesterday he had the balls to tell me about his amazaing lunch from whole foods. I lost it on him and totally let him have it! I have been dealing with a crazy teething monster, barely had time to eat half a pb&j and you have the balls to tell me about your fantastic fucking sandwich?!?!!!! I refused to cook and made him go get me a nice dinner.

Also, earlier this week MH and I watched this CNN story about a lady that had really bad untreated PPD and drowned all 5 of her kids in the bath tub. He has been looking at me kinda funny since. So I totally told him I need a mental health day to hang out with my sister and go see a movie and have a break in general. He had zero problems with it after watching that show hahahaha. I'm going to keep pushing that button while its hot.

Re: ~FC~
I'm a good mom. Really.
Having said that, I fed Elissa absolute crap last night.
On a funny note, last night while I still had partial voice, I went around saying "hey, my name's Copper, and I'm a hound dog! Aaarrrooooooooooo"
Argh!!! @jfresh - how can i be irritated at you for messing up FFFC when you're so matter of fact about it?!?!
;-)
