I always feel like Buddy the Elf trying to get on the escalator when I start to write something in here. lol

Anyway, I've tried to catch up as much as I can, and hugs to all you sick mamas and babies and you ladies going through tough times!
Also, I bought the 30DS DVD after Mikayla was born with every intention of doing it. It is still in the wrapper over two years later... Giant fail.

@wasnotwas EXACTLY!! hahaha! I type something out and then erase it bc it was like 6 pages back and not relevant anymore. But then I type something else, forget about it, come back and again it's related to something 8 pages ago. GAH! I can't keep up!!! (

I love Elf. On top of having a generally crappy Christmas this year, I never watched it this holiday season. I may have to put it in the DVD player this weekend.

I learned the hard way, about 30 minutes in, that it is not appropriate for a 2.5 year old. He was like shaking and crying because he thought Buddy as a baby was Tyler and that Santa had taken Tyler in his sack to the North Pole...he never recovered.

Get out of my head!

I think I'm going to take a nap...I'm not in a good mood so I'm hoping a nap will fix that!

I also have the 30 day shred and will join everyone else doing it. I need workout buddies. @colieann31 @nickip15 @nachellebeck what size hand weights did you get?

Since DD is pooping like crazy these days I finally gave her banana. I decided to just cut half a banana lengthwise and let her self feed and she did great! I'm so impressed, she ate both spears only leaving the little part that was in her fist and didn't gag once (we have had some serious gagging with finger foods previously). I

And I still gave her half a container of prunes after because I'm constipation-paranoid

I think it is hilarious that I got "flamed" by a nobody for complaining about a certain poster for repeat and stupid posts. And yet again she surfaces but it wasn't the her we thought...whatever. Whoever you are GTFO of The Bump.

And, I'm a huge bitch this week so I'm just choosing to stay away. Miss ya!!

momofcatan

Well, the prunes were a BAD idea. That's the first blowout I've needed to clean in months.

A family member who got married at a court house is now going on and on about planning her "real" wedding. There are not enough eye rolls in the world right now.

Can I ask why the eye rolls? Not being snarky. Genuinely curious.

Because she's suggesting that her courthouse wedding, and others, are somehow fake.

Wasn't sure. I had a courthouse wedding myself and when I talked about having a bigger ceremony for my 10 year to renew our vows a friend got snarky with me. It would be AWish of me because "You had your chance to have a big wedding, and you didn't. Why would a bunch of people want to come now?" Rubbed me the wrong way. But, I get the eye rolling at her referring it to not being a real wedding. If it wasn't real then why bother? Super annoying. Sorry for you.

I think yours is a brilliant idea. Have the big party once you've put some time in and have a reason to celebrate!!

Right! And, it's not like we'd have a shower or want gifts or anything. I just want my dad to be able to officially give me away, have the dress and look stunning, and see the look on my H's face when he sees me. We have grown and changed so much over our years together and I think it would be pretty awesome to stand there in front of everyone and show we are even more in love and committed than the first time we did it 10 years ago. But, if I'm gonna do that I need to get on the ball. We hit 8 this year. Lol.

PinkPuffyHeart2

I'm having a bad day.

SilverEF

@tiffletons518 I love this idea.  Don't listen to your friend.  Could your friend be saying this because she thinks you are doing this for gifts? 

tiffletons518

@SilverEF I think she was probably more jealous than anything because she didn't have a great relationship with her husband

@zigspective Ok yah.. totally get the eye rolling now.

I think 10 years is a pretty big deal too. I'm pretty excited. Lol.

@JanCanDance come back! I'm trying to stalk and don't see any recent flamings.  Are you talking about the flaming back when we all ganged up on that lady?

she's talking about Cynthia#s...it must be something with the SN on FB and here she's posting stuff we have already talked about at length

LiLi23

@tiffletons518 That sounds like such a fun idea! Your friend is nuts. I would love to go to something like that. I honestly wish we had done the same thing. We got married when we were 23 and had a pretty big wedding. Neither of us really wanted it, but it meant a lot to our parents to have the big wedding. We both said if we could do it all over again we would've done a destination wedding in Aruba (where we honeymooned) and anyone who wanted to come could join us.

And 10 years is a big deal! We'll hit 8 years this year too, which is just crazy to me.

My daughter has decided she hates her bottles and will only eat half of a regular feeding for me. She wants nothing to do with a sippy cup either. I'm struggling with the patience I need to feed her lately.

End rant.

Um, I just got into the NYC marathon in November and now I am freaking out. It didn't feel real until it charge my credit card $266. Holy hell, now that I put that much money on it you bet your ass I am going to cross that finish line even if I crawl.

But seriously I'm going to have diarrhea at the mere thought of training and long runs with a kid that still gets up several times a night. Oh and as an added bonus I know my husband won't really be supportive because of my history of injuries. And lack of family time on the weekend when I want to run for 2+ hours. I can already feel the guilt trip in his eyes burning a hole in me. 

No longer the best

Whew just got caught up.

I just wanted to send a message out to you ladies!  You are all wonderful Mothers who are so busy and balance so many things and manage to keep focus about what is most important.  

Next time your LO smiles at you just think about how much he/she loves you.  You are the world to him/her.  

Sorry for it being so generic but I figure it applies to quite a few of you.  

tiffletons518

@LiLi23 That was us. I was 22, him 23. We didn't have the money for a big wedding and neither of our families really had money to help us. We got crap from a few people that told us to put it off for a few years until we could afford a big wedding. I told them I was marrying him because I wanted a marriage not a wedding. I don't regret doing it that way for a second.

PinkPuffyHeart2

Thanks @cl8badb and @subliminalrabbit ...had a big screaming match type fight with h this morning. I'm just over it...

ColieAnn31

@pinkpuffyheart2 I'll kick his butt for you! I'm not in a good mood and I'm feeling feisty today.

tiffletons518

I want to whine, but I can't really give details because for anyone who knows me IRL that knows I'm on here... it'd be pretty easy to figure me out. I don't want to deal with the potential drama it would cause. So, I'll just say... I hate being a grown up sometimes. When you're younger and you are nice to people you don't like, you're "being fake." But, as an adult when you're nice to people you don't like, it's called "Being the bigger person." Boo.

ColieAnn31

@tiffletons518 I hope things turn around for you soon!! I think everyone here needs a good pick me up!

@PinkPuffyHeart2 So so sorry! What is with our men this month?? If it makes you feel any better DH threw the clothes I had in the dryer across the basement floor (DD & I were upstairs when he did so) before he left this morning because he was mad that "there are always clothes in there." I am debating whether to leave them there or not. 

Oh. My lord. Tantrum much? Why doesn't he take them out and fold them? Men are so ridiculous sometimes. Thanks for commiserating.

tiffletons518

@ColieAnn31 Thanks. Nothing especially terrible, just dumb broads. And, I'm probably stuck being fake nice forever which makes me want to go drink all the wine. Lol.

Wednesday confession: Every time I see a DH rant on here I think about how I'm the immature crazy moody one in my relationship. DH could probably relate more to what you ladies go through with your partners. DH has his faults, but in general is a saint for putting up with my craziness. And because I'm so crazy I never even tell him that and instead get in a mood because he doesn't wash his cereal bowl. I feel like such a crappy parter.

So maybe I am being selfish but I'm sick and we had planned to drive 6 hrs to jersey for my h's aunts surprise bday party. We would be down there Thursday thru Sunday. I told him this morning that I feel worse than yesterday so I'm not going. Silly me thought maybe he would care that I was sick and maybe he would offer to stay home too so he could yknow... Help take care of our daughter while I feel like crap. Instead he says that since I am not going he will probably leave Friday instead (because we were going to leave late Thursday so baby could sleep in the car and he doesn't like driving when it's dark)... I didn't respond and when he repeated himself I said "I really don't care." He then immediately jumped on me saying "what? Why don't you care?" in an aggressive tone. I said I feel like I have no support and I burst out crying. He then flew off the handle about how he is always stuck in the middle, (between me and mil-she is throwing the party). i said im pretty sure his mom would understand if he didnt go because he was taking care of his sick wife and his own frigging child... He said no she wont understand, and stormed upstairs screaming a bunch of stuff...then left saying how he had to go pick up his meds and our marriage license because I (sarcastically) give him so much support...? I was confused by that last part. We haven't spoken since.

I feel like I should put this in the  mommy weight thread, but yumm...

Wow. There is no way I would touch a single piece of that clothing, it would be dead to me until he cleaned it up.

Checking out at Target with a basket full of baby crap as well as some peanut butter and jelly. The cashier says to me, "Oh I remember when my little one was that age and all he wanted to eat was peanut butter and jelly."

What? Wow. Just wow. Bless her heart. She either thinks my kid is a toddler or she fed her infant pb&j. Either way, I figured explaining that it wasn't for him was pointless.
