@ProudMommy030614 that sucks that you lost so much milk and food!!!

@somerisles I'm so glad you are almost completely healed, I've been thinking about you!

@Jt7dreamz‌ you should have offered to buy him a drink and hen sprayed him with milk

O:-)  )

 

hugs to everyone returning to work and getting shots  

also hugs to those with clogged ducts, mine usually are still sore after they get unclogged b/c I pinch and massage the clogged spot so much.

My trip to visit my parents is 16 hours total (usually) and gets broken up over 2 days. It is 9 hours to my brothers house in VA and then another 6 hours to my parents in NY. I think I was in a post partum delirium when I thought this would be a good idea. I would fly but I don't think the airline would let me fly alone with 3 kids, 2 of which would be lap traveling.

Also, my H is great...buuuuuut, he has a business trip to FL soon. He needs to be there Sunday-Wednesday and said he might book his flight for Friday so that he can spend Saturday at the beach...WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.FUCK!!! No is is not OK to extend your trip by 2 days to sit on the beach while I will be home alone with all 3 boys, 2 of which do not STTN. I must have given a good WTF look bc he changed his mind pretty quick.

Does all the "voodoo beads" talk have anyone else singing songs from Labyrinth?

"It's about the power of the voodoo
Who do?
You do
Do what?
Remind me of the babe"

@FFwifey‌
My office is in Mississauga but I oversee all of Ontario.
When I was in my previous position I used to travel all around from London to K-W, Hamilton, GTA, Bracebridge, Kingston, Ottawa.
I had someone else that covered northern Ontario and Windsor area for me (she had no kids, but I had 2) since they were longer travels.

I don't generally need to travel anymore with my promotion...yay!

I found this to be interesting.

Loss mentioned**

I take issue with it because correlation isn't causation, moat people don't talk about miscarriage because it's painful not because of abortion. Even the author had a hard time equivocating the two at the beginning

I mourned my never was pregnancy, but my miscarriage...It didn't have a heartbeat it never really grew more than just some tissues and a mass of cells. The doctor took a picture for me when it was removed in surgery and I had zero connection. The loss of what I wanted was not the same as what I lost and I hated when my bosses (Catholic) tried to say it was. It was actually more hurtful. Unfortunately miscarriage is a near absolute when ttc. A lot of women are unaware because it a normal and natural process. I abhore them being equated.

It pains me to think of unwanted loss at any stage of conception, but I can say with absolute certainty that losing my child, my real, fleshy, fat, adorable, happy 4month old...that would be different. Id be broken instead of mournful.

Teething sucks.

Mom took my nephew with her out of town which means my SIL and brother are child free for a week or so. They are posting about going on date nights and enjoying their evening. I'm close to hiding their posts on FB because H and I haven't had a date night in many months! My mom knows this, I've asked her to watch the boys and she's always too busy.

I need to look into hiring a couple people to remedy this situation but someone not family watching my boys just doesn't sit right with me.

That sucks. Like really sucks. Is she actually busy or playing favourites?

saisongbird

@Jt7dreamz - that sucks.  How can it be mandated when it's after hours and a social event?

I'm heading there on Thursday -- mainly for diapers - but I heard many targets are out of stock on a lot of the items. Check their website on the 10th as they're calling it "Black Friday in July" for additional sales! Also, free shipping if you have the red card.

Perfect. I was planning on going on Thursday.

Long story short... MIL always borrows money from us. Like 3 times a month. We're sick of it. The most recent time she "jokingly" mentioned how it shouldn't be a problem for her to borrow money because she takes Robert anytime we ask.

ohhhhh ok. So that's how it's going to be? Good to know you want to dangle that "joke" in front of us so we feel obligated to let you borrow money.

So you're hoping you can babysit again? Don't hold your breath, it'll be a while....

So annoyed

Whoa. That's crappy. And would totally piss me off. The next time you want her to babysit you should pay her $7.25 an hour. Write her a check and out 'babysitting' in the memo.

Haha I totally should. Also, we rarely need babysitters and when we do we have a gazillion people to ask... Most who live in walking distance to where we live. She's a 20 min drive away.

I believe she's only watched him about 4 times... 2 of which were not even necessities. I just dropped him off to let her spend time with him while I ran errands. So it's not like we've burdened her with babysitting.

Andplusalso I wouldn't mind letting her borrow money... If it wasn't because she blows her money on going to bars and expensive restaurants when she clearly can't afford it.

Last time she borrowed she called us a week later to say we could pick up our money. We couldn't get there that evening so we went a couple days later when we were in the area. At that point she could only give us half bc she spent some of it in the meantime. Seriously?

Sorry @Kkraus11‌
I used to live in Kanata many years ago (actually when DD was a baby).

I thought there were 2 or 3 ladies on here from near Ottawa. (I could be confusing M14 with my other BMB though, who knows)

@torilea‌ hope the meds helped you. Headaches suck!!! I had one a couple weeks ago that nearly made me throw up and I was home alone with 3 kids....so I feel your pain. Feel better soon!!!

That's annoying. My MIL doesn't borrow money, but she does hang things over DH's head. Like, Don't do that, or I'll take away your inheritance.

It's the only annoying thing she does though, so whatever.

I've had the headache from hell for almost 6 hours.  Nothing is helping - Tylenol, caffeine, water, warm bath, cold washcloth.  I think it's a sinus headache but Sudafed is the only thing that helps those and since I'm BF I can't take it.  To top it off Ellie has been crying for 3 hours and won't sleep.  I want a break.  

Hope you feel better soon

@torilea feel better soon!

I finally think that I figured out why Colton hasn't been taking his bottles of milk. We recently got a bottle warmer and it warms the milk super fast. I think that it must change the taste or something because I tried warming the bottle under the tap like before and he took it with no issue! Fingers crossed he keeps it up.

NO   @Jennibeanjld , that's why I've had such a bad week. DH and I talked about me staying home and he said we just cant afford it. Plus  theres some changes at work while I was on MAT leave. ALOT of favoritism and duty changes. Very frustrating !

I need to check the news and get an app that alerts me of a tornado warning. I'm so scared of them. All I can think about is hiding in the bathroom and the roof comes off and my kids are ripped from my arms. So horrifying!

Also, I wish people would stop talking about their LO going through a horrible sleep regression bc they went from sleeping 8 hrs to 6 hrs. Seriously, I was up every hour and half last night! No one wants to see it bc it comes off like a brag post. Super annoying!

Sorry, I'm just so exhausted. It has made me really moody.

My apologies @mommyKT310‌ Im sure it was my comment you were probably referring to. I know people are in way worse sleep issues then I am, I was just feelings stressed at that moment. I went through the up every hour with LO all last week and with my twins for a year. What I didn't include in my earlier post was the 2.5 yr olds that still wake multiple times a night to go potty so having to go to them every 2-3 hrs and then baby boy up at 4 am for the day and hubby on nights is exhausting. So I apologize if my comment bothered you but trust me I get what your feeling

BrideNamedMeg

MH took all three kids out - they're going shopping, probably stop back home to drop off groceries and let the baby nurse if she wants, then out for a few hours to an indoor playground.  I should be getting work done during this kid free time. I'm catching up on TB

My left boob is being an asshole. But righty is stepping up to the plate. Also, I want a nap.
