There are entirely too many diaper related posts on here today.  What's off topic and on your mind?

DS stayed with my friends over the weekend and learned "what's that," "lego" and "doctor."  And he started saying "thank you" the last time he stayed with them.  I'm beginning to think he learns more without me than with me!

I read this as "Get on" at first and I was about to tell you two to get a private Group.

Oh I'm sure everyone will wish this was in a private group by the time the thread's finished, lol.

I threw a big ol' mama hissy fit this morning. I'm not proud. I just really need a break, I'm in freak-out nesting/Spring cleaning mode, we're having family over Saturday, DS is cutting teeth again, and DH is about to leave for a 2 week work trip. Thankfully, mom my is coming to help for part of the time DH is gone, and she and I get along great. I might even schedule a hair appt for myself while she is here, scary highlight chemicals be danged. But until then, I plan to feed my anxiety with Extreme Moosetracks and order pizza for supper.

Trying to decide what to make for dinner. Also debating if I should clean and get some sewing done or play video games. 

Video games is the obvious choice here.

That's what I was thinking too.

Is it weird that video games make me motion sick a lot of the time now?

Stumbled across this.  It's now on my mind.   (Warning not safe for work!)

LLOLing at how long some of the socks are.

Me too.  I'm also wondering why some chose the socks they did.  So funny.

How I'm planning on NOT cooking dinner tonight and just make DD whatever and I will eat leftovers I've had for 2 days and DH can fend for himself. Yeah, did ya hear that DH??

Also the talk I'm having with DH tonight...could turn out really good, or really bad. There is no middle ground.

Good luck.  Hope it turns out really good.

@CLLDLL - MY EYES!!!! Ack! Also, I was amused at the first picture with a row of guys and one has a very small sock. Bahahah! And the one of the guy with a tattoo that said "Game Changer" like he could hit a golf ball with it or something. Wouldn't it be hilarious if he had a tat on the back that said "Game of Thrones?" No?

We attempted a walk at the mall today, but didn't last long. I got some push ups and sit ups done. woo...

I hate working and I'm counting down the minutes till I can get out of here.  I'm super thrilled that tomorrow is E's last day of DC, and while I'm pretty nervous about one single person being completely responsible for the most important thing in my life for 50+ hours a week, I can't wait to get her out of that hell hole.

ElleBeeDub

@TJ1979 I was actually thinking about you and E yesterday. I'm so happy for you that you'll be done with DC. I know a lot of people have places they love, but when you hate your provider, it's the most horrible feeling.

Amores0121

@CLLDLL Thanks.  Me too.

 

Also, this is quickly becoming my favorite board.

I made turkey chili in the crock pot and microwave cornbread. This was supposed to be dinner for my husband and I with leftovers for tomorrow. I already ate half of it.

YellowLily2013

Microwave cornbread? @Chichigo‌ never heard of this.

Chichigo

It was in a package by Aunt Jemima. It wasn't that good (maybe because I used a milk alternative) but it was ready in 6 minutes.

I'm seriously annoyed with DH for implying that since I stay at home now, he shouldn't be responsible for anything around the house or kid related (and also that I can nap whenever I want and i don't have to be as on the ball all day as he does in his office). I'm trying to decide if i'm blowing our conversation out of proportion or if he's actually being a jerk...

TJ1979

@ellebeedub I vote JERK!  Kick him in the shins!

I agree! But honestly, I don't think they'll ever "get" it. I bust my tail all day most days, keeping DS happy and cleaning/cooking/sewing/gardening/doing laundry at the same time. When DH watches DS, he sits in front of the TV and plays on his laptop while DS plays or fusses. And yet he still has never taken care of DS by himself for a whole day ever. He's been making noises lately about how much harder it will be when DS2 gets here. Frankly, he has absolutely no idea. His Grepolis days are numbered!!!

I sat at Starbucks today and worked. . I also want to buy a special diaper for M for his birthday, but I get anxiety trying to decide on stuff like that. We're also eating Chinese delivery food today. I love it while I eat it, but I get sick EVERY TIME. I don't know why I do it. Oh, and I paid $4.61 for my cup of coffee. Most expensive ever (for brewed coffee)

unaveragejane

Also off-topic, I just ordered pizza and a bottle of sanity (Mt. Dew) so that I can make it through the rest of the day without losing my cool. DS is watching a cartoon, and I already texted DH to tell him I'm disappearing into the bathtub right after supper. I just got an email for a free appetizer to a new restaurant near us. There might be a redeeming factor to this day afterall.

I was really excited to take half of the day off on my birthday and go to a wildlife park near our house with my sister and L. Well, she doesn't take care of her car and couldn't get it started so she had to cancel. L and I didn't go to the wildlife park (we will when it warms up more), but we did go to our city's downtown area so that I could have BBQ, cookies, and a latte for lunch. Add on a small get together at a Thai food restaurant later and it'll be a good birthday.

I *finally* made it to the gym ten weeks after my doctor gave the OK. The best part wasn't the workout- it was the steam room! I missed that luxury so much. I ran onto the doctor that delivered M while I was there. He expects to see me soon for another one.

Baby and daddy had a miserable time. M doesn't like daddy very much.

Why don't we?  One thread for diaper questions each day.  But we all have to promise to go into it once in awhile and give answers  I feel like we very often get the same questions repeated more than once in a day.  If everyone had to go into the same thread, it might save on the redundancy.

DH and I totally go round and round on this very topic.

@Mapleme, miso salad dressing?  That sounds awesome.  Do you sell it online or does it have to be fresh?

Pet peeve: do not refer to your squishy, sweet, little newborn as "little man".  I HATE that phrase for a tiny baby, or kid.

It's windy out.  Very windy. 186 km/hour gusts clocked at a nearby town.

And we're getting more snow.  Like we need more snow.

I called one of my cats little man. I tried to call J that, but it didn't work.

yeah, babies are not little men.

No. Men are big babies, though

115 mph @mandmeesh

It's not quite that strong here... we're getting 100 mph.
But I have to drive through the mountain range that has 115 mph on my way to work tomorrow.  Hopefully it dies down before then.

I went through kohls today on our trip to the mall and quickly went through the baby section. Made a note to go back with my coupon and find an Easter dress for Jo. Ended up ordering a bunch of stuff on-line. I got a pair of jeans for me so I will stop living in maternity yoga pants (even my maternity jeans currently don't fit) to help motivate me to lose weight. I'm sad at what I measured myself at. And then I got a ridiculous amount of future baby clothes for Jo and a few for my future nephew. I spent $86, saved $270. Seriously $2 black leggings never go out of style, and are easy to match. That is about garage sale prices around here for pants. So I think I did ok.

For me or her? That's why I bought a pair of jeans today. Cause I only had leggings that fit...

Seriously.  Any takers on this suggestion?  Or maybe a newbs post each day?  I feel like we need to consolidate.  Or is that not cool since we're supposed to be the CD gurus around here?
