Aww hang in there @trutru127‌, hope your day goes quick. It seems so early for school to be starting I think we have another month here.

We are very close with three sister, one has daughter 3 months older than DD. They all came over on Saturday which was really nice, except they love making comments about how they can't believe how many electronic toys we have, like all the electronic toys are evil (I think we have a nice balance, not all our toys are electronic which I like). After they each had made at least one comment, the little girl was playing with DD's v-tech walker and one of the sisters say "Does that thing ever shut up!?". I was *this* close to saying "Yup, the door's right there, you can head outside and not need to hear it". I'm proud of myself for holding my tongue. I love these girls but they can be so judgy.

The title of this totally brought me back to my BBD days. I am not to be trusted according to these fellas.

I'm having an "I hate my job" kind of day today.  It may last the whole week the way things are going.

DH has had a man-cold all weekend so I have been the "on duty" parent with no break for over a week now. And now today is his birthday so I can't exactly be like, "hey that sucked so now I want to go get a pedicure." I also missed my long run because I didn't get any type of break and so now I feel all out of shape and behind on my marathon training. And it's raining.

Sad panda this Monday.

I am fuming because no one told me the plumber was coming this morning. I know that I'm majorly overreacting, but I am having a hard time talking myself down before I bring it up with MIL&FIL.

I'm over today. I can't seem to wake up and I got my period early. I just want to curl up on the couch, watch tv, and eat my cookies. But I'd have to share my cookies with Grayson and I don't want to share

It seems as Lo is having a reaction to ibuprofen or Tylenol or the red dye in the Tylenol. Twice now he has gotten blotchy patches on him tummy and legs after a bad streak of teething when we are giving him Tylenol or Ibuprofen on a rotation. At first we thought it was a coincidence but after this time it's obviously something he is taking given the timing. Next time I'd like to figure out what it is by just giving one, but if he is just getting blotchy (and is happy as a clam and reacts well to it breaking his fever) is it a really big problem to use it again if I need it for a fever? He doesn't even seem to be bothered by the blotchiness.

Yesterday at a birthday party the (paid) song leader lady handed out scarves and put on "Let it Go" to dance around to. Um, if I knew you could get paid for this I would be rich by now.

Also another birthday party music thought is that whoever sings that song "I like to Move it Move it" or whatever the hell it's called should be locked in a room full of toddlers singing that song on repeat for an hour at least once so they know just what they did in producing it.

And a vent/ b!tch: This really pissed me off yesterday. B's stroller has a 5 point harness. There is no option to make it only a lap buckle/3 point harness so we buckle him in with the 5 point harness. B doesn't mind -his car seat is also 5 point. We met a friend who made a comment on how we really buckle B in. His kid is 4 months younger than B and they don't strap her in at all. I really had to hold myself back from going off on him on how he should worry less about the "extra" safety of my child and worry more about how his child is not safe at all.

It is crazy that they don't buckle their kid in! Mine would jump out of a moving vehicle if we allowed her.

needanustart

@smpeachey and @nursemommy13 that's kind of what I figured. My game plan was to just give him one next time instead of both and see which one was causing the problem, but now the mere mention of anaphylactic shock has me too freaked out to try it.

What in the heck are alternatives to Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain management and fever reduction? Guess I can call the ped for a script or something?

I don't need a new one either but I'd jump on that deal.

I offered a gluten free co-worker some of my croissant because I forgot.  I feel like an ass.

Soooo DH is OOT this week and daycare is closed. MIL and FIL were supposed to come down to help out. MIL had to cancel due to illness, now it's just me and FIL all week long. AWKWARD. FIL is really awesome, don't get me wrong, I've just never really spent much time with him (any really) without DH or at least MIL as a buffer.

It's going to be a long week. I'm going to have to hide my Dirty Little Liar's habit ;-)

@megsw85‌, it must be in the water me and DH have been at eachother's throats the last 2 weeks. He has a very short fuse these days I wish he was going away for he week LUCKY!

needanustart

I feel like I have been arguing with DH for a year We've had a lot going on in addition to the two crazy kids and almost zero family support as the only family here has had healthy issues. I still love him but I really want to start liking him again. We have talked about it and know we're just in the weeds, it just blows.

The '2 new "plural"' thing is really bugging me. I thought it was going to be a short term glitch.

@trutru127 I'm late to the party and I know the day is almost over but I hope it wasn't too painful!  The smiles at the end of the day are the best though

@dmlk413 I hear ya.  Make room on the bench

ASmallWonder

I'll poof this soon because one kid isn't mine. Check out Aiden and his best friend. Aiden turned four in May and this kid turned four last week @-)  Holy long legs!

ASmallWonder

@NaChelleBeck Aiden is a diminutive 38" He weighs 30 pounds and still fits in 18-24m bathing suits.  This year he's rocking 2T and 3T shorts but this other kid?  Size 6.

ASmallWonder

Well I'm in the short camp but not the skinny one lol  He seems to have my brother's metabolism and my height.  It's just so funny to see him with this friend, running along without a care in the world.  Aiden hauls ass when he runs (he's unusually fast) and yesterday he was like "When I run, no one can catch me."  His friend just stared at him and goes "I can."  I lol'd because kid?  You've got like a 4ft stride.

@heelibrarian we've had to limit some good stuff in our house for that reason!  No cornbread or rolls or garlic bread with our dinner now because if either of them isn't getting it, they pitch a fit but both of them will chow the carb and leave everything else.

Well, this is a fun development! LO won't eat anything that I'm not eating- she can now figure out what 'kid food' is, I.e. what her brother eats or pouches, and will smack it away. She used to eat anything, but now she thinks we've got the good stuff. Goodbye, Cheetos. Sniff.

@heelibrarian it is both a blessing and a curse that DD has zero interest in what I'm eating. I can eat a bowl of ice cream while I feed her grapes and she couldn't care less. On the other hand the fact that DH and I are eating veggies with dinner doesn't make them any more desirable to her.

Ha, I was just thinking this with cereal this morning. Lo had a taste of my Kashi Heart to Heart last week and now he recognizes the box and points. I tried putting the (ahem, cheaper) Cheerios on his tray and he took the whole handful, maintained eye contact and threw the entire fist on the floor. As if to say, "was I unclear about the more expensive and delicious cereal?"

I'm working on production for a Target flyer. Made me think about you ladies.

needanustart

DH just texted me that since he has to work late and it's his birthday and he has a cold he would love it if I picked up the kids from daycare and drove into Boston to get him (he takes the commuter rail) and then we can have dinner on the way home (like KFC? Sonic? because those are our options). We live 30 miles north of Boston. And it will be rush hour. I feel like I have to say yes but I also want to stab my eyes out with butter knives sooner than drive 60 miles roundtrip in rush hour with a toddler and a baby around dinnertime.

My jaw is locking up with stress again (happening for two weeks now) just thinking about it. At least it's good to keep me from overeating? 

ASmallWonder

@calikat80 efffff that!  That commute blows and yeah, taking the commuter rails sucks and all but he's not thinking straight.

ASmallWonder

This is going to sound stupid and bordering on weird, probably.  I have a brother and we're really close (and you guys know how NOT close we both are to our parents so my relationship with him is super important).  At the start of the summer I had asked him if he'd want to take a vaca day one day and he and I could head to the beach.  Just me and him, to relax because going to the beach with the kiddos is anything but relaxing lol  He was like yeah definitely.  This is where it's going to seem like I have weird issues lol

Then he got a girlfriend.  And I"m happy for him.  I am because he's struggled in the relationship department for a long time and from what I hear, this girl seems to be a good match for him.  But when I asked him when we were hitting the beach he said, oh not til later in July because I took some days off to help her move.  Ok.  This month comes and I ask again.  Oh sorry not this month because I took some days off to go camping with her and we're going to Chicago.  Alrighty.  Today I jokingly reminded him that we've got about 4 New England weeks of summer left and when are we going to the beach and he tells me that he's used too many of his vacation days already and needs to "save them" so he's not going to be able to go.

I'm hurt and annoyed.  

needanustart

@elmoali I know. I told him I'd assess at 5:15 when I got the kids. My assessment is going to be "um, no." Am I a horrible wife though? It is his birthday. I offered him taking the train to Wonderland so we could meet halfway but did you just see there was a tornado in Revere?!

ASmallWonder

@calikat80 OMG I did!  But seriously, doing that commute after working AND dealing with the kids is like working another 4 hours.  I'd struggle with it.

I'd be hurt and annoyed too, even if it was my sister. But I'd probably just let it go knowing it's a new relationship and people make decisions like that in the beginning. I would wear it like a badge of honor that he can take your love and loyalty for granted while he is still working on his girlfriend's probably.

Just don't go all Angelina Jolie at the Oscars on us with him.

ASmallWonder

@calikat80 oh totally!  That's why I let my emotions out on here because I'm not going to whine to him about it.  The relationship is new and I get that.  It just sucks because I love spending time with him and felt like we had agreed to something but needed to nail down the date and he acted like it wasn't a plan.  I guess we were viewing it differently.  I won't try to make him feel badly about it but I (and DH) have done a lot for him in recent years so it would be nice if he didn't just sort of blow it all off and become consumed by this relationship.  That's like a high school thing to do and he's a grown ass man lol

Can you pay for an uber for a birthday present?

Hmmm, that would be something I would like. But I am 99% sure he wants us to come in so he can have a drive back with me and the boys. You know, a pleasant scenic drive down route 1 in a thunderstorm at rush hour. He's super sensitive about getting time with the boys so I know what he is getting at with me bringing them in.

I also bought nice steak tips and fancy salad stuff so I don't want to be eating drive through in the car!
