The past two nights Jameson has STTN (830-730). Now to just train myself to go to sleep before 130 and I might feel a little better waking up in the morning

Since I have to travel again for work later this week, H convinced me to play hookie today with him and A. Caught up on some RHOC and now A is awake so we are cuddling and watching a little Doc McStuffins in bed....LOVE!

Alex is off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so today is his Friday. We were on our way to his work this morning and he said he was so glad it was Friday. I literally thought it was Friday and started to look at the bank account to see what his check was since Friday is payday. Apparently I am more tired than I thought I was haha good thing it wasn't really Friday because I have to work and I wasn't ready for work. I think I'll be taking a nap with Grayson today lol

Yep...this is how I'm feeling too. And to make it even better Grayson has been super clingy and whiny all morning.

For those looking an update on JPL (I will DD or modify this later):

She and the family are doing well! Lots of traveling this summer. J is doing great. 

She has fully deactivated her account due to someone contacting and asking questions about her family and she didn't know who they were. If you want to get in touch with her, you can PM me and I'll give you the info.

Just tell her we say hiiiiii!!

We are all sick today, boo. So, the kids are laying around watching cartoons and I'm going to start catching up on the season and a half of Criminal Minds I'm behind on. Which means I get to stare at Shemar Moore for the next few hours

HeartLikeMine3

I just LO to an indoor padded play area with my cousin and her sons. Why haven't we been doing this all summer he had a blast and is now worn out.

HeartLikeMine3

Does anybody else on here suffer with KP (keratosis Pilaris)? My is so bad right now on my upper arms and I haven't found anything that helps.

musicalsilver

@HeartLikeMine3‌ - I do. Like @mcbush‌ said I think a steroid cream is the only thing that can really help. I did some exfoliating with a coconut oil/sugar scrub that I tried to remember to do as often as I could which maybe helped a little? It did make my arms nice and moisturized and smelled awesome.

And I don't get the map either.

Not looking for advice (but I'll take it) but I really need to vent. I am so annoyed at my SH. Tomorrow is my birthday and he hasn't mentioned it at all. My feelings were hurt. When I confronted him about it yesterday he said that he doesn't expect me to plan his birthday and he didn't do anything because I never like anything he does. So I guess I should blame myself that I asked him to return the ipad he bought me last year and the watch he got me for Christmas. Then he asked me what I wanted and I told him I just wanted him to take me out to a nice dinner this weekend and arrange babysitting without me having to do anything. I guess we'll see what happens. I can't believe him. It was like he wasn't going to do anything at all. I am so hurt! I'm also frustrated because he has had so much time away from us because he traveled for work for 5 days last week then right after had a guys weekend then traveled again overnight for a funeral. He slept all day Saturday after traveling and then was going to go to a concert without me on Sunday.  And he didn't make any effort to give me any time to myself or do anything with us so we could have family time. Sometimes I have a problem communicating my needs but some of his behavior is just inconsiderate. He said I act like he never does anything right. Yeah, I wonder why. First he fucked up mother's day and now my birthday. And now I don't even want to spend time with him I'm so annoyed. This sucks...

HeartLikeMine3

@mcbush‌ and @musicalsilver‌, I've always had KP but its been terrible ever since I was pregnant. I actually got a steroid prescription from my Derm last summer and it did nothing to help. I think I'll try to start exfoliating regularly see of that helps. Texas is too hot for long sleeves but I've been rocking quarter length shirts the last couple weeks.

lioness13

Congratulations @Mommycoffee‌!!!

Happy early birthday @lioness13 !! H totally dropped the ball on my birthday this year and I still haven't really gotten over it...my advice is to punch him in the throat or you could get a fake pregnancy test and tell him you are pregnant! haha that would freak him out

lioness13

Since my birthday is this week I decided to take a break off my diet. Probably not a good idea but I need to enjoy eating this week since so many other things are crappy. My other vice is reading and I just got a new book delivered to my kindle: Big Little Liars by Liane Moriarty. I'm looking forward to reading it.

needanustart

@lioness13 maybe you should just plan on buying yourself something you want or getting a babysitter and making plans for yourself. I'm not saying it like your DH isn't being a bozo for not doing something, it's just this way you can have something you want and not be disappointed. I have been on the opposite side of this- DH has wanted me to return things twice for birthdays or Christmas (and twice for father's days) in the last 3 years alone because even though we've been together forever he is so.damn.picky. So I just told him this year he can buy himself whatever he wants for the month of July and December and I won't give him any budget grief about it. I was born on my Dad's birthday and now DS2 was born 3 days before my birthday so I've never really cared about people remembering gifts, but the personal time part would definitely bug me. We have an agreement that for father's/mother's day, and birthdays the celebrating party doesn't have to cook & clean and gets several hours of personal time that they can either choose to spend as a family or alone. I always choose alone! Maybe you should talk with him about some kind of standing deal that is fair to both of you? It has definitely alleviated a lot of tension for us!

I am freaking out. I just scored this playhouse for $20 on Craigslist!!! I literally don't care if they ever play with it. I'm going to try to get creative and spray paint it cool

I have it pretty bad, and worse, LO has it awful. I haven't found anything that works to get rid of the bumps, but coconut oil gets rid of the redness on LO.

FFMC and UO.... I don't like fried food. Yep... I said it. I'm not a health nut, as I can eat my weight in desserts, but I hate the way fried food makes me feel. I taste it all.day.long after I eat it and I hate it. Phew... I said it! Carry on

What? I don't understand? But, why? I'm sad now.

ASmallWonder

So many things from the weekend!:

Quinn got bit on the face at daycare on Friday. Apparently there are four biters in his class.  Yay.

Met my brother's new girlfriend on Saturday and OMG she's a female version of him.

Saturday was our anniversary and DH sent me three dozen roses! We went to dinner and I had strawberry rhubarb pie on a chocolate chip cookie "crust" and I could have died and gone to heaven.

I REALLY need my name change to click back over because I have something to chat about (not about me - it's third party) and I don't want to do it with this name.

needanustart

@steamboat123 I've only needed "evening out" time like twice and DH was kind of the same way when I gave him the heads up. My strategy is to just expect him to stress about it and give me a bit of guff, but proceed on with my plans and drink until the guilt goes away. And to stay out until they (kids) are both in bed. I come back happy as a clam and act like nothing is wrong. The whole ignoring of negativity and not playing into a confrontation usually confuses him into thinking nothing is wrong. Also now he knows this kind of night usually equals some fun for him in the sack so I have created a positive reinforcement environment for future nights out.

Not that I try and train my husband like a pet or anything.

I understand what you are saying @workinit about fried food. It stays with me all day and I swear I am still burping it 24 hours later. It makes me feel like I ate lead and leads me to feeling shame and sadness immediately upon consuming stupid amount of it.

That being said you could fry dirt and I would think it was delicious and have no self control to not eat it if you put it in front of me.

needanustart

FFMC: regarding the above post sometimes I think about my interactions with DH with a nature show narrator's voiceover. "The adult male is confused by the female's behavior, but is easily lead to the mating ground where he forgets her previous actions."

I would eat all the fried things for you tiffs! We can go watch football and go deep fried crazy!

Honestly, it would probably be easier if I felt the way you do. It would make getting these last few lbs off much easier. I hate clean eating. I mean, really reeeeeally hate it. I do it because it's necessary, but I am so tired of greek yogurt, fish, grilled chicken, salads. I know it can't be just a "diet" but a "lifestyle" and thinking that this will be my "lifestyle" for the rest of my days.. makes me incredibly sad. lol

Friends "The Last One" is on from 5-6. I want to rush into the kitchen to make dinner and hope this storm moves in a little faster so I can't run and instead I can sit on my butt and watch it. And cry.

lioness13

@wasnotwas - I LOVE that idea!!! He doesn't want more kids so that might kill him!

@34blondie‌ - FFMC I still have my positive pregnancy tests from KJ. I wonder if it still shows as positive… I haven't looked at it in over a year. Now that I am actually admitting to this, it sounds kind of gross. I should probably throw them away.

cynthia2007

@lioness13, sorry about your DH. A little effort and acknowledgement goes a long way and men just don't get do they?! H and I had a conversation years ago about b-days to where we both agreed that we want each other to make effort for b-days. So its dinner out or food cooked/planned by other person and gift (we send each other lists of what we want and we always have to get one thing that is not on the list that requires some thought). It helped years ago to set the tone for the future. Maybe you and DH need to do that so that its clear as day. For tomorrow, I would plan something you want to do i.e. massage, time at starbucks to read whatever and just let him know that he has LO for X period of time and just ENJOY it as your "Happy Birthday to me" Happy early birthday! 

lioness13

@calikat80‌ - normally, I would have planned something for myself. I think I may have been a little too hard on him. I think I am just upset because he has been away a lot and I miss him and I have not had as much attention from him. Also, this time of year is hard for me because I had a loss around this time two years ago.

lioness13

@cynthia2007‌ - great tips! Thanks!

Actually, my DH is normally really good about stuff like this. He has gotten me some really thoughtful gifts in the past. I think that's also why I am so upset. In the past he's done a pretty good job at making me feel special. Maybe I am a little more needy now that I am a mom and I feel like I am not able to do as much for myself as I used to. I guess I need him to fill in the gap some.

Talking about this here has helped me really figure out why I'm feeling this way. I am glad I shared this and appreciate all your input and support!

lioness13

@smpeachey‌ - once I walked out of the doctors office when I waited 45 minutes. My time is important too! The doctor called me to apologize.

I've had it my entire adult life. Maybe even started when I was a teenager. My dermatologist told me years ago that it was just something I'd have to live with.  In December, I started going every month and a half to the Korean spa for their scrub. It's a serious scrub - really rough and very exfoliating. It's barely noticable now. Even between scrubs, it doesn't really seem to come back other than a few small red spots.

I'm doing my best not to drink during the week this week but I swear the world is testing me today. Ty is teething so he like non stop cried from pick up to bedtime, Bradley was being such a shit that I actually made him go to bed early, and H spent the whole time conveniently "busy"

Damn, I don't even have chocolate milk

Um why would you give yourself an impossible and unpleasant mission like no weeknight drinking @WasNotWas‌? I just can't compute.

LO is still fighting sleep. It's like he knows I have things I need to get done tonight.

Aaaany other night, kid! Couldn't you have picked tonight for one of your freakishly early bedtimes?

@CL8badB‌
We used to sing that song at camp. That is just one of many verses, though. My favorite verse was always:

Oh I wish I were a little can of coke
Can of coke

Oh I wish I were a little can of coke
Can of coke

I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp

Oh I wish I were a little can of coke
Can of coke

@GraceInCA‌, thanks that's a good tip and good excuse to regularly goo the spa.

@WasNotWas‌, I vowed no week day drinking for three weeks and then only red wine. I need to loose some weight and its all the beers fault. We can do this! 8-}
