@CL8badB‌, our homegoods store has the magnetic things on the wheels that locks them up if you try to go out the door. STUPID

I also hit up the Dollar Tree to stack up on posterboard, because I hate it when I get notice the night before about needing it for something. Ok, all done. Now I need a drink (or two).

So we have this redneck neighbor across the street who likes to set off fireworks after 9pm and wake up our babies. DH has had several talks with him, but the idiot gets drunk and just does it again. DH also let him know we will call the cops if he doesn't stop. So 2 weeks ago he's setting off fireworks (they are illegal here mind you) at like 10 and wakes both boys up. We call the cops and they are like, "you are the 30th call, just tell us his name and address." So the cops come and it stops. Next morning at 7 am we get a knock on our door from a nice lady saying she was here for the "free yard sale." The shithead had out signs all up and down a highway near our neighborhood with our address saying free stuff starting at 7, and to just knock. Little did he know we're up at 5:30 anyway, and once DH heard this he got every sign down by 7:30. So in the end I got a huge stack of poster board that is blank on one side, so I was kind of pumped. I used one to make a sign for our lawn that said, "thanks for all the free poster board!" In your face douche bag!

Long story, sorry. It's just I actually had a poster board story and that doesn't happen very often...

I thought of you when I posted that. :-)

I mean if Perez Hilton is saying it, then it must be true, right?

I'm still recovering from the fact that she wasn't pregnant with twins last year that would have been so cute!

I need to vent. I think I'm going to have to take a break from news and social media (not the bump!) I didn't realize depression is such a controversial topic!! I'm a little concerned that some of my fellow Christians are questioning the faith strength of the clinically depressed (like myself). I'm afraid my mom is one of those who views depression as a lack of faith. Ugh, I'm just feeling so frustrated!!

What?! This sounds like BS. I'm not sure what exactly someone said but it sounds like another round of Christians needing to go do some more research on being what a Christian is. But yeah, you should unfriend or take a break from anyone that views clinical depression as a lack of faith. Seriously, what do you think Jesus would say?

@ChicagoChic82‌ I know that most vets will take pet credit or something like that. In February our one boxer required a pricy surgery to remove a mast cell tumor and we considered financing the surgery because it was like $2000. Maybe you can look into opening a line of pet credit so that he can get the surgery.

Alex let Grayson take a late nap while I was at work today. I don't let him sleep past 2 because I know he won't want to go to bed. He let him sleep until almost 3:30 today! I told him that Grayson is his at bedtime. They've been in the bedroom for almost an hour now and I heard Grayson screaming a few minutes ago. I feel bad but I am enjoying my time. I have taken a shower and now I am sitting in bed catching up on my shows.

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited, we have a lot of work to do before we move in but I can't wait!!

@Mommycoffee‌ unfortunately I think a lot of Christians believe that if you just have enough faith, you will be well.

I don't think it has sunk in to them that depression is a disease, a chemical imbalance, that you can't just wish away, as much as you can't just wish away type 1 diabetes.

I read some write ups about how we should be careful not to glamorize suicide or make his actions seem noble. I agree with that. But I think people need to be careful that they understand what they are talking about before commenting on it. While suicide is not glamorous or noble, it is also a tragic result of a very real disease, a disease that can't be "believed" away.

We're closing on a house tomorrow, so close to having our own space again. I could burst. 

Congratulations!!!! How exciting for your little family! Are you going to adopt some little fur babies when you move in?

We've been thinking about it I'm not sure I'm ready yet, it would be so strange to have little creatures in the house who weren't our buns, we had our 2 ladies for almost 10 years! Ofcourse if I walk by another bunny adoption event who knows what will happen

That is ridiculous! I'm a devout Catholic and I pray constantly and I get sad often. I dealt with severe anxiety and panic attacks for a good year right before I got pregnant with ds1. As a catholic I believe that when you are struggling you should turn to God. I don't think that when you are struggling there is some sort of disconnect between you and your faith.

I farted in the car today and Aiden was all "Um, what's that smell?"  I told him it was Quinn.

H is downstairs pulling up the last few tackstrips from the carpet so I can do more cleanup tomorrow. I am upstairs eating cheesecake, drinking wine, and watching Scandal. Not sorry.

Faith helps, but it certainly hasn't changed my brain chemistry.

Totally agree. I think that if you are religious faith and meds are a good mix to help you get through the hard times.

I'm such a little shit! So.... The flood that ruined my basement also killed my treadmill which I use daily. I've been bitching about it quite a bit. My h told me he was just running to the store and he would be right back. Well... He showed up with a brand new treadmill!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooo jealous! I totally understand the unsolicited BJ now

You guise I just had to have a serious convo with DH about finances and all I could think about was how delicious my wine was. We budgeted in housekeeping and several huge home improvements and all I could keep thinking was "this Indaba merlot is heavenly."
I am the one with the MBA. I may have lost all credibility with how many times I brought up the wine while changing Excel formulas.

Ugh. Benjamin seriously just pushed out a bunch of poop and immediately fell asleep. I can't let him marinade in his own poo. But I don't want to wake him up. Mom crisis.

Victory!! Changed a poopy diaper and mostly kept him asleep.

Holy too much wine Wednesday for me. Ouch.

We put those gummy crib rail protectors on LO's crib because he had been biting the wood. This has backfired apparently its the best thing ever I saw him standing and chewing a good 30 min before falling asleep. Then he woke up an hour early to get some more.

off to the doctor to see if I have pink eye and or strep! yaaay

 

bumpuser7846882

Today's internal mom debate: do I wake him up after I get dressed and try to force him back onto Eastern time from pacific? Or just let him sleep? I'm definitely taking him to daycare regardless...

@CL8badB‌, yep they are a clear rubber that snap on. I may have to get the canvas ones, I'm hoping he will give them less attention after a couple days.

musicalsilver

@subliminalrabbit‌ - now that you're in a house with more space maybe you could try out a mini table and chairs for E?

We had a large learning curve with getting LO to not go wandering with his food, but consistent reinforcement seems to be working regarding that.

Well we've declared a state of emergency. They are giving us an extra garbage pickup Saturday. But, the garbage pickers don't seem to care that the stuff is contaminated with poop water. The city is out today getting the stuff off the street. By the way, that's our second pile of stuff on the curb. The first we managed to get out before trash pick up on Tuesday. It was bigger.

tiffletons518

@steamboat123 For sure. I was chatting with the neighbors yesterday and we were all saying that we're swearing off garage sales for a bit. Which stinks, but the amount of trucks we saw picking through stuff was really quite disturbing. Some people got smart and either spray painted the furniture, or took a knife to the couches. Not worth it then.

tiffletons518

@workinit I would hope so! How's the cleanup going your way?

@workinit don't worry, I'll rally

so no pink eye, no strep. She just gave me prescription eye drops to help with the redness and discharge, and told me to take Sudafed PE. Hoping I feel better quick.

@workinit don't count me out for tonight, and I would pick bubbly to pair with the real housewives I wish I could be there to share!! (if we do a Christmas exchange, can someone get me the bubbly re-corker gadget?)

A few years ago we discovered that one of my husband's best childhood friends married a very famous transsexual porn star. His parents are friends with my husband's parents as they live in the same neighborhood still. Apparently his parents never even knew his wife was really a man who had a sex change until recently. We have kept our distance from him because he then got into the porn industry and does gay porn. Apparently he's very famous too. It's crazy because they live their life as husband and wife and they really act "normal". Nobody would know that they were porn stars unless they were told. His wife looks amazing for being a former man. She also has a part time day job at a makeup counter as they hide their porn careers from other people. They have an enormous house here where we live as well as houses in Toronto and Los Angeles. Apparently the porn industry pays well.

At any rate, this morning I ran into them at the grocery store. They invited my husband and I out to dinner. I feel bad but they really aren't the type of people we want to be associating with. If you want to star in porn, that's your business but we really don't want porn star friends. My husband said he also texted him right after he ran into me and was all excited about getting together.

I don't know what to do. Do we suck it up and go out with them and just never talk to them again or do we just make excuses. I doubly feel bad because his parents and most of his friends disowned him once they found out about his wife and his career in porn.

Sorry for the long crazy story but I don't know what to do about it.

WasNotWas

@ilovemarfa I understand not wanting to associate with someone who does porn, but maybe you just do one dinner and then if you run into them again you don't have that obligation?

Ultimately I think it's for YH to handle, if he is ok with a dinner then I would go along to support, but if he's not ok with it then he's got to break the news to his friend.

I don't think I could have dinner with porn stars. I'm sure they are nice people, but I'd be very uncomfortable the entire time. I'm kind of disappointed in myself for admitting that, but it's the truth.

I feel the same way. Also, couldn't do it with known swingers. I'm pretty open-minded too...

ilovemarfa

My husband isn't excited about reconnecting. His friend texted him and was excited to make plans. My husband is very non confrontational and told me to deal with it because he doesn't have time??? Wtf. Me being as nosy as I am, I've done some research on both of them and their careers. They obviously have stage names and they even have twitter accounts with their stage names and they have like tens of thousands of followers! I'm assuming they must get recognized in public. He seems much more famous now than she.

riansmommie

Ugh! It's already been one of those days where I wanna scream, pull my hair out and then cry. My hubby has only been gone a week and a half and I am ready for a break from my kids!!!!! 7 year age difference and they know how to push each other's buttons. My DD is constantly telling him no but yet teases the hell out of him to keep bugging her and DS just screams bloody murder when she makes him mad. Someone come save me please.
