We've been up since 4:45, yayyyyyyy!

How is everyone else this morning?

Codypup

@shellbell3845, to carry over from yesterday...Mr. Pup's tomato plants bit the dust. He totally destroyed his poor garden.

Just got up here... FX he goes back to sleep

Yeah I was praying for that too, but little miss seems wide awake. 

It's going to be a looooong day.

Codypup

@elf828, No, he took it all down on purpose. He didn't want to try and relocate them all to Nashville.

Our backyard looks so sad now. 

He is, however, donating all his potted trees to our next door neighbor.

Codypup

You guys, I seriously have a problem with my paranoia about W being sick. She's been up since 4:45, suuuuper fussy, and refusing to nap - normal baby behavior some days, right? Especially when I can see the tip of another tooth coming through?

Well I just convinced myself she was warm, and took her temperature in a panic. 97.6. I'm losing my mind. Last month's sickness spree (and 2 ER visits) has honestly traumatized me.

We have power again.  Woot!

I can not think of a halloween costume for T. #fwp

You can baby-fy pretty much anything. DD is going as a dragon, so I'm making Logan a knight. Just bought the fabric a couple days ago, so now I need to get my rear in gear and actually make the damn thing.

@bluedot818 carter's has some cute costumes if you don't mind un-creative ones.  They are out of the dinosaur though in 6-9 months.  I tried to order it and got an email a few days later saying they were out.  

Codypup

I literally just took W on a four minute walk in the stroller. FOUR minutes before I was sweating my ass off and ready for the A/C.

Mr. Pup told me the temp was 50 last night in Nashville! Reason #231789 I am excited about moving. We're actually going to get a fall season and a winter!

shellbell3845

I lost it last night. Again. DH and I will be having a talk after my parents leave. Item #1: I need to go to bed earlier.

Anywho, making the best of today. Going shopping and trying to relax.

there's a garage sale a few houses down, and I really want to go because they always have awesome stuff. but I'm debating it for this very reason!

I think our party went well last night. A bunch of people cancelled at the last minute. But I just keep thinking of all the things I meant to do, but didn't. For example, someone threw away my magazine with the recipes in it, so we just had to BBQ the meat. And the house was still messy and dusty. Floors and bathroom were only 90% done.

narcissticbeaut

@missdemeanor as long as you had fun! right? and 90% is pretty damn good!

its sunday fun day football! so excited i love sundays in the fall

@BlueDot818 FFSC: I'm a little excited your MIL is coming over. The stories are always so fantastic.

We're about to make a very late breakfast featuring oven bacon, eggs, and imitation blueberry pancakes. Hopefully the pancakes are good, that was the only dairy free mix the store had.

MissDemeanor

I love that in one post @BlueDot818‌ is wondering what to dress T up as for Halloween.... And in the next, she posts a pic dressed up as a tiger He looks ADORABLE in that!

A Once Upon a Child store opened up here this week, and had tons of great costumes. I think I'm going to just pick up something from there. Or maybe something like his Superman Jammie's. They're cute and he can wear them again.

elf828 said:

Also @Codypup‌ you are doing great - your mom instincts are incredible and if that means checking a temperature when you may not need to, so what? It's not like you're taking her for bloodwork or an MRI. You are doing a phenomenal job and I think you are going to surprise yourself with how quickly you and W find a rhythm that works for the next few weeks.

Thanks @elf828. We're making it. My mom is on her way right now, so I'll have help this week, but after that it's me only. 

W just woke up from a nap so I took her from the swing to cuddle with me on the couch. She fell back asleep! I can't remember the last time I had a sleeping baby on me. It was really nice.

BlueDot818 said:

.... and she needs to start the convo about how my mom hasn't been here to see T yet. Thank you for bringing that up MIL, I just told you 2 weeks ago that she hadn't been here. [-(

Well that is crap and not the sort of hijinx I was looking forward to from nanamamawgranma. I'm sorry. Also, I can picture a pro QB having your last name.

Verdict: DD LOVES peaches. She got mad when I stopped feeding her. lol.

I wish DD liked food. She's not a big fan yet but it's only been like two weeks. It still feels hopeless though. I can't remember how long it took DS to warm up to solids.

LO is waking up at midnight like every night. I was trying Ferber, but his cries kept escalating and I started to second guess everything -- why don't I know why he's crying, is he hurting/cold/hungry, should I be doing this.... I tried to nurse, he wasn't hungry. My mom came in and sent me back to bed where I CIO'd for 2 hours, when I really needed to be sleeping. I snapped at DH because he asked me to get up, but then he got up and stood in the hall. I snapped that if he wasn't going to be dealing with crying baby then go to bed. It was just another train wreck night. I'm feeling like a failure at all things parenting and all things ShellBell, I'm exhausted, and I feel like crying.

MIL was telling me her 2m old iPhone is broken. It never rings. I ask, is the ringer on? She thinks so. I ask her to see it, she lost it in the house somewhere. I call it out of habit, when looking for a lost phone. It rings loud and clear.

Is it possible no one ever calls nanamamawgranma?

) a very good possibility.

I was thinking the same thing.

shellbell3845

Thanks @elf828‌. It means a lot to me me that you took time to say those things.

It seems like he was stuffy and hoarse. He's not now though. I can't see any signs of teeth coming in, but I know it could be happening.

narcissticbeaut

aww @shellbelle3845 I'm sorry you're feeling down. i hope your day gets better

@bluedot818 these updates are cracking me up. thanks for the pick me up today

so i went and bought 3 candles for $24--super proud of myself. and then i got to thinking how expensive candles are and how much money I've spent on them..and I've decided I'm making candles for christmas!! pinterest here i come

Guise... MIL hopes we have a girl (apparently I'm having a baby? Nope nope not pregnant) because a daughter is a daughter for life, a son is only a son until he takes a wife.

T might be a mamas boy right now, but he won't be forever.

FU woman. You say this every time I see you and it makes me want to TP you

I hate hate hate this thing that wives take sons away from their mothers. If mils would act right, this would be a non-issue. But some mils just are so ridiculous that it alienates the son, the dil... I don't plan to ever treat my dil the way my mil treats me. Maybe that's the key to "keeping" your son.

I wish nanamamawgranma would shove it.

shellbell3845

OMG @BlueDot818‌ can you teach T to say nanamamawbitchpants????

breadpudding

@codypup YGPM. Phew! It wasn't easy.

@bluedot818 I'm dying over here at the name nanamamawgranma. I need to find a way to slip it into at least one conversation today. )

@golfergirl08 I'm eating more of your ice cream while DH is at the grocery store and both kids are asleep. It's the last pint and I'm trying to savor it and save it. Mama doesn't share the good stuff.

IG friends. Picture posted.

I couldn't even get there fast enough.

BlueDot818 said:

I love choking hazard gifts, thank you nanamamawgranma. [-X

That concludes our visit.

So when the tag says 3+.... That's cool? T must be so advanced for his age.

golfergirl08 said:

@bluedot818 and @shellbell3845 I am not sure what your MILs think is going to come out of treating you like crap... like, do they think it's a good tone to set for the LOs? I just don't get it! 

My mil doesn't think she does anything wrong. FTR, she's not exactly moty to DH either. But she blames him.

magentawarped

@Sakura0019‌ Sorry, just saw you paged me! DD is fine, thanks for asking. She has a scratch on her throat, and she's said a couple times that the boy yesterday was not nice, but she's been acting like her normal crazy self.

Same. she doesn't think she ever does anything wrong. And everything wrong in her life is bc of FIL or her DILs.

Yep. She doesn't call DH on his bday...but it's not her fault he gets upset. She talks about us behind our backs and lies about it. DH tells her he's upset because she never talks about LO on the phone -- it's his fault because he doesn't tell her things.

magentawarped

Bananaramagramma sounds like a charmer.

narcissticbeaut

totally effed up sleep training by taking a nap in the bed with LO. ugh but it was so glorious to take a nap in the cal king with just me and LO. i needed that!

Sigh. DH was in a survivor football league and his pick lost. He claims his pick was locked in too soon and he's all pissed off and he's being a sore loser. There will be no peace in the Elf house tonight.

Dear Mr. Elf,

It's football. But your big boy panties on and deal with it. Meanwhile, your wife will be soaking in her bath tub with all the candles. 

Love,

ShellBell
