Sunday brunch featuring SPAM

jennipalmer

330 on west coast and no spam....what?! <:-P so, everyone is out partying or sleeping except me apparently lol

My baby has allergies like his mommy so a clear running nose giving him the cough from drainage. Ironically, the babysitter sent me Facebook message asking how he was doing then informed me she got what he has.

@econmama‌ Sounds like a great morning. How's the elbow scratching?

dliz87

@robynloureed‌ Brunch sounds awesome! Did you sleep alright last night post-broken screen and Xanax?

DD is awake and it is 430. Why kid??? You are normally a good sleeper. Is it because your hand hurts since an ogre stepped on it?

G spent the night having night terrors. Would scream for 20 mins after each one. Seemed to have one every hour or so. I-) He is now happily cruising around the hotel room with a breadstick. Thankfully the breakfast area opens in 15.

G found a corner to poop in.
Awkward :-S

After 4 wake ups, DD is sleeping, but DS is up watching Jake in my bed. I have to get my butt in gear. We are leaving in 2 1/2 hours to meet friends for lunch and then go apple picking. I still have to pack the diaper bag, feed the kids breakfast, shower, and get everyone dressed.

V loves to go off by himself to have a poo. Then he crawls really fast to me and says "Hi! Poo." And points to his diaper. It's funny!

It was Mr. Kiki's turn to get up with P. Guess who's at the table feeding P breakfast and who's still sleeping.



If you guessed Kiki and Mr. Kiki, respectively, you're correct.

V was up a lot last night. I kept trying to get him to back to sleep in his crib but he wouldn't. Slept in our bed at 12:30 ish and was up screaming at 2:45.
Why can't this kid sleep. I don't complain about it a lot but holy crap. 14 months of this is so hard.

Morning!
There is an Inn just down the road from us. I am thinking of convincing my mom that we need to head there for brunch. Mmm brunch.

Good morning! I'm sad to miss the NOVA ladies meetup with a special guest.

But we spent a ton of money at Pottery Barn and I do not like my furniture! Luckily I called and they are returning our couch with a 100% refund (couches are usually special order so they don't return them). They will also take back the table and rug that are too small.

I'm glad we are getting our money back. But I'm frustrated being back at step 1 with furniture. The house is empty!

We put Luke's enteral pump in his Ivy backpack for easier mobility.

He still wants to push the IV pole. He is adamant about it.

So DH hid it. So far he can't find it.

According to my mother, I was a "behind a chair pooper".  Every time P climbs behind a chair, that's what she assumes he's doing.  It's awkward when she shares that story.  X_X

@Stina2012‌ have you tried Bassett or Arhaus? Love the stuff at both of those stores. A lot of our new stuff is Bassett.

C woke up like 4 times last night, cried for about 30 seconds, then went back to sleep on his own. Weird, but still great, I thought.

This morning when he gets up he had the biggest, nastiest poopy diaper ever.
Either his tummy was bothering him, or he was in a gross poopy diaper all night, and that was bothering him.

Let Feli walk to the bathtub by herself last night. Naked. 

Bad idea.

Halfway there, in the kitchen, she squatted and took the most photogenic dump I have ever had the misfortune to see. 

(I was in the bathroom getting things ready and only saw her squat out of the corner of my eye. "Oh, what did she find on the kitchen floor?" Haha no).

I guess I should be happy she is no longer in the milk poop stage. 

And that she no longer wants to eat it.

DH is on his way to Cleveland to watch the Brown's.

I'm stuck in whinny kid jail and just want a break. Josephine is acting more and more like a threenager and Parker is frustrated he can't do all the things she can.

Carrie3102

Hugs to all you ladies having a rough morning.

I am planning an alternate route home because I don't want to deal with a whining toddler when we drive by the street fair complete with bubble machine and bouncy house right before nap. Am I the only one who detours to avoid tantalizing parks and the ensuing tantrums?
I feel kind of dumb for doing it but would rather avoid conflict than fight a battle with a three year old.

DH loves Arhaus. But I think it's more expensive than PB!

We are going to Havertys today. I think we will get our table at Crate and Barrel. They have an entry level, plain table that should work.

DH is bring Tess to a farm that has a petting farm and an enchanted forest.  They looked so cute going out for their outing... Tess even let me put a little clip in her hair!

I am relaxing, bumping, and checking my fantasy lineups.  Then I am meeting some girlfriends for brunch.  Yay!

Hugs to all the ladies who need them, and I hope the DMV ladies and the extra special guest have a great meet up!!

@audrey1787 I was thinking this morning that I even ask if I can go to the bathroom. If we're sitting in the living room I'll say "is it okay if I pee?" I need to just stop asking. I'm not saying it's DH's fault, because it's not like he told me I need to ask. I just feel like G is my responsibility and I'm getting something special if I get a minute alone to pee. I need to just start doing things - it's not like DH asks if he can go to the gym every day.

BF does morning duty every Sunday. It is something I told him I wanted. He didn't suggest it, but he also didn't protest.

....probably because his morning duty is minus getting Feli at wakeup, changing her, getting her dressed, preparing her breakfast.

So he only has to sit at the table and feed her, then keep her occupied for 2-3 hours. But, to be fair, he would get her, change her, dress her. He just doesn't hear her a quick as I do, so I get up before him. And when I do, I might as well do the rest of prep time.

Another one for a terrible night over here. Silas got my cold which wasn't that bad for me, but he's super snotty and congested so he couldn't sleep and just wanted to nurse, except couldn't nurse because he was too congested. So he would latch, realize he couldn't breathe, cry, rinse and repeat.

Since he barely nursed all night I now have what I think is a clogged duct (my whole boob hurts/feels bruised). Sigh. Hugs and coffee to everyone else with rough nights and sick babies. ~O)

Also had a bad night's sleep here. LO was up early on from dog bark (which she normally sleeps through). I was just falling asleep that time so it took awhile and just as I was falling asleep again, she let out a wail. She ended up settling herself back to sleep, but I was wide awake. Not realizing how hot it was going to be yesterday, we hadn't turned air back on and our room was so stuffy and hot. Finally fell asleep around 3. DS came in asking for an escort to the potty at 450, DH got up at 5, DD climbed in bed on my feet sometime after. I also had to let dogs out multiple times. I am not as exhausted as I would expect - so I may be in trouble in an hour or so. Everyone slept an hour later than normal so I'll take that as a win. And LO slept better in the early morning hours so that's a win. Now if I could sleep when they are all sleeping.

Hope the day gets better for all!

@Audrey1787‌ @maryannespier‌ totally feel you guys on being the default person for all things baby. I feel like I shouldn't have to ask to take a shower or to watch him and keep him from dangling off me while I cook us a meal, yet I always have to. It gets old.

@lizabethann06‌ your Jack story reminded me of when we were at my uncles funeral and the priest (hypothetically) asked if anyone wanted to confess. My nephew loudly yelled back, "No, I don't!" Reallyy hard not to laugh at that one.

Uuuuggghhh rough weekend. I too am bummed about missing the meetup this morning! Yesterday I discovered a huge sewage leak/flood/explosion in our carpeted basement. Gross. No one is willing to come fix it til tomorrow so we stayed at my parents house last night. DD decided waking up every hour from 2-6:30 am was the plan so I feel terrible today.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

dliz87

Dear DH, If I tell you I NEED a nap because I am close to non-function and need all of the sleep I can get because you are making me go to your family's bridal shower where your mother will remind me how I didn't have one of those and we "never really got married" -- then don't chase DS up the stairs so he bursts into the bedroom screaming about how you're a "mean vampire" and wakes me up out of a deep sleep. And if you do make those asinine decisions then be prepared for my venomous rage and me to not have enough patience so that I can make it through golf clapping while your cousin opens Tupperware without tellig your mother to F off.

dliz87

Pray for me J13. (

Well I guess I won brown and pink snow pants on eBay. They were cheap and I couldn't see any pink in the pictures and the description just said pink lining so we shall see. If not, oh well, not like he's gonna care.

As soon as this child of mine decides to nap, I'm going to make a big pot of potato soup and a loaf of bread. Mmmmmmmmmmmm =P~

dliz87

@haddocky Can you share your soup recipe?

Same here. It's like torture trying to do something by myself like pee, do laundry, shower or cook dinner. He says sometimes that he rather not have dinner so that he doesn't have to deal with her. Luckily I have my daughters that help out a ton so that I can shower, do a load of laundry and cook. He thinks because he works that when he isn't working he should be relaxing or at the gym. It is really annoying.

@juliedave151‌ - this line breaks my heart for her and you. =((
>:D<

@Rmnam1‌ that's it exactly. I feel guilty asking for time, and he has no problem just taking it. It's absolutely partly on me for not asking, but sometimes it's just a duh moment. Like when I'm trying to make dinner with Giles hanging off my leg - do I really need to ask you to put down your phone and help? I guess I do, but JFC.

Part of it is also Giles's separation anxiety - if DH takes him into the other room while I'm in the kitchen he stands at the gate and screams, and what am I supposed to do? Not let him in? Maybe we've both just given up.

I've felt that way too. Saying something to DH absolutely helped. A lot of times he thinks he is helping, but his priority list is different than mine.
