10 Things Tuesday

gutsysneakers

1. I left early for work aka pretty much on time. Go me!

2. DD looks incredibly cute today in some Halloween apparel. 

3. Every single bottle tipped over in her diaper bag and spilled which means:

4. 5 oz of liquid gold - gone. Poof! Just like that. Which also means: 

5. My new car will now smell like spoiled milk by the time I get home from work today. 

6. DD is also sick. She is so congested. I have nose frida and saline. Daycare made me feel like a shitty mom when I dropped her off.

7. I brought lunch which means I don't have to spend $10 today. Go me! Saving money is good. 

8. DD slept for 11 hours straight last night due to the fact that she only slept 1 hour at DC yesterday which means...DH and I were able to watch both Homeland episodes last night - go us!

9. I need coffee. Stat. Too much shit has happened this morning and its only 8:10am. 

10. Why isn't it Friday yet?

@Jcrewgirl85‌ What did dc say to you?

kendy20

1. DD slept 8 straight hours without waking up!
2. Need to get my hair cut really bad! Starting to look like I don't have bangs anymore and with pp hair loss, not sure if I even wanna get it cut.
3. Finally am able to run 5 miles without feeling like I'm going to pass out. Won't be back up to my 10-13 miles until I'm done breastfeeding though.
4. Over cooked DH's eggs this morning...fail.
5. Nurses DD at Sears in the mattress area this past weekend, figured I'd rather be comfy in a nice recliner if I have to feed her while I'm out ;-)
6. Tired of seeing my stretch marks and envy those who didn't get any.
7. Need to start giving our dog more attention.
8. Made it to pre pregnancy weight but definitely do not look the same.
9. SAHM and am slacking on laundry but don't really care, it will eventually get done.
10. Got some really sad news yesterday, my twin sister who had two miscarriages before having my nephew, just found out she had a miscarriage again :-( At least she's blessed with my nephew and is now going to have tests done to try to figure it all out.

@bridetobe9132013 - I brought her in, they took her, and I started unpacking spilled bottles and one of the ladies said to the other (I was out of her line of vision) something to the effect of "she is so stuffy she can barely breath" and the other teacher who could see me asked how she was doing and it seems she was worse from last week. I said yes, she is congested. We had the air purifier running all night in her room, I bought the Little Remedies saline, and nose frida (brought in the blue bulb for DC), but she doesn't have a fever. DH and I both have whatever she has so yes, I know my child is sick. Then they brought up that virus that is going around and I told them that she doesn't have a fever. She is still her smiley self, just horribly congested. 

They weren't mean about it, but thank you Capt. Obvious - I know and you pointing it out and asking what I have for her makes me feel like a shitty FTM.

@bunannie‌ I feel ya on the no friend thing! It gets lonely. I moved to Missouri from Michigan to finish school and met my husband so I stayed. I had made friends but he lived 2 hours away so moved that way and made work friends but not any who are my age and at the same point in life. Now I'm a SAHM and the couple friends who were also SAHM's that I met trough my husband (his friends wives) moved out of state. I decided I am going to break out of my comfort zone and join the MOPS program here. Is there anything like that in your area?

Edit because I put the wrong username. Shesh! Need my glasses.

hbird0723

Oh and your DH sounds like mine. He's pretty much said one and done but I know he will change his mind. I keep telling him she needs a partner in crime.

hbird0723

@bunannie‌ no way! We live in Columbia. Went to Graceland in independence.

I didn't even think about flu season. Yuck! I'm a bit nervous to go to ours because I'm not sure what to expect and if everyone already knows each other and I'm new. Being the new person stinks lol.

1. Today I got an unexpected and paid day off work!
2. I had DH take both kids to dc.
3. Our other car has a dead battery that DH hasn't fixed yet so I am home alone, but I don't have a car.
4. I even changed D's 4 m. appt so I got a whole day to myself.
5. DD is sleeping horribly still BUT she didn't pee on the floor last night. I'm trying the 'go into her room every time she gets up and calmly and cooly put her back down' method. Hopefully it works. She got up more than DS last night.
6. Friday is DD's 3rd bday and my parents are coming down!
7. We got DD a play kitchen that is awesome and I can't wait to see her face.
8. We also got DD her first real bakery made birthday cake. It's Daniel Tiger themed since she is obsessed with him and with cake because of an episode of that show. Again, so excited to see her face.
9. I love this fall weather that everyone else is complaining is cold.
10. Is it Friday yet?

HAndrews25

1. I tried on 5 dresses yesterday, looking for one to wear to my brother’s wedding on Saturday.  They all looked horrible.

2. I need to cut the little dudes nails, he is lookin’ like Howard Hughes.

3. I miss my hubby, he has been working a ton lately.  

4. My Godmother and Cousins are coming into town for my Brother’s Wedding.  They are all coming over early on Thursday to meet the Little Dude!

5. I gained 70lbs during pregnancy…  I only have 12lbs left to go to be back to my original size!  I literally have been working my a** off.  J 

6. Watching the Little Dude light up when he see his Papa melts my hearts. 

7. I am too lazy to go get my breakfast. Right now lazy is winning over hunger.

8. I have sooooooo much to do at work today, but I am here on the Bump.

9. Hunger is starting to beat lazy…

10. I am looking forward/dreading dress shopping on Friday.  I HAVE to find something.

lrmrtn

1. Thrilled my cold is back after a 3 day break.
2. How does LO know I'm sick and choose last night to wake up at 2 am when he's been sleeping 12 hours?
3. I need sleep.
4. And a vacation on a beach with an endless pitcher of pina coladas.
5. I hate autocorrect.
6. I can't wait to be out of our house.
7. I wish DH could find a decent job.
8. I've been looking at apartments all morning instead of working.
9. My pumpkin muffin was totally worth the calories.
10. Must go to the gym.

tbiscuit18

1. First day of childcare today and I made it to work only 10 min late!

2. I cancelled tutoring this afternoon bc DH is working late and I want the alone time.

3. I want to quit my part time job but everytime I try my boss won't accept my resignation.

4. I fit into a pre-pregnancy outfit today and have been told twice that I look super cute. Confidence boosted!

5. Leaving my child with someone besides family has caused me extreme anxiety. But I'm dealing.

6. Teaching middle school boys is trying. One already said erection this morning.

7. There is not enough coffee in the world to get me through this day.

8. Is it too early for a beer?

9. I desperately want to find a job that allows me to work from home.

10. I finally scheduled DS's baptism! Family is off my back!

dp1320

1. I haven't been on time for work since the first week of returning from materinty leave. Daycare drop offs are hard, yo.

2. DS has an ear infection and cold. Makes me sad BUT he seemed to be a lot better this morning. I need to text the DCP.

3. There are 16 bags of kettle corn sitting in my office and I want to eat all of it.

4. I have so much to do before my best friend and her H come to visit this weekend.

5. I love having visitors but I don't want anyone else playing with DS. I'm a total mama bear.

6. I can't believe it's only Tuesday.

7. DCP texted back saying he's happy and eating. This makes my heart happy.

8. Enterovirus freaks me the F out. More than the 'bola.

9. Did I mention kettle corn?

10. I don't think anyone actually reads these.

@Mary97 DS is obsessed with his feet. It definitely makes diaper changes more difficult.

MerryLove

1.) @Cook251 I don't think my TJ's has the pumpkin Kringle. I am sad about this and plan to ask about it next time I'm there.

2.) @DH09072012‌ I'm reading...

3.) Pacing the house with LO in the Beco while he naps. I can't sit down or he will wake up. I just want to sit down.

4.) I wish we were having Fall weather here. I am over this 90 - 100 degrees BS.

5.) Family is coming this weekend!

6.) ^^That means good food!

7.) I'm hungry, but can't think of anything healthy that I want to eat.

8.) Our internet is down so I'm using data. TW Cable sucks.

9.) Everything I think of to say has to do with food and I'm trying really hard to think of other things so you guys won't think I am a single-minded glutton.

10.) Since *nobody* reads these anyways, eff it. I've settled on leftover ravioli at 10am.

@kittyriot dill pickle popcorn?!  Mmmm...

and 11. It's 2:30 on my surprise day off...and I don't know what to do.  There's so much to do I think I'm confused and here I am sitting on the couch, with the tv on, on the bump.  

tbiscuit18

@kittyriot‌ if you have one I'll have one! Then we're not "technically" drinking alone before noon.

kittyriot said:

I do have a bottle of wine that was opened a couple days ago so it needs to be finished today, it's cold out, it's red wine, it seems like a good way to warm myself up...I'm in @tbiscuit18‌ :>

Just poured a glass of an already opened bottle! And guess what?! It's after 12! It's a win! 

PS - I'm drinking it out of a short water glass so I can hide the evidence. I feel slightly like an alcoholic...but, as long as I don't make it a habit it's all good. 

bumpuser10194737

1.  In Chicago!  DH has a work conference and DS3 and I tagged along.

2. Missing DS1 and DS2 who are with grandparents.

3. DS1 and DS2 are having a blast and being spoiled, so they probably don't miss me all that much. ;-)

4. Eating way too much amazing Italian food while here.  The gym will be calling name.

5. I hate shopping for shoes.

6. I see a pair of the perfect black ballet flats.  They are $198.  Put them back.  Find anothe perfect pair.  They are $119.  I am not spending anything close to that.  

7. We are set to close on our house and the house we are buying in less than three weeks!

8. Moving in just over month.

9. Hope my little guy sleeps better tonight in the hotel than he did last night.

10. Multiple strangers thought DS was a girl while out shopping today.  He was wearing orange and gray.  Kind of neutral I suppose.

1. I miss not fearing turning sideways in the mirror

2. DS has entered his next leap and is so moody. He kept falling asleep then waking explosively crying for about 2 hours last night before he finally passed out at 8ish.

3. I want a solo vacation.

4. I had anxiety thinking about how I will likely never get to solo roadtrip with my dog ever again. Not that I dislike the alternative, but something about endless hours of quietude on open roads with my puppy in the back is just.. heaven.

5. I'd like to replace most of my meals with coffee.

6. I have lived in Atlanta over a year and I still don't have a single friend.

7. I wish DS was like.. 3 months older. This period is very very trying. 

8. I also wish DS was like.. 12, so I could leave him at home while I ran errands. 

9. I worry sometimes that DH won't want more kids, even though we agreed we wanted two.

10. I worry sometimes that I won't want more kids bc I want DS to grow up with a sibling.

This age is trying!  I love when they hit about nine months.  SO much fun!  Hang in there!.  I think you will both decide you want another when DS is about one if you had already kind of planned on it.  I think we are done at three but not doing anything permanent just yet because I know this is a tough age.

3) Actually looked put together for work today....win!

4) Had soup for lunch...starving now

5) It's October and way too hot in Florida - OVER IT

6) There's a shit ton of laundry that needs to be washed and more to be ironed

7) Made my baby laugh out loud - best sound in the world.

8) Waiting for this friggin cold to go away!!!

9) Having a big bowl of pasta for dinner - yay carbs!!!!

1) I have always loved 10 Things Tuesday largely because I talk in non-sequiturs so I read them all too @DH09072012‌ and @MerryLove‌

2) I went shopping with my Mom last week and I just finished my last bag of Kernels Dill Pickle popcorn. I'm content and a little sad.

3) I am really happy I am not the only one here who contemplates alcoholic beverages at NOON.

4) Babe just went down for her afternoon nap, all I want to do is watch movies and bump. I have so many things I should be doing, and I just don't wanna...my grandmother would be playing her little violin for me.

5) I have an IPad 2 and its reallllly slow these days. So I want a new one. But it's going to be a while before I can replace it. So of course I can't stop thinking about it.

6) The movie I have on is Soul Surfer. It's surprisingly sweet...and has a great cast!

7) LO's Highchair was delivered yesterday. So far, I'm really happy. We bought the ingenuity 3 in 1. It's a great value and isn't a complete eyesore.

8) I dream about vacations everyday! My husband has a conference in Fredricton, NB in May so I am going to go with and then we're going to do a tour of the East Coast of Canada. I'm already planning out the trip. My parents are out in Alberta for the next week, so I have planned out a fair amount of their trip too. Ya, life is a little on the boring side these days.

9) I'm currently thinking about what next to snack on...

10) I'm contemplating taking some water colour classes. I think I'd really enjoy it.

Yeah Fredericton! If you're coming out east can I suggest making the trip over to PEI? It's beautiful over there

That is absolutely the plan! I am a die-hard Anne fan! Can't believe I've made it to this age and never been... As far as the east coast goes I've only ever been to Halifax (when I was 17 and on a high school band trip).

We went to PEI for a week at the beginning of September and stayed in Cavandish. Green Gables is great, the grounds are beautiful and PEI national park has some amazing beaches.

@Jcrewgirl85‌ I am sorry they made you feel like a bad mom I remember the days working in the daycare. I always felt bad having to call parents to come get their sick kids. I would usually bring it up to the parents also and ask if he/she had a fever I can see how it would make you feel bad about it though. I mean, you are doing what you have to do. Its not like you would bring her there if you didnt have to. I used to work at a "Bright Horizons" if any lo's go there

ho11yday

1) Worked 5 days for the last two weeks. I'm done with this shit
2) I need to be up early tomorrow and stay up late tonight for a silly work meeting. Not looking forward to it.
3) I hate how since having kids my period cramps are now in my back. Damn you back labor.
4) I need to poop. This could be contributing to the back cramps.
5) I think poop is an appropriate topic of conversation with anyone and everyone. At work. At church. Pillow talk. Whenevs.
6) Poop.
7) Have I mentioned I love you ladies. All of you. Every last one of you. This might be period talk. Regardless. I love you.
8) My toddler made me sad when I left for work yesterday. He stood by the gate and looked down; I kissed him good bye and he made sad eyes at me. He then went to DH and showed him his charlie brown doll saying "Mama" and hugged it.
9) I haven't called my mother in like two weeks. Not sure if I'm pissed at her or just haven't really wanted to talk.
10)  Vacation in two weeks. Yay.

dp1320

Lol I'm impressed with all of you ladies!
