This morning I cried about my hair. So dumb. It makes me feel shallow and vain....dumbest thing ever to cry about

I am leaving work early today but didn't tell my mom (she watches my boys). I plan on using the extra 2 hours to clean house and relax

I'd ridiculously excited about going to Trader Joe's in a bit and buying the new Truffle Salami and Blue Cheese pecan dip. 

I will probably sit in front of Netflix and devour both while watching, "Love Actually." 

Today =

DH and I are in a competition with each other to see who can jog the most miles in the month of December. I am winning by 2miles. My confession is that I set my alarm for the past two mornings to get up and go jog and I turned it off to sleep in some. I'm lazy about it. I guess I will go during nap time now. *le sigh*

My kid doesn't own any shoes. He probably won't own any until he is big enough to start walking

I'm considering using condoms for the next two months to avoid having a winter holiday baby #2. Too many birthdays in November and then there's Christmas- who wants to get jipped out of birthday presents and stuff. So stupid, I know.

I am terrified to start DD on solids. I don't know what it is, it just seems like it will be so complicated. It's so easy to just nurse her when she's hungry. I was nervous the pedi would bring it up at the 4 month visit and was so relieved when he didn't. I'd like to wait until 6 months if I can.

I started a birthday party ideas board on Pinterest when DD was about a week old. I don't go too over-the-top, but I do love a good themed party. Now I can't decide on a theme because I've over-Pinned.

Mine doesn't either.why would he? They are just a pain in the ass and serve no purpos.

Oh and one more...my 4.5 month old is teething and has a cold. Poor baby is so miserable. I noticed he was getting distracted by the tv so he is currently in his bouncy watching veggie tails....mother of the year award right here....

I don't have the energy to figure out who the hell badleroybrown used to be, but the new avatar creeps me out.

I'm considering moving nap times for the boys bc it now falls during DH's lunch time. I love him but I look forward to those two hours all to myself. Having him around ruins it

It's the lady from the Hocus Pocus (spelling) movie which I LOVE!

LO is on nap strikes and only takes 3 30 minute naps a day. The has caused her to go to bed earlier and earlier. She lays down now between 6:30 and 7pm when it used to be closer to 8pm. My DH keeps asking me to try and stretch her later so he can spend more time with her when he gets home from work. I feel bad he doesn't get to see her very much but bedtime is sometimes the happiest time of the day for me right now. So I am totally okay with her going to bed at 6:30 and I haven't even tried to get her to stay up later...

This is us, too.  Poor LO.  He's so tired when he gets home with me, he nurses, fusses a bit I get him in his PJs, he wants to nurse a bit more, then he conks out for the night.  The other night DH had to work late so LO was sound asleep by the time he got home.

Confession: I do kind of like the semi-early bedtime (when it's like 8pm, not 7pm).  Because then I can get stuff done and even have a little me time.  Without that buffer before bed, me time does not happen.  I so desperately need it after the first several months of no me-time. (But the other night I got kind of depressed that he was already asleep because I felt like all we'd done to hang out that night was feed him, so I ugly cried that I missed my sweet time with him.  Emotions be conflictin', man.)

We were all gung ho to start DS on solids.  This time around, not so much.  The idea of trying to feed DD solids with DS hanging off me wanting to "help" scares me more than it probably should.  Definitely going with BLW this time around (except DC doesn't do that, but it's on them to feed her during the day anyways).  Our pediatrician told us at the 4 mos check to wait until 6 mos to start, so she's only had a few peas put in front of her twice.  And a slice of apple to gnaw on.

My FFFC:  MIL got into town yesterday for a week.  My trainer is also finally back in town.  I should have put off getting back to working out so I can visit with my MIL.  I didn't.  Working out tonight instead, broken foot and all.

My dog is dying, but he's not dead yet. I changed all my flights yesterday to get home and spend some time with him, but there were crazy fees. I told everyone I could that my dog died to get some sympathy and have them reduce the fees.

Sorry to hear about your dog. I don't blame your for trying to get reduced fees. My thoughts are with you.

I have been putting off calling and getting back on my depression medicine for far too long. I have struggled with it for years, after I had DS1 I felt great for over 2 years. After DS2 was born it's been slowly getting worse and worse. I'm so mad I have to get back on medicine, I absolutely hate it and the side effects. Apparently I'm having a Friday night pity party for myself.

Call your doctor, this is a medical condition. You wouldn't put off calling your doctor if you had diabetes and needed insulin.

I've now started a page for DS's birthday. So many ideas!

My confession: my moms birthday is tomorrow and she's going to celebrate with a big group of people at a Venezuelan Christmas party at night. She wanted us to go and bring DS, but I have no desire to be with so many people. So I told her I didn't think it was a good idea to bring DS around so many people during cold and flu season, even though his dr said it was fine. I feel bad since it's her birthday but we are having lunch and going for pedicures during the day so I don't think she minds too much that we aren't going.

I feel like I overcompensate for DS1 and DH having birthdays near the holidays. I'm fairly certain they get far more presents than they would if their birthdays were in another part of the year.

I just figure since he's chewing on his hands all the time I should probably start washing/wiping them more often. But good to know I'm not alone!

I don't either....

i lied about my son's age again today I told some stranger he's 2 months. After getting asked why he's so small too often by moms of babies close in age and even if I smoked/drank during pregnancy I'm done. I don't need to tell his whole story to strangers.He's small, but doing amazing given his birth weight.

Someone actually asked you that??? WTF

Yep, because they had twin nieces born at 34 weeks or so who were 5 lbs, I MUST have done something wrong. They knew someone who had small babies, early babies because they smoked, did I? I don't like explaining IUGR to strangers they don't get it most times. Most times I try to leave it as he was early.

It doesn't take much energy with the birthdate in the siggy, just go look in the birth announcement thread.  I never would have cared enough to search, except for all the humbling bragging about creating a secret new account.  The search was way more exciting then the reveal though.

I have the exact same feeling!

Ain't nobody got time (or energy) for that.

LO is usually taking a nap in his crib when DH wants to get frisky.  I'm paranoid about LO waking up, so I make sure the sessions are relatively quick.  I've never had a very strong libido, so I'm totally okay with DTD then moving on with stuff I need to accomplish. Libido is pretty much MIA with a sleeping baby nearby.

The Random, AW, Vent thread comes to mind... Even though I was a super active poster and was with the board from the beginning, I started a new screen name completely fresh. There are a lot of people who don't know who I am/was. I kind of like it.
