It's confession time!

I found LO eating a paper towel out of the garbage can in the kitchen this week. I didn't freak out.

H and I met online. I still get emails every week from the dating site. I can't seem to unsubscribe, and it weirds me out that I'm still getting them.

I also posted this in Randoms, but I'll post it here too.

I don't care if MIL comes to see DS for Christmas.  After she yelled at DH last night, I think that the whole visit will be awkward.  I almost want her to come and make a scene so DH will kick her out.

This is my secret fantasy too. I always hope MIL will do something or say something so offensive that DH finally snaps. Not that I want him to snap, but I kind of want her to be put in her place and know the passive aggressive aloof comments are not okay, nor is her treatment of me and LO.

I was nervous about making the transition to SAHM, but I am so fed up with my job right now I may just say "fuck this shit" and quit after the holidays.

I kind of said this about being a SAHM yesterday. (Some French Fries made me feel slightly better.)

I guess the grass always looks greener. In the meantime, I will try some French fries!

Sometimes MH annoys the ever loving crap out of me. When I wash dishes, he 'helps' by standing there watching me. When he 'helps' by making dinner, he takes 20 minutes (exaggeration) to pick out measuring spoons, and half the time will tell me he can't find a 'little t'. Seriously? 2 scoops of the 1/2 'little t' or 4 scoops of the 1/4 'little t' is the same thing!!
Along the same vein, he makes his own instant tea, and HAS to have a certain spoon and a certain measuring cup, or it is just impossible to make.

I've been very passive-aggressive towards other parents at daycare when I seem them not following the "rules", mainly the "both parent AND CHILD must remove their boots at the entrance so as not to spread water/snow/dirt all over the floor" and "children are not allowed to touch the RFID keychain and put it in the wall panel, the parent is solely responsible (we signed a paper agreeing to this 3 weeks ago).

When I see this happening, I talk a little louder and clearer than usual when teaching DD what to do:
"Come remove your boots, DD. See, it's written here that both parent and child must remove their boots. You too walked in the snow outside, just like mommy, so you have to remove your boots. No, you cannot touch the keychain and place it into the wall. F (the director) said no and she would be very upset if she saw you do it".

#sorrynotsorry #yourenotspecial, follow the rules

This would annoy me. Either speak up or let the people in charge handle it.

I believed in Santa longer than anyone I know.

Right up until yesterday's UOs when your beliefs and dreams and innocence were shattered?

I brought a holiday card for everyone in my department besides my boss (who is fairly new and no one likes).  And then I felt bad about it, so I had someone give me back their card so I could give it to him.

LO1 has been sick for four days now, I'm 99% sure it's the flu I also think I'm coming down with it and have quarantined myself in my office. I have debated going home but the kids will be there with H, my office is quieter. I may  will nap at lunch.

Only good thing is this is happening now so at least we *should* be better for Christmas?

I was wrapping presents on the living room floor the other day while E was playing next me. After finishing a present, I looked back and E had the scissors... in her mouth. @-)

I'm certain she had *just* grabbed them, because I had set them down right before (obviously without thinking), but omg the different scenarios that ran through my head in that instant... I won't be making that mistake again.

One day my DH was getting LO's food ready. I asked him to hand me the scissors and he put them on LO's tray instead. I grabbed them ASAP but still worried about the what-ifs. 

I freaked out on him but in reality those things can happen to any of us!

@lalaprep - I think sending a nicely worded PM is the right way to approach it, so nothing flammable IMO about helping a friend.  Now if you had posted some judgey article/tirade on her wall, that's different.

I watch a ridiculous amount of Doc McStuffins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. DD likes both, but I watch it even when she is napping.

I've never had fireball before.  Apparently this is shocking to everyone that I work with.

Um, I don't even know what this is ... Some kind of alcohol? :-/

Yeah.  It's like a cinnamon whisky.

@JackieP1023 Same here. And add Sofia the First. I pretend I leave it on for E even when she's not paying attention, but who am I kidding? I love those shows!

I watched a DVRed episode of Sophia this morning because we missed the new episode when it was on. The kids weren't even in the house.

Sometimes on to-do lists, I'll write things like "don't die" or "eat lunch" so I can at least cross one thing off by the end of the day. Especially when my list is crazy long and will take two or three days to finish everything on it.

I always start a list with at least one thing that has been completed already. Then I get to cross something off

I do the same thing.

I had a moment like this wrapping presents. G was on the bed with toys and I was wrapping on the floor keeping an eye in him. He can't crawl yet so moves very slowly. I only looked away for a moment but as I looked back he was sliding off the bed and landed square on his head.

He was fine and didn't even cry but I still felt like a bad mummy!
