Oh, I'm just supposed to tell my kid to act right and she'll do it? Why didn't you say so? Lol.

Right! I have been doing it so wrong for 13 years and 3 kids. Thankfully someone gave us this magical advice though LOL.

Dh and i went out last night so i didn't get to bed until after midnight. The baby woke at 2 then was up for the day at 5:30. When i got him back down at 7, DS1 woke up. I woke up dh and told him i was going back to bed. Dh put on cartoons and slept on the couch, so of course DS1 came to wake me up before 8. I'm struggling.

My brother was supposed to install carpet in our basement today, but i can't get a hold of him.

DS is 2.5.

I can tell hubby is stressed right now- suddenly there is much more pressure on him as the sole breadwinner and provider.

He took a shower and calmed down/reset himself.

Congrats @hawkward!!

I just learned that if you get Siri to type a text message for you, she'll use fucking instead of ducking!

Good morning! We are taking our Christmas tree down today because this is the last day my community does Christmas tree recycling. Yes, our Christmas tree is still up. Suck it, judgers.

My big tree is down, but my little one is still up along with our stockings. I have been busy and its not priority 1 to me right now.

Is it just me or is it impossible to find a sound machine that never goes off?

The one I have in our nursery is on 24/7. It's a The First Years. I will see if I can find a link.

DS2 swimming at y! I have zillions things to do. BUT IT'S COLD AS FUC!K OUT! NOT DOING SHIT AFTERWARDS!

Me and the wee one are home alone until tomorrow afternoon!  I tried letting him sleep with me last night (slumber party!).  Hell no.  He randomly sits straight up, then crashes back down.  My poor noggin, after two collisions he was escorted back to his crib.

My DD#2 just turned a year old and she is the worst at this, it hurts SO bad!

I use a box fan as white noise. Not pleasing to the eye but was better at drowning out background than anything else.

SpaceGirlSpiff

I second the First Years sound machine, we have it too.... DS likes to listen to the music (little classical tunes) but it has white noises too and will go all night

You can also plug it in so no need for batteries

My brother isn't able to do our carpet today. We took down Christmas decorations instead. I convinced dh to donate everything we didn't put up this year. Now everything fits in 2 totes.

@littlestjerry‌ this is the one we have.

Thanks everyone! I bookmarked them all and can now over-analyze each one!!

I thought MK was the only park without alcohol? 

littlestjerry

DS and I just cleaned the upstairs. When I vacuum, he gets out his Tow Mater push toy, which he apparently believes to be a vacuum. It's super cute, but kind of annoying because he follows my every move and gets in my way. He even pretends to plug it in. Then, I store our vac away in our bedroom closet and Tow Mater gets parked right next to it haha.

Well all my worries about Reese last night were unfounded. She woke up completely happy and seriously haven't left the kitchen ALL day. I am running out of healthy options to give her. Between 6am and 11 she had: an apple, two things of French Toast sticks, a silver dollar pancake, 3 big carrots, 2/3 of a container of strawberries, a bowl of unsweetened applesauce, a bowl of Cheerios and milk. It was ridiculous. Guess she was making up for lost time of missing dinner two nights in a row.

So 3 parenting babies arrive today???? That just epic! I want the kiddos to have yearly gtgs and become best friends

DON'T CRUSH MY DREAMS!!!!!!!

I did not know that. I was at Animal Kingdom last month and saw beer so I just assumed each park had beer. Thanks for the info! A pregame beer will be in order then.

oscarwao

I quick Google search revealed there is beer at MK, but only at the Be Our Guest restaurant during dinner hours. I bet they charge a pretty penny.

We booked our family trip to wdw! 1 week and we are staying at the villas at AK! I had a dream we were there and I woke early, I wanted to take sammie to see the animals wandering the resort but was conflicted because I wanted her dad to see her reaction too. Woke up mad at him for sleeping in.

Tl;dr we are going to wdw and my unconcious mind is already overthinking it

@BrightEyes112‌ that's the worst! I also hate movie theaters that don't have beer or a bar. I'd way rather have a beer than popcorn, KWIM?

@credcat7‌ I hear that resort is tons of fun! Enjoy your trip!

Lol our theatre doesn't sell booze, but at least I know that going in.

There's some trend going on in my city where almost all the theatres have converted to full service theatres in like the past 5 years. DH and I were ridiculously excited the first.time we went .... we split a bucket lol.
