My 5 year old has been annoying the crap out of me lately. She asks 7000 ridiculous questions a day and says the most random nonsensical things in the world. She literally never stops talking from the moment she gets up until the moment she goes to sleep. Today is her last day of summer school too so she'll be home all day every day for the next month and a half. I know this is normal 5 year old behavior and I feel bad but some days I want to rip my hair out. My temper and patience are definitely waning.
Thank god I'm not alone.... my SD does the same thing. She's such a talkative kid. And I get irked when she asks the same question but rewords it... or when she asks ridiculously obvious questions. For example when putting her lunchbox in her backpack for day camp she asked "are you putting my lunchbox in my backpack?"....really? Lol
Prayers for you and others in the same boat. Patience is hard while pregnant.

Yes! I hate when she asks me the same question 5 times and when she asks me questions she clearly knows the answer to. I swear if she has nothing to say she just talks out of her ass to hear the sound of her own voice. I am going to try my hardest to have patience with her and do fun stuff with her for the rest of summer. Thank baby Jesus she's going to kindergarten full days starting early September. Good luck with your SD!
YOU GUYS. I just discovered the most magical thing the world. DH's homemade banana bread with nutella. Not sharing. Sorry, not sorry.
Nutella on banana bread is the dog's bollocks, I'm so sorry it hasn't been part of your life until now.
Confession: Im one stupid question/request to go on Pottermore/demand to know when Grandma is getting here away from effing losing it with kiddo1.0 right now. I have a headache I can't shift today thanks to the weather and I'm one million percent done.
While I am absolutely in awe of the fact that my body is growing a baby right now, I am so annoyed by how ugly and frumpy I feel. Instead of the pregnancy glow I have acne worse than I have in 10 years, there are epic dark circles under my eyes, my already thick hair is now an out of control mop, and I think like 90% of maternity clothes I've tried look absurd on me. And while I'm thrilled to have 2 months off work this summer it also means I really have no incentive to dress nicely, wear make up or anything like that. Blargh. I think mama-to-be needs a trip to the spa or something.
I cut 4 inches off-love my new hair cut! And Zulily.com has awesome maternity dresses from between 20-35 dollars-not bad! I just got 3 adorable maternity maxi dresses and I love them!! This has helped me feel better....I was pretty down in the dumps!! Just a thought :-)!!
My FFFC - I'm having a terrible day and letting my emotions get the best of me. I was diagnosed with GD 2 weeks ago, and have been keeping my daytime numbers in check with diet and exercise, but my fasting weren't good enough. I just got put on insulin, and the appointment was just terrible. The dietician is condescending, the doc thinks that because I'm a SAHM I can just pop in whenever (the office is half hour away, I have my toddler with me, and the apps are 5 mins long), and they were all clearly trying to get me out the door so they could leave for a summer weekend. I was crying the whole way home. I love food normally, but now the entire concept of eating and food is a chore and it's making me sad. My house is a mess, I'm a mess, and I just feel like a terrible wife and mom at the moment. I want to say fuck it and have a glass of wine for dinner - counting the carbs of course. (

You aren't a bad wife/mom. You are allowed to have yourself a big ole pity party because I'm sure GD sucks. Being a SAHM is not easy either I'm sure. I hope that things get back on track for you soon. *Creepy interwebz hugs*
My confession: I was just crying because someone decided they wanted to leave a spoonful of egg salad in the bowl... it's all I wanted. Now I am making DH go out and get me a salad with egg salad on it. No shame
Oh I am sure I am going to take it for this one, but I am getting a little frustrated with everyone who has ever had a child giving me their hand-me-downs. While I appreciate the thought, I am starting to feel like goodwill, and it honestly feels like it is just creating more work (and mess) for me. I am sure this is a very UO, and I really do appreciate the thought, but I really don't need your babies stained onesies...
I complete appreciate 99% of all the offers and the freebies I get. I really do. A coworker of mine from UPS offered me her son's old mesh fruit chewie things (can't think of the name). Gross. I've never met up wirh her outside of work, never met her kids, and it's not like we're related in the least. Just ick!
This isn't really a confession, but it really bothers me when coworkers (the men and the childless) act like maternity leave is some kind of wonderful vacation! The first 6 weeks are recovery and I was only planning on taking 8-10 weeks total including those 6...
Yeah, I only get 6 weeks, and I intend to start a bit before my due date if nothing changes between now and then with my job (on my feet for 8-hour shifts, no designated breaks).
It's nice that people offer their old baby items but not then they are clearly ready to be thrown away.
My sister in law made me come go through all her baby stuff from her kids.... Some of that shit was passed down from HER sister-in-law and those kids are teenagers. So they've now gone through this other woman's 2 kids, my 2 nieces, the two little girls who love next door to my SIL and now she thinks I want it. They are so crusty and pale looking it's disgusting. I took a few items to be polite but they went in the back of the closet.
Oh and she wanted me to take an ancient playpen that spent the last 3 years in the backyard. It only had a little mold in in so it should be ok. Screw that!!

Omg my DD1 is 5 too and has days like this. I asked her one day to be quite for 5 min and I would give her a dollar. I know bad mommy but I was about to explode. She got Dollar and that 5 mins was heavenly. She goes back to school in 3 weeks and I am excited. She us not bad just annoying non stop talking.
I go through DD1's clothes and separate what she gives to DD2 and the rest gets trashed. I dont mind hand me downs but not over used ones. I also wouldn't donate underwear, pacifiers, bottle nipples. That's just gross to me. Bathing suit bottoms also have to buy new. They are just like underwear to me.
I had a stupid day at work dealing with obnoxious and unnecessary things, and so I decided it was time to go check out the new candy section at IKEA. Some of the stores now have a wall of all different kinds of gummy candies (and licorice, but we'll just ignore that because it's nasty) I spent like $12 on a big bag of gummies and I have no regrets, they're delicioussssssss! Totally worth it

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually was just looking up a new hairstylist (as the guy I've been going to for the past several years just moved across the country) I think sprucing myself up a bit could definitely help improve my mood.

Haha I have so done that! Mine is very well behaved too and that's why I feel bad. She's rarely naughty she just annoys me with the constant talking and ridiculous questions.
