    My kid is playing in the dirty laundry.

    My BIL is in the hospital and I only feel a little sorry for him. Secretly I'm kind of glad and I hope he's smarter in the future!

    I turn 30 on Saturday. Now I feel old and it's getting to me a little bit. Almost wish I could just drink the day away.

    my DH is almost 3 hours late getting home right now.  i had 2 missed calls from him at 8:20 (it's now 10:43) and have called him nearly 10 (or more) times.

    i'm officially panicking.  i am exhausted, have a headache, and i know DS will be waking up sometime soon, but there is no way i can sleep.

    ETA: 11 pm, i just talked to him, he is fine and was trying to call to tell me he was going to be late.  he went out for a drink after the thing he was at and (silly me) my voicemail isn't set up.  i know what i'm doing first thing tomorrow am.

    I hate that I can't talk to my family about my research b/c they all think its really boring. I had to listen to my mom talk about rocks for YEARS and now she just makes wisecracks about my work. She's supportive, but doesn't really make an attempt to "get it". I guess it is boring to everyone, but it still sucks.

    DH has been SERIOUSLY pissing me off lately.  He is lazy, and does everything half ass'd I asked him to clean up the dinner mess....so he throws out the salad puts the dressing  away and that's it....I go out there and the pasta I made is sitting in the sauce pan (stove still on).  UGH HOW annoying. 

    Then I go to target to get some things for the weekend and I come home and he is playing Guitar hero and hands me DS who proceeds to FUSS like crazy.  I got him beer at target and I shouldn't have told  him it wasn't cold and that it had been rolling around in the back of the blazer the entire way home. SO when he opened a can it would spray all over him.  

     THEN he goes to bed without saying goodnight.  What  a douche.

    Got another one- I met my BFF's neighbor who is her friend today at a park.  I didn't know my BFF loved the twilight books, and she mentioned having watched the movie 2X's and has read the books 2X's as  well.  So I said you should read a different book (ADULT series) and her friend proceeds to say she's read it.  I then ask you've read JR Ward?  She goes yes she is also a young adult writer....UH NO I said she is not, she said it again.  I had to tell her no 3 times and said I would never let my tween daugther read JR Ward's books, they are way to Sexy.  So I tried telling my friend about the book and the other girls goes...She isn't ready for Vampire Porn yet.  UGH.  I hate when people don't listen.

    I got another. I'm afraid of how dh thinks I look. I've been dieting like crazy.

    He bought us all new t-shirts today, but he bought me and him both men's large....I'm hoping its because he wanted to keep both shirts for himself and not that he actually thinks I'm that big.

    My confession? Although I am a member of the dreaded liberal media, I am completely un-PC.

    I don't care about what kind of diapers people use. I don't use organic anything. I use bleach to clean my bathroom, and the only environmental impact I care about is whether it kills whatever environment is establishing itself in my toilet. I don't drink bottled water, and neither does my son.

    Joseph has eaten hot dogs and Happy Meals. (He prefers broccoli and eggplant, so naturally, I'm assuming there's brain damage.) I think a whole bunch of people who pearl-clutch about "junk" food on here are liars. It's amazing how many "Oh, we never eat fast food" people were talking non-stop about Burger King and McDonalds back on the tri boards.

    I shop at Walmart unapologetically. As someone who has worked and still volunteers in economic development, the idea that a Walmart kills a downtown just means the people who live there lack imagination. Two nearby downtowns have been reborn as trendy, boutiquey shopping areas that make scads more money than the scruffy, run-down shops that had been there forever. A Walmart would be the best thing that could happen to our downtown.

    I have mom-crushes.  It's sick.  LoriFalce, MrsHarper, Kateysomething, kelbrian (who I have met and is wonderful!), Lanie - all smart and fabulous and make me feel so inadequate.  ;-)

    I think I'm an awesome mom, but the pearl clutchers would hate me. Today was a "eat-whatever-you-want-and-watch-as-much-sprout-as-you-can-handle" day because my sweetheart is teething and wasn't up to par.  He also sleeps with a pillow and a blankie and a stuffed dog and has bumpers on his crib.  I feed him organic food and that includes the organic chocolate milk he had last week after his very first haircut that he did so wonderfully at.  Also, I've "created a monster" because I rock him every. single. night.  Still.  Sometimes I cancel plans just so I can do his bedtime routine because I've been doing it for so long that I miss it if DH does it.  And you know what?  My tv-watching, pillow-sleeping, mama-rocking, chocolate milk-drinking kid is independent and smart and hitting every milestone early or right on time and most importantly...he is HAPPY.

    Tallen's 1st birthday party is this Sunday and I am irritated that a few of my "friends" don't find this to be worthy of a goddamn_ RSVP.  If you can't come, fine, I get it, not your thing, but FFS...LET ME KNOW!  The reason it's a big deal is b/c it's at DH's restaurant (he's a chef) and I need to give them a number by tomorrow.  I guess if the non-RSVP'ers show up, they don't eat.

    On that note, I am having a really hard time as Tallen's birthday approaches.  I was always the girl who didn't want a baby - I would have been content if they handed me a toddler instead. Now that I have a toddler, I want my infant back. I feel like I missed so much because of my PPD and it is killing me.  I put together a photo story for his party (like anyone wants to watch THAT!) and I sobbed as I watched it because I am sad that my little one isn't so little anymore.

    bre - VERY long story and details are still unclear. What I know: BIL and his buddy are hanging out. Friend's crackhead niece called and said someone was at her house threatening her and stole $ from her (turns out to be a crackhead she let move in). SO BIL and his friend go over there, this girl's dad shows up, tries to run over friend's wife with his car, ends up hitting another car in the process, then gets out of his car, starts fighting with BIL and his friend. The guy pulled out a knife and stabbed my BIL. He had to have surgery (luckily he only got muscle and not lungs or intestines) and will be in the hospital for a week. I feel bad for him, but WTF do you expect when you go to junkies houses to whoop ass?? I'm hoping that it hurts bad enough that next time he uses some common sense. I think there is a smart guy lurking beneath the moron if he would just quit being an idiot.

    I got so used to DH traveling for work - now that he is laid off and here every.freaking.night he's driving me nutty.  Don't get me wrong, I love him to no end, but he's driving me plum azz crazy.  It was weird because he only traveled 3 nights a week but it was nice to have our king sized bed to myself and not wake up due to his snoring, then wake up when he got quiet (sleep apnea - the silence wakes me and I kick him so he breathes - he won't go to a sleep clinic) and it's driving me batty.  I also got used to just having DS and I to pick up after - now it's him too again.  It drives me crazy he literall leaves a trail of clothes and I don't like to go to sleep with a dirty house - espcially a dirty kitchen, but doesn't bother him one bit.  Grr.

    DH keeps talking about moving DS into his crib, I would much rather DH move into his own room. For that matter and I don't know how I feel about him anymore. Since he has been laid off I am the bread-winner and I don't like it. I want to be the Mommy dammit and I want to be with someone who WANTS to take care of and provide for there family. He isn't even trying. I am really thinking about setting a time table or I am going to have to take DS and go. I don't want to, but I have to do what is best for us.

    You can always pack a cooler.  We did it to save money and so we wouldn't have to make so many stops with a baby on a long trip.

    As someone who has been a vegetarian for over 10 years, I'm confident that we won't be stopping at any fast food joints on our journeys.  We pack food with us.. very easy and cheap.  I won't say that Jude will NEVER have fast food, but we sure as heck won't be taking him because we don't ever go ourselves (I'm not exaggerating - we NEVER go).  Maybe it's because we live in a city and have access to tons of healthier, more delicious, quick options, but IMO, it's not ridiculous for me to say my kid won't be eating fast food anytime soon.

    This just breaks my heart. I know how you feel. I had a m/c almost 2 years ago, and sometimes I still feel sad about it. I'm soooo glad I have DD and I love her with all my heart, but that doesn't take all the hurt away from the miscarriage. Have you looked into some sort of grief counseling? Sadly, there isn't a lot of support for pregnancy loss. ((HUGS))

    Same here.  Dh and my SS eat it, but I am a vegetarian, so there's not much there for me.  So, when we are together, we don't stop for it.  I don't plan on giving ds fast food for quite some time.  No biggie.

    I want to know why people assume that the mom's who make baby food, cloth diaper, don't watch tv or eat "junk" food are judging others who do differently. I have never seen anyone on here say, "OMG...you use sposies? Do you not love your child or the earth???" Nor have they said, "Junkfood has zero nutritional value and I abhor all those who think giving it to a child is okay." NOR have they said, "TV rots your brains!" ;)

    So, I'd like to know where this whole "pearl clutcher" term and all the "GASP: I let my kid watch TV" posts came from? Anyone have a link to a substantial amount of judgemental/condescending posts from these moms? I'd really like to know...because it just seems to me that they state what they do/don't do, just like everyone on here- and really, how does that warrant the mockery??

    FWIW, K watches tv sometimes, and she will know the joy of a chicken nugget from McDonalds....ohhh, and Wendys. Wink

    Exactly. We actually don't take many road trips, but when we do we always pack our own food, more to save money than for health reasons. It's not really that difficult to avoid fast food if you want to. We want to, so we do. If not, cool. No judging from me - DH and I have only been fast food-free for about 4 months now, but I'm hoping to stick with it, at least through the summer. It was getting too easy for us to just pop out to McDonald's, Wendy's, etc. It was better for us to stop cold turkey.

    The only "judge-y" post about tv that I can remember is the ridiculous person who started flaming everyone for allowing their babies to watch the Presidential Inauguration. She said that tv caused autism and that the varying "decipals" would do serious harm to everyone's kids.

    She was speshul.
