1.  I'm semi-impressed that Bumbershoot got Bob Dylan this year. 

2.  I'm just starting second breakfast.

3.  The nursery is currently our TV room.  We have an old, smelly couch up there that one of my cats adores.  As soon as someone sits on it, he's right there, curled up next to them with his head on their leg.  He doesn't do that on our other couch.  We have to get rid of the couch to make room for the cribs and we don't have room in our garage to store the couch for later use. None of our friends or family can store it for us.  I feel guilty for getting rid of his favorite piece of furniture.  Like guilty to the point of wanting to rent a storage unit so we don't have to get rid of it.

1. I cried a little yesterday when I realized Kaskade was having her baby. I am so jealous  

2. I keep wanting to call friends and ask them to hang out, but then I dont think I will be any fun, so I've been alone a lot lately.

3. I have eaten a ridiculous amount of Capn Crunch lately. And guess what I'm having right now?? Yup. It makes me so happy

I have a box of cupcakes from cupcake royale sitting in my kitchen. I'm seriously considering having one for breakfast.

I eat my dessert with baby spoons because it lasts longer.

Bob Dylan @ Bumbershoot = sweet! Huge fan. I used to "work" for his son Jakob. Okay, I co-designed their fansite before their record label made them one. The band would send us updates directly. We got free tickets and backstage passes to any concert we wanted. I think he is the only person I can honestly say I would totally have slept with him - married or not - but he was always a standup (and hilarious!) guy around us. Damn, he is fine in person.I used to be such a rock groupie.

Flash forward to now. I made no plans this weekend. I hope it rains so I feel no obligation to do anything. I want to cuddle G, play inside, and catch up on "Dexter" and my "Cooking Light" magazines!

It was my son who took down the entire credit/debit card system at Fred Meyers yesterday.  And I don't feel bad - the clerk should have turned the card machine around when Ryan started messing with it.

My DH (and my ILs) want us to go to Leavenworth this weekend to their home there. We haven't been up in a while. I DO NOT WANT TO GO. I have been traveling & working my arse off, starting most days at the office by 4:30am, I'm tired, I want to spend some time with my baby and DH without the ILs and I really don't feel like dealing with traffic.  And by the way, I'm selfish and don't care what anyone else wants to do.  I want my own bed, my dog allowed in the house (their mcmansion is too good for maggie to be inside but they keep their stinky cat in there - grrrrrrr) and I don't feel like packing another suitcase AGAIN.  That is all.

I have one more and though I'm not proud of my behavior, I don't regret it.

 

I made G's 1st b-day invitations and sent them out - we are making a big deal of her Birthday.  I was chatting with my sister, who lives in Lewiston, Idaho last night and her DH apparently made a comment that I was going over the top for the 1st birthday and that it was materialistic, blah, blah, blah. I asked to speak to him and here is what I said:

After $50K in fertility treatments, 3 miscarriages, 5 IUIs, 2 IVFs, 42 weeks in utero and a baby that I can't believe I love so much, I'll have whatever damn nice party I want for her to celebrate her life and if you would like to criticize me, please don't bother showing up.  (while the inside voice said "BITE ME").

He was silent and passed the phone back.  Don't mess with the Mama bear.

Ummm yeah, you have every right to celebrate your baby's first birthday in style.  HUGS  I would have said the same damn thing.  EEEK!  She's going to have so much fun!!

I think your response was waaaaay better than bite me. You deserve to celebrate the first year of your baby however you damn well please, and I agree that after what you've gone through the bigger the party, the better. Go mama bear, go!

I've been waiting all week to post this. I lurk on the adoption board and in the past few weeks there has been a woman who has dealt with some pretty crazy situations and has been a complete post hog about it all. If she had not recently posted pictues of her new baby, i would have guessed her entire drama was made up. I still think she embellishes or has made up some of her story.

And I can?t really watch the ones where kids are the victims.

I'm sad it?s all icky out. We were going to do M 6 month pics and family pics on Monday but it's going to be raining and nasty

 My parents are moving to California in a few weeks. I'm really worried that I will go and visit and never want to come back here. But at the same time I rather live where it?s cold and raining so I can wear a hoody almost daily

I am 11 days into being a mom, and this is HARD!  Not that I expected it to be easy, but there have been some things that I didn't anticipate while pregnant.  It really gives you a shock of reality of how much freedom you had before children.  Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying it as well, and love my daughter to pieces, but its hard.  I miss my DH already simply because we don't get the time together we used to and haven't slept in our bed together since we brought her home from the hospital.  I am looking forward to when sleeping gets easier.  I think I have cried almost once a day since bringing her home.  My DH has been so amazing with me and her that is brings tears to my eyes. 

Ok ramble over.

I bow to you.  That was an excellent response!

 

My lame confession is that I'm going back to bed right now, at 9:30am.  I've been up since 7:45am to feed the cats and make hotel reservations for the weekend.  It's way too early for someone who keeps unemployed hours.  That's all I got today.

Hang in there! The first few weeks after bringing baby home are so so hard - your hormones are all over the place, no sleep, no real routine, learning how to be a new little family... It does get better!!!  I think it was at about 4 weeks when the clouds parted over our house, the sun came out and everything seemed to click.  You're getting there.

I'm so confused about which way I go with all this IF stuff.  When I had the HSG testing he told me it looked all clear and then at our next meeting he said there looks like there could be some blockage on one side yet the dye did go through just not as quickly as the other side.  So if there is a blockage will IUI even work?  I hate it that I don't understand this stuff better and smetimes I feel like the RE just suggests crap that will cost more money.

My dad decided that he isn't coming to Jackson's First birthday. This really really really p*sses me off. It's like he has chosen his wife's family over his own (he flew to California for my step-brother's daughters FIRST birthday). Keep in mind, in the Hawaiian culture, first birthdays are HUGE - like as big as your wedding, and this is something I have expressed to him several times.

I am really trying to be the bigger person here, but I really just want to tell him to F*ck off.

My birthday is on Monday, and I want a 30th Birthday do over (since I had a 1 month-old on my actual 30th), but I have no idea what I want to do. All I know is that I want to get really drunk and not be responsible for ANYTHING!

My little cousin has 2 kids, no job, not married to her bf, on assistance and proud of it (based on FB comments). Basically she decided she wanted to start her family at 19 or 20 and didn?t think she needed to prepare or work for it. When people go off about people milking the system, they?re talking about her.

 

This week has been over the top in her bugging me:

An email on Mexicans coming here and taking all the ?good jobs? and not paying taxes and living off welfare. I wanted to respond asking how much she paid in taxes last year, but didn?t have the nerve.

 

An email about how gay marriage is destroying the institution of marriage and a post on FB about how she lost her wedding ring. I commented ?you got married??  She replied ?No, we?ve been together 7 years and don?t need the piece of paper.?   It?s not a wedding ring if there is no wedding, sweetheart.

 

A FB post about the menu for the week being not her fave because money is tight, yet she got new tattoos.

 

A FB post about a weekend at the lake on the boat and her new jet ski. 

 

 

 

I?d defriend her if I thought it wouldn?t lead to family drama.

I have the badly behaved kid when we go places. And I don't know what to do about it. We try with time outs or explaining not to hit or not to hug people that he does not know. But he still does it. Parenting is hard. Some days I wish I had the shy quiet kid not the loud outgoing one.
