My kid has become a climber. Her newest yesterday was the upholstered ottomans. I allow it to happen. She will fall and then learn to either not do it or be careful.
This is my life. My kid climbs on everything it's exhausting. If he can get a foot or hand grip on it he's climbing it. He also refuses to be strapped into anything, the carseat and stroller war I am very slowly winning. The highchair war not so much, he will not sit in the highchair, no matter what kind! I have the kind with the tray and the restaurant kind, hates both! Strapped, unstrapped doesn't matter he hates it, i think it's sitting still part he dislikes. Im thinking of getting him a booster seat..im out of ideas.
This was today, our daily breakfast fight as he tries to climb on top the table.
I stretched a 6 month supply of contact lenses to 2 years. I meant to go to the eye doctor and stock up before DS was born, but I just kept putting it off. I had to open my last lens this morning so looks like I'll be making that visit soon.
Side note: would you bring your LO to the eye doctor? Unsure FTM here.
Yeah, just put him in the stroller and be armed with snacks and toys!
My dad called me yesterday and he asked me how old I was. So I reminded him that im a 9 months younger than the length of his marriage. He said well played and proceeded to tell me that he has a new girlfriend and he that's she's my age. I guess he was expecting a bad reaction from me because it took him a long time to finally spit it out.
Honestly I don't care, I have no feelings either way about it and im pretty shocked about that. I always thought I would be upset if my dad tried to date someone my age or younger. It really had no affect on me at all. Even my husband asked me if I was sure I was ok with it. Yeah it's all good, if my daddy is happy then im happy and that's that.
Now if this trick messes with him that's a whole 'nother can of worms and i'd hate to have to wreckshop on a hoe.

Thank you wise one! I forgot about snacks. They are a lifesaver.
Better make that appointment soon so I don't end up like Sister Mary One Eye above :]
Exact same situation! The last time I got contacts was in September 2011... Err... I guess I'll call today.
I was on my way out the door yesterday morning when I noticed cat puke in the hallway. I left it and let the dog eat it later.
This is what dogs are for, right? I have three cats and one or maybe more of them have been puking every couple of days for the last month. I can't figure out who it is and don't have the time to lock each one of them up with food and litterbox to find out. Even if I did know who it was it's not in the budget right now to take them to the vet since the last time we did that (3 months ago) it was $500! And the treatment ended up just being prescription food.
I think being a social worker has made me 100% less interesting than I used to be. Grad school and my jobs have ingrained in me the importance of being "neutral", not giving "advice", not being offensive, and essentially not voicing opinions. Mostly I'm talking about in my work with direct client care BUT this has seeped over into all other areas of my life. A lot of times now I bite my tongue to keep the peace and this is the opposite of pre-social worker me, and it's boring.
I was throwing kibble for our dog yesterday while DS watched from his walker. One landed on his tray, and he immediately put it in his mouth. I let him leave it in his mouth for probably 10-15 seconds, thinking he'd spit it out and learn it wasn't good(it's dog food, and gross, right?). Nope, he actually seemed to enjoy it. I had to go in and finger sweep for it.
I think charting is kind of stupid. Particularly if you're doing it to try for baby #1 when you have no sign of fertility problems. Some people on The Bump would act like you didn't even deserve a baby if you weren't charting. Puuuuhleeeeeease.
I wasn't on in time to jump into the threads while they were active, but most of it came off (to me) as mean-spirited. If we really cared, then the appropriate thing to do would've been to send a PM say something like, "Hey, I've noticed you posting a lot worrying about things that seem inconsequential (to me). Are you doing okay?" Not a call-out thread mocking someone. Someone said that we're a family, and that you get your chops busted if you're being ridiculous. But, we know she had/has PPA - to me, it's not the same as someone being ridiculous, it's mental illness.
I'm not trying to start the discussion again or even call anyone out (hence no use of names). Just adding my $.02 that it felt wrong.
I think I'm addicted to this board, for real. I check it on mobile every "free" second I have, but that makes my free seconds extend until I'm done reading. I keep setting limits for myself like, today I will ONLY read TB while nursing, or when both kids nap... And I can NEVER stick to it. I'm seriously getting pissed at myself. This is a ridiculous problem to have.
I was closing up at work the other night and had to pee really super bad. I blame this on a few laides who shall remain nameless who got me distracted chatting on facebook and I never went to the bathroom the last two hours of my shift. Well, I work in a tiny concept mattress store in the mall with no bathroom. We usually just lock up and walk to Dillards to use theirs. Anyhoo, it was past 9 which means Dillards had already locked their doors. There are also no convenience stores anywhere that I could get to quickly on my drive home, either, since I get directly on the interstate. You see where this is going, right?
WRONG! I didn't pee myself. What I did do is take an Auntie Anne's 32 oz cup, take it into the storage closet with me, and pee all up in it. Yup. I filled it up too. Told you I had to go super really bad. Then I threw it away in the mall trash can. Looked like lemonade.
I've never spent more than $8 on an outfit for LO. I get most of his clothing from Marshall's since it's the same stuff, but cheaper. I think it's a waste to go to carters.com for example and spend a ton of money on stuff your kid is going to wear for 5 weeks.
My kid's wardrobe is comprised of new things that were gifts, hand me downs from my cousin, stuff my mom compulsively buys at secondhand stores, and stuff from Ross, Marshalls, or WalMart.
Earlier this week I was shopping at Marshalls and they don't have cart corrals in the parking lot. And I wasn't about to walk that dumb thing back inside in the rain, so I parked it in the corner of the spot. Well wouldn't you know that as I was getting Anna buckled in, it blew across the parking lot and crashed directly into someone's suv. I didn't even try to stop it. I didn't feel as bad because it hit the tire of the car, but still ... Oooops...
I am completely obsessed with Dirt Cheap! I bought 3 Jessica Simpson dresses for 4 dollars, 2 pair of shorts for 50cents and several shirts for less than 3 dollars. No rips, stains or damage. Came home, washed them and Ive had the most compliments on them! Ive lost weight and want to continue losing so I refuse to buy full priced clothes that I will out grow!

For the majority of the week I've thought a couple of people should just shut the fuq up...
I think this on the reg.
Yup.
Now that I'm not working, I feel like I'm busier than when I worked every day. Which probably means that I didn't do enough at work...
I agreed to let my H spend a certain amount of money on landscaping, which is his new hobby. I actually don't really care how the yard looks, I agreed so that I wouldn't feel guilty spending some money on myself. I'm already planning my shopping trip in my head
Also, one of my BFFs just had a baby, and I don't think its cute.
I stretched a 6 month supply of contact lenses to 2 years. I meant to go to the eye doctor and stock up before DS was born, but I just kept putting it off. I had to open my last lens this morning so looks like I'll be making that visit soon.

MH and I actually just both went to the eye doctor. He had to take her without me, put her into her stroller and she sat and watched the eye exam. The staff also helped with her, apparently babies are never out of style.
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.

What is Dirt Cheap? Do they sell used or is it like a Marshall's?
Hard to explain. Like when Hurricane Sandy happened, the stores gave dirt cheap the slighty or non damaged items. I bought a margaritaville fugi that cost 350 in store, brand new for 90 dollars!

The second half of my FFFC is that either my period cycle is longer than the last two months (26 and 25 days; this month is 29 days and counting- this is where the Bump haters would say BUT YOU SHOULD BE CHAAAARTING) or I'm pregnant. I took a pregnancy test last night (one that expires 6/2013) and it was negative but I'm not sure I believe it until I get my period. The chances are low but stranger things have been known to happen, eh?
We're TTC after June, and I'm dreading it so bad. I had a biitch of a time getting pregnant with DS, which is why we're starting sooner than we'd planned for number 2. Also I like only having one kid!
DH is going out of town next week and I've been dreaming about all the junk food I'm going to eat.
Yesterday I brought two microwavable meals to work with me because I didn't know what I'd want for lunch. Thai noodles in a peanut sauce or pepperoni pizza. My FFFC, I ended up eating both of them. But in my defense, I didn't have breakfast yesterday morning so was really hungry.
And now today I'm contemplating going next door and getting a breakfast sandwich even though I've already had oatmeal.

Emery rolled off of her changing table yesterday head first. I was looking down in the drawer grabbing a diaper when I saw her falling head first in my peripheral vision. I caught her by her foot just in time for a soft landing on the floor.
I shocked myself because it was like the scene from Mr and Mrs Smith with the wine glass, except it was a my baby.

yup totes should be charting I agree it's kinda silly but I did it for the first time this month and found it super helpful. I fact if I hadn't been temping and using OPKs we would have probably missed my fertile window completely since my body decided it didn't want to O until CD 21. Also since I'm having a longer than normal cycle I would think I was 3 days late by this point, when actually I'm not expected to start my period for several more days. It is a pain but its helpful, which is why I figured it couldn't hurt to start.
I'm trying to wean off the pump at work and forgot breast pads and just realized I leaked all over my scrub top. I have No idea how long I've been walking around w boob juice all over me

In reading the astrology sign thread above, it reminded me that Emery is a Cancer. I know not all people are true to their signs and other things obviously influence your personality also, but I'm kind of nervous about this.
My H and I are both leaders and driven and outgoing. So we communicate and operate pretty much the same way. Cancer is sensitive. I'm not sensitive. I can be very brass. I'm scared that we are really going to have a hard time with communication and she is going to hate me.
My mother and I never got along because we are complete opposites. I really dont want that to happen.

I think some people need to go back for a refresher course in Common Decency 101.
Sticks and stones break bones but words ALSO hurt. Yes, from internet strangers. Welcome to bullying, 2013 style.
I don't agree that people need to not be so sensitive or get a thicker skin. We see things on the news all the time and we call it tragic and senseless and rip the offending parties to shreds. But somehow there are different rules for ourselves...?
If what you say on the internet can honestly form friendships, a "family", and a *real* net of support it absolutely, 100% can also be a *real* way to hurt someone.

I'm really surprised that no one else said they worry about the amount of time spent on TB.... It feels even more flame worthy now. Guess I really do need to take another step back! Boo.

um, I love you. I sweat so bad at work (especially lately since the ac is flucked up) that my scrup top turns a different color....from all the wetness...it's gross. I've had to have a tech go get me a new one from or before. At least I don't have stinky sweat, but it's kinda embarrassing if its still visiting hours.
Hahaha ICU is hard work yo. Running like a crazy person and turning patients is a workout. Luckily my dept is freezing cold and I have a jacket that zips ;]
