I know I'm a PW today but I'm putting off work!

Little Einsteins isn't as educational as Bubble Guppies.

I mean, yes, it has art and great music and problem solving... But the characters talk to you like you're an idiot. That makes me not like it.

I've been off work this week and I've not really enjoyed it...at all! Yes, I've enjoyed being able to be here with Ian and not having to work, but the rest has been pretty much HELL! We call it cousin camp...My sister comes in from out of town, my cousins kids are here...in all, there have been about 12 kids here. they've done nothing but fight and argue all week. It got so bad last night that the boys canoe trip got cancelled! Yes, that means they're all stuck here today, but I don't think they should get to do anything fun with the way they were acting. I usually enjoy this week, but this year, Sunday cannot come fast enough! I know that's terrible, but they need to hurry up and go home!

Jmccall, that is a huge bummer! I know how much you were looking forward to this week.

MrMrsandBaby

I keep lurking on other BMBs and want to post when they ask questions but am refraining because I don't want to be "that" person!

Disclaimer, I did post on a December '13 question because she is a Chicago girl!

Whoever schedules summer camps to start after work hours AND finish during work hours is an idiot. 

When I was a kid, camps started at 7:30 AM.  Now they start at 9:00.  There are FEWER stay at home moms statistically, so who in the heck do "they" think ferries these kids to and from camps??????

This week is kicking my bottom with the girls in camp 9-3.  It's worth it to see them having a total blast, but OMG it is killing me.  I get up early and work, and work at night, to make up the time.

All my statements about potty training are coming back to bite me in the a$$.  Allison is now telling us when she has to poop and bringing us a diaper when she needs a new one.  I honestly though we wouldn't even start to think about it until she was 2!  16 months old and she is about ready...damn.

I have so many SA today!  I will put them all in one because my siggy is huge.

I have no idea who that is in my siggy pic...but I like looking at him!

The toilet paper in the bathroom at work is on the wrong way and I'm tempted to go to another floor next time I need to use the bathroom.

I like washing my hands and will sometimes go to the bathroom just to do that!

It is 55* outside on June 6th.  What the heck?

I have never watched Bubble Guppies - the name annoys me so Allison has never seen it either!  She only watches stuff I can tolerate (MMCH, Princess Sofia, Jake and the NL Pirates...I'm a Disney snob).

My hair has stopped getting longer and it is bugging me!  I want it to be like 3 inches longer...but now I'm thinking of chopping it all off...stupid hair.

SA: I understand child proofing medications, but seriously... when I have a migraine, the last thing I feel like doing is fiddling with some ridiculous packaging that you practically have to use the jaws of life to get open.

Both of these were posted on FB but I'll start with them

Caroline didn't want to sleep last night.  We were up on and off from 12-3.  I finally get her to sleep and huge storms come in and the thunder is so loud the entire house was shaking.  Needless to say I'm a zombie today.

DH has a 3rd interview today.  I'm pretty sure they will offer him the job.  It has great benefits, more money, better work environment but he is scared to leave his current job.  His current job has 11 employees and the owner.  The owner is a jacka$$.  He promises them raises and they never get them, he sends ugly worded emails if they are 5 min late or leave 5 min early, his paycheck is rarely on time, and he is just a horrible boss.  DH is so stressed at his job and wants to leave but just can't take the plunge.  He has been offered 3 other jobs this year alone and he won't take them because current boss always tells him he will match the raise and he can have more time off.  None of that has happened.  Please please please DH take the job if they offer it.

DH is driving me crazy.  Everyone but DH and BM think SD has slight autism.  It's not bad but she has severe learning disabilities and really struggles in school.  She has to do special schooling during the summer to catch up to where she needs to be and she is still no at a 2nd grade level even though she should be in 3rd grade.  We have an awesome program here that you have to apply for and they will do in depth evaluations and give you tools to help kids.  It's for all kinds of learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.  SD was accepted but now DH thinks it's too much money to pay for since BM's insurance won't cover it.  It's anywhere from $1500-3000.  Yes it is a little high but it's not as high as I was thinking.  This is to help SD so she doesn't struggle all her life and drop out like her older siblings.  I think we need to skip our vacation this summer and pay for the trip but DH doesn't want to do that because he "really needs a vacation".  I just wish once he would stop stressing about money (we have enough to live comfortable but aren't rich but we aren't struggling) and help his daughter get the help she needs.

2chatter, I'm not sure why they do that but our church has VBS from 9-1 everyday for a week.  Um yeah we can totally take SD to that since we both just sit at home all day.  I wish it was in the evenings like my parents church.

Calling out your spouse on fb is incredibly disrespectful. 

I have a friend who went on a wild rant about her H this morning and got butt hurt when people said that maybe she shouldn't complain about his so publicly. He'll see it and it can be very hurtful. I get ranting to a couple close friends, or to internet strangers, but doing it on fb where you're friends with his family...bad idea.

Just did that about 5 minutes ago. Usually I'm alone in the b/r but this time there were 2 people in there. I wondered what they thought of me. haha

RE: Washing hands- I too love to wash my hands! I habitually smell the soap every time I am washing. I go to Bath and Body and rotate soaps to get different scents for my hands. I need a hobby.

I had a 'friend' who did this too. If she was not complaining brazenly about her husband, she was vaguebooking about him... or she was telling the world how wonderful her life is. I deleted her last week, and it's been so much nicer since!

I told her that if my H talked about me like that on FB my feelings would be hurt and it wouldn't be good...and guess who got incredibly defensive and has the best marriage ever, and everything is perfect...? Yeah...crazy cakes.

If ny kid doesn't take this nap soon I'm probably going to cry.

One more...

DH is now home with Allison in the mornings because he works 2nd shift.  He gets home at 11:30ish at night.  Well, Allison was sleeping until 8:00 all weekend but since Tuesday has been up before 7:00 - like normal.  I leave for work at 6:30 so he is "on" starting then.  Well, he is complaining that he isn't getting enough sleep.  I have exactly ZERO sympathy because I am still getting up overnight with her, or the dog, most nights of the week.  And I did overnights alone while working FT for 14 months.

So stop whining!

This is seriously awesome.
DH just took LO to go to the park.
I have a half hour to kill before going to school to take my last final.... And I'm sitting on the back porch blasting my headphones. A beautiful moment!

SA: I'm supposed to be studying for my boards (I take in 2.5 weeks!), but I'd rather goof off on TB and FB.

UO:  I might use a "leash" on DD at the beach.  She loves the water!!  I only got in ankle deep for me, but of course that's almost knee deep for her. She did a really good job of letting me hold her hand, but I was terrified that I might loose her hand.  If I use the "leash" I would still hold her hands.

I am at the beach now and I am seeing those leashes everywhere!  The water is still cold here so Nolan didn't want to go in to deep.  However, if it was warmer, I would totally get a leash.  It only takes a second!!!

My MIL and SIL put everything on FB.  It drives me crazy.  They have no sense!  I swear, my MIL checks in everywhere she goes.  My SIL also puts all this religious stuff up and all these things about her relationship with her husband.  I am glad we live in different states.

I've been thinking about this, but the previous post leads me to post something... I am often embarassed by the fact that I had a c-section or feel like I need to explain it.  I was overdue and hypertensive, so they induced... I ended up with a c-section because DD's heart rate was dropping into the 40s and she never dropped and I never dilated (turns out her head and neck were craned the wrong directions, she would have died without a CS).  But I know another girl who pushed for an early induction, went through 48 hours of labor only to have  c-section.  Maybe because I feel like her C-S is partly her fault (for pushing for an early induction, pre-40 weeks), but also because there is so much talk about how high the US c-section rate is... IDK, I just always feel like I need to explain why I ended up with one.

I had to have a c-section at 37 weeks because my blood pressure was really high, despite medications.  It was either be induced or have a c-section.  I didn't want to be induced, labor for hours, and end up with a c-section, so I just chose a c-section.  I get what you are saying about feeling like you need to explain having a c-section.  All that matters in the end is a healthy baby!

You shouldn't feel embarrassed about having a c/s! You had a medically indicated induction and your baby didn't tolerate labor, which could have been due both to her position and your hypertension.  I certainly didn't intend to make you feel bad about your c/s.  In my opinion, the blame for the high c/s rate belongs to physicians, not patients.

I agree with the bolded. You shouldn't feel bad, Cotterpin.

truly don't feel bad but, at the same time I get it. I had a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks, DS was breech and really twisted. I was not even a candidate for a version because of very possible complications, I also had PUPPPs. Even with all of that said I still sometimes, well always feel obligated to explain myself. But PP is right, we have healthy babies and that alone is what matters most!  

CotterpinDoozer

I know you guys are right...   And the other post didn't make me feel bad, just reminded me of my UO/SA!  You ladies are very wonderful.

Ya Never Know

I really wish the Bump would fix their issues. This whole, not being able to update the siggy thing has been going on forever. I was never affected by it until now, and it's really annoying.
