We're lucky enough to have my parents come over to watch E while we are at work. They charge us nothing, they do things around our house to help out and they watch the dogs, too, but my mom is driving us INSANE. So much so that we would have no problem taking E to daycare instead. SO crazy that I've been having dreams about it and it causes me to talk outloud to myself. I should probably list reasons why my mom is making us crazy because I know what I'm saying sounds just flat-out silly but, just THINKING about everything makes me want to rip my hair out.
I'm going to go punch a wall now. Christ.
Sometimes "free" isn't really free. I'd spend every last cent I have for daycare rather than have MIL watch DD for free!
I am a horrible wife. I am getting so frustrated with DH not helping more with the kids. I am taking off work all the time for last minute pedi appts, up at night with DS, staying on top of daycare needs/everyday needs, medications, laundry, etc. etc. Saturday is our 6 year anniversary and I haven't done anything, not even a card and I'm not sure I will (we don't normally do gifts anymore due to budget, etc.). We have kid parties to go to both Saturday and Sunday anyway so it isn't like we could do anything if we wanted to. I'm just so tired of always being the one to schedule the babysitter, etc.
I do realize that he works, does most of the yard work, etc. I am just frustrated this week especially since he has refused to get up with DS 4 nights this week - I'V
My birthday was Tuesday and everyone, including family members wrote their happy birthdays on my Facebook wall, instead of calling or even texting. I appreciated their happy birthdays and I know they care, but it hate how it has become acceptable to communicate that way. I even caught myself returning phone messages by writing on someone's wall. I think the whole thing is rude and I don't want Louie living her life through social media. So both H and I deleted our Facebook accounts and I feel great about it. I know I will loose touch with a lot of people, but I'm ok with not knowing what that girl I had homeroom with in 10th grade is making for dinner.

I do realize that he works, does most of the yard work, etc. I am just frustrated this week especially since he has refused to get up with DS 4 nights this week so far - I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 7 1/2 MONTHS! I am weaning him and can now go all night without nursing! Ugh! I am exhausted - need to get back on my Metformin for PCOS, dealing with my usual messed up thyroid functioning, etc. I need a vacation day but I usually spend those at my own dr./dentist/eye dr appts!
I was terrified earlier this week when my job review didn't go as planned and it looked like I might be staying home full time with Sullivan. I love the kid, but those 2 days at work are. awesome. The wave of relief when they called and said they found a part time position was HUGE. Then I felt guilty, because- HELLO, I should want to be home with my child all. the. time. Unfortunately, it's not me and I should probably try to come to terms with the fact that working a little actually makes me a better, more energetic mother and eff the guilt.
I spent yesterday making pureed peas and Carrots. And tHey were deliCious. And I ate tHem by tHe Heaping spoonful. THen it dawned on me tHat tHey Contained breastmilk. My H and C keys are broken and only work Capitalized. Weird.

Thanks! I just opened a flickr account so we can share pictures and videos with family. Between that and Skype, we're good to go.
My best friend is mad at me because I won't go see the tour of So You Think You Can Dance when it comes to town in September. I'm rather shoot myself in the ass with a lawn dart than spend $50 to see something I will inevitably sleep through.

If it's just the money make her buy the ticket if she wants you do go that bad. I wouldn't want to go either though.
I'm happy that my H is now coming for part of my trip to see my family but also a little annoyed because it means less girl time I'll be able to spend with my friends.
My birthday was last Friday. We were out of town (with the ILs) and busy checking out of our hotel all morning. DH didn't tell me "happy birthday" until about 3 in the afternoon. Then the only reason his family told me "happy birthday" was because he called to remind them.
I got about 2 messages on FB.
I'm normally not too concerned about my birthday but this one really stung. We had originally planned for me to have a super-fantastic bday this year because next year (my 30th) I may be pg. So I wanted to have my "Dirty 30" a year early.
Yeah... my "Dirty 29" consisted of nobody remembering me and 6 hours driving home with a teething baby. Happy Birthday to me. So I guess that means my FFFC is that I've been throwing myself a pity party for a week.

It's not just the money....I really really really really really really really really don't want to go. I have better things to do with 3 hours on a Friday. Like watching grass grow.

I agree. I rarely go on FB and I'd love to delete it all together.
I'm seriously considering quitting the Bump. I waste sooo much time on here. And a lot of the time it's distracting me from my work - I work at home. Also, I hate swearing more than most things (yeah, yeah Heifer - boohoo) and I read so much of it on here and now I'm saying the words in my head and I hate it. I feel a little sick about it.
So yeah, you may see a GBCB from me someday soon.
You do that and I'll effing come to your house and drag you back. For realsies.

I feel really guilty about mine but I NEED to get it off my chest.
Even though I love E more than I ever could have imagined and I love watching her grow and learn, I'm really not enjoying the infant stage like I thought I would. The constant grunting and whining some days is enough to drive me insane. I don't mind crying because she usually only cries when something is wrong but it's the fussing when I have no idea what she wants. Oh, and I hate feeding purees. Sticky kid/baby hands gross me out. So when E grabs at the spoon or gets any of the food on her hand and smears it everywhere, I want to gag. I'm in serious trouble when she gets a little older.

I have a credit card, in my husbands name. No, I didn't open one, I just took over his and charged stuff for our wedding. I have since cut up the card and cancelled it, but I still have a balance of 1200 left on it. I'm pretty sure he is going to bust a nut over this one. FTR, he was aware that I charged wedding stuff on it, he just doesn't know that there is still a balance on it. He also thinks our wedding cost somewhere around 3000. Umm, we had 350 guests, the tent and tables alone cost that much.

My FFFC - yesterday I napped every time J napped. And today we hung out in bed until pretty late too. I was making up for the two days of 5hours of broken sleep from Tues and Wed, but still, it is pretty ridiculous.

I've been keeping this one a secret... I used intelligender. It was just for fun and I didn't take it seriously, but I've seen a lot of threads about it and never once admitted to using it.
If it makes any bday girls feel better, on my bday I was waking up from surgery, a nurse was using what I am convinced was her entire body weight to squeeze my freshly sliced abs and ute until my guts poured out my vag. Nobody remembered my birthday this year, myself included.

I turn 20 in a little more than a month, and I'm going on a diet. I'm aiming to lose 20 pounds. By the time I turn 20. ...I'm so lame.
I wish my birthday was in a month. I have three months till I turn 21 and then we are going on our first family vacation.
LOL, you guys make me feel old.
I'm old. I could be that poster's mom (I am turning 37 next week).
My FFFC: I have totally done the stereotypical "let myself go" after getting married and having a kid. Still have weight to lose, my attire and makeup and hair look like crap, and my homemaker skills could use serious work. I need to be nominated for What Not To Wear. A big part of my problem is not having the money to buy new stuff, but the truth is I am just not creative and motivated enough to find a work around for that (shopping thrift/consignment, couponing, etc etc). In summary: I hope I get my crap together before my LO is much older because I want her to think her mommy is pretty and not a slob.

I feel the same way. I love my kids to death, but I could do without the infant stage. I tell DH I want 1 more child, but I want the stork to drop a 1 year old on my doorstep. It would also be preferable if said child was potty trained and could self feed already.
