* i'm ready to shut down my Etsy Team... no one is participating, contributing or even checking the boards, and i feel like i'm doing all the work for nothing... not worth it anymore... even for "friends"
* MIL keeps telling me to call if i need someone to help out w/ DD or if i need a break, but when i call she comes and tells me "i can't stay long i have plans" WTF...
* somewhere in the world SAHM's need sick days... seriously...
* my mother is an exagerating, lying, attention seeking worthless person... and i'm finally at the end of my rope.
can you tell i've had a bad day?

* Crazy, what do you mean: " i'm sad at what the pl board has turned into"?
* I went to a local new moms group for the 1st time today & I felt like I was the weird outsider that no one liked. It was like middle school all over again.
* I'll probably go back next week b/c it's the only *free* thing I can do w/Evie to meet other moms. And if I don't start getting out more I'm gonna' lose my mind.
*I don't know why SD keeps wetting herself and why she seems to think its alright.
*I feel bad about it but I can't wait for her to go back to her moms so I can have some time with Indy without having to worry about another person or cleaning up pee from where she was sitting/standing plus not having to deal with her mother will be a godsend
* Ive been looking at apartments online..I think I might move down south while H is deployed
*DH is stressing me out about him leaving town and me being alone with DS for a week. I can't think about that now. I am just getting my self in one piece.
The lactation consultant called tonight to check on me and I didn't answer because I am transitioning to formula and I don't want her to make me feel bad. She was so nice, but I have enough guilt with my decision as it is.
* a waiter sniffed my baby's new baby smell last night at the diner and it freaked me out. I think he only came to the table to see if my boob was still out from nursing dd
Jenn, don't feel guilty! You're deciding to do what is ultimately best & that's FEED your baby. It really doesn't matter where the milk comes from as long as it helps your LO get bigger & stronger & healthier. And once you relax & DC starts eating better, etc. you'll both enjoy that time together & be able to bond.
Thanks, Melsie! I probably could find similar groups in Manhattan, but the one from today is literally just a few blocks away. When DD is older, we're going to do swim classes with her, so that's something to look forward to, but it won't be until the spring. There's a long, cold, lonely winter ahead of me in the meantime.
* I am a Mom's Club Dropout. It made me want to scream/run/hide. It takes a while to find the right niche-still doing it now.
* I miss a lot of people on SAL, but can't wait to see them here! I hope this board flies for that reason, and for all of us. I started to feel lost on SAL, as I have no "pregnancy" issues, except that I can't carry...
* The ML girls who trotted over to PL were lurkers with their own losses. And for that I am sorry. They came out of the corner swinging, and I don't think that was fair. That drama was scary over there the past couple days. Hopefully, it dies down. This is probably the 3rd time there has been so much discussion of a siggy.
* Going to lake house, then in laws for T-Day week. Good, but my FIL is a kindly old man who cooks very well, but likes to cook kind of strange things for holidays. One year he did Salmon. I can just see my kids now--"ewww." And Isa with her "Isa no LIKE". I may demand a Turkey with trimmings on principle...
Re: ***confessions***

Christine:
((hugs)) it gets easier as you get into it... are there any other local groups (for moms) that you can look into?

what happened with the PL board?
The lactation consultant called tonight to check on me and I didn't answer because I am transitioning to formula and I don't want her to make me feel bad. She was so nice, but I have enough guilt with my decision as it is.
* a waiter sniffed my baby's new baby smell last night at the diner and it freaked me out. I think he only came to the table to see if my boob was still out from nursing dd
to me that's the equivalent of belly rubbing?

* Avery is sleeping in her PNP on her stomach right now. I keep checking to see if she's still breathing - she is.
* Sometimes I wish that I could offer advice/help to the SAL'ers about labor but I have never had a contraction - I have no idea
