I love being a SAHM, but I dread the days when DH works until 8:30 and I have nothing to do with DD. I feel like a terrible mom when I am at a complete loss for how to entertain her all day by myself. I try to plan stuff for us to do, but some days it is just me and her at home all day alone. I hate feeling so isolated.
Also, I have been giving her 2% milk because she refused WCM, but took to the 2%. So I am sticking with it.
I want to be a SAHM. I am in limbo waiting for DH to get a full time law-enforcement job which would allow for me to stay home, on average this takes 3 years. I hate my job, I have the opportunity to advance into a job I would love, but it would mean 10 hour+ days and I am just not willing to be away from my baby that long. So, in protest, I spend most of my day on the internet. I browse pinterest, TB and facebook all day. My boss doesnt notice. He even pulled me in his office to tell me what a great job i'm doing.
My daughter wasn't feeling well this week. She was running a 101 fever, and was lethargic.
I took her out for a birthday lunch/cocktails for her godmother. I knew she wasn't feeling well, but I figured I'd hold her at home or I'd hold her at a restaurant.
She was miserable, ended up having an ulcer in her mouth and I gave her a french fry and a piece of pineapple. (obviously I didn't know about the canker sore).

I hate long days home alone with my daughter. I end up taking her out somewhere. I visit random relatives, hit up the mall, or go to the park just to get into a different environment. Otherwise, I feel isolated and trapped.
I give my daughter 2% because that's what we buy. I'm mixing it with formula or giving her full sippys of it.
I'm starting my first job as a Physician Assistant in a couple of weeks and I am sooooo nervous. There is so much responsibility and although I have learned a lot, I feel like I know nothing, because there is just so much to know.

I'm with you. I'm a physician in my first week of residency orientation, and I've felt Ike throwing up half the time this whole week.
Somewhat related to my confession... I have almost $200k in student debt, and I wish I could stay at home at least part time. I hate leaving my girl.

My year maternity leave is nearly up and although I absolutely Love being home with Luke I also feel like swimiz that I'm at a loss sometimes with what to do to entertain him. We just had a visit with his home daycare provider to be this morning and he had such a great time with her and the other kids. He's now worn out and napping like a champion. My confession is that even though it breaks my heart to have to leave him to go back to work part of me feels like he'll actually be better off with Anita (DCP) and the other toddlers. She's a mother and grandmother and is absolutely amazing with kids. And after being there today and seeing how she teaches and interacts with them I kinda feel like she's way better at this kid thing than I am ugh being a mom is wonderful but soo not easy

Glad I am not alone! I do the random relative thing too- I swear, I see my family about ten times more now that I did before Lena was born.

Total mom FAIL, and many levels.

I spend more time goofing off than actually working at work.
I have not done one thing for LOs 1st bday.
I rarely check TB anymore.
I think HP is way better that HG anyday at that swimiz needs to read HP and agree with me.
I think it's BS how SAHMs judge each other. If I want to sit around in yoga pants all day and not wear a bra, who are you to say I'm wrong?
I think I'm just over the general judginess of TB in general. I try to stay even keel and go with the flow but lately I am just grumpy and b!tchy.
I may read them, but nothing will ever beat HG in my mind
My pedi said this was fine!

I am glad to hear this! My pedi is super conservative, and I know she won't like it, but she will have to deal
