Anytime theres a phone call to be made about anything important, I make my husband do it. Even though he's at work all day and im sitting here on my assss. I can't deal with customer service people, half of them I can't understand and I end up being totally snarky and loosing my cool most of the time.
Funny part is he's the one with temper issues and ptsd but he handles phone calls better than I do.
My son is coming home tomorrow for about a week until he leaves to go see his dad for the summer. I am already anxious about him being home. Everything has been so calm since he's been gone. The baby is even sleeping through the night like 12 hours! I attribute that to not having a teenager sneak out and rummage through the house waking up the baby.
So now im just trying to be chill about him being home, I keep telling myself it's only a week. I guess my fffc is I can't wait for him to go live with my dad so that our home is peaceful again.
I sent my boss yesterday several requests for time off and told her it was all I knew about between now and the end of the year. Except for the fact that she doesn't know about me being pregnant yet and I will be starting Mat leave in December. I wanted to get my time off approved first before I tell her.
Sadie woke up while I'm getting ready so I sat down on the toilet real quick so H had to wake up and get her. I told him I'm pooping. She hates being changed so I'm waiting until they're done to come out.
I will usually go in the bathroom and tell my H that I'm painting my nails and they're still wet so he'll have to get Graham. That's usually gives me at least 30 mins
i don't even remember the last time I cleaned initial spit up off my floor because the dogs have been doing it for me for so long.
And I cleaned my oven for the first time yesterday after living in our house for the past year and a half. I'm beginning to feel like the mom in Bubbajug's post...

Dude.... oven cleaning is definitely _not_ required in the general keeping a non-filthy house.
Unless I'm waaaay off base in which case none of you are invited over ever, sorry.
My husband talked to his mom finally last night and all he did was beat around the bush about the way "WE" feel about her bullshit. I want to just get it all out on the table before I explode but im waiting to see if she comes to Frankies' bday party. If she backs out..I WILL UNLEASH THE BEAST on her. I've already told my husband I can't be accountable for the words that will come out of my mouth because the mess has been building up for to damn long.

Um, yeah... We've lived in our house for almost 4 years now and I've never cleaned the oven. Add mine to the list of houses you'll never want to visit!
My grandma cleaned ours for the first time ever in November. I avoided it because I hate the smell of oven cleaner but I found a lot of natural, baking soda options on Pinterest that are quick and easy.
I haven't cleaned my oven in so long everytime I bake..the kitchen smells like burnt cheese from homemade pizza we made at least 2 years ago.
I really dislike the December 2013 board. Too many crazies. Some chick posted an unpopular opinion about crying over running over a raccoon, then they hit a cat a few minutes later. She didn't feel bad at all, didn't check on it, nothing...because "cats are evil."

Damn was she driving through a zoo? How the hell do you hit a cat and a raccoon within a few minutes.

Yeah, same here - I've NEVER cleaned my oven in the 3 years I've lived here. I think I'll do it today - this is making me feel like I'm disgusting!

Ha, y'all are making me feel better about it. The only reason I cleaned it this time was because I dropped half a pizza down in there and every time I cooked it would start smoking pretty bad lol
On the days that I am home, one of the favorites parts of the day is K's morning nap, when I can sit with my cup of coffee in the recliner, by myself. I count down the minutes until this time.
The morning nap is the best! I get time to catch up with my girlfriends
#1: I have been napping every single day when R does. That "sleep when the baby sleeps" rule applies when they are 11 months old, right?!
#2: I've been needing naps because in the last week, I've stayed up late drinking wine and watching all 22 available episodes of Scandal on my ipad. I'm supposed to be doing stuff for my online grad school classes during R's naps because we don't have daycare this summer. Thank god I finished the latest episode last night!
Gahhh! Definitely not the same kind of mom. I'm sure of it! I've never cleaned my oven myself, I always just hit the self clean and by "always" I mean I've done it twice. I'm also too lazy to clean the shower/tub like a normal person so I keep the stuff in there and clean it while I'm in the shower... How's that for lazy!?!
I feel damned if I do, damned if I don't quite often.
I liked working, but when I worked I felt guilty about not spending the day with LO. Now that I SAH, I feel guilty for wanting to work. Its not that I don't enjoy time with the baby--I really do!--I just need something else in my life, too.
I know WMs would do anything to see their LOs all day (in many cases) so I feel like a whiny brat about it.
I'm right there with you. Everyday is a struggle do i go back to work, do i stay home. Makes me feel like a selfish brat.
I havent left the house since Monday. Only reason Im leaving today is free donut day and DQ just opened in my town and I want a blizzard for lunch. Fatassss.

Also, my cat went missing yesterday and we're due to leave on vacation in an hour. I'm in pajamas outside calling like a crazy person, and not ready to leave at all..in fact, I'm so irrational, I would actually be willing to delay our trip [we're driving but do have commitments] in order to continue the unfruitful search for my cat. My H does not think I am thinking rationally, and although I agree, I will never admit it to him.
ETA: My last half hour of irrationality paid off, my cat just came strolling up like "hey mom, where's my food woman, I hear you shaking it!" 24 hours of being missing was not a good time!
I am SO glad you found him!! I was worried for him last night after your coyote comment! Now you can actually enjoy your vacation.
It depressed me when MH and I weighted ourselves this week and he had lost 15 lbs... and I had gained it. WTF?! So I was all prepared to exercise last night, got dressed, got the DVD out, and couldn't find the chord to plug in the PS3 remote, which was dead. I searched all over for it and it was gone. So I decided I was going to watch TV and drink a hard cider. Yeah, like that's going to help the weight problem, but it's what happened.
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.
Also, I'm so glad to be pregnant again because I was getting fat and none of my clothes fit well. Now I have an excuse for it annnnd don't have to suck in my stomach and people will tell me I look great.
This is one of the only reasons I miss being pregnant!

My husband talked to his mom finally last night and all he did was beat around the bush about the way "WE" feel about her bullshit.nbsp; I want to just get it all out on the table before I explode but im waiting to see if she comes to Frankies' bday party.

Want me to send mike over? He'll even call his very own absent grandma an old bag to drive the point home lol! And Emery and I can be in the background with our judging eyes.

No your husband creeps me out! LOL Kidding! I need something because once I get pisssed there's no telling what crap will fly out of my mouth. Which is why I have avoided talking to her.
So I've posted before that the "is my kid behind?" posts drive me absolutely batty because like 99+% of the time they're asking about milestones that the kid hasn't even passed the middle of the normal range for.
My FFFC - Despite this, I'm starting to have minor worries about Elissa's lack of words.
I was letting Emery play with my empty beer bottle yesterday and taking a picture because I thought it was funny. Well when I took it away and picked her up she totes had beer breath. I'm hoping it was just a taste from the rim and not a little swig!

I wish my brother and SIL would get a divorce and be done with it already. We are on vacation and they've fought every day. They let their kid stay up late while they "talk things out" (read: SIL rants at my brother while he just kind of takes it like a weenie). The earliest my nephew has been to bed is 9 PM, but most nights it's been at least midnight. The latest was 1:30 AM!!!! Are you kidding? Then they never give him naps and SIL gets all angry with him when he's overtired and throws fits.
I wish my brother would retrieve his balls from her clutches and smack her in the face with them.
1. I've lost 90 pounds and am finally in a healthy weight range for the first time in over 5 years but I still feel like I look like such a fatasssss. Come on brain, catch up!
2. H is on vacation all next week, which is awesome. But I just realized him being home will give me so much less bump time and I admittedly feel bummed about that.

DH actually gave Camden a sip of his beer because they kid was going BSC over it and he thought after he tasted it he would stop! It was a very small taste and of course Camden LOVED it and screamed like a banshee when DH put it away!

wordS? Emily sort of says cat, and it usually sounds more like tat. That's it. No mama no dada, barely waves, won't clap anymore. I figure shell get it all eventually, but sometimes I feel like I have the slow kid, her not being mobile doesn't help either.
I've found that Charlie stops doing things sometimes when she's working on another skill, so I wouldn't let that worry you. And then all of a sudden, bam! New skill and the old ones come back too.
And words? We have random babbling and everyone is convinced they heard something in there, but I'm not convinced. If they have, she hasn't done it again so I don't recognize it.
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.
It worries me when we hit midway through the month and still have money in our checking account. Like, over $50 freaks me out because I'm convinced I forgot to pay a bill. And that sounds horrible.

I plan on counting calories next week so I'm using that as an excuse to eat poorly.
I am becoming more and more of a hermit. Often times the only socializing I do is on TB or FB with my girlfrands. I don't even like answering the phone or texting people. I don't like making eye contact when I take Kendall on walks. I have started to become very anxious just making phone calls.
I use nap time to sit around. Yesterday, I ignored Kendall a lot of the day because I was mad at her for waking me up so many times the night before.
I can sympathize with this. I hate talking on the phone just to talk, to many akward pauses and I got's other shiit to do. The hermit thing is me because im super picky about who I make close friends with, there's like a 10 step process I sware and it's not intentional I just dont like a lot of people.
I drive DD around every morning after our walk so she can nap. Everyday. I am getting to the point that I don't even want to help her to nap because she fights it unless we're driving. I am about to lose my sh!t because I never have alone time. Because in the afternoon I rock her for her nap. I love DD but I miss hanging out with myself.
Our washer is broken so I have Lola in disposables. I have to confess its been nice to not do diaper laundry. And I don't feel guilty about filling landfills with sposies. CDing isn't hard but I'm enjoying the break.

I am getting slightly worried too as Ayden doesn't really talk much at all. He is older than your daughter too. well actually.... developmentally he is supposed to be compared to a child 5 weeks younger.
I think because i am in the field, Early Intervention scares the shiz out of me. But i know it might only be short-term and can really help catch the kids up fast.

Elissa has now slept through the night 3 nights in a row.
I'm not telling TheBoy because it's more useful for me if he believes I'm getting up each night around 2-3am still.
(And by mentioning this here, I've jinxed it anyway, so I'm sure it will change.)
I confess that I don't care if Tucker does any firsts at the babysitters or with my mom or MIL. Its so NBD to me; but, I'm weird, so there's that.
