DD1 is leaning against me on the couch while watching Mickey Mouse. I should get up and clean since DD2 is sleeping but I am convincing myself that I should stay where I am at b/c DD1 needs to cuddle with me!

I'm at Starbucks for the 2nd time today.

My dog has been out of his Rx dog food for a week now. It came in this morning and they are only open until 11, I was to lazy to get dressed and go get it. I've been giving him wet food but I used the last of it this morning. I will probably just borrow a cup of dog food from my neighbor for later so he wont starve. I promise I will get his food in the morning tomorrow.

I actually have a flame worthy one... I have been microwaving bottles! I am very aware of the risks but I make doubly sure there's no hot spots. It's sooooo much faster and I'm getting lazier. Surprise

I already said mine yesterday, but I'll address it again. With a picture.

The term "lady bits" makes me want to vom. Ick!

After a bad argument with my DH, I sometimes fantasize about what it be like to get divorced, including determining custody of our son. Things aren't bad between us, but an angry brain imagines things you wouldn't really do. It forces you think of all the complications and makes you want to work harder to make things better before you get to that point.

I think this is normal.

Though speaking from experience the reality is far far worse than you can imagine.

you guys heat up bottles? i just run some tap water in it when i make a bottle. usually it's cold. she doesn't seem to care. FFFC?

Believe me, I WISH they would take it cold!! Someone gave me advice to never warm their bottles, so in the beginning I didn't! They took cold bottles when they were newborns, then one day they refused bottles and took it once it was warmed up!

I stopped heating up her bottles about a month ago. She doesn't mind one bit.

When E wakes up before 3am, I go in his room, pat him a couple times, turn his CD player on, and go back to bed. It's usually 50/50 on whether or not he'll continue screaming. My FFFC is that on more than one occasion this week after doing this, I've turned off the monitor so DH and I don't have to listen to him scream. His room is on the other side of the house, so I can't hear him otherwise. And on more than one occasion I've fallen asleep without turning it back on, when usually I wait 5 or 10 minutes and then turn it back on. Oops.

AnotherPreggo · June 2013

I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow and am regifting some uber-girly clothes that I never used for DD. There is absolutely no need for a baby to wear a tu-tu, sorry. I don't think this girl knows me well enough to know that I would never buy something like this, win win.

I am doing everything for DH for Father's Day that I wish he'd done for me for Mother's Day. I'm hoping it will make him feel even a little bit guilty for not doing anything for me.

This 100%. He gave me a very nice card that made me cry (it was a wonderful wife/mother type card) and he NEVER buys cards. But...that was it. He mentioned he didn't bother doing anything but never made up for it.

Makes me feel greedy, but I think I deserved something...I'm just glad no one asked me what he did for me for Mother's Day because I would've felt bad and made him sound bad for doing zip.

Cbeanz · June 2013

I largely regret refusing bridal and baby showers. I felt too ashamed to accept gifts from people and believed we didn't need "stuff." Turns out stuff is nice to have and I feel like we missed out on some parties and memories. Boo.

I would've loved a tutu :-)

Not a thing. I thought he had paid for my tattoo but it turns out that he took money out of our savings acct for me to get it.

He did go for the tubes procedure but he must have asked 5 different people how long we were gonna be there because he wanted to come home and cut the grass.

jessilynnwilliams · June 2013

I haven't used any of the baby powder or baby shampoo we got at our shower on Clara...I've used it all. Baby powder makes good dry shampoo! LOL

I love to read teen and young adult books. I will occasionally read adult books, but usually I read preteen and teen books.

Mrs_Lady · June 2013

I generally don't warm up his bottles only last one of the day...I think we stopped somewhere around 4 mo mark...shame on us!

it's 335pm and I want to brew a cup of coffee..hmm I think I am..

lady dixneuf · June 2013

I've had A LOT of coffee today.

Like 1000mg of caffeine a lot.

(in my defense, I am exhausted and have a long day)

morrkim · June 2013

H got me a necklace for Mother's Day, but I was upset because I didn't get to really enjoy it and I didn't get a single picture of me with Alexis, because it was his brothers high school graduation and the whole focus was on him and hardly any on the fact it was my first Mother's Day. I did really enjoy the necklace. I just wish I could have gotten some more attention.

I would've loved a card. I didn't get anything, either. He played two soccer games. We went out to lunch that day, but I had to pick where and we would've gone out to eat anyway due to the soccer games. Another FFFC? I felt so sad that I went online and spent more money than I should have buying myself jewelry for Mother's Day since I didn't get anything. I got him a card from me, one from the baby, did one of those photo shoots with the letters to spell dad, bought him an anthology of one of his favorite newspaper comics which happens to be Baby Blues, and when LO wakes up from her nap we are going downtown to get a pint of ice cream from his favorite ice cream place.

You are too nice.

I also have a H that usually does nothing. He thinks cards are a waste and generally never buys them for anyone. However, this Mothers Day he did, and he wrote me a really nice message in it, and had DS1 write some scribbles in it to "sign it" and wrote DS2's name too. We always go out to eat for special occasions, so we did that too. That's all I ever really need. Even though DH doesn't do cards really, I still get them for him- one from me and one from the boys. We'll go out to dinner for Fathers Day as well, but I don't get him any gifts or anything else. I thought about making him these lemon frosted sugar cookies that he loved the last time I made them, but I don't really consider that much of a gift either since I do that every once in awhile anyway (or when he asks me nicely )

I hate email. I hate the obligation of responding to emails, I hate spam emails, I hate bill paying reminder emails. I hate tasks, new jobs in emails. I hate newsfeeds and listserv postings. I hate email debates. I hate it all.
My job requires me to check and respond to email all day long. My level of responsibility means I need to check it even when on vacation. I want a new line of work that does not involve email. My dream job is simple: NO EMAIL.
F$#@ email, basically.

hugs!! part of what I do since i only work part and its all wfh!

this whole working mom of an infant thing is the hardest thing I have ever done. It's exhausting.

...... Runs into thread late.......

I think being a picky adult eater is ridiculous. Sure we all have our foibles. But if you're an adult who doesn't eat vegetables? Really???

cardiganmom · June 2013

We're moving next weekend and I have yet to pack a box. Wait, I did pack up the winter coats lol. I think it's more of a denial thing for me. I haven't actually accepted the fact that were really moving. My husband on the other hand has packed half of our stuff. The confession? I don't really feel that bad. I'm busy bumping, playing candy crush and playing with the baby of course. And I'm not stressed at all, this Zoloft is really helping my anxiety

ITA! I have friends that I've invited over for dinner and they actually have the balls to ask what I'm making and have actually denied my invitation after finding out what I'm making! And I wasn't anything crazy either, a normal meal that any adult would eat.

pinitbaby · June 2013

My exh wants to have our 11yr old daughter for half the summer and I said no

might sounds harsh but his girlfriend is a twat to say in the least. She's only 10yrs older than our 14yr old son and she's immature like whoa. I've had to make the 3.5hr drive 4 times this past year to go get my kids because she can't handle their dad spending time with them. I'm sick of my kids being hurt by her AND him. My daughter is upset but I'd rather her be mad at me then have to look at the tears those idiots cause her to shed. She'll thank me when she's older.
Oh, and I can't stand fake biches. Never forget where you come from and who you are. Don't adjust yourself to be accepted by others..jus sayin.

hamiltks10 · June 2013

My DH is usually very thoughtful. But he didn't really do anything for Mother's Day either. He made the bed and then made breakfast...after I had to run to the grocery store to get eggs since we were out. Then he left for the day to play golf and have lunch with his mother.

I think what was disappointing was that I tried to get my own mother to do something...have lunch, whatever. but she gave me a lame half a$$ excuse about why she was busy. Oh well, at least I got to spend the day with my little guy.

My FFC....I think when you are a guest at someone's house, you should be there to relax and have fun. I hate it when people put you to work. If I invite people over, I never expect them to do my dishes or clean up the house. Or rake the leaves. I am the host and I will do that. So I rarely offer help when people invite us over. If I do, it is a half hearted "can I help with anything".
