I'm around! It's a lot harder to find time with dh home. We've been busy, hopefully next week it'll slow down more and ill be able to post more often.

Both of my kids ate sweet BBQ sun chips for breakfast.

I let LO play with a box of tampons the other night. She was fussy and I was trying to get stuff done. She loved taking them in and out of the box.

I let cooper eat her animal crackers off the kitchenfloor yesterday and it wasn't the first time

We had Olivia's 15 month pedi appointment on Wednesday and I lied and told him that Olivia was totally off of formula. She's not. She still gets a formula bottle before bed and early in the morning. It makes her happy and she falls right to sleep after both. Basically, DH and I are being lazy. I know we need to transition soon.

@reinedecajun Ow ow! So jealous of your sex life! DH and I are on a once per week kick because I feel like crap. He complains constantly.

britbratjf · September 2013

@DHeckart I think usually a food allergy rash would present itself much sooner so if he had it for breakfast then the rash didn't show up until night I doubt it's from the French toast

Hi. My name is Lewispm, I'm from Alabama, and I hate football.

SallySunrise · September 2013

I'm doing a kick ass job keeping this house in show ready condition. I am SHOCKED that it's not half as hard as I expected. It's a lot of work, I won't call it easy, but I thought it would be completely impossible. My house has looked incredible for over week now! The confession part... I'm making MH think it's the hardest thing I've done in my life, ever. I don't want him to expect this all the time, and I'm afraid if he knew how much easier it is than I was expecting, he would!

SallySunrise · September 2013

Thought of one more. I edit my posts frequently and very rarely add an "ETA" note. Are we really supposed to let each other know that we've fixed our own spelling errors, or clarified our wording? I don't understand why. It's my post, if I type "an" instead of "and" I don't think I owe y'all an explanation for fixing that.

nicolepatricia87 · September 2013

Yesterday afternoon I went to a consigent sale while DH watched Brayden. I noticed he was poopy while I was telling him bye but didn't say anything bc I knew my H would expect me to change him. Surprise dada!

I've been worried since the beginning about Eleanor being smart... She says words, she knows where her cup is, she hugs stuffed animals but I felt like she was going go just be off the charts ahead of the curve everything... Rational Ashleigh knows this is not a problem, that she is perfect and that I just need to chillax... But crazy anxiety ridden Ashleigh just ordered a million dollars worth of toddler development/activity/lesson planning books off of Amazon

lewispm · September 2013

@almrkp11 and @bethandben yes, I hate football! I hate how everyone obsesses over it. I hate how suddenly everyone starts wearing stupid jerseys and Tshirts to work and its ok all of a sudden. I hate how much of MH's time is wasted away in front of the TV ALL freakin weekend. I hate ESPN. I hate fantasy football. Hate.
The ONLY thing good about football season is that MH feels guilty about the time spent watching football and does whatever I want him to when there's not a game on. Insert evil laugh.

GAH! Yes, thank you! It drives me nuts when I see "ETA". Unless there is something super heated going on with lots of quoting and "she said XYZ!!" there is no point to detail why you had to edit a post.

DeniseRN · September 2013

I loathe football season. Everyone on my FB becomes the most obnoxious UF fan. The UF fans all wear their UF clothes and say "go gators!" In passing. Then they all worship Tim Tebow and talk about how amazing of a person he is blah blah blah.

I also hate football season bc my h plays fantasy football and must obsess over it for 3 months.

reinedecajun · September 2013

I'm waiting for my friend to arrive at the park so I can do there family pics. I'm sitting here in the van waiting taking test shots, I'm pretty sure this mom just thought I was some sort of pedifile eyeing her kid. Awkward

I have another one. One of my old boyfriends passed away suddenly in January. I hadn't seen him for years and he was a horrible bf who cheated on me who knows how many times. But yet I think about him almost daily and miss him like crazy. Funny how one's perspective on someone changes when they're gone forever.

I'm sorry

I understand what you are going through. My ex husband killed himself a couple years ago and I go through rough times with it still. It was his birthday a couple days ago so I was talking with his mom and now I'm having a hard time again.

My confession: I have no tootsie photos of Drake.

Get to taking them lady!

Also, I let Charlie play with a box of tampons the other day because it entertained her. And then she got into the pancake mix box, and I took the box but let her play with the stuff on the floor she'd already spilled. It didn't hurt her in any way and she was immeasurably entertained for at least 5 minutes.

@zpanjwani send generic rather than none at all. I'd much rather get a late generic "thanks for your generous gift" card than nothing.

Yes, this! I actually had the exact same thing happen. I eventually did find my list (stolen by the preschooler) but was going to go the route of "Thank you so much for attending my party! I had so much fun getting to see you!" You can mention "also, thanks so much for the lovely present" but tilt it more to the side of thanking them for coming and celebrating.

That was my rationale! And it wasn't hive like. Just fine light red bumps. Thanks for the support Edited due to spelling errors

@DHeckart That sounds like the rash my LO's got last week. It was all over their body. Pedi said it was from a virus. Since your LO has had a cold, that could be it.

potatoe6 · September 2013

I'm at work and thinking of leaving soon saying I'm sick (which is true). But the real reason I want to leave is so I can go home to take a nap and get rested, to go to the fair tonight.

Maybe you should hurry and cancel your first purchase, order order "Einstein Never Used Flashcards" instead, and go play and giggle at the park with your kid. These are precious toddler years, and we should spend them loving our kids, playing and laughing with them, and enjoying every moment instead of worrying they won't reach a certain milestone at the exact number of months they "should" according to some average calculated using hundreds or thousands of different toddlers. Our mothers never worried about developmental activities with us, or lesson planning books, and we turned out just fine

I'm sad i missed or was left out of the lada gift collection post, i would absolutely have contributed.

Me too. I'm assuming it was on fb? I haven't friended any bumpies on there, so I just figured it happened there and that's how I missed it. I need to suck it up and friend people; most of you know my real name by this point anyway.

lewispm · September 2013

This is more of a good confession than a bad one, but I am totally in a great place right now and feeling awesome. I have gotten into a really good routine/groove with LO and now that he has started MDO, I have a few hours on Friday (we pay for 3 days a week and I only need 2 because my mom takes him Thursdays while I work) when I can drop him off for some "me" time. I have been doing much better keeping the house clean and cooking actual meals and I have even found time to sew again the past week or 2. I feel refreshed, less stressed than I have in over a year (maybe even 2), and just all around great. I hope it lasts!!

Maybe not a great confession but...I need a break. From everything. I feel like all I deal with all day whether I'm home or at work is complaining and whining (and now that's what I'm doing). Whether it's Henry or my SO whining at home or an employee/manager whining at work I can't take it anymore. It's like I never get a break. My SO is going to school right now and he has been picking up shifts at the hospital at night. The classes he has are just a few pre-requisites and he doesn't have much to do for them. Yet he is acting like he's the first person ever to have to work and go to school and he's not even working full time. The days he's not working he sleeps until god knows when and says he's studying and he doesn't even have Henry because we have coverage for him during the week....yet he's soooo stressed out. I haven't slept in or had a day to just myself since Henry was born and now I have to listen to his BS when he gets plenty of time for himself. I swear I'm am finding it harder and harder to be in the same room as him.

I am sorry I know exactly how you are feeling. The 3 months that MH was studying for the bar exam, he would do the same. He would lock himself in the bedroom all day every day (however he also worked part time) and claimed to be "studying". I know for a FACT that he was not studying the whole time. I would get so frustrated! He would sleep in, go out for lunch/dinner/drinks with friends who were also studying for the exam and claim that it was not fun when he got back (bull crap!). All this while I stayed home taking care of K while working PT and doing all the cooking and cleaning and pretty much everything on my own, and usually falling asleep alone in my bed as well. And then he would have the nerve to talk about how stressed he was, but I wasn't allowed to. I had to be all supportive and crap

So although I know your situation sucks and I honestly don't have much advice (I just sucked it up for a few months since my situation had a foreseeable end) But I just want to let you know you are not alone, and, while your SO is being quite a douche, he is not the only douche on the planet, if that makes it sting a little less.

Hugs!!

Our mothers never worried about developmental activities with us, or lesson planning books, and we turned out just fine

Seeing all of the pics and things on FB I think Eleanor gets PLENTY of fun activities outside. I don't see anything wrong with learning books, etc. I didn't read her post as this is all she's going to do! Maybe our parents didn't do all of that with us, but the technology also wasn't there for them TO do it with us! I'm actually jealous of all the things that they do with Eleanor and feel guilty that we have been so busy this past month that we haven't gotten to do alot of outside things with Elise.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean at all to give the impression that I thought Eleanor wasn't having enough outdoor time, or quality time with her parents. I'm sure she's very happy and very very very loved. I just meant that we have to stop letting the media and society stress us out about our children's development. The women on here are all amazing parents, and our children are going to be just fine. I just think we need to play more (even if we're already playing A LOT) and worry less.

I understand! I love all sports, so I do not mind watching it. But I am not one who obsesses over it. I think people do go over board and it's ridiculous. I haven't even been to an Auburn game since I graduated over 5 years ago.

SallySunrise · September 2013

@andreab7412.. It did sound a little snarky. No one said they were upset with anyone for not including us or whatever; just bummed that we didn't get to participate. Obviously if we aren't in a specific group, we won't get to do certain things. That's logical and we know that. Just wish we could have given to lada, that's all.

@summergirl1211 I'll PM you when I can get to the laptop. Idk how to do it on mobile. Thanks!

Pandril19 · September 2013

@Laurski81 - Hugs. I don't have much concrete advice to offer, but you're not alone. I'm also feeling desperately in need of a break of some sort.

TheBoy has a real job now and I know that's a change for him. He's working harder and longer hours than he ever has before. So I know it's harder for him to pick up more stuff around the house. But he wasn't doing the stuff at home before and he's not now. It's not like him working has made me somehow magically more able to do both work and home. I'm exhausted.

On another note - TheBoy and I got our groove back... only for my body to mysteriously decide that my cycle should randomly go haywire. Argh!!!

nesenotes · September 2013

I got a huge twang or urge for a baby when me and emery were at the park the other day. The poor girl kept going up to kids and saying Hiiiii but they would ignore her. They were all there with their siblings and playing with them and emery had no one

But then I asked my h for help with something and he said no and it killed it.

SallySunrise · September 2013

@andreab7412 I get what you're saying. I just don't at all mean to take away from the awesome thing you gals did by saying I wish I could have participated. I wish I could have participated BECAUSE it was so awesome!

That makes me sad, poor girl.

And mean kids for ignoring another little kid talking to them! She's probably better off without them, they sound like snots.

There is a slight (or very good) chance that I may be KTFU but probably too early to tell. I'm excited but I'm also chugging caffine like it's my job until I know for sure because I know that I will have to cut back....and I'm slightly terrified on how I'm going to function without my daily huge dose of it for 9mos lol! I may be procrastinating POS because of this reason too

Me too

I have been drinking 4-5 Diet Mountain Dew's per day!

Pandril19 · September 2013

@lewispm - That's awesome and I don't even think should think of it as a "confessesion" at all. It's brilliant and good for you!

Pandril19 · September 2013

@cbear2010, @almrkp11, @Bliz1712 - Isn't there a rule that you're only allowed to worry about caffeine with your first kid? After that you know that caffeine is probably going to be the least of the "dumb" things you and they will do, and Momma needs to function.

If there's not, there should be.

nesenotes · September 2013

I don't know what pregnancy did to my ute and hormones but I swear every damn month I feel like an alien takes over my brain when I PMS. I get so angry so quickly and then can cry seconds later. And my H gets it bad because he's the only other adult around. I think at one point last night I told him to turn back around in the bed because his face was too close to mine. I'm a real catch people!

This happens to Olivia all.the.time. She's so social and friendly and gets very disappointed when people ignore her. The worst is when adults do it. Just say hi to my freaking kid! Anyways, Emery can come over and play in my mad house next year. I'll have three lady babies and lots of hi's to share.

I don't understand the new "pretzel bun" obsession that restaurants have now with burgers and stuff. I just don't get it. Is it that good? It sounds nasty.

They are pretty yummy

I wouldn't want them with every burger but every once in a while its a nice change.

A couple nights ago Matthew had a rough couple hours. He was screaming and crying because he didn't feel good. I couldn't just sit in my room since I knew he felt awful, so I kept holding him and trying to calm him down. My H then proceeds to tell me "I can definitely say we aren't having anymore." I wanted to bitch him out so bad since he wasn't even the one dealing with it; he was just laying in bed. The FC part: I'm still trying to find a way to convince him we need another one, even though I know he doesn't want anymore.

We have these moments to. MH wants a girl so he wants another one in theory, but he always talks about how he doesn't want to do it again. I find myself taking on all of Kellen's "not fun" moments solo and trying to make it seem easier than it is in order to change his mind (not saying this is a good thing, just confessing that I tend to do it). I'm starting to get the baby itch and he is far, far, far from it.
