FFFC?

kelly321 · September 2013

I've been saving this one for a few days. When I was getting DD2 ready for bed the other night, I realized I was humming The Stripper (we used to play it in pep band). I have no idea about the context of that song, but just the name made me feel guilty for singing it to my little girl as I undressed her... And when I started to put her jammies on? I switched to our usual putting-on-clothes song "Hokey Pokey" slightly modified to "I put your right arm in, you take your right arm out, I put your right arm in and you shake it all about" etc.

I think I'll just try to stick to Hokey Pokey when changing from now on.

I don't fold LO's clothes before they go in the drawers. I hang nice/really wrinkle-able things on tiny hangers in the closet, but footed jammies, t-shirts etc. just get shoved in the drawers.

You are not alone. In fact, most of our clean clothes never even make it to the drawers. I have a shelving unit in my bedroom and each shelf has a basket for clean clothes - one for the boys' room, one for socks that need matched, one for DD1, and one for DD2. The goal is to take the baskets to their rooms when they are full so everything can be put away (by this I mean shoved into drawers), but most of the time I just end up pulling what they will wear for the day from the baskets.

Me either. In fact, we have been digging though clothes piled on the sofa for over a week.

This is not baby related, but sometimes working with teenagers is so hard and I seriously start thinking about quitting. My team has been so whiny this week and I am so frustrated, which translates into being stressed and upset when I'm with my family. It's hard for me to separate "work" from home, which is why I got out of teaching - my concern and worry for the kids literally consumed my life because I couldn't leave work at work. I know that they don't have the brain capacity yet to realize what I give up to be with them and help them achieve their goals, but some days it is really hard to remember that. Some days I'd way rather be with my baby than deal with their crap.

I couldn't imagine going back to work. I totally respect working moms, and give them all the credit in the world, but for me, I just can't. I know that I am fortunate to be able to make that choice. I just see all these kids in the park every day with nannies, and I just couldn't bear the thought if that being my daughter. It's probably just my type A control freak showing. I mean, I still haven't found a sitter for date nights! I have a number for one, but I just don't feel ready to let someone else other than me/daddy or grandmas do bedtime.

Totally agree with you. I do work but it's extremely part time... like, at most, 12 hours a week. Any more than that and I feel like I'm going nuts trying to balance work, home, and baby. I'm just not cut out for it.

I was on my way home today around 3:30. My sitter texted and asked if she should try to give DS one last nap in 15 mins. based on when he woke up last. He definitely needed one based on what time he woke up. I was only 3 minutes from home and could have easily gotten there in time to put him down for his last nap. But I texted her back and told her to go ahead and put him down, and I went and got an iced coffee and picked up some wine for after bedtime lol. DS tends to fight his last nap, and I wasn't up for the project lol. The alternative was much more fun.

I have a super crush on our school's assistant principal. One reason I'm enjoying being back at work is so I can flirt with him - as much as you can flirt with someone who is your superior - mostly it's me tripping over my words and giggling like a school girl. :x

We bought 3bags of Halloween candy....its all gone in 4 days. clearly my diet is off 8-|

DS kinda got the gammit from mom and dad the other day. His dad was clipping him into his car seat (which we are waiting for a part on our regular car seat and are using a borrowed one right now) and he must have caught the bottoms of his chin. So poor dude starts to bawl. And I had to yell at DH to get DS out of the car seat. He thought DS was being cranky and I was sure he got pinched. He did... Then of course, what do I do later that day... Bonk his little noggin while I was taking him out of his jolly jumper. Poor little man. I felt like we were bad parents that day.

I was playing peek a boo with dd and dh by peeking her head around the corner of the wall at her daddy and she loved it right up until I cracked her head on the cabinet one of the times...that ended our fun pretty quick.

kleigh926 · September 2013

Sometimes I take DD to visit DH's grandparents right around lunch time because I know they will offer me food. And I love food. Any food. This past week his grandma sent me home with 2 boxes of Tastykakes

In my defense, since DD is moving towards taking 1 morning nap and 1 afternoon nap, lunch time is usually when she's awake, so that's when we go places. It's not like I change her schedule up just so I can mooch food off people, lol.

Poppy523 · September 2013

I have another...we bought halloween candy in bulk and I asked dh to hide it and I found it today...I haven't told him.

I just bought a $230 backpacking baby carrier. Ack! It was 20% off so only $186, but I don't even go backpacking! I've really been wanting to and wanting to go on a bunch of hikes but it just doesn't work with the ergo. It's not comfortable for either of us for long periods, so that was my justification. Now I need to get my booty in gear and start hiking.

I was having a lazy day yesterday so all of LO's feeds were lying down. During one feed I dropped a book on her head another one it was my iPhone. She cried at the iPhone. I felt bad.

NBR, eversince I lost my job when LO was 4 months old, I started surfing the internet & kept myself busy so that I don't get engulfed by the huge frustration which was just at it's starting point. I found many great websites (including TB). I have been keeping a secret from my family, actually I'm sharing this ONLY with you ladies. I started washing my hair with no-poo from last week. I'm on the transitional phase right now, it's looking & feeling great, but I have to wash it every other day, otherwise it feels dirty. Yesterday I read on the internet about banana being used as a conditioner, and decided to try it today. Didn't realize it was one of the worst decisions I made in my life. So how did it go? Let me just tell you, if you really HATE someone, just tell them that banana works as a great conditioner. It really does work, makes your hair smooth, soft & silky, but for the cost of 1/3rd of your hair. Another lesson for me, NOT to try everything you read on the net.

A hiking backpack is the only one that is comfortable for DH to wear. We have an old hand-me-down from my niece that's at least a decade old, but DH loves it! We don't hike though...

Then I guess my confession will be that I could not imagine staying at home.

) I LOVE my baby and wish I could spend more time with her than working allows, but Monday morning always feels like the start of my weekend.
