I've had my wedding flowers in my siggy since I joined under this name because that was the "siggy challenge" on TTGP at the time. I'm too lazy to change it.
DAVE MATTHEWS BAND IS COMING TO JACKSONVILLE ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
I am jumping off the walls, so excited!! They are going to do a double-set of acoustic and electric!! They have never come to Jax before!! GAHHH EXCITED
I hate saying this but... Im not impressed with this season of How I Met Your Mother. It just seems like a lot of filler crap to drag it on. FFTC?
Yesterday's episode was pointless. The worst episode for me was the one where everything they said rhymed. It drove me crazy! I wanted to turn it off, but my DH wouldn't let me. I hope they get back to the storyline soon.
@cl8badb I was just talking to my SO last night while watching the episode about how I was getting burnt out on how I met your mother. I love the show and have seen every single episode but it's getting really boring and I'm afraid I'm going to be very disappointed when the season ends. I had high hopes for this season and it's mostly been a drag.
@heartlikemine3 yes! MH does the same thing with his huffy puffy attitude and then I feel like I need to do whatever it is myself so he doesn't end up treating the baby poorly, which just further infuriates me!
@subliminalrabbit he does a pretty good job of helping the 1 and a half hours he is home before B goes to sleep. He is always like this about MOTN feedings, and he totally agrees that he is a complete ass and blames it on being sleepy. We are all sleepy around here. I don't get why he can't grow up and act like a loving father versus a little brat in the middle of the night. It's been nearly 7 months now and you'd think he would be able to put away his own frustrations in order to do what's best for B. I feel like it is so selfish and immature. We take turns and he gets plenty of nights where he sleeps through the night. Versus me, who even in my "off nights" must listen for the monitor and wake him up in order to go get Ben- so I never get more than a few consecutive hours of sleep. Ever. But I'm not going around acting like a grumpy brat leaving my kid suddenly to CIO in the middle of the night. Ge is very aware that he is this way, and acts like he has no control over it since he is soooo sleepy. We have also discussed starting night time sleep training but haven't come to any decisions. He knows I won't just go along with him randomly leaving Ben to CIO for an endless amt of time in the MOTN so I don't understand why he does this. Probably bc he knows I will go do it. Mad or not, he doesn't care.
Regarding How I Met Your Mother, I completely agree! There have been some really good episodes and some great jokes (my FAVORITE this season is "Ring bear" "Ring BearER Barney BearER" "yeah, the ring bear"). But last night was lame. And the slap episodes are normally some of the best!
Lesson I learned today: When life hands you a clogged boob at work, you pump, clear that little fucker yourself and hand squeeze another ounce into a pump bottle held between your legs in your lap.

Bravo to you. Are your plugged ducts getting better? I know you were struggling with them a lot as well. I'm down to getting about one a week now, which I'm ecstatic about. And some of your tips helped me out a lot!
@CL8badB I totally would, I'm feeling prettttty proud of my skills right now
@numbersgirl08 I've been meaning to ask how you were doing. For some magical reason I have not been getting as many the last month. Like you, maybe once a week. The clogs seem to clear a lot faster too, especially if I can nurse. I am so glad my tips helped, yours did too!
E's new favorite games:
throwing her toys out of reach and then diving head first after them,causing me to have a mini heart attack.
Grabbing the skin off the back of my arm while nursing and pinching it as hard as she can.
yuuuup. I have to trim his nails daily because he's so handsy. And the head first dive is getting old...just figure out how to crawl already!

N's favorite is to grab, pinch, and scratch my boob the whole time she's nursing. No matter how much I trim her nails, it doesn't make it any better. I can hold one hand but her other hand then grabs and pinches my arm. There's no winning! But I have tiny little scabs on my boob from her fingernails.
@funkyphoenix what an worthless turd! why is his sleep more valuable than yours?
Because he has a "real job"... Duh! ::Rolling eyes:: He has never come out and said that but will say this or that about "important meetings" etc. And he is a man child and can't get over his bratty self enough to be a giver instead of a taker.

I thought I had a clogged duct this weekend because my boob hurt, turns out it was just a bruise from when my kid punched me in the boob while nursing...
Just booked a trip in March to Seattle and LA! Ds and I will be visiting Seattle by ourselves then meeting up with DH in LA... I'm already nervous to travel alone with him! Yikes!!

Love Seattle! The Seattle Underground tour is pretty cool, but I don't know if I would do that with LO. They have a nice aquarium and science museum, and this place called the Experience Music Project was pretty cool, if you are looking for stuff to do.
@subliminalrabbit I am going through something similar. I just had someone leave and now I am expected to do both of our work when I can barely get mine done. I literally have not had more than 3 hours to myself since last Thursday (that's why the GGs made me so happy). I haven't done laundry in weeks, I haven't taken a shower in days, and my house is a mess. I can't even drink because I have been working at home from the moment Ty goes to bed until when I do.
I am taking next Monday off and am going to just pretend I have no responsibilities for the day. I feel like I'm losing myself which makes me shut down.
Can you do that? Take a minute/hour/day to just be subliminalrabbit?
@subliminalrabbit - I agree with everyone else! And I know how hard juggling a demanding career can be - how hard it is to constantly be struggling to stay on top and feeling like right now, more than ever, you can prove that you are invaluable even though you are also a mom. It's so much pressure to feel like you have to be ON and be perfect in everything. I like what @violet1183 says - remind yourself of your priorities and admit that you are only one person doing your best.

@Steamboat1679, I believe in your theory, and I may have tested it before.
@NachelleBeck, yes!!! She says, da da da da da da all the time. I respond with ma ma ma ma ma.

Big hugs @subliminalrabbit. We are here for you!
I think The Bump is trying to tell me I need some new jewelry.
