Ava is still sick and now I am too. My H had a procedure done on his knees a couple days ago so he can hardly walk he's in so much pain. Yesterday we lay around in the living room while having a modern family marathon. Ava just played around us.

Then we ordered take out from our favorite local restaurant cause they deliver and neither of us wanted to cook.

It was great until Ava threw up her entire dinner.... At the table too.

I don't like being pregnant. I know there are a ton of women out there who would give their right arm to experience it (my sister being one of them), and I feel so bad that I am not that pregnant woman who glows and loves every second. Both pregnancies have been gratefully very easy physically with no concerns about the baby - I just don't enjoy it. It is a means to an end for me.

I was the same way. And part of the reason we are holding off on baby number 2 is becAuse I'm really not looking forward to being pregnant again. I love my daughter and I love being a mom but I wasn't a fan of pregnancy.

I'll join the "pregnancy sucks" club. I'm not even suffering as badly as the last one (yet?). It's the worst, I'm a big baby. G-d is so cruel. For what we're doing for the human race, this should feel AWESOME.

I've had the Thomas theme song stuck in my head for three days. I substitute my own name in for the names of all the trains when I sing it. MOMMY! She's the cheeky one. MOMMY! Vain but lots of fun!

This exactly for me too. My pregnancy with Ava went pretty smoothly too so I'm worried the next one might be the opposite. I'm totally holding off on getting pregnant right now, but mostly for the fact that I just am not a fan of being pregnant....

I've been unreasonably cranky all week. Hoping it passes.

I think Robin Thicke is overrated. He has one known song and ever since the VMAs with Miley Cirus he's supposedly this awesome singer.

I don't think he's an awesome singer at all. I think he has one ridiculously catchy tune.

I put my fleece lined tights on backwards yesterday. By the time I realized it I had already poured myself into them and was to lazy to take them back off. They were under my pants so no one would notice.
In the past I have thought some of the male students in my classes were attractive. I teach college classes so there is not a huge age gap and I still feel like I am in my early 20's. Now that I have LO not so much. Now I feel like I am well into my 40's.

I probably scratched my neighbor's car this morning with the stroller. I heard a bad sound, but didn't dare look to see the damage. Every morning, I need to bring our big BOB stroller down a flight of stairs, and then squeeze myself and the folded stroller between two parked cars on an icy parking lot. The neighbor's whose car I most likely scratched sees me doing this regularly, since he often leaves pretty much at the same time I do. The space next to his is unassigned/unused. He could easily park in a way that would give me more space or honestly, he could just park in the other spot. He also parks right against the snow ledge, so I can't get to the empty parking space. I'm not even sorry, and if he confronts me, I'm going to act all innocent.

Also, while I do this, every single morning, Tumaini is alone in the apartment. She usually waits for me at the sliding doors, and I leave it open an inch so I can hear her if she cries. I never thought that was a bad thing, but since someone got flamed for leaving their sleeping baby alone for a few minutes the other day, I'm wondering if it's also flamable.

potatoe6 · January 2014

I am feeling messed up. DSD has been back with us for a week and half, I am guessing hiding out from her mom, as she lost her bus pass for the 3rd time this month, so she decided to stay with us last week and this week until Saturday as it is her exams and it is easier for her to get to the school from our house.

FC- I cannot wait for her to go back as she has eaten all the snack and lunch food in the house but doesn't tell us when she finished it, so when DS or I go to make our lunches by Friday there is nothing to eat. THis is even after we went out and got her all the junk food she wanted, she ate all that plus the other food. Tomorrow cannot come fast enough.

Issue - her life there is horrible, her mom was supposed to take her to the doctors for follow up on the meds he prescribed, she was to go see a psycologist about her cutting and emotional issues, she was to have monthly ortho appts, since she has been with her mom her face has broken out and her mom said she will take her to a dematologist, This woman has not done any of this, even when we make the appts at times that are convient to her schedule, she always has an excuse as to why she cannot take her (it usually has to do with her other daughter) and now at our house she says she cannot see the TV and feels she might need glasses, when we asked her if her mom made an appt,she said she is too busy. I feel bad for her, she really wants to be with her mom and her mom to be there for here, but this woman just can't, hell we have been doing all this stuff for the last 10 years, she cannot do it for the last 3 months.

I just feel that she should/needs to come back, because we are clearly better for her, but I kind of don't want her too as it makes our house uncomfortable, I used to dread coming home every night when she was with us. Sorry my FC is a novel but I have no one else to mention this to, my family just says she is a teenager or that I am jealous of her, but that is not the case.

aylafsu88 · January 2014

@potatoe6 Hugs! That is a crappy situation all around.

I'm beyond happy that were moving early enough in frankies language development that he will have a cajun accent and learn Cajun French from my family.

I don't like being pregnant either. People make me feel like I should love it and I know many people who like you said would do anything to be pregnant. I love my son to pieces and will love this one too, but the whole pregnancy thing is not for me.

I didn't like it either, and I was upset about that because I grew up with my mom saying how much she loved being pregnant with my brother and I. How she got into such great shape and was able to go go go until she started going into labor.

We have friends that we see often, they have a baby that is almost a year old. My fc is I am not a fan of their kid. He whines all.the.time! Is distructive towards everything. I realize he is 1 and it's not his fault but I don't want to see our friends as often on account of their kid.

We have a similar situation, but our friends' child is the same age as Tumaini, and she is rough. She's constantly pushing Tumaini, pulling her hair, throwing things at her. We use a soft positive discipline approach, and if ever Tumaini does something similar (it happens very very rarely), we tell her to be gentle, and show her the right way to act. Our friends will grab their child by the arm, and yell at her, and put her in the corner for a bit, while holding her there. I always have to bite my tongue, I don't think at that age that it's the way to act, it just shows them that it's acceptable behavior to be rough, if they do it with her. I wish I had a tactful way of proposing a different approach.

potatoe6 · January 2014

@aylafsu88 thanks, it's just a crappy situation for everyone, especially her. Her mom is just a manipulator. She is using DSD to get back at DH by saying all this crap about how much she loves her and how much she misses her, etc... but when she gets her she does nothing with her, ignores her,or has her babysit her DD and her BF's DD while they go out all night and then her mom expects us to do and pay for all the real work, appts, school, shopping, clothing, haircuts,etc.... DSD is starting to see it, i give her until the summer, she will be begging to come back.

We have the same problem, except it's my cousin's kid that is really rough and pushing Charlie and being a little rough kid. They also grab him and spank him and put him in the corner, and I feel really bad for the poor kid. They're really not even two yet, I'm not sure they really grasp what they're being punished for. But I also don't like him pushing my kid, he's so mean to her that it's to the point where she starts crying if he even comes towards her.

tiredmomsclub · January 2014

I try to convince myself and others that I am a total neat freak, to some extent that's true, until you walk into the storage area off my laundry room. Actually you can't walk into it, because it is THAT packed full of junk. Not a great FC, but that's all I got.

I still have a Christmas wreath up on the front door.

Henry is still sleeping in his Christmas PJs. They still fit, are super warm, and are pretty cozy. I don't see the point in putting them away because it's not like he will fit in them next year and I'm wasting perfectly good PJs.

My Henry as well. Especially since between Grandparents etc. he has 3 sets.

So is Charlie, they're warm and fit so they're going to be used.

I am glad we are not having any more children. We were blessed with one of each and have decided to stop. I do not think I could go through a 3rd pregnancy. Even though they were fairly easy pregnancies, I did not care for it and it took a lot out of me physically and emotionally.

Also, I'm secretly praying for this next baby to look more Indian than my LO. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that if they look too not Indian, they may not be as immersed in my culture. Stupid and irrational, but whatevs.

Your kids will be immersed in your culture because of YOU and your influence, not because of what they look like! Plus think of it this way. If your kids look ambiguous in the race department, they will probably be asked "what are you" by curious kids from time to time. I would use that as a learning tool and explain that people sometimes are just curious and not trying to be mean, and let them use that as an opportunity to explain their heritage to people.

Me too. And no intentions of taking it down anytime soon.

We left a wreath on our front door until February a couple years ago and one of our neighbors left a note in our mailbox!! It was snarky and said that Christmas was over so we should take our wreath down. We were appalled and we still wonder which neighbor left the note... and my H really wanted to leave it up until summer just to piss them off. (but we didn't)

I'm with your husband. It would 100% be up all year long.

I would have waited til they were away from home and hung the wreath on their door with a note, "seems like you could use a little holiday cheer."
