Vent about it here....tell us your weird random thoughts or AW it up.

Want to make this a daily thing? Or a few days a week?

    Random thought: Someone said the phrase "making money hand over fist" yesterday. I thought about it, and it makes no sense. Anyone got an explanation?

    In other news, I really want some burger King breakfast. I'd love a sausage biscuit with a little syrup on it. Mmmmm.

    I'm totally stopping at Starbucks for coffee & a breakfast sandwich this morning. Yum!

    I think comes from the nautical practice of how you handle a rope (like pulling in a sail or tying off at a dock). You pull a rope in hand over hand over hand, so I guess the phrase is supposed to mean in a steady, quick fashion?

    I upgraded my phone last night from an iPhone4 to the LG G2 and I'm having serious doubts about it now. I miss my iPhone! Don't know if it's growing pains or I seriously don't like it.

    After having an iPhone since the original came out I just cannot make the switch.  My brain has been reprogrammed by those damn Apple geniuses!

    My vent: my sister is a moron. I was talking to her yesterday about I may start iui soon and I would have to stop BFing and switch to formula. She said, I shit you not, "ohhhhh. I'm against that stuff, it's like poison." This is coming from the girl who fucking smoked during her first pregnancy and is probably doing the same through this one. Then the convo went into how she's against vaccines. RAGE! Eta: she also already has names picked for this baby.... Roman Ivy for a boy or Willow Menchel for girl. Speschel & yunikque
    WTF is Menchel!? And IMO Ivy is totes a girl name.  Blue Ivy anyone? ;)

    My vent: I literally have not seen my MIL in a month and I saw her last night and I wanted to drill my eyes out. I get SO fucking annoyed that she keeps saying my kid is a "prodigy". She honestly said it like 20 times (no joke). And seriously... I should be thrilled that MIL thinks LO is smart as all hell, and I am... but stop saying he's a prodigy because he can sit up or does something cute.She says it over and over and over. And it's also the fact she HAS to be better than everyone so she would totally compare my kid to someone elses and be like "Well.. my grandson's a prodigy. Even the doctor told him." or something like that. I fucking hate that. 

    Also, EVERYTHING LO does is something DH did as a child. Well... duh MIL, of course. But she says it like everything he does is because he's half DH's and he's just like him. And I mentioned how LO has sensitive skin (while I sit here with beyond god awful dry winter skin and red blotches) and I probably gave it to him. Well no.. he got that from DH too (as my husband has almost perfect skin). 

    I love you, but you're on my shit list right now, MIL.

    Agreed on the iPhone!! They are so easy to use. So we are moving into a hotel for 2 nights so we can have our house interior painted to sell. I'm so stressed thinking about what to pack, how to handle bottles and formula and everything else while staying at a hotel. Ughhhhh not to mention, pulling everything off the wall and moving all of our furniture into the middle of the room to get the house ready. So dreading the next 2 days.

    @lokilahve she should head to the names board. I thought my two picks were great.

    Oh the phone topic, we are able to get upgrades (basically we can just get new phones of any sort).. I'm not really into getting an iPhone5. I have a 4s right now and have been thinking about getting another (my phone is cracker front and back) or looking at a galaxy. I'm confused.. And it scares me

    I've had an iPhone for 5 years and when Mh got his Android I had to help him set it up... I was so confused. iPhone 4 LYFE.
    I got the new phone solely because the camera is so much better but I'm so flipping confused! I miss auto correct as funny as that sounds but I actually do like the sliding typing feature. We'll see


    When I made the switch to droid a couple of years ago I thought I would never use this because it seemed to complicated.  Fast forward a few months and I fell in love with swipe and now get irritated when I can't swipe type on a non-droid device.

    I switched to apple and miss swype so much. I'm going back to droid with the next phone.

    Have your MIL read this article: https://nymag.com/news/features/27840

    Hopefully she will stop calling your kid a prodigy if she realizes that it's a great way to set him up for failure. 

    ETA: Hopefully fixed link

    I fixed the link on the original post for anyone interested in reading it. It's quite long, but it really made me realize why I had such a hard time in college. I was told I was "smart" my whole life, and it really affected my confidence when I actually struggled with things in school.

    I almost feel like I was subconsciously thinking that when she was saying it. Can't he just be average?! It was super frustrating. And part of it was just that she's so showy.

    Next weekend we have to drive about 6-7 hours with LO to go see MIL because about a year and a half ago she decided it would be so awesome for her to rent a place for a month between us and SIL and have us visit.  Except that "between" is a 6 hour drive for us and under an hour drive for SIL.  As usual, she didn't really discuss her plans with anyone, made them, and assumed we'd accommodate and DH obliged.  So it's going to be 6-7 hour drive, stay there 2.5 days, 6-7 hour drive back all right before we take a cross-country trip for a week to see my grandparents.

    She does the same thing now with flights out to see us - plans her visits out here around my niece's school break schedule to help SIL, then plans to visit us right after and picks a flight from SIL to us that works for her regardless of what works for us.  She'll always ask what days work for us, but if they don't match her plans, then suddenly no airlines have tickets those days or the Saturday flight she wants is suddenly cheaper than the Wednesday flight we suggested or she couldn't wait for DH to check with me and call her back and has already bought a non-refundable ticket because it was a good deal.

    Here's a vent:
    I was talking to H last night about how EBF has it's challenges and that I haven't had a break in 6 months. I talked about how I feel over whelmed and, quite frankly, like a shitty mother for feeling like this.

    His response: "well, how do other moms do it?"

    Great. Like I didn't feel inadequate before.

    Seriously you are more than adequate! I'm sure you're an amazing mama. You're EBF. That's a feat in itself! I'm constantly comparing myself to you ladies who EBF because we just couldn't get the hang of BF. I beat myself up almost daily, but I also try and realize that my son is super happy and amazing. And that's because I'm raising him. You're raising your LO and I'm sure she loves you to pieces and you are seriously the best mother she could have ever asked for. You love her unconditionally. <3 It's normal to be overwhelmed. All of us are feeling that today, if not today, then at some point. As much as you feel alone, you never are, even if we're a bunch of internet strangers. <3 

    And I saw this and thought of you... I have no idea why.. but I did. I was going to post it on your wall thingie but then felt like a creep. Haha. I just figured it was cute and you'd like it. :)<3

    I sometimes feel like the crazy mom that shows pics of their kid to everybody. I can't help it. People ask and I oblige :)

    DS wakes up like clockwork every night. 3:30 rolls around, he's up searching for food. He's also been getting up earlier every morning...no good!

    AW moment. This is lo last night at the airport waiting to pick up her grandpa. He was so excited to see her. She smiled at him and reached for him. I was so worried that she wouldn't know who he was. I guess skype is pretty realistic to her little mind. It was beautiful!
    She is adorable!!

    When you find one that does it without feeling that way have her call me. I was on my way here to vent about my mini melt down because of the stress and roller coaster ride ebf has been.

    Once we get in a groove something comes up. Didn't get in our first groove until Jackson was 2 months.. Then a nursing strike.. Get back on track my supply drops cause guess who's AF came back, get my supply back up and were going good then idk what is up with us because its seems to be back and forth good nursing good supply to not really wanting to nurse and crappy supply and its a chicken egg thing that I don't know what came first. I get frustrated with myself and even DS sometimes and I feel HORRIBLE! When things are well nursing wise we're on cloud 9. I've thought about trying to supplement some but LO will not take ANY formula so even if I didn't feel horribly selfish for wanting to ween every now and then I don't even know what I'd do since LO won't take formula and the way my pumping has been going I wouldn't be able to EP.

    No one tells you how hard breastfeeding is. Seriously labor and delivery was an awesome experience all around for me but this breastfeeding thing has been the biggest most emotional and physically challenging roller coaster I've been on...

    End vent.

    Also I heard on the radio this morning that eating ice cream twice a day can help with fertility.

    That alone would pretty much mean I'm pregnant! I'm about certain LO is consuming ice cream through my nipples...that's how much ice cream I've eaten lately!!
    And for those that have a Krogers...their private selection cinnamon chocolate ice cream is AMAZING!! Only available in the small containers, so buy many!

    Random: mothers milk tea taste like black licorice which I hate.

    I don't drink anymore but when I did jäger taste like black licorice which alone was disgusting but as a jäger bomb with monster tasty. So I'm debating making a milk tea bomb see if the monster makes the tea taste any better
