Not too exciting, but I cried myself to sleep last night because it was the first night LO spent the night in his crib.

I'll have to think if something more juicy and return...

I'm having a hard time giving up baby snuggles. Nap time is OK (despite currently snuggling lol) but bedtime I can't!

We moved DD into her own room directly across from ours on Sunday night. She has always been in her own crib, but just shared a room. I checked on her way too many times. She was fine, I wasn't as ok and still didn't sleep well. She has also been sttn all week. I think she would've sttn sooner (or actually was), but I woke up with her every move thinking she was hungry.

FFFC - My almost 89 year old grandma passed away yesterday. We were all prepared and had our chance to say goodbye. I'm happy she passed. She had a long life. She has 5 children, 17 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. My 65 year old aunt thought she needed to fight to get better. (She broke her hip and tailbone and had pneumonia, but then they realized she had multiple silent strokes and continued to have more in the hospital.)

Eta- This was an almost 3 week process. I really wich human euthanasia was ok.

Okay with all that I do have a confession I thought of now:

My brother is struggling big time. I have more than enough money to dig him out and it wouldn't even make a difference in my budget. I'm not giving him one cent.

I wonder if we have the same brother?!?!?! This sounds eerily familar.

Ugh I'm sorry someone as sweet as you has to deal with a brother like mine. Does he have a craptastic dumb wife

Wife-to-be and yes. And I'm the maid of honor in the wedding. Lovely.

Ugh. I couldn't be a part f their wedding, thank goodness they did not ask. I cried my eyes out at their wedding. Not for happiness, but for severe depression. Everyone thinks I was happy/emotional (I was 7mos pg), so we'll just go with that.

I feel evil saying this. I just want to get a hotel room by myself and get room service and rent movies and lay in bed for a weekend. ALONE. And not for a business trip. For an ellestaxx trip. No LO. Am I awful??

No. We all need a break. I left dd overnight for the first time last weekend so we could pack and move. DH and I were in bed asleep by 8:30. No fun. Just sleep. It was amazing!

jennlin · March 2014

@stefmurph, your post is too sad to "love", so just accept this post as "I agree" and I'm really sorry for your loss.

3) DH turns 30 this year, and I know his mom wants to organize him some sort of party. I'd be fine with it, but his birthday is the Saturday before mother's day, and I don't want my first mother's day to be ruined by a hungover husband.

@kelle017 30 is too old for your husband to get so drunk at a family bday party that he is hungover the next day. And if he is that's his problem... You should go out shopping, get a massage, mani/pedi,etc. and he will have to deal with LO with a hangover! Or if you do family stuff he can suck it up!

tashad18 · March 2014

I started watching Toddlers and Tiaras on Netflix this past week to see what they hype was about. It was horrible, terrible, crazy, and I can't look away. I mostly enjoy seeing the random and hilarious shit the kids say when being interviewed and seeing all those crazy ass "pageant" names.

babyLOLO13 · March 2014

I used to make much more $ than DH before I stopped working for LO. Now that I'm going back to work PT, DH refers to it as our "fun spending cash". I don't know why it bugs the shit out of me. I think because I was a huge money provider and now I'm just "spending cash worthy" provider. I'll be making a decent amount too. Just irked.

acethebase · March 2014

@StefMurph I'm so sorry for your loss. And I agree about the human euthanasia. Working in a nursing home I have seen it all. I always hated that look they got when they are near death.... It's almost as if they are looking at you and saying "just kill me already!" I've had people beg me to kill them and pray to die. It's such a horrible thing to witness! It was torture for me too because I have to live with those memories. And I've noticed that the best people seem to suffer the worst. I wish I could forget some of those things...

bkeane619 · March 2014

Potty training will be the death of me this coming week. DH is gonna be working non stop 7 days. It's some Nickelodeon upfront thing. He better get some swag for DS or else.

MrsStuessyWI · March 2014

Sort of a serious one. I apologize in advance for the lack of entertainment.

DH is quitting his current job, which didn't pay that great but gave him insurance for working part time. He is getting a paid internship in his field. This means no insurance and we will be even poorer than we are now. So, I am already starting to apply for medicaid for our family. In the long run this is a great thing because he needs the experience really really bad. This is only for a year or two, but I just wish this part of our life was over.

ajjf1026 · March 2014

@ellestaxx You're not an awful mom at all. We all need our alone time every once in awhile. Your DS loves you and he knows you love him!! I wish we lived closer. We could have a spa day!!

Kittymom6 · March 2014

I strongly dislike my MIL, and it hurts my feelings that my mom is nice to her (emails her, sends her cards, etc.). My MIL has done a lot of fucked up stuff to my DH (and to my late FIL), but I seem to be the only one who can't forgive her. When I complain to my mom about MIL, she just says "you knew what you were getting into when you married DH." I kinda feel like my mom is taking her side by being nice to her. Lame.

@acethebase, weird stranger hugs. I watched my FIL pass away and it's something I'll never forget. I can't imagine working in a nursing home and seeing it over and over again.

@stephmurph, I'm sorry for your loss.

Flutterby00 · March 2014

I have one. And its a good one this time.

DH and I shared the same electric toothbrush for about 5 years. Same head and everything. We had a very small one bathroom house, and the wall space between the mirror and cabinet only had room for one base. I had gotten the toothbrush for Christmas...and DH was all "I'm jealous" so he just started using it and I didn't stop him.

We got two toothbrushes when we got a bigger house with a bathroom with two vanities on opposite sides of the bathroom. His and hers.

We still share if we travel.

jennlin · March 2014

@flutterby00 ew! We will share if we forgot one while traveling, but regularly at home? Blech.

Flutterby00 · March 2014

@jennlin....I know, I know.

trackgirlparis · March 2014

DHs birthday is tomorrow and although he doesn't want to spend money by going out, I NEED a night without LO. So I'm basically taking DH out for my sanity, more than for his birthday. SIL will be watching DD.

Also @gatorsgirl731 I was convinced I was KU until last night when I got my 4 days late period. I was also insanely stalking N14. I'm happy we WON'T be N14 bumpie friends too.

ncase2 · March 2014

I am, like, exceptionally superstitious. It used to be really bad, more OCDish when I was younger - like, if I messed up my routine in the shower I would have to do it all over again, but now it's just little things. Like, yesterday - there are three bathroom stalls in the restroom closest to my office, and I seriously sat and waited for the one on the left end or middle to become available, even though the one on the right end was open. Why? Because I had my miscarriage in that bathroom stall and will never use it again. I'm not even pregnant or trying.

Also, DH started making noises about "thinking about trying" for another baby, and this gives me so much anxiety I can't even process it. Mostly I'm terrified I'll have another preemie, NICU stay, etc.

I dont think any of that sounded crazy/superstitious etc. hugs!!!

oh oh oh i forgot we tried giving LO pureed avocado (she decided that was the worst thing that ever happened to her in her life) so we made guacamole out of it. it was the smoothest guacamole around

cassey910 · March 2014

I love my IL's but I told DH they couldn't stay with us. They have no place to go again. They stayed with us last year for 6 months while I was pregnant and I don't know how I made it and I can't do it again. There are 4 other kids but none of them will let them stay either and my DH thinks it's his responsibility. Ahhhhh

I wish I never went to school for Pastry Arts so my friends wouldn't ask me to make them cakes. I don't know how to say no.

This sounds like DH and his mom. Terrible situation. I know how you feel!

I kinda liked my c-section so much and dont know what i will do next time around. Although i understand the risks of any major surgery, including a c-section, i was so happy to not be scared to poop, pee, have sex, etc. that i might not even try a vbac.

I gotts another one:

I just bought an annual family membership to the Zoo b/c they are running a special that gets you two passes for the Giraffe station plus you get in an hour early to Easter Egg Hunt thing and the Zoo Boo event. Is it wrong that I am excited to take what will be a 6 month old baby to the Easter Egg Hunt? Will I get side eyed for that? Also it gets us free passes to the Dinosaur exhibit they are opening next year.I am far more excited about these things I think.

Nope, having a kid = belonging. Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that it's a positive experience to expose LOs to new environments, even if they can't fully grasp what is going on. PLUS, it will reeealllyyy tire baby out.

I have another. I am starting a construction project Monday and my plans were approved weeks ago. The lady who prints the permit still hasn't done it. It shouldn't take more than a few days at most. We can't start until we have paper on hand. She's been really rude too. I follow "kill them with kindness" at work so I sent her a really nice email today thanking her for all her help and stuff. I haven't emailed her otherwise and I haven't pestered her for the paper. She IMMEDIATELY called me and told me "stop emailing me. I want no more emails from you." And hung up on me. I signed her email up to a few online newsletters/spam. One may have been Christian Mingle. Fuck the kill them with kindness stuff at this point.

Wow! That seems like a little overkill on her part. Is there anyone else you can speak with regarding your concerns and the way you were treated? I also follow kill em with kindness, but when people are flat out rude I turn into a super bitch.

What the fuck?? I would cut a bitch. Not really, but I would call her supervisor immediately.

I love my DH and we obviously share bodily fluids, but I don't think I could share a toothbrush unless it was a one time thing. I'd rather look at 4 billion vaginas than teeth. I used to work in a gynecologist office.
