My ex husband has paid child support for FIVE weeks in a row!!!!

I don't even know what to do with myself. $600 down...$34,000 to go LMAO!!!!

reinedecajun · April 2014

In a few weeks big Frankie has a appointment for the VA that is three hours away. At first I was agitated having to go that far. But we decided to go the night before and just get a room. Now I'm jacked because its a night away, and I get to meet up with one of my besties!!!! We'll have lil Frankie with us but he's easy compared to the teenagers.

The room we reserved has two king beds, one for us and one for Frankie. That kid is a bed hog!!!!!!

This is not too flame worthy, but the discussion yesterday made me realize we have never used a babysitter and family has only ever watched LO for 5 hours total. He does go to daycare while we are at work though, but he has never had a babysitter.

We haven't either, big Frankie isn't ready. The only thing he has done was mothers day out and that was yesterday! We don't go out alone all that often if we do it's usually a family thing so no sitter needed

Yesterday my husband had traffic court for a speeding ticket. (His first one ever lol) He wore his Iraq veteran hat with his combat badge pin on it. He got his $199 ticket reduced to a $50 seatbelt ticket.

Kicker he was only going 10 miles over the limit!!!! The speed trap here is so bad, it made the news the other day.

I'm secretly glad that my best friend has gained so much weight because lately she's been a total biotch. They are having a family only wedding ceremony and she said she would have to "run it by her fiancé" to see if I could go. B!tch we have been best friends for 15 years (literally she was my maid of honors and I held her leg up while she was giving birth-so real close) not to mention all the hell I went through trying to throw her a shower (do y'all remember that?) don't worry she's not obese and isn't struggling to lose the weight so don't flame me. I'm just saying she's packed on some pounds and it doesn't bother me

@lilahbean13‌ wait, what?! You threw her a shower and you aren't even invited to the wedding? What in the actual fuck?

I tried to throw her a bridal shower but she was such a b!tch about it. None or the themes were good enough none of the venues were good enough none of the presents were good enough so I said f this! So she now doesn't get to have a shower and I don't feel bad about it. It was exhausting so I gave up !

breezyblueyez · April 2014

I haven't shaved my nether regions in two months or more...I look like im straight out of the 70s ..it needs to go! I'm embarrassed at how lazy I am lately.

Same. Except for his nanny, only family has watched Tucker. One of my best friends has offered to babysit whenever we need someone but I honestly just don't trust any one but family yet. None of my close friends have kids so I feel like they won't know what to do, although they're probably perfectly capable.

EandIMommy86 · April 2014

I try to have DH cut the kids nails instead of me. I am always afraid of accidentally clipping too close to the skin and if he does the nails it will never be my fault should that happen.

Barefoot84 · April 2014

My relationship with my in-laws isn't the best, but I would never worry about leaving them alone with Tumaini. However, I would only leave Tumaini alone with my mother in an emergency.

For one, she's constantly forgetting Tumaini's allergies, and I've stopped her at the very last second a few times before she gave her something dangerous. Once I had to remove food from my daughter's mouth, and she had a small reaction. We have the Epipen and know how to use it, but I never want to have to do so.

Also, she was constantly forgetting us at places when we were young. The secretary at school and the clerk at the pool knew her phone number by heart because they always had to call her to remind her to come get us. And sometimes, my father would get home from work, and be like "Where are the kids?" and SHE WOULDN'T REMEMBER. My father had to go to all the stores and stops she had done that afternoon to see if we were waiting outside, which we had to do when we would realize we'd be left behind.

She also doesn't realize how hurtful her words can be. We've already had a few arguments about comments she made to Tumaini regarding the baby to come (Get ready to not being the baby anymore, your brother/sister is going to steal all the attention, I hope you know Mommy won't be there for you as much soon, etc.). I've already told H I don't want her to come visit the first few weeks after birth. I''m already getting ready for the fight that's sure to happen.

I always said I wouldn't color my hair, that I would allow my grays to grow in gracefully. Yeah, my grays aren't graceful. They're sporadically placed and weirdly straggly. My husband likes to make a game out of randomly plucking them when I don't expect it. X( Hair color, here I come.

Oh, and I'm taking the kids shoe shopping today. I'm a little terrified of going because Em is still in a bad mood from yesterday. Yep, I'm fully intending on taking my pissy toddler to a public place. Poor unsuspecting salespeople. But momma needs out and Em needs new sneakers!

@mandie727 I am not judging you. I just wouldn't keep a BSC animal in the house with a toddler and a baby. I understand things with pets are hard, but you complain about this cat all the time. Why are you keeping her around your family when you have said that you hate her, and that she is crazy / dangerous?

Seems like it's out of a sense of responsibility. It's like the mean and senile relative you still visit at holidays.

Seriously though mandie, I don't think anyone here would judge you if you made the hard decision to put her down. If the vet believes it may be the answer, maybe you should give yourself permission to consider it.

Pandril19 · April 2014

Our house is a wreck. A complete "Don't any adults live here?" wreck.

I'm beginning to think the answer is no.

I can hate her and her attitude all day long but at the end of the day, I took her on 8 years ago and I will continue to take care of her whether I always like it or not.

It's good that you have such high standards for yourself. I hope you know that I wasn't coming from a "just put her down already" stand point. I just wanted to encourage you to allow it to enter the realm of possibility. I've owned a neurotic and dangerous cat, I know what it's like to feel trapped because, despite everything, you love your pet.

I support your decision to keep her completely, just wanted to let you know that, at least here, we'd understand if you needed to let her go.

bumpuser1509193 · April 2014

@mandie727‌ I applaud your commitment, but are you really doing her and yourself any favors by living with an animal you don't love? Some animals just can't be fixed, and that's ok.

bumpuser1509193 · April 2014

Ok, my confession...
I might loose my financial aid for next semester because I can't find a class that fits in my schedule to avoid Having my mil babysit. I just can't deal with her constantly anymore! I think my sanity would be worth paying tuition out of pocket.

Pandril19 · April 2014

Count me in the "waiting for my cat to run away or die" cAmp. I'll take care of her until then but man I'm looking forward to being pet free

Big E just woke up from his nap and Andrew just fell asleep. I haven't gone to get Emmett because he'll come out and be loud and I just want a few minutes of quiet to myself... so instead I'm watching him play quietly in his crib on the monitor and eating coffee ice cream.

I'm also on cup number 4 of coffee today. We had such a shitty night over here I feel like I need to prop my eyes open with toothpicks. T-4 hours until Daddy gets home.

OH andplusalso (and this one gives me mommy guilt). I and getting frustrated with being Andrew's only food source. So much so that I'm debating supplementing with formula even though I have a good supply. I am just so tired all the time and I feel like a freaking milk machine. I hate pumping and am dreading doing it when I'm back at work. I keep breastfeeding because it's the free option not necessarily for any other reason. I do love the bonding time and I remember how much I missed breastfeeding after Big E was done but it's so consuming when you're in it.

/ranting over

Never ever have mommy guilt for feeding your baby. I remember what it was like pumping. My kids both had such an appetite that even at the age of 2 weeks they were going through 2 oz of breast milk like water and were hungry an hour later. All I was doing when I wasn't interacting with them was pumping. I had a low supply and so I had no choice but to supplement. LO will still thrive on formula and there is nothing wrong with it.

I'm jealous! I've lost track of how many times I've colored my hair. I started finding grays when I was 19 (that's 13 years ago for me). My sister has blond hair, and you can barely see any grays at all, and my hair is dark brown. Maybe I'll think my grays are "graceful" when I'm in my 50s, but I doubt it.

I started finding grays around 19 or 20 too, but as I've aged my blonde hair has turned dark brown. MUCH easier to see those damn things now. I've got this Rogue stripe going on, but the grays aren't thick, so it's not nearly as cool.

I have another confession. I fell into the whole "I'm a mommy, I have no time for my own upkeep" trap when Em was born. I have one pair of pants that semi fits and they are baggy. I am still rocking maternity tops. My leg hair is about as longs as DH's and I haven't had my brows waxed in almost two years. I am heavier than I've ever been in my life. We stay in jammies so much that now whenever we get dressed Em starts talking about going bye bye. I am in a deep funk about it. I'm doing research on healthy eating and today I threw out all the junk food, but I feel hopeless. I am a stress/pain eater and my willpower sucks. With the migraines, MRI, and upcoming injections, that's a lot of stress. I am desperate to set a good example for my kids, but i don't know if I can.

But I'm not coming over to shave your legs.

Well fooey!

Proud of you @bellaxanthe‌ for doing something about it! You girls here on J12 keep inspiring me to try harder. I'm just extra down on myself because I saw a pic of me and let's just say it was a shock. I'll keep plugging away at being healthy. Trying is better than not trying, right?

All this made me go out for hair color today.

lkamenko · April 2014

I have been coloring my hair for 16 years. Sad. But I look ages older when I let my gray roots grow.

@eafogel, GL with starting healthy habits. First steps are the most dificult - you can do it!

@SunshineLady6 sending you hugs and good vibes - nursing baby is a hard job - but so rewarding. I agree with others that it is ok to supplement a little if you can get some rest and skip one night feeding.

My FC - I have bought a bottle of Garcinia Cambogia yesterday without making any research. I understand that it is probably just a fad. I never really did any dieting, and the idea that I can loose weight without dieting and exercise sounded appealing. Plus I just liked the name

nesenotes · April 2014

When I see Emery thrown out as a name on other bmb's a little piece of my soul is sad. When I chose it, no one had heard of it. Now it's EVERYWHERE. So now when I see people throw it out (except for peeps on this board!) I say ew yuck! Emery is awful. Don't use that name! And I totally praise any other name they have but that one.

Yup! Petty 5 year old up in here. :-h

You are a responsible pet owner. I have this exact same attitude. Yes a couple of our animals are annoying and a lot more work than others but just like you, we took them on and we are in it for the long haul.

Too many people toss their animals out when they get tired of them or whatever and it's not right.

I hope you're able to find something to calm her down. Good luck

Is it on the bump? Because you have Emery's name in your siggy, so... LOL

Yup! Still doing it hahaha. Actually one of the girls said twilight is responsible for the upswing. Fucking twighlight. If they notice they will probably think it's a joke, if not +1 for me.

@nesenotes because I'm a twilight lover let it be publicly known that twilight is NOT the reason Emery is popular, the characters name was Embry.

Zip it! OK I took her word for it and probably should have googled. But fuck it I'm telling everyone it's the worst name ever!

I haven't owned a pair of short for like, almost 3 yrs. I hate how I look in them so I wear long skirts or jeans. Jeans in the ATL summer sucks, so I went to buy shorts and a couple of tops.

I fit into my pre-preg size easily in jeans, and went up 1-2 sizes in tops because of the boobs.

I pranced around in front of that dressing room mirror for a disturbing amount of time, strutting, hair tossing, and vamping. A catwalk has never seen the kind of attitude that I was giving that dressing room!

Did you also do a finger snap? It is not complete without a snap!

I look outside and I'm angry. Like violently angry. Another almost foot of snow and now I feel like going postal. I only feel like I can be a good mom when it's nice outside. And it's never freaking nice!

Anyway, my FC still not having much ST. Like maybe once a month. It's sad but I've said all I can to him about it. I think I'm becoming ok with it and that bums me out.
I hear you on the ST. The bad thing is we are supposed to start TTC in May. It's going to take some divine intervention for me to get KU.

DH and I were barely having ST when I got KU with Avery. The only reason we did it that day was because it was his birthday. So it is possible!
