The sun is shining so put your problems to rest here and enjoy your day.

My body lotion in the bottle is too low for the pump to work so I have to swirl and wipe the pump stick off in my hand. It's like I'm giving the lotion bottle a hand job, but I can't waste it so I keep doing it.

I am at work. That counts right. My cramps are killing me and it's dreary here. I want to be in bed.

NeneCakies · April 2014

@CTGirl30‌, Mother Nature messed up my order for sunshine again! I was very clear it was to be shining everywhere. But pretty hair is a good trade.

All I want to do today is take a hot bath and crawl back into bed with netflix. But I have to parent instead.

MrsT0514 · April 2014

We're getting pissed on by all the rain here too. Bleh.

But on a good note, I have my appt with the ENT doc this afternoon! I am really hoping this doc can work some magic on my seemingly never ending sinus infection!!

I failed my one hour GD test and I am right now in the middle of my three hour. I could not find a babysitter and Oliver is sitting here with me for three fucking hours. They have barely a signal for internet so his tablet time keeps getting interrupted.

I hate my keurig sometimes.I limit myself to 2 cups in the morning and 1 in the afternoon sometimes because anymore then that it gets expensive. I really want more coffee this morning. I wish I had regular coffee so I could make a pot.

insertclevername · April 2014

I got five consecutive hours of sleep for the first time since the baby was born. If I had gone to sleep a little earlier I could have gotten six straight hours, but I had to tidy up for the cleaning lady . I really want a cup of tea but do not feel like walking to the Starbucks that is less than 1/2 a block away.

Get a My K Cup. You can use reusable coffee grounds. It's slightly less convenient, but not much. No idea how much they cost as it came with our Keurig...might be mute cost effective to buy a cheap coffee maker.

I have a friend coming over with her kids for a play date in about 30 minutes. And I'm sad because that means I need to put on pants.

Oh, I have one. I never thought the coffee tasted good enough, strong enough so I stopped using it. I actually have a very nice coffee maker that we got when we got married.

Yay for sleep @NYMama1! This makes me so happy for you.

Thanks @clairefraser ! It felt good to get a stretch of sleep longer than 2-3 hours. I hope baby girl's rash is getting better and she is doing well.

DreadLoc · April 2014

my mom told me today that she would take me out and buy a complete new outfit but it can't be a dress. i'm super excited but a sundress was the first thing i thought of before she mentioned her stipulation.

I'm so jealous of your sleep!! But happy for you

DH put chocolate cake in my lunch yesterday but not today. And my chewy granola bar this morning was stale as fuck and I had to throw it out. This certainly means I will be on the hunt for office treats later.

my5sons · April 2014

1 LARGE cup of coffee down...

many more to go!!!

aforst · April 2014

My OB was on Spring Break last week and doesn't work on Mondays, so today was the first day that I've gotten to see her since my water broke. I thought for sure we'd discuss a concrete plan/date to deliver this girl, but she didn't. She seems torn on letting me stay pregnant longer and delivering at 34 weeks. Part of me wants her in there as long as possible and the other part of me wants to know when this will be over. Wah. Wah.

secretsout · April 2014

I have a super FWP. It's going to make me sound like a brat, but it is on my nerves today. My parents own a beach house. I would really like to have the chance for my husband, son, and myself to go spend a weekend there on our own, but my sister insists on coming with us each time we go. She literally ruins every vacation we take by having dramatic fits over nothing, she walks around without pants on while my husband is there, she gets mad if we aren't quiet in the mornings but it is kind of impossible to keep a toddler quiet at 10am, and the house is small.

Last year, I merely suggested that he and I would like to go without her--just once, and she twisted it and created so much drama that everyone was mad at me for days. She is probably going to come with us every single time we go, and I can't even hint that maybe we'd like some alone time because it turned into such a shit show last time.

We can't afford to take a vacation somewhere else this summer so we're kind of stuck with it, and I know that it could be way worse but it's really on my nerves today.

Took in DD to the pediatrician this morning after she puked on me at 11pm and DH at 6am. Double ear infection.

Ugh. I hope she feels better soon.

Benadryl makes my daughter's allergies better but makes her an obnoxious terror to be around. She is so whiny and destructive

BluepointToasted · April 2014

I have to work 3 more whole days before I am off for two weeks.

insertclevername · April 2014

I ate a bunch of Starburst jelly beans and now I have a stomach ache.

Helenahhandbasket · April 2014

My manicurist put too much polish in my nails (like thick, gloopy layers) and now they are chipping ALREADY (got a mani on Sunday).

lildevil968 · April 2014

I made both of my kids endure trying on their last years summer clothes to see if they fit. Both of my kids outgrew all of their summer clothes, ans shoes. DD is now in junior size clothing, and womens shoes. I want to curl up in a ball, and cry!

New FWP. The cupcake shop has been visited and is freaking delicious. So now THIS is available about 50 feet from our apartment.

I simultaneously love and hate you for this picture.

I feel like I can't work out guilt free tonight (leaving DS with DH) because DH is watching DS Friday night while I go out with my friends and all day Saturday while I go to a bridal shower and then...go out with my friends.

Fuck this shit!!!!

You are a grown ass woman and you should be able to vacation without your sister. I think she keeps doing it cause you allow it. If the beach house is there for family to use then you should be able to use it. I would let them know I want to go on this date with my DH and kid and that is it. If it is a problem then say fuck it and don't go.

WTF?! That is like vacation blackmails.

And why the fuck do you let her walk around your DH with no fucking pants on????!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so disrespectful. I am sure I don't have all the info but we teach people how to treat us - don't let people mistake your kindness for weakness.

--Stuck in your box--
The end ruling from my parents was that family is always allowed to come no matter what. Fine, their house, their rules. We didn't go to the beach that weekend. I cannot suggest that we get alone time again, so either we don't go to the beach at all or we just deal with her. We don't want to give up all of our beach time so we will probably just take our chances and hope that she acts normal.
I hear what you are saying about allowing her to do this. And you're right. I've allowed her to walk all over me for a long time. Over the last year I have been sticking up for myself more, but it's a departure from the norm so it is throwing everyone off. I'm supposed to be the happy quiet one who puts up with everyone's shit. I told my parents last year that I wouldn't vacation with her ever again. Of course in the moment they back me on that, but they won't back me up in any real way.
She walks around my husband in just a t-shirt and underwear because that's what she does. I've talked with my husband about it. I've talked with my parents about it. I've said something to my sister about it, but she just turns it around on me that I'm jealous of her. My mother says she doesn't mean anything by it, but she did talk to my sister and told her not to do it anymore because it "bothers" me. They think I'm being silly. But I know her better than they do.
It's all fucked up and I don't deny that. It annoys me that the house will sit empty if I don't go and "let" her come with us. But, my parents have made it clear that I cannot keep her from coming, period. So, as you said, either we say fuck it and don't go, or we just deal with her.

secretsout · April 2014

@CTGirl30 My parents usually tell her. Not in any malicious way but as a topic of conversation I guess, or she sees it on their calendar. She lives with them. I've considered asking my mom just to not mention it. Like, not lie, but not volunteer, but I don't think she'd go along with it.

I know this all sounds stupid, but my sister is volatile, and I cannot change her, so I just have to figure out how to work around her.

I'm just mad because I can't take a bunch of free vacations this summer without paying for it one way or another, hence the FWP :P

secretsout · April 2014

@CTGirl30 she is 31. I think I've mentioned this about her before--she is an actual adult. She has a lot of issues, some of which are being addressed finally. No one wants to put their foot down with her because you never know how it will go.

@piffle42 thanks for the advice. I've tried talking to my mother and father, and while they understand, they won't "pick sides" and will not bar her from coming. My sister takes it as a personal insult if I say I would like to go without her--she doesn't see it as a reasonable request.

Maybe I'll just start sneaking down in the middle of the night and not tell anyone. There's honestly not a real solution to this (that would actually happen), other than for me to either put up with her and hope for the best or not go at all.

Couldn't you just make the trip miserable for her? It's petty but obviously she's just as bad. Walk around half-naked, have LO hang all over her and scream. Just generally be obnoxious and cause drama right back at her.

After all, nobody else is supposed to 'take sides'.

wiggyslilsis · April 2014

Thanks @Wordsmith26‌

Definitely seasonal allergies and I think some dust allergens because we are movingand stirring everything uup. (Plus there are fucking mouse nests in the heater vents...we just found out about).

If she is still miserable after we move this weekend I will be taking her to the pedi to see what else she can take. Benadryl is just no fun for her...I also realized today that it makes her really hot.
