I'd like to start off this week by taking a second to bitch about the wood chip I found in my pizza pocket this weekend... Won't be eating those ever again.
I started using myfitnesspal last week. It doesn't have "painting" as one of the exercise options. We spent all weekend hand brushing sealer on over 800 square feet in the basement (it's like painting with peanut butter). I'll be spending this week brushing a second coat by myself. I want to account for those calories burned damn it!!
@Revez that's totally gross, you should contact the company
I'm totally jealous of friends IRL that have husbands home a lot and moms and In laws that always come over and babysit Etc. I want to go to the gym, I want to go to the movies or out to lunch, I want to get a pedicure.. But I don't ever have anyone to stay with the boys-ik that's my life as a mom and I love it completely but I need me time!
While I happily welcomed AF over the weekend after she was MIA last month (2 neg HPT later...) she's decided to come back with a vengeance. Bitch must be a Miley Cyrus fan because she's singing "we can't stop, and we won't stop..."
My new landlord is not local. He is going to be in the area today to work on the house in prep for us taking it over Thursday. He is willing to give me the keys today. Only problem is he can only meet at hours when either myself or the hubby is at work, and we only have one car! I finally agreed to get him to stop at my current place since its just around the corner. I have been fighting this fight now with him for 4 days!
@sftbllstr87 I did! They're going to send me some coupons. I was like "seriously? I bite into a piece of wood and you're going to send me some coupons?" The guy I talked to was so freaking annoying "ohhh I'm so sorry! Well, thankfully no one was hurt. Thank-you for bringing it to our attention."
I'm debating calling back later, getting someone else and being a bigger bitch. I'm just so bad with confrontation.
I don't think my mom supports the fact that I bf. I mention something about him biting recently and I get "well maybe it's time to stop." Or when talking to her about his food and how the doc wants him getting more protein she starts talking about why not give him formula during the day?
Well are you paying for it? I see no reason for him to be getting formula as my supply is fine, he is eating more solids, and the doc isn't concerned about his slow weight gain. He's happy and healthy so back off.
I get the same crap about pumping. My mom is always dropping the "maybe it's time to stop" line. Well mother, I'll stop when I feel like it thankyouverymuch.
I got excited when my customer in Mexico congratulated me for pumping this long! She understood!

This.
Also, E is sick. I'm sick. She didn't sleep last night. Ugh.
Today's bitch is brought to you by my crippling anxiety and the suburbs. I don't drive because I have severe anxiety associated with driving and even riding in cars. DH has started giving me lessons, so I'm working on it, but it might take a while. It was less of a big deal when we lived in the city where I could take the bus everywhere. Now that we live in the suburbs, that isn't an option.
So I'd like to get myself in to see a doctor, but trying to figure out how to get there is going to be a bitch. I'd need to find somebody to drive me/watch baby during my appointment, and I'm already calling in every favor I can to try for babysitting so I can work a few more weekdays to make our busy season easier.
H has been being a giant a-hole the past few days - picking a fight with me over every little thing and snapping my head off anytime I try and say anything about anything.
Oh, and he accused me of not loving our son because I asked for a little me time since I was feeling overwhelmed with working two jobs now, going to school full time and being a mom on top of all that. Nevermind the fact that he gets every freaking Sunday 9-2 off while I take LO to church.
I'm feeling so defeated - I sobbed the entire way to work. I hate being this miserable.
I'll play today. This weekend I drive 4 hours to Florida for my sisters college graduation. I had a blast, left later than expected and when it was all said and done I figured I would be home around 1230-1245. Yea no. I got a flat for the 2nd time in the last 3 months. Go figure I was 45 min from home on a pitch Black Country road with 3 littles by myself. So hubs came out to help me. I had to wait 45 min for him to hurt there, then walk him through the process (he's never changed a tire) and that took about another 20 minutes. By the time we got home it was just shy of 3 am. Jr got up for the day at about 730 after waking twice AFTER we got home. I'm now sitting waiting for a patch. My eyes are burning and I want to sleep.
I have come down with a nasty spring cold. I feel like I've been hit by a bus.
I have finals this week.
DH is swamped with his business, which is awesome but also stressful.
I REALLY want to get our home renovations finished so we can move in. We just have a couple more things to finish up before we can move in, and I feel like it is taking forever. However, feeling like I've been hit by a bus isn't helping with getting the carpet pulled up.
Hopefully we will be able to make a trip down to the Lake of the Ozarks next week with DH to visit one of his clients. They'll let us stay at their hotel, which would be a nice mini vacation.

I am so sorry...... he needs to understand that you having a little time to yourself in the end will make you a happier Mommy.
1) to all you BF and EP moms....kudos! You have my serious respect.
2) @HermansWife, what a douche move H! I completely empathize with where you are and it sucks. I can't imagine not having. Supportive husband to boot.
3)My bitch...why didn't I bother too look at the calendar before planning trips this year?! I have a final tomorrow night and Wednesday night and then we leave at 8:15 Thursday morning to fly to FL to FIL's for a week. So now I have to take care of DS, study, and pack at once. Blah!!!
I just saw s13's "sleep training check-in" and felt super stabby. I'm annoyed. Dh wants to see his aunt on Mother's Day. So I say ok, we'll see her early for breakfast then go see my mom and sisters so I can celebrate my first Mother's Day with them. Well, apparently her kids and husband have a surprise planned for her in the morning and afternoon that day. So I suggest Saturday. Nope, she's working, but she says we should call her kids so we can join them, which means we would miss my family brunch. Wtf. It's my day dammit! I'm annoyed.
aw @Hermanswife thats just wrong. You definitely deserve some "me time". I hope he didn't make you feel guilty about it, trust me, nothing to feel guilty for. Now go get a pedicure, I'll baby sit if I have to..it might take me a while to get there though
TTC since July 2011
HSG normal in May 2012 followed by three unmonitored clomid cycles unsuccessful
Unexplained female infertility (My husband apparently has super sperm)
IUI # 1 Nov 24
BFP Dec 8! EDD Aug 17th, due to Preeclampsia and HELLP, Kylie Penelope was born July 30th!
@HermansWife you deserve you time. I had been talking to DH about it for weeks and finally took an hour yesterday. He seemed totally baffled by the whole thing although he goes for alone time at least once a week.
@MitsB707 it's your first Mother's Day. You get to do what you want. No guilt. He can go visit his aunt on Father's Day if he wants too.

@mitsB707, your day, you decide. Would he want to miss out on his family for yours on his first Father's Day? Men, ugh!
I have another....I'm SO over school. I'm currently stuck in the library studying for finals instead of at home, putting my baby to bed. I hate missing bedtime...DH is always great about texting me a goodnight picture but they make me so sad! Also, it's my freaking anniversary and (like I said) I'm stuck in the stupid library! Suck it school!!
@mitsB707, your day, you decide. Would he want to miss out on his family for yours on his first Father's Day? Men, ugh!
That's exactly why I was trying to be nice and see his aunt, too. I feel like he will try to hold it against me come Father's Day and not want to go see my dad, too. We've actually gotten into arguments already about Father's Fay because he wants to see his grandfather (totally understandable), but doesn't want to "travel" a/k/a drive the 50 minutes north to see my dad/family because we live at a popular summer exit in NJ and the traffic would suck. And since DS is bf and I have no real frozen stash, I would have to take DS with me when going to see my dad, which would make me feel like a douche.

I'm starting to hate holidays.
Maybe make a plan to not see anyone on those days, find another time, and just spend the day as a family? I know that's incredibly hard to do, though. That's one of the few benefits of living so far from any family, no expectation.
Wtf no sickness allowed! I cannot be sick this week! Why am I feeling nauseous. Stomach bug you are not welcome here!
I nominate you to POAS tomorrow!!
Haha No! The baby's been sick! I'm feeling better today, I can't be pregnant although I was thinking that,.. If my next period shows up late I will POAS

My bitch is that I have a super painful stye on my left eye lid that came out of nowhere this morning!!!
My bitch and also maybe baby TMI:
Why does my child decide that 1230--0100am is a great time to take a poop??? Once again another trait she takes from her father. Weirdos
I'm debating calling back later, getting someone else and being a bigger bitch. I'm just so bad with confrontation.
I put light/moderate cleaning. That was the closest thing I saw listed.
I got excited when my customer in Mexico congratulated me for pumping this long! She understood!

@HermansWife Nut punch is in order! What got stuck up his bum?
I would like to bitch at my knees for not being able to keep up with me. Stupid IT band.
