I would pay at least $20 for ice cream man ice cream today. I want one of those Ninja Turtle popsicles with the gumball eyes so bad. Or the Pink Panther. Shit, I'd even settle for the Sponge Bob.

All week we've been going places in the morning, and to the park/splash pad in the afternoon my sole motivation has been to avoid needing to bend over and pick up DD's mess at night and or clean my house.
Bending over has become my nightmare.
I plan to continue on this plan until July. No cleaning for this lady!

So every summer, H has those freezers brought into the dealership like they have on ice cream trucks & in gas stations that have all of the awesome ice creams.
There's one in every building, each one containing ~$400 in ice cream (BIL likes to remind me of this when I decide that going out for ice cream means walking into the showroom).

Come to my house at 9 p.m. He'll be there. X(
I saw that on IG! And I was actually jealous. I would have bought EVERYTHING.

Oh man, us too. In what universe is the money making time in a neighborhood chock full of kids under the age of six, 8:30pm or later?
In the "I'm Really Selling to Potheads With Munchies" Universe. At least that's what it looks like in my neighborhood.
I don't give a crap about seeing any family except my immediate family when we go home in a couple weeks. The only reason my mom wants to do a meet the baby shower for my niece is so that all of my aunts and cousins can come hang out with us. I haven't seen or spoken to these people in years. I know it sounds cold, but I just don't care. We won't be there that long, and I'm dreading wasting time when we could be spending quality time with fewer people.
Also, DH and I are trying to schedule a date night. he asked me what I want to do and I told him I honestly just want to go to a dive bar, eat crappy bar food and talk for 6 hours like we used to before kids. I'm a cheap date I guess.
This sounds great
I want draft beer and food that doesn't require utensils. That sounds like the ideal date night, IMO.
That's most of our date nights, lol. Cheap bar food at a place where we'd never bring the kids.
Looks like we won't be getting SD for our Father's Day camping trip. I can't even get any more worked up about it because it is so far out of my hands at this point. I have spent way too much energy on this shit in the last week. The flameful part is that since it will be our first time camping, I'm looking forward to the fact that it will hopefully be a little bit easier with only 2 kids.

I don't think that's flameful. May as well look at the bright side. I'm sorry, that sucks.
I feel like this is super flame worthy. I'm taking DD with DH and I to meet someone off Craigslist to get a stroller. I never meet anyone for CL purchases. I handle all communication and act like I'll be the one picking up and then last minute tell them DH will be picking up. No one messes with him.
Since it's a stroller, I need to go to check it out. Which means we all have go because I'm not going without DH. We are meeting in the middle of the mall though. That makes me a feel a little bit better.
I see no problem with this as long as you're meeting in a public place.
I really want to name this kid Julian since DH won't give in to Lennon. And it may or may not be because I have a mega crush on Julian Casablancas from The Strokes (and I also love Julian Lennon). But it would work because the first time I ever spoke to DH, it was about The Strokes. And it would fit the literary theme I have going because Julian is the real name of Bean from Ender's Game. And that is DH's favorite book. Man, I'm really reaching here.

The ice cream man here always comes right at 6pm... At least at 8:30/9pm I could get myself some ice cream. I can't justify it for anyone right at dinner time.
I've never paid for a sitter either. We don't have family nearby, but we swap babysitting with friends so we can all get the date nights we need. Knowing other desperate parents, for the win!

Ours only ever comes through right around 6 p.m., as we're sitting down to dinner.

I guess my confession is that L has been to several of these places. At least it was for lunch?
Kid #1 - 09/03/12
Kid #2 - maybe???
Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube #11 or IVF with scarring still inside? 1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh

We're camping for one of my best friend's birthdays tonight and tomorrow. We're going to this beautiful place in the high desert but I am FUHREAKING out because that park has snakes in it. Not really in the campground, where we will spend our time, but in proximity. I thought for about 3 seconds about making up an excuse but it's her 30th birthday, and I want to go camping and we've all had a really bad few weeks so we all need this. I feel like such an asshole for freaking so hard about a hypothetical snake.
When we camped in the Upper Peninsula a few years ago, we found out the area had a high black bear population density. I slept with my "bear knife" under my pillow. I'm sure it would have done a helluvah lot of good (in opposite world...), but I felt better. Maybe you need a snake trident or something.

I don't think that is flameful, three kids on a camping trip is hard, yo.Yes it can be done, but it can be stressful. Looks like life handed you some lemons and you are trying to find the positive here. Grab some tequila and do shots.
I'm trying to insert a gif of ripping shots but it's not working
My sister and I are bringing my brother and his girlfriend to blue man group tonight as their graduation present. DH was supposed to have all three kids tonight and tomorrow morning while I slept in. I really don't think he has ever put all three to bed on his own. Well, we aren't getting SD tonight, so he just has the boys. I can't even count how many times I've been alone with all three kids, I'm a little disappointed he is "getting out of it" even though it was because of BM that we don't have her.

Dude! I live in the UP. Where did you camp? I got so excited when I saw "Upper Peninsula." Almost no one knows we're even part of Michigan up here!
I was just at Walgreens and spent $45 on freaking cards. Since when does a piece of paper that says "Happy Father's Day" on it cost $5.99? Dear god. I'm going open a Hallmark store again since ours closed a couple of years ago. I'd be rolling in the dough!
There's a guy with an office in our suite, he's from somewhere in Asia, and I cannot understand his accent (and normally I am pretty good).
He always stops to talk to me, so I am friendly and aim to understand every few words.
Well the other day, he is telling me a story, and from what I gather, it's about him getting a good deal on something from Walmart, and he's kind of chuckling...so I laugh also.
The next words out of his mouth, which remarkably I understood clear as day were "I guess that's just how pathetic my life is right now..."
Our cleaning company just called to say their staff was at our house and couldn't go in because the dog is loose (our dog is a badass, so we cage him and he's flagged on our account so they know he's supposed to be locked up). As I was gathering my stuff to leave the office and plotting my dog's demise for the destruction he inevitably caused after breaking out of his cage and room, they called back. The girls were at the wrong house. I feel like I owe my dog a special treat or something for thinking ill of him.
We need a tree removed in our backyard to make way for a new shed we purchased. I called 2 places locally. 1 got back to me within an hour and said they were so busy we'd be put on a list to come give a quote. Never heard from them again (this was 1 month ago.) I get a call from the second place 2 days after the intial call. We set up a time for them to come give us a quote. They've done work for us in the past. He comes and gives us the quote. I call a few days later to give them the green light, since we had nothing to compare it to with the 1st company never calling us back. That was a week ago. I have yet to get a phone call on when they are coming. I asked them to call first so I could make sure DS wasn't at the house for nap time the day they planned to come. Where is @kdsmith43 's DH when I need someone? And why is it so hard to call a client back?
I've never seen Frozen. I had m&ms for breakfast today We went to a place called The Pint Room for dinner the other night with Nate that had over 100 beers on tap. I had a banana nut bread beer and it legitimately tasted liked banana bread. Dangerous!

Was it Wells? I love that beer! We have a local store that carries it and now I want to go get some for the weekend.
I agreed to write a letter of recommendation for a former summer intern, but I literally have no idea what to say. She was not well-suited for my department, but she's very sweet and reliable, so I have no doubt she could thrive in another line of work. It's just that everything I come up with sounds so banal.

Im not sure, it might have been! All I know was it was amazing! I'd never heard of it before.
@amandad715 I'm excited to be in same BMB w/you. I have minimal symptoms. Perhaps mellow babies? I felt truly connected this am at ultrasound. Thinking of you!
Thx, for thinking of me! I'm happy to be on Jan15 with you too @dimples22
I just gagged & almost threw up in the kitchen sink while I was heading to the garage to throw out Will's poopy diaper. #yaysensitivenose I am sort of relieved. And this morning the dr's office pretty much said, chill out and we'll see you in 2 weeks at your appt. unless you're spotting or cramping.
