I haven't seen Frozen. And don't plan to for a while.

I saw Frozen. It was cute but I don't see what all the fuss is about. I think it's because I'm not really into Disney.

How's THAT for a confession: I'm only planning a trip because I feel like the kids should experience Disney while they're young enough to consider it magical. I could never go back and be quite pleased.

I feel the same about Disney. It's kind of meh for me. I agreed to take the girls in a few years bc H really really wants to. If not for his insistence, going would have never even crossed my mind. My parents took me when I was little and I was kind of meh about it then, too. But I did love Epcot.

I love that DS1 was at camp every morning this week but I hated having to drive him every day. It was about a 20 minute drive so it's such a pain to load DS2 in and out of the car. I wish I had someone to do it for me. It was nice having him out of my hair though and he's been so tired afterwards that he takes a nice afternoon nap.

Now next week he goes to a different camp right near the one he was at this week from 8:30-4:30 every day. The driving won't bother me since I'll have such a nice long break everyday

This sounds like I don't want to deal with DS1... He's just so high energy and needs the activity, which is hard to give him here when it's so freaking hot out.

This morning I was all dressed for work and the baby spit up all over my skirt. I wiped it up and couldn't see a spot, so I left it on. I smell a little bit today.

I like Disney fine, but I'm not obsessed with it. I had never been to Disneyland or Disney World until I went with DH while we were engaged. DH and his family, on the other hand, are huge Disney people. With all that said, I loved visiting the parks when we went. And neither one of us was a big fan of frozen. I don't see what all the hype is about. I thought the storyline was kind of stupid and had a lot of gaps in it. And the songs didn't flow in the movie, they seemed like they just stuck songs in to have a song. I like some of the other recent movies like Tangled way better.

I like the storyline to Tangled better, but I like the music in Frozen better- way more catchy to sing along to, especially for kids. Also, I love Jonathan Groff (who voices Kristoff) and I could listen to him talk all day long.

I attempted to paint Emma's toes as I am jealous of all of these other babies cute toes! I failed miserably, she wanted to paint them herself and rubbed the paint off of the only one I painted.

off topic question... do you feel like you are getting your ass kicked by the toddler stage?I think this stage is harder than the baby months, way harder!

This stage is exhausting. I-)

Nope. But C was a super challenging baby. I'll take this age over the first 4 months any day.

I picked up Frozen tonight thinking we'd have a family movie night (that's a thing normal families do, right?) But DD is now in bed after a million tantrums and H is also in bed after tantrums about too many chores, the work is never done, He's sick of the chickens, etc. So I guess I'm going to watch Frozen alone.

Rachelilly23 · June 2014

I'm not a huge Disney person but I can get into it when I'm surrounded by certain people. I've been to Disney World a handful of times, Tokyo Disney when I was in Japan, and have been on a Disney cruise. But I'm still not "obsessed." I like the idea behind the magic of it all and will for sure take the boys especially since we're only a 6.5 hour drive from Disney World.

I like Frozen a lot, but I think it is overhyped as well. I think the songs are some of the best and it is really well done. I enjoyed the storyline. The ending was more unexpected than most Disney movies. I think Tangled was also very good but I didn't like it as much.

DH hates Disney because he thinks everything they make is unoriginal. He was pissed when Disney bought Pixar and claims all of Pixar's work has gone down hill since the buyout. But he'll still submit to my desire to let the boys enjoy Disney.

Yesssssss. Working from home w her has officially become impossible so days I'm home I get up super ridiculously early, work during naps, and super ridiculously late. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it.

BabyCarryingVessel · June 2014

The ups and downs are more than I can handle! So pleasant one moment, so unpleasant the next!

Please tell me these mood swings aren't here to stay!!

Dude my resolve about watching movies has BROKENNNNN. 5:30 rolls around and I'd rather put on Netflix than end up on the news running down the street with my hair on fire.

There are some nights I'm very thankful for doc mcstuffins, Sofia the first, or Jake and the never land pirates. Cause this momma was about to lose it.

LorMor · June 2014

I find this toddler stuff way more exhausting but also so much fun. I'm enjoying watching her get cleverer and cleverer, and she is just such fun to be with (when she isn't being a shit). I am also struggling with being a working stay at home mom - I am broken by the end of the week.

Yes and no. It's so much fun to watch his personality grow and I love to see him discover new things and new ways to play. BUT. I can really do without the temper and screaming when things don't go his way.

louisevoltaire · June 2014

I haven't posted in probably over a week. My confession is that I kind of bottomed out for a little while. I've been a crappy wife and really have been having trouble keeping my patience with DS. Sometimes I'm just an asshole (well, more to my H not DS).

Anyway, I've been working on an attitude adjustment. I love my H, he is a wonderful father. There isn't anything he wouldn't do for DS and I. It isn't fair for him to come home and bear the brunt of my unhappiness/frustrations.

Sometimes I don't put sunscreen on DS before we go out to play. He does like to wear his hat, though!

I just make sure we don't stay out terribly long, or try to direct him to the shade. The sun is getting more intense, so I'll start doing it regularly. I really don't want him getting sunburnt.

Sillygirl85 · June 2014

I can't wait for my summer vacation to start because I'll get to parent without my DH from 9-5
5 days a week for eight weeks.

CnAnA · June 2014

See I'm the mosey-er. But he is a rusher and he drives me nuts. LOL

We had been doing OK with the grocery cart but this past weekend she wanted none of it. One of us had to focus on shopping while the other chased after her repeating "don't touch, leave it on the shelf" every 30 seconds. The whole thing was exhausting.

The funny thing is when i'm by myself, this crap doesn't happen. She sits in the cart and is good. Therefore, i'm blaming dad.

There is some crazy truth to this! DS tolerates me drying him off and dressing him in his pajamas at bedtime (it used to be quite an ordeal but has been improving as time passes). As soon has DH comes in the room he starts resisting and kicking at me. I guess it's for the reaction.
