Not sure if this has already been mentioned (searched but didn't see anything), but did anyone else see Facebook's new statement on breastfeeding pictures? I know this was a thing on the fb group recently with pictures being reported and taken down. Apparently after all the uproar over Wendy Williams breastfeeding comments, Facebook now says, "Photos that show a nursing mother's other breast will be allowed even if it is fully exposed, as will mastectomy photos showing a fully exposed other breast."
@bunnyfungo - If you have the apple care, they cover liquid damage now. You should be able to get it repaired/replaced for either free or super cheap. You can try powering down and sticking it in a bag of rice for a day or two as well. Hope something works out!
I hate all the things today. We keep getting hit by unexpected expenses which are going to make things super tight around here. First I got a $1000 bill from my pension plan. I thought I had already paid it, but apparently not. Then our dog needed $1500 in dental care (cleaning plus extractions, the breed tends to have tooth problems). The big one though is the fact that the original owners/builders of our 2010 house didn't get the landscaping properly graded, so WE got a final notice from the city letting us know there are a bunch of deficiencies that we have to address. The final quote to get everything to code? $7750. 'Cause I have that just lying around while on mat leave. We're hoping we can recoup the costs as non-disclosure from the previous owners, but come on! What a PITA.
So, does anyone else feel kinda sad that their LO can actually entertain him/herself longer now and doesn't your full attention all the time? I feel kinda sad watching LO play on his baby gym, happily, without me! I've spent practically every waking moment of this kids first three months of his life trying to keep him happy, and now he's...happy without me? I mean, I'm loving the new found free time, but, I still feel...nostalgic, haha...oh crap, I'm going to be one of those moms who can't let go...
Random thread is working ISH for me....the lst page is out of order so I just have to go to the next to last page (441) to read the last update lol.
Thanks y'all for not making me feel crazy for the de-evolution of the shirt post. Sometimes I want to b-slap those who don't like a design but dont actually submit anything else.....rawr.
Oh boy. The random from the FB page just pulled the hormone card....
Oh, no really? That's terrible!! I think what was said is : "A couple of months ago I would blame snarky comments on hormones but it's too late at this point"... so no, I didn't really pull the hormone card.

@stephbrim24 Do you know your avatar doesn't work? I kind of feel like it's your signature and you shouldn't change it, cause every time you love tit something it is bigger than everyone else's.
this bothers me every time I see you post or love tit something. I don't know why... pet peeve, I guess.
I always thought her avatar was just a white box? Hmmm...
I know, my bad. My iPad = stupid. I need to get on my normal laptop to fix it and I always get distracted before I can get to it. I promise I'll fix it this week.
So I work as a customer service person over the phone and I was told I was rude and snarky because the customer gave me a sku that we don't have and I asked her if she meant one that was pretty close.
Lady, if you think that was snarky come meet me IRL. You will suffer mightily under actual snark.
@snow527 , @CHPhotoMama , and @kirotea -- better avatar?? Haha...I always assumed it was just my iPad being dumb not showing my avatar. I didn't realize I was torturing you all the same way I was torturing myself. I'm so lazy about personalizing my bump profile -- I figure my posts speak for themselves. @snow527 , sorry if it bums you that I got rid of what pretty much became my signature. I was also known to keep my ticker from when I was pregnant with my first kiddo. I was like 132 weeks pregnant!
Oh and since I said I would... Here is Robert's closet. The door holds his socks and sneakers and some hats. His pants are on the shelf and blankets go on a shelf too. I have a place to store clothes that he doesn't fit him yet so we only hang what fits.
I hate daycare shopping.
And I might have had a meltdown in the parking lot of one of the daycares when I couldn't get the car seat to release from the stroller.
have you found a job since you sold the business?!?!
@CHPhotoMama with DS1's clothes I stored them in those vacuum bags. Not sure what we are going to do with the twins...I'd like to sell what they have outgrown to get some $$$$ but I'm not ready to get rid of everything yet. Also, from my experience if you take it to a consignment store you wont get very much for it but it is super easy/fast vs having a yard sale, selling on a FB site or selling at a consignemtn sale.
Yes I did. I received an offer yesterday which I accepted. I start Wednesday next week. It is both exciting and stressful.
I may have been crying off and on since my meltdown in the daycare parking lot. I know in the long term that I will be a better mommy if I am working, but I feel so guilt ridden at times today. And I know the transition to daycare is going to be tough on me.
It doesn't help that MH is out of town so I am solo on the daycare decision. And when I talked to him and broke down all he says is that he doesn't know why I am going back to work and that I should stay home. Sweet of him, and he doesn't really get it cause he would love nothing more than to be a SAHD. But it just made me cry more. And I don't cry.

We may be moving to Charlotte soon @Futuremrstonyasmith so you'll have to let me know how you like it there!
