I've been having a really hard time remembering to brush Charlotte's teeth. It was so much easier when I could use a finger brush and she didn't fight or bite me.
My big 4-0 is coming up in a few months, and I am having a hard time dealing with it. Not so much being old, I have been old for a while- it just seems so, I don't know- 'grown up.' I had time in my 30's, now I feel like the final countdown is on. I keep thinking about all I want to do, all I haven't done, what if I die before the boys grow up (yes it can happen at any age, but my dad died at 57- so I'm fareaking.) I know, I know, mucho dramatico.
If little man is nearly as difficult as big kid, I may lose my mind before he hits kindergarten. It honestly feels like the 21 month old is more mature than our 4 1/2 year old these days. On second thought, I may actually lose my mind before big kid makes it to 5...
Brought to you by 3 mornings in a row of tantrums and getting sent home from school on Weds for hitting.
I think I have to pick up SD today. I'm so nervous. I don't so well with confrontation.
Wait, why is there a confrontation? Maybe none of my business. Good luck, stay calm, and just act like a lady. Usually works, if not jab and duck, jab and duck.
BM is crazy cakes. This is our scheduled visitation weekend, so there is no reason for confrontation, but that doesn't mean there won't be any.

oh my gosh. I'm so sorry you guys are still struggling! I wish I had advice, but I don't. *big hugs!*

I think DH feels this way too. He turned 36 yesterday. His dad died pretty youg, 53 and so did his uncle. I think the fear heightened after DS was born.
FFFC: I've been eating all the things lately and my butt has gotten HUGE! I have no regaurd for what's been going in my mouth. I weighed myself this morning and cried. Awesome. I'm joinging WW again today and getting my butt in gear. I want to lose about 30 lbs before Mexico in December. I need to lose 30 lbs. I'm so mad at myself right now.
FFFC: I just ate an entire bag of these for breakfast. It's the 3rd time this week I've eaten a whole bag. I just love them so much.
@IndigoVader, I get scared about "getting old" too. My bio Dad was only 32 when he died...DH is 32 right now, I'll be 32 next year and it constantly freaks me out. I realize my Dad died of a freak thing (aneurysm) but I still think about it. My Grandpa had a heart attack at 62 and my Uncle is having a really hard time with it this year. He turns 62 in 3 weeks. I think it's normal to think about your mortality and be nervous about it. :-)
I realized this morning just how much I have let myself go since DH got sick. I have gained every pound back that I had previously lost and my body is not liking it.
I think I'm getting anxiety as I get older. Everything stresses me out - things that shouldn't. My mind is always racing and mostly about work. I can't "shut off" work and other thoughts that I shouldn't be having when I'm just home relaxing with my family/friends and not at work or anything. I'm basically never relaxed. I really am not sure what's going on with me. My work situation has improved dramatically since last year and it's still not good enough? Why? Most people don't love going to work. What is it going to take for me to feel "normal" again, in that I don't dread going to work, think about it non stop, etc.? My boss is a problem (no one likes her and she is a micro-manager with no work/life balance so challenging all around), but whose isn't? Why can't I just let it go and relax ever?

I have three months until my birthday, which seems like as good a time as any to be back to my fighting weight. I really need to stop eating so much crap, like the doughnut I had for breakfast ...
After @marisakathleen posted last week about the girl she knows who is always falling down drunk, DH and I went out to dinner. I swear I only had two glasses of wine, but I think the combo of drinking them after a long morning run was too much. I was more intoxicated than I've been in years. Not a good feeling.
This is not the day to start, LOL. I know you're kidding but I get super-stressed when we pull into DH's ex's driveway to pick up the kids. My advice would be say as little as possible and try to get the hell out of there as quickly as you can. I'm sorry it's hard. I would be really worried about doing that too.
I punched someone in 6th grade after I blatantly picked a fight with him. Knocked out his front tooth. He hit back, and his mom was so upset with him that I ended up defending him in the office. We became friends after.
I found out later that year that he and his dad both have muscular dystrophy. Yup.
I just sent FIL a text that said "I'll try and clean up down there during nap time." Supposed to be in the context of cleaning up the basement Ugh. So I sent him another text explaining it's the basement. So awkward.
I broke Emma and Beckett's dad's nose after I found out he cheated on me. I did not take the high road that day. I think the truly flameful part is that I'm still not sorry that I did it.

Pretty sure my not-favorite sister told my mom I'm pregnant. My mom just chewed my ass for eating lunch meat from a lunchable. Yup, pretty certain, because that's pretty bizarre.
Gawd my mom and this sister are so far up each others' asses. Other's? Others'? ahhhh!

I don't think that's flameful at all. I like to think that violence isn't the answer to anything. But in that situation? It actually sounds like a perfect answer.
shitty cookies hasn't had his shoes on all morning.
this is not a confession, it's just really annoying me. especially because he's been walking around like that all day.
it's been raining here for almost a week straight. if you're dumb enough to bring your motorcycle to work when the ground is all wet and it's still drizzling outside, I probably shouldn't expect that you'd be smart enough to pack extra shoes to wear. apparently I grossly underestimate the common sense of my coworkers.
@Holly_1007 I LOVE the name Colby! It's a great name. And my favorite kind of cheese is Colby Jack. So I can find nothing wrong with this name.
thanks I just feel like I "settled" with it instead of searching and pushing for something I liked better. I hoped that it would grow on me, but I find myself calling him Colby Wyatt more often than just Colby.

And now I've forgotten them. Shit.

I'm kind of not surprised. Haha
I'm not surprised by this either (I mean this in an endearing way of course)

I still have mine and plan to keep them until after LO #2 is born. Those things were awesome!

I'm a stress non-eater. I went three days without eating last week and two this week. It's so bad
