Also, Camden's breath smells like Mac N Cheese today. Weird.

@Cheenomae, a friend of my had her surgery a few weeks ago and looks INCREDIBLE. She took it easy for a week (and is still not swimming or carrying heavy things) but otherwise is totally back to normal- activity wise. Actually, she's in Vegas right now!

In other words, good luck and it will be awesome!

Weeeee! Good luck @Cheenomae‌! The creep in me wants before and after pics #sorrynotsorry

I just made a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for lunch. It was whole wheat bread, so it's ok, right? RIGHT?!

Don't mind me. Just love titting. You guys don't even want me to contribute to this thread today, trust.

I may or may not have been obsessively thinking about you lately and wondering how you're doing.

oh thank you! some days are easier than others, as I'm sure you know. I'm at a different point than he is. I'm ready to discuss visitation and splitting up furniture. He hasn't found a place to live yet,so he isn't ready. I am submitting job applications all over the place, trying to figure out child care and such. It's hard. Eta: words are hard too

Clarification: love-titted because I'm proud of you and how brave you are to do what you need to do for the good of your family, even with all of the obstacles.

Ethan has puppy breath. If I tell him he needs to brush his teeth, he laughs and says "Puppy bref!"

I declare every day after DD goes to the babysitter's to be called Hell day. Oh my god it's so bad.

I hope you are starting to look into other child care situations. This isn't fair to you or dd

I really really want to. That's my gut reaction every time something feels off. But it isn't fair to switch DD all the time either. I'm conflicted. She is comfortable there. She gladly goes every time. I think she's happy while she is there. She's happy when we pick her up. She sleeps and eats well there. I know she's quiet and sweet when at the sitter's. All she does is watch and observe the other girls' behavior. Then she comes home and copies it in the comfort of her own home. I think being in a center in a class with kids her own age would be best, but it's impossible to find with my part time and somewhat irregular work days. I feel stuck.

have you looked into a preschool program?

jenndub · July 2014

DH leaves town tomorrow for 5 days. It's an extremely busy 5 days, which is nothing new, but I always feel like I deserve a reward when he's gone. The kids and I made a "Treats Calendar" last night. Tomorrow night is apple pie and vanilla ice cream night. I'm very excited. I think this is the best countdown calendar we've ever made.

Cheenomae · July 2014

@amandad715, I should have said, "pun intended"! ha ha. We are so mature. duh!

Thanks, @pharmer79 and @holly_1007. I'm way excited and my DH is way nervous. He's seriously so scared I'm going to go too big. ::evil laughs::

Holly, my bff just had hers done 3 weeks ago and she sent me pictures almost daily for the first week and a half so I could watch the progress. My DH said to me the other day, "don't send Stef a pic of your boobs after you get them done." I asked him why and he said, "I'm scared she'll show her DH." I laughed so hard. Ok, what if I take pics that don't include my face? Kiddingnotkidding!!!

oh shit Holly, how did I miss this ? I knew you guys were having problems, but didn't know it had gone this far. I'm so sorry.

There's a kid in my boss' office right now, who is trying to get a job that he made up himself in our office.

He wrote a "proposal" for my boss, giving himself the title "Entrepreneur in Residence", despite being like 25 and not a successful entrepreneur.

He is now arguing with him over the fact that he would accept a very low salary, and my boss is all "You don't understand, we have $0 coming into our office right now."

What an entitled, whiny little asshat.

I think I'm going to lose my ever-loving mind DD has now been throwing a 90minute fit about breakfast. She keeps telling me she's hungry and asking for breakfast, but when I try to put her in her chair major melt down restarts.

I feel terrible that I have two days left alone with her and I can't stand her attitude/behavior. I just want to do fun stuff with her before her little world gets turned upside down, but she's driving me NUTS.

I'm only this far, but I totally get this. I go back and forth trying to really embrace these last few days with just Eddie and Mama at home and...reality. I'm sure you're doing a great job:)

L is pretty much over any containment device. She refused to be strapped into her booster a few weeks ago, so we put her up ther unstrapped. She has been climbing up on her own for months, so this seemed like a logical step. Now she won't sit in her booster at all.

She eats half her meals in her kitchen helper, and the other half sitting in a chair, no booster, head barely above the table. I need to get some taller chairs if she isn't going to sit in a booster any more!

A few random things since I was on vacation for the last two weeks:

Vacation was awesome. I love being home. So so so much. The town is great, there's plenty of things to do/places to eat. I had a great time with my family. My identical twin and I have never been super close, and I never thought we would be (especially since I live so far away). Nope, I think we'd totally be BFFs now if I lived up there. It was so cool to just hang out and meet up for lunches and stuff. I really hate having to come back here. Blah.

I got to meet my new niece. She's adorable, of course. My brother and his girlfriend are doing so many things that make me cringe: he swipes his finger across bacon grease and puts his finger in her mouth, they give her prune juice in her bottles for consitpation, they put the carseat in the front seat of shopping carts, they put her in the hot tub at the hotel, brother's girlfriend constantly says how mean/bratty/naughty baby is being and also calls her fatty... I'm sure there's more. Guys, my niece just turned one month old. Yes. The only one I said something about is the bacon thing. My brother got so defensive and shitty. He's like that about everything. On the plus side, my brother is getting up with her in the night, doing most of the diaper changes, and even traveled alone with her. DH never has done those things, so I'm impressed.

We got our house tented for termites while we were gone. Now I feel the need to everything. Yuck.

I'm super hooked on the show Veronica Mars now. I've been up until 3:30 the last two nights watching. I'm so tired but I can't stop.

PenelopePond · July 2014

I know @IndigoVader and I feel like a shit for not saying more. I told my mom my concerns and she agreed with me. She's able to talk to him better than I am, so I hope she says something.

kdsmith43 · July 2014

Also, I won't remember this for FFFC: yesterday when I picked T up from school, I went to grab the peice of artwork above his cubby to take home - and the teacher said "oh, those are just there to dry so we can hang them tomorrow."

Um, I looked around and none of T's artwork is hanging in the classroom. That is because I have taken them all home. OOPS!!

I guess I didn't really know pre-school existed for 2 year olds. There are a few "learning centers" I've called. No one does part time. And their full time rates are insane when I only need twice a week.

the preschool that keagan goes to has a toddler program that starts at 18 months. It is as often as you want. He started it at 2.5 years attending 2 mornings a week. They are super flexible. Ask around!

MarisaKathleen · July 2014

@penelopepond, hopefully your Mom will say something. both of my SILs do/did totally ridiculous things with their newbies. I couldn't understand any of it, but learned very quickly that it went in one ear and out the other because they thought I was being a know it all. No, I'm not a know it all, I'm just not an idiot either. You don't give a 2mo old baby a Ritz cracker. You don't put your not even 3mo old baby in a chlorinated pool lathered up in sunscreen. People are idiots.

Her chair is just a tall ikea chair (so she can reach the table) no straps. She was fine at lunch so hopefully we've moved on...

I'm net-battling DH's cousin on FB about the HL stuff. He is clearly unarmed. This is getting fun.

Awesome news: Nordstrom Rack now has a website. It's glorious. I have $130 worth of things in my cart that I won't pull the trigger on because I'm too fat to wear any of it until this baby has arrived.

Other news: My other pregnant co-worker told off shitty cookie guy while I was on vacation last week. He's been kissing her ass ever since. I wish I could have been here. He couldn't understand why she's been "so distant" and she flat out told him that he's an egomaniac and the appropriate thing to say when someone announces their pregnancy is NOT "My wife and I hate people like you." Apparently he was really shocked. there's also a picture of him on out staff homepage wearing a Princess Jasmine costume with no pants underneath it for Relay for Life. I wish I could crop his head out and show you guys. It's totally disturbing.

Do it @marisakathleen! This guy sounds like such a freak.

I have been trying since yesterday. I'm too inept at computer things to figure out how to do it. I copied the pic from our site to word and can't save it as a jpeg.

I sent the whole thing to DH who was offended that I would try to ruin his workday with something so stupid. It was pretty funny.

@MarisaKathleen, can you save the photo to your desktop then open it in Paint to crop out the head?

This could definitely be an exchange between my DH and I. Love it.
