Tuesday RAWV

rachie1019 · July 2014

R: I have a horrible cold (sinus infection?) all of a sudden. I just sneezed so hard I farted. DD1 laughed her booty off.

AW: Nothing good. Feeling sorry for myself. I hate today

(

V: DD1 was awake from midnight to 3:00. She spiked a fever and just cried and cried. I held her for 2 hours straight. The Tylenol finally kicked in so she fell asleep. I am exhausted today. Horrible migraine too. I'm ready to start fresh tomorrow...

raraavis28 · July 2014

I hope your day gets better, @rachie1019! It's still young!

V: I wish I could be one of those moms who can just browse through Target w/ her kids to pass the time.....I can go to Target, and cover some major ground, but if the stroller/cart stops for more than a minute I'll have at least one of the boys melting down.

AW: Despite aforementioned lack of browsing ability, I was able to score some new clothes for the boys.....good deals too!

Random 1: I also impulse bought a box of Reese's No-Bake Dessert Bar mix (the danger of shopping w/o eating breakfast....) It seemed like it would be SO GOOD, but after eating one of those bars my stomach hurts....too much sugar. :P

Random 2 (so these all won't be about Target lol): I haven't had internet access on my Android since last night. It's kind of annoying, but kind of freeing at the same time.

zbeesma86 · July 2014

Sorry Rachie! Hope you feel better!!

Random- z doesn't want to nap today.

Aw- DH & Z went on a walk today & brought me back flowers

@rachie1019‌ feel better soon!

Random: bump meets real life. my neighbors on either side are in a fight. Neighbor A put a bunch of furniture out marked free. Neighbor B picked it up and had a yard sale and was selling the stuff for $30 to $50. Neighbor A is mad. WTF you left it out for trash. Just a sahm trying to make ends meet

AW: my tomato and green beans are thriving!

Vent: made a giant pot of plum jam but didn't have time to can so I put the whole pot in the fridge and I now have to bring back to heat and can. But I'm so over the plum jam process. Why did the F'ing squirrels eat all my peaches and none of my plums!

Plum Jam sounds absolutely amazing.

rachie1019 · July 2014

R: DH travels OOT for work early tomorrow until late Thursday. He has already offered to watch the kids tonight so I can go to Old Navy and Target alone. My ON coupon expires tomorrow and I am NOT taking all 3 kids to ON. No thank you!! My migraine is no better. Do I suck it up, take a Tylenol, and go? Or lay in bed feeling sorry for myself? LOL! I don't want to wash my hair.

( I know, FWP yo.

HeatherS2010 · July 2014

Random- My son thinks pickles are a good dessert.
AW- the boys are playing nicely today and DS1 is even acknowledging that DS2 has toys that belong to him. This is especially great because they are lucky they didn't hurt each other yesterday...fighting all day long...
Vent- my car is in the garage all day today so we are stuck at home. It's nice to be able to go somewhere if we want.
Also, my MIL keeps telling me DS1 "isn't ready for preschool" and will behave poorly there. He's 3.5 years old and was grumpy when she visited last night at 6 pm.

She means well. I just get sick of her negativity.

R. I woke up at 2 am and could not get back to sleep. So I made DH breakfast in bed, Belgium waffles.

Vent. DS had a poopsplosion this AM. Gag.
Vent2. I'm FUCKING tired.
Vent3. DS needs to stop refusing nap so I can nap. Hashtaglazysahm .

Yep this is pretty much MY day too, minus the waffles of course. A tired gif perhaps?

rachie1019 · July 2014

LOL perfect thanks

Sounds like my MIL exactly. She doesn't even realize she's being so rude and harsh. But boy, can she ever piss me off! I do have to believe she means well too.

Mine doesn't.

Doesn't mean well? I'm not convinced mine does either. Maybe one out of ten times? Wine helps.

Despite my efforts, I have met people I really like and dammit if I wouldn't call a few of them friends.

What what? Are you moving?
I wish. My H is trying really hard to get a job with the option to transfer to Denver but he hasn't heard anything yet. I think I have been in denial all this time about how long we would actually be here.

Come to Iowa with us. ! lol

Indiana, yo! INDIANA

minerswife17 · July 2014

Random: I am freaking exhausted today. Like, I've already dozed off on the couch a few times.

AW: DHs superintendent tells him everyday to meet him after work in his office to sign him over to become a boss. He's been nagging for a couple weeks, but it's a lot to think about. So many pros and cons.

Vent: DHs aunt isn't doing well, at all. He is closer to her than anyone else any in his family. I just want her to be okay.

Yep join the tired club! That would be great for your DH! Sorry to hear about his Aunt. Has she been sick a while?

Cherryblossoms07 · July 2014

Vent: The neighbor girl is driving me crazy!! She is three, lives across the road, and keeps sneaking out of her house and into ours! The first time it happened DH and I were lounging on the couch (DH only in underwear) after the kids went to bed and all of a sudden she is in our living room. Yesterday I made sure to shut the garage door as soon as we got home from swimming (so she wouldn't sneak in which is her usual MO), but I forgot the back door when I let the dog out and she snuck in and woke up the kids from their naps. I've talked to her mom about it but it hasn't done any good. I hate feeling locked in my house so we can get some privacy.

Ugh, I heard a noise at the locked door while I was typing this.

AW: The kids are both doing great at swimming lessons. DS never hesitated to leave with his instructor. He even blew bubbles in the bath last night with his entire head emerged in water!

Random: DD wants a horse. She had her argument thought through - he can share the dog bed with our dog and we have apples in the fridge already. So why not, right?

If I had a choice, you think I would choose Iowa over Indiana? Like, on purpose?

Oh I know all this. I just know you have family here. Well, and ME!!! You said maybe 8 months in Iowa and you can be relocated to Indiana? Maybe you all will love Iowa. You never know!

LMAO!!! Ok sorry, but to seriously think of your DH laying in his underwear and the neighbor girl just waltzes right in. WTH? My DH would DIE.

Well, she's in an assisted living home and had been doing and feeling great. She's 82 I think. We just saw her a month ago and she was in great health. But over the weekend SIL texted me and told me DHs aunt was transferred to a hospital, has pneumonia, and 1 of the meds the hospital put her on shut down one of her kidneys. I've tried to get an update for today but haven't heard anything back.

rachie1019 · July 2014

Oh no @Luckey4‌ I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending lots of prayers and HUGS!!

rachie1019 · July 2014

Hahaha OMG @gwapes‌ go to the "Humpies Poll" thread. @rainbowdasher‌ just posted about googly eyes. Is this what the girls' kids looked like? LOL

Cherryblossoms07 · July 2014

@rachie1019‌ Yes, DH was not happy to say the least. He grabbed one of the kids' toddler sized blankets that was within arms reach and side stepped his way upstairs while I grabbed my shoes to walk her home.

dizzycooks · July 2014

Random: I feel like the housework is slipping out of control around here. And I want chocolate. Or wine. Or dried cherries.

AW: My children are sleeping?!?

Vent: I need a few more hours in the day, I want more sleep and more time to do fun things.

Random: I accidentally had sex without a condom last night. If I get KU, we're going to have to take up a collection to pay my bill at the looney bin.

Vent: Kids. Screaming. A lot.

AW: I was lazy and unmotivated this morning and was going to skip playgroup. DH felt bad and took Joey and they had a great time. I stayed home with a sleeping baby on me watching tv. It was glorious.

Oh @Kimbus22‌ women are really fertile after having a baby...

\:D/ \:D/

lexusolsen · July 2014

R: I've been in hold to schedule a therapy appointment for ten minutes. My health care has an awful lullaby as background music. It doesn't change, it just starts over when it is done.

AW: I'm having a rough day (that even the gym didn't fix) and I'm drowning my sorrows in watermelon instead of eating dd's vanilla wafers.

V: I'm getting random cramps and pains which are getting worse and more frequent as I work out regularly. I'm hoping it's not related to my csection in March.

What the Hell was her MOTHER doing? I am so afraid our future neighbor will be the same way once their house is finished. Too soon! Except the creeper is like 55-60. She knocks on the door, and when I open it she slips her shoes off and races to our great room. WTF? Come on in? I've caught her looking in our windows.

HeatherS2010 · July 2014

I think I like to think she means well. She is just incredibly pushy and doesn't think ds1 should go to preschool because she'd miss him too much. She's a bit much. It's 2 hours/3 days a week. She only visits once a week, so not sure how that adds up.
Makes me glad we live 1 hour away sometimes.

Cherryblossoms07 · July 2014

@rachie1019‌ Her mom always makes an excuse that she sneaks away from home without her knowing. I have no idea what goes on over there for this to happen, especially so often. Even worse, when it is time to go home she kicks, screams, and tries to hide.

Lol! You win! At least our intruder is three. Worse comes to worse, I can pick her up and drag her out.

rachie1019 · July 2014

Hmm do you think her home life is stable? You said talking to her mom about it hasn't done any good. So rude that she doesn't respect your privacy. Weird!! When I was 4 I had a neighbor friend who was 5 and she was literally free to run the streets all.summer.long. Her family just didn't care! Her parents were weird and she had 3 older brothers. She was at our house often. My Dad felt so bad for her. She was sometimes barefoot and always starving. Then she just stopped coming around. I never even saw her at school. Ever! We moved to another neighborhood a few years later. We went to HS together where I later learned she was sexually molested by her oldest brother for years, and her mom KNEW about it. So very sad

Umm yeah I can't carry Teresa (new neighbor) out of my house. DH told me to never let her inside again. She has already threatened to call HOA on us if we leave our garbage cans out or if we have toys all over our yard, which neither will happen. And she doesn't even LIVE HERE yet. She is going to be a nightmare...

caybeh · July 2014

AW: DS and I are Skyping with our friends that moved a month ago after the kids wake up from naps. I'm so excited. DS has been talking about this little friend off and on since they moved. I'm excited to talk to the mom too. It will be so fun!!!

Vent: I'm so tired of being tired. I know it won't get any better once I have the baby either. I hate being awake every morning from 4-6. Ok some mornings, it's just 5-6. But come on body. Why???

V2: I think I'm becoming a crabby pregnant gal due to always being tired. I don't like being crabby, but gosh I just feel crabby.

Cherryblossoms07 · July 2014

I don't know much about her home. I know her mom and her live with her grandma and grandma's boyfriend and they moved in recently. She doesn't appear to have any issues beyond not knowing boundaries (fwiw, I know a person cannot always tell there are issues at home and I am not specially educated in that area). I think her mom is just extremely lax with her.

rachie1019 · July 2014

*Back Story: We went to our neighborhood block party for the 4th on Saturday. We had already met some neighbors at the pool and liked them. Well we got along SO well that we invited them back here for drinks. The kids all trashed DS' bedroom. I have been avoiding cleaning it and am making him do most of it.

R: I keep coughing and coughing today. I was in the kitchen and said out loud "Ugh I need to throw up." DS heard me of course. He said "Then go to the bathroom." I told him I was going to puke in his toy box since it's empty. He ran upstairs to put his toys IN his toy box. I WIN! But not without first saying "Hey Mommy, you can always puke in the kitchen sink like Daddy did after the fireworks party." Ugh MOTY!!

rachie1019 · July 2014

R2: I am upstairs and the kids are all downstairs. I still have the monitor on to the girls' room from their naps. I keep hearing random whispers and foot steps over the monitor but NO one is in there. WTH? 8-X

Why are you bumping? Get out now!

Lindsay9911 · July 2014

Maybe I'm being overdramatic but if a 3 yr old was consistently getting out of her house and ending up at yours without her parents even noticing, I would be tempted to notify CPS to at least do a welfare check.
It just sends up red flags to me.
That's not just lax parenting.

I hear weird sounds All. The. Time. And it's a brand new house. @CnAmom‌ would understand.

LoveBeingMama · July 2014

Just some Vs right now: after being at home for two years, I am going back to teaching this fall. I have extremely mixed feelings about it and as it gets closer to August, I am starting to go into full-blown panic mode. In the meantime, I am searching for a nanny and the process isn't going so well. I want to cry.

JMC11511 · July 2014

Random: I have a new piano student starting today.

AW: I bought two pairs of shorts yesterday. They were a size smaller than I usually wear, and because of coupons and Kohl's cash, I paid nothing for them!

Vent: decided to start potty training today. So far he has pee'd in his underwear twice and refuses to pee or poop on the potty. Maybe I was wrong about him being ready...

rachie1019 · July 2014

R: My Mom and I always text each other before bed to say Good Night. We have a guest room in our new house, which is pretty much HER room since she visits pretty often. I just sent her a text, saying I'm sleeping in here tonight because I have a cold. Her response was "Oh WTH??" I re-read my text...

Me: "I am sleeping in your room tonight. I can't sleep in my bed because I am getting dick and don't want DH to get a cold."

I typed DICK, not sick. Ugh my poor Mom!! Proofreading is my friend...
