OMG. I just logged on to our electric website to pay our bill, and it gives our "projected bill" for next month. It's estimated to be $215. What the actual fuck. We live in a 900 sq ft duplex. Our bill should NOT be that much. My ILs live in a house that's almost 4 times this size and their electric bill is always less than $200. And the worst part is that I know it's so high because our AC broke last month and it's STILL not working properly. Will our landlord reimburse us for the astronomical bill because his shitty property sucks? Nope. I'm going to be sick. I literally want to cry right now.
That's terrible !! Your landlord should cover that since your AC isn't working properly !

We are now the proud owners of a monkey sit up thing. I can't do "Barbie arms" for long enough for her to enjoy being upright. Thank you random citizen from craigslist for the new baby container.
Round 5: baby (2); mom (1). pics later.
I never know what to say when people ask me if Ellie is a good baby. Like how do you respond to that? "No, she's always sneaking out, getting drunk, and she steals money from my wallet. That girl is out of control." Seriously, she's 4 months old. She eats, sleeps, cries, plays, and poops. What could she possibly be doing that's not "good"?
IMO people are asking if she sleeps well, doesn't cry often, isn't temperamental, has easy to read ques. Ie: doesn't make you want to pull your hair out or start drinking at 6am errryday I think it's one of those *we* have good days and less good days. Teamwork and all that jazz. Reminds me of the "how are you feeling" while preg question. So you can answer honestly or the sugar coated version (which still might be good.)
@supriseat39 I had a friend whose Facebook status said she was going to register (she is 3 1/2 months btw) and at the end of it put #buymesomething. She is also basically throwing her own shower. Ummm.... No thanks!
DS1 was playing on our front porch last night while we were loading up to get groceries and got swarmed by the wasps who have apparently made a nest underneath it. He got stung five or six times (once on the lip which got huge). Urgent care centre gave him Benadryl and hydrocortisone, but now he keeps asking if the moths (wasps) are after him. It's sad that he's scared of outside right when the weather is so nice.
@teachermommy9967 sorry, you definitely have it worse than me it's just been a rough 2.5 weeks bc she just won't sleep and your post was the first thing I read this morning when I woke up.
Hey we are all here for support for each other's questions and vents right. And sometimes when one of us has a "woe is me" post that is a bit too whinny (which I now realized mine sounded like) it doesn't hurt to be called out on it lol. It's all good!!! Hope all our LOs start sleeping better so we can all get more beauty rest

Thanks ladies. He seems to be feeling fine, but gets upset every time we talk about going outside. Plus the wasps seem to be spreading (only saw them at the far end of the porch, now there are a couple by the door) so I'm getting anxious about getting DS and the twins in and out of the house. I think a call to Orkin may be in our future :-(
Eta far end of the porch, not fat end. Poor porch will get a complex!

so wasps are easy to destroy. Insecticide + very early morning +nest = sleeping beauty (aka forever asleep aka dead). They all go to the nest until it starts warming up. Yay for useful knowledge in past jobs!
Sorry to hear about DS1. He can has all the M14 hugs
@babylimas I signed up for stichfix today with your referral code. Hopefully it worked, I had started another one, and so it said my email had already been used, but I think I got it to work.
@NanaCook does that mean this is a pooping selfie?
Don't act like you've never done it.
@torilea YES! The first time Holland really babbled for me was while in her monkey chair, watching me do my business. X_X That's a story to tell the grand kids!
Good tips @Missfunball and @bennieangel! I'll talk to DH (he's the designated bug killer in our relationship). The only problem is we can't really see the nest because the porch has sheeting from the ground to the deck, so we're not sure exactly where it is or how big it is. I think some early morning recon might also be in DH's future!
So I posted something on FB earlier about how I made our first batch of baby food, and literally not even 2 minutes after I posted my MIL called and asked if DH and I would want to go on a date this weekend or next and that she and FIL would watch Ellie. Yeah, I'm still not sure that I trust you.
I say nope. Their actions have consequences and who's to say what they'll try to cram down her throat next. I doubt it would be something you'd approve of.
My 6wk post op tubal check up is today. My leg is still friggen numb, I don't want to go because there isn't anything that can be done. I want to go shopping instead

@Jenstwins how traumatizing for DS! We have wasps trying to build nests all over the outside of our house and I'm so afraid the same thing will happen to my DS1. I hope he feels better about going outside soon!

@Jenstwins how is DS today? Any better? I'm sorry that happened to him. I forget how old is he? Poor guy...hopefully he will forget this and not be afraid.
UGH I seriously feel like the worst mom ever ! I'm going up to the mountains for the day Saturday with DH, SIL AND my brother to go river tubing. I have yet to be away from her to do ANYTHING since she was born , I take her with me everywhere I go... I'm excited because I've never been but hating being away from LO. I'm also not going to be home tomorrow night until 9ish. I hate working

Jk. But seriously. PCs are like that. I have nothing helpful.
