I still have a hacking cough in the morning and when going to bed. About
20 minutes into my hacking/trying to fall asleep I was actually able to
cough up a bit of junk.
FFFC - I wiped it on the side of the mattress cover because I didn't want to get out of bed.
I wish DD would cough that shit up, she kept me up half the night with her coughing. DS kept me up the other half crying from nightmares.
I've been holding this one since all the bday party talk earlier this week. DD is 4. She has never had a bday party. She might this year.
Two reasons: Until last year, we lived near NO ONE. One- family member was 4 hours away and would drive up to celebrate with us. That was nice. We live closer to him now, but still the rest of the family is still far away.
Two- She never seemed to have really close friends at daycare, and none of our friends (DH and I) had young kids. It just seemed awkward to invite daycare friends that she never talked about or seemed very interested in.
We always had a cake and presents for her, and made it a big deal at home, but no full on party. This year, that will be different, because she does have school friends, and she is aware of birthday parties now.
All the bday party talk made me feel really guilty.
I had Pirate's Booty and semisweet chocolate chips for breakfast.
The Costco near me stopped selling Pirate's Booty and I'm so sad. I can't find it anywhere else.
Amazon has it.
Trader Joe's has it (it's called Unburied Treasure under their private label, but it's basically the same thing, made by the same company, just without some if the additives and preservatives).
I stopped at McDonalds this morning and I was so glad they put their calorie counts right on the menu. Helped me to leave with only my iced coffee and come to work and eat my oatmeal and strawberries.
Fffc: I need in my face high calorie counts or I'll eat it and be in denial
Today is our first summer Friday so we get to leave at 1. I have a lunch date planned with a guy I have been out with a few times before, but for some reason, the thought of seeing him during the day is making me really nervous.
To compensate I have no less than 6 coats of mascara on.

Once MH gets out of the army he wants to be a paramedic so he will be home during the day while I work.
My FFFC: I would rather send LO to daycare because I don't like how he acts when he's alone with her.
He plays video games while putting her on her playmat and doesn't pay attention to her and also lets her CIO for naps by forcing the pacifier in her mouth instead of letting her spit it out and put it back in which makes her scream until she passes out. He also never wakes up when she cries.

Day dates make me nervous too. One time I met a guy at 10am for coffee and I was like, how am I supposed to have my pre date beer this early dammit?? But it was a good time even though I was stone cold sober (who knew?) Hope you have fun!
Thanks!
He's actually not a drinker at all-- so the other dates we have been on I have been sober.
My nervousness is centered around sweating (we are going to hang in Central Park) and chub rub.

I judged the shit out of a dad at daycare teh other day. Well, mostly his wife who sent him on his errant mission in the first place.
He asked the teacher (in a not remotely subtle fashion) to make a list of his daughter's "5 closest friends" so that they could be invited to her second birthday party.
The teacher was like..."uh... they mostly parallel play at this point, and don't necessarily have "close" friends" and he was entirely undeterred. He goes, "okay well if you could list her 5 closest friends and give me that list by the end of the day that would be great".
I seriously was like.... WTMF
I would have judged too.
When I read that story, the dad's voice sounded like Lumbergh in my head. "Yeah...that'd be great."

Um, a serioys WTAF to all of the bolded. Forcing the pacifier in her mouth even if she wants to spit it out so she gets so upset she screams until she passes out is fucking abusive in my opinion. Jesus Christ - that makes me ragey just reading that. Nevermind that he basically doesn't wake up when she cries and just leaves her on a mat.
Get your child into daycare and do not leave her with him unattended. Because holy shit.
He doesn't always do it and most of the time is really attentive and loving but he always says "she's a baby she's going to cry." He has some PTSD issues so I've been trying to get him to go to therapy.
He just doesn't have the patience to get her to sleep. So where I will sit for 40 minutes putting her pacifier back in her mouth when she spits it out he would rather force her to keep it in her mouth. Whenever I try to tell him not To do it that way he says that he's her parent too and does things his way. So now I just always put her down for bed and naps.

@ctgirl30-- I totally took that into consideration while getting dressed this morning-- I am wearing a floral print sundress and my inner thighs are slathered in deod.
I am taking no chances.

I don't ususally buy into the hype, but everyone keeps talking about tomorrow night being a full moon & women going into labor during a full moon. Now I am stupid worried that I will go into labor this weekend. I need baby to wait at least until her due date to secure me being off for the girls fall break at school this year.
I'm about to buy yet another cloth diaper even though we're going to start PT soon because 1. cute new prints! 2. Part of the proceeds are going to be donated to a family that experienced a horrible tragedy this week. I don't even know them, or live in the area, but I feel compelled to help for some reason.
Also, I think I'm going to be drunk pretty much all of vacation #2 next week, since we have to share a condo with my cracker eating MIL. H's brother put his foot down on FIL and told him he doesn't want them sleeping in the same room and confusing his kids (long ass story, but the short of it is that they are divorced, she has a bf, but when they see each other, they share rooms, go on dates, basically still act married)
I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable either. I understand your position but keep in mind your child's well-being is first and foremost.
It's so hard to argue the point of "she's my kid too". Because you want to tell them "you don't criticize me because I'm not doing it wrong". That doesn't help the situation at all.
Have you explained why these methods are really bad? Maybe get him some reading material?
Since your not in the position of him working the paramedic job yet maybe really put all your effort into the therapy. Then as he gets healthier some of this stuff can be worked out there. And until it's worked out DC.
Yea I'm a teacher so I'm home all summer. With military he works a lot and then likes to do his own thing when he gets home. Sometimes I wonder if he doesn't know how to handle her because he isn't really ever alone with her. He also has ADHD (not medicated) so I think some of his impatience stems from that.
I'm going to have a discussion with him and pull some reading material as suggested. Lately I just do things because it's easier than arguing about him "doing it wrong."
I've really only lurked on TB to check out the BB thread. I feel like I should throw MBK a few bucks for being my personal live feed updater but I'm pretty broke. I've seriously contemplated signing up for the live feeds though, what is it like $30? I could budget that.

I told DH I'd go work on the house today while he's at work. I think I'm just gonna go to Target and watch BB instead. The doors will be finished eventually.
Dude, considering how they talked about you, I say you don't do shit today!
-My son was born in April 2012. He pretty much rules.
I re-watched The Notebook last week and have suddenly fallen in love with vintage fashion looks from various decades. I wish I had the money to update my wardrobe to squeeze in some retro looks but I'm not even sure I could pull it off or if it would too 'in your face' in comparison to the trends right now. I just find these looks darling.
I NEED those pants in the last one. I love this style too, but don't think I could pull it off. Those pants look like they could be worked in easily though.
@CTGirl30 he acknowledges he has issues but says if they get bad he will go to therapy. He also says that if I ever think he's at the point where he needs to go, he will. I'm going to talk to him again about the issues I have with his parenting and if he doesn't change then I definitely think it's time for him to go to therapy.
