I have a few things to say today. First, @MittenJennie was oh so kind enough to do a Mommy & Me session for us this morning and Joey decided to be a serious Stanley for 99% of the photo shoot! I get home and decided to take a picture of him with my phone and I get the gem below!! It's a good thing he's cute!! Now to vent: My dad has had this on again, off again girlfriend for about 3 years now. Well lately it's been off again and she's been going psycho crazy. Going to bars, seeing other guys, blah blah blah. Well she was on her way to CA to watch her son graduate from film school and decided she "needed" my dad to come "save" her because she was having horrible anxiety and all this other crap so my dad flies out there to be with her and has been gone for 3 wks now. Well, last week he calls to tell us they are GETTING MARRIED!!!! So, they got married on 07/11 in Vegas. Awesome. This woman has done and said some wicked shit to/about our family. Needless, I'm not very happy about it but whatever, it's my dad's life and if he's happy then he's happy.
And last but not least, my mom and brother have been staying with us for a couple of months and it's really bothering DH. He's being a complete jerk to me and we are arguing big time. Things are deft no bueno.
End rant for me. I hope everyone has a great week!
Does anyone know if generic baby formula is the same from store to store, just labeled differently? I don't mean the different types -- I mean, the generic for Similac Advantage, for example (the one with the blue top). It seems to be the exact same container at Meijer, Walmart, Walgreens, and a few other places. I can't find anything online that talks about the distributor -- not that it isn't out there, I'm just probably not using the right words.
Anyone? I had a moment of panic the other day when I forgot formula, but I didn't want to buy a new tub from somewhere else and risk upsetting the tummy.
@hlb622, I don't know if they are the same or not, but I know I have switched between the Kroger and Babies R Us formulas without any tummy problems. GL!
On Friday I posted in fffc that our office had a lunch thief and I made a special hot sauce sandwich to help us solve the mystery. It is one of our fucking interns! He is on coffee and copies duty for the rest of the summer!

WTF, how did you catch him? Was he all, I totes stole some fridge food that burned my mouth?
We are completely out of coffee... DS is finally down for a nap after a long fight, and I'm barely hanging on to being awake. I want to get work done, but I have no energy. And I'm so paranoid that if I just give in and nap, he'll take a really short nap and I'll just be super grumpy.

I love that you caught an intern stealing food, lol! That kid has some balls.
I am so excited because tonight is Mommy Margarita night!! I don't have any irl friends that live near me and I usually find it hard to meet other women, but ever since having babies, I've been meeting a lot of other new moms and I've been trying to get out of my social comfort zone and really make some new friends. I met this group through a woman in my prenatal yoga class. She knew the other women and they have invited me to their monthly margarita night. I can't even remember the last time I went out at night with friends, and without DH.
Thank you @baconface! Family drama really does suck. Add marriage troubles on top of that and it makes it even worse. ETA: Good luck with all of your work tasks! Hire all of us. We will show them all how it's done!
Have so much fun tonight @ballygirl! You deserve it!!
DH and I had a huge blowup yesterday. I hate fighting (especially since it is rare that we do), but I'm glad it happened because I am the queen of holding things in and smiling until they blowup, and I needed to say my piece and be heard. By the end we were both crying, but we worked it out.
Today, I started my period, and I want to eat all the things and curl up into a ball and sleep.
Well I'm definitely not napping now bc I just found out that there is a tornado warning in my hometown, which is very unusual, so now I've got to keep tabs on my family and make sure they all know to #gettothebasement
DD was sick last week (She had a virus that caused high fevers... it was awful) and I missed all of Monday, part of Wednesday, and all of Friday to stay home with her. She would only sleep if I held her, so I got no sleep for a week meaning that the days I was at work I was unproductive. So now today I am super behind and I know the bosses are annoyed. Also, I am going to be teaching adjunct classes (2) starting in August and I need to get the classes ready. My house is a mess, I need to go to the grocery store (badly), and I am exhausted. So much to do, so little energy and time. All I want to do is cuddle with by baby who is finally better, but I need to take #allthework home with me and pull a late nighter (the 30 something version of a all nighter:)).
I love summer, but I freaking hate all the damn thunderstorms. I can't deal. Tonight we are getting more. I stay up all night updating my weather app, panicking inside, while the baby snoozes away.
Also I took my final exam today and I'm feeling so relieved. I'm having a drink when this kid shuts his eyes for the night. And TV. There will be TV.
Andplusalso I broiled chocolate with marshmallows on top and dipped graham crackers in it. I ate lots. I might make more tonight. Cause fuck it.

No he did not admit it. I passed him at the water cooler and he was all sputtering, red faced and sweaty. I asked him what was up and he said his subway had extra jalapeños he didn't order. Lol. I walked back with him to his desk because he was asking me for advice on a project he is working on and the sandwich bag is right there in the fucking trash can.
I asked him if subway started serving ghost peppers instead of jalapeños. He knew his secret was out. So I gave him enough shitty excel work to do for the rest of the summer.

@MangoMama82 - This sounds wonderful. Do you just put them in the oven?

Yep. I threw it in an aluminum pie tin to avoid cleaning. Cut the marshmallows in half. Popped it in a 425* oven, remove when mallows are toasted, let stand for 5 mins, nom.
I had a great fancy restaurant lunch date with my friends and our babies. Then we hit up some consignment shops. I finally found a great jean jacket Im going to distress and turn into a vest for DS.
Tomorrow I rid carbs from my diet for a while. Im sad I love them so much.
My cars brakes decided to start acting up on Saturday. You know, when the shop isn't open for two days. Im now borrowing the in-laws truck, yippeee.
We went to a bday party for twin 3 yr olds and had one diaper, and no bottles. So we stayed about a hour in the 90° backyard and scooted our asses home, where we proceeded to #eatallthethings and plop in the inflatable pool. It was a much better evening.
I think my work/fi has given me tmj.
Im taking an extra day off to start my vacation early and I #givenofucks.
Fi stayed home from work today because he "doesnt feel well, waaah" which makes his next check 3 days light. #giveallthefucks #hesadumbass #pansywithaweakstomach
I just know im going to have to do all the packing for the vacation.
Ok guise I wasn't going to post until tomorrow but I just.cant.wait! Figured this was a good non-AW thread to get my excitement out... Until I AW it up tomorrow of course.
DS is getting his NG tube out for good tomorrow!!!!!!!! Aaaaahhh!! He has made so much progress with eating/drinking the past three weeks that we are just waiting on a phone call from one doctor tomorrow and my kid will be another step closer to being a "normal" baby. (His helmet comes off in about a month then we will be totally medical accessory free!) I will post a pic and update as soon as I can tomorrow!!
If I could gif successfully I would insert all the super awesome gifs here.

Yay!! How exciting!! So happy for you & for DS of course!!
Thanks! I seriously can hardly put into words how I feel about this. It has been the hardest past 9 months of my life with L's issues. And to think that the worst part of it will be over for good brings up so many emotions. I think I will be giddy but crying all day tomorrow!! I almost forget what he looks like without the tube taped to his face. I feel like I will be staring at him all day tomorrow just getting used to how his sweet face will look from now on!

When you have a need for margaritas, you reach right out to @carriet2018 and I and we'll come share some margaritas with you!!
I had fish tacos & gelato yesterday ... We woke up at 2am to drive back from AC , so DH could go to work this morning & I have had the chills since last night and just blew up the bathroom .. Damn fish tacos!!!!
The past few days with dd have been rough. No sleeping. No napping. Very clingy (as in we can't leave the room or put her down). Im thinking its teething. I haven't slept more than, I don't know, 4 hours combined since Saturday. Yesterday, I wake up to an eye infection. On top of my exhaustion, I refinished our garage door. My dad came over to help and he was being super helpful and just kept painting. He painted the front door and the trim too. he worked hard on it, and I'm grateful, but I hate it. I didn't have the heart to tell him so I just kept smiling and nodding.
Also, I envy those of you who go out, have friends, and have productive arguments with your husbands/spouses.

Totally one of the top 5 days of my career.
