I want to Rawv!

SallyAnneS · July 2014

R: I am grumpy today at the world except for ds who is in a great mood!

Aw: We went to another park and had a blast this morning. He even played alone happily while i sat and dealt with some m/s i was feeling.

He said as we left he had fun playing with the other kids.

Vent: This is probably preg hormones making me grumpy about this... But so maybe people assume either we will move to a bigger house or turn the playroom into a bedroom as the kids grow up. Ummm... Not my plan! We love this house and it is plenty big other then only having 3 bedrooms. And the playroom will convert into the kids hang out spot/tv room/computer room. Not a bedroom. Am I the only one that thinks 2 kids can share a bedroom forever? I know it isn't "ideal" but that is life. I also dont think twins need to share the same room forever if they are b/g. Boys will get one room and the girl tje other after out of the nursery. But I am grumpy so maybe I am wrong?

Random: I finally joined our town gym 2 weeks ago and have gone 2+ times each week *woop woop*. I took a cycle/core class and today tried a uhh...forget what it's called but something 360 and oh my gosh, it kicked.my.ass. I'm done. Just done, but I feel great!!

Vent: DH has a couple night jobs this week and I hate it. It just throws everything off and I know he doesn't sleep well when he has these come up and I just worry about him getting in an accident or being injured at a job or something. Ugh!

AW: I made bulgur last night with shredded carrots and zucchini and some spices to go with fish. It was surprisingly yummy and DH ate a ton too! (Yes, DH, not DS, although he ate it too). This is a man that doesn't like most veggies, doesn't like trying new foods, doesn't like red sauce and won't eat pizza or spaghetti, etc. Picky, picky. I didn't tell him about the zucchini in it, but he didn't ask and I am still just amazed that he actually ate and liked it haha. Win.

Aw: i just called an made an appt with my therapist to help me deal with my feelings about the twins. Don't get me wrong, i am excited and feel very complete. But the fear of ppd coming back and just how i am going to handle 3 kids is overwhelming. I am really proud of myself for making the phone call.

random- I'm craving chicken salad

random- can't stop watching Scandal!!!

vent- started my period. cramps huuuuuurrrrrrrtttttt.

(

aw- Z has been super cuddly today- she napped without a fight and has been really good overall ....wonder what she's plotting

Mamaalysson, I love the vanilla trash bags! They smell so good.

magentawarped · July 2014

Vent: my H is sick. He puked six times in as many hours today. He also splattered half the bathroom. I told him that if he wanted me to clean in there, he could've just asked. Poor guy.

Random: I had to cancel my SAHM blind date for the third time. This gal probably thinks I'm avoiding her.

AW: Logan started solids, and he's doing awesome! Opens his mouth, hardly makes a mess...so much easier than with Scarlett. I'm glad we waited until he was 6 months.

thechickencoop · July 2014

Another random - DS is napping and I have the Food Network on while I'm flipping through the Ikea catalog that came today. The woman is making sausage and I just can't get past her talking about how she likes her sausage 'thick and firm'. Lol, I swear I'm not a 13 year old boy but c'mon! How can you seriously talk about this stuff!

OMG she just said something about letting air escape from the sausage casings so that her 'sausages don't have a blowout'.

:-?

JeffandLeslie · July 2014

AW: DD has been super affectionate lately and it's pretty adorable. She even gave her swim teacher a hug this morning.

AW2: I'm having a good SAHM day.

@SallyAnneS, my brother and I shared a room until I was 6 and he was 3, even though our house had three bedrooms. My mom waited to move one of us until the third kid was born and she found out if it was a boy or a girl. It was a boy, so then I got my own room and my brothers shared. They shared a room until I left for college, so until they were 15 and 12.

Ha! They are not horrible, but combined with whatever was stinking up my garbage I almost puked this morning. I will be sticking with unscented next time, but I wonder if there are other scents offered that might better compliment garbage stink? :P

I buy the Febreze ones because a) they help with stink and b) they sell them at Costco.

@mamaalysson, can you use them as garage or laundry room trash bags or something?

Hollylb3 · July 2014

R: I texted my friend this morning and asked if she wanted to go to Olive Garden for lunch (date night got cancelled the other night, so I was still craving it). She responded that she was eating healthy and how about the park instead. Umm, no. Unacceptable. I'll find another lunch partner. :P

V: I think I've said this before, but it's on my mind lately. It makes me sad we're never going to find anything close to what we have now for anywhere close to the same price for a home. We rent, and have 3 beds, 2 baths, with a fenced in backyard. Similar things in our area are at least 30-40% higher, and it's just not in the budget. But I'd love to find something with more living space. Sigh. Not any time soon. If we have another kid, I'll have to get a smaller swing, and I can't even imagine where a jumperoo or something like that would go. I don't know how people in NYC and similar places do it.

JMC11511 · July 2014

Random: I can't think of anything really random.
AW: L's swim class is now just him and one other boy. Each of them has a teacher. They are both two (I asked) it was SO much better today. And I didn't even ask for it to be like that.
Vent: I feel sort of embarrassed that my kid has to have one on one instruction. I feel like it's a reflection on my parenting. I hate how much insecurity I have, especially in regards to parenting. He's not doing anything any other two year old isn't doing. I am not failing as a Mom.

Ummmm…we have less stuff? Not in NY, but we have a very small house, and with kid #2 we had way less stuff. WAY less stuff. You'll figure it out.

Well obviously you have less stuff. :P I know all the baby stuff isn't a necessity, but it sure helps a lot. I don't mean I literally don't know how you do it; I just like having all my baby junk.

orangegoggles · July 2014

R: Crazy day today. Just realized its the first minute I sat down. I even ate breakfast standing lol

AW: Went to another spin class today and is was a strength one but she also added in resistance bands and stuff for the arms while we rode so it was a really good workout.

V: The landscapers still haven't been back. They start things then don't come back for days later. Thank goodness we've only paid them for the work done because I don't think my H is going to put up with them much longer.

minerswife17 · July 2014

R: I have to go to the store...again...I'm always forgetting things we NEED. What's wrong with my mind lately???

AW: DH and I took DD to the mall today for a lunch date and a mini cookie. Last time we got cookies there the guy gave us a free cookie. Same guy today, I got home and went to write down the receipt in my transaction book and he charged us $0.31 for 2 reg. cookies and 1 mini. I called and told him (I didn't know if he realized) and he said "no, I meant to do that."

V: I feel kinda creeped out by the cookie guy now. Lol. I don't ever want to go back now.

V: I was up most of the night with restless legs and maybe got 3 hours of sleep. I am in a horribly shitty mood and so exhausted I could cry. R: I read the need to vent thread and the only replies I can come up with are unnecessarily bitchy and not at all helpful. I am staying far, far away from that thread today. AW: I made the best dinner last night and it was even better for lunch today.

I'm with you on the staying away from that thread. What did you make for dinner? I'm always looking for new ideas.

jillyjill1026sr · July 2014

R: I made it through Costco with DD alone this morning.
AW: I've got homemade peach pies in the oven. Our house smells amazing!
AW: I weighed in this morning and I'm lighter than I have been in 2 years. I'm stoked!
V: I am still recovering from the wedding this past weekend. I slept 9:30 to 6 solid and I'm still tired. I'm definitely not 20 anymore.

raraavis28 · July 2014

I am all vents today, sorry in advance....

V1: Spent all of naptime cleaning. I figured I'd only need an hour to do my downstairs.....and then I realized that the vacuum wasn't sucking anything up. Long story short, I ended up spending about 45 minutes cleaning out the hose.....it was nasty. But at least it works again.

V2: N had a really hard day today. Every single thing was a meltdown-trigger....for every meal he would eat two bites and then scream "All done!" just to want to get up and eat two minutes later. When I took him and L on a walk in the stroller he was crying to get out and walk the whole time. He wanted out to play on the patio but then would be fighting w/ L over a toy after a minute....etc. etc. I have no idea why he was so cranky, but thank the Lord it's bedtime now.

V3: We're going camping w/ the ILs in their RV from tomorrow afternoon to Saturday morning. It's at a state park just an hour away, so if it's a total disaster we can always go home early, but as the trip comes closer I'm really starting to dread it. When I told MIL we'd go, I was figuring, yeah it will be a lot of chasing babies around keeping them out of trouble, but that's what our last vacation was w/o any extra adults to help, and whatever it's an adventure, a free mini-trip and a change of scenery. Well between N's crankiness today, a weather prediction of Tstorms this weekend, forseeing how much my ILs are going to annoy me over the next two days, and just general anxiety about it, I'm starting to wonder why I said yes. And then my mom texts me to tell me what a horrible idea it is....like it's her business. Grrr....I want to crawl under a blanket fort and not come out.....how's that for camping? :P

thechickencoop · July 2014

Oh ffs I have a vent - I just left my freakin phone in DSs room when I put him to sleep. GRRRRR!!! I'm pretty sure it's on silent or vibrate but he's still up there playing so I'm going to have to sneak in when he passes out. Really hoping he doesn't notice it in there. :-SS

caybeh · July 2014

Random: I can't post mobile anymore. No idea why. It's always says I'm not signed it, I sign in and still can't post. Weird....

Vent: Engorged...sigh. I'm very glad my milk came in as DD is much more content, but my gosh I forgot what the engorgement right away was like. And the tender nipples..ouch.Sorry if TMI...

Aw: It so sweet watching DS with DD. He wants to kiss her all the time and thinks she is pretty.
