Aww @steamboat123 Thanks for missing me! I've just been really busy and I've been trying to spend less time on the computer/my phone. Summer vacation will be over in a month, so I'm trying to be less lazy and do better keeping my face out of social media. Plus, I'm down to an occasional glass of wine once every couple of weeks for weight loss purposes, so.. no drunk bumping on Saturday nights. Although, that was fun. I do miss that...

After bath, I wrapped Ty in his shark towel and he proceeded to put a dry washcloth in his mouth and crawl full speed away from Bradley and me holding the cloth in his mouth. We took to calling him "baby shark" and everytime we did Ty would squeal. This lasted 15 minutes.

What just happened? Was that sharknado?

I have read all the words. Had a wonderful vacation in Colorado! It was rainy, but beautiful! Back to my parents' house for a few days.

A development on my job situation. My MIL apparently decided to apply me for a job within the company that I am already contract in. I just started getting emails. How weird is it for someone else to apply for a job for you?

@winesconstantly‌ it's funny you mentioned d'yer maker as a stripping song. After that question last night I turned to DH and said, "what's that Led Zepplin song, oh oh oh oh oh that you think is a good stripping song , called?" And he was like, "d'yer maker. Why?" Me: "oh, nothing" (back to my phone). I'm pretty sure he's now thinking I'm putting together an awesome stripping playlist or something. Sorry Charlie.

9:15. Benjamin just fell asleep after having been up since 7:30am with no naps. What happened to my great sleeper??? Also he refused to eat during lunch time again! I have no clue what's going on. My best guess is teeth, but it seems like a lame cop-out.

I have been working on cleaning out my attic today and am only about 1/3 of the way done. Out of the third I cleaned though I was able to get rid of a ton of crap! I am seriously addicted to purging and making space right now. Nesting is making me super productive this time around

Today I asked G to have a little more patience. He said, "I can't, my patience is out of batteries." Guess he's on to why none of his toys make noise anymore.

lioness13 · August 2014

Out of the blue DH said, "I wish we had owned a bottle warner when KJ was younger. How much are they?" I looked at him like he was crazy and asked him why he was thinking about that. He said he saw it on Dexter (he's watching it on Netflix). I just responded, "Oh." He wasn't interested in registering and he only went to BRU once to pick up the glider. This dude still knows nothing. Men!

@CL8badB‌ I like your idea

. I'm a lot more likely to get things done when I feel I'm being held accountable for it.

@CL8bad - I'm ambivalent about that check-in. I like the idea but I know I'll feel bad about my inevitable slacking ;-)

You should look at Fly Lady (something like that) it's very into the 15 minutes a day to a cleaner house deal.

I have been purging and cleaning out crap too. I donated tons of old clothes I'm sick of and am trying to get rid of the clutter before going on vacation and then back to work.

Me too! My friend challenged me to get rid of something every day and to get rid of something for each new thing I buy. I have been doing it for 2 weeks and it's been easy. I've cleared out 4 junk drawers (ridiculous! And I have like 3 more! Maybe I'm a hoarder...). I've also decluttered under my bathroom sink and our bathroom closet. Still so many places to declutter. The more I do, the more I want to.

LO is obsessed with eating with a fork. This morning, the only way he would eat his toast is cut up in little bits and put on his fork. So cute but more work for mama because he hasn't gotten the stabbing part yet.

ASmallWonder · August 2014

Q learned how to nod yes yesterday. He's had violent shaking of the head "no" down for a while but the yes thing cracked me up. It's the slightest tip of the head, like the one Dexter gives in the opening credits as he's walking out of his apartment lol

@asmallwonder Ty considers the frantic shaking head no dancing...I put on Chandelier by Sia on in the car yesterday and he lost his shit...like clapping and shaking his head and squealing. He has great taste or is going to be a party girl

Q is a dancing FOOL. He's got a nice little bounce and rhythm going on

The other day daycare told me that he does the arm movements for (how the hell do you spell this?) the skiddamarinkydinkydink song (kwim?) Anyway, when he does it he bounces and his arm is at an angle so it looks really gangsta

Aiden, however, looks like a spazz and a half when he dances lol

So my in laws are staying with us until they close on their house. My FIL is an early riser - like 5AM. Lucy has been waking up earlier and earlier. I can only think she must hear him.

I'm exhausted and frustrated. SH decided a quick weekend get away would be fun this weekend, so we are going to Galena with his mom and grandma... with Lucy. So all the packing and getting stuff and making sure nothing is left behind.... well that's up to this over-tired mama, while H works a half day and expects to be on the road before 1. Thanks H. Sounds like a blast.

I really want to have a good weekend. I want to enjoy our time there. But I'm just not looking forward to packing and getting out of town, and then chasing Lucy around my Grand-MIL's house.

Edit: sorry for the rant/vent. I don't have anyone to talk to when I think my H is being a SH.

Just remember, make sure you've packed the person (not purchasable) things. Everything else can be picked up if you forget it. Easier said than done because I get all panicky about packing but DH always reminds me that we're not going to the moon

ColieAnn31 · August 2014

@ChicagoChic82‌ I ended up going to bed hungry because I was just too tired to eat after I got Grayson back to sleep. I also started my period 2 days early so that's probably another reason as to why I am so moody and irritable

@WorkinIt‌ Grayson has been sticking his finger up his nose for awhile now. He thinks it's hilarious lol

@WasNotWas‌ when Grayson dances he will shake his head no super fast. Kids got some mad dance skills!

There is this lady at work who is really smart and talented but when she talks on a conference call she talks like she is high, or has marbles in her mouth, like really gritty and grating. It makes it impossible to listen to...

needanustart · August 2014

I just need to stick this rant here. My MIL is easily overwhelmed and kind of a flustered person. She means well and loves loves loves the kids but is driving me nuts lately. We moved here so we supposedly could have a support network while the kids were young because FIL is retired and MIL is semi-retired and said she wanted to help us out. She watches Lo on Fridays instead of going to daycare and G goes to day care because she can't handle both kids at once. So our big support is one kid one day a week. That's fine, I am not expecting someone else to raise our kids, but it is super frustrating since my parents are young and fit and help my sisters out ALLLLL the time with their kids but they are hundreds of miles away. The last 7 weeks we have been getting a babysitter on Fridays for Lo, in addition to G going to daycare (they don't have space for Lo on Fridays) because my FIL has been recovering and she understandably has had to help him. But now he has been home for weeks and yesterday she emails me and asks if I can get a sitter for the afternoon because she's tired. Geez louise, could you have let me know sooner? I'm just so pissed because if I would have known earlier that she just couldn't handle watching him I would have hired ONE sitter for Fridays all summer to watch both kids and saved a boatload of money. We are at $1,000 in extra babysitting now. So then she comes over this morning all disappointed that I dropped G off before she got there and that Lo was sleeping. And said she feels bad for all the extra babysitting costs and writes me a check for $100. I know I sound like a brat but it's not that I expect help from anyone else, it's just I don't think she realizes her last minute frazzled decisions have a real financial impact on us. The whole situation is frustrating and I know DH feels the same way so I can't vent about this to him because it must suck to be disappointed in your parents so I don't want to kick a guy when he's down. He realized that even at a distance with us visiting my parents for the week and my family coming here to visit we have gotten more child care from my family than his in the last 6 months. MIL also keeps saying that when she fully retires it will "open up a lot of child care opportunities" which I am super confused about because WE HAVE TWO KIDS and she has said she can't handle both at once.

I just miss my family full of happy energetic free babysitters I have had gift certificates for massages and manicure/pedicures that I have had for over a year because I feel guilty spending money on a sitter to go use them.

WasNotWas · August 2014

@calikat80 I think you should just plan on both going to daycare all week and maybe have MIL take a weekend day? or a Friday afternoon/evening? That way in case she has to cancel you aren't out $$. That would piss me off to no end.

**Bragging Warning**

Bradley is transitioning into the big boy room at school and spent half the day there yesterday. One of his old teachers brought over his stuff. This teacher makes @asmallwonder look like a giant. She's not a little person, but she is probably 4'10". So one of the kids in Bradley's new class said "you are tiny" to the teacher, apparently Bradley spoke up and said "that's not nice, she is my teacher!" I am so proud of him!! (his teachers then told me that he is the enforcer in class and will always make sure everyone is following the rules, he's going to be fun at parties...)

needanustart · August 2014

@wasnotwas DH is adamant about us getting one day of (half)child care from his family. I think it bothers him more than me since he knows he's letting me down and that I'm homesick. I will bring it up again tonight though. He is going to flip his shit when he finds out the check was for $100. He wanted me to let her know exactly how much we've spent and I'm like, "uhhhh, yeah that wouldn't be bitchy at all." I do want to just use them for nights and weekends because it would be so nice to have random extra child care and we can never ask for that when she is exhausted from watching Lo on Fridays when we get home.

DH was just in on a hiring interview where he thought to himself, "we can't hire this woman because her voice will drive us insane." He kept his mouth shut because he felt it would come across as sexist, even though if a guy had a weird voice he'd feel the same. As soon as the interview was over a female colleague was like, "we cannot hire the woman with that awful voice." Ha!

How could you say to her that it's really $1,000? If I were her, I would hope that you would have brought it up when it was around $100. Why is he so adamant? Is it money or pride? I would think if they picked them up from school or your house on a Friday and stayed the night (I'm just spitballing at this point) that would be better than a half-day of daycare!

needanustart · August 2014

@wasnotwas I think it's a combo of money and pride. And not wanting to disappoint me, but I don't think he realizes this frustration is more disappointing than having something reliable. I also don't like coming home on Fridays feeling guilty that I have run grandma into the ground. He thinks she just needs to step up her grandma game because he sees all of his friends getting a lot more support from their parents. I'm of the mindset that you can't change people. This is the woman that when we told them I was pregnant again she said, "Mike, are you happy about that?" to which he awesomely replied, "mom we kind of know how this works. I was in on this."

I am going to check about getting a space reserved for Lo on Fridays starting in September and just propose the new plan to DH once I have it fleshed out.

ETA: This is DH being only-childy BTW. He was raised that he was the center of their universe and I think this makes him feel like he's not even in the picture any more.

It feels kind of seedy to order a Tall Blonde at the Starbucks counter.

The other day I passed a restaurant called "The Mexican Touch" and it sounded a little, er, off... or dirty. I don't think I would eat there based on the name.

needanustart · August 2014

Yeah @stargazer763 it's so tricky because I think she wants to believe she can do it. And I think she wants to, but just can't handle it. She keeps saying, "sorry for not being able to do this Friday, it's not like I don't love watching the little guy!" So I feel like it will be like awkwardly firing a volunteer. Maybe I can frame it like we're doing it for her sake or sanity? Sigh.

Related funny story: In college my friend and I were taking a science class. We were sitting in the back and the topic turned toward dwarfism. My friend kind of humorously slid her eyes in my direction and the teacher caught her and in front of the whole damn class goes "No Kathy, Allison is not a dwarf." Gee, thanks teach! lol
