  I need to learn how to start my lawn mower. It's still growing in clumps under the tree in front of my house. I'm wondering how crazy my neighbors will think I am when I'm mowing my lawn wearing two kids?

  Good to know, Piney. Thanks!

  
  

  @ambarnett1 BOOOOOOO!

  
  

  We *kinda* made it to the Reds game today, for like 3 whole innings. I had her in the ergo and sweated my balls off. Poor bug. Can you imagine anything worse than drinking hot milk from a hot sweaty boob on a hella hot day?

  
  

  No wonder she puked it up 15 minutes later. The total cry fest that ensued DID get us all a two hour nap though. 

  
  

  And she's already in bed. 

  
  

  WOOOOOOT.

  GO REDS!!
  
  

  I second this. Specifically number 17. Yayyy Kris.
  

  Whoa hoa 17!! I love them all, but I love seeing Todd Fraiser up at bat! And his music is the best ever...approaching the plate to a little Frank Sinatra...just the icing on the cake for this gal!
  
  

  I worked for the Bats (the triple A team under the Reds) when Todd was there. He is extra silly and fun, probably one of my favorite people when I was there. Chapman was with us at the time too. He slept with an intern, and she slept with 2 other players over he course of the summer too. She wasn't the classiest.
  
  However, (this is in my total braggy voice) Negron is my favorite because we were prom king and queen together in high school and we were miserably stuck in Kentucky together the last 4 years... We moved back to California, and he got called up like 2 weeks later. Plus, he's kicking major ass!
  
  Also, who mentioned Big Brother? I'm obsessed. This season is SO much better than last year! And this week... Oh man. I think I have gray hair. I also need to watch Food Network Star and see who won. And watch Game of Crowns and live vicariously through those crazy ladies... Sunday is my awesome tv night, obviously. I swear I have a life outside of watching reality tv!

  So I am nursing Carlene while Chase takes a bath.  DH goes to check on Chase and I hear him say, jokingly "Oh no, someone let the water out?"

  
  

  Carlene pops off the boob and looks up at me with this look that says "Oh no!  What are we gonna do?!"

  
  

  I look at her and say "Don't worry, Daddy wasn't talking to you."

  
  

  She gives me the biggest smile, and then launches herself at the boob.

  @poru, I am not sure about milestones.  We waited until Chase could sit up from any position in the tub, and started off only one room away and talking to him.  That was about a year ago.

  Whenever the baby wakes up at 1:30 I can NEVER fall back asleep.. Even though I am dead tired!!! Ugh.... It's now 3:15am, guess I'll just stay awake until he wakes up again ( which should be any minute)

  Same boat, @Holljade‌ .. Except it's not waking up with the baby I can't go back to sleep from. DH woke me up at 10 because he was bored and "not tired yet." Been up ever since. Um, I'm glad you missed me dude but really??!

  Ugh that sucks! Sleep is so precious at this point.
  
  I have to admit I usually stay awake if DH wants some extra time, too. We get so busy it's easy for me to forget we need attention from each other too!

  I love it when Finn makes eye contact with me while we nurse. It usually ends up with him pulling off and talking to me only to shove his face into my boob to start nursing again. Rinse and then repeat, I love it.

  I challenged myself to get back into cooking by inviting two different couples over this week for dinner parties! One couple is vegan and the other isn't. Here's what I came up with so far for the menus:

  
  

  Vegan:

  Appetizer- Garlic rubbed, grilled bread with smoky white bean-rosemary puree

  Main course- Zucchini, eggplant and tomato stacks (grilled) with basil pesto, arugula salad with potatoes and a lemon-garlic vinaigrette and grilled corn on the cob with lime salt.

  Dessert- coconut milk almond chip ice cream topped with brown sugar grilled peaches

  
  

  Non vegan: (it's a picnic!)

  Appetizer- whipped feta/roasted red pepper/chipotle dip with pita and crudite

  Main course- Chopped salad with black beans, spicy grilled chicken, roasted corn, tomatoes and peppers over romaine with a creamy cilantro dressing. Homemade guacamole and pico de gallo and homemade corn tortilla chips. Cilantro-lime quinoa. 

  Dessert- Grilled pineapple with honey-greek yogurt and crushed almonds

  
  

  What do you think??? I'm suuuuuuuper excited to get back into the kitchen!!!!

  One thing -- pesto *typically* has parmesan cheese in it. Of course, IDK what your recipe is and I'm sure you can make it without. 

  
  

  I wish I knew you when I was a vegan.

  I have heard about this happening on two separate occasions...apparently it's the thing to do? I may be old school here, but when did this become polite? Not just for women, but anyone. Is it too much for people to excuse themselves and go to the restroom? I mean really....

  I agree.  I brought in a plug-in and a fan for our office.  I'm not sure how this is professional either.  I get that there could be medical condition component, but then say excuse me to the office mates and bring in some spray yourself!!  

  Ugh...I feel your pain.  At work the woman to the left of me farts and the guy to the right of me farts, belches, and eats noisily throughout the day.  I so need to change jobs.

  Does this woman acknowledge the fact that she's farting or is she just going to town over there thinking that nobody knows? Maybe she thinks people sit far enough away that they don't smell it. That is so gross, I can't handle belching but I don't want to smell your digested food out of your poophole. I mean, that's what that is. Maybe you should explain that to her. Lady, that's a poopy smell.

  Re: farting...wth?! I'd leave a thing of Beano on her desk with a bow on it. 

  
  

  Thanks for the tip @poru! That recipe looks delicious- I love flank steak!!! I was going to do the pesto with basil, garlic, olive oil, toasted walnuts and a little avocado for creaminess. I compensate for the salt of the parm with a little lemon zest and a splash of olive brine. It sounds weird, but it works better than salt for some reason.

  FFFC Two reasons why I'm a sucky person. 1. My daughter is starting school today at "the rich kids school" and is worried that the other kids are going to be snobby and won't be her friend because she's not rich.

A friend that I had a falling out with had her baby a few days after mine and her mom posted a photo of them on Facebook and her baby is not really cute (has her moms old nose) and her formerly perfect body is bigger than mine.
