So in 2009 my husband go poison ivy all over his body (junk included) and he refused. REFUSED! To go to the doctor until it almost spread in his eye. Today he was whining about how I took his car and accidentally took my keys too so he couldn't go to the walk in last night to get steroids because he has it again. It's one spot and smaller than a dime. I started belly laughing. Most sympathetic wife of the year right here.

I read something that said breast milk will help dry up poison ivy. Not sure if it's true but I am curious since when my DH gets it, it spreads like wildfire.

Macaroni pizza

Hmm... macaroni pizza. Must give it a try one day.

I definitely brought home food from work after a ten hour shift at the restaurant. I'm freaking wiped, man.

Add me to the list of those trapped under a sleeping baby today. She doesn't usually sleep on me like this (I think my boobs get in her way, lol) so I'm soaking it up. I wanted to start putting away the laundry and getting some dishes done, but I love the snuggles!

Also, I dunno if anyone saw it a while back, but I posted a pic of Alera in the mei tai asking if it looked right and never got any responses. I'd love to take her for walks in it, but I want to make sure it won't hurt her. =/ I no longer have the pic on my phone, but is anyone willing to go back and look for me? Or, hell, I could find it and quote myself. XD

@SoulTermination, I just went and looked up your old post. The instructions I follow for my Mei Tai have you put the upper straps over your shoulders, cross in back then come around the front and tie at baby's back (not under their bum). Like this Mom has on her front baby:

The alternative is to have them pass over your LO's legs, cross in front, under LO's legs and tied in back:

Both of these methods close up the sides of the carrier to make them safe for LO.

Breastfed Logan while wearing him in a ringsling today!!!! I've never been able to successfully accomplish this with my older two!

This evening sucks. I didn't get banana bread made, speech therapy is going so well DS1 shoved the enchiladas back at me and said, "Ew. Yuck. Trash!" And DH is all kinds of cranky that my housework priorities are different than his. Which means he'll be all pissy if I try to make banana bread now.

If it makes you feel any better, I too would rather have banana bread

Watching Pride and Prejudice, I love this movie!

allyandmike24 · August 2014

Whoever said they feel bad seeing the dinners everyone is making: I literally cooked zero things almost my entire pregnancy. I couldn't stand the smell of food. I'm making up for 9 months of torture!!!!

Also: dinner was ready and a small person decided that was the perfect time for a cranky fuss fest. So she just went down and I'm eating cold dinner and watching last nights Daily Show.

allyandmike24 · August 2014

Oh shoot @macgrs- I just thought of something potentially awesome! DH has to work in CT in the upcoming weeks. Are you close to New Haven at all?? I was toying with the idea of going with him! We could totally have a dinner date!

I may have to buy this pattern. dr. Who Tardis scarf. I'm not sure it will ever be cold enough here for a scarf?

I will have to look into it. It requires about 10skeins of yarn! That's getting awefully close to lake monster blanket territory to me. So first step is to see if I can even get the colors at my LYS or if I have to get it from webs or something.

Ashleypixie · August 2014

I've just so had it tonight. Getting up at 6:30, cleaning the house, walking four miles, running the kids to two separate activities EVERYSINGLEDAY. I get home at 8pm and make myself and DD dinner, and H picks up DS from football at 9pm. Long as fuck day today and the baby was being a total bitch when I was trying to get her down. I hate how when I hand her over to DH he gets all defensive about how he DOES help too. How the fuck you figure?! 14 hours is a long day with a baby, yet he's comparing that to the 2 hours HE sees her? He's perfectly willing to help but it'd just be nice if he didn't compare every goddamn thing I do with what he does. Sorry, just a vent. He's a total dick tonight.

Today I nearly forgot I needed to pump while I was out doing home visits, and I brought my new coworker along. Thankfully she didn't mind going into a group home by herself so I could pump in the car before meeting her inside. Oh what fun!

speechie517 · August 2014

@celticlullaby I'm glad speech therapy is going well though! I love it when a little one uses new words...I always tell parents as a joke..."We can't take it back once they start" since usually the family starts hearing a lot more, "no", "mine", and "stop".

pineconey · August 2014

This always happens- I have a back injury that flares up every few months and affects my hips (and eventually knees) if I ignore it and don't go to the chiro. It's been 2 months, and today was the day it started hurting again. My doc is out on Wednesdays.
Doh!
It's always a Tuesday or Friday late afternoon (closed weekends).

DH and I finally came up with a game plan of how he's going to help with LO. I can't be the only one who parents all day every day. Dad can't equal fun for 2 hours and mom equals boob and naptime. I'm so tired of feeling this struggle on my own. I just don't feel like I'm even enjoying my son because I am doing it on my own. Time to buck up and help me out.

I feel the same way! DH is all, what's for dinner and yet doesn't take the baby so I can cook? Wth?? He has yet to do any kind of bedtime routine with LO, which makes me nervous for when my evening chorus rehearsals start back up next month. Well, he can just deal, as I've had to.

I'm interested to hear your gameplan. I think we need some adjustments at my house, too. I try not to be the naggy wife but I'm usually out of patience by the end of the day.

Tferr02 · August 2014

This night is worse than G's newborn days. He has been up about every hour. I'm so exhausted. The worst part is he's been boycotting naps too, so I'm not even getting a break during the day.

Are we still doing ugly outfits? Because I dressed LO like a ninja turtle today. The shoes! Ahaha

Omg yes. The pants and shoes combo is hilarious...

ambarnett1 · August 2014

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with DH and his responsibilities as a father. Thankfully my mom is coming up from SC (I'm in MD) today! I'll finally get cleaning done, a nap, go out to dinner with DH and I don't have to drag ds along to go change my license tomorrow. Yay!

But, af was due yesterday I think. Sigh, I need to take a preg test. Ugh.

thomas930 · August 2014

The two year old is Mr. Grump Pants this morning. I kind of wish he would just go back to bed and restart in a better mood.

Also, I can't remember if I took my meds last night.....ugh.

@Dani, that's awesome!

Xxlilies · August 2014

Anyone seen my good sleeper? He looks a lot like this guy

The shoes aren't bad by themselves, but those pants!! I'd seen that stuff in the store, and definitely passed even though I thought the shirt was cute...

hlm184 · August 2014

Every time I think "this sleep regression can't get any worse" it does. Now we're down to 45 minutes to an hour at night, and back to either 30 minute catnaps or "WILL ONLY SLEEP ON MOMMY!"

Coming down with my first daycare cold. Wahhhh!! My head, throat, ears and nose!! On the bright side, I'm complaining more than my baby. What an awesome dude.

The worst! LO and I were sick off and on for a solid month between two separate colds and hand, foot and mouth. I definately did more complaining over the duration too... $:\$ ">

PoppySeedWindsor · August 2014

It's hump day and I got laid AND breakfast and coffee made for me before hubster left for work.

I am MOST excited about the coffee...not gonna lie.

pineconey · August 2014

DH is dealing with mega allergies so I've been solo parenting all night. Thank goodness A is finally starting to get better at sleeping! I was only up at 1 and 5.
Frustrated that we've tried everything to relieve his allergies but he's still struggling. I hate seeing him like this AND he's going to have to miss at least part of the workday today. There's no way he can function to work like this.

RedDawnsRevenge · August 2014

This pump has btoken 3 times in 17weeks. That has to be a record!

Tferr02 · August 2014

My sister, her two kids and I and DS1 were going to go to a small water park this morning, however she called a hour before and bailed on us. Her friend invited her and her kids to a music class so she went to that instead. I'm really bummed and so exhausted that I can't come up with something else to do with DS1 today.

AmyV416 · August 2014

RANT: fuck you judgy lady in the food store. Yes, I'm FF. My baby is healthy and happy and not about to spontaneously combust. I'm thrilled you breast fed for a year. Did you get a medal and a cookie for your accomplishment?

what happen to just taking care of our children, nourishing them, and helping them grow happily and healthy?

Emily041285 · August 2014

Wearing maternity capris because I'm out of normal capris and wearing pants in this heat is not gonna happen.

Two people have asked me if I lost weight so far today. I may wear these pants every day now...

RedDawnsRevenge · August 2014

@Tferr02‌ I would go to the water park with you. Told my GF all summer I wanted to go, but now school is back in so I guess that's not going to happen.

AmyV416 · August 2014

@dani+california‌ I wanted so badly to tell her off, but I had only had 2 sips of my iced coffee, and was pretty much still half asleep. Who does that?!

"oh I see you're buying so much formula, what an expense and an injustice to the beautiful baby. I BF my son for a year."

WTF?!

So, and this for the group at large, how long did it take to say "Yay, sex!" again? Because DH and I DTD last night for the first time since baby and it sucked. A slept well the past week. Then last night DH did bedtime while I soaked in the tub. After, he brought wine for us both and sat on the tile floor while I kept soaking. Then we shared some Ben & Jerry's. I thought this was a good set up, and I'd be excited for all those things again... except the sex.

It goes back and forth from good to bad for me. I can count on one hand the number of times we've successfully had sex in the past 4 months. Last night hurt but the time before that it was pretty good. I'm very frustrated right now....and my sex drive seems to have disappeared yet again.

Roufi · August 2014

@AmyV416‌ that's unbelievable! A TP would totally have been the appropriate response

For reals? That's what she said? What a see-you-next-Tuesday.
