@serenla THAT FACE!!! I'm cracking up a little bit.
Thanks for all the sweet thoughts. Worst case scenario is we move in with my Mom for a few months until we find something to buy. Not the end of the world. It's not ideal, but I'm trying to stay positive.
You're in the Boston area, right? Want to buy my condo??
I made the best pizza tonight. Charred cherry tomatoes with a spinach & parmesan mix with fresh mozzarella on top. I keep rearranging the slices on the cutting board so DH won't realize how much of it I've eaten.
Volunteered at the consignment shop again tonight and got a free Johnny jumper!! A loves it! It's totally pink and flowery, but I'm sure he won't ever notice.

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
Went to dinner after work with a few friends for the first time without baby since he was born. My boyfriend had both kids for bedtime alone since Chase was born (he's spoiled) came home to both kids in pjs, the house picked up, screaming teething baby, stressed out daddy, happy toddler eating goldfish on the couch watching curious George. Who says TV is bad snuggled Kars, brushed her teeth, got her in bed. Soothed Chase to sleep and showered in about 20 mins I feel like super mom but now everyone is in bed and I feel like I spent no time with my family today with work and dinner. I want them to wake up and hang out mind fuck I tell you this parenting thing.
G won't sleep tonight. He won't fall asleep in the pnp, he screams bloody murder in the RnP. I don't know what else to do. He's barely napping during the day too. I'm so tired of doing this alone and DH doesn't understand. DS1 was literally sleeping through the night at 6 weeks on a regular basis. By this age, he was sleeping 10 hours straight at night or more plus 3 amazing naps during the day. DH keeps trying to tell me to fix it. He isn't here, he doesn't see that I'm doing the same stuff I did with DS1, it just doesn't work with G! And if G does fall asleep for a nap, it never happens when DS1 is napping. I'm so ready to quit. I've been looking at job ads, dreaming of getting a job when we move so I could at least get away during the day. However, I would only make enough to pay for both kids daycare so that makes no sense. And now a pic to remind myself it's worth it and I'd hate to miss moments like this.
Hugs and overflowing coffee cups to the mamas with no sleep last night bummer!!!!
We are going to the fair today! Went last year and it was the first day my MS really kicked in. Popcorn stand! Barf! Fried dough stand! Barf! Cows! Barf!!! So fun !!!
Brady woke up early and wouldn't go back to sleep so I made pancakes. Now I'm banging around the house trying to wake everyone else up, because... PANCAKES
@Tferr02 - Im so sorry your littlest is giving you hell and that your DH isn't being helpful. I know you are doing your absolute best! Hopefully he grows out of this extremely fussy stage soon! I daydream about going back to work all the damn time.
@mamrotu73 - I hope he feels better soon! Tylenol?
How do I reset my baby? I'm sure he comes with a button right? He was sleeping well 5 weeks ago waking up once or not at all. Now he wakes 2-4 times a night and I'm tired. He is still swaddled because he likes touching his face too much and gets too worked up without it. Where's the magic reset button? I don't want factory mode, just restore to best point. Damn it I'm tired.
@thomas930 how are YOU doing? Any plans for the weekend?
I'm hanging in. I'm struggling with PPA/PPD right now, even on meds. I don't know if its just because my older kids are being more of a handful right now or what, but I'm ready to quit.
Only plans for the weekend is a bday party for some good friends kids. I'm hoping to get out either tonight or tomorrow for some me time and hopefully that will help me relax and reset.
~Missed MC at 8 weeks. D&C at 12 weeks on 4/17/13~
I have a wedding to attend today and I'm pretty excited to show off my baby to all the family members who haven't met him. Call me selfish! I'm also excited for the break I will get from holding him all day. Maybe I'll sneak off somewhere and take a nap.
@ambarnett1 - I got a fake ID when I was 17 and bought a six pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade and didn't get carded.
I turn 30 this year and now I'm sad when they don't ask to see my ID. I'll be like, do you need to see my license? And that little punk cashier will be like, no, ma'am.
I just mowed the lawn for the first time in my life! My dad hurt his back so he can't do it right now. That electric push mower is freaking hard and it's south florida mid august which equals the same temps as hell. But I did it!

This is a convo with my SIL. She gets me.

Whoops, there I go complaining about my job.
No! I hate everyone enjoying their weekend!

I just went poop on the potty and treated myself with M&Ms. I could get used to this setup.
