1. Another sleep shitshow at Casa de ShellBell. That's all I'll say. 2. Regardless? I look awesome today. I have a great new outfit. 3. My parents are coming for the weekend. This means I'll get a break. 4. I'm having a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast!
Good morning! I decided to sleep in for an extra 30 min this morning instead of exercising, and I'm kicking myself for it now. I most likely won't have time to workout later
Yeahbut you burn calories when you sleep. Or at least that's what I tell myself.
LO is still sleeping. We have the lights in in his room, we're running in and out of there, we're talking, the tv is on.... So he can sleep through that, but not when it's dark with soothing ocean sounds and "Bach at Bedtime" playing quietly in the background.

What if LO hates Bach? Could that be the problem? It's not possible for my LO to hate Bach...right?

Lol Shellbell! Maybe he has a different composer of choice?
Well, crap, if he likes Mozart, I'm going to wonder if he was switched at birth.
Michael Wurm, Jr., from Inspired by Charm (he is big on Pinterest) repinned one of MY pins! I feel like a Pinterest rock star
Someone else has to know who I'm talking about...right?
I actually do. That's pretty awesome! What pin?
Well, now I feel lame! I just went to copy the link for the recipe and it turns out it is one of the recipes from his website. "> Oh well, it was still pretty cool to see that pop up in my email this morning!
@avswolf the "toy" i want is $200 :-O i told the BF to get it for me for christmas. but to make sure he doesn't let me unwrap it in front of the family lol
i gave LO some apple sauce for breakfast then i decided to try and cut up some banana for him to pick up and munch on....holy crap he is SO sticky! I'm probably going to have to give him a bath. but he loved the banana. which i guess makes it all worth it..but man. messy!
@shellbell3845 i can never get new posts on the FB app. i just go in the web brewers on my phone and go to Facebook.com and use the mobile browser. thats the only way i can follow the new posts. you'd think they would get the FB app dialed in with as many updates as they have one it

I have to go to the three lines on the right, scroll under feeds and select most recent.
You have to do this pretty much every time. It's stupid. Facebook is stupid.
@bluedot818 Your post about wanting the poppity pop dinosaur just reminded me that I have a ton of battery powered infant toys that I haven't broken out for DD, including the poppity pop dino.
@Iwubrory : I think I have you beat. LO's new favorite toy is a hand-me-down Elmo phone. The battery is basically dead, but if I leave it off for a while, then turn it on it'll beep and talk for a minute or two. Then I just let LO play with it noiseless. You need a screwdriver to change the battery. Ain't nobody got time for that.
just got in a huge fight with the BF over NOTHING. he's literally pissed at me for wearing his shirt (because its big and comfy!). oh, and because i voted for obama. literally. he's throwing a bitch fit because of a t-shirt, and obama. times like this I'm SO glad were not married.
@broccolisgirl YES! 8-| he was getting heated over a Facebook discussion (our newspaper posted "whats your feelings on the death penalty? lets discuss it!" and he was reading all the responses and it got him all fired up) and was going off about liberal california and i told him then just move already and quit bitching about it. and somehow that led to the argument.
@narcissticbeaut you and your BF seem to be at a loss for seeing eye to eye on a lot of things. Have you considered going to counseling to help figure out the best way for y'all to communicate?
I obviously only have a very small view into your relationship, so take this next part with a grain of salt. Do you really want be together? If so, I would stop nitpicking so much. It seems like listening and picking your battles would be a good thing.
For me, it seemed like I was a lot more nit picky when we were dating. After being married, all the little things started to not matter (depending on the week ) but I do agree, sometimes letting go and letting things slide helps. Although like dreamingbabies said, we only have a tiny window into your relationship!

oh i know >.< i think here too, that i tend to vent bc i keep my relationship very private from my friends and family. and thats because we all know those people that are constantly living their lives on Facebook and airs their laundry , and then gets upset bc people get a bad view of their significant other.
but with the BF..its odd with us. we have no in-between. things are either awesome or horrible. but more often than not, they're awesome. we are just very different from each other. so the thing that makes us so great together is also the thing that makes us so horrible for each other. either way. i know i nitpick a lot, and I'm trying to work on it. since LO has come along, we haven't found our groove as a new family instead of just as an "us". does that make sense?
and with me not working anymore, i feel like the tension between us has grown. that was one of the reasons i started school again. i really needed to focus on me again bc i feel like my life is LO and the BF. which is great, thats what i wanted, but going from my life being my work, to my life being my bf and son has gotten the better of me. i really hope we can figure things out soon or i do think our relationship is going to fall apart.
so its 645 and still no UPS with LOs car seat. it was supposed to be here yesterday, then it got changed to today. I'm going to be gone all day tomorrow so I'm worried i wont be here if it gets delivered! and we live in the ghetto, i would not be surprised if someone would steal it off our doorstep
Grey's Anatomy posted a trailer to their fb, my first thought when I saw it in my newsfeed was to share it with @Codypup. I clicked "share" then realized we're not fb friends, whomp whomp.
