    @purespark‌ hahaha @ fem bot show! You're hilarious. If I could guarantee they wouldn't ask me questions I wouldn't care as much.

    Bought everything for my box! I just need to ship it. Probably a stupid question but are we supposed to put anything in it so they know who it's from?

    We loved the magnificent baby sleepers especially in NB size. Magnets are the best ever for MOTN changes. They are pricey, but high quality.

    @MrsW26 @Emily041285 You are both making me wonder if I should take DS in for a weight check. He had a big drop down to the 5% between his 2 month and 4 month appointments, but his doctor wasn't too concerned because he grew in length quite a bit. It has been bothering me, though; so, we started solids a little earlier than I had otherwise planned to. Hmm...


    This is DD to a 'T', she is also at less than 5th percentile for weight, but between 25th and 50th for height.  My pediatrician isn't concerned, so I'm not going to worry.

    Despite this, she still has a double chin and thigh rolls!

    This weekend kicked my ass and I'm so exhausted today! I wanted to lay down and finally got this stinking baby to take a nap and the school calls, my 9yo missed the bus! How do you forget to leave school? So I had to wake up LO and go pick her up. This poor baby can't get a break, every nap gets interrupted.

    I'm thinking I might drive down to SB and go job hunting. I feel so lost in life right now. I just don't even know what to do. DH is an idiot. I am contemplating other drastic changes as well.

    Have you ever felt the best thing you could do was leave? I am contemplating leaving DH. I don't feel he has our children's best interests at heart. For over 10years now I have followed him through everything. But I'm not sure I can anymore. I don't want my parents raising my daughters but unless I go down there I have no child care to go back to work. And know he doesn't want to go back to his old company because they won't offer his friend his job back? I am so irrationally mad.

    Hugs @RedDawnsRevenge sometimes men just can't see the wider picture. DH and I call it "going into his cave" when he retreats into himself. He hasn't done it for a while, thank god, but we were within inches of divorcing last time he really retreated. 

    I am home sick, not fun. But DH and LO are both asleep and I'm on the couch bumping and working on an assignment. Its actually very peaceful!

    @RedDawnsRevenge‌ if he's continually not making good choices for your family then he needs to know that the end is near and he better shape up or you're leaving. Of course, if you are very unhappy then leaving will be the best for meadow and ryver. Take care of yourself first and it will all fall into place.

    @aprilmay9 so in March DH went to work for a traveling wind company. They climb towers work on wind turbines, that sort of thing. And they were going from job to job all over the states. Well a couple months ago his friend Will got a call from an old friend wanting him to go work for him in NC selling life insurance for a brokerage. Will went on ahead of DH and DH became his companies lead tech. So finally DH joins Will in NC and goes through the process of getting his license and everything to sell out there. Well it's not all roses out there as promised. And they only make money when they sell, there's no base pay and you get paid months after the policy is sold. So MIL has been paying our bills. I have been telling DH it's a scam this whole time, but I know nothing and he doesn't listen. MIL agrees with me, this is a first. So last week he decided he would go back to work in wind as things aren't working. Well they will only give him $23 an hour, not the 30 he wants. Also if he wants FT and benefits he must relocate to IL. And the 3rd thing: they don't want Will back. So DH has refused their offer. He's crazy. Diesel mechanics only make $16 an hour with their own tools. Which are all here. So no tools= minimum wage. Then he says he'll take it until I can come out there and go back to work. I don't have a license in NC. And they aren't free, and I have no one here to watch my kids while I go and get my paperwork to send off for NC license. It takes 3-4m to get a license, it's not quick. I want to go back to work, that's not the issue. But refusing a job because they don't want to hire your friend back while your family suffers is insane. So next weekend I'm going down to my parents, my mom who is also a nurse is going to watch my kids while I go hunting. But no one can ever know we are related as it's not allowed in her company.

    Am I crazy? Sorry this was so long

    Man, @reddawnsrevenge I'm so sorry that you're at this point. I don't have anything to add to PP's, but I wanted to send a hug. It sounds like this situation is so exhausting and frustrating and I'm hoping that you and DH can work things out.

    You're not crazy. Your husband is a selfish asshole. He has kids and a wife to provide for...I don't give a fuck if it's shoveling horse shit on a farm and working nights at Burger King. Tell that man to smarten the fuck up or you're outie 5000. You're already doing everything on your own anyway, what's he contributing? His friend Will is more important than you? What the fuck. I'm so mad for you!

    I even sold my beloved '69 VW so we would have an income. And funny thing I just got done telling my mom I'd go back to working at BK if it would save my family. Honestly DH has never ever had a job he's ever gotten for himself, he has always depended on a friend or his mom for work. I e worked my ass off for every job I've ever had. When I was working as a nurse he used to call me a glorified maid. I'm sorry trauma nursing is hard. It is so hard and so demanding. We have to have all the knowledge and training ICU does plus tons more certifications. The burn out rate is so high, and I am burnt out, but I'm willing to go back to save my babies from living in a cardboard box on the side of the freeway.

    um @reddawnsrevenge a glorified maid? fuck that. That would induce a rage. what. an. asshole. As far as work goes... could you work for a college doing online courses?

    No I don't have an MSN nor am I in school anymore working on it so not qualified to teach nursing. Because getting a masters is hard and expensive so I stopped.

    @celticlullaby‌ id really love to be a MH nurse and was once offered a position at an inpatient facility but turned it down. I wish I hadn't.

    I want to see you in a Viking hat. Just thinking of it makes me laugh.

    if you were enrolled online and took one class at a time would the income out weigh the cost of the program?

    I was doing western governors university and their program is unlimited units for a solid price. So 3 units or 19units it all costs the same. Fresno state no longer offers an online MSN so id have to do in class.

    Now he says he's coming home on the 22nd. I asked him what the game plan is. He doesn't have one. So it's all up to me. So much for my plans to go job hunting. He might just have to eat it and come with me and look for jobs or stay here by himself while I take the girls down south with me.

    @RedDawnsRevenge, I'm sorry that you have to deal with that crap from your husband.  I really hope that you can talk some sense into him, for the sake of your family.

    So, this was my Friday night/Saturday morning...

    DS has a cold, that is causing his asthma to flare up which makes him cough like crazy.  I put him to bed, and 5 minutes later he comes out of his room (typical for a toddler) but rather than coming to talk, he drops to his knees right by his door and looks at my pitifully.  I open my arms to ask him to snuggle, and he slowly makes his way over and climbs into my lap, gives me a hug, then pulls back and coughs...

    and throws up...

    on himself...

    and me...

    multiple times...

    So, I do the only think I can do, and laugh, then hug him to me (sandwiching the mess between us) and carry him into the bathroom to strip us both down.  He goes to bed and sleeps until about 3:00 in the morning, when I hear him calling for me.

    I stumble up into his room in the dark and he is asking for his lovey, so I start feeling around on his bed and put my hand into cat poop...it was still warm.

    I had missed cleaning the litter box by 1 days and cat was pissed, so he pooped on DS's bed.  DS doesn't like to be covered with a blanket at night, so I strip the blanket off and leave the sheets.  Next morning we all get up and rush out to take DS to the doctor.  When I get home I find out that cat thinks I didn't get the hint, since I haven't had time to clean the box yet, and he's peed on DS's bed too.

    Have I mentioned that our washing machine isn't working?  And DH is out of town?

    By the way, anyone want a cat?
