When I bought my car, I negotiated for the maintenance package they wanted me to buy to just be included for free. So my lazy butt just lets them do all the things now cuz I'm not paying for it.
I have a leased car so the package includes the Maintainence. Yah!!$
I could probably write a daily segment on why toddlers are assholes. They drive you fucking nuts all day and then they are super sweet and funny, which makes it all worth it. Definitely a challenge though.
My cousin (and maybe one or 2 other people) put together this young adult retreat thing. The first was last year, but I was big and pregnant (actually I was still small and cutely pregnant, but I didn't know it at the time) and needed to save money anyway. This year we have the money to go, but I was told I couldn't bring baby girl. I texted him asking why and he said it's supposed to be a relaxing thing, so it would defeat the purpose of that, and if he let one person's kid go, he would have to let everyone's kid go, and not everyone has well-mannered, well-behaved kids.
I'm just annoyed because 1) she's not a kid, she's a baby. 2) If anyone would be bothered by her presence, it would be me and/or my husband, and it wouldn't affect anyone else. And 3) she's breastfed, and I guess I could pump, but it would be so much easier to not have to do that, and I wouldn't be comfortable being 3 1/2 hours away from her for a weekend anyway.
I guess I probably do need to get over it (I have to anyway), but it's just dumb. :-<
My brother did the same exact thing a month ago. He lives 3 hours away and threw a party for my SIL and told me I couldn't bring my baby that he STILL has yet to meet! He's obviously a total dick and I didn't go. Your annoyance is totally justifiable.
I seriously do not have the energy to go down to the medical office alone while trying to manage two kids again. I just can't.
I'm so sorry. is there a website for the agency - can you send a contact so maybe then they can call you back?
The letter gives you a case worker and their #. Well she no answer and her mailbox is full. How convenient.
I was looking forward to this apt. I was hoping they could prescribe something for this constant vomiting. Even if I go back to work who is going to want to watch a kid that constantly vomits all day. I feel so stuck. Just when something seems like it might go my way I get slammed back down.
My toddler definitely makes me lose my temper. I try to put him in time out before I lose my shit. We both can calm down and he knows he has to say sorry when he comes out. I guess he's cute sometimes, haha. He does say "mommy" so sweetly that it melts my heart every single time.
Also, I was just thinking "I need a table saw." But them I remembered that my uncle, who lives only 30mins from our new place was a cabinet maker and built a lot their current house's stuff. I'm sure he has some really nice tools he would lend me and also give me pro-tips.
I can't wait to move. And I love power tools.
I love power tools too. I want a miter saw so I can make furniture, though I don't have enough room in my house to make furniture.

Re: toddlers Since I've been home from work at 5 Karsyn threw a toy at my head "on accident", ripped my favorite book. dropped a picture frame off the coffee table & broke it, & had a meltdown when we left the park.
Then she sang twinkle twinkle to her little brother & hugged us saying "my family" and she loves him.
Makes you so angry you could scream then melt all in the course of 15-20 mins :x Toddlers.
I never get mad when people say "no kids" at events. I totally get it. I didn't include kids when I was planning events before I had one and I think it's planner's prerogative. It's not all about you. Gotta get over it. But, like @Vinny424 said, I often also don't go then. But that's my choice and it's nice that they still invite ME even if they don't invite my child.
since @viny424 called me out, I'll stop my hardcore lurking and quick intro.
Hi, my names shelby and i've been a legit hardcore lurker/love titter since.. last august. I'm 20, married for two years next month and my son carter was born on 4/21 via ECS. My husband is a marine and i basically live almost in hell thanks to this arizona sun. oh and if it weren't for most ofyou ladies i would probably know nothing and feel like a mad woman most days.
I'm getting close to this. Just told DH last night that if DD gets up at night, I need to pump so he will have to feed her (EP). Supply is going down and I have no idea why
@aronie82 I haven't done cereal but this is how my lc suggested I bring my supply up just enough to have extra: either pump for longer time (at least 5 minutes after the last drops) or turn your pump up a little stronger than normal. I've done both, mostly because I get caught up bumping and forget when I started, and can usually end the day with an extra 1.5 oz. the pedi said this was enough to make cereal with.
Just did a quick google search. Near our new home is a gym with childcare (I can pull an @Tferr02!) and there is a moms club!
Lol! It's seriously the best idea I have had all summer! On Tuesday, I took a shower and read a book at the gym. Definitely do it! I already found a new gym in Jacksonville for when I move.

What part of Arizona? DS1 was born 2 years ago at Ft Bliss, El Paso, TX. I don't miss that hell heat.
Pumping is a pain in the ass. My nipples are sooo sore after starting to up my sessions. Been trying to pump even on days I don't work to stock up a bit... Good luck.

Day two of nine complete (DH is in the feild again).This time around is a lot easier for some reason. The days are going by quickly and I'm not scared at night. I think I'm getting this whole army wife thing down.
