TJ are you a Southerner with an accent? For some reason I thought you were a transplant.

Here's a random: I seriously applaud families with two working parents. I don't know how you get your kids ready every day and do all the transitions between home and daycare. I am randomly working at my old job this weekend to fill in and DH and I have spent far too long trying to work out the logistics.

I am a native Texan, but not a native Houstonian. I don't think I have much accent, but maybe some.

Sooooo, does that mean hearing you say the words Oil and Foil are kind of funny? My Mom and Grandma are from Texas. They still get a bit of an accent when they say these words.

I put tuna in the mac and cheese tonight because I was secretly hoping I wouldn't have to share. Instead, I had to share AND listen to DH complain about the tuna. It's cool, though, because I ate 2/3 of the box and said it must have been a small box because it was the organic kind

Win.

Why did he eat it if he was just going to complain about it?

Stupid hunger.

I regularly say I couldn't imagine getting us and M out of the house in the morning. It's enough work getting us out and having her stuff/food generally organized for a grandparent. But at least she can still be in her pjs and usually not fed when we leave. I would so be that parent dropping my kid off in pjs and throwing some clothes in a bag.

You get used to it. And routine helps a lot.

Plus, I don't send food for either of the kids now. I just make bottles and set up the diaper bags for the day (one backpack and one reusable grocery bag).

I eliminated dairy about a month ago thinking either A or I had a sensitivity, and I didn't think it made a huge difference, so I started incorporating it again. Small amounts of cheese and yogurt didn't seem to bother me or A. (Yay!)
But after my pumpkin spice latte frappaccino yesterday, A had bad gas pains and my stomach was not in good shape that evening. So I'm officially ditching milk, and probably raw milk cheese, for a long long time. :-(

sarenu1 · September 2014

I avoid anything with heavy cream in it. Which means that 99% of desserts at restaurants are off limits if I don't want to have issues after.

So project wean J off my right boob is proving to be successful. I woke up today and it wasn't even the slightest bit full. I didn't even feed him on that side until just now.

And Im a little sad about it.

Maybe it's lactose intolerance rather than protein?

ETA that's what it sounds like to me with the gas issues

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I never had any issues until I was pregnant with R. We've concluded that she had a mild lactose intolerance, and apparently A and I do now too. Pregnancy really screws a body up, yo!

I'm still eating cheese at our annual wine& cheese party, though. I'll have to find those lactaid pills you mentioned, MK!

I think the worst part @mapleme is no bloody mary's! I'm on a big bloody mary kick right now, so that would be tragic for me. Of course, with no soy I can't make the greatest of bloody mary's. But your hot sauces help.

I've been using the daikon (sp?) Hot Sauce in mine. I have to be careful with that stuff, it has a real kick.

@mandmeesh YGPM.

Can we do pages here?

unaveragejane · September 2014

I was super excited to find out that Oreos are dairy free until I tried eating them with almond milk. It's so not the same.

Why oh why can't they be soy free too?????

If my GD test is not making me feel jittery, is that a bad sign? Last time I remember feeling super jittery and nauseous. This time I'm fine... Although incredibly worried now,

TJ1979 · September 2014

I felt fine after my 2nd one too ITK. I was super nauseous after my first one. Isn't it funny how different things can be?

We'll apparently it affected me more than I realized because I came home and conked out on my couch for an hour and a half.

stoneycakes · September 2014

@TJ1979, you can make your own Worcestershire sauce. Is that where the soy is?

Yes @stoneycakes‌. I've never seen a gluten free soy free Worcestershire. Have you tried one?

I haven't tried making it myself, but it looks delicious and I want to. It looks both gluten and soy free, upon cursory inspection.

It's wine o clock. I'm having goldfish with my wine.

flummadiddle85 · September 2014

DS1 pooped in the empty tub while I was getting DS2 ready for bath time. He even stepped in it.

Mandmeesh · September 2014

Apparently my randoms only involve sleep.

We are entering night #16 of M sleeping in his own room and bed. His sleeping is WORSE than night #1. He has been waking every 45-90 minutes the last few days!!!

I don't know how much longer I can do it. I just need him to sleeeeeep
How do I get him to love a big stuffed bear and hug that instead of me when he wakes up in the MOTN?

And SAK, I realize that your sleep is even worse. And I'm sorry I'm a crybaby

I just about forgot my 30 day challenge squats again. But I didn't. I'm so proud mommy brain is starting to go away.

Microwave popcorn is gross.

Pumpkin spice candy corn in the fridge is awesome.

8 year old boys stink...literally. So do my 23.5 month old's feet.

TMI: Cue massive freakout ten minutes ago after wiping generous amounts of bright red blood after peeing. Apparently I have a cut, I don't know if I scratched myself or what. I'm super relieved it was nothing sinister. But JFC. My heart stopped when I saw it.

Yikes! I'm glad you and Katniss are ok!

bumpuser9353653 · September 2014

A coworker who has chickens just gave me a dozen fresh eggs. I am SO excited to be having them for breakfast this morning!

ETA: and Maple, your Not Hot Sauce was delicious on homemade hash browns :-)

Have you considered a different storage place for your knife?

All kidding aside, I'm glad you guys are ok.

Glad it turned out to be nothing major ITK!

And meesh, I'm sorry Ms sleep is just getting worse
I know you've tried all the things, but have you tried putting his bed in your room? I can't remember.

We haven't tried that. And I'm not sure I'm willing because of the tv in there. Mh can't sleep without it. So if the tv Is off for M, mh sleeps downstairs on the couch. Bedtime in this house is horrible, obviously

Mandmeesh · September 2014

I never put the tv on with M in our bed/room. Thus mh sleeping downstairs. Lol

And in his room I have a ridiculously loud fan going. The same one we had in my room.
The first night in his bed was better than the last few nights
