DS would not sleep in his pack and play last night. So, since we are out of town, I laid some blankets down and let him sleep on the floor. Does that make me a horrible parent?
Aiden just discovered he can play with the inner strap of my nursing tank while nursing, and by play I mean stretch it out and let it snap back... Good thing the elastic is mostly shot already!

Dylan naps on a blanket on the living room floor sometimes. You're fine. He slept right?
My one night for H to wake up with liam turned into him waking up at 11:30, refusing a bottle from H and then proceeding to wake up every 2 hours after.
Bro.. Wtf man. Let me sleep!!! I'm irrationally upset over this.
Making skull cakes. My aunt got my crazy sister a fancy williams-sonoma skull pan for Halloween. The girl doesn't cook! I'm half tempted to take it home with me, she won't notice it's gone right? Pictures to follow.

My sister thinks it's ok to take stuff I don't use a lot. I fucking hate it

Ok, fine, I'll leave it. But for the record, this is likely the only time this pan will ever get used, unless I make skull cake again next year.

I'm about to put on a pot of potato soup and also try a recipe I found for cinnamon apple bread! It's chilly and rainy here so it's a perfect night for it. I also hid a Sprite in the fridge last week and just remembered it so I am going to mix it with strawberry vodka! Should be a good night. What's everyone up to tonight?
Anniversary date was a success! MIL said Edolie only cried on the car ride over there. She only slept for an hour the entire 5 hours she was there, but she was relatively easy to get to sleep tonight despite that! I'm counting it as a win. <:-P

@mamrotu73 yay for getting to the new house! Do you have to wait long for household goods? We have to wait a week. Camping in our house with two little ones isn't the most fun I've had.
Ugh... I take it back on ILs babysitting being a success. She has woken up at 12:45, 3:30 and 6:15 so far! She hasn't woken up more than twice since she was much much younger. I know it's because she was overstimulated yesterday. Boooo. :-q
ETA: So, what would y'all do? Edolie was sleepy yesterday around 2:45 yesterday, and I tried putting her to sleep but my ILs showed up at 3 to get her. She didn't sleep on the car ride over there and cried (because she was tired), and then my MIL texted me at 4:30 saying she hadn't slept but was happy. I told her if she's being held and stimulated then she won't show many signs of being tired, but I KNEW she was tired. Shortly after that she slept for 30 minutes. Then she said Edolie fell asleep just for a few minutes some time after that, and then didn't sleep until 7:45ish for 30 minutes again.
Would y'all ask that she try to get her nap better next time (this would probaby require a lot of fussing and fighting), or just deal with an overtired baby later since it's likely for just only one night?
ETAA: I had also written down the times she would be tired (3:15, 5:15 & 715), so it's not like she was clueless about her nap schedule... And I also talked with them before they left. :-/

@edoliesmom My in-laws keep DS up longer than they should when they watch him, too. It's kind of annoying but I know it's just because they want to play with him as much as they can. I've kind of just accepted that as part of the deal when they watch him. Thankfully it doesn't happen all that often (them watching him, I mean.) If they watched him frequently I would ask them to make naps a higher priority but if it's just once in awhile, I would just let it go.

@edoliesmom I usually just have to deal with over stimulation and tiredness when my MIL watches my kids. I always let her know when they should be sleepy but its then up to her to get them to sleep or deal with what happens by letting them stay up. Yes that means I usually do to but its usually only that one night that may get disrupted. I've found that I can't make anyone do everything that I want when they watch my kids but as long as they are safe, loved on and taken care of then I have to let it go if I want to be able to go out with out them. I can be very controlling and really like things to be done my way so its taken me a long time to let go of some things.
Hope that makes sense...caffiene hasn't kicked in yet and I'm still foggy this morning

Thanks @hordol and @thomas930. I feel like you and I are very alike in that area @thomas930! I need some default questions to ask myself before I get worked up about something. "Are they safe?" Yes. "Are they happy?" Yes. Then I should just let it go!

Today I woke up feeling ill. I think all the stress I've been carrying is finally catching up to me. I'm just so tired of being the one to carry all the burdens (and lately it has been a ton) while DH just prances through life flopping his dick around and watching YouTube videos. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy but I just want him to take on some of the load sometimes. I feel like I have to figure everything out while he just sits back and enjoys life.
Thanks guys. I spoke with him this morning and he is now cleaning the entire house. Like deep clean. I told him I want to take more of an initiative to fix things, rather than wait for me to tell him.
It also doesn't help that I feel bad asking him to work on the weekends since he works so much as it is. But I guess a small honey-do list isn't going to hurt.
Six month photos are this afternoon, and I'm trying to work naps around them so Aiden isn't a cranky mess. FX these go well - I just want one decent photo of all three of us... Preferably in the same photo!
@mamrotu73 I may not be thinking this through, but AT&T has a wireless cable box you can set up anywhere. You would just have to install the wired one in a separate room. So if you want a tv in your bedroom, you could put the main one there. I'm not even sure if that helps, but I hope you get it figured out!
