  So, I have to fly for 4 hours with Isla for my uncle's funeral. Flying when she was 4 weeks was easy because she slept, but I'm super worried now. She cannot sit still for anything, and I don't see this going well. Help me to not be that mom. What toys do I get? Apps? Sleeping pills?

  Baby Einstein. I know screen time is a hot topic but this is a situation were you use all available to you.

  Exactly. I will do whatever it takes to not be the person everyone hates and complains about. The situation sucks enough as it is, I don't want to start it off with four hours of hell.

  LO stressed me out so bad today. DH got off work early and I bailed once he got home. Went and got a brow wax and dropped $80 on make-up. I just felt like I needed to do something for myself. The past few days have been rough with this kid.

  I sent my dad a text saying that I haven't decided, but going on the trip doesn't seem like a good idea. He texted back (only way he communicates with me) and said 'you went down south so you need to go over to Indiana because it's only 4 or 5 extra hours to drive'. Ugh! WTF. He never understands. I know if I go he will not respect bedtime, nap time, feedings, etc and he hasn't even asked about DH going. I feel like I have to tell him about the pregnancy and lie and say I'm super sick again or something. I hate telling him the truth that his family doesn't give a fuck about me or my son/DH, so why should I stress out. I'm so torn up about this.
  
  Excited I finally got my exchange buddy, so I can creep on them and find out what they like.

  Just read this.  These ladies both did pretty much everything wrong.  Total fail.

  I also don't condone hitting someone, but that woman shouldn't have said anything to the mother. There are lots of issues out there that kids have that others may not be familiar with. That woman may have thought it was a tantrum, but it could have been because of a behavioral or mental issue.
  A facebook friend shared this article and said its the worst when mothers can't control their kids. I was about to comment then I saw she had already been put in her place by plenty of other people. She has no kids either.

  I want to cry. I had the web md baby app and was filling up a digital baby book with weekly photos of Dylan and different dates for some of his firsts. When I redownloaded the app just now and logged in all that stuff was gone. Such bullshit. What's the point of having people create a profile if the data they entered can't be accessed on different devices. I'm so sad about this

  DH work had a family BBQ today, so we all went. DH played football there, while I got to watch a fussy baby and a 2 year old that was hysterical because Daddy wasn't playing football with him. Since we got home, DH has been complaining like crazy that his back is killing him. I feel somewhat guilty that I really have no sympathy for him. I need to get back to the Dr and get back on all my meds, because right now I feel resentful that every day of my life is excruciating pain and I care for 2 kids all day and get no sympathy from DH. However a sore back for him and the world must stop.

  @reddawnsrevenge - that looks fantastic! Does it taste as good as it looks?

  
  

  So, so happy it's Friday. Went for a run with the little one, and am now enjoying some pizza and wine while watching this weeks' Scandal with DH. Just feeling very fortunate with my life right now - I've been feeling really anxious/down the last few days, so this feeling of peace I have right now is pretty wonderful .

  I'm septic from this stupid abscess in my mouth. I have to have antibiotic shots every day until my surgery on Wednesday. My butt hurts from them. I'm literally and figuratively butt-hurt. I do have some awesome pain killers though!

  @CalinAZ‌ yes it is as good as it looks. We had worried it was going to be bitter, but it's so smooth. It's got a hint of smokiness that I hadn't expected. And holy moly the alcohol content is massive.

  DH and I are renewing our vows on 11/26, and I'm officially changing my last name to his. I am excited, but kinda sad at the same time. I feel like I'm losing my identity. His last name is so generic. I want to do it though.

  Maybe he would take yours. Or you could choose a new one to share. Mrs. Awesomesauce maybe?

  That would be so amazing. We gave the kids his name with the thought that some day I would change mine to match. Had we given them mine, he'd change his.

  @joytomylifex We flew with DS1 when he was this age and I was surprised at how easy it was. I took a swaddle blanket with me and swaddled him the whole time we were on the plane. He slept the entire trip. I just made sure that during our layovers he had time to stretch and wiggle. Good luck!

  If you or some one you know own a Britax car seat you need to check the restraint attachments. Apparently some are leaving the factory not installed properly.

  I think I know who my buddy is without their bump name, and I'm pretty excited about it, but I hope I'm right otherwise what I'm planning on making/doing will be completely off for whoever gets it. Please post your screen names on Elfster! Some of us want to do personalized gifts! I know I'm not the only buddy who is wondering and waiting for a response to their "anonymous questions."

  Pro-tip for everyone who is as slow as I am, if someone asks you an anonymous question, elfster doesn't email you.

  Evan is napping in his crib for the first time! I can go into our bedroom right now if I wanted, and we don't have to be nearly so quiet downstairs anymore . Fingers crossed it's the start of a new thing!

  
  

  Also, getting very depressed reading about the person currently leading in the votes for our state superintendent. This is the opening of her opening bio: "I began studying the American education system and the federal government's ever increasing intrusion into our local control since the early 1990s. I did it on my own, for my own edification rather than through a college of "education" in order to add letters after my name.

  
  

   So...let's get this clear. You believe you are qualified to shape this state's education because you chose not to go to school for education? How does that make sense??
  

  
  

  Very happy we're moving before our little boy starts school.

  So I've had 2 c/s, there was no pushing or anything with this failed VBAC. I think my vag is broken dispite it's non-use in infant expulsion. Normally I use instead cups, but I didn't bring any lady time supplies with me and Wal-Mart doesn't sell anything even remotely crunchy. All sizes of tampons are leaking. Need to locate a local store that sells menstral cups.

  Hopefully you have better luck than I did, I went back to tampons.  Going to try the cup again next time.

  Ordered a diva cup from Amazon. Was tempted to get the Sckoon, maybe if this goes well I will. I do like my instead soft cups, especially during a long shift when you can't get to a bathroom. I should have remembered AF was coming. I have used an entire box of tampons today! They gave a whole foods/lazy acres/el rancho in Santa Barbara and SLO but I didn't want to drive an hour for a cup.
