I just made a total impulse buy of a leather bound book of the US national parks. Monogrammed with hubs' initials. It looks super cool and I think hubs will like it, but I have no idea when I should give it to him. Birthday? Fathers day? Anniversary? Save it for 4 yrs until we move to CO?

Half Birthday just to surprise him.

Hah I thought about that. But the half birthday falls close to our anniversary.. and apparently I didn't get him the Harley accessories he wanted for Xmas, so I feel obligated to get those for his bday.

Maybe I'll just keep it for that random Tuesday when I'm feeling extra appreciative of him

I just went to lunch with my friend who is thinking about TTC and I'm afraid I made pregnancy and parenting sound really hard. I mean, it is really hard. But I'm supposed to sugar coat that part, right? I think I did it wrong.

I hated how many people told me that parenting was awful when I was pregnant. Very hard, yes, but parenting is far from awful and I still get my feathers ruffled thinking about that.

I definitely didn't say it was awful. I said it was wonderful. I did emphasize that it could be really hard with a lot of ups and downs. I just hope it came off how I meant it and not like an annoying know-it-all parent.

I don't think I wrote it right, but I was agreeing with you. I was just bitching about how many people were like, 'You're pregnant? Say goodbye to sleep for the next 18 years!' 'Maybe you'll be lucky and won't have your body totally destroyed like I did.' 'Did you actually mean to get pregnant? Well... Good luck with that.' 'Yeah I thought I wanted kids, too. Then I had them.' Or to J 'Say goodbye to sleep/sex/your marriage/your wife's body.' All comments I heard.

The best comment though was when someone said, 'Congratulations. It will be the most exhausting, most frustrating, most amazing, most rewarding experience of your life.' Because so far, that's 100% accurate.

Do a combined party! They probably both appreciate mushy food!! (I kid!)

H turns one at the end of January. My father in law turns 80 in the middle of February.

I hadn't planned on doing much of a party for H... his favorite dinner and cake for us and his grandfather (FIL), probably. But someone mentioned the idea of a combined party.

My father in law isn't a real birthday person, but he likes a good party and would appreciate seeing some (local) family, I think. I figure we could go to a local restaurant with a back room or something. Or do it here, and I could cry while cleaning for weeks ahead of time.

Is a 1st + 80th combined party too weird? As much as I think a over the top first birthday party is unnecessary, I feel sort of bad for not doing something, and 80 also seems like a milestone to be celebrated. And my father in law is pretty in love with H.

OR, I post this to be humorous

A combined party would be fun!

I effing hate it when strangers comment on my kid "needing" a jacket. He doesn't need a puffy jacket. He's dressed warmly and appropriately for his carseat. We're going grocery shopping, not on a polar expedition. Get a hobby, people!

Omg last year I had a random woman say to my kid (who was wearing a fleece jacket inside the grocery store -- I'd taken her car seat poncho off and folded it into my diaper bag), 'Oh aren't you so cute! Tell Mommy you need a new winter coat, it's cold out there!' I wanted to be like, 'Baby, tell the crazy stranger lady that you already have a winter coat. And while you're at it, ask her if she has ever heard of a little thing called manners.'

Instead I just completely ignored her while my kid shot her the nastiest. 'Why are you talking to me' face ever. Hilarious.

There are no seinfeld fans here. Except Stoney. You all let me down

You guys, I got L a nice faux fur jacket for the car seat and I keep a heavy coat in the car. So far she blatantly refuses to put the coat on. I'm dreading the really bad winter days. If anyone says anything it would probably make me feel horrible.

Oh yeah. Don't even get me started on the fact that my kid will not wear a hat or mittens for longer than it takes him to remove them. Which apparently makes me a neglectful mother.

My dad got M a fucking cuckoo clock. For serious. And then he tried to hang it on my wall permanently. I might smash it within the first 24 hours.

My parents got E one for her bday! Sadly we had to out it away while the house is on the market.

Funny stringy, your voice sounds fine here...

My kid is the only one in his class at daycare today. I feel kind of bad.

Honest Company shipped me two bundles today without notifying me and I've called 3 times to cancel these bundles.

I'm starting to hate this. And their office is closed today so I'll need to stew on this for 2 days.

Have you emailed? I emailed and got a response right away

Sent. Still unhappy they shipped me something when I don't have any current bundles in my account.

This might be a ploy for them to record sales before the end of the year.
