Sunday Ran(t)doms!

Didn't see one so here we go.

4:30am and my husband received a call regarding a sexual assault. He is apart of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office on base so he went to the hospital to handle and assist with the situation. 5am rolls around and my kids wake up. My youngest crawls into my bed a reaks of pee. Awesome. Go to his bed and pretty sure there was a lake of pee in it. Deal with that. Come downstairs to find my oldest who is 6 gluing paper to his body.  It is now 8am, both kids have been bathed, did two loads of laundry, cleaned a bed and the carpet while I was at it and had breakfast.

Why is it always hectic when something like this occurs?!?

Oh and we are out of coffee. I may not make it.

Re: Sunday Ran(t)doms!

  • That is a rough start to the morning!!!! There's a new documentary on Netflix about sexual assault in the military, most of the cases were Marine. It was pretty interesting to watch and so coincidental I just saw it and then read your post. Maybe take a nap in a bit if there's no coffee lol.

  • Spent time with family, Went grocery shopping, cleaned car and installed car seat and put our hospital bags in the car and just relaxing :) I feel accomplished haha except the fact that my husband did mainly everything and I just sat on down and soaked up the sun haha :D
  • Is super bored. Dh is out of town till next weekend. All I've got are my dog and cats to keep me company. Also can't sleep cause my pubic bone and hip hurt so damn bad. so that's fun.
  • I was walking at a face pace to catch a train and I think I just felt baby's head drop lower. Idk of that's possible? But it def felt like that.
  • Driving into church this morning and went over a bump, knocked part of my exhaust system loose. DH was awesome and let me use his car (he volunteers before church, I volunteer during the 2nd service). He took care of calling around and finding a shop that was open and dripping it off, now waiting to pick it up so we can go to a picnic tonight. $900 I wasn't planning on spending right now
  • Had my baby shower yesterday at my moms house, brought everything home and got just about all of it put away. My dad calls, so I talk for a little and he says oh hey I'll put P (his wife, NOT my mom) on the phone so you can thank her for the gift. They did not come to the shower as they decided to go down to Florida to their 2nd home, so they weren't around where I live (NJ) for the shower. She gets on and rips me, guilting me for not calling or texting her to say thank you for the gift that she spent 14 hours of her life making. She goes on and on about how she cried herself to sleep and how it was a huge fight between her and my dad because I couldn't take the time to call or text her thank you for the gifts she made. Then she gives me shit for not sharing the baby's name earlier because she wanted to get things personalized and now she can't.

    My shower was a surprise, so I had no hand in planning any part of it including when or where it was and who was invited. I never asked her to make anything. We weren't going to share the baby's name until she was born and then decided at the last minute to share her name at the shower. The thing she made is this giant pink wreath with tiny stuffed animals in it that are wearing tutus that she made out of taffeta or something. She expects us to hang it in the baby's room. It's hideous.

    So then I got all upset and almost cried and almost screamed but held it back so she wouldn't get the satisfaction of making me upset. But now I'm just pissed off and don't want to send her or him a thank you note because of how she spoke to me and that my dad allowed her to talk to me like that.
  • Went to church today and I am considering staying home for every Sunday until I give birth.  My Sunday School children that I teach were keeping a tally on how many people came up to me and said, "You look like you are ready to POP!  When are you due?"  My kids told me that it got up to seven people saying that exact same phrase.  

    And you know what I wish I could say back?  "Yes!  I know that I look like I am ready to pop!  This isn't a new revelation.  I see my damn stomach every time I look in the mirror!  And I am due JULY 15TH!!!!!  I have an eternity to go if you keep on asking me how much longer I have!  Can we talk about something else other than my belly?  Please!  Let's talk about the weather or some other small talk???  PLEASE!?!?!"

    But then I remember that each person asking me has the best intentions so I just answer the question, grin and bear it.  But good grief, it gets annoying to repeat my due date over and over again.  Could just be me.
  • @babydoll1008 nope, the repeat conversations are SOOO ANNOYING.
    I hate "are you excited?"

    No, not at all.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK?
  • I was organizing baby boys room and rammed my foot right into his crib. Needless to say the crib won. I have a broken pinkie toe! Luckily it doesn't hurt that bad....shall be interesting when i have to wear a shoe tomorrow....

    Was at Target buying a bottle warmer (which everyone says is a fantastic thing to have) and a brand new mom told me to get the small dip sized crock pot instead. She said she keeps it on all day, filled with water and pops a bottle in when needed. In the time it takes her to change her little girl, bottle is ready. Awesome!

    @ktabs GENIUS! I already have one of those! Wonder if it's good/safe for breastmilk...?

    I wanted to ask but my husband was standing next to me. I thought his first testimony of the "Target baby aisle mom chatter" should be without making him too uncomfortable (talking to a stranger about her boobs might be a bit much for a first timer!)
    She didn't indicate that she was doing formula so I bet it is! She said the warmer would scald her and the crock pot just worked so much better. She returned her warmers that she had purchased :)

  • You actually don't need to heat up pumped breastmilk, but that's a really neat idea and much better than the microwave.
  • @4evaMine I'm pretty sure you don't need to heat it up directly coming from your breast but if you pump most likely you store it in the freezer which can last for months (good for working moms) then you have to warm it up

    Well my Sunday consisted of cleaning for two -3 hours. Costco shopping with 6 kids and hubby with stares from every angel then went to the local super market with 3 of my kiddies checked out the grapes and it wasn't to my liking so I set them back down. I then felt a state only to see the older man the works in the grocery department looking directly at me with an Angry face. I didn't say a thing I had my children with me and I'm thinking what if he is a crazy person. Like why be so upset I checked out the grapes ? Maybe racist ? Ugh this world full of weirdos
