So I totally had my first episode (and hopefully last) of mommy brain gone bad. I was grocery shopping with toddler and baby. Both were losing their minds so I checked out and headed to the car. As I was unloading, I realized I had chicken thighs in the bottom of the cart that I had forgotten... With both kids screaming there was no way I was unloading both to go back inside. Guess I'll be offering next trip.

And this week has been particularly hellish. My gpa is having heart failure and has been touch and go all week. On Wednesday picking toddler up from daycare, one of the attendants mentioned toddler's birthday being the next day. I looked at her totally shocked then realized she was right and broke into tears right there... WTF I forgot my firstborn's birthday!

Raising my glass to all the other tired mamas out there.

I had a woman at WalMart point out my pants were inside out *face palm* I figure if they see the squishy little baby with me, they'll understand!

smushi · April 2016

At least she did it kindly? lol I'm laughing so hard!

emjeve · April 2016

@smushi sorry to hear about your gpa. Sending T and P your way. As for forgetting your child's bday, I keep forgetting LO's name! Like seriously, I'll be looking right at her and cannot think of her name! Ugh, mommy brain!

I hate having to put the car seat in the cart because I feel like something will fall in the diaper bag or car seat and I'll accidentally steal it.

We're staying with my parents right now while we wait on closing. They left town for a few days for work and I'm taking care of LO and 4 dogs in a house with no grass so they have to be walked to a park a block over every few hours. It's rained the whole time they've been gone and I got to scrub literal shit off one who's rolled ALL in it off him outside in the cold rain today.

So that's how I found out that they don't sell wine in grocery stores in Mississippi.

Baby's been sleeping seven hour stretches at night since he was a couple weeks old. Don't know what I did to deserve this, but thanks universe!

My husband is a farmer and this week has started getting things ready for farming. He also works in excavation. So he's working from 630am until 630pm at that then comes home and starts working on farming stuff. I'm a sahm with a 20 month old and now 3 week old. I'm going insane with being home. Plus he gets home and is exhausted and doesn't really talk. I have no friends in my area so I feel really alone. I don't say anything because I'm beyond lucky to be a sahm and he works very hard.

But then he starts talking about taking a week to go moose hunting this fall. Must be nice to just get a week alone.... Clearly I'm annoyed

Major complaint. My daughter's dad has had nothing to do with her or us since I became pregnant (she's 2 months old now). He's told me he hoped I died and hoped I had a miscarriage. I contacted him after I had her just to see if he was still planning on signing off to which he said yes. He told me that if I ever came after him for child support he'd come after his rights. Well, in my state, and bc I get medicaid for her I am required to pursue support from him. I am beyond livid. What kind of monster only wants a part of their child's life only if they have to pay support?! I luckily have all his nastiness saved on my phone bc we mostly texted. I can't even fathom having to send her to him when I feel like her life is in serious danger. Makes me sick to even think about. He'd of course have to take me to court first bc I'm not voluntarily handing her over. I'm just hoping and praying he won't attempt to get visitation.

Poppy0419 · April 2016

@cataleya82 That seriously sucks but child support doesn't equal visitation, so even if he does try to attempt to get visitation, it's not guaranteed he'd get any rights at all. It wouldn't hurt to touch base with a lawyer sooner rather than later just so you can know what to expect if he were to even attempt. It's ridiculous that Medicaid would force you into that situation.

clairemwalker · April 2016

@Poppy0419 i feel your pain! The region i live in doesnt sell wine in supermarkets either, and my dog rolled all through horse shit yesterday!

smushi · April 2016

@poppy0419 I've only recently come into a world where wine is available at grocery stores. It makes life wonderful for sure!

I have two- I'm so tired of being in pain and taking meds. Yes it's getting better but I've had pain from tearing since DS was born 6 weeks ago today. When I get sore I walk with a bit of a limp. I feel very self conscious but going to the doctor for my 6 week check up Thursday and hopefully I can get all my questions answered.

Even worse, the company my husband works for went bankrupt. Everyone lost their jobs without notice. Luckily opportunities are presenting themselves to him. It could have been devastating for our family.

Poppy0419 · April 2016

@GraciesMom189 I'm so sorry about your DH's job but that's awesome that he's already got opportunities! FX they turn into something even better for your family.

There should really be free wine delivery for moms. If anyone wants to run for president on that platform, you have my vote.

eivaska · April 2016

I'm really frustrated the DH is always trying to pass off diaper changes. He is really good at helping with everything else, but as soon as she needs a fresh diaper he is trying to pass her off.

GraciesMom189 · April 2016

DH was better about changing out daughter than he is our sun. He's been sprayed a few times @eivaska
