I'm trying to buy a lawnmower from a guy who is turning out to be a little weird. First, I inquired and he said "don't waste my time if you're not serious." Um.. ok, I am serious or else I wouldn't be inquiring. Then I said I'd like to pick it up over the weekend, and he said he was only available tonight, so I said alright, sorry it didn't work out. Well, then he said he'd drop it off at 3:00. Ok cool. 3:00 comes and goes, and I check my messages and see that he said he'd come at 5 or 6. I was like, ok buddy, I'm only free until 5. So then he said "I might not make it because I don't drive. I don't understand why your husband won't just let you come get it." What?! My husband is busy, and I'm pregnant and watching my 1 year old. I'm just not free to pick it up, and now I'm getting weird vibes and wouldn't drive to his house anyways.

@BitterBetty12, I'm amazed that she sat through a movie! It sounds like they all had a great time.

@kns1988 Just run away as fast as you can. That's the same kind of guy who would ask you out, you'd turn him down cus you're married, and he'd start cursing at you and calling you derogatory names.
I think you could find a nice lawn mower seller. lol

Omg things escalated with lawnmower guy really quickly. He couldn't find the campground so he started threatening me! Like all caps, LOAD YOUR KID IN THE DAMN CAR AND COME MEET ME AT THE ROAD. My husband finally called him and said we weren't going to deal with him because he was being aggressive, and then he started threatening my husband. We called the police.

I found out today my bff is pregnant and our babies will be 3 months apart!!!!! Our first babies are also 3 months apart, I'm so freaking excited!!!!!!!

jgil85 · August 2018

@kns1988 OMG what a crazy person! I'd rather pay more than deal with him.

luckymay2x · August 2018

@kns1988 holy cow! Did anything happen after you called the police? Does he have your address? I'd be nervous if that kind of crazy knew where I lived

luckymay2x · August 2018

Hi all, didn't check in much this week. It's been pretty crazy, lots of drama at work, very stressful, I want a new job but openings are rare and I'm pregnant, etc

Tomorrow DH, DD and I are going to Kings Dominion (amusement and water park). I'm excited about it, even tho I can't go on most the rides. I will ride the crap out of the lazy river, I guess, lol. We got lucky because it won't be blazing hot, amazingly.

He knows where the camp is, which is where we'll be for the next 2 weeks. I am a little worried about it. The police just took the report, but they're not going to do anything unless it escalates.

@tosh24

Look into the litter robot. The thing is seriously amazing. They are so expensive ($450) but ive had mine for 6 years and its so worth it.

Last night I could feel the baby giving me some pretty good boots on my lower left side... Put my hand there, and I could feel it from the outside! I could even see the tiniest bomp the next time baby kicked. So weird. Of course, by the time hubby got home baby had quieted down, so he didn't get to experience anything.

alexandraseattle · August 2018

@cait32 thanks for posting that follow up! I was shocked to learn after some research that in Washington it’s illegal to leave your kid in the car with the engine running. My parents definitely left me in the car with a book and I was SO happy I didn’t have to run a quick errand inside a store with them. When I told DH he was like so...can we crack a window and turn the car off instead? (Obviously only in cool weather - which is most of the year here.)

ladystout08 · August 2018

My BFF came over this morning and helped me hang new curtains (and the rod) in DS’s room. We carried the rest of the stuff out of the former office/soon to be nursery. She folded this giant dumb green screen that my husband has that I couldn’t figure out and later she’s coming back with her husband who will move an air conditioner and a desk for me before we go to a concert. I love them. Since they’ve left I’ve sold my old dining table and cleaned out my closet of stuff to donate. I’m so tired but I have one more goal of going to the store.

merostomata · August 2018

@kns1988 wow, what a complete psycho! I'm so glad you called it off and the police are involved. That will feel good when you get back home and are positive he doesn't know where you are. (I wouldn't be too worried he'd follow you or anything, seems like he just has major anger issues, but still it will be good to feel 100% safe).

My dumb fat cat jumped onto the window sill above where I was sitting and FELL, claws out on my BELLY and scratched me on my belly and boobs, which bled. I was sooo pissed and chased her off. Ugh. I know the baby is fine but yeesh, what a dummy. It was like she fell sideways onto me. It's hard to stay mad though...she's pretty cute.

@VallieS86 @UnbreakableKimmySchmidt We're in a northern suburb of the twin cities, maybe 20 miles north of Mpls

ladystout08 · August 2018

After all the stuff I did yesterday then a concert last night, I’ll be lucky to get off my couch today.

kns1988 · August 2018

Kids are so weird and gross. DS discovered that if he puts his finger down his throat, he gags. He thought it was funny. I tried to stop him, and as soon as I said "You're going to make yourself puke," it was too late. So gross. He's not doing it now at least.

kaf1788 · August 2018

I'm going to Beyonce tonight and was really embarassingly reverting to my highschool self and getting super frustrated because I didn't like the way I looked in any outfit I put on. Then, when digging through the box of my sister's maternity hand me downs, I found her maternity spanx. Holy cow where have these been all my life! My bump actually looks like a bump and not flab! Mama's got her groove back!

DD has the stomach flu... AGAIN. She just had it less than a month ago.. what did I do to deserve this?

jgil85 · August 2018

Our washing machine started gushing water out the bottom and back yesterday so guess what dh and I get to spend money on?! Ugh, at least our new washer is a top loader and nicer than what we had before. I feel like we're just bleeding money right now. Homeownership is a wonderful thing

sfgiantsgamerbabe · August 2018

My 36 G boobs and I have been wearing nursing tanks around the house all weekend because bras are stupid.

jgil85 · August 2018

@Mandamay1414 I hope she feels better soon. The stomach flu is going around like crazy by me.

Our state passed a law this year protecting “free range parenting” or as they called it in our parents’ day, “parenting.”

Just wanted to suggest "The Bleeding Edge" on Netflix if anyone is in need of something to watch. It's a documentary about the medical device industry and includes some discussion about the Essure permanent implantable BC device.

leighbrek · August 2018

@libertymomrn Yes! This is what I was talking about... Not sure if in this thread or another, but it's basic common sense! So glad someone in power somewhere thinks the same.

gorgeousariel · August 2018

@katethemom we watched that the other night! So scary how things get " approved".
