Beer me, beer you...

[Cherhorowitz]

I was going to run to the grocery store when MH got home and actually cook tonight. But he ended up going to the gym so I don't think there will be enough time.

Oh well I tried.

Doing fucking commissions. God I hate commissions.

Diet Cherry Dr Pepper is within my cup

[lilorangekitty]

Had a great day with DD. We even got her snowsuit at Costco.

But now I feel a cold coming on.

[athn64]

I'm making chicken and rice for dinner. Can't wait for DH to get home.

[abvintage]

Currently trying to decide if I want to go with wine or just full on go for the hard stuff tonight. Maybe mix of both. Sangria, possibly?

[Sparkly]

I'm sorry @ctg30 that sounds awful. Every kid is different. You're doing the best you can. Hugs and strength for the rest of the week.

[Sparkly]

I was supposed to leave early and go grocery shopping. Guess what didn't happen. I have a headache again.

[Deleted]

@ctg30, woof. That sounds awful. Have you mentioned it to your pedi at all? Or have his teachers mentioned anything to you? I'm sure it's just a 3yo being a 3yo, but if you're worried, it can't hurt to reach out and ask some questions.

[Sparkly]

I feel on the verge of losing my shit. I need to get it together before I get home.

DS needs a haircut like whoa and I don't know where to take him. I've been avoiding the quick service no appointment places for some reason, but maybe I should give them a shot?

[mischief]

We are cancelling our dish. Im sad but happy for the extra monies in my pocket.

I'll cut it. You just have to ask.

I'm getting my new tits on Nov 22 and I have all the excitement.

Going from a 38G to hopefully more like a 36C, and PERKY. FUCKING PERKY.


I'm so jazzed. I'm pinning all the cute bras.

I hope you PIP! 

(that doesnt sound creepy at all)

What's stressing you out most?

Time. Just not having any time to do things. Errands, chores, have a complete thought.... Not being able to get away whether it's from the store or from home because all of my hours of the day are consumed or I'm stuck there for one reason or another. I could go to lunch with SIL today for example because I was 100ft from my store and could be back in a minute if need be, but I couldn't get out to Target in the last 2 weeks to pick up a prescription that's now back on the shelf and will have to be filled again. Then I get to the weekends and we have all these weddings and shit this month, so either out of town, exhausted, or all of the above.

@bruxannie MH and son go to a real deal barber shop together for haircuts. It's their thing.

that's adorable.

H is having a $70 a month love affair with his stylist so he's probably too preoccupied to bring DS ;-)

[Deleted]

I think I'm going to start saving for massive amounts of plastic surgery. I need butt and thigh and stomach and boob work.

Maybe it can be for my 40th Leo Spectacular.

@scoutnumbers 6 months for no yoga? That seems like a lot. I mean post partum is usually 6 weeks. Did they say why?

Anyway congrats on your new tits!

probably so the reattached nipples don't fall off.

He's an angel at school & always has a good day there. The transition to home seems to be his trigger.

I'm going to ask his teacher if she can start giving him reminders as pickup gets closer. I arrive at the same time each day. I finally got it out of him that he didn't want to go home - they were in circle reading a book.

DS would get so upset about feeling like he was leaving before everyone else and missing out that they ended up telling us to just pick him up later and they wouldn't charge the aftercare rates. DH didn't take advantage of that every day, but sometimes it was really nice. Especially if they were in the middle of a story, etc. Depended on whether DH had somewhere he needed to be.

[Deleted]

I started my plastic surgery fund right after DD was born. I want a lot. Will settle for boobs because that's probably all that's realistic. Well, and Botox. But I'm already doing that.

[athn64]

I want a reduction. Still BF so it will be a while. DH is against it.

@bruxannie

I take my kid to a kid's place. Not a chain one. Just a small salon with one woman who only cuts kids hair. I have taken my kid to chain kids places, walk-in places, fancy salons and MH's place. It took a while to find someone who cut his hair how I liked it. I think you could find that at a walk-in place. It's more about finding a good stylist than the place.

@bruxannie, MH flies to D.C. to get his haircut by "the only person on the planet who can do it right". He plans to take DS with him if DS ends up with his hair. I think that is officially #doingthemost.

That seems ... extreme how often does he go? Is it built in to other trips or solely a hair cut?

[Deleted]

My mother is offering a graduation gift of some cash to start an investment account with so that I can "play with" the stock market. Because I'm a finance major so, naturally, that's the appropriate gift in her mind..."it'll give me some experience". Not some outrageous amount or anything, but ...yeah.

I feel like a jerk but I'd kind of rather have cash to get my extra chin removed.

Ah well.

[Deleted]

Drinking a spiked seltzer. PTing has me ready to rip my hair out. My kid gives zero fucks about it and melted down yesterday for 10 minutes straight, crying for a diaper. So done with it.

[Cherhorowitz]

When I'm done with kids, I'm getting new tits, thinner thighs, a flatter stomach and less love handles. Not a wish list. I'm doing it.

[Cherhorowitz]

Omg, you guisssse. Some diaper commercial was on where a mom is singing and rocking a newborn. I looked over and my kid was holding his stuffed Mickey Mouse and doing the same thing. I melted.

Then he said, "I'm going to put you down, baby." Put the Mickey Mouse down and jumped off the slide.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry you're struggling Sparkly. That's a ton to have on your plate. You can't be all things to all people. Take care of yourself.

I know it's easier said than done, but start saying no (to weddings, extra, unnecessary things, ect..), ask for help, outsource what you can, and tell people what you need from them. You're not (nor do you need to be) superwoman.

Honey, that's too much. You need a break. 

Can you decline weddings? We've had to start doing that, even for people we really adore. Because there's limited time, money, time, energy, TIME. You're stretched thin, and something has to give. 
SaveSave

For these weddings, no. If it were anyone else I would definitely turn shit down at this point. It's just crappy timing that everything is NOW. I had planned to take more personal time off or at least working from home this summer and this month in particular with my SIL's wedding (Sept 30) and I haven't been able to for reasons. Also it's been really busy, which is not bad, but I never get anything done at work that takes more than 5-10 min of concentration because of the constant interruptions.

i found someone who does a good job but she's on vacation for the next two weeks. I don't think we should wait that long. This is just a stopgap.

But he could end up like little tLex ::troll::

Putting mickey down before jumping shows excellent judgment. He's going to be an awesome big brother

I can pretty much let him babysit on the spot.
