MBF 3/30

[soon2bmrsn]

It's Monday. Whatcha whining about?

[soon2bmrsn]

My MIL gave DS2 nighttime cough medicine yesterday afternoon while the boys were at her house. I tried not to make a huge deal about it when we got home, but DH got pissed and said I don't trust anyone... which is true if they give something that says "for night use only" on it to my 3 year old at anytime besides nighttime. She could have at least texted and asked what to do. But that's assumng she even read the bottle.

DS1 also reported when they got home that they watched 4 episodes of Super Why (20-30 minutes each), 1 Paw Patrol (like 20 minutes long), AND all of Frozen. In the 23 hours they were there. That's a lot of goddamn TV. WTF else did they do!?

On a MIL rant today, apparently.

I'm a FTM here but I feel like any meds given to kids should be run through the parents.

What if the kids are allergic or it makes then sick? No one knows your kid like you do

How long does it take to send a text?

Wtf rerun (my boxer) stop waking me up before the baby gets up

Also stop taking your dads place in bed with your ass in my face

I love you

[Leapinglizards]

But you are not human

The hubs is still sick. He's been sick for a week and thinks it "may be more than a cold." Hello. We have 2 kids now, 1 under 1. I don't care what your opinion is on doctors, it's time to see one. Also, because of this, he's staying home from work (as he should), but that left me to get EVERYTHING together this morning (my lunch, DS's breakfast, all of DD's food for the week, both kids up and dressed, though now that I type this I'm remembering he did at least get DS dressed for me, and everything else we have to take for the beginning of the week). And it was raining (we don't have a garage). And I had to move his car out of the driveway so I could leave (30 min late). And then DS took his socks and shoes off in the car which meant I had to put them back on before getting him out in the rain. And once I got to work, opened my email to a note that our receptionist is out this week. When she's out, we all have to cover up there and my first "shift" is 9-11. Can it be Tuesday yet?

soon2bmrsn, ugh all that would make me so frustrated.

It's Monday. Traffic stinks. I have a hellish schedule this week and all I really want to do is cut down on my hours at work.

DH's Grandmas is going to come stay with us this weekend to spend Easter with us. She has only met LO once and it was back in November. I'm excited to see her I'm just not excited about the week long clean fest that will be going on around here. DH is already being a jerk because he is giving me grief about cleaning his bathroom. ( I think it's been way over a month...I can't even imagine what it looks like....)
I also don't know what to do about sleeping arrangements. We have a spare room but it's upstairs. His grandma has a really hard time getting around and usually we would switch and give her our bedroom on the main floor but LO's room is also on the main floor right next to ours. Do I go out and buy a monitor and let his grandma sleep in our room or do I make his grandma walk up the flight of stairs?

It sucks, but I guess letting grandma sleep in your room is the only option here.

We haven't done our taxes yet. Im dreading it. We are sending them to someone in the fire department that does them, but Ive majorly slacked at filling out the paperwork. I know we are going to owe and its hanging over my head.

[jnnfrrose6]

Things are looking up. The hubs booked our room for the trip to CA in June using all rewards points. 3 nights all covered and I'm thisclose to being ok not taking DD.

My DH just found out he might have a training in San Fransisco late in July. Hotel, car rental, flight, food is paid for by his work. He asked me to go with him. All we'd have to do it is pay for my flight. We could bring L or leave him with my mom. We are kind of in the same situation. I'm really leaning towards taking him but I just can't decide!!

We went to H&r block to file. We waited and waited for our return. Finally called and asked about it and they said they would "file" it again and that should fast track it through. Aka they never filed it AT ALL. We have been counting on that money to pay off some bills! Ugh!
We called the corporate offices to complain about it and ask for a refund. We paid $335 for them not to file our taxes. Not okay. She said it was just filed that day and they'd look into it. We still haven't heard back from them. I'm super pissed.

[bullybutt]

I attempted to have #1 sleep in his bed solo last night. It failed miserably and he was awful to sleep with the rest of the night.  He came into my room 2x freaking the fuck out before I just caved. I was finding myself getting ugly annoyed and I just let him stay in bed with me. UGH! I'll try again tonight.

Yea, I think I'll buy a monitor and then leave it up to her when she gets here. LO still wakes up a couple times a night but most of the time she'll but herself back to sleep. So she may wake up Grandma up a couple times if she sleeps in our room....

WOAH!!! I had no idea they charged SO much! Id be pissed too!

I went to my BSC grandma and grandpa's house yesterday to see their new teacup yorkie (that they have no business owning because they can barely take care of themselves). Anyways, they want a crate to keep her in all the time. WHAT???

And I left the room to take my son to the bathroom and I heard them talking shit about me and how I've never been married (OH GOD!)and that I kept messing around and got those two kids and that's what I deserve. Fuck you, I'm out! We bounced immediately.

This one's not really a big deal, but I'm feeling punchy about it anyway. One of my old college "friends" (I say that because she was "cool" and I was "not" so I was always kind of her back up pal/the first one to be excluded if something better came along...) is getting married a couple hours away from us this summer. I've been looking forward to it since she is my friend on some level and I thought it would be fun to catch up with the other college friends who will attend. She's doing a casual dessert reception which she always made fun of when she was single, so that's amusing to me. We sent in our RSVP last week and I got a text a few days later saying "I got your RSVP and I'm so glad you can come. I just wanted to let you know that children are not welcome to this because of the time of the wedding...."

OBVIOUSLY it's her wedding and she can have kids there or not, that's her call. BUT! Shouldn't you mention that on some part of the invitation/RSVP info or the wedding website? Not after someone makes plans, books a hotel, and sends the RSVP? She said she also JUST told her bridesmaid that info who has a baby she's still breastfeeding and is flying with the baby from across the country without her husband to be there. That just seems tacky and un-thoughtful to me.

Luckily my sister can watch Junie here that weekend, but we'd probably have to just skip the wedding if she wasn't available. (I've never left her overnight before, so I'm a little nervous as it is.) This friend also sent me an afterthought invite to her bridal shower a couple of days before the event, which was scheduled on Valentines day (who does that??) so planning ahead to make things easier for others is obv not a strong suit. That just bugs me.

That's so crappy. I'm glad you left! But now I feel sad about that dog...

I would have said some choice words up on exiting! Sorry you had to deal with that, how ridiculous!

My MBF is just about my thumb/wrist and exhaustion. I want coffee, but the pot is dirty and I don't want to clean it. I think DH needs to pick me up something when he takes lunch. I see my doctor tomorrow about my hand, the wrap is helping some at least.

I told my parents about it and my mom is making my dad do damage control.  She says really awful things all the time to everyone.  She doesn't give a fuck about ANYONE or their feelings.  She talks about my sisters weight at every encounter.  They are both on the downhill slide...we are all just waiting patiently and keeping our distance.

That dog will end up being my aunt's before too long.  They are fucking stupid for getting it.  It will continue to piss and shit all over the place because they won't work with it. 

[bullybutt]

Liv, I would say fuck that friend. She seems like an inconsiderate twat.

[soon2bmrsn]

I think an apprppate theme for today is "why do so many people suck!?"

bullybutt and Liv That's all ridiculous!!!!

Nope just in a fucked up relationship for 6 years.  I wonder how many F bombs I can drop today?
