Or are you? You know I don't know what you do at work all day

Hahaha. It's 45 degrees here, so I am definitely not naked.

H leaves today so I'm bummed.

Last night was a bitch. DD kept waking up PISSED OFF! I don't know if she was hot or what I put her in the middle of the bed and she always ends up just rolling back into me. Stay over there where it's cool baby. Instead she makes me sweat and she runs hot too so we're a couple of sweaty bodies

Do you have any fun plans for the next few days? I'm sorry your H is leaving. Stupid Hs that leave for work. 

She loves you and wants to cuddle!!!


J has started this thing in the MOTN where he kicks his feet out of the feet of his footie pjs and then his toes get caught and he starts screaming bloody murder. So no more cute footie pjs for us.

That's EXACTLY WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE. She always must be touching me.

Can you get pants with feet? 

I have nothing. I have to work Saturday and then DH's cousin is coming to take pictures of DD on Sunday. I have no idea what time. I guess at least I won't be bored??

Does it ever warm up there? I want to visit Chicago and I don't want the weather to suck

Mid-June it will shoot up to 85 degrees and stay that way for 3 months. We don't get spring or fall here.

[meagpt22]

MrsTinMKE good luck this weekend..hopefully there will be enough people there that you can avoid your mothers husband.

HEY WAIT IT'S UO DAY! That means everyone will come play!

I hate that I work every Wednesday night which means I always miss UO because I'm sleeping by the time it gets good.

I could use some advice. DS's main caregiver at daycare is leaving. I don't get to see her a lot because she works 7:30-4:30 and DS is usually there 7:00-5:00. We exchange notes and whenever I am there early/late and get to see her she is super nice. She's one of those people who is always so positive, and not in an annoying way.

I'm sad she's leaving. She's taken care if DS for 4 months and I feel like I should do something. I'm planning on writing her a little thank you note. Should I also give her a little present or would that be weird? I don't know any of her likes/interests, so I'm not sure what I would even get her. A box of chocolates, Starbucks gift card?

I'm really awkward at this social stuff. Help!

[meagpt22]

DD decided she wanted to cuddle at 4:30 am and by cuddle I mean chew on my collar bone. So gross the amount of slime they produce. Haha.

I think both of those things sound really nice. I would just say that you dont know her but DS has gotten to know her the last 4 months and just be honest about how you appreciate her and that you're sad to see her go

jellykat2 day drinking? I'd join you, but I have to go to story time first. Seriously, hugs. That's disappointing. I can relate. I second mrsbabe614 that you can apply and turn it down if it's not for you. The last job I had I was really in the fence about because it meant moving an hour from Denver to the smaller city where my parents live. It ended up being the best thing ever. Are you in the Twin Cities? If so, traffic there BLOWS so I feel you.
apk4 lame! I hate traffic. See above.
saraml13 note and gift card seems perfect!

[kellrr]

Not much to report here. Story time, then picking up the keys to my new office I'm sharing (because working from home sucks, even for a few hours), and then trying to convince my SIL to be my nanny because I'm just not in love with the one I picked. I just want to inherently trust her, and I don't.

I found out yesterday that I didn't get the job I had two interviews for. They gave it to an internal transfer. But they said they were super impressed with me and want me to apply for that persons job. In fact, they've already forwarded my information to that clinic. The problem is that clinic is downtown, and I really really don't want to work downtown. I spent 10 weeks making that drive during clinicals, and I hated everything about it. And H and I want to move ever further from the city. It makes sense they gave the job to the internal transfer, but I'm still super bummed about it. And now I don't know if I should apply to the city job, or just keep looking....

In other news, my baby is still eating like a starving baby in the MOTN and waking often. Also, I'm still mad at DH.

Sorry dude! Hopefully there is something much better in store for you!

Follow your instincts. If you don't like the lady there's probably a reason

I am off work now until Monday! I am currently sipping on banana cream coffee while DD hangs out in her swing. She is actually trying eat the side of the swing but she is still quiet so - win.

The next two days are going to be hard. My uncles funeral is tomorrow and tonight we have a benefit tonight to help pay for his funeral costs. This means I have to see the piece of shit my mother is married to. I haven't seen the guy since he showed up unexpectedly at my wedding almost 3 years ago. This guy abused me as a kid in every way possible, and my mom is still married to him. So its a rather difficult situation. But H is being supper supportive and I have some awesome family that will be there, so that will ease the difficulty a tad.

I am also leaving DD with BIL and SIL for the first time tonight and I am scared! She still cries when she sees BIL at first. Hoping tonight isn't a complete disaster!

So first of all what the fuck is banana cream coffee?
2nd of all I'm so sorry for all of those situations. All the hugs. Fuck that guy. Don't let him intimidate you. He's just a sad piece of shit. Good luck tonight

Thank you! I am not going to let him get to me. I have come to learn that I cannot let him have control.

DD is working up the biggest freaking poop right now I am scared.
Also she ended up with a bad diaper rash the other day like in a matter of hours! I have it pretty under control with baking soda water and aquafor but one spot started bleeding a little today! WTF I feel like the worst mother ever. Can't even use regular wipes on her right now.

kellrr, I agree trust your gut feeling!

saraml13, I don't think a note and small gift is weird. I bet she would really appreciate that. It is a very sweet gesture!

jellykat2 Sorry about the job not panning out and the babe and H giving you a hard time.

Don't feel bad about the diaper rash-DS gets them randomly, and they sometimes bleed, too. It's sad, but I just change him frequently until it clears and hit it with Aquafor.

[sweetsurprise]

I'm here. There's not enough coffee in the world to keep my eyelids open. I decided to try to avoid the MOTN feedings last night and instead try to soothe DS to sleep during his wake ups by rocking etc., per the pedi's advice. After last night I have decided F the pedi.

Also, brushing M's 2 teeth cracks me up.

That's all I got.

He was saying that physiologically babies at this age do not need to eat in the night and they can start associating wake ups with eating so if instead you soothe them they won't associate wake ups with food.

Yeah, I ignored my pedi on this one too. I do try to soothe him with a paci but I always have a bottle ready. I ignore my pedi on a lot of small stuff though.

I'm sorry you didn't get the job. Do you need the money? I say if you know you don't want it then don't take it, but I always say you should go see what it's about.

I certainly need a job within the next couple of months. I have a lot to think about and consider. But you're right that maybe I should see what it would be about first....

I have some other applications in. Maybe I'll hear from one of them and get an offer that will make my decision easier.
