My last day of work is a week from today and I just found out my company does not plan to give me ANY of my yearly bonus. I don't plan to go out of my way to help them transition over the next week because FTS.
Also, I still have not taken DD's 8 month photos. Five days later. I was waiting for a day with good sunlight, and today it arrived, but DD had a series of non-naps this morning and was a cranky teething mess, so still no pics. Oops.

I'm not sending a thank you note to SIL for her Christmas gift to DS because it's the stupid walker that we didn't want and when we asked her where she got it so we could return it, she basically flipped out on DH.

Oooh, you could write a really fun thank you note for that! More fun than dissertating for sure!
It would probably be uncivilized to send, but snark is so satisfying.

5 days is nothing! My kid has been 9 months for 12 days now with no picture taken. It gets worse and worse each month! When he was 3 months I was day late. 4 months I was 5 days late, etc. Pretty sure I'm the only one who cares about these pictures anyway!
I am also jealous of becole's motivation to workout! Get your fitness on, gurl!
I agree too! I think people have unrealistic expectations especially for newborns.
I know my craziness was the cause of some of our sleep issues. Once I let go of my expectations and created a routine that works for us things got a lot better.
Sometimes I turn the water on when my husband is in the shower just to piss him off when it changes temps suddenly ?
I saw someone post the most ridiculous anti-sleep training piece I've ever seen. With comments like I'll never sleep train and I'll hold and cuddle and do whatever baby needs whenever... Good luck with that. Maybe she'll be lucky and baby will just be a good sleeper, but i think her baby is about 3 months, and I'm really hoping the 4 month wakeful kicks her butt.
We didn't sleep train either but not because I am against it in any way, I just wasn't interested. She slept in our bed till about 2 weeks ago and then we transitioned her to the crib. It was a hard couple nights but she started sleeping 12 hours straight and has only had one bad night since.
I think whatever you do is fine until you decide it's not working anymore. I was spending 2 hours nursing her to sleep at night and really hating my husband so we needed to switch it up. He now does bedtime and we are all sleeping better.
Some mom got flamed on my local fb group recently for posting some shit about putting your baby in the crib the first night, sleep is so important, blah blah blah. Your baby is a month old, come back to me when they get teeth and start crawling and let me know how you are doing. Every family is unique and needs to feel free to do their own thing but don't go telling a bunch of sleep deprived mommas you have the magic answer one month in! ?
We are always late on her monthly pictures. I have the stickers to put on belly for each month. Took out the 8 so it was at the ready for a good night to take her picture. Somehow lost it. Guess we'll have to find a good picture taken sometime this month to put in the monthly picture frame we have. Not that it'll matter, we only have 1st and 2nd month pictures displayed.
I still haven't even opened DS' baby book since like.. last April? I guess I should get on that since I already don't remember when he first smiled, laughed or farted..

I stopped taking monthly photos after two months....
If I didn't have the damn stickers to nag at me I probably wouldn't still be. Actually, come to think of it, I never did her 7 month photos because we were out of town for the holidays and I didn't bring the stickers with. oh well.

I get not sleep training or thinking it's right for you. We didn't really formally sleep train but there were nights when she was going to cry no matter what, and I needed to do intervals to stay sane. In this case it was more that the "article" was so ridiculous and combined with her comments it seemed to really condemn sleep training and anyone who does it as cruel and horrible.

Mine was blank until the IPhone update when it started showing the dates for all the photos and videos really easily. I went back through my phone and filled in a lot of the blanks one night haha

Oooh.. good idea. I also need to look back at a ton of gchats with DH.
I may have used this as an fffc before, but I bought dd a sweater at a consignment shop that looks almost exactly like a sweater I own. We've only worn them at the same time once.
Okay, I can support matching colors haykay13 ... If you get to the point of exploring matching shirts, please let us know. It means you need an intervention

I do coordinating colors sometimes when we're going out. Not all the time, but if I'm wearing black, I might put her in a black, pink, & grey outfit vs. something with navy as the base color. I cannot believe I am admitting to this. It's not so much trying to be matchy-matchy as it is that clashing colors really bugs me.
Relatedly, I *might* have changed DD out of a mismatched outfit (i.e., clashing top & bottoms) put on by DH before leaving to go to the pedi's office. DH was like "I'm sorry, do you really have to impress the pedi?"
It's more like the satisfaction I get when a necklace or scarf picks up other colors in my outfit just so. I mean, I coordinate her onesies under her sleepers. Why wouldn't I exercise that minimum level of color coordination when taking her out of the house?
I feel like a bad internet friend when I have days I can't get on here that much and miss so many posts.
I feel two-faced at work sometimes because I secretly really dislike some coworkers and/or think they are horrible teachers but most of my job requires working closely with them so I pretend to like them. I hate acting that way.

Umm, we don't have a baby book for DD?
I just started recording milestones in a blank notebook my mom sent after telling me I would really regret it if I didn't write down some of the things I was telling her on the phone.
