I'm totally skipping out on the professional development this morning and staying home to pack. I'm not calling in and they will never know that I wasn't there. I need kid free time to pack.
I lie to my kid all of the time. I know I shouldn't but sometimes I just don't want to fight. Mom can I play iPad? No it's broken. We are out of ice cream (I plan on eating it all later), etc.
Also I totally had some leftover toilet paper that got stuck, which seems to happen more after William was born, and I found it right after we had sex, luckily he didn't. I guess I'll have to check better next time.
tribute17, I tell my kids similar things. I frequently tell them my kindle is charging so they won't be able to play it. Also guilty of the ice cream thing.
I'm actually on a computer, so I can tell my story! I've been saving this FC for awhile because I didn't want to type it out on my phone.
On Wednesday nights MH works from 7-9, so MIL comes over to help with the kids. A few weeks ago Maggie was having an epic sleep fighting meltdown (those are her favorite kind), so I needed to pull out all the stops to get her to go to sleep. I had her swaddled, with white noise, a pacifier, and was walking her in the dark down in the basement. No dice. So then I try all those things but also nurse her as I'm walking. She finally, finally falls asleep. As soon as I sit down on the couch my tummy gives this awful rumble and I realize I need to go the bathroom...right then. But Maggie is asleep! And my boob is still in her mouth! So I shuffle into our tiny basement bathroom, which is covered in kitty litter because that's H's job and he's a lazy vaccuumer, managed to get my pants down one handed, and sit down.
The first thing that happens is I fart so loud it wakes her up.
So now Maggie's crying again, my boob is out, and I'm having a rough time in the bathroom. I'm trying to shush her/nurse her when all the sudden the lights come on in the basement. Robin (who was upstairs playing with MIL) comes downstairs and wants me to fix something for him. I'm trying to explain to him over Maggie's crying that he has to wait until I come out of the bathroom and I close the door.
I then have to attempt to wipe holding a screaming, wiggling baby in one hand because the floor is covered with kitty litter bits and obviously I'm not putting her down on kitty litter. I get poop on my hand. Robin opens the door to the bathroom again. Then I hear MIL coming down the stairs to the basement!
I somehow manage to wash my hand and get my pants up before MIL comes down and sees what's going on. But I definitely needed a drink after that.
Bahahaha sarasansh!! You are super woman for pulling that off w/o your MIL busting you!
I worked out for the first time in forever this morning. I about died, pretty sure I messed up my back and almost puked. Way to go Cody you are disgustingly out of shape! Plus my mom did the class with me and was barely sweating. Ugh.
On the plus side I was up at 4:45am did my workout. All without that magical spark juice.. Ok maybe that's more of a siwtbu
my FC: I sometimes find myself saying thinks to Henry that as I am saying them in my head I am like why are you saying that, it doesn't line up with how you want to parent. I have been getting so so so frustrated with him lately. I really need to figure out a way to discipline him that 1. works, and 2. I can live with.

My H and I didn't sleep in the same room for a good 3 months straight after his back incident. Which obviously means no ST. We are finally back in the same room over the past week so things are getting better, but man it's been a lot of work getting here.
I gave my kid a decent dose of benadryl in hopes that I would get a nap today. I have to work 5p-2am and the kid NEVER naps for me outside the car anymore.

I barbarically screamed out in frustration at my kids the other day while trying to bake and made them both cry! I then put them both in their rooms for a minute to recoup. I was still shaky from it like an hour later! I felt like a crazy ass woman.

And then when they are older they'll make fun of you for it. "Mom remember when you want crazy" hahaha

Oh I totally did this a few weeks ago with Joey when she would.not.listen. Nothing I said seemed to even enter her ears, I finally yelled and eventually almost growled at her.
It was not my finest moment, and I'm certainly not proud of it. But alone with both girls; baby crying, and her disobeying every word out of my mouth and being a brat, I was so done.
ETA: pretty sure, if i remember correctly, it was the night I announced she was for sale on Facebook to anyone who made an offer, haha!
Like others, I totally screamed at Eli in the car a couple weeks ago. Scared them both and made Ingrid cry. He was mad that she had sunglasses and he didn't and would just not.stop.crying. It was after a long day of work and I was stuck in the car for my 40 minute drive listening to him scream nonstop over sunglasses and lost it. I apologized after I collected myself.

I totally lost my mind a few weeks ago. I wasn't just screaming, I wasn't making any sense. I was just repeating "No, no, no" constantly, really loudly. Tumaini was terrified. It took some cold water and some time hiding in the washroom to find my sanity again. I apologized afterwards, but I still feel terrible.
TC: Yesterday I went to BJ's and picked up a box of the Mott's Organic Apple Sauce Cups. It was one of those deals where you got $1 instantly, plus they had an additional $1.50 coupon in their book. Well, after getting home, I looked at the receipt and saw the box of apple sauce only rang up for $1.99 (it was supposed to be $11.99). So after the instant savings plus the coupon, they actually paid me $0.50. Instead of informing them of the mistake, I plan on going back today after work to get another box and hope they haven't fixed it...
