Mine: There is such a thing as "way too fucking cold". Today in my city is a perfect example. It is -40 degrees. It is snowing. Wind is steady at 35 km/h and gusting to 50 km/h. My hair froze in the short time it took for me to get from the house to the car (in the garage, not even outside). You can't see the lines on the road, the wind is blowing a constant wave of snow over the road, and there are a ton of SERIOUS GOD DAMN IDIOTS out there who are driving too fast and/or don't have snow tires.
I'm home now and dreading having to go out again this afternoon.
I hate scheduling my life around pumping! I wish pumping had an easy button and that I wasn't so awkward about it. I only feel comfortable pumping around the girls, DH, my mom and sister. That means I end up excusing myself from things to go pump or I don't pump when I need to and deal with painful boobs.
I love my husband. He works 40 hours a week, cooks dinner and then WANTS to take care of the baby because he missed him while at work so he takes all diaper changes while he is at home. The man is wonderful. But, so help me God, if I go in for a 1:30am diaper change ever again to find that the wipes are out AND we only have two diapers left which happen to be in the diaper bag, he will probably get murdered.
Staying with my parents while DH is away has been lovely ... but the SECOND he starts to cry, my Dad insists on making him a bottle. It's bad enough he's eating almost 4oz every 2 hours, he does not need more 30 minutes later. Also, my Mom is convinced every cry must be gas - no other options.
My nerves. At least I'm getting some sleep, even if I am slightly worried about LO the whole time.
Also annoyed by another snow day here. Mostly annoyed that they keep falling on days that we have activities that we pay for DD1 (preschool, dance, swim) so we are losing money b/c these things get canceled and don't get made up.

Are you in or around Ontario?? I know they got hit pretty bad last night!! Hopefully the idiots are all off the roads before you leave this afternoon!!
My Monday bitxh so far!! Thank you to the asshole who decided 7 am is the perfect time to call someone to see if they are happy with there current internet!! I was sleeping so peacefully! Now my daughter is still sleeping and I'm up and grouchy!
Shoutout to DH. I know you think I sit around eating bon bons and our baby is a perfect angel all day every day when I'm home for maternity leave, but that doesn't give you the right to be mentally absent when you come home from work. I feel like a single parent even when you're home. Also, last I checked you have two arms and two legs and you can put your dishes in the dishwasher or help clean the house. Next time you ask me to do your laundry by telling me 'the maid must have quit' you will be doing your own damn laundry, buddy.
OMG this all of this well minus the maid part cuz I would probably throw something at him!!

My mom was over to watch LO yesterday and was certain his fussiness was because he was hungry despite the fact he had just downed 5oz. I do *not* want this kid to only be soothed by a bottle. He is not starved, you can tell by his chub. I'm a mean mommy according to my mother.
Yup this too! I finally told people listen she's my daughter I know she's not hungry she just likes the idea of a bottle in her mouth so to prove A point I made a full bottle and gave it to her she drank maybe to sips and calmed down! Only to be told see she was hungry!! Argh go away!

THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE. I cancelled our internet service a month ago and they're stiill calling at all hours of the morning!
DH is convinced that LO doesn't like him. Umm...maybe if you held him or changed a diaper every once in awhile he would smile at you like he does for me and his big sister. Duh.
Did we marry the same man?? I never thought I would have to explain that H should *talk to* LO and not just hold him in silence (the few times he does hold him). I'm so disappointed in H's involvement, and I have no idea how to talk to him about it without totally losing my shit. I don't want to blow up and the real issue to get lost and not resolved.

Yeppers, I'm in eastern Ontario.
Hopefully they get everything cleaned up soon!! All my cousins are so happy that schools cancelled lol

My sister, BIL, and their two kids spent the weekend at my house so that my DH could help them fix their car. It was a disaster. I spent the entire weekend picking up after her kids and fielding questions from my sister like, "why don't you just give her formula, it would be way easier". And remarks like, "it's too bad she has those stork bites on her face, she would be so cute without them". I could not wait for them to leave. Lucky for me they'll be back next weekend since the car still isn't fixed.
Today was my first day back at work. LO's grandma runs a small daycare out of her house where LO will be for 5 days a week. SO has a sister that has 4 kids also in the daycare. Well I was just informed that Her 2 year old has the flu. I am livid. Like freaking out.
Maybe a stupid question but, did she know the child had the flu when she dropped him/her at daycare today? If so, that's messed up. What is wrong with people?
My sister and her family visited a couple weeks ago and her baby had a cough. She took him to the doctor when they got home and he had RSV. I was worried because I spent time with him and he was in proximity to my LO. Thankfully, LO didn't get sick. So there's hope that even with the flu in the house, your LO won't get it. Hoping for the best.

I was told nobody knew til about 230 this afternoon when the little boy got tested. And there's another problem: the sister with the kids, including the kid with the flu live in the house. The daycare part is a different part of the house and can be closed off to the rest of the house but still. So he can't even go anywhere since he lives there! I'm not sure if I am overreacting but I took the next 2 days off work to keep LO away. Hoping she stays healthy!
Sounds like keeping your LO out of daycare is your only option. That sucks. I would do the same thing. In a more conventional daycare situation (e.g. daycare center), that child would not be allowed so you are not overreacting by keeping your LO away.
UGH I was eating some cake that my MIL made and bit into egg shell. Fuck no. This is why I made my own food. I know it may be weird but that is one food thing that repulses me more than almost anything. I wasn't able to eat anything for the rest of the night.

It's 1:02. LO is sound asleep still but I've been up for over an hour with a freaking crazy plugged duct. It kills and I'm stressed it will tank my supply if I can't get it unclogged soon.

When I made brownies yesterday egg shells feel into the bowl when I cracked the egg. I was paranoid that I was going to miss a piece and end up biting into it when I ate the brownie. I totally understand the repulsion.

I've been dealing with plugged ducts too, apparently I'm suddenly prone to them. The only thing that helps me is a really long hot shower which is not a practical solution. Hope you can get it going again soon!
