I woke up an hour before I needed to today. I forgot that my early bird day care kiddo was coming late today. In my hurry to get ready, I set my full coffee cup down on the edge of the table. It was so loud when it hit the floor. Of course DD heard it. Fml.
I told my sister that I am pregnant, but didn't tell DH that I told her bc he would flip out that I told someone before he got to do his announcement surprise which is basically DS1 wearing some sort of "I'm a big brother" onesie and then be paraded around for the family. That's cute and everything.... But more effort than I feel is necessary. I think a simple phone call saying we did it again is sufficient.

I've realized I'm bored with our sex life. Love my husband to pieces, but he isn't adventurous in the bedroom and after being together for almost 10 years, I need to figure out how to spice things up without totally putting DH off.
My dogs got in a fight over food last night and Simon bit Lola's ear. It was on the verge of needed to be sutured. It stopped bleeding and I decided not to call my uncle (he's a vet). I did contemplate suturing myself, but I thought I'd be too nervous.
honeybee434 I hear ya. It's hard to try and spice things up without crushing their manhood if you say your bored. I say go out for drinks and then see where things go ( with the goal of being adventurous). Eta: forgot your preg. Maybe get him drunk?
H is usually up for anything I suggest, as long as he gets some....As long as you don't lead with anything like "I need more" and just make it happen, I think it's all good (especially if you get some drinks in him!)

Is it bad that I just want to buy a bunch of toys and put them in a bag on his side of the bed for him to find when I'm not home and see what he does with it?
Whatever, I'm totally going to tag your for all sex questions.
I actually think with DH it would be better to go over the top and then let him come down to where he wants to be. If I approach it in a small way I think he'll get his feelings hurt. But if I go over the top he will think it's funny and then pick and choose some new stuff to try.
FFFC I think my cousins kid is a brat. I love my cousin, and I think she's a good parent, but her daughter seems to be undisciplined. She freaked out when I told her, no, you can't kick the baby in the head (cousins other LO, who is 5 months old). I hope it's because I see them when they are away from home and out of routine, so they let her behavior slide more.
Other tiny FFFC, I told LO that "They don't let crying girls go on the slide" on our way to the playground the other night. It wasn't completely a lie, at least. I wouldn't have let her go on the slide if she was crying, but I felt bad blaming it on the mysterious "they"
The tv was on way too much this am. DS isn't zoning out watching it, it's just been on in the background. It makes my mom guilt so bad but with how often I'm having to nurse DD right now we've had to have it on more.

I've been home on a sick day with DS1 because he has a fever. I was off to a good start this morning (dishes, putting away clutter, making appointment calls, baking banana bread, etc.) I just sat down to grade some papers while he rests, but I think I'm going to take a nap instead. We will pick up the younger two in ~90 minutes and then the weekend begins.

The vibrating cock ring that Trojan sells (by the condoms) is a big hit in our house. Sorry if that is TMI... I have no censors. It's cheap, easy to use and feels good for both of you.

Our neighbors that are close to us let their dogs bark all the time. Sooooo before ds2 was born I bought a fake bird house that emits a noise that only dogs can hear to stop them from barking for hours on end. Sorry not sorry. Best $50 I have spent.

That is fucking awesome and brilliant!!
Thanks man. I don't play when it comes to sleeping babes.

I'll have to look into that. Our next door neighbor's dogs (3 or 4 small yappy ones) are outside all the time and bark constantly. It's kind of having a a bad effect on our dog. She is always so stressed when we take her outside and she has 4 dogs yapping at her from over the fence. She never barks thankfully- but there are certain days I wish we didn't have a dog. She always wants to sit in my lap the SECOND. I sit on the floor. Leads to a lot of close calls with kids getting bumped or smacked with a wagging tail.

I regularly tell Elias "We can't do X, that's the rule. I didn't make that rule, so we have to stick to it!" Maybe not the best thing to say, but sometimes I just say stuff to entertain myself and not scream.
FFFC: I snagged 2 of the new toddler washcloths that DH bought for E to use for myself, because they're perfect for when I shower. They're not as thick or as big as regular washcloths and I like that. But it's okay, E has like 20 other ones.
I bought the bird house thing last week, but it's for our dogs. Rose likes to woof (not a true, super annoying bark, but still annoying enough) when she thinks it's time that we should wake up. So I turn it on at night and point it where she usually is. When I remember to turn it on at night, she doesn't do it in the morning!
Just be aware that it doesn't always work. Some dogs can get so distracted they can ignore it or get used to it. I turned it on last weekend when Rose was being annoying and barking at the door for no reason and she was too intent and ignored it. Also, dogs with hearing loss aren't effected. My old dog proves that time and time again.
The tv was on way too much this am. DS isn't zoning out watching it, it's just been on in the background. It makes my mom guilt so bad but with how often I'm having to nurse DD right now we've had to have it on more.
That's the only way I could get through the first few weeks. It's ok, he will be fine! A little tv won't hurt.

isolemnlyswear have you tried a bark collar? One of our dogs wears a collar that sprays a citronella mist when he barks. He stops mid bark the first time he barks. It's by petsafe and I got it on Amazon. Our vet recommended it.
I have yet another FFFC: I'm really happy my friend and his gf had a baby boy today, because I didn't like their girls name they had picked out (it was Sp.arrow)
