Monday moans!

[doglover31]

H has been apologizing all morning for how he acted yesterday. He keeps asking what he can do to make it up to me. Um nothing dude. Unless you have a time machine and can take back what all you said.

He wants us to go out to dinner tonight.

I so wish I had today off like a lot of people. But no my place of employment doesn't consider today a holiday. Ugh.

Yes freezing here too but warming up tomorrow but supposed to pour, frigin mother nature!

@giamia923, we are having tantrums too! She also is all of a sudden obsessed with feeding herself too which clearly she needs to do someday but hate the mess also with yogurt and oatmeal since she stuffs it all in her face with no utensils.

I'm off today for president's day so thats good because this week looks like a shitshow at work.

Sorry doglover31, at least he is acting remorseful and trying to apologize. I hope you guys can talk it out but I don't blame you, its so hurtful and hard to get over when someone just unloads on you like that

@giamia923 and jt2378, tantrums, picky eating, and insisting on feeding himself with utensils here too. C has always fed himself with his hands, but now it has to be a spoon or a fork. So much mess. And he really really wants to sit in a normal chair at the table, so a lot of times he ends up sitting on my lap to finish his meal.

DH is off today and still sleeping. C got up too early and was a whiny mess, so I put him in his crib for a bit. I accidentally left my hazelnut creamer in the fridge at work Saturday, so coffee just isn't as magical today

[doglover31]

+1 to all the tantrums. Over everything. But especially when he wants to feed himself. He wants to be so independent. But I do not have time for that sometimes.

[jt2378]

@adulruna , ugh sorry work is such a pita, hope it flies for you!

@giamia923, sounds like fun, I'm sure G will have a blast! Great they offer the morning show time too

melw629, sorry for the cranky morning with C

sounds like all the kiddos are really becoming toddlers, hello meltdown city here we come

I went to the box office yesterday after work and got tickets for Sesame Street Live for $16 each! Pretty decent seats too! I was able to get a discounted price through my Union benefits! I'm so excited to take G. Luckily they have a show at 10:30 am. DNW an evening time. Good luck FIL bringing her to Daniel Tiger at 7:00pm!

Sesame Street live sounds awesome! Hope she enjoys it!

We have tantrums here to. Like full-on,throwing-herself-on-the-floor-and-screaming. I'm actually nervous she is going to hurt herself when she does it!

Got to work a little late and haven't decided yet whether I'm going to say "fuck it" and rush to get to the gym at regular time (which means skimping on todays hours), or going to the late class and letting DH get irritated with me. Right now, I'm a little NO1CURR over him. We had a stressy off weekend.

Skipping the gym is not an option since I weighed in for DietBet this morning. I have all of the sads over here.

Ordered a FitBit (should be delivered to work today!), and will be tracking food. So, that'll be... miserable.

L slept... not so great last night.

Onto the good stuff: Showing today. We basically live with out fingers crossed these days. Oh, and yesterday when I was melting down into a puddle of stress, DH was super-nice, and all kinds of "I'm really overwhelmed right now too, but it doesn't seem to be affecting me as much as it's affecting you. Is there anything I can do to lessen the stress and anxiety you're feeling?"

[jt2378]

judyblume14, wow lots going on, sorry, hope you feel better about things and FX for the showing today. Your DH sounds really great though and a total sweetheart.

[judyblume14]

it's still snowing here, too. boooooo

[judyblume14]

Hmm. Day 1 of tracking my food on my fitness pal.

It's 1:27 pm and I'm already 216 calories over (editing to add...FOR THE DAY).

You know those big reese's cookies I've been treating myself to lately? The one I posted a pic of last week (with a pen for scale?)? Turns out, they have about 500 calories in them (not surprisingly...)

Omg counting calories sucks when you realize how much you have been eating. I need to get back on counting them. But for right now I will enjoy the turtle cookie I just bought.

[jt2378]

I just spent 78 minutes (yes I checked my phone) with Macy's customer service about my 20% discount they promised us on the new recliner we just bought. They must have transferred me to 8 different people and now I'm supposed to rest assured its been done but no reference number! RAGE, I legit turned psycho on the phone by the end. I wouldn't be total flipping out if it was chump change, its $100.00

I've never done this before. Hold me.


I mean, I have done this before... but that was when I was 24, with  a fast metabolism  and a tiny waist.

I've never done this before when I was actually attempting to slim down...

[jt2378]

anniebn, I'm so jealous, the park, grilling and 80's?! I haven't left the house since Friday, I'm officially going stir crazy. It was so cold this weekend!

[melw629]

Well, parent of the year over here...this afternoon I looked in C's mouth and his gums were literally bleeding from his molars cutting through. They started coming in two months ago...this kid is the slowest teether in the world! I feel awful, after complaining all day about his whining and tantrums, never thinking there might be a reason for his bad mood. Tylenol to the rescue!

[jt2378]

melw629, sorry, don't be so hard on yourself, I swear H is the slowest teether too it seems. Hope the tylenol helps him!

[judyblume14]

melw629 - that poor kid! Freeze some wet washcloths and let him chew on them!

anniebn - jealous of your weather! I wanted so badly to go to the gym, but I got really nervous about driving in bad weather. My boss actually sent me home early. I got 3 loads of laundry done. And I shoveled all of the sidewalks around my building. Wife AND neighbor of the year!
