New thread...

My neighbor told me today there are snakes in our area. He heard my son saying snake when we were outside and wanted to let me know. He saw a big one in his yard and its skins. This is interesting because my 3.5 year old autistic child, who is speech delayed, said snake yesterday when I was pulling weeds. When I asked him if he saw one he said, "Yes, it's over there." No snake, but maybe he saw it at one point? 1) Ahhhhhhh SNAKES and 2) Yayyyy, my buddy responded in an actual sentence!

Ugh, the hair loss has started. It's early this time around. The last few showers I've taken there has been a lot of hair coming out while I blow dry

I'm dreading this so much! My hair is very thin to begin with. It started falling out at 4 months last time and got really bad before it stopped.

Man, I've been waiting to commiserate with someone about the amount of hair in my hands, brush, on the floor and in the drain. It's a wonder I'm not bald.

[peachesncream]

+1 to the hair loss. I find stray hairs EVERYWHERE.

[peachesncream]

I am so sick of IUD spotting. I generally risk it and free bleed even though it is heavy sometimes.

[Missy0483]

Yup hair loss has begun here too. For some reason I thought I was going to skip it this time, it seemed like it was starting later but I can't remember. I'm so tired of hair tickling me throughout the day lol.

Good luck to everyone going back to work today! I got decent sleep, but of course his second wakeup was at 5:45 and I didn't need to get up til 6:45. Maybe I can lie down for a little after he falls back to sleep.

K's first day of "school" is today. Its only half days this week just for her and I to get used to the new routine. I need to leave here in 5 minutes and im still pumping. This should be interesting.

Mine started around 4 months with my boys. It's early this time. I thought I had another month before it started!

+1 on the thin hair. I think it started for me at four months last time. It hasn't started yet. I remember being really upset at how much I was losing, but things were really rough last time so I'm hoping it won't be as bad as I'm remembering.

[rachelilly23]

I just heard K poop from a room over. LOL. Waiting a minute to make sure she got it all out. I still hear grunting.

[paloslee]

why do i wake up in a panic at night thinking about if I missed paying a bill?? I've been doing that a lot lately. I'll be dead asleep and all of a sudden I'll jump up in a panic feeling as if I forgot to pay rent, light, gas, phone bill. H said that last time I even hit him (2 weeks ago).

[fignewt]

My next door neighbor just told me her friend has a 9 week old who is sleeping 6pm to 6am. Wtf? Is that even possible?

[blackbird]

fuck fuck fuckity fuck!!!!

Our washing machine has been out of service since LAST Sunday. It's all covered by warranty, but I get a call today from the repair store and they need the exact purchase date for LG to cover it. I've been on multiple calls with Best Buy/Geek Squad trying to get this info. But because it was purchased by my ex bf I'm basically SOL. They need his ph # to access the account, which I no longer have but could probably track down, but they said even if I get that they will likely no be able to release the info to me. So now it looks like we're going to have to pay for the parts.

Oh wait it gets better. The parts are still not in yet. And another kicker? The repair man who came out last week said it's possible that the bearing is out too but he won't be able to tell until he replaces the other parts.

This is a giant cluster fuck. Part of me just wants to buy a new damn washing machine. But the parts are still cheaper than buying a new one.

W has not napped all morning. We have had 2 meltdowns. One of them may have been mine.

Me too, its out of control.  I'm ready to attach vacuum hose to my hair before i shower.

E's torticollis has really improved, we can now scale back on PT to only once a week! Yay! Her neck muscles are loosened up but still weak... she won't pick her head up during tummy time but is starting to hold it up when we hold her or during some of our exercises from PT.

I realized I can't run with her yet since she doesn't have head control, so I'll be walking the races I signed up for

[rachelilly23]

blackbird I would just say screw it and buy a new one, but I'm lazy and just wouldn't want to make all those phone calls AND deal with getting the parts AND waiting longer for a working machine.

I agree with the above.

Another option is to get a cheap one on Craigslist or a scratch and dent store until the parts come in for your current one.

If I had known it was going to take this long AND the issue with the warranty/purchase date originally, I would have. But the parts are supposed to be in today. At this point, it'll prolly take the same amount of time to get a new machine delivered.

This whole thing is stinking ridiculous.

Who is back to work today and how is it going? I am having an okay day. One of my coworkers bought me flowers and had an adorable custom blanket made for DD2. I am a little bummed about pumping, I don't think I will pump enough daily for her so I may have to start supplementing soon but I promised myself I wouldn't beat myself up about it like I did last time :-)

[Missy0483]

Well nothing changed at my job since I left 12 weeks ago, same old crap there haha. A coworker had told me another coworker that sits beside her (we don't get along with her very well) falls asleep at her desk. She got video proof of it today and showed me. It irritates me because 1. I took several responsibilities from her to free up her time for more IT projects, so I freed up her time to sleep?!?!? and 2. I have a 2 year old and a newborn and I can stay awake during the day so get it together slacker! My boss has been caught falling asleep at his desk before too so there's no use complaining to him. Besides that, I realized I need to get up earlier in the mornings so I can get myself and the kids ready I didn't factor in DD dragging her feet about EVERYTHING: brushing her teeth, getting dressed, getting her shoes on, and then her taking them off on the 5 minute drive to daycare and having to put them on again lol.

I worry about pumping enough as well. I have back-to-back meetings all day tomorrow so I'm trying to figure out when I can squeeze in a few pump sesions. I'm just glad D left a few ounces at daycare today because I only got two sessions today for tomorrow's feedings. It can be so stressful and frustrating at times.

I finally got H to agree to throw out this one shirt that he has had longer than we have been together and is so beat. I have asked him to trash it at every move we have made over the past 7 years, which is like 8 moves. He never wears it anymore it's become somewhat of a joke that he won't toss it but today he finally agreed. I feel very accomplished. Lol

[paloslee]

arbe congrats and good luck on the 2nd interview!

Haha I hate having to lie b/c I'm interviewing.  I'm always like, they're ON TO ME! Even though there is no way they'd know. :0) Good luck!
