I really wish someone would mistake me for a teenager. The last time someone carded me, which wasn't recently, I was so flattered, but then the cashier was like, "I have to do this for everyone." Womp womp.
It's actually not great. Other adults have talked to me in a really rude tone, call me "sweetie," etc. Being talked to and treated like a child is unbelievably frustrating.
So out of sheer frustration yesterday I decided to cut DD's bangs that were all in her eyes. DH knew of this plan. Then literally 4 seconds (4 seconds!) after I cut her bangs way too short and totally uneven DH reminds me that picture day at daycare is on Tuesday Then today I got a call from daycare that DS gave himself a giant scratch across his face.
Ugh. My grandmother always cut my bangs before picture day and I always looked ridiculous...I feel for the kid
LO is finally asleep after a fussy/needy day. To bad she's strapped in the car seat/stroller in my driveway after a walk. I'd give anything not to have to wake her.
Yes! H seriously wanders all over. We can't shop together because it ends in big fights. I'm super efficient and he wanders from one side of the store to the other with zero plan.
I sent him with a list in order of where things are in the store. Apparently that didn't make it easy enough. He better bring me something good if he didn't buy from the list.
I do the same and make a list based on the store layout. Still takes forever and he buys random crap.

Yeah, if I had remembered that picture day was coming up there is no way I would have done it. Not that I meant it to go so badly. Luckley she is not even 2 yet, so she does not know how bad it looks. DH tried taking her to a kids hair cut place after to see if it could be salvaged. They were closed since it was Sunday, but the owner was just walking out from doing some cleaning. She ended up helping and not charging him (he did buy some shampoo since she did not charge him). She did a little bit of clean up work, but did not fix the uneven cut because then it would all be too short. She did show him how to style her bangs to the side with some gel so maybe she will not look rediculous. FX pictures come out ok. They do pictures 3 or 4 times a year, but thsee are DS's first ones so I was hoping for a cute one of them together.
I went to a training for work tonight and Dh watched ry when I got home it looked like someone fought a war in the living room, burp cloths all over, the ergo was laying out, every piece of baby equipment was out but the baby is feed and sleeping in his bed and Dh is sleeping ... I guess I would consider that a win haha Dh had his glasses on, I woke him up to tell him I was home and asked why his glasses were on and he said in case he needed to get up. LOL he's a good dad
My niece is staying with her dad for the summer, halfway across the country. I sent her a birthday card 1.5 weeks ago, and she said she never got it. Her dad is a useless POS, so I'm kind of paranoid that he took it, stole the money out, and threw away the card to make it look like we never sent anything. Too bad there's no way to prove it

M has spit up every feed so far this morning. It's so much milk that I don't know if any is even staying down. He's not too grumpy and doesn't have a fever, but everything is soaked with spit up.
Last day of maternity leave. I am finding the sahm lifestyle much more appealing this time around. Struggling between the urge to get a bunch of stuff done around the house and sitting on the couch snuggling all day

My older kids are driving me nuts. Made them breakfast and they complained. Took them to the library and they whined and fought the whole time. Got home and made them lunch, more complaining. I'm about to lose my cool and the baby is sensing my anxiety, because he's getting fussy and he's never like that.
So I'm done. The older kids are on their own for the rest of the day til DH gets home. I can't do this on a few hours if sleep. I'm taking a half day
@pennygirl2013 I'm surprised none of the kids at my work have asked what I'm doing when I go to the basement with a lunch bag multiple times a day. But if they do ask what I'm doing, my response will be "super secret spy stuff." If they ask why I have a lunch bag: "because being a spy makes me hungry. I need snacks."
I walked back up to my office with some of my stuff after pumping and someone actually asked what I had in my bag. WTF.
I always walk from the room I pump in to the kitchen carrying the filled bottles of milk with the flanges still on. It is a short walk, and the place I pump is someone's office, so not the best place for transferring the milk. Well the other day I ended up walking past a huge tour group going through our building, and I felt very self conscious, like everyone knew what I was doing. I am sure that absolutley no one noticed.
Plus in the kitchen I always end up having conversations with people who are getting coffee while I am transferring my pumped milk. I just try to act all nonchalant about it.

I vote snuggle all day! Good luck back at work tomorrow!
LO is still having a rough time napping at DC. The secretary has been having to walk him around when he is tired and fussy. He sleeps maybe 30 min a day. Makes me feel bad for him
My baby just goes two days a week and is only a week in, but she's only been napping about 50 min total. At least they say she's happy!

We went out to dinner and the kids did great. It was so nice to be out, we have been avoiding it since my toddler tends to make it not super enjoyable!
If one more person at work says something about how my having 12 weeks for maternity leave was "such a luxury", I'm going to scream.
I want to say "I wouldn't call our policy that is the bare minimum 12 weeks unpaid leave required by law a 'luxury'. Especially when the US is one of like 3 countries that offers no paid leave, and many countries allow mothers to take 6+ months to care for their baby. And also I spent those 12 weeks crying, not sleeping, and covered in poop and spit up. But please, tell me again how this was such a luxury and act like I should just be so grateful or like I was on vacation for 3 months."
We hadn't planned to do this, but we are now transitioning S to his crib. Last night we had no power (again, ugh) and S's room was the coolest in the house due to his room having no windows so the whole family slept in his room with S in his crib. He did GREAT. After a week of no sleeping, it was a welcome change. So I guess we are done with the bassinet! Hopefully he continues to do well.
