I seriously want to be a SAHM!! I hate working and I hate how I pump practically nothing at the end of the week. It's so stressful and makes me feel like a failure
Boo. That is crappy. Hugs and chocolate and overflowing milk vibes.

Ugh I have a selfish rant. Every year DH fucks up my birthday in some way. I don't have extremely high expectations and I clearly state what I would like. It's like whatever I say is an after thought. All I wanted was a fucking cake and a candle. Is that really so hard?? It's my bday party and I will whine if I want. #spoiledbrat

Both boys are sleeping in the car so I am sitting in the driveway eating a donut and probing with the car running. Waste of gas? Yup. Will I regret it later when J won't go to bed? Yup. But for now it is so nice.
I would like to make leggings illegal at my workplace. Some people wear them and don't wear a longer top with them....yikes!!!
I work in a pretty conservative office (dress-wise). Usually a suit, or dress pants/skirt and a blazer or cardigan are acceptable attire. There is one woman who routinely wears leggings and denim shirts. Personally, I do not care what people wear...but I am amazed she doesn't seem to notice she is a total outlier. The CEO was in town a few weeks ago and she rocked the leggings with cowboy boots and a henley to that meeting. The other 14 of us were in suits.

Ahh that's kind of embarrassing for her! We have a teacher who always gets in trouble for wearing jeans to parent conferences and to work, but she's so clueless she keeps doing it.
My DH is leaving Saturday for Guatemala for 8 days! It's been planned since I was pregnant (and even then I told him I didn't want him to go). I was going to go stay with my parents for a couple of the days but DS is having major BF problems right now (a whole other thread) and I feel like a major disruption in routine like that will break the camel's back. But idk how I'm going to do 8 days and nights alone with LO. Doesn't help that he is a crap sleeper. Dreading it...DH owes me big!

I assume he's going for fun and not work? I mean, work trips can be unavoidable but if DW said she was going on an eight day vacation and leaving me home with LO, it would NOT go over well. She would owe me to say the least! That said, I LOVE Guatemala- DD1 and I once spent a month there doing a home stay and studying Spanish- and would jump on another trip in a second! That said, I wouldn't want to take LO to any place where you can't drink the water just yet.

My H has been out of the country since early Saturday. It has been ok....but has given me a whole new respect for single parents and those whose SO work crazy hrs. And....I am totally escaping for a pedi once he gets back.

My DH doesn't know how to be quiet. Everything he does is SO loud. Clears his throat, blows his nose, "whispers", laundry. He can't be quiet. I think he just threw a hand full of pennies in the dryer with his clothes. And you wonder why our kid doesn't sleep....

He's going on a mission trip of sorts. Helping them build bathrooms. He went last year (while I was pregnant but nbd) with a group and helped build a basketball court at the school. He fell in love and as soon as he came back he said he wanted to go back this year. I was like uh you realize we'll have a 6 month old right? Well he went ahead and signed up (before the baby came) and in my head I was thinking wellll the baby will be 6 months by then, it won't be too bad, so I didn't put up much of a fight. By the time I realized 6 months is not the walk in the park I thought it would be, he had already committed, paid for it, etc. That doesn't stop me from giving him major guilt trip though. I feel like he could have gotten out of it or let someone who wants to go but can't afford it go in his place. Oh well too late now I guess ?

My H has been out of the country since early Saturday. It has been ok....but has given me a whole new respect for single parents and those whose SO work crazy hrs. And....I am totally escaping for a pedi once he gets back.
I feel for you! When does he get back? I just know that days when H has something going on after work and doesn't get home until late I am so ready for a break. I'm with him all day (including holding him for naps) and recently he won't sleep at night unless I bring him to bed with me. MOTYH. I may try to see if he will sleep in my bed alone till I'm ready to come up but if not I feel like I'm going to have zero breaks. Sorry for the pity party rant. It felt good to get that out!

Rant away! My H gets back late tomorrow night. I normally work 12:30-3, but had a previous commitment this week to teach some extra morning classes. In a way it has been perfect because it has given me a break, but LO has been extra clingy. I think he misses both of us. Do you have anyone who could take your LO for a couple hours one or two afternoons??

Ah, that's a bit more justifiable than a vacation then. Still tough for you, though! I'd want a lot of afternoons out by myself to make up for it!

Must be a man thing. It never fails, as soon as she falls asleep he coughs so loud. He also turns every light on in the house while he gets ready for work while we're still sleeping.
H got up this morning and did his usual long shit and shower. His phone alarm went off the entire time and it was on the table and I was trapped with a half asleep nursing baby so I couldn't get to it. I wanted to punch him bad.

That worked out well! Sad about your LO missing him. I'm anxious to see how DS will react when H gets back. I assume he will remember him?? I did talk to my mom about her maybe coming one day and spending the night. I feel bad for making her use vacation time but desperate times!
