Compliment An A14er

[cdseno]

@gjngy thanks for practically being my twin. It's nice to know I'm not the only one living this weirdo life of mine.

I have such admiration for trichie5 and fyoubumpmay. I'm pretty sure I would have a full blown anxiety attack if I was pregnant again, so I think you both are amazing!

Aw, thanks love, but I assure you that I'm not above having anxiety attacks .

sosayweall you are so sweet to everyone! And I love that we are twins. You always understand me. I wish we knew each other IRL! Also, happy 6 months to your LO, right?

DVMmomma for rocking vet school, mommyhood, and probably everything else too!

@lizziebennett and @zoegirltx I think you are both total badasses for working full time and working out all the time. I want to get myself motivated to do this!

Thanks...seriously I can only do it b/c
1- DD is sleeping good
2- I wake up at 4
3- My mom helps out twice a week
4- DH is pretty helpful

What a great idea for a thread...Happy V-day everybody.

I keep starting my post and then realize it will literally turn into a novel that I simply can't do on this damn phone. I love so many of you! I'm like the Oscars speech that the music will start rolling to tell me to shut up and go home. I love the entertainment and knowledge you all bring me!

So,'I'll do my quick general shout outs:

Mad props to working moms, especially those that pump. I read your schedules and I get stressed out for you. You guys do so much in a day and still manage to keep it all together.

And to my fellow SAHMs, it's so nice to have others understand the "struggles". Sometimes people think it's so easy and we are living the life, so I don't talk about any struggles IRL. It's nice to know there are people who get it.

Oh and becominggold I want that damn high chair too!

My thoughts exactly! Except I don't know about the high chair. Must've missed that.

Thanks sosayweall.  You are so amazing and uplifting.  But I'm really lazier than you think.  Zoegirltx sounds way more motivated than I.  

[mrsnorris]

redhorizon343, I wish we knew each other IRL because I think we would absolutely be BFFs. Too bad we live on opposite sides of the continent.

gingy, you make me laugh and I find myself nodding along at so much of what you say, and some nights when I'm laying with LO trying to get her to sleep I feel like you, DoesItComeInPink? and I are the only ones on the board.

sweetpies, you make me laugh and I totally want to hear some of your stories after the Never did I ever game.

cdseno, I don't know how you do it with two LOs, kicking ass in school and still keeping up with everyone here and being so supportive- you rock!

daisylola11, you're really supportive and the hippo cracked me up. Also, I'm totally on board with your A14 t-shirt idea

weeklyplanner, fellow nap holder- I feel like I can relate to a lot of your experiences and I think you always give good advice and are really supportive- also, like someone else said, I love your screen name

sjshark I love the articles you post and I think you make a lot of sense and I find myself agreeing with you a lot!

lucylou I love how you posted an intro and then just really jumped in. I was too nervous at first for no logical reason.

@lizziebennet I think you're really supportive and share a lot of great info!

mislogis, your avatar always makes me smile- your girls are beautiful!

@lemonpielover I think you're hilarious and I also think you do a great job of finding humor when things are shitty and of being really supportive of others even when you're going through things yourself

shevacc you made me feel much more comfortable with co-sleeping by sharing your experiences

And all the moms of preemies and LOs who have been struggling in various ways impress the hell out of me. Parenting is no joke under ideal circumstances and I think you ladies are amazing for all you do!

All of A14 is amazing and I could say something about all of you.

weeklyplanner, you were right- I feel like I'm giving an Oscar speech and I could easily keep going. Unfortunately (fortunately?) LO is waking up.

3magicbeans and mc03 I really look up to you as working moms. I have a lot of issues accepting this role for myself and I think you both do it fabulously.

Awe, thanks sosayweall

[3magicbeans]

trichie5, joshan1719, navyblues2114 - and any other 2u2 mamas, I'm so thankful that you all have a presence here to remind me that I'm not alone and that 2u2 is do-able on the days that I feel like I really lack grace

@lemonpielover - you are so strong, I know that you mentioned that you have lost your parents and its hard to have kids without parents around/available/present in some capacity.

mrsnorris and @zoegirltx and shevacc you ladies are so eloquent and your posts are always so put together and well thought out

I was also going to thank Chrisse, @yodasmom and wickednomnoms for always being up to commiserate with me about the weather

Also thanks to @addysmama22 and DoesItComeInPink for being the heart of the board

[Chrisse]

3magicbeans,

bobloblaw You are funny and seem down to earth. You bring quick wit to our board and you will call out someone when needed.

mandapanda1382, you make a girl feel good!  I'm totally blushing. I always felt invisible on TD so this really made me smile. Thank you! You are always so supportive and responsive in your posts and a total sweetie. 

puffandstuff you are my inspiration for not making mountains out of molehills as a parent. I like how you don't sweat stuff and go with the flow. 

@lemonpielover, you make me laugh. You are SO, SO quick on the draw

DoesItComeInPink, OMG the sweetness and caring that you exude.

mrsnorris, your responses are so well-thought out and caring. You can tell you were an amazing educator and are a great mother

@zoegirltx I wish I had your energy and togetherness. I can't even think about working out or traveling for work OR getting up at 4AM!  Holy crap that's early.

cdseno & weeklyplanner, your conversation about "duck butter" made me laugh so hard. LO stopped nursing to look at me like "WTH, mom?!" because I was laughing so hard his head was bouncing off my boob.

yogini kiki you strike me as a very honest and straight-forward person. I think we'd like each other IRL.

To all of the student moms- you all are rock stars. It's a full time job to be a mom and another to be a student… and if you are working too, well, that too. Rock on with your bad selves.

To all of the working moms- you help me more than you know to get through my day. Just knowing I'm not alone and the struggle to balance it all is real, and surmountable. And that one day I will have my shit together again!

To all of the SAHMs you are amazing. It's hard to not have a break from your kids and to try to keep your kid(s) engaged and stimulated. So many think you have it easy but it's not. Still, I'm jealous of you all. 

Sorry I'm so late to this. probing this weekend has been non-existant.
