Be my decision makers? Target has a good deal on Dr. Seuss books.... I currently have 13 sitting in my cart for just under $100. Should I or shouldn't I? Retail price on all together is almost $150...
SO pretended Valentine's Day didn't exist last year. Expecting the Same this year and setting myself up for disappointment. I don't care if he gets me anything just wish he would acknowledge the day and at least. Men.
Have you told him? I know we probably want the guys to do sweet things without having to tell them, but sometimes DH needs a reminder or indication that something is important to me.
Our second Valentine's Day together, we were engaged, and I told him not to get me anything because we needed to save for the wedding. He literally did nothing. I was mad. It's kind of funny now because he knows that if I say "Don't get me anything," he should at least get a card. When I say, "Don't get me anything," he's like, "Yeah, we all know what that means. "
I try to mention it in passing I'm not like hey don't forget Valentine's Day but I jokingly bring up last year and all week kept saying yep Saturday is the 14th VALENTINES DAY. lol
Hahaha! I was listening to this and laughing, but little did I know the 5 y/o was behind me. At the part where GG says "vagina" really obnoxiously my DS says "What about China?" I paused it with the quickness!

My local wal mart had dr Seuss books for $5 each!
target has the ones that are originally $9 for $5 and the ones that are $15+ for $10... I placed the order. Dr Seuss is a classic series we want to get for DS anyway, so why not start now?
Unimpressed with my H lately. Not helpful with the LO or older kids (common refrain- "sorry, babe, I didn't hear her last night." And somehow you didn't feel me trying to punch you awake 19 times either. Huh.) He routinely sucks at holidays and anniversaries so I know it won't be different today, but I was kind of hoping that he would make an effort since I nearly died having his fourth baby a few weeks ago. Ugh.

Ugh, just typed a huge post and it deleted itself.
Basically, the last 24hrs have been ridiculous ups and downs and happy date night and stupid toddler tantrums and I'm hopefully going to get a nap now and some quiet which is the best Valentine's gift of all.

Sorry your husband isn't helpful. Mine sucks at holidays and birthdays, too. I hoped this year since I'm the mother of his child he might do something thoughtful. Instead this morning he says, "What do you want for Valentine's Day?" I told him if he had to ask and wasn't just going to do something on his own without my direction, just forget about it.
Also, as for my random thought for the day, I shaved my legs in case I get brave and put out today. I already don't feel like it, so not counting on anything.

Jude either slept like a champ last night, or I'm so sleep deprived I just don't realize when I'm awake. There's a chance he stayed asleep until 6, but I honestly don't know. I woke up with a boob out of my bra and I know they were both in when I went to sleep.
Super annoying. It's not like it isn't posted EVERYWHERE. If you can't take the minute to find it, you know in every other thread, I'm not sure I want you here. (Not you megan81112 ♡, general you ... those who ask where we've all gone repeatedly).

The rock n play finally has lived up to its reputation. The dictator is happily enjoying the vibration and mommy's back is enjoying the break from walking/bouncing him.
My DH also sucks at holidays where gifts are involved.... when he remembers ahead of time to get something its a practical (aka: crappy) gift. He has asked me twice this week what I wanted for Valentines Day and I told him the same thing both times. He has recently gotten bad about not purchasing anything until after the fact or the day of. My Christmas gift was purchased a few days after Christmas. He told me that he wants to get me something I need and I keep telling him that I always purchase what I need when I need it so that isn't necessary or easy.
On another note.... my poor baby is having constipation issues. She has only had one poopy diaper in the past 36 hours, after reading the article that was posted yesterday about the GBS babies (totally my LO) I don't want to do anything to stimulate a BM, but she is really fussy and seems just uncomfortable. Any advice doctor hens?
Today's love it for those on mobile: ____ approves this message
I would say that I can't believe people on voldeboard are still asking for the link after it's been posted over and over but who am I kidding? Some people are idiots.
Speaking of idiots, my neighbor... her kids are "homeschooled." By homeschooled, I mean, they sit at home and play video games or watch tv all day and don't actually learn anything while their mother stands outside all day (in the freezing cold...) yelling at someone and smoking. The one kid creepily asked me if there was a baby in the infant seat I was carrying inside the other day. Yes, it's a baby; now, please go away and don't creepily stare at my newborn. Unfortunately, I can hear everything over our TV when we have it on. *sigh* I missed having the next door apartment vacant. (the idiot is the women, not her kids)
Worst mom ever moment. Last night as I side-nursed baby, I dropped my phone on his little head. I cried longer and harder than he did.
Oh no! That's the worst feeling I'm sorry I put my wedding ring on for the first time since LO was born at our newborn shoot. When she got fussy I tried nursing her and she started yelling so loud. Turns out I was poking her with my tall ring! I felt so awful.
My H has been on "paternity" leave for 3 weeks and entered the stir crazy phase at the beginning of the week. He's gone all Rambo on the backyard cutting back trees behind the fence and making the fire pit (which looks really nice). He's currently trying to cut down the dead orange tree with an axe even though we have a chainsaw in the garage. Why do men have to do things the hard way?
Edit: Hahaha! I heard the chainsaw fire up right as I hit submit!
Big strong man use brain now :::said in cave woman voice:::
Another random for today.... My DH is a slob (didn't used to be) and I have always refused to clean up after him. His parents are coming over to visit tomorrow, he is working today, and he has a buddy coming over to help him work on a truck tomorrow as well. Our house is a total mess. When he cooks the whole kitchen gets dirty (he cooked 3 times this past week), when he comes home he leaves his clothes in the floor on his way to the shower, he still has yet to put away his clean clothes that are laid out on our couch. I will not be picking up his crap before his family comes over. I figure it is his family they should know. I wouldn't mind to do his laundry for him since I am home IF they were in a clothes basket and not on the floor.

I think you just described my husband! But if I leave hiss mess everywhere after a few weeks he will start cleaning and be super pissy all day. Like it's my fault he's so damn messy!

His poor face has been getting so bad. First it was just bumps. Then it got rough and dry. Then came flakes. Now he has yellow crusties on his ears in the mornings. So we are heading to the doctors. It has gotten so red I'm afraid it's hurting him.

After a couple weeks I usually can't take it and I throw a big fit about it and he picks up... won't clean but at least he picks up.
I have been using Bio Oil.... it seems to be working. I don't use it as often as I should but I have noticed they are fading a little. I have a TON of stretch marks and all in the middle of my belly and surrounding by belly button, it's gross.
