nemomof2 that's what I did for lo's cupcakes this year too. Last year I was feeling ambitious and tried to make them completely from scratch. The chocolate cupcakes were good, but the yellow cupcakes turned out really weird.
DD is refusing to nap. I have no idea where all this energy is coming from. She is definitely going to bed early. I don't care if it's her birthday or not.
ashlanticnemomof2 That's how we make cake, box with homemade frosting. I tried the Pinterest hack (milk for water, melted butter for oil) and got rave reviews. Turns out so moist.

Toddler is running around the house pretending to chop things up (including our pets) with her toy chainsaw and cackling hysterically. I might be in a horror film. Haha.
Lo woke up screaming and hysterical last night at 11 and was up every hour after that. My best guess is he either had a nightmare or teeth? He says nothing hurts when we ask him.
And then for good measure he woke up for the day at 6, screaming for dh, who was already at work. Please send coffee.
Thanks ladies. Made it to naptime. Here's hoping he takes a good, solid nap.
raven that sounds delicious- I'll have to look that up. Hope naptime goes better for you today. ourcrazynavylife I chuckled at your story about Em because my friend is pawning off her kid's play tools on us for that same reason- apparently her kiddos were playing "surgery" with them. Lol Good luck at your clinicals!

Just a pop in. Have been crazy busy! More MIL drama over the house sale - she's officially not welcome at our house if I'm home, LO turned 2 (!!), I've been sending out my resume to firms in CO like a crazy person, I'm hosting a bridal shower at my house this weekend (what was I thinking?!) and my gma has been in the hospital for a week and it's not looking good. And I'm PMSing and want to go home and peel off these damn panty hose and sit in the bathtub and drink wine and catch up on the bachelor. Wah wah wah

Left clinicals early because I had the worst stomach ache of my life. Took a two hour nap and feel fine now. I think the tomato sauce I had was just too acidic or something.
Now to cook dinner and tackle the ridiculous amount of homework that I have for tomorrow.
Butttt little man's crib should be delivered tomorrow!!
I had a dentist appt this morning and FIL was supposed to watch LO. He didn't answer the door after 15 minutes, so I took her with. (He apparently forgot and slept in) Thank goodness it was a 15 minute procedure, and she did great. She did try to hang out with the dentist afterward, following him out of the room into the back. I'm lucky my dentist is nice and kid friendly.
I was so mad, I did a little retail therapy afterward. I just couldn't pass this up.
The cutest hamper in the world.
It's like a switch got turned on on LO's birthday. She is definitely acting like a 2 year old. :/

raven Cute hamper!! I'm checking my email like a freakin crazy person today. I know even if a firm received my resume and actually looked at it, it'd still be a few days/weeks to hear something, but I'm just anxious and trying to be optimistic.

Omg Leo won't nap and keeps waking up Alex. And he hit him twice as I nursed him. Once in the tummy and then in the head. None were that hard but did startle baby and scared me. I don't even know how to give Leo any consequences he understands. I took away his dinosaur but not sure he'll remember why. Ugh.
Feeling like a new woman after a good night's sleep last night. Lo was in a better mood too.
Crazy moment of the day- discovered a squirrel crawled into the towels we keep in the garage to wash cars... and died. I still have the heebie jeebies thinking about it.
laceysbryan did you ever catch up on the Bachelor? I can't stop watching even though I hate Nick. It makes for some nice mindless entertainment at least! Sorry your MIL is continuing to be an ass. I hope YH has your back with that! Happy birthday to your lo! Fx you hear something soon from your job hunt. ourcrazynavylife hope you're feeling better today. raven omg I'd be pissed too. That hamper is adorable at least! littlelion sorry Leo is being a handful. Are timeouts effective for him? That's what we do when lo hits or kicks. We don't even have a specific spot, we just sit him down wherever he happens to be.

ashlantic Yes! I'm all caught up. FFTC: I like Nick. I didn't like him on either of the Bachelorette seasons, but I liked him in BIP. I'm pretty sure the producers played him up big time in BIP so that would happen. Whatever. It's good trash tv. Paging sgio7485 How are you feeling? Did your LO catch it?? Thinking of you guys!

Oh hi! Thanks for thinking of us. Knock on everything made of wood... he hasn't had it yet. I'm scared to even say that. We are all much better now but rescheduled his bday so we don't send norovirus home as a party favor!

ashlantic I can try the timeout. I'll try anything. Leo progressed to throw his trucks at me. I had to pick up all his cars/trucks and took those away. He cried for a bit but then moved on.

All of this at my house. SUUUUUUUUPER frustrating when they don't understand/care they're being punished. I can only say no so many times before I feel like I'm wasting my breath and it's not working. :/

Yep. Mine likes to laugh at me too. I have to walk away.

We're in the same boat here. She smiles and giggles when I try to say no. I know she's thinking "yeah f-ing right, lady".

Hello hello, Not much going on here today. We're having a string of rainy days so just hanging out inside. DH is on duty so he won't be home until tomorrow morning.
