rachydc screw them. You look fabulous. I got pregnant immediately after my wedding so I will never ever be at my pre-baby weight again. And ya know what? That's ok. I'd rather have some extra weight and be able to enjoy ice cream with my kids vs. Be on WW and work out hard 5x a week.
DH is at jury duty today and was called in to the court room for questioning. With my luck, he's going to be chosen for some hardcore case, and I'll be solo parenting all of this week. It's especially fitting since we'll be making decisions on putting an offer on a house and finalizing our Disney dates. Also, we'd planned to do our taxes tonight.
In related news, he keeps complaining about how bored he is, and I'm all "that sounds amazing."

RIGHT? I haven't been bored since, like, 2001. That sounds so nice.

Bill is such a ninny about temperature. I swear to god, he thinks anything above room temperature is too hot. I'm also slightly annoyed that this seems to extend to spice level as well. He used to love spicy foods and now at restaurants I have to order the table side guacamole "mild". It's very embarrassing (although I think my SO is secretly happy because he's more of a medium spice guy).
Anyway, I was thinking of taking Bill to the aquarium today, but he's actually in his room "reading" (i.e. Looking at pictures of garbage trucks) so I am just enjoying the quiet while it lasts. And that's my (boring AF) Monday random.
I hate going to my MIL's house. It's an hour away and is a toddler death trap. Actual time spent with MIL is lovely, but there are small breakable things everywhere and no way to child proof at all. My husband is almost always busy while we're there, so I spend the entire visit chasing Elena, telling her no, trying to keep her from eating anything or breaking anything.
I've told my husband many times how much I hate going out there because of this. He always says he'll help but he can't really do that when he's fixing her roof or mowing, ya know?
Now he's volunteered to help move some stuff out there Wednesday and is giving me the same line. Moving stuff won't take very long! Teenage cousin will be there to help! Blah blah blah. No. It is the worst. I do not want to go and I hate that he continues to try to convince me it's fine or will be fine. It is not fine.
But....if he's going there to move stuff, why do you and the children need to be present? This makes no sense. You should not be required to travel anywhere you don't want to with a toddler and a newborn. Hard pass.
Why am I married to a man child? He exhausts me. So MONTHS ago I told him he could go visit his Dad for a WEEKEND with his brother. His dad lives about 5 hours away. He mentioned not a word since. So yesterday after I've worked all weekend, he asks if he could go with his brother on TUESDAY as in 2 days away. Ummm....no!!! A. You can't just leave all your responsibilities. B. I have to work and he needs to do daycare drop off and pick up, because they aren't open early enough or late enough for me to do them. He then asks if my Mom can come help. Dude, you call her and ask. C. He has no time left to miss work. We both agreed neither of us would take any unpaid time off, unless it was illness related. He asked once, I said no. He continued to ask. I finally went to bed. He ended up with food poisoning from eating at a hole in the wall place with his brother yesterday. Somehow it's my fault. He's been huffing and puffing all day and refuses to talk to me. I have more reasonable conversations with the toddler. Why is it so hard to plan things ahead of time? We are not in a stage in our life when we can just pick up and leave with no notice.
rach I'm so sorry for your loss. I also hope your trip and conference are going well! rachydc assholes. You look amazing! I will likely never be at my wedding weight unless I get mono or something. It what it is! @ceci8876 I hope you are feeling better now. That sounds rough. kristhegirl no, you are not going to go help them move. Your internet friends will not allow it! @feegan yay for moving!!! I'm inviting myself over to see your new house once you are settled and I'll bring you some treats!
This is like a SUPER Monday. We had to come home from our lake house early because my h had a work issue, so I was home doing laundry and unpacking eleventy billion bags of toddler/baby/dog stuff when daycare called to say Henry has pink eye. In the 15 minutes it took me to grab the baby and go get him, he bit a little girl and then when the teacher tried to separate them he bit AGAIN. I feel like such and asshole for sending him sick and then on top of that he bit he hasn't bitten anyone since he turned one, so I guess this is back on our radar. I just got him down for a nap and am now working on getting Louis into his crib so I can sanitize everything. Booo.
H just called to tell me he thinks he has pink eye too. He asked me to get a prescription from the doctor for him. LOL. I do a lot for him, but I think I draw the line at impersonating him and calling his doctor. If I wasn't laughing I'd be raging at this request.
Thank you lawandorder & EmMilAlly. I've been under a Iot of stress the past month or so. Saturday, I was having a great day....until I lost my car in the mall parking garage. Like literally walked for an hour and couldn't find it. I totally broke down. I felt like my head was spinning. I called my parents to come help me and they thought I was joking. Who the hell asks "didnt you use the car alarm thing?" OF COURSE I DID. They were laughing. Until I screamed and cried in the phone. Then they called my husband. So everyone descends on me in the garage, with the baby which was fantastic. My husband drives around the garage and finds the car. It was on one of those half floor things and he said he actually passed by it before he came back around and found it. So then all my siblings call me yesterday to "check in' on me. Although nobody asked "what can I do for you?" Bitches. My mother calls to say "this just means you're human like the rest of us". Oh, thank you....I think. Again, no sign of "what can I do to make your load easier?". Not even, "Don't worry about hosting family brunch next week." Nope. Just keep swimming....or drowning
@ceci8876 I hope you are doing better. Sorry your family didn't offer any help. If you ever need someone to talk to in person or on the phone I am here!

So many hugs EmMilAlly viv is a biter too. She does it when she wants to hug, when she is mad, when the sky is blue...who knows and it sucks! Every time at church I am so worried we will get called out because she bit.
Hugs @ceci8876 that is hard. I know you want them to offer help but since it looks like they are not picking up the obvious signs can you ask? I know it sucks to ask but you should not be waiting until the point where you are breaking down for them to catch on. It is not good for your health. I have to be direct with my husband bc he just doesn't think about it otherwise. I mean this in the most sincere way so please do not take it as anything but concern for you.
We left the museum because we were all so tired. So now I am sitting in the car with a sleeping viv whilst my mil is in target with the bigs.
Have you guys ever eaten something alone and felt kinda guilty because you know how much your LO would enjoy it? I just cut up a pear and was like "Man, A would LOVE this. I should save some for her." But really, I can't because it's delicious and I'm going to eat it all.

@ceci8876, the exact same thing happened to me at Legacy Place. After a dinner with girlfriends I couldn't find my car and seriously one of my friends drove past me and in a nice condescending voice said..."oh honey get in I'll find your car." It's the worst feeling. Hope you're feeling better.
@ceci8876 I'm so sorry you hit your breaking point. I have a hard time asking for help, mostly because I'm the only one that does it "right" so it is easier to do it myself. I hope you find a way to take a break and get some breathing room.
rachydc I'm usually the one shoveling food in my mouth quickly so I don't have to share. My husband says my love for sharing food is one of my best qualities

rachydc, if there's something I don't want to share I eat it when DS isn't around.
It is funny, he usually doesn't ask for food out loud. He comes up to us with a glimmer in his eye and his mouth wide open, waiting for us to share. It is pretty cute and hard to deny when he does that.

@ceci8876, when Ds1 was 4 weeks old we went to the mall to buy my mom a thank you for taking care of us for 2 weeks. We went to leave and walked for HOURS (I had to stop to feed) and couldn't find the car. Lo and behold, the mall has 2 Macy's at opposite ends -WTF??? We were so sleep deprived and new in town and had no idea.
I just met my new therapist. She's older than my mom, a cute and trendy older white woman. I wasn't sure how it would work, but she felt good. She feels genuine and like someone I could sit and have coffee with. I go back Monday. I'll be expecting a call from a prescriber to up my Zoloft. Fuck. I was hoping to get off of it for my next pregnancy.
@ceci8876 - I'm sorry about your meltdown. While I haven't been there in that precise parking lot, I've been there. I'm sorry your family is clueless. They wouldn't prescribe Zoloft during pregnancy if it weren't safer than the alternative. I hope between that and your family wising up you can get some relief.

It was Legacy Place. WTF?
I will only park in the open outside lot near a familiar store cause the garage is so confusing. I'm not kidding- I had to go to the Apple Store last month and no spots outside. I then parked on the roof of the garage at a spot facing the Apple Store. I proceeded to stare at my car while the genious guy talked to me.
Well, I spent most of the afternoon on lockdown. There were 2 guys with guns on the roof of the house DIRECTLY across the street from my classroom window. They had a whole sniper nest set up on the roof and they had their guns aimed pretty much in to my classroom. Turns out it was just pellet guns THANK GOD but what kind of fucking idiots point pellet guns sniper-style toward a school in the middle of the fucking school day?!
