O decided that 4:30 was our wake up time today. Pass all the coffee.
Our friend spent the night so he'd be closer to the airport for an early flight. Normally O sleeps through everything a night but started screaming when the shower next to his room got turned on. I was the sucker who went in to comfort him and he figured it was time to wake up.
carrots, have a great first day back today! You'll be home to M in no time :-)
Apparently I have a new puppy at my house. Its my J15 toddler aka "Leo puppy". He was crawling around the house barking constantly and wanting his head patted...nearly all weekend long. Also chewing on toys and eating his food like a dog. For reference, we do not have any real dogs at our house.

This is DD lately (except we do have a dog). It's cute to see them able to play pretend. She was even crawling around her crib practicing her dog skills before bed last night.
Update: I texted my mom to let her know about O's early morning antics. She brought me breakfast when she came to watch him for the day. I might have cried a little.
Regular Monday for me. Trying to plan it out so I can take Crossfit classes again- my former gym is about a mile out from my job, plus parking sucks, and it's a mile from the train too, so it's tough to make it there without completely missing Ms bedtime twice a week. There's one gym near my house, but it doesn't have too many reviews, so I'm a bit nervous.
Good morning! We had another beautiful weekend, except I probably should have rested a lot more than I did after my surgery, so now my uterus is a little mad at me. Worth it though. We spent last night having a BBQ at SIL's house, and DS had such a blast on her swing set that now we're thinking of getting him a "big kid" swing set this year for his birthday.
This week is also back to a normal, full work week for the first one in a while for our family. Not really excited about that, but I am happy that it looks like most of the week will be sunny and warm, so hopefully we still get some good outside fun in after dinner. Hope everyone has a great week ahead!

holliberry28- what about compromising and missing his bedtime once a week? I feel like it would make you happy to be able to get in some gym time for yourself.
I've got all the nerves and anxiety for the new job today. I have to go into the office to meet with my boss and HR, so it's going to be a long day with lots of driving in traffic, and I'll miss LBB's practice this evening.
We are now also under a nice little layer of snow and apparently have a couple of so days until our temps go back up again. And H goes back to work today. So I guess it's a pretty stereotypical Monday feeling haha.
We have our last meeting tonight before the big set up and event next week ah!
All in all we had a good spring break and just time to get back into the groove again. I'm still tired from our fun night on Saturday when we had a few friends over haha.
The best part of Monday mornings is it's garbage day. So the kids have spent every moment since getting up hanging out by the window waitin for it to show up. It gives us like half an hour of prime solo getting ready for the day time (or an extra 15 minutes to lay in bed hehe)
We had a busy, but good weekend. I need to try to get S in to the doctor this week to discuss the milk intolerance/allergy. She did great with the elimination (except breakfast...she was not pleased with water) She went from her normal 4-5 poopy diapers a day to 1-2 by yesterday.
H too budders!! He goes till the last day of June. Once the calendar flips to May it's such a good feeling. Good luck with your last stretch!
Our garbage truck is here usually in the 7:00 range and today it was closer to 7:30. I casually mentioned "oh it's a little later today isn't it?" to the kids as they waited by the window and DS goes "it's just running a little behind. It had to come from Saskatoon." Like give the guy a break mom it's Monday 😂 He also just discovered they come out of the city so it's like his new piece of information he has to share with everyone.
This weekend was mostly uneventful, but nice. We cleared out the 2 bedrooms where floor is being refinished and most of the dining and family room area. Tomorrow we'll move the couch into our room and any other little odds and ends so they can start sanding on Wednesday. Then we're heading to LA Thursday after work for Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm (there's a car show there that my H wants to go to).
LO had a vocab explosion over the weekend. DS was speech delayed so LO just amazes me sometimes! His new thing is to put "now" on the end of all his sentences. He came into my room yesterday morning holding his new balloon and he said "I have a big balloon now!" So adorable.
DS' school has a "family fun day" today. The note explained there would be a bounce house and face paint and a petting farm. I was assuming it was like a mini ice cream social where everyone would be hanging around outside. Right? So I mentioned it to his teacher this morning and she said "oh, you mean the petting farm? Yeah, we will take kids outside in groups, it's really fun. You're totally welcome to come and bring LO." Now I'm just scratching my head a little and don't know what to expect.

Saturday night the moms took the kids to a playground in the complex while the dads stayed back at the house. We each called our husbands to bring out refills of beer, water, and a bandaid and none of them answered their phones. I left DH a message to call back because LBB had fallen out of the play structure and there was blood everywhere and LBB pretended to cry. Nothing. We ended up sending one of the kids over to get the dads.
DH called me while I was driving to work freaking out because he JUST got the message.

Ugh. Just so much what the fuck. This passive aggressive bullying is horse shit. Way to take what people write and twist it around. It's disgusting.
@hazeldublin, you are so off and I can't even respond to the crap you wrote. Especially toward someone who is a great mom and gives so many people support. Mean girls at its finest.
I don't think you understand what "troll" or "passive aggressive actually means?
Straight up. If someone came in saying that their husband did that to them, every single person in here would come out guns blazing over that bullshit. I seriously often wonder if BH is the one trolling with her condescending bullshit. I try to just ignore it now but JFC holli you can't even fight your own fights but you'll fight hers?
Yea, but I don't see any other than the usual suspects jumping in and saying condescending shit. Always the same people. I wonder why?
And yea, maybe I haven't been able to fight my own fights because I feel intimidated, but I feel strongly that these responses are borderline bullying at this point.

Are you actually joking here? How am I off? She literally wrote that the husbands didn't answer the phones to get beer and water refills and a band aid. Then she wrote that she left a message saying there was blood everywhere and there was fake crying.
How the fuck is that mean girls?
While we are talking mean girls why does billyhorrible completely ignore me? Like completely? No congratulations on the birth of your baby, no I'm sorry your dad died, no nothing? But I'm mean because I think joking about a child being seriously injured is out of line? I'm asking you because you are clearly the spokesperson now!
Maybe they didn't answer their phones, because they had no service? I think that's what happens when you get a text message a day or so later. The kid had a scrape, they were making a joke. It's all too easy to take something and twist it into something it's not.
And about the ignoring, I'm not going to speak for her. I was just upsetting to me that it's constant snide comments or gifs or whatever have you.

So hate me if you want, I don't care.
How the fuck is the bullying? Are you actually serious? BH said something ridiculously fucked up and @jemomma responsed.
I am genuinely curious how you would have reacted if your husband did that to you? Do you really think that was funny?
If it was a one time thing, ok, maybe she had feels about it.
It's a perpetual pattern. No activity for a while, and then you just jump in to make someone feel like shit. For god sakes, they didn't hear the fucking phone if the text went through a day later. It's not rocket science.

The point is that you wouldn't do that in the first place. Because it's not funny.
I don't think it warranted that kind of response. They needed a band aid. He wouldn't have freaked out if the message had gone through normally.

Your side stepping what I wrote. It was so much of a joke the poor man got a terrible fright.
No, you're side stepping what I wrote. The same people constantly jumping in to make other people feel bad. Reading into shit when there's nothing to read into.

I actually don't engage with BH because she completely blanks me. So what has your point got to do with me? My post was about her leaving that message. Why are you addressing the serious nature of that? So that's how I think you are side stepping my post to you. I have no idea why you are trying to turn it round on me. I asked you about her ignoring me, you won't answer. Fair enough. billyhorrible throws out the most random accusations, like telling me I wasn't active when we were pregnant. (Not true, she actually was so inspired by one of my HDBD pics she did the same herself and tagged me.) she seems to live for this bait and wait game. She picks and chooses her baby pics to like by which posters she likes. Which is so insulting really, and time consuming. When I first noticed she did it to me I still Ltd her pics because I'm not 5. But now I just totally blank her as much as possible because it's so fucking stupid.
Maybe you can explain this?
If you have questions about why she ignores you, you should ask her.
I don't think there was anything serious about her comment. It was a joke. And, some people are blowing it out of proportion because of the poster that posted it. If you posted it, or @scoop, trust me, you wouldn't get the same response from @jemomma. And, that's a fact.
