Ides of March day (Thursday Post)

[dreemkin]

Some March 15th humor for you:

Beware the Ides of March 🔪

Hopefully today doesn't need a warning. I was invited to go out to lunch today but now N is saying her throat hurts so we are gonna stay home and rest at least one more day. Plus I have a corned beef in the slow cooker for dinner!!! Decided to do it today instead of St Patrick's day since we are low on groceries haha.

dmorgendorffer happy anniversary! Enjoy dinner!

[dreemkin]

Ps: I hope this board sticks around - the handful of us have become so close. If we have to move one more time I may scream! If that's the case I will find you over there and maybe we can start a facebook group or email group. I don't think you are creepy "Mr. Sally" (as my family calls it) catfishers after all this time - mishka29 and I were on two boards for both our girls. That's about 6 years dang!

Hey guess what I’m doing... packing... laundry...

I don’t know what DH was attempting to do in the guest room but I would have to do loads of rearranging to even get to the box I was packing our office stuff in. So I’m doing the kitchen instead. I finished cleaning the kitchen drawers & cabinets at the new place yesterday!

If in the future we make it a fbook group can we call it the Mr Sallys dreemkin?

Happy anniversary dmorgendorffer!

Also I’m kind of amused that admin popping by to say the board is safe made us recheck our back up plans if the board disappears...

I know right haha...no news is BETTER news. Hehe. And yes Mr. Sally would be awesome!

Thanks for the anniversary wishes. I wonder if its some kind of bad luck that we got married on the Ides of March. DH and I have not been very romantic with each other lately so it will be nice to have an evening out. I'm always nervous about having someone else put the kids to bed but they'll survive. J still nurses to sleep at night which I feel like I should stop soon but its just so easy. Hopefully she doesn't give my MIL any trouble.

I got a 404 when I tried to check the site earlier this week and got a little nervous that it was gone so I guess its reassuring to hear the site isn't going anywhere. My May 17 group completely fell apart with the move - I'm so glad F15 has been able to keep going!

Hahahahahaahahahah another group one of the posters said pour one out for Cesar and I didn't get it until I saw this thread. Doh!


We are feeling normal around here. Praise. The. Lord. Still keeping us home bound to be nice to everyone else but itching to get out. I can't believe how miserable I was yesterday and how fine I feel today. Not complaining though!



dmorgendorffer I hear you on the less romantic feeling. H and I are finally getting our groove back but C made life really tough for us romantically the entire first year. I didn't realize how much so until he and thus we turned that corner. Enjoy your night out! And the kids will be fine.

[dreemkin]

H and I have not been very romantic lately either. We've kind of slipped into a nightly routine that doesn't leave much room for romance before we're exhausted. We need to work on that.

[lilyelayne]

My big move for “hey honey” time these days is managing to not take my phenergan in the evening so I’m actually awake past 9.

But our relationship in general is vastly improved over a few months ago when he was 95% checked out of our marriage, so, that’s good.

I’m still working on not being angry about that though.

I've been wondering about you. Glad things are improving. Praying that as things progress you can find peace and forgiveness and can allow the anger to ebb. Relationships are hard man, and children don't help. Nor does pregnancies! Especially when with HG!

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne I'm glad to hear of the relationship improvement - go you guys! I second what aggiebug said, this adulting stuff is not always easy! T&Ps for continued improvement and "hey honey" time 😉

Dh is always complaining about this. By the time you get through everything that needs to get done in a day there is nothing left in the tank!

Went snowboarding this morning and fell majoringly on front of my GM. No harm other than a bruised hand and pride though, and I actually had a ride up the lift with him and he basically said I'm irreplacable at the company so that helped my pride a bit.

DH and I went on a date tonight to see a local high school production of little shop of horrors. We're been really trying to have more alone time and dates, but it's been a huge uphill climb trying to get back to "normal". With my PPD after A and general exhaustion things have been rough this past year.

I've also listened to the five love languages for children recently, and it made me realise how much I've been avoiding DH's language of touch since A was born. So I've been making a effort for that, even though most days I feel touched out.

dmorgendorffer hope your are having a fun anniversary night!

lilyelayne glad to hear things are improving, and I hope they continue and you can find peace.

[aggiebug]

kartish that is awesome to hear from your boss. Way to feel loved in your job.

I hear you on the touch love language. It is the one that probably runs me dry the most and it's H's number 1, probably S's too actually. I am always some level of touched out and it's hard.

[dmorgendorffer]

"touched out" is a good way to describe it, especially after putting both kids to bed at night - after an hour of nursing and reading snuggles I'm ready to have some time where someone isn't on me.
