Who of you teachers is back to school? everyone now? littlemissmarla what's your situation this year? I remember things were kind of different last year, right?
Today my big kid started kindergarten. I feel like time is just going to go soooo fast from here on out. The baby and toddler days seem long but it was like a minute ago we brought him home. And then DH had me looking at pics of DS2 from just a year ago and it's already getting fuzzy remembering him as a baby and he's only just turned 2! Gah emotions!

I check in everyday, but I don't have much to post. The kids are draining me dry, and we've had a lot of frustration with behavior and such. Now DH had to go to urgent care today, he has bronchitis. I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting for DS's counseling appt. He's already tackled and wrestled a toy from DD2 today, while screaming in her face. So, yeah.
Also I wish our mom group getaway was sooner! I don't know if I can wait a whole year. 😁😜🍷🍾
I wonder if anyone else is down to see Britney is she's still there and that's where we go. I know she doesn't sing shit but I still kinda want to go.
DH and I hate watched part of the VMA's on Sunday and she literally didn't sing a single note. It was so blatant too that I don't know why she even bothered holding a microphone. Not fooling anyone, Britney.
@zerozeroone I probably would be lol. anotherdreamer hugs. Hope your DS appointment goes well.
Move went great! Still lots to do, but we're in a place where we can function for the time being.
DD is not feeling better. She threw up last night (x2) (seems like stomach bug, not reaction to antibiotics), so she's home today with H and explicit BRAT diet instructions (even though H was making her eggs for breakfast). We'll see how today goes.
After several hours at urgent care yesterday we have zofran for after her nighttime dose of antibiotics. She's home with me today, since she threw up during nap time yesterday, and I'm getting tons done at the new place! She seems to be feeling better today!
Baby food is expensive! I wish I could hire someone to make it for me. I did with Q, but i haven't had time with P. I spent $50 on like 14 days worth at target today.
The Cat and Jack stuff is so cute. So is this seasons Genuine Osh Kosh stuff, but holy moly thats expensive too.

Ugh, I don't know if i could sit through another Britney show. She absolutely terrible. I'd much rather spend my $$ on someone I enjoy.
R got sent to the school's office the other day for hitting a boy. His friend scratched the boy. I made him come home and write a sorry note to him. He has also been a real shit after school. I know it's because he is exhausted but he fights sleep like no other. We have gone round and round and I have yelled/cussed more this past week than I have in the past year (hard to believe, I know). I ended up having a crying fit one night and we both held each other and cried afterwards. He kept apologizing for acting ugly and I did the same. It was awful and I felt like a POS. I wish that he didn't have to go to his dads every two days so that we could have consistency with routines. They both come back to me starved and exhausted.
I can't talk to Finkle about it because we got into an UGLY text argument over the weekend. He always drags my family into the verbal abuse and so I decided to drag his mom and deceased father. I was fed up with it. It's been mute city since then. So now I will probably never get to see the school pictures that got sent home with him yesterday. I wonder if I should medicate myself?

I'm so sorry, Bully. All of that sucks more than words can express. You are so strong, and you are the light in the lives of your precious babies. You are an amazingly strong woman and you do not have to be a perfect mom to be a damn good one. Counseling for yourself is never a bad idea, especially if you're feeling like you're at the end of your rope. It's like putting that oxygen mask on yourself first. You're dealing with an inordinately large amount of crap from Finkle, and getting support for yourself would probably be very helpful. All the hugs to you.
This is so true for me right now. I have not responded to texts, emails, calls. I just can't. Especially when it's old friends who don't have kids-- its just hard. I don't even know what to talk about these days. My mind is mush and I'm an introvert so just mustering up the energy for small talk is too much usually. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
bullybutt I just can't even with your ex. He's such a douche. Can you get ahold of the company that did R's school photos and place a second order if he doesn't give you any?
Ugh, I don't know if i could sit through another Britney show. She absolutely terrible. I'd much rather spend my $$ on someone I enjoy.
So the show itself sucks too? I was hoping that even though she doesn't sing the show is still entertaining.
I went to her "Circus" show. She basically just pranced around the stage lip syncing, hardly any dancing. She did do a piss poor lap dance on a dude. I mean, if you want to listen to her CD and see other people do some dancing, then that would be okay. I just can't bring myself to pay for that kind of show though. Her music isnt' that awesome. I would rather see JLo in Vegas.
bullybutt , is he not feeding them properly or putting them to bed? I used to babysit a little boy and I only did so one time at the dad's. There was no routine or consistency and he was a nightmare. He literally had no bedtime with the dad. Loved watching him at his mom's though.
I'm guessing Finkle wouldn't be open to working with you to keep their schedules consistent throughout the week? Like go over what time their meals are, bedtime, etc.
I have hung out with them at his house before and the scenario is this: He sits on the couch surfing FB and the internet while I tend to the kids. He fixes himself his dinner (usually grilled meat/potato/cottage cheese) and then the kids get typically cold hotdogs/yogurt and maybe some fruit. I give the baths. I get them ready for bed while he does his own thing. He lets the kids stay up until HE is ready for bed. We did have a convo about adjusting bedtimes when school started and he said 8-8:30....thats still too late. You can't tell him anything. He is too controlling and chauvinistic.

They have retakes on Sept 30th (but that is also during Finkle's time). I'll throw a conniption fit if I don't get any school pics.
Totally random, but I had a dream that bullybutt , showed up at my house to give me heck about getting a coffee without her. The whole time I was trying to figure out when we were supposed to get coffee together, and also why was she in Canada.
I would love to show up at your door and peruse Canada. Don't care for coffee all that much. Now if you went to get dessert somewhere, then I'd definitely be pissed

Bought new underwear yesterday so I don't potentially ruin my better stuff and because I don't have any that I can wear pads with. Got the Hanes "briefs" for women. Holy crap, these things go practically to my belly button.

I got those for the PP bleeding and I was thrilled to throw them away when that was all over with. I remember you mentioning you like hanky panky underwear so I wanted to share that Nordstrom is having a decent sale. I ordered several pair at $11.98 ea!
That's a great price for hanky panky! Off to check it out.

I'm pretty much wearing that underwear right now. I hate having my pooch/love handles spilling over my underwear, so granny panties it is for the foreseeable future. Yes, I'm the uncoolest 25 yr old I know, too.
Glad you're all set-- I hope that things are not too painful and that you have time to rest and take some personal time.

i still have mine and i wear them to bed sometimes. Mike HATES it.
lea I just saw your murder story on the parenting thread. We had the exact same thing happen where I used to live and now I'm wondering if you're are close to where I lived. Being a total creeper.

We're headed to my parents' cabin tomorrow. Should be nice and not too crazy. DH did invite a friend and his wife, but he's older (his youngest is in college) and he's the CEO of a bank so shouldn't be too much to entertain them. They're only coming for Saturday afternoon/evening. Just finished packing the kids' stuff less the monitors, noise machine, love yous (DS's name for his loveys), and toys/books. Leaving a list for DH to remember since its on him to load up and get the kids from school tomorrow. I'm meeting them at the cabin after work.

I need to go locate both dogs' collars and leashes. I also need to pack for myself so I don't have to do it before 6am in the dark. I have no desire to move from my spot on the sofa.
