I escaped all 4 men and am enjoying a bath. I might stay here for an hour. I love my step sons but it's very difficult when they ignore everything I say. And a grumpy husband isn't helping.

That sucks. I'm sure it's a hard place to be in. Do they listen to their dad?
I have all-day in-office training this coming week for my part-time from-home job, and I keep having stupid dreams about me abandoning DD or leaving her with strangers. I don't know if it's crazy ass pregnancy hormones or my residual ppa, but it really sucks. DD will be with DH all next week while he works from home, so LOGICALLY I have nothing to worry about. But I guess reality has no bearing on my subconscious!

Thanks ladies for the replies and birthday wishes! After taking the advice and sleeping/thinking about it I think jnnfrrose6 Is right. It's a little bigger than I'm used to, but as she gets older I'm guessing I won't want to lug her diaper bag everywhere, and this is big enough that I can throw in a few things that I need for her. I think I was feeling a little guilty at the cost, too, so that was making me feel I should go cheaper/smaller.

I got my first order from Zulily in. So far I'm really pleased with what I got, except one of the 12-18 month dresses seriously looks like it should be for a three year old! I guess I'll pack it away for who knows when. Ha.
My birthday is tomorrow and DH surprised me with a really nice handbag from a brand that I drool over sometimes. I feel horrible because I'm not sure I love it, and I feel like to spend that kind of $$ on something I need to love it. It's a lot bigger than I usually carry and I'm afraid that it will just end up sitting in my closet. I feel so guilty that I think I'm going to have to ask him to return it (by mail since we don't have the stores in my city) and pick out one together that I will actually use. I'm sitting here staring at it trying to talk myself into keeping it and that I will want to use it all the time but I'm just not convinced that's the case. Pretty sure I'm going to make DH feel bad.
And the love tit because your DH surprised you, not cause you're going to make him feel bad.

I bought a little reindeer hat for LO from zulily. It was soooo cute! They have some cool stuff there.
I know, I'm ready for bed now. Last night I passed out on the couch around 8, slept there until 1am, went to bed and woke up at 7 this morning. Soooo tired. I don't know how I'm going to handle all this when I get back to work!
Seriously... I don't know how I will function when I go back to work. I give so much credit to the moms who are back at work.
1. Work is interfering with my J'14 reading. There is always so much to catch up on & read after my shift. 2. DS has had a clogged tear duct since birth. We massage the inner corner of his eye per our pediatrician, and sometimes it clears up and drains, but then ends up getting infected again and we have to use the erythromycin ointment. They said if it's not draining on its own by a year he will need surgery. Just wondering if anyone else's LO's still have problems with clogged tear ducts?

My DS had one. It never got better and he kept getting an eye infection every month or two. We did everything they recommended, but it didn't clear. At 10m we made the call to do surgery for it, and he had it done. It was quick, but they had to put him under which is always scary. It worked though and he has never had an issue since. With most babies it does clear itself by 1 year though.

My glasses broke this afternoon (one of the screws came out). I've got my contacts until I can get around to getting them fixed, but I keep going to try and push them up on my nose and they aren't there. I've heard of phantom limbs for people who've had amputations, but this is ridiculous.

Sometimes. We are still dealing with the adhd of the older boy. It's a struggle for me. Sometimes I feel like an insta-mom that does so much for them and then gets no recognition because I'm not their "real mom". I think I let it stress me out more than it needs to and let things get to me.

I do the same thing when I put my contacts back in!

DH attempted to fix my desktop computer by switching my hard drive into another tower. The end result, it was still slow and now the fan was making such a loud noise. He also dropped a headband of mine in the toilet and didn't realize he did it, so he was laughing at me as if it was my fault until I made him realize he was the one who did it. Argument ensued, he said he was going to to the store.
1 hour later, guess who comes home with a new computer for me because he felt bad.
Happy early Mother's Day to meeeee! ... but I tried to make him return it and then I gave in.

First trip to the ER is in the books for us. I slipped on the stairs carrying DD. I should know better than to wear socks on our wood stairs... luckily I took the brunt of the fall. LO did not have so much as a scratch, but we took her in to get checked out just to be sure. We are both A OK, I just have some serious bruises on my elbows and my back.

Thanks ladies! It was very scary and DH kept having to tell me to calm down. I am just relieved that DD is fine. I can handle the bruises and soreness with the help of Ibuprofen.
