I have an AF update. Just got it. CD 40. I wish I had known sooner because I wasted a pee stick.
We're getting a tux for DH today and then he and B are having their daddy date. I'm hopeful that they'll be gone long enough for me to clean. Last week they weren't.
We woke up to freezing rain. DS1 is at hockey now then we are back to painting/working on the house. I want to try to get to the mall because I have New York and company coupons expiring and I desperately need pants that fit.
I have workshops at work tomorrow but DH and the kids are off. Tomorrow night I'm going to a fundraiser where you drink wine and an artist teaches you to paint a picture. My kids are so excited that I'm painting a picture for our new house but I totally suck at art. Sometimes I help DD draw stuff and no one can tell she didn't do it herself. I'm just excited for a night out!
Is anyone else in the club "my kid has never slept through the night?" In addition to T being up 3 times every night, DD is now afraid of her new room and is up too.
I don't think we have much on the agenda today. B is currently removing every. single. toy. from his toy chest while I drink my coffee. I am letting DH sleep in since he got up with B a couple times last night. DH has tomorrow off, as well. We really need to be productive with our time...I complain all week about how I want to "make progress!" with the house, but then we end up being bums when we DO have the free time.
Random: Has anyone ever used chalk paint (Amy Howard, Annie Sloan, etc)?? I am contemplating it for a project or two. LMK if you have, and how things turned out.
finnaroo twins! That is exactly how long my last cycle was. Sorry you wasted that pee stick, I hope next time you use one it comes up with a different result. The brewery was good. They have "Idaho nachos" which is waffle fries with cheese, bacon bits, tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream. It's so good..
leopardgurl831 thanks! I am thinking more of the chalk-paint that's used for furniture and smaller things. Supposedly you can use it w/o sanding/priming/etc and it gives kind of a distressed look. Sounds too good to be true!
Neither DH nor I got much sleep last night. We brought Han into our bed at some point and she was moving all over the place. I ended up with her skull to my right cheek bone and dang that hurt. But of course DH volunteered to help his friend with something so no sleeping in for me. I'm hoping for a nap later today.

finnaroo sorry about the wasted pee stick. Those things are expensive!!!
tjhine Ry does the nipple grab to when we nurse at night and it drives me crazy!
kim22 Ry has only sttn a handful of times. He's going longer stretches, but without fail he is up between 3 and 4 every morning wanting to nurse and come into our bed. I know I need to break the habit, but it's just so much easier to bring him in!
Cherhorowitz yuck to a hangover, but worth it for a hot date night, right?
leopardgurl831 Tapatalk keeps eating mine too! I posted like two separate things yesterday and they disappeared!
I started my period. Again. It just ended like five days ago. I think it is time to get off the mini pill. Does anyone know can I go back on regular bc if ry is still nursing but only once or twice a day? Anyway, AF is making me irrational and crazy. I got ridiculously mad at my DH last night because he fell asleep on the couch while we were watching our show. Like, almost to the point of tears. It went something like this, "Just go to bed, because if you can't even stay awake to watch our show with me you obviously just don't even care about me!" Luckily DH is a saint and is laughing about it this morning.
I don't know what we are up to today. I'm so excited to have two full days with DH home. We're talking about going out to the lake and packing a picnic lunch and letting the boys fish, or maybe a movie or the children's museum. I'm also going to make DH do day 9 of BBM with me!

xolastunicornxo . Does anyone know can I go back on regular bc if ry is still nursing but only once or twice a day?
I don't know but let me know if you find out. I'm in the same boat. No pp period yet and I was going to stay on the mini pill but I'm getting nervous about it. I had to take it 6 hours late the other day when DD was in the hospital because I didn't have it with me.

I've used it before--I sprayed the inside of old silver trays, Easter eggs, the top of a table for my classroom. We are considering a wall in the kitchen-- sort of like a command center. leopardgurl831, I'd love to see it, too.
Hope all the PMSing mommies take it easy and feel better soon!
It's been pouring all day today. E's nose is constantly running down her face and her cheeks are so chapped. I think I've already put Lansinoh and Aquaphor on 100 times. And shes wheezing. DH is starting to work on our bedroom so we can paint and I'm doing laundry and cleaning. #weareold
lfigge 's walk sounded really good and then I remembered the weather is terrible here. It's so miserable the greater Seattle area is panicked that they will lose power during the game today.
Just more trips to storage today to continue organizing. Atticus is in better spirits lately so that's been nice. He wants to hug and kiss me all the time, which is really sweet, but he also doesn't want me to put him down at all.
I talked to Pete again about my mom coming back and he has more reservations than he initially told me, so that is out for now. I'm disappointed but it's better we kept talking about it before anything got moving in that direction.
He wants to go take a look at an investment property this afternoon so we might do that. Lazy day.
@lizinfl I remember reading a while back that Young House Love used chalk pain so I searched their site and from what they said it's not much faster than regular paint. Here's a link to the post.
Hugs Sing. C pretty much self-weaned at the end and I had such mixed feelings. I'm now pretty happy to be done with it bit word have liked a more conscious end.
Sorry cagoldi. I'm assuming that you at least are understanding of Pete's additional reservations?
Hey ladies! This is going to be a DD. Lots of shit going on in DH's family. I've been really down about it. My stepfather in law, who we are really close with, was having an affair this summer and my mil found out. It wasn't clear if it was more emotional or physical but after spending 6 weeks apart he swore up and down he was an idiot and wanted to make it work. So she went back to him. Well, the "girl's" husband figured out it was still going on and tapped her phone to record them. So my MIL received a file last week with 3 hours of recordings of their recent disgusting conversations. We are all devastated by this. I mean, my MIL catered to him completely. It was almost nauseating. We all loved him and to do this not once but twice, and break all of our hearts is just so disappointing. Ugh. I mean the shit he said in those recordings...***shudder*** there is no coming back from it. Tl;dr douchebag FIL found cheating through recordings.

Hi , I just downloaded the tapa app and am trying to figure it all out and get used to this new world we've entered!
Currently waiting for DH to return with a pizza and B is napping! I got a whole 4 hours of sleep last night so it's going to be a lazy day!
But it was worth it, DH's holiday party at Smith & Wollinskys, amazing food, and so much wine, I may have hugged our DCP when she left- she babysat for us, hope that's not awkward on Tuesday!

keight38 I'm sorry. That's just a horrible situation.
tjhinefinnaroo the nipple pulling, twisting, pinching... yup here, too. I feel my blood pressure raise. It makes me want to quit nursing so bad.
Missed the last few stairs this morning. Didn't fall but stumbled badly into a fence. I'm hurting something fierce as is with my sciatic pain, now this?

I went back on the regular pill in December and we are still nursing once or twice a day. From what I understand, the hormones can transfer through breastmilk but my OB had wanted to switch me at 6m when I was breastfeeding and I wanted to hold off until I finished pumping since it can hurt supply. I didn't notice a drop but probably worked in my favor since it coincided with me dropping the pump. I do worry a little bit, but I guess not enough to go back to the mini-pill. I am bitter that my skin is somehow worse though, I was hoping it would help regulate my skin like it used it.
