Release your rage!

[emilillies]

I was up half the night with LO. She was fussy and wanting to comfort nurse and every single time I put her down, she woke instantly and cried. I have a pounding headache. DH and FIL are laying our new hardwood floor and between the air compressor, saw and nail gun, my head is about to explode. LO is sound asleep in her swing in the next room. How is that even possible???

[isolemnlyswear]

Ugh I was up sick last night DH was super sweet and stayed home this morning so I could sleep in. I'm starting to feel better but ugh....

[luckynumbers81]

We are just starting the sleep training process, but DH will say he is on board and then immediately cave. Our first step is to cut out on the rocking to sleep. I follow it and DD will fuss for no more than 10 minutes before falling asleep. If DH is on baby duty then he immediately picks her up, rocks her and then lets her sleep on him in the recliner for several hours. Blergh! This is undoing any progress I make. When I ask him about it he says that he is just too tired when he gets up in the middle of the night and can't help it. Yeah, I get way less sleep than him and somehow I manage. He had NO problem with sleep training DS, not sure what's going on here...

My poor baby has a cold, ear infection and is teething. Sleep is rare. His eating sucks. I just want my healthy baby back!

I used to get a lot of nosebleeds when I was pregnant and for some reason I'm still getting them almost daily. I got blood all over one of my new bath towels today because I got a nosebleed in the shower and didn't realize it.

I'm really getting tired of my hair falling out. There is hair everywhere and it's driving me crazy. When will it stop?!? I don't even know how I have any left.

This is me too. It's so gross and it gets into and onto everything. I've pulled a few from Spencer's mouth over the last few weeks, and the amount that falls out in the shower is nasty. Our drain is clogged with my hair. Wet hair is gross.

DD slept so good last week so I figured it was just the schedule I had her on and not my diet. So I ate a ton of cheese this weekend. She still went down just fine (thanks to the schedule), but she sure did wake up with horrible gas in the middle of the night which means no sleep after that for me. Poor thing. I felt awful. And poor me because no more cheese, again.

I'm starting to hate having to go to work. I wish I could spent more time with DD and have time to actually get things done in my house. We had friends over yesterday and DH's guy friend makes enough so his girlfriend with no kids gets to work part time in a lower paying job that she loves. It put me in a bad mood, which is stupid, but I haven't been able to snap out of it.

DS gets it stuck in his fingers. Stupid hair. I hope this doesn't make anyone nauseous but I stick the hair on the side of the shower wall and then remove it as  soon as I'm done showering because cleaning hair out of the drain seriously makes me want to vomit. Wet hair is definitely gross!

I do this as well. Sometimes I forget to clean it out and then add to it during my next shower. Mike HATES it! He gags every time he sees it. 
I am seriously dreading cleaning out the drain. *gag*

[ladytiffany24]

I'm starving and don't want to eat the pathetic Lean Cuisine meal I packed for lunch. I mean, who created those portions anyway?!?!

Speaking of hair falling out... Look at the giant hunk of hair DS pulled out of my head last night!!! Ouch!



edit: sorry about the HUGE picture.. I have no idea how to fix that!

Bummer about the cheese!

I feel the same way about working. I like my job, and would love to work part time, but it's hard to not have ANY time at all between work and baby stuff. I get jealous of friends who can stay home, and also friends with different situations (like switching to formula, even though I'm totally gung ho about breastfeeding, or having family nearby to babysit). Having a baby and working full time is just hard!

My nanny brought her son today since his day care was closed which is normally more than fine but he is out there hacking is brains out around my girls... I would have rather she just taken the day off.

[sararl07]

I procrastinated once again, and I had to stay up all night finishing writing a proposal and report for the CEO.  In my sleepy state I walked down the stairs in my socks and some how slipped down half the stairs.  No my back and neck hurt and I'm tired....going to bed early tonight

I just sneezed and peed my pants.

Parents who give play-by-plays and share photos of potty training on Facebook. Just stop. I know your kid is all cute and little, but would you want a picture of yourself on the toilet posted on the Internet?

SIL just told us she is pregnant with her 4th end of August/beg of Sept (not a planned pregnancy) which means there goes our daycare for DD. It makes me so anxious. We've been fortunate to not have to put her with strangers but now we won't have a choice. Thankfully we will still have her until she turns a year, but after that we need to get her in somewhere which means the great daycare search starts.

This is taking me back to 3rd trimester! Memories.

This is taking me back to 2 days before my 40th birthday. Cough, pee. Cough, pee. Stinkin' bladder control...Gone!

[honeybee434]

Ugh!!!!! I got my period!! So not fair. I'm still breastfeeding around the clock.

I know it's Tuesday but my throat is sore and my back hurts. I know, I'm pathetic.

[Deleted]

Thanks. It's not even full-on sore, there's no pain but it's all scratchy and keeps making my voice go bubbly. Any excuse for tea though, tea solves all.

My friend introduced me to tea brewed with copious amounts of cinnamon, honey and ginger and lemon juice. Works every time

I'm not a huge ginger lover but this sounds lush!

Stomach. Flu.

I was off work yesterday and had scheduled for my car windshield to be repaired. LO was supposed to be in daycare for the duration of that. But instead, LO was feeling super sick yesterday (a cold, maybe teething? Who knows) so I didn't take him to daycare. DH was home yesterday too, but of course when the windshield guy came he wasn't anywhere to be found so I had to schlep myself outside with a clingy, miserable baby. At least my windshield is all fixed up now.

And LO wanted to nurse so much yesterday that my nipples are sore. It was like having a newborn all over again. 45 minute long nursing sessions all. day. long. My boobs are ridiculously glad I'm at work today.

I am missing some jewelry from my move this weekend. They said that they had padded it and stuck in a drawer in the dresser. I tore my dresser apart and it's nowhere to be found. It wasn't jewelry that I'd be devastated if I lost it, but still. Fucked up.

Thats messed up, but not surprising.  Was the moving company insured? Can you file a claim with them?
