Back in the good old USA! Hugs and high fives to all who need them. I will try and catch up this week. DH and I spent the whole week bickering and it probably being my fault as I was PMSing and building up jealousy about him leaving tomorrow for Italy for 2 weeks. The weather was beautiful but I was such a bitch. Ugh I hate when I know that is the problem. I think I may need to go back on the pill because I feel like a total nut job 10 days a cycle. Anywho, hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend!
So my brother and my H have the same first name. While we were on vacation, O would sometimes get confused when I would talk to H and call him his name and my brother wasn't there. "E not here." It made me realize she doesn't know our names at all. Do your LO's know your first names or just mommy/daddy?
Just Mommy and Daddy. Although he'll call DH hunny
Canadians: why aren't Tim Bits called Tiny Tims? This seems like the more obvious adorable name for them. I felt like I failed the boys as a Buffalonian when I called them munchkins so they knew what I was ordering.

Because they are made from the the bits left over from the big donuts
Speaking of the names: Colton totally tried for the first time today to call my H Trevor. Travis at this age would call him Trevor he never calls me Meghan.

Oh I get where the name comes from, but Tiny Tims would work just as well. I mean we don't call sausages "innerd scrap tubes" just because.
My friend is getting engaged next month. Her boyfriend is working 80 hour work weeks until then to pay for the 5000 dollar ring that she wants. She knows hes working his tail off for it and doesnt seem to care. In her mind she deserves it. I would never make dh work like crazy for a ring. My engagement ring is simple and nice and i love it because of the sentiment behind it. Dh could afford it and i was happy with what i got. I think its really selfish of her and feel really bad for her boyfriend.
My engagement ring cost $200. DH has asked if I want an upgrade and I've told him numerous times I don't need one. I would rather use the money for fun stuff or saving for something we need.

A knows both our names but can say H's name more clearly than mine. It's funny on weekends when A and I are downstairs while H sleeps in and I make breakfast. I'll go to the bottom of the stairs and call H to come down and she'll repeat.

I swear dads have it so good. H is asleep in his lazy boy....sure I'll entertain our kid while doing loads of laundry, straightening up our house now that guests have left, picking up toys everywhere....you go ahead and sleep H. Doing nothing is exhausting for him

Id wake him. Just say "i need you to watch her while i do this and this and this and this".

That's really disrespectful of her. You get what you get and you don't get upset. Please keep us updated on her wedding plans. I'm sure they will be very low-key.

Yes. I taught her. She caught on to Dh's first name because I yell it often. She didn't know my name so I taught her. Now I ask "what's mommy's name" and "what's daddy's name" and she will respond with our first and last name. She responds with her first and last name when asked so I taught her our whole names to keep it consistent. It's seriously adorable. But she doesn't call us by our names, just mommy and daddy.
Funny thing, she calls all men daddies. Like when she sees man in a book she will point and say "that's a daddy right there." But she calls women girls lately but sometimes she calls them mommies too.
We had a great 4th! After the rain went away we went to a friend's house for a cookout. They have twins a few months older and KJ always has fun with them. DH slept since he was worn out from the race he did in the morning so I took my mom. When we got back we out KJ to bed and went out with some friends. Found out that the couple whose wedding I went to in April are expecting! So excited for them! I drank a shot called a breakfast shot that includes bacon and is delicious. I also had 2 Texas margaritas. They were yummy!

Pretty much the same thing with J except i didnt teach him our last name yet.
Please don't be friends with this woman, unless you realize you only want to hear the drama she creates. That is a toxic, terrible woman right there. #imjudginghernotyou
pitchslap Your a great mom! I think with what you're telling her K should be fine after your MIL's thoughtless comment. Hope she learns to keep her mouth shut.

On the topic of names, I just figured out that K has been calling me by my name sometimes. She kept saying "oh Doo Dah!" in kind of an exasperated voice and I had no idea what she was saying to me. Then I figured out its her way of saying my name (she can't make an S sound yet) and she says it the exact same way my H does when I do something that drives him batty
