It's Sunday spam time

Who partied like it was 1999?

[aggiebug]

Morning. The fog here was super thick last night which means the fireworks were awful. After the first 2 the smoke was so thick you could see anything. There are calling them fogworks Haha.

We got DD to sleep before they started and she didn't wake up through it all so I guess we got lucky.

No drunken debauchery here ha. H was totally crazy though and had 2 alcoholic beverages. It got crazy in this house!

Banana pudding is a legitimate breakfast right?

[aggiebug]

@holachica I was excited because DD slept until 5:45 this morning. I can't complain because she STTN but those 5am wake-up are still rough. I hope LO falls back asleep for you.

Yay for baptisms!!

DS is still alseep....going on 12 hours. This is weird for him. I have a feeling he is starting to teethe, he might just be worn out.
Today I need to clean my house. It's so bad. And I am setting a personal goal to get my trophy by the end of July... So I have some work to do.

That is less than 10 posts a day you got this.

[miniwheat]

aggiebug, you are right. I just have to pace myself. I am 4 down and 6 to go for my daily minimum. And the baby isn't even awake yet!

[mishka29]

Yesterday we attended a birthday party for a boy in the neighbourhood. A few other close neighbour friends were invited but couldn't make it. So just like last year when everyone bailed it was us attending the big Greek family birthday. Slightly awkward.

@holachica, good luck today! Take lots of pics

Posted to quick...

Update on the potty training...looks like I was too quick to poo poo (pun intended) all over the 3 day method. We're a week in now and we've had 4 dry days in a row. She let's you know when she has to go and is doing awesome! So proud of my monkey.

Lol just now she said I go pee, pause Dora.

Hoping to go swimming today at a public pool today. We have done lessons but never a dropin so I hope it's not packed.

LO has done 2 nights in a row of 1 wakeup. I hope things are back to normal.

[pitdigger]

Date night was awesome! G was reasonably good for the babysitter (napped, then woke up and needed entertaining and probably feeding and got the former, but not quite the latter). Additionally, the USCGC Eagle is in port in town this weekend, so we went on board for a tour and picked up some bath toys for G.

We were able to see one of the fireworks shows from our house, so no need to get sandy or drive to the other end of the island.

I'm going to make some jam today once I pick up a lime and some sugar.

[michelle142]

I stayed up till midnight. Then got woken up at 2, 4 and then at 6 for the day.

I'm tired.

[toadandbuggie]

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great 4th for those of you here in the US!

We had a BBQ at IL's and it was fun.

However, I am now super annoyed at H. He kept wanting to stay later, and I kept reminding him that LO is still going to wake up super early - he does NOT care that we were up late. So he says he'll get up with him. Does he? No.

Grrrr. I'm trying to find a way to be less annoyed and bitchy to him today, but the fact that he slept in Friday, Saturday and now Sunday and I've been up at the crack of dawn each day with LO is really getting to me.

That is a beautiful boat!

We took ds to the fireworks last night. He was so amped up beforehand, running around the beach like a crazy person... then 5 minutes into the show, he fell asleep on my lap and slept right through everything.

He can sleep through fireworks on a beach, but if i step on the squeaky spot in the hallway, he's up right away.

Get him up and pass off the kiddo.

I just want to vent about something that really bothers me and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Last night my Dad cried to me - literally tears - because my sister told him she would be embarrassed for him to meet her fiance's parents. I feel fucking awful. My parents are not those kind of parents that you would be embarrassed to bring around! They are a bit eccentric, but they are nice, funny people. My sister is just an asshole and is more concerned with what everyone else thinks and what it "looks like" to people on the outside.

I want to say something to her but 1) I was already giving her silent treatment because she ditched me on a lunch date SHE asked for 1 hour before we were supposed to meet when it takes me almost an hour to get to the place. Her text? "My apartment is too dirty. Rain check." 2) I just don't think it would do anything other than cause a battle between me and her.

I feel so bad for my dad, who I don't ever remember seeing cry. I'm just depressed over what an asshole my sister is to everyone in our family.

[toadandbuggie]

aggiebug, I really should. But LO is so happy in his playmat right now and I actually don't feel as tired as I should. But we gonna talk bout shit tonight!!!

[missys]

toadandbuggie I am so sorry about your sister's asshole comment. I feel just as protective over my parents and it's even worse coming from their own child. Hugs lady.

I am living proof that keeping a baby up longer does not make them sleep later...why doesn't anyone listen to me?!?

[RedGiant]

DD got up at 5:45 instead of her usual 6:30-7 am. I am extra tired because I didn't get to bed until midnight. But not because we had a fun party, because my 2 yo had a cough attack at 10:30 (found out it is croup) and he could barely breathe/ was gasping for air. Freaked me out! After a frantic call to pedi and DH getting DS back to sleep I stayed up reading about croup until midnight.

I'm going to try to prevent big brother from sharing his cough with little sister, but I'm not confident that is possible.

At least it's only Sunday, so one more day where DH can help out with the kids

[mrsclark731]

Good morning!

I survived the impromptu BBQ 2015. The dynamic of H's family is odd... I have no idea how he made it out of there alive. Don't get me wrong --- they are kind hearted people who would never do anything malicious, but he grew up opposite of the way I did.

A was so well behaved yesterday! She handled all of her visitors very well. She did crash hard at the end and needed her bottle early this morning... But overall she was an angel.

I hope everyone enjoyed the rest of the weekend!

[miniwheat]

mishka29, great news on the potty training!

[mrsclark731]

toadandbuggie, that's sad Is she your younger sister? I'm sure you did the best you could consoling your father.

[hollydfromtn]

I ended up crashing at my mom's last night with DS. we live two hours away and I did not want to be on the road after dark last night for fear of drunk drivers. DS wouldn't go to sleep until close to 11 because of the fireworks and then proceeded to wake up every 2 hours after that. It was a rough night. Currently waiting on everybody else to wake up so we can say bye and hit the road.

Wow that's really harsh. I hope your dad would realize that she's the type of person you described and that this is her issue not his.

My ILs and my parents are very different people but get along great. I know the third time they were meeting I asked my mom to tell dad to avoid talking about dead animals bc it had been a topic that he brought up both times they met before. She got all offended and the topic still came up!

I'd probably get in there and say something. If she's already mad at you.... And besides, it all goes towards the same message: great, you're getting married, very exciting. Now stop being so self centered! I dunno. I'm putting my dad in this scenario, whom I've seen cry maybe once ever. I'd be pissed.

[mrsclark731]

Such a bummer toadandbuggie I hope that someday she stops being so selfish. It sounds like you are doing the best you can with the situation she left you to clean up. If you don't want to get into it with her (which you have every right to do) continue the silent treatment and maybe she'll pull her head out of her ass one day and ask what's wrong. Good luck

[miniwheat]

I am having a major self tanning fail right now.

[lotsofdotts]

miniwheat, I'll take the trophy challenge with you! I am ready for a promotion.

toadandbuggie, I agree that you should wake him up. I usually just take Brady and plop him on DH. Also, I'm sorry about your sister. That is tough to have someone who is so inconsiderate and hurtful.
