lioness13 Seven Year Switch starts in less than an hour! (I'm DVRing it so I'll watch it during naptime tomorrow) I'm not sure how far I'll make it in the series because the concept skeeves me out but I want to at least see the first one... but it's TWO hours long!
I kind of want to boycott this show so I'm not watching - yet. It sounds ridiculous and the idea of it makes me feel sick. Maybe I'll catch up and get into it later. Tell me what you think after you watch.
Isn't there a marriage Bootcamp or couples counseling or something starting soon?

I'm with you megsw85. I would like DD to talk more but the way I see it, I'll gladly wait for her to have the vocabulary to argue with me all. damn. day. Soccer camp was so awesome last week (he was gone 8 hours a day!) so of course the rest of the summer will be one giant suck because I just can't entertain him like that.
We should start a kindergarten countdown around here!
I usually pride myself on not giving in easily with the kiddos but this baby is making me break my streak. We moved O to his crib a week ago. It has been brutal and only getting worse not better. We are averaging 6+ wake ups a night. And he has started busting out of every swaddle. And he doesn't go to sleep until 10. I don't want to go backwards but neither my H or I can handle that level of sleep deprivation. I'm not sure whether we are experiencing the 4 month sleep regression or what but it's killing me. My H and I are at each other' throats, I'm still adjusting to being back at work and I have no patience left for anything. He is going back in the RNP for now and we will try again in a few weeks.
Do you think if O stayed swaddled it would help? Because we found the double swaddled with two receiving blankets is the only thing that worked for G. G got out of everything but the double blanket method (it is GENIUS) and once we found that our wake ups dropped dramatically! I seriously owe the engineer dad from YouTube a blow job or something for that trick.

pitchslap even better! Cheers! Countdown to Thursday? I was so mean tonight, I didn't answer the phone when he called because he called at bedtime and that meant it was like 1:30 am there. Funk that, you're out having fun then you want to mess up bedtime dude? He got a reply text message to that effect. I did tell him k hoped he had a nice day in Florence so I wasnt a total bitch.
Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh. Venty venty post. MH is so frustrating sometimes. Legit work stress is coming home with him. He's in a rotten mood all the time and subconsciously thinks accomplishing house tasks will make up the difference for being stuck in a work situation. I begged for a date night for us to reconnect but he says he won't be able to relax because he will be worrying about all the things he should be getting done right now. I've started going out with my friends and by myself here and there so I can get breaks. But that doesn't fix us. Meanwhile, I'm extra cranky because N gets up at 5 every single morning.
The first year is about survival....
((Hugs)) I can totally relate to the DH and sucky work situation and needing to connect. I hope you get that soon and get some sleep soon. You will survive this! I like to have a theme song when I'm going through tough shit. Maybe his could be yours.
thatblondie hang in there! My first "survival" year with #2 was closer to 18 hard months. And I know all about the stressful work situation, and there isn't much you can even do about that. That's tbe hardest part, you can't even feel helpful when a Bad job situation is what the problem is. It will get better, it's just a phase. Not the job part but the time for each other and sleeplessness at least.
pitchslap DH had brought up that Perugia is known for their chocolate and has a chocolate festival a minimum of 50'times. Fortunately I'm not a huge chocolate nut. But he knows not to mention wine at all or he's dead.

DH is out of town so MIL and I were planning the perfect girls' evening trifecta of ice cream + wine + Pitch Perfect but the sucky internet here wouldn't cooperate in that last part. More ice cream and wine tomorrow night so we can complete the trifecta!
anustart1, has he at least refrained from actually complaining about being in ITALY? Your day sounds really, really horrible. I hope that's the worst of it. And I hear you on the "Hey, I don't even need you!"
thatblondie, I hope Mr. Blondie catches a break at work soon so he can refocus his energies on you. I finally got to talk to H today about how I feel like the least important thing and pretty much all he got out of it was that everything would be better when M sleeps through the night...
2 weeks ago I was doing totally solo bedtimes, and I literally cannot remember what I did or how I did it. Amnesia? Was it really that traumatic? MIL is back, so she was helping me out tonight, but it's unsettling that I cannot remember a routine from TWO weeks ago.
subliminalrabbit, are you up for CAH tonight? I don't know what's involved, and I should DEFINITELY be sleeping, but I'm intrigued.

vitafelix he hasn't complained once which is good. He's said its been really cool and an amazing experience and since he has an all access press pass he's been front row at the best shows. The only thing he's seemed sad about is missing us, which I'm sure is true. He's a homebody. The only time he kind of pissed me off was when he told me on Friday he was done with all scheduled assignments so he was just hanging out now until Wednesday (then he has a night in Munich on the way home). He was all like "I kind of want to try and switch my flight now." But I think he knows it's not even possible and just wanted to sound like he wanted to come back earlier. And I wouldn't want him to do that now that he's there since he's never been. Also, just don't tell me that if it's not happening!

I think this is adorable. Sorry that the movie wouldn't work, and hope it works tomorrow!
