It's not even 5 am and I'd like a nap, please. Just rocked DS to sleep from a MOTN wake up but he's dreaming about nursing (I see that jaw, kiddo!) So I'm afraid laying him down isn't going to work.
I'm going back to work today. I'm NOT looking forward to it. I still haven't lost all the pregnancy weight & look like a damn sausage stuffed into a suit. It blows. Silver lining? It's only for a week, then it's more knee surgeries & I'm off again. My parents are still here, so they will watch DS the next two days. However, my old nanny, who told me 3 weeks ago shed watch DS Monday - Wednesday completely flaked out. I'm BEYOND pissed. We have no one to watch DS. Ugh.
I need to get on my gif game. Sorry about your childcare issues! I would be pissed too. Also haven't lost the baby weight and not happy with my clothing situation at the moment!
How do you tag people in your posts?
I am taking two of my third graders (now fourth graders) to the city library today. I teach ell students in the inner city so their home lives are rough, it makes me so sad especially now that I have dd. One of my students came from Puerto Rico last year and we kept her back in third grade again because she was only 7 and should have been placed in second grade. She came to me speaking no English and now speaks in full, complete sentences and has moved up 10 reading levels. I am so excited to see my little buddies!!
emilyz320 what lilyelayne said except a many of the ladies on here have changed their screen names (the one you see when you are posting) and you have to use their username to tag them. If your tag doesn't work click on the avatar of the person you want to tag and see what their username is.
toadandbuggie it's fairly slow we need more posters. We were trying to do a monthly book but there weren't enough posters to have a good conversation.
I have weekly threads I try to post to get people talking but it seems to be more hit and miss.
Would you do a read along? They have books for July and August.
I was thinking of trying buddy reads (you and a partner choose a book to read together and have weekly discussions) or lottery reads where all those interested sign up and give a name of a book and then we randomly put pair people and a book.
DD woke up around 6:20 this morning, talking to herself. Well, unless she's crying, I try to leave her until at least 7 so that her feeding schedule isn't too off. (Also, what makes a baby sleep in until 8 for a few days, then start getting up at 6:30? UGH) So I left her, then right before 7 she fell asleep. So this momma is having an uninterrupted breakfast while watching DD on the monitor.

I am a member of the haven't lost all the baby weight yet and look ridiculous in my real clothes club. I'm giving myself the rest of the summer before I start buying new clothes. Yoga pants are just fine for the summer (don't tell my mom that).
My older sister has been nothing but supportive and wonderful to me, H, and DD. Her and her husband have been married 7 years and have two wonderful little girls, 5 and 2 1/2.
In the past year and a half her husband (who has always been a great provider allowing her to be a SAHM) got a new job. Part of the new job is extensive travel. All she does is complain and whine about being alone with the girls. In the beginning... I consoled her and asked what I could do. Catered my own schedule to visit her/host her and the girls, broke plans with my mom so we could both go hang with her.
I'm getting tired of it. I was supposed to go out on a relaxing lunch with my mom and DD today. I purposely made plans with my sister tomorrow so she wouldn't try to butt in on my day with my mom and DD. it's not so relaxing when I have to help look after her 5 and 2 year old. Long story short she invited herself to our lunch. It's really not that big of a deal... But my DD deserves one on one time with her Grandma, too. I make the drive to my mom's so I can get a 'break' not help watch my (beautiful) screaming nieces and my own kid.
My mom and I both have encouraged her to a) get help with the girls (they can more than afford a couple hours help for her everyday while he is traveling) b) join the pool around the corner c) take them to the library d) enroll the 5 year old in a day camp ... I can go on and on. She needs to be proactive in finding things for her girls to do and stop piggybacking my plans! I am done with her woe is me bit.
That was really long. If you read all that you deserve a cookie

Mom2Ms Good luck at work! dacora Enjoy the morning quiet time! mrsclark731 I'm sorry about things with your sister. I'm guessing talking about it with her could bring repercussions?
I accidentally nicked DD this morning with the nail clippers. I felt terrible even though she barely cried. On the bright side though, kissing it did seem to make it better. I've acquired the magic mommy powers!
Are any of you that cloth diaper in canada? I got a gift card as a refund for nbb. Unfortunately I only bought there because I had a cheap shipping code. The shipping is too expensive ordinarily for me to order from them. I can send you the code to see if you can use. It's 5.90 cad
Well after her first sttn LO was up three times last night and up for the day before 6. At that point I just brought her into the bed with me so I could get more sleep.
Brady woke up at 3:30 and just now. I can handle that.
I'm heading to lunch with some girlfriends today. One has just separated from her husband of almost 20 years. My heart hurts for her. Her husband retired from the Air Force where he was a pilot and base commander. The transition to civilian life was rough and destroyed their marriage. We are trying to get her out of the house. Hopefully she will have fun today.
mrsclark731, that's frustrating. Some people just prefer to complain rather than do something about it. Maybe you could have a day with sister and kids, then have an impromptu day with your mom the following day.
