Sooo mad right now. Not only did the place I interviewed at lie about the pay rate, they lied about the hours etc. They want basically a Paralegal/Office Organizer for 3 days a week at $13 per hr. Then I get home and DH has decided to "sleep train" DD using CIO (for 30 mins) she was screaming a high pitched scream. I came and he said stop babying her to sleep. She's the spoilest child I've ever seen. Then ask after I changed her cause she was poopy, if she was gonna be like that during our car search this evening cause he can't deal with her crying. I said considering I can't even calm her down now and she won't even nurse. Probably so, I was so mad I just told him to go buy himself. Now he's out looking for a car that supposed to be my car, by himself. (Hes even looking at a particular vehicle that I don't even want, but he's adamant that its meant for "him" to get this SUV cause he keeps seeing it, even after I said I'm NOT feeling it and we are trading in BOTH of my vehicles for this one vehicle) while I try and calm down a over upset angry 5 month old who is trying to sleep and wakes up crying. I need a drink. I think I'm about to cry.
One terrible thing after another. Sorry, mama. Wish I could come pour you that drink.

DS and I are at my parents' house, and Mom wanted DS to nap on her but he won't fall asleep on a person unless he's wrapped. So she says wrap him up! I did my best, it's a sloppy wrap job, but he's sleeping on my mom's chest right now! I think Mom thought babywearing is weird but I'm converting her haha.

We just tried some oatmeal cereal mixed with breast milk and he hated it lol. It was actually cute to watch him scrunch up his little face in disgust. Maybe I'll buy some rice cereal and try again in another week.

I had to go to Khols today to buy DD 12 month onesies. She's growing at a ridiculous rate.
While I was there I picked up our online order of 10 gigantic bath towels for $21 bucks! It was on the front page of slick deals this morning and we needed to replace all of our dog/hot tub towels.

We started DD1 with oatmeal and it was a bust. Rice cereal was much better. GL!
My hair has started falling out in handfuls again. After my trim a couple of weeks ago it slowed down... now just the hair that's come out today is enough to make a small cat.
This needs to stop.
Do you take postnatal vitamin? Maybe some extra vitamin e would help?
mumomma13, not super soft... But not like, horrible. I have them in the dryer now. I'm anticipating them to soften up a bit after a wash.
Report back if you don't care
They aren't super duper quality, but they did soften up when washed. I wouldn't put them in my guest bathroom... But I'm going to use them. Totally worth the $2 bucks each.
I had the most frustrating afternoon. I drove out to the town I grew up in, about 2 hours away, to hang out by my bffs pool. It was really fun but on the way home the traffic was insane. It took me over 2 hours to get halfway home, then I had to pull over and feed dd and wait out a crazy rainstorm. I finally arrived home over 4 hours later. I hate traffic so much!! There's only one major highway to get across MA and it is awful in the summer. End of rant.
Does anyone else's lo whine? Dd is driving me insane!

Thanks ladies. I appreciate it. He tried to make up for it and bring the vehicles he test drove by the house for me to see.. but I still wasn't feeling it. Ugh.
So the method is straight to undies, big praise for everything, no pull ups, night train at the same time, don't ask if they have to pee/poo, remind them to tell you when they have to go, no sitting on the potty waiting for things to happen.
We used the method but did not night train and use pull ups aka big girl undies for sleep time. We stuck to plan of reminders to tell us rather than just sitting on the potty or asking her if she had to go. The idea being to make them responsible for recognizing they need to go. We stick with this as much as possible now but I do slip up sometimes when I see her doing the cues and ask if she has to pee rather than encouraging her to tell me.
We did stickers - 3 stickers and she got a surprise (fun things from the dollar store that could be used to entertain since we couldnt go anywhere). There were also poo poo treats.
Its hard. Really hard. But by the end of day 3 it was really clicking. It really should be called the 4 or 5 day method. GL!
We are in Texas and I am totally exhausted after a long day of travel and losing an hour. Now just praying I don't go postal on fil between now and Wednesday.

Has he driven you anywhere yet? Good luck!
Yes we have and I think MIL must have talked to him because he was totally reasonable behind the wheel. I was shocked. SHOCKED I tell you. Just 3 more long car trips left.
