This may actually be flame-worthy:
I am secretly hoping my aunt hangs on a few days so I have a reason to drive to Boston rather than fly. (I'd then drive my mom home to Vermont and over to our new house in NY.)
I would love a full day to myself in my car listening to podcasts and just being alone with ME. Stopping to eat whatever I want. Etc.
I'm a coffee club poseur. I might have been the first one to buy a mug (even before workinit) but was too embarrassed to post a picture because I rarely post in the morning. germaphobe's design was so cute and I love how big it is.
DD only drink water from her sippy cups. They get washed with soap maybe once a week. I'm always trying to grab the least dirty looking one from the stash.

I think I read too many gossip blogs. I wasn't the least bit surprised by Jen and Ben's split nor Blake and Miranda. Both times I think I muttered "finally!".
I should probably channel more energy into reading news sites instead.

We don't co sleep in this house. DH was out of town and E refused to sleep at night, so I brought her to bed with me. She slept, I slept. I didn't tell DH.

I can't stand to watch the news or read the news. It's always about someone getting murdered or a politician blowing smoke... I'd rather read about celebrities and their lives because for the most part, at least they're happy. And I can kill it on any celebrity portions of trivia!

We switched to Huggies because I can get them at Costco and they're cheaper. But I need about 700 more points from Pampers so that I can get Shutterfly books for all the grandparents at Christmas and not have to pay for them. I should probably just pay for the books.

It's a 10 hour drive and I might be crazy.
When I flew home for my grandmother’s funeral this spring, I thoroughly enjoyed my flights alone, having my iPad to myself, sleeping and eating on my schedule etc. I like to think my Grandmother, who had 7 (!) kids would have understood and told me to take advantage of the me time.

Honey don't be hard on yourself. This is definitely not flame worthy just big big hug worthy!
+1 Also, both kids hardly ever get bathed these days. It's been a bit more frequent now that we can throw them in together, but it's really a once/week thing. I'm upping M's frequency to see if it helps with sleep, though. H took over bath duty for B when I was pregnant too, and I tried not to nag about it, so it went from ~3 baths/week to 1 pretty quickly .
I made DH do all the baths with M while I was pregnant. It was just too hard to get down to the tub. I don't blame you at all!
When dh is here he does. But he's only off Tuesday's/Sunday's. All the other days he doesn't get home until 11pm so by the time he gets home it's time for Azeem to go to bed. But yes the bending down is really rough.
Would putting a chair by the tub help? And then just help A step out of the tub when he's done?
You wouldn't have to wash him, just let him play in the tub. That's what I do when my H isn't home to get in the bath with K.

Oh we have a chair but I never thought of just letting him "rinse off" without washing him off with a rag and soap. Maybe I'll try that a little more often
Maybe try giving him a soapy washcloth and go at it? LO is surprisingly good at washing himself (given very specific instructions), providing he's in the right mood. Better than nothing, right?
After all the drama the other day, every time I see the "ring sling tut" thread, my brain changes it to "ring slut" and I have to retread it 3 times to convince myself that's not what it says.

I sometimes wonder how my life became what it is. I'm 21, a (special needs) mom, and a wife. My life revolves around therapy sessions, parenting, making sure my husband knows he is a priority. I feel guilty for feeling like I missed out on being a carefree teenager. I mean I am so proud of my family and I love them more then anything, but sometimes I get a little jealous when see what other people my age are doing.

I hear you. I didn't have the "traditional" college experience, and sometimes I feel like I really missed out on certain things. Even at 28, my childless, unmarried friends are doing some seriously envious stuff. You are rocking it, though! In addition to having a wonderful little family that I'm so proud of, I also sometimes console myself with the fact that I don't have to spend any time or energy thinking about dating or the associated drama!

I keep wondering what ring slings have to do with mummies...
I want to post a PSA, because I teach Latin. I feel awful and nitpicky calling people out on it in the moment because it's really trivial, but it drives me nuts. I've seen it a few times from different people. I don't even remember who, so, I'm not long-term judging. Ain't nobody got time for that.
It's etc. not ect.
Etc. is an abbreviation of "et cetera." Et = and Cetera = the rest/others
*steps down from soapbox*
Oh! Associated fun fact that blew my mind when I realized it. Ampersands (&) are crystallized forms of Et!
I never told you guys because I was in labor the Friday after it happened.
Four days before having N (three days before Xmas), my MIL came over to watch M and I went shopping. I was SO gassy so I went to the empty men's section of TJMaxx and let it rip. Then I finished my shopping and came home.
After I got home I discovered that I actually pooped a little.
I love that you've been holding this (see what I did?) for over 6 months!
