I got less than 4 hrs of sleep last night and woke up with a migraine. The world is to bright and smells are making me nauseous. Boo for visiting with a ton of family like this but yay for lots of hands to hold her while I curl up in a ball under cover.
Ugh, I'm so sorry aggiebug. Migaines are pure evil. Love tit of support. I was wondering where you were at on here. When I get up for work on the weekends, you've normally started or at least posted on the spam thread. T&p's that you feel better soon!

Thanks it's thankfully a bit better. I am not in the hangover phase, but as I told H I feel like I might live. I am also visiting family in the central time zone instead of being in the eastern so I will likely be pretty quiet this week.
Someone stole my husband. He got up at 6 with LO (my day to sleep in) and while LO took first nap around 8, washed all the dishes (there were lots) and LO's bottles. He also collected trash from around the house for me to go to the dump later. Since I've been up around 10, he has cleaned most of the kitchen, including taking apart the stove to soak and clean those pieces, hung the mirror in our bedroom which he has been talking about doing for a few weeks, and hung a picture in the bathroom, which I"ve been talking about him doing for a month or so. He's cleaned out the future office that he has been working on fixed the walls, and is now doing some work on the walls, while LO naps and I eat breakfast.
badw0lfdreemkin It's a quote from the Giving Tree by Step Silverstein "and she loved a little boy very very much - even more than she loved herself." But I'm changin "a little boy" to "two little boys" to reference DS and SS.
SS was 7 months old when the ex started letting DH see him (long, annoying story) so I've been in his life just as long as DH has and I've always loved him like my own, so it was only fitting to include him in the tattoo as well.
I'm getting it on my side though which is slightly terrifying. But I can't picture it being anywhere else so I'm just gonna have to suck it up!
Not sure what we are doing today. DHs children are with us for the first time for two whole nights, pursuant to the new temporary court order. I'm glad DH is getting to see his kids, but it's so stressful when they are here. The cone from a home of ZERO rules & supervision, so I just feel like we are trying to correct bad behavior while they are here. I think from being a full time working single mom, I run a tight ship. So DD is extremely well mannered & well behaved. His kids are not. My folks are pretty tolerant people and they got to a point where they couldn't be around them after a few hours. And this also means that the baby isn't going to sleep well because they refuse to be quiet & stop screaming. Ugh.
Attempting to take them to a baseball game tomorrow, I'm sure I'll regret it cause they can't behave at home, let alone in public. It's mortifying. And they are ungrateful children. It was several hundred dollars for the tickets & I made sure to get everyone a team shirt.
In positive news, we signed DD up for soccer. I don't know who is more excited, DD or DH.
missys, Best picture ever! mamabutt2, I LOVE the giving tree! I got tears in my eyes just thinking about it. I hate it when people say the book sends a bad message. Share a pic when it is finished!
mrsclark731 those people stole my idea! I actually just talked to my sister and said we needed to invent something like that. A dollar short and a day late..... Always!

Hey ladies! I'm posting and running because I'm exhausted. We made it to Ohio at 3:30 am. Long story but my ex completely screwed up our time to leave. I got about 5 hours of sleep so now I'm about to take a nap. I hope to check back in after my nap.
FIL is no longer talking to me because I he got caught trying to sneak into DD's room while she was napping just to see her and I called up to tell him not to. (I wasn't mean about it either in tone or words) Gotta love an adult pouting more than a child. Too bad I don't care.

So the shower went well! There were only 8 of us total and it was really low key. In a surprising turn of events, the main host's father was at the breakfast place and paid for everyone's meals. So nice of him!
I was in charge of mocktails and definitely bought too much.
I feel like Phoebe.
But one friend and her husband are having people over, so she took the leftovers for that.
I'm just running errands now while I have MIL watching DS.
DD was at her Nana and Papa's so during DS's nap I found a fun craft I am going to try. I am going to try and crochet DD a mermaid fin for dress up. I want to keep it open at the bottom so she can walk around. I don't actually have any real time to do this but I am going to give it a whirl.
Ugh it's been a long day already. DH has been in a crusty mood and bitching about everything. I was in a real funk this week and didn't clean anything so the house is a real mess. I was sick of his bitching and said that I was doing my best. To which he replied , I'd hate to see your worst then. So I had a little tantrum and yelled thanks for the support and now I'm upstairs pouting.
We went for a hike today - man was that a wake up call. I have been unhappy with the number on the scale for a long time and frustrated with myself..but I think today was the breaking point. I was huffing and puffing like no other. I just feel so big and gross. I've got to get started in getting back in shape.

We had a #babyinabrewery today but I forgot to take a pic!
We also went to a library book sale this morning. It was one of the smaller branch sales, but I still found a couple things. I can't wait for the big sale in October.

Oh and yesterday at work we presented our innovative ideas that we worked on on Thursday. I actually created mine by myself in our new system (no programming involved, though). It was a contest and I got second place! I won a $75 amazon gift card, woo hoo!
Then after that we had a boat day to celebrate our great numbers from last quarter. Considering I announced my pregnancy at last year's boat day I enjoyed myself a lot more this year drinking beer.

Just got home from a birthday party on DH's side of the family. I'm so mean because I didn't let my baby have cake & ice cream. He was obviously fussing because he wanted ice cream, not because he's overstimulated from the party. Mean momma over here.
Oh my gosh. This is getting hysterical. He is pouting so much that he is working incredibly hard at ignoring his grand daughter. MIL was sitting on the Ottoman of the chair he is in and he is holding a magazine up so he can't see his wife or DD. I had to leave the room so I didn't laugh, and so I could tell you peeps.

It's so sad (but also funny) when people act so immaturely... Especially old people! Keep us updated with the play by play of the standoff!

Happy Saturday. Found a vehicle yay. It was what DH wanted but I found something I want for myself in the next month or so, so I'm ok with his choice for the family vehicle. DD is currently laying her big behind on the boppy, in my lap putting herself to sleep. Not even nursing just laying here slowly drifting off.... Can this be sleep training it's so nice lol.
