DS woke up at 5:30. Managed to convince him that it was cool to stay in our bed watching his kindle. I got out of bed at about 7:30 after dosing on and off.
Going to my mom's lake house today since DH is going to the range. At least I get some help watching DS. Grocery shopping solo and candy making will be happening tonight since DH gets to go off and have fun.
cynthia2007 - Can you stop doing so much and get your DH to participate more? He does well when you aren't there so he's able to do it. You just have to have a talk and set some new expectations. From what I see from your posts you get A ready, do daycare drop off/pickup and bedtime every day. And you cook! You are doing it all! I don't know how you do it but you don't have to. On another note you seem to be awesome at your job and it seems like they appreciate you. You'll definitely have a huge raise before you have anther kid And you have to have another because you make such cute kids. That pic of A is adorable!
I wish but I get angry if I have to ask him to do something. He should know to get up and do it! I do need to set up new expectations but I just don't have the energy. I did just get a raise so I can't complain but holy crap at daycare costs!
And thanks on kiddos comment. I want a little boy so bad. So does H and he knows that unless he loses weight and gets more active, it's not happening.
You get mad if you have to ask and you get mad if you don't ask and have to do it yourself. Sounds like nobody is winning. How is that fair to you or your DH? I'm sorry if I'm on your back for this because I know you are going through a lot and but you seem to really love him and this type of communication style is a relationship killer. It is killing you softly on the inside. You hold frustration inside about it. You always seem so relieved and happy when you ask him to do something and he does it. It could be like that all the time. You and him are a team. He seems to be willing but I am not sure you feel that way. I will stop and mind my business now because I really don't know your life. Hope you know this comes from a good place because I care about you.

This is 100% what I was going to post. It doesn't really work both ways. Hopefully if you start asking, that will create positive habits and you won't have to ask anymore.
I couldn't take it any more DH has this cousin that posts grossly untrue things on Facebook. I very passively-aggressively posted links to articles on something she posted.
So I was all excited Travis didn't throw up yesterday. He went pale a couple of times. But was good. He ate a ton of food and I was happy thinking maybe he was better
Fast forward to 1 am. Go and check on him before bed. He's almost crying he's so upset cause he says he has to throw up and his tummy hurts.
I run and grab the bucket and he still hasn't thrown up so I give him some gravel. He goes back to sleep until 2:30 and then he is gagging and trying to throw up again even with the gravel in his system. Same thing again at 3 and 4 after 4 we gave up and he let him lay on the couch watching tv. He's since hasn't puked but he now has the poops.
megsw85, I am so sorry, I think if I were you I would keep pushing for answers. Maybe see if you can get a referral to a gastroenterologist. This is not normal and not just a bug.
We busted out the teethers. E is going to town on them, he barely used them before. I hope these canines come down the rest of the way soon. It's been just the points for over a week.

majwv8 Soo I know you always use the tag #littlemiss*** in your instagram pics and it totally just dawned on me that *** are her initials, huh? HAHA! I feel dumb.
Every time I try to take my kid to mass I remember why I don't. She tries so hard but she just can't sit still.
This is why I like mass better than the Protestant services! (With little kids) There's always s ton of kids that are more loud than not. Lol We all went this morning and had toys for P. He did well all things considered. But, this is on post and may be more lenient toward kid noise.
So bridesmaid dress shopping went well. I was between two sizes so I went one up from the larger size. It seems really easy to take in if it's way too big. And looks like it would be flattering with a little bump.
mcbush I have no boobs, so my top is going to be big regardless. It looks really flowy in the picture, but it's really a tighter satin layer under a chiffon layer. So my fear was that bottom layer. I technically have till Tuesday to change my mind.

I only attempt it at Christmas and Easter, because it's just me, no help on Sunday mornings. Good news, though, when they get older they can go to Sunday school
I think DH's goal this weekend was to annoy me. After everything from yesterday, he actually went to get E when she woke up this morning and brought her in to our room. Made a bottle and brought it to me, saying "here you feed her I have more homework to do". Now I try to be understanding about his homework, but this isn't even stuff that is due right now. He's working ahead! So you can't take a minute to feed E and then go do homework?!
Then he had M in the office with him while he was doing it... and fully admitted that he wasn't really paying attention to her. A 2 year old, left basically unsupervised, in a room with pens, markers, tape, candles, paper, scissors - it looked like a bomb went off. And when I walk in she's holding a pen, has markers all over her clothes, bits of a gel candle in her hair and is standing in a pile of paper clips. DH couldn't understand why I was upset by this.
So his solution was to take the girls for a walk. It's 102 out right now. Jesus.

Great way to start the morning with a boat ride on the lake. Now to convince H that we need to come back for Labor Day. I need to win the lottery so we can have a side property on the water!
megsw85, I am so sorry, I think if I were you I would keep pushing for answers. Maybe see if you can get a referral to a gastroenterologist. This is not normal and not just a bug.
This. If he's lost that much weight so quickly and is getting worse instead of better there's something going on. I hope you stop getting the runaround and can get some tests and answers. Poor kiddo. Eta: also, poor you. A good week for all the drinking, sounds like.
I'm at such a loss as what to do cause I've never had to deal with him being this whatever he is. It's so confusing. If he had fever or was lethargic then I would know what to do.
Right now since 6 am he was gone poop 7 times in 6 hrs. I can't get a for sure that he has peed at all this am. I've asked he has said no. He then said this last poop he peed. But then he got off the toilet and tried to go pee again but nothing was coming out. So I'm thinking he is just saying what I want to hear.
He is acting fine and happy. He's eating ok. He's a little sluggish but he also has been up since 4 am.
I'm sorry to keep going on about this. I'm just confused and second guessing myself completely.

We are having a good weekend despite some miserable colds around here. Our date night was fabulous, we ate the most delicious dinner I have ever had. We told our waiter we weren't in a big rush and I think by the time we left we had been there for 3 hours and eaten about 8 courses, but it didn't feel like it at all.
This morning we packed up the kids and went down to my IL's cottage to spend the with my SIL and BIL. K played on the beach and had a blast. We are going to H's aunt's for dinner in a little bit then home to crash... I think I'm overdue for my dues so here you go!
Hey, speaking of anustart1, how was that webinar last night?
Hahaha. We've attended several webinars this weekend. Some were better than others I haven't caught up but there were no drunk exploits last night for me, I had a race this morning and I figured I could use one night of abstaining!
Every time I try to take my kid to mass I remember why I don't. She tries so hard but she just can't sit still.
Go UU- we have a nursery in the back with a Mary Poppins like sitter. They have the service over the speakers so the kids can hear if they want. DH and I just go on a date in the aisles listening to the whole service uninterrupted!
