It's Sunday and I'm trapped in nursing jail. Probably soon to be nap jail as I fail at sleep training. Oh well, if he falls asleep I might be able to sneak him into his carseat and be off to Ikea.
I want to make cupcakes for DS's 6 month birthday. I'd invite friends over, but then I'd need gluten free ones and I don't want that. DS would not be eating said cupcakes. I'd eat his for him. I considered making pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting because muffins are healthy, right?
Hell seamonster i saw a vegetable in that list somewhere do it must be healthy!!!
Speaking of gluten free, DH made me use the gf pancake mix this morning because i might like it... no. I have a wheat allergy, not a lack of taste buds thank you very much. Like licking cardboard thats been soaked on the ground in the rain for a night. Gross.
Gross gross GROSS we have maggots in our kitchen. They were living under the carpet that leads to the kitchen. Im SO over bugs this summer... present from the previous drug dealers that lived here before us?!
I am so thankful H is willing to help but good Lord sometimes it's just not worth it. On that note, DD you cam gp back to you good sleeping habits tonight. K? Thanks.
Today we are off to church then lunch with friends and to the store for diapers because we have 3 left. Oops.

WittyLittle, EWWWW. I'd burn it down after finding maggots! Maggots are a huge NOPE in my book...they really freak me out. At least you found them? You deserve a medal for all the bug situations you've dealt with recently.
Hi everyone! Not much going on here. Dh is working this am. Dd slept until almost 8, just woke up and is playing in her crib. Woohoo! I had to rock her to sleep last night ugh.
I have one of my childhood bffs baby shower today. It's 2 hours away. I already said yes and I know I should go... But I really really don't feel like driving that far today. I already drove 3 hours to and from the cape this week. I am going to get stuck in so much traffic. I am trying to tell myself it will be fun when I get there, plus she drove out here for mine.
Sleep training was so hard for the first hour last night, but then he slept through the night. I repeat: He. Slept. Through. The. Night. Ohmygosh!!! I woke up a brand new woman! My boobs were killing me, but still! I fed him at 4:30 and he went back to sleep in his crib without a fight
Dd is up this morning but totally has a runny nose. I'm gonna be sucking snot out all day. But she slept til 7:30 so can't complain too much. Headed to my parents today for lunch.
Oh and it's her 6 month birthday today! Yay! Can't believe it.
That's awesome mamabutt2 I swear, sleep training has made our lives a trillion times better and my baby is happier because of it... Although it didn't feel like that would be the case when we first started out!

Ok, so I have to share this with someone that will understand the ridiculousness. If you remember a while back I was talking about my SIL that is pregnant and said she kept her tests on her night stand so she could look at them. Well I woke up this morning to a FB invite to her baby shower. Here's the real kicker, a) she's the host b) she invited 100 off her FB friends and c) she put in a note to bring your spouse, significant others, siblings and kids. WTH?! And she says all she needs are baby essentials like diapers, wipes, lotions etc. I can't wrap my head around all of this. Oh and don't bring a card, bring a book for the nursery and write a little note in it.

On to my actual spam this morning. Headed to church in a few and then off to the ILs this afternoon. They're still pretty bummed we didn't stay at the cabin with them, but they agree we shouldn't have. Just bummed they missed out on a full weekend of nonstop baby. DS is still really grumpy because of his nonexistent teeth. At least I assume that's why he's grumpy. I don't want to wish away this time with him, but man it would be nice if he could talk already and tell me what's wrong.
I have to share this with someone so I pick you guise.
If you recall, a couple weeks ago I posted about how I looked up my ex-fiancé on FB because my mom told me he had a baby and I got nosey and wanted to see the pic. I discovered then that his baby momma, whom I've never met, had me blocked on FB. Anyways...we still have one or two mutual friends and I saw a post about another baby. So I snooped and they just had another baby! The first one just turned a year old in May. I then proceeded to have weird dreams all night about him Moral of the story--I'm never looking them up no matter how curious.
We dropped off the Audi to get detailed this morning. H is attempting to put her down for her morning nap. I'm about to run and put gas in the truck and get dog treats and some chicken to grill up for dinner. Then we are heading to the park to swing before it gets too hot!
Ugh. I just deep and steam cleaned the whole downstairs and was finally finished sterilising everything that we might touch ever... i sat down on the couch and a morher fucking maggot strolls over the carpet as if to say hello. Ive torn up the entire carpet, taken off side panels, and lifted up every single thing we own downstairs to inspect it. I have NO IDEA where they are coming from. This is no way to get over my fear of maggots. Im going to cry. And then puke. And then cry again.
WittyLittle ahhhh! I'm so sorry! Do you guys own or lease?
We lease but the agency say pests are our responsibility to get exterminated. I dont mind that, but without knowing where they arr coming from i cant get them exterminated i guess
We'd love to move but we have a 2 year contract. 1 year 6 months to go!
Tag fail on mobile-- oh NO! Is there any way they could be coming from the walls or from outside? Maggots only are around when there is something rotting they can eat, right?
Thanks guys! I've just called the company and they can only come on Thursday evening so it looks like ill be dealing with this myself in the mean time. Bring. It. On.
Barf.
Im going to break in to the neighbours garden and check if there's something decaying in his house. He's on a business trip and our kitchens share a wall.

Good morning! Just did some more packing even though we still haven't sold our condo! Ugh. Plan on going to BRU, the Outlets, and possibly Old Navy today. Oh and the library if it is open although I don't think it is. I have a library card but haven't been there in ages. I'd like to pick up a book for vacation next week. I have a Kindle but its hard to read on the beach unfortunately.
What else? We went for breakfast this morning. Abby was such a good girl although they didn't have any high chairs available so we had to put her on the chair at the table and push her in good. It was a little scary but she didn't seem to mind.
Finally, she is sleeping in her crib right now taking a lovely nap. It is a life changer now that she is actually taking a nap in her crib 2-3 times a day on the weekend. I can like, get stuff done. Happy Momma over here! Hope you all have a great Sunday. The weather is amazing here in Philly!

Okay, gross story time. I once found maggots in my car. UGH. Awful. I vacuumed and sterilized and everything but couldn't get rid of them. So we bought a bug bomb that was labeled for use for a boat cabin, cracked the windows just slightly, opened the place in the backseat between the car cabin and the trunk and put the bomb in the trunk. Worked wonderfully.
Maybe you could try that, if you have a place to stay for a day or two with the baby?

Ooooh thanks that made me feel better! It's we've so gross right? We've not had any new visitors in about 2 hours so it might finally be over but othetwise i will try to arrange that! Thw neighbour has his blinds shut so i don't know for sure if it's coming from his house but it almost has to be. Every cavity in this house has been checked and there's nothing rotting anywhere that we can see. I'll send neighbour man a message and ask him who has a spare key.
