Morning ladies.. DD slept pretty well last night. Praying for better tonight. I'm crockpotting dinner. Whole Chicken in crock pot #1, String Beans with Turkey Bacon in crock pot #2 and Mac and Cheese in crock pot #3. Gonna fry some apples and make some biscuits to go with... To bad I have NO IDEA wtf we are eating for lunch.. I may hit up this place that makes homemade donuts and
Hey y'all. We stayed out waaaay too late with DS last night, so once we finally got back to the hotel for bedtime he had multiple wake ups. But all in all he's gotten a good amount of sleep, so today should be good. Also no party today so we won't stay out so late
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.
I've had some good ones. Buckwheat mixes are like eating thick crepes.
Ikea was a success and I only spent an hour there. Most of it trying to get to the bath section and then down to the kitchenware. It's worse than a casino.
WittyLittle ewwwww. Maggots make me gag. That's awful that pests are your problem to get rid of. What if the pests are a pre existing issue before you move in? They must be coming from your neighbor. Maggots just don't come out of nowhere.
I earned mom of the year award yesterday.... DS wanted to nurse and snuggle all day yesterday. Of course, I am trying to clean our room and do some organizing. We would nurse for a bit and lay in bed for 30 minute sessions all morning. Around noon he is screaming nonstop and won't stop unless I am holding him walking around. He won't stop and I am losing my patience. So I put him in his crib turn on his light up toy and leave. He eventually falls asleep. Later on at a BBQ, DS will not stop screaming and being very unlike his normal self. Well I finally check his mouth and he has a tooth cutting through. I felt so bad that I didn't check earlier. Poor guy.
We are definitely having unlimited snuggles today.
hollydfromtn wow. How far along is she? Maybe she hasn't realized what baby shower etiquette is yet.
She's due late November. She doesn't really know what any kind of etiquette is, but after I met her mom and sister I can totally understand why. Her sister is due with her second child in September. She's 20 and lives with her mom.
WittyLittle, Just ewwww! I can't imagine finding that. I hope that the exterminator can fix this. Good luck hanging on until Thursday.
mamabutt2, Yay! That is the best feeling the first time it happens.
hollydfromtn, Oh hell no! That is beyond wrong. Sorry, but that gets major side eye from me.
Major side eye from everyone! I talked to my mom and she said all she knew was the date and she is supposed to be helping with it. She is pissed that SIL invited so many people and expects her to help with the food and decorations. It's times like this that I am so happy that I live 2 hours away.
DS can now do m sounds in addition to d sounds so instead of dad's all the time it's been mama since yesterday. Oh course I couldn't ignore him in his crib hoping he'd go back to sleep when it was mama ohhhmama. I'll learn to ignore the mama cries later. One of the many reasons I fail at sleep training. I really need to adult up on it.
@holachica unsure about the time change because we've also been going and doing all day (and late last night) so his schedule/routine is gone. I think the real test will be when we go back home.

well that escalated quickly. I called teh neighbour a few times but no answer, so I went to his neighbours from the other side and asked if they knew any contact details for who might have a spare key. They gave me the number of his ex wife. I call the ex wife and she says he's supposed to be home right now. She says she'll call some people and get back to me. An hour later, nobody knows where he is so the ex wife says she will drive over with the key. She comes and we go in together to see if there's a problem and I'm half expecting to find him lying dead on the floor. Thank god he was not in the house, but we did find the source of the maggots. Unfortunately a neighbour cat must have gotten locked inside the house and hidden right before the neighbour went away on his trip (if that's where he's gone). The cat passed away but hence the maggots.
It was awful. Now I also have to go check missed cat ads and try to find the owner to tell the bad news. And also, noone knows where this neighbour is... What an adventure :/

So remember my work BF who acted like and ass and threw me under the bus? Well, she finally figured out that something was wrong between us and asked me if I was okay. You all will be proud of me because I was up-front with her about how she hurt my feelings and what she did was majorly fucked up. I told her that I didn't want to be involved with drama and if she was going to be dramatic all year, I will not be a part of it. I will still love her but will distance myself at work. Apparently she is completely oblivious and has tunnel vision because she was freaked out that she hurt my feelings. She has spent two days apologizing. I'm proud of myself for standing up for myself. She really needed a reality check, but I thought it would cause a big argument.
Today we are continuing to clean the house and watch Empire. That show is crazy!

Don't feel too bad. He still sleeps with me most nights. He'll sleep 7-11 alone, wake up crying, be able to go back to sleep next to me until 4 when he eats again and then up at 730. For the moment it gets me more sleep.
Big fail part; if I get in bed at 9 and he hasn't asked for me yet I feel a little sad about sleeping alone. LOL. I figure he won't go off to college wanting to sleep with his mom. I won't stress about it for now.
DH and I recently watched the episode of The League were the MIL makes Jenny do a breastalizor on her milk. And she steals the Cutler baby milk.... so funny! I was dying! Thought of this group.
ETA: not like we're boozers or anything, just bc, you know, we have babies.

WittyLittle I had just talked to DH about your maggot debacle and how the neighbor was out of town. His exact words were, "I bet it's her neighbor." I'm glad it wasn't him and that you finally found the source.
I knew it had to be coming from your neighbor! I'm glad you were persistent and it wasn't your neighbors dead body.
Who cleaned up the cat?!
We called the animal ambulance (don't know if that's the proper English term for it... rescue people) and they took it away. I spent an hour cleaning up maggots from wherever I could find and will go back tomorrow to get the rest. Sprayed a boat load of Raid everywhere. WHAT A DAY!!! Did I mention I've been terrified of maggots since I was a kid?

And to add, I'm so glad it's not my neighbour. Especially when his ex wife said 'he should be home' I thought oh no. nonononono. NOOOOOOO. Our hearts were both pounding out our chests!!!

I wouldn't be going in there. You're braver than I am!

I'm glad it was just a cat (poor kitty though ). I was thinking it was your neighbor, hence the welfare check. Hopefully the maggots will be gone now.
I wonder where your neighbor is. I'm suprised his ex-wife knew when he was supposed to be home. I've had trouble keeping track of DH's trips (and sometimes my own) without a calendar. I don't think I'd keep up with his trips if we were divorced unless it had to do with visitation.
