Mickey Mouse Monday Spam

[mrsclark731]

Because I'm watching MMCH and nothing will be as exciting as amy2383 spam yesterday. 

[mrsclark731]

I think I smell poo coming from the Jumparoo and I'm scared.

[mishka29]

Full belly at 5 am... Perfect time to practice trying to crawl. Ugh

[miniwheat]

We are watching MMCH too. It's the Mickey birthday episode.

I am getting so annoyed with DH. I usually would never vent about him but I am at max capacity before I lose it. He is being so nit-picky with me. We were going to take the kids out to get groceries and spend some time outside before the heat of the day creeps in and he was nit-picking how I packed the diaper bag and I got so angry, I sent him out by himself. Like how does the diaper bag make or break your day? And since I am the one doing the changes and feedings, back off or go alone buddy!

OK...I feel better! I just can't stand nit-picking.

We had a 5am start too. WHyyyyy.... I swear, when they are teenagers I am getting them up at 5 on Saturdays!

Morning ladies!

miniwheat well, that is annoying with DH. Amazing idea for DS when he is a teenager.

mrsclark731 how do you like your phone? Are you used to the big size yet? I have the 6+ and when I look at the smaller iPhones, I don't understand how people can read on such a small phone. Guess I am never going back to a small phone.

DH is starting the nutrisystem diet today. This man has never dieted in his life. I don't know how long he is going to last before his first binge meal. He is going from eating 2000+ calories to about 1200 calories today. I am staying clear of him.

Didn't someone do the Whole 30 meal plan a couple months ago? Any tricks that help you find ingredients or any other advice? My book comes tomorrow.

[mommadozer]

Oh, my mom let me borrow some classic Donald and Chip and Dale cartoon DVDs yesterday and I hung out with DS watching them. He doesn't like them. he wouldn't calm down with them on and so I flipped over to the DVR and played MMCH and he starts laughing at Mickey.

[miniwheat]

mommadozer, I did Whole30! I found a few blogs where people were sharing recipes etc. and over on Parenting there was a thread and I followed along. I wasn't making fancy meals or anything. Keeping the month really simple and not making W30 "compliant" alternatives is the best way to go. I found like 6 or 7 things that I liked and kept eating them all month. Good luck!

I LOVE the 6 plus already! H says he has phone envy, which is unusual because he sells IT and we have every electronic device he's ever wanted. I'm a big fan of my iPad mini so I wasn't 100% that I'd like this....but I do I'm going to put my iPhone 5 on eBay today.

Why do kids love MMCH so much?! Disney knows what's up. I have started to put on Sherif Callie (or whatever it's called) because I can only watch so much Mickey Mouse in one day.

[osumegs]

mommadozer I've done whole 30 twice. I like it as a reset when I've been eating junk. A lot of the ingredients you can find in the regular grocery. The rest I either ordered from amazon or found in a specialty grocery store. Usually they were cheaper on amazon though.

Some good recipe resources are The Clothes Make the Girl and NomNom Paleo. Both are online.

Making the hot plates (I think is what TCMTG called them) was a huge time saver for me.

Having a rude re-entry to the real world today. DD was up 4 times last night, I still have no idea what that was all about but it resulted in me getting about 4 hours of sleep before coming back to work after a week off.

Then I just barely missed my train at 7 (watched it pull away), waited for the next train to NY letting two trains to Hoboken come and go, next NY train was 10 mins late and got rerouted to Hoboken anyway. FML. Took me a solid 2 hours to get to work.

[aggiebug]

WittyLittle thanks for asking, it's been hectic so I haven't been on really. Yesterday was great! The ILs made it, DD was perfect for her baptism, the food was a huge hit and now I want to nap day lol.

[lotsofdotts]

mrsclark731, Good luck with the poo situation. Brady isn't pooping regularly lately, so I always dread when he actually does it.

miniwheat, Deep breaths. Don't kill him; you might need him later.

dmorgendorffer, Sorry, girl. That is the worst. Did you get any sleep on the train?

I was just about to ask about this. Glad they made it and everything was a success.

Hello! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I have the sunburn from hell on my shoulders, despite using sunscreen. DD likes to dig her little nails into my burned skin and it hurts something awful!

Has anyone ever used Perfectly Posh products?
I have The Healer Stick, and it's been fantastic for sunburn, bug bites, scrapes, eczema.. it's the best $13 I've ever spent.

Happy Monday we Love Mickey Mouse over here. DD is down for a nap. I think I'm gonna go take one with her. Then I may hit up Wal-Mart. They have a bunch of fabric on sale and I want to start making cute headbands for DD and probably sell them on Etsy etc.

[mommadozer]

It's a MMCH morning for us too.

[lotsofdotts]

Today is the last day before I have to go back to school. DH is there today while DS is at football practice. Thank God I didn't have to get up at 5:30 to get him to practice. I can't believe I have to leave Brady tomorrow. I wish I could be a SAHM, but we just can't afford it. DH is a teacher as well, but I am older and have a masters so I make significantly more. Staying at home isn't an option unless we hit the lottery.

So I am going to finish my coffee and then have a fun day with Brady today.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug glad everything went well!
PikoPiko I was hoping you'd share the cake; I remember the one you made for L's 100 days (I think. It was a cool cake whatever the reason)! The duck is adorable! How'd the rest of the shower go?
dmorgendorffer sorry for the commuting hell

[lilyelayne]

lotsofdotts enjoy your day!

So when I went on maternity leave, my department should've been activated on a new clinical trial within the next week or two, but my supervisor totally dropped the ball and we didn't get activated until August. My supervisor texted me that we have our first patient this afternoon! It feels really, really weird not to be there.

[mommadozer]

miniwheat and osumegs thanks for the tips.

mrsclark731 that's hilarity with the phone envy. DH got the 6 a few weeks before me. He was on the fence about getting the 6+ because he puts his phone in his pocket. He got phone envy the same day I got mine and returned his 6 for the 6+.

I liked my mini but, my arms would fall asleep holding it in bed. 6+ is the perfect size.

[amy2383]

mrsclark731 we call the jumparoo the poo machine. Not sure if it is the standing or jumping but it helps her go every morning.
We are packing up all our stuff from the pit of hell temperature room and heading to the airport, I am so excited to sleep in my own bed tonight.

[mrsclark731]

amy2383 thank you for last night. I spent the MOTN feeding stalking Instagram. Safe travels home!!

[mrsclark731]

mommadozer, the whole won't-fit-in-my-pocket was H's reason not to get the plus. He is just going to remain envious, I suppose

H is ordering our GoPro thing this week... I'm excited for that too!

Me and you seem to have the same love for technology and gadgets. Do you also own a ridiculous amount of Apple products and TVs?

[mrsclark731]

miniwheat, deep breaths, like lotsofdotts said

lotsofdotts, hugs! Enjoy your day with B!

dmorgendorffer, that sounds like a rather rude re-entry. H had to haul it in the car this morning to the top of the Parkway... He just texted me he wishes he could've taken a train. Public transportation is such a double edged sword.

AppropriateChocolate, I need to see some headband pics!

For all those dying with curiosity, the poo was mighty in the Jumparoo. It was a blow out--but barely. No sterilizing the Jumparoo thankfully.

aggiebug Do you mind if I ask: was your LO baptized during a service or separate? We're setting a date/time for ours this Friday and we're leaning toward it being separate (since DD will likely be awake and either babbling or getting cranky for a nap). Would've been nice if we could've gotten it done earlier when she slept all the time but what can you do? Glad to hear yours went well!

Hugs to all the mamas out there going back to work. Hope you can be comforted by the fact that you're doing what is best for your families to thrive!

Here we're working on getting DD used to the crib, which for her means getting naps to work first. It's still a struggle and I have to sit here in her room the whole time in this learning phase, but I've gotta say that giving her Lolly the Giraffe as a crib companion has been win so far. She loves running her little fingers through Lolly's mane of tags. :-)

[aggiebug]

FlutterOfYoshis ours was during a service that is pretty standard in the Methodist Church. I was worried about her attitude but she napped in the car on the way there which was just enough to keep her happy for the first half of the service.

[PikoPiko]

lilyelayne, thanks. I had a great time at the shower. The other host decorated the place really well. I wish she'd just leave the decor up forever, hahaha.


So here's the thing, I don't know if im right to feel a bit ticked off. One of us took a lot of time in planning this, she sent out the menu to get feed back and did most of the food purchasing and prep work. She asked me and the 3rd host to help make a couple things too. I thought that was fair. The 3rd host showed up, with none of the things she was supposed to make, instead went and bought some little cupcakes from the supermarket. I was instantly annoyed cos dude, I'm already making a gigantic cake! Those aren't even fancy cupcakes from a dessert store! We ended up sending my and the other girl's hubbies out to get food at the last minute.

I thought she shouldn't even be a host if she was going to be too busy to do any prep work. I seriously held my tongue yesterday but avoided her during party.

[danitaec]

Officially back to school today. It's raining, I'm tired and I hate pretty much everything. Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of so darn good looking?

[cougarette]

Hey there! Not to much going on here. It seems like there was something I wanted to tell yall....

Oh yeah

DS ROLLED FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY!!!!!

They were so excited at daycare. And he was just smiling, looking so proud of himself as I told them.

Thanks again for the support last week. Yall are the best!
