1.sleeping at my parents house with two kids, two dogs in one room. 3.yes I'm one of those gross people that lets our dogs sleep in the bed with us. 2.forgot the baby monitor at home so I feel better about her being in my room 3. It's so hot here and my parents won't turn on the AC at night. 4. It's raining out and my OCD dad also just told me to close the window so rain doesn't come in the house. Really? 5. It's 3am just fed LO and she went right back to sleep. Yay! 6. I'm already excited about eating ice cream after lunch tomorrow I promised DS we would go get some. 7 sending thoughts and prayers for the people that lost homes and pets in all the fires in California tonight. 8. Thinking of the fire fighters protecting the homes and the ancient sequoia trees right now in kings canyon park. 9. Zzzzzz 10. Zzzzzzzzzzz
1. I got antibiotics yesterday. I'm feeling a little better again, but no where near back to normal. 2. My milk supply still hasn't recovered. Hopefully it will when I am able to eat like a normal person again. 3. I did manage to make my way into work this morning, but I'm not confident I will make it all day. 4. They were supposed to have an early birthday party for me at work today but I told them to cancel it because I can't stomach food well enough to enjoy it. 5. At this rate I'll be happy if I can tolerate eating cake on my birthday. 6. I still haven't taken any 3 month pics of LO (with the sticker), 5 days later. 7. That's all I got for now. 8. ETA- I fainted while sitting on the toilet in the MOTN over the weekend and got poop all over the bathroom on my way down. When DH heard the thud and found me on the floor, I was laughing. It was pretty funny.
10. Did dinner last night for the 2nd night of Rosh Hashanah at our cousins... Didnt get home till midnight, alarm went off oat 5am. Currently on cup number 3. 9. Someone stole multiple credit card numbers from us this weekend 8. Said person is an idiot and has tried to buy things online which we cough and the companies can track their ip number. 7. They at least have good taste...tried to buy over $100 in Bobby Brown makeup 6. I would really like to go back to sleep 5. I had 3 glasses of wine through out the night last night and did not feel guilty at all making DH give DD a bottle before bed. 4. Even though its a short week, It is going to be a week from hell. 3. Can I go back to bed now? 2. I really need to go pump, but there is someone in the room right now 1. Getting little to no sleep last night is well worth it for the smiles I get first thing in the morning from DD

1. We're in Arlington VA for DH's grandmas funeral
2. Her husband was in the military so apparently the funeral will have a gun salute, etc, which I've never seen.
3. DB is sharing a hotel room with us and just went down for a nap. But he's so alert now he keeps straining his neck to see where we are! I can't believe it. Seems like yesterday he could only see a foot in front of him.
4. DH keeps walking by the PnP to watch DB follow him with his eyes, and giggling at him. I'm going to kill him!
5. Those are so long and narrative I'm doing the rest quick and dirty like...
6. Hotel breakfast is $14. What happened to free shitty bagels and fruit?
7. Hotel bed kicks our beds ass
8. The rest of this week is going to be exhausting
9. This weekend is the start of baby shower season. 4 in the next two months.
10. I bought all my friends Ergo swaddles and bulk wipes and cute outfits because that's what I want to give them. Didn't even look at the registry. I hated when people did that for me! Lol
1. DD went to bed at 7pm last night! 2. Daycare kicks her butt. 3. We are going for a 5 mile walk after her morning nap. 4. I'm enjoying being back to work more than I thought I would. 5. I have become a Jamberry addict. 6. Promise I won't be THAT asshole and try to sell them to my friends. Or anyone for that matter. 7. Katie the Kitty got delivered yesterday and DD can't stop giggling at it. Thanks tiffbot! 8. Boogie Mist and the Nosefrida have been lifesavers for the last week. 9. … even though my pregnant self vowed never to use the Nosefrida out of disgust. 10. Being a mom is the best.
I sell Jamberries too! But sadly I haven't put any on since before LO was born. I bought the nose Friday and hate it. I bought a different nasal aspirator kit that comes with and is a slightly different design but same principle and I love that one.
1.just put LO down awake but drowsy and he passed out in the playpen! Happy dance! 2. LO slept 10-3 and 3:30-7:30. another happy dance! 3. I got my cleaning closet cleaned (the irony of the messy cleaning closet) so now I'm not tripping over the ten gallon pail of laundry detergent. another happy dance! 4. Entered to win $300 of free cloth diapers. @babybean9, did you enter yet today? 5.actually starting to really enjoy the time when DH is at work so LO and I have routines. 6. tiffbot, I almost died laughing at that picture. 7. Loved the book The Shining but terrified to watch the movie since it was the first scary book that actually scared. 8. Styled in a hotel in England that could have been the movie set. 9. My husbands first book launched this week. 10. I haven't read it yet even though I'm thanked in the author's note....does this make me a bad wife?

He has a chronic illness so I feel bad about being annoyed. 6. But why does he get to sleep all night and all day 7. I'm in an awesome Mom Co-Op group on Facebook 8. I'm obsessed with buying stuff from it! 9. The deals are just too good!!! 10. Jules is yelling at me.

1. Got a solid 7 hrs of uninterrupted sleep last night. Amazing. 2. My shutterfly prints are "out for delivery"! 3. Got new phones on Sunday. We finally graduated from flip to smart. 4. My flip phone was 5 1/2 years old and the battery was still going strong, I am kinda sad to abandon it. 5. DH was not as kind to his phone. 6. Family afternoon at the pumpkin patch turned into afternoon of errands and appointments for DH. 7. Not impressed with number 6. Now the little guy and I will stay home and maybe go in for an early supper somewhere with DH. 8. He wants to go to endless shrimp at Red Lobster. I can handle that. 9. I really, really need to vacuum. 10. That's all folks!

1. Another 3 month old over here today!
2. DD1 is being a monster this morning. Meltdown after meltdown, so I'm letting Sesame Street babysit for a bit...
3. I joined the Dietbet challenge on the Parenting board and it's been really motivating. I'm down 4 lbs and I've been really good at watching what I eat and exercising.
4. Except for Sunday.. way too much junk food at DD1's birthday party.
5. The party was awesome though. I'm a bit of an over the top party planner and not even sorry.
6. My niece and nephew are 3 and 7 and basically took over unwrapping all of DD's gifts. I was so annoyed, she was having fun but they wouldn't let her do it herself.
7. It's rainy and cold out today, summer is gone.
8. pghtruelove, I'm also addicted to a Facebook co-op group and need to stop... I just bought 6 pairs of baby moccasins.

1. The last three nights baby girl has led off with 5-7 hour stretches... I don't know who this child is but I really like her! 2. Ive been playing phone tag with my dentist for a week now about getting this damn infected tooth pulled out. Answer your phone, em effer! Im in pain here! 3. Coffee and a chocolate bar for lunch. And I wonder why my teeth are falling out... 4. I ♡ Catfish the TV Show. Guilty Pleasure except I have zero guilt. 5. I ♡ Nev and Max. 6. I push my baby around the house in her stroller during the day because she likes it. Its a 4 room apartment so its not like we have very far to go lol. This is the only way I get anything done. 7. That chocolate was the bomb and Im sad that its gone. 8. Next I will eat leftover honey mustard chicken from dinner last night. 9. All she wants to do is EAT! 10. I meant # 9 about my kid but might as well have been about myself!

@jemomma was gonna ask on the other thread if you got around to doing your nails haha.. I painted my toes last weekend for the first time in god knows how long. In a strange way it felt like a step back into my old self. If I could have a beer instead though you can believe I would make the same choice!

1. I have been spending entirely too much money on online shopping lately. I can't even remember half of the stuff I've ordered anymore. 2. Atleast when it comes in I'll be surprised! I like surprises! 3. I've gotten about half of my Christmas shopping done, though. 4. I've successfully stashed 100 oz of BM (not nearly as impressive as mrsmonogrammed 's 300 oz, though!) 5. Back to work on Monday. Excited to see my HS students but so sad to leave B with someone else. I wish I could just baby wear him all day. 6. Made a photo book on shutterfly with all of our baby announcement photos, maternity photos, pictures from the hospital, and our two family photo shoots since B has been here. I can't wait for it to come in! 7. I'm hosting a baby shower at the house next weekend. I really need to deep clean. 8. I need to buy decorations, too! 9. I've lost my baby weight but want to lose more. I need to lay off the s'mores 10. B is moving into 6month clothes. He needs to stop growing so fast!!
Post by mrsmonogrammed on Sept 15, 2015 11:55:07 GMT -5
kemdupuis 100oz is amazeballs! That's awesome:) And +1 to the too much online shopping...DH doesn't even ask if he should check the front porch for packages anymore, he just does it automatically!

carolyngrace #10- I'm glad people bought me stuff I didn't register for, especially moms that had a better idea of what I didn't realize I would need!
mrsmonogrammed #6- I'm glad that there are other wives suffering from this problem. I like to tell DH (and everyone else in his league that football is a game, and fantasy football is a PRETEND game. Of all the ridiculuous reasons for men to get their panties in a twist.
@jemomma #9- I haven't showered yet. Or since Friday....
Post by alayne926 on Sept 15, 2015 13:06:08 GMT -5
Whoo hoo! The Dr. just left for the day, so I'll play....with pics!
#1 DS slept in his big boy bed ALL night lastnight...I didn't have a little person kicking me in the back/face/ear/insert other part of the body here:
#2 DD loves to be swaddled, so we call her our baby burrito. I may or may not have looked for burrito Halloween costumes...
#3 I have lost 7.8 pounds on weight watchers so far!
#4 DH is totally bribing me to stick with it by telling me for every 10 pounds I lose to my goal weight, I get a spa day!
#5 My sister is totally butthurt about it because she thinks it's rude.
#6 I REALLY want a huge candy bar and a cherry coke, but that is not going to accomplish #4
#7 Gave DD a bath lastnight....I couldn't even tell you when the bath before that was....evenings are hard when you're back to work and have a 2 year old to wrangle into the bath and in bed before meltdown occurs.
#8 I am totally going to use the fact that I only have a Dr. in my clinic two days a week to work on making Christmas presents for my brother and sister. (cross stitch is hard to do with kids in the house)
#9 I feel like a kid listening to the Harry Potter soundtrack station on Pandora, but I love it.
#10 I may or may not also listen to the Hunger Games station as well.
2. Yesterday started with a three hour drive for court through my favorite part of the state. That was fabulous.
3. Then I spent two hours waiting for my case to be called.
4. And that caused my entire schedule to go to shit for the day. I missed my entire afternoon docket and seeing my brother before he left. It also took me twice as long to get home because of the traffic.
5. By the time I got home four hours later than I had planned I was beyond exhausted and couldn't function..
6. Then the dog was crying in pain all night. I think he has taken that big turn for the worse. We are going to have to make tat decision soon. I have had no sleep at all and can't stop worrying about him.
7. My clients today were all crazy and I just can't even. One of them screamed at the judge.
8. I'm back home now and want/need a nap but the baby won't stop crying. I have no idea why. I've tried everything. The sound of Baby Got Colic is making me insane.
9. DH is feeling "emotional" so he took off to go do... Oh I don't have a clue where he is or what he is doing.
10. I am trying to be excited about date night tomorrow because OMG, Billy Joel...
1. O has been sleeping like shit. Naps are a battle and nighttime is in 3 hr chunks if I'm lucky. 2. He's currently napping on me which I'll allow if he might sleep better tonight. 3. I painted all my nails yesterday. 4. I'm not a jamberry fan. They look clunky on me. I love Sally Hansen Miracle gel-I use only the topcoat and it works with any other nail polish. 5. I went clothes shopping today and saved over 50%!! 6. I go back to work next week which is why I needed new clothes. 7. Hopefully being back at work will help me fit back into my old clothes at some point. 8. I'm binging Once Upon A Time. 9. It makes me cry or I'm just a little extra emotional this week. 10. These half hour naps are killing me, Little Man.

1. My phone is stupid. 2. I would manage to be the only person who can't get the latest software update to install. 3. I wouldn't mind so much, but I get alerts about it twice a day. 4. So Verizon is sending me a new one. Yay warranties. 5. Jacob is a crappy napper today. 6. I want a nap. 7. I was up until after 1 am doing a factory reset on my phone and backing up everything (see 1-4) 8. But, he has been happy, even without much napping 9. And won't stop talking to me 10. No idea where he gets that from...lol

1. Our dishwasher stopped working. Hand washing dishes is lame. 2. I received a "signing bonus" rather unexpectedly. Yay extra money. 3. I had an oil change and my break pads are worn. The estimate was over $500. Boo. 4. I had to buy DS socks yesterday because somehow I didn't realize that is he wears 6 month clothes, he needs 6 month sized socks, not the newborn ones he has. Oops. 5. We've been in our condo for just over 2 years and I am so ready to move to a proper house. 6. I bought DS a wool cover for his diaper for night time. Here's hoping it can prevent wetting his pajamas. 7. Trimming baby fingernails should be an Olympic sport. 8. I severely overestimated how much of our shared data plan I used this month. 9. I may be watching "The Borgias" just to listen to Jeremy Irons' voice. 10. I need to go prep bottles for tomorrow. Ugh.

$500 for brakes?! Are your rotors bad too? Even still, that seems like a lot...I would check elsewhere. Pretty sure it was about half that on H's car back in March.
Post by littlemissgrump on Sept 15, 2015 23:13:15 GMT -5
I think it's still Tuesday!
1. I worked, with baby in tow, over 80 hours since last Tues not including 3 overnights.
2. I am so tired.
3. I love being able to take LO with me but it means zero downtime.
4. The kids I was babysitting for are amazing. Ages 3 & 5, with an occasional 6 &/or 4 yo thrown in.
5. H wanted us to do a diet/fitness competition and my prize would be that he would shave his beard. Please, if I'm going work my ass off, I'm getting something for me out of it.
6. I accidently bribed the 3 yo with dessert. I told him if he ate 100 bites of soup he could have 2 m&m's. He totally went for it. He made it to 50 bites and I gave him the candy. I was pretty shocked.
7. The huge consignment sale is this coming weekend. LO doesn't need anything but I'm still going. I love getting baby things.
8. I hope he sleeps well tonight. I could really use a long nights sleep.
9. I've eaten way too many TJ's pb cups today. I think they're better than Reese's.
10. I need to get pictures printed out for the great grands. I feel really bad I haven't sent them anything yet.

1. It was 8pm when my kids finished eating dinner. 2. Because we got home at 6pm with a screaming baby. 3. That took 15 minutes to calm the eff down and burp up all the air he swallowed whilst screaming for the entire 20+ minute drive. 4. DH walked in at 6:30 and took him.
5. He had just fallen asleep. 6. Baby has been sleeping on DH since then, going on 3 hours now. 7. Kids loved dinner, which is a HUGE win. 8. Chicken pot pie, with homegrown chicken and store-bought veggies. 9. DH still hasn't eaten. 10. I still haven't showered (seriously @jemomma ? 2 minutes? I can't even get my hair wet that fast!).
