Over the weekend, I went to a visitation for my great aunt. One of my Dad's cousins just kept telling me how adorable my kids are. She asked my daughter is she could give her a hug. Surprisingly, DD agreed and she hugged her. When we were walking downstairs to go eat, she said, "I like her." Lok it was really cute. My DD usually does not like strangers. At all. She will hide behind me if anyone tries to talk to her.
I know this is stupid to rant about but I have the hardest damn time finding shoes.
I want a pair of shoes that I can wear socks with so my feet won't get cold. I want it to have a small heel so that it looks professional but I want it to be comfortable. I want a pair that I don't have to wear a skinny/tapered leg with so that it looks decent. I just want to look like I'm trying but be really comfy and sort of stylish. Is that too much to freaking ask?!
Baby is asleep on my lap. I really want to get a shower and dd needs a bath and I need to wash and vacuum the floors... But I'm going to sit here until I have to pee if it means he'll sleep.
pmcd886, Using sweet baby kisses is no playing fair at all!
It really isn't. It's a good thing we aren't just using condoms because he might start poking holes in them once this guy is a bit older, he wouldn't really. He would love to have another though.

you want comfy and stylish shoes? Yes, yes too much to ask. Didn't you take female 101 in school? It's a law. Thou shalt not make cute shoes that do not murder thy feet.
I really want to punch my (soon to be ex) SIL. She had a pity me post on Facebook about her boyfriend breaking up with her and supposedly flipping a couch on her. (Not that I am condoning his behavior.) She was cheating on him and he kicked her out of the house. She was talking about how the kids need a good father figure, how can he hurt me and my kids, blah,blah, blah. I just want to comment that my brother is their father and a damn good one st thst. He has taken in her illegitimate child (conceived while he was deployed and no way possible for her to be his) as his own. It is taking every piece of my self control to not comment. I try to stay out of it so it won't affect my brother and our family from being able to see the kids.
If you care to read some back story on this dirt bag, I posted about it in yesterday's random thread.
The pedi didn't seem concerned with O's cold. She said his fever was mild (99.2)) so it wasn't a big deal. The congestion hasn't settled in his chest so she wasn't too worried about pneumonia or anything like that. Dropped him off at daycare and hopefully he feels better. Little guy is so pitiful.
I was telling H and O about motownthrowdown's Amelia's troubles (because I tell him what is going on here because you guys are my only friends) and I started off like I do all my stories "One of the ladies on the board" and then the qualifier "you know, the one who ..." in this case, "the one who had her baby super early and was in the nicu forever and I was so happy when she got out." And he stopped me and said, "What's her name? Like, what do you guys call her." He either cares or just doesn't want a super long explanation each time.
ady45,um yea, I would completely post that the kids already have a perfect father figure, their own father!!!
your sil makes me ragey.
Me too. When I first moved to the town we graduated in, she was my friend. We were in 8th grade. I realized that she was a pathological liar and just a terrible person and we stopped being friends. She is afraid of me for whatever reason.
She says the doctor told her to give my niece (just turned 4) monster and coffee and that she is allergic to herself. When my nephews were 4 and 5, the little girl was a baby. My 5 y.o. nephew would get himself and his siblings dressed and fed everyday. My youngest nephew got burned enough to have a nasty peeling wound because he had to make his own Ramen noodles in the microwave. She had DFS called on her 4 or 5 times and every single time they investigated, she never had any food in the house except maybe crackers and ramen. The kids would come to my house and I would cook them all breakfast and between 3 little kids they would damn near eat an entire loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and a package of bacon. They would just eat and eat and eat like they hadn't seen a meal in weeks and didn't know when they would again. Keep in mind, this is all while my brother was in Afghanistan and Egypt for a year each place.
Sorry for shitty grammar and punctuation. I am so pissed about her moving her kids in with all these random men and convincing the little girl t call them daddy. Then she cheats and gets kicked out and repeat. These poor kids. I can't imagine that is good for their mental/emotional health.
Last night my H brought the little guy in the kitchen and told me to give him a kiss. Then he says if we don't have another one you won't get to do that anymore. He is trying to convince me we need a 4th, in case you couldn't tell.
I mentioned to my BF the other day that I'm really thinking 2 is good for us, and I offered DD's (M14) newborn clothes to a friend. My BF then started pulling stuff like this trying to convince me we need another. I said we should donate the unopened boxes of size nb and 1 diapers that are too small. They are now sitting in the closet 'just in case'. Once I said 2 was good, it confirmed for him that he wants a third. We'll see.
ady45, she sounds like a piece of work. I am sorry that you, your brother and those kids have to deal with this. Is your brother still deployed? Can he ask the court for full custody?
Too many to tag, but I hope everyone's day gets better. Seems like a crappy one for a lot of us. So I'm sending good vibes for sick parents, sick babies, tired mamas, and let's all just go to back to bed and call it Friday lol. I've been up since the 3am feeding and I'm working until 6 to make up hours. DH is bringing home Chinese food because I'll be lucky to stay awake until then.

Well, she had been seemingly better for a while. She was holding down a job and living in the same place for more than 6 months. Since he was still officially in the army for the last year, they were trying to just agree to the split custody and go to the judge so it was official. Now that he is out of the army and with all this crap, I think he is. She is facing felony charges for forging her boyfriends name on checks. So hopefully this works in his favor. This girl had been unbelievably lucky as far as getting away with all this shit. Like DFS never did anything even though there was undeniable proof. Among other things.
motownthrowdown I don't know. She can seriously get away with anything. She had a domestic altercation and she got shot in her vag by her live in boyfriend because she was cheating. The kids were thankfully at daycare. Seriously, I want to know how that itself didn't at least raise some questions about her parental decision making. She pucks all these lose men to move in with. I wish I could do something to help.
I'm close to giving up on my child ever actually sleeping in her crib. Literally 10-20 mins tops for naps today... and it takes me that long to get her in there in the first place. I just put her in the swing so she can get at least one good nap in today. I tried for over two hours last night before just bringing her to bed with me. And then she slept terribly anyway. I'm so, so tired and none of the housework is getting done.

She got shot in the vagina?!??!!? Like with a gun? Is she still able to walk? That's so intense!
lemon200 yes. Went in through the labia and out her butt cheek. She can still walk. She was dating this guy (druggie) and he caught her cheating. She originally told us she did it her self. She said she was climbing in her boyfriends truck and was moving his gun a d it went off. Then she finally admitted to my mom what really happened.
I'm having a hard time keeping up on here! Haven't had a chance to read all the randoms yet. B slept 9:30-4:35 then 5:30-8 in bed with us. Yay!
B had a checkup this morning, we have a perfectly heathy, very average (sized) little boy. H and I both got flu and tetanus shots. Then H got his blood pressure checked... I'm seeing more veggies and less salt in our future.

Woah, I thought you meant shot in the vagina like a metaphor... But she literally was shot in the vagina. How many people can actually say that (not that anyone would want to)?
ady45 I'm sorry for you and her children, she sounds toxic
@missava387, happy anniversary! ours was Saturday and we celebrated with a screaming and crying fussy pants baby from his 2 months shots that were on Friday. As a matter of fact, he is still a fussy pants baby from his shots. I am glad you got to enjoy your lunch!!! And fx that your lo stays calm and sleeps it off!!
bcmomsaysso, the crib is a constantly losing battle for us too...wide open eyes the second I lay her down even if she is passed out. Do they make toddler and teenager sized RnPs? That may be in our future...
