haha, yes.  I have definitely dropped a phone on a baby while nursing more times than I can probably remember!

Well, today I let M fall down the stairs while I was holding her hand into a friend's basement. She cried forever and everyone was worried about her, but I think it was just panic.

It's so terrible and I know it, but I keep judging the crap out of my SIL. Not that she knows, of course. I'm trying really hard to keep my "let me tell you everything I know" to myself while still trying to help when she asks. It's hard. She was super-mad because no one (like the hospital nurses) told her about the second night when the babies "wake up," so I'm trying to make sure she knows about some stuff without throwing everything on her. She was stressing about her supply, so I sent her a couple links from Kelly Mom.

But her H is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow and it took everything in my power not to ask if they had completely lost their minds.

DH hates mushrooms. I have asked if I could make recipes that used cream of mushroom soup (because the mushrooms are tiny) and he said no.

Well, a couple months ago I tried a crock pot beef stew recipe that uses cream of mushroom soup. It all cooks together to make a gravy and you can't even tell that the soup is in there. I didn't tell him and he loves it. Trying to decide if I should tell him or not....

[sjames2015]

Kleigh. I hate mushrooms as well. And the ones in cream of mushroom soup are too big for me. Haha. However there are a few recipes that I can eat it in. But I can not make it as I will spend entirely too long taking them all out. The same goes for onions and seasonings.

[dc2london]

Kleigh i would totally do something like that and just blend the soup

[dc2london]

I may have confessed this last week bc it actually happened last week, but we were at the grocery store and my barely 2 year old shouted, "Wine! Look wine! Mummy! Mummy wine!" Yeeeeeeep.

[dc2london]

Also I occasionally want a glass of wine at dinner and I let the kids have sparkling cranberry juice watered down with club soda and tell them it's a special dinner

[holly321]

Dh dislikes mushrooms, and onions. I always hide them. Oddly enough, he likes chicken liver, so if he questions mushrooms, I usually tell him it is chicken liver.

And about dropping stuff on babies, I got maoke syrup on both my kids in the hospital.

Due to some possible bcp issues, it is slightly possible I am pregnant. I am now breaking out, and falling asleep about 2 hours before I normally would, so dh wants me to take a test. I would be thrilled, dh will freak, so I don't want to. I highly doubt I am KU. But, I still have my hopes up. Fffc, I am considering taking a test, and not telling dh. I got to butter him up first.

I am thinking that I might not throw my son a 2nd bday party. I am thinking of taking him to the train station in the day, they have model trains he would love. Then having dinner, cake, and presents with just our family, and grandpa. I really think he would have just as much fun, if not more, and his grandpa is the only family around.

[ericalee27]

My FFFC - it's only 9:20am and I've been crying all morning Today is DS2's last day at his in-home day care and he starts at our regular center (where DS1 is) on Monday. I'm terrified about the transition!!!!!

To me, that sounds like a perfect birthday for a two year old.

[singingsea]

Last weekend we were running errands and we drove through Tim Horton's. I got an iced cappuccino and DS saw it and started screaming "DRINK!" He ended up having a quarter of my beverage. It's ok because it's more ice cream than coffee right?

[2moms2be]

I am supposed to be watching my spending right now as we have to pay for the boys birthday party tomorrow but I really wanted a good lunch. I text DW and asked her if I could buy lunch for myself and one of my teammates.. she said sure. Well its all for me lol.

Confession #2 (I have a lot I can confess) I have a small amount of cash on me that I have had for a few weeks now and I haven't told DW. Someone paid me back for something in cash and yup it's still sitting in my wallet.

*** I need to note that DW is not controlling of our finances but she does manage them all and I like it that way. I honestly have no clue how much money we have or don't have (hell I barely know what my paychecks are half the time) so that is why she asks me to be careful at certain times and gives me free reign others. It's better that I don't know as I would probably do something stupid like spend it lol.***

I always ask dh if I can buy lunch too, as he does the money, so I get it, but have gotten strange looks when I say it.

[laketide]

I'm jealous of both of you!! I'm the one that does all of our money. DH has no idea what we have or don't so I'm the one always getting texts asking.

[sagen]

I bought a shirt from Target when I had my son with me and I didn't want to try it on. I wore it the next day and it fit OK, but I wasn't in love with it. Changed out if it after wearing it a few hours and took it back. It was clean, and I showered so it wasn't that bad...but yeah I totally wore than returned!

Yes I am a responsible adult but we would be living under an overpass if I managed our money.  I just do not have the knack for that at all.  Plus DW is a controller/finance manager so it just makes sense. That's my logic anyways lol.  I am the last person you want managing your money.

singingsea At least it was coffee. We were at a restaurant a bit ago and the table next to us ordered beer. E spotted those bottles and started screaming, "beer, beer, beer!"

lol oh Kieran knows what beer is...and wine. He's will bring me wine if we're at someone's house. Glass or bottle. I'm a lush apparently.

[kleigh926]

trichie5 's baby is only a month older than DS and now I'm thinking about what it would be like if I would get pregnant again in the next couple months.... at first I was terrified but now the idea is growing on me. Oh boy.

[rosebean]

Long story: our dog has been a beast lately. We just got home from our trip and DH was BBQing in the back yard and had the dog out there with him. Well, he slipped through the back gate and attacked another dog (owner had the dog on a leash). DH called him, but had to physically remove him from the other dog because he was ignoring him. I've been warning him about this for weeks, as this isn't the first time he has ignored me, has even ran past me when I've brought him in from outside and out onto the front yard to do this with other dogs (although, he's never attacked like this before). There was no damage, but she sent over Animal Control. Now we have a fine for not licensing him. The guy was going to give me a warning, then at the last moment, his old twat waffle of a partner piped up and was all like "we have a no tolerance policy. We need to write you ticket". Ugh.

So now, here's where the FFC part comes in. We now have a plan to buy a long leash and he will get clipped up at the door, and it won't let him reach the back gate. It also won't let him reach the front yard. My dad and I were talking about it, and he's agreeing this is a fail safe to protect people and their dogs walking by in the future (my dad worked for Police K9 as their head trainer, so I trust his advice). I honestly can't wait for the time to come when our dog gets tuned in by the leash. I know him. He will take off, running at full speed, and that leash will yank him back. We will always have it on him, no matter if he learns to respect it. I don't want anyone hurt. But I really hope I am there to watch him figure it out. Jerk.

Please jump on this band wagon so I don't feel like such a freak! I cannot believe it has happened. ::facepalm::

(But really, do it when it's *right*, not because I don't want to be dumb).

One of my best friends from college has a 6 month old and is 8 weeks pregnant.  You are not a freak!

This is our arrangement too.  I just told DH the other night I am glad I don't know exactly how much we make, because then I would start having opinions on "why can't we buy this/do this/etc."  It's better if he lets me know when to cut back or if I want something beyond my monthly stipend we can talk about it.

Our caseworker picked my 2.5 up for a visit yesterday. She pulled into burger King to get him some chicken nuggets for lunch and he pointed next dor to zaxbys and said no I want THAT chicken.

Mother of the year award...at least he has good taste?

[wolfpack]

I might have drunk half a bottle champagne tonight. It was unopened in the fridge since new year and was just taking up space....so I figured I clean out the fridge.
Also I'm super class drinking out of a pint glass

I have an ear infection and it is miserable. I totally understand now why little kids get cranky when they get them. I don't bother for low grade fevers or teething, generally, but the next time one of my kids gets an ear infection, I will drug them up out of compassion.

This was a regular occurrence while nursing. I also dropped food on his head several times. I suck at multitasking  

[expatmama]

None of my kids had a comfort object. No pacifiers, no particular stuffed animal, blanket or anything. But lately DS insists on taking his toys to bed with him, typically whatever car he was playing with before bed, and often he smuggles things (he is expert at palming stuff) -- we find the weirdest things in his crib. I don't care, as long as he gets to sleep.
