I have a little rant today and it will make me sound like an uber bitch.
My parents live in the same town as us and help me out so much, so I feel guilty when I get frustrated but it happens. Mom just came to pick up my son because he wants to go do some stuff with a friend. She was in the house for less than 5 minutes before she started drilling me with questions she has asked me numerous times before. "Have you cleaned up the drywall out by the trash can yet? It looks horrible." "When are you taking the play kitchen to the neighbors house?" I told her that I was working on it and she kept going. I finally said, "What does it matter? It isn't affecting you." She then asked me what I was planning to do today and I told her I was planning to get the house clean. She said, "You say that every weekend and it hasn't happened yet." I lost it and I told her if she couldn't be supportive to just not say anything. I shouldn't have snapped at her, but I don't have much patience right now. She was a super mom who had a spotless house. My house is never spotless no matter how hard I try. Grrrr...I am just frustrated because she is pointing out things that I need to get done, but damn, I realize they aren't done and it frustrates the hell out of me.
BTW, while I was typing this she called and apologized for nagging and said she should have just kept her mouth shut.
Our moms sound exactly the same. She's so darn helpful and everything but also overly involved with everything. She'll call and text me to ask if I've done things I need to get done already and nag how I need to get on top of it. Or she likes to come over and look over my messy counters and say how she needs to move away from it before she starts cleaning because she can't stand the clutter. *eye roll*
OMG! Yes!!! This is my mother exactly! I know she means well but it makes me crazy. The upside is that if there is anything I haven't done before I go into labor, she will do it while I'm in the hospital because she won't be able to tolerate the baby coming home to a dirty house.

Thanks to you ladies talking earlier, I found out that the Once Upon a Child by my house was doing infant clearance for $1 so I went and got a bunch of stuff. Now to wash it all...

Love once upon a child for buying. Hate it for selling.
lotsofdotts haha my mother has already said that she's going to help me clean the house when the baby is born. Mostly because it's too dirty for her liking to bring a newborn home too. Does your mom take over all the time too? Half the time her helping me becomes her taking over because she doesn't like how I'm doing it.
Cinnamon streusel muffins (box mix) are in the oven. I pulled some boneless skinless chicken breasts out of the freezer. Now I just need to decide what to do with them. The grocery list is started. I'm feeling good about it only being 736am.
In Japan, toilet seats are a status symbol, so everyone has heated seats with bidet and fan options. It's awesome. You can purchase them here, but you have to find an Asian store. I'm considering it for postpartum
I want one. I loved the nice clean feeling while visiting Japan and that they were everywhere, including public toilets.
My sister sent this to me. At least we will all beat Jessica Biel to the delivery room!
Maybe this is nuts but when I showed H I told him I wanted to take a photo exactly like it. He laughed and said I was obsessed with JT. Well, yeah.
I'd love a photo like that, except I'd have to conceal my forest of stretch marks. I'm jealous of her lack of stretch marks or the photoshopping of them out.

Yes! We definitely have the same mom! I love her but she is nuts!
