Saturday Randoms?

How you doin'?

[smalltownmoon]

LO decided 4AM was a great time to give mommy a personal concert over the monitor. Rather than go back to sleep like a normal person, I stayed up and did some cleaning. My dad is coming over in a few hours and while I loooove my papa (seriously, he's incredible), I always have the worst anxiety about how messy our house is. It's stupid because am married, own my house, have a career and a baby but I still die a little inside when he decides to start organizing my cupboards or grabs the vacuum to clean up dog hair (he has a hard time just relaxing so visits to see LO typically end in him picking a project at my house.) I should be grateful (and I am) but mostly it makes me feel kind of inadequate as a grown up, lol. Oh well, there are worse problems in life!

[esmerelda]

smalltownmoon Your dad sounds like my grandpa. I'd be willing to bet it makes him happy, whether its because he really likes cleaning or if he's trying to convince himself you still need him

[esmerelda]

I drank an entire bottle of wine last night. I mean I basically cleaned the entire apartment so it was deserved but I have a headache now.

I'm such a lightweight- even the thought of this makes me drunk.

Going grocery shopping soon. Running to Target, too. Need coffee.

Haha well if it makes you feel better it was technically only 2 glasses I drank. I got caught up in the drinking thread over on parenting so I was up way to late as well lol

We are just living under eternal snowfall here. Another 10 inches or so today and everything is shut down. We had a storm Tuesday-Thursday too. And now we're stuck at home since everything is closed.

[TheEleventhHour]

Still in bed. Need coffee.

We are grocery shopping today because between the Pats in the Super Bowl and another foot of snow predicted for Monday it will be too much of a shit show to go tomorrow.

Otherwise I will be studying. I actually have a test date for the NCLEX now so I should probably take it more seriously.

Last night I dreamt that I was having sex with DH and his brother. DH does not have a brother by the way. I also dreamt that DH and I were trying to catch a flight in Heathrow airport in London and he got distracted by a bowling alley. Apparently he's a really good bowler in my dreams too. What a weird way to wake up.

My MIL does this. It drives me crazy. With every "project" she does it is like she is saying you are not good enough for my son.

[esmerelda]

I'm taking DD to bounce magic in a few hours. I need to get it together and shower.

[namastebiotches]

DS got up at 8 this morning but was up a couple of times through the night due to his coughing. He seems better with that than yesterday, still loads of energy.
DH wanted to take him to the store with him but I told him it's probably best if he stays home to stay away from potentially more germs.
After that, DH has plans to scrub the tub. There's paint(?) peeling a little so he's going to see if he can take it completely off & then do some touch up caulking.
Not much planned today.

[lainikins]

I was woken up last night at 3:30 by my 2.5 year old walking into our room saying, "I have big gas. I need diaper change." To which I relpied,"If it is gas, you don't need a new diaper. Go back to your bed." Whelp, that was not the answer he was looking for. I ended up changing his gas diaper and gave him a fresh one. He needs to go back to sttn. At least last night was only one wake up. We were averaging 4 wake ups last week.

[stellabunny]

And I'm almost done with that nearly 700 page book I got about Jim Jones and The People's Temple! It's like, the first adult book I've read since I had a kid.

[penguin129]

The neighbors were at it again last night. I can't believe how loud they are, well how loud she is. I can't believe they aren't worried about the noise. I guess they are enjoying themselves too much.

Have you tried sleeping with white noise? A fan, perhaps?

[dmlk413]

DD started making noise at 5 and was ready to be up at 6. It's raining so I'm not sure if we'll get out of the house or not. Might have to go to the library and let her run around.

[skategirl128]

I'm cleaning this morning while SO is in class. Then we will go out to lunch and to target to get supplies for a diaper cake I'm making for a shower I'm going to. My big project this weekend is to tackle the master bedroom as a part of the 14 week challenge I'm doing. I'll probably take lots of proboards breaks though!

I always have the fan on. The problem is I need it to be almost 100% quiet to sleep. I had to take the batteries out of the one clock because the ticking gave me a hard time falling asleep.

My MIL wont do projects but has no shortage of "ideas" for what we should do with our 75yr old home. Apparently DH and I either bought the world's shittiest house or she thinks we're made of money for renovations. She also thinks I need to do one of those HGTV shows and use my sick kid (spoiler: she has CF, she is NOT sick!!!) so they pick us. W.T.F. 

(I have a lot of feelz about my MIL, sorry)

[TheEleventhHour]

lildis I am watching Parenthood with DH and I go "Shows like this make me want a bigger family but I know it isn't real life and is romanticized" and DH goes "We can have more if you want". OMG. I need him to be 100% OAD to reign me in from my crazy thoughts of more kids! What is he doing?!

[penguin129]

I'm loving the Throws Glitter!

[namastebiotches]

I'm annoyed my check didn't get dropped off last night. I don't know if I should txt again & look desperate or just wait until Monday.

That would drive me bananas. Were you or him mostly oad or both on the fence?

We were both OAD before DS was even born. Once I told him I was sitting on the fence and he firmly said no. Now he's apparently open to the idea. What the heck man!

It will probably never happen but like I said the other day I know I will personally never be 100% done until the age gap between DS and a hypothetical second is too big. I'm a big weirdo. 

[stally77]

DS has been up since 6:30. Star Wars (cartoon) is parenting, and coffee is my friend. We have a birthday party for my cousin's daughter today at Chuck E Cheese. We have been able to avoid Chuck for almost 4 years, my kid will never want to leave. Drinks will be had when we get home.

I'm sitting with DS while he watches TV and nagging him to blow, not sniff. Ugh, it's driving me crazy.

Been there, done that. DS was so good at blowing for a while & it seems like when he has more than the usual amount of boogies, he forgets & sniffs in. Ugh

[TheEleventhHour]

Apparently I am public enemy #1 with my toddler because I won't let him dump milk I his shoes and play with the toilet brush.

Pro to having my mom live with us: we get to go grocery shopping alone!

[waffles]

DS is sick again. He's got a fever. He came home from school yesterday, declared he was sick, crawled into my bed and slept for 3 hours.

DP called her mom yesterday and found out she has pneumonia. MILs doctor told her she needed to go to the hospital and be admitted. MIL refused. GMIL was so worried about MIL yesterday because MIL was having a really hard time breathing. DPs aunt passed away about 15 years ago from congestive heart failure and now DP is terrified her mom is going to die from fluid on the lungs. MIL is so damn stubborn.
