Tuesday... let's go back to bed... randoms 1/5

[stinybean]

Ok so this for me is really a FFTC: J was sleeping on her belly against the side of her crib & this still makes me nervous even though she can flip back and forth now. But she's in a sleep sack, so in my mind that makes it harder because her legs aren't as free, even though they have plenty of room. So, I decided to flip my sleeping baby back onto her back. Well checking on her minutes later her eyes were wide open & since I had to leave I quickly ran away & left. FX that she went back to sleep & DH doesn't kill me later.

P.S. Sorry for the run-on sentences.

[erbear]

It's super cold out so I think we'll be staying home until we meet MIL for dinner. She has a doctor's appointment around here and then she's driving two and a half hours home instead of staying over, which is crazy.

LO was up three times last night. H let me sleep in a bit but I'm exhausted.

[billyhorrible]

Joolschweets I'm not a huge fan of coffee or Starbucks, so take this with a grain of salt, but the skinny vanilla latte is my go-to when I'm there.

[Bluedaisy]

Joolschweets, go for shaken iced tea lemonade and if you want it even lower calorie ask for half sweet. So good!

The 6 month check in is buried so... yesterday we went for LOs apt and the doctor said everything looked great. He was not concerned at all the LO is on the small side (16 pounds 10 ounces) or that he isn't rolling from back to front. He said he was the healthiest baby he'd done a check up on that day.

It was pretty cute when LO decided to try rip the stethoscope off of him.

[jessila]

LO was only up 3 times last night which was much better than I had anticipated. He was screaming at 2am so I gave him more tylenol. FX that he's teething and it will be over soon. He was such a mess last night and the night before. Hopefully my students won't be able to tell that I was up extra last night. Usually they just look at me and know.

It's freaking cold today. The windchill currently takes it down to 1. Where is my snow?

[jessila]

My sister just texted me to say she, her GF, and her employee are all sick. She watched LO on Sunday and he's been a mess since. *insert not amused GIF bc I can't GIF*

N gets the second part of her flu shot today. Other than that, grocery shopping and just hanging out with N are on the schedule for the day. Excited because we haven't had a day with just her and I in a while because of the holidays.

This sounds like part of my day yesterday.
Today plans include straightening up the kitchen, unpacking a couple boxes, painting 2nd coat in dining room and finally heading to work after lunch for a couple hours. (We'll see what C actually lets me accomplish today!) Oh I need to call and get our internet set up and call our home warranty people about our washer.
What I really want to do is snuggle up in the couch with C and read/watch movies all day.

Tmi Tuesday? I had to shit as soon as I got out of the shower. Hate hate hate when that happens!

Just a regular Tuesday over here. Hope it stays that way.

H and I call that an "ASS". After Shower Shit. So not cool.

[tiffbot]

DD definitely did NOT STTN last night.

I feel crampy. I haven't gotten my period back yet. So we'll see where this leads.

Taking the kids to a 2 year old's birthday party this morning, which should be fun. Just a casual play date out at a friend's farm.

I have a hair appt this afternoon! Yay! I haven't had it coloured since DD was born and I'm ready for a change up!

In short, bleh to being Tuesday, but it should be a good day. Barring how my hormonal self holds up, ha.

[dmoney]

DD normally goes to my MIL's on Tuesdays. well late last night she texted us and asked if we wanted her to come to us since it is currently only 13 degrees out.. I asked DH he said sure. I just got a text message of him bitching at me for changing plans when he has a job interview this morning. 1st of all F off ass, i asked you not my fault if you didnt really think about it. 2nd of all wake up earlier instead of sleeping until the baby wakes you up. I dont get to sleep in. 3rd of all at least you slept last night, at 11pm i rolled over and woke up to shooting pains in my back. Fell asleep at 3:30 after i settled the baby because she decided she wanted to wake up screaming and he said just let her cry it out, well she had a really dirty diaper so she wouldnt of gone back to sleep either way. Suck it up and get up get your self showered dont loll when you are reading the paper like you usually do and get both of you ready for the day... Its not that hard to do. I do it all the time why the F cant you?

Sorry i guess that was a rant im just tired and frustrated this am.

Joolschweets, you could do a latte with skim milk. That's my go to drink. For a little flavor you can add one or two pumps of a flavored syrup (as opposed to the full amount) or use the sugar free syrups.

I like their Skinny Vanilla Latte.
It's skim milk with a sugar free vanilla shot.

[trixi282]

dmoney, I hate when H complains about stuff like that.

Or when he misses shit because he's not responsible and then gets mad that I didn't baby him. About 3 weeks ago when he completely missed E's therapy because he was counting on our 3yo to wake him up... Her therapy was at 8am and he hadn't gotten anything ready the night before. I had left the house just before 7 and thought "I should probably wake him up before I go, I haven't heard his alarm yet." But since I had my coat and shoes on and was literally walking out the door when I thought it, I just left.... Got to work and texted him, then tried calling him... no answer (it was 7:30-ish by then). Yeah, he was still sleeping, and in order to drop off J (3yo) with FIL that morning he would have had to leave our house by then to get to therapy on time... he didn't even wake up until J got up at 8:15 - of course she chooses that day to sleep in past 7:00!!

But seriously, don't count on a 3yo to wake you up when you have to be somewhere by 8am, DUH!! If it was 10, sure... 9am, you're starting to press your luck; 8am, you're just being dumb.

[trixi282]

I did a box color on my hair Sunday night (it's been years since I colored my hair at all, even highlights)... the box said "Dark Golden Blonde" which was perfect, i thought, since I'm a dark blonde naturally and just wanted to enhance my color and give it a little boost to brighten it.

It turned out okay, but it definitely has more reddish undertones than I was expecting. It's golden, but almost a rose gold, haha! I feel like it should have said "Dark Strawberry Blonde".

It's pretty subtle - enough so that I'm pretty sure my H didn't even notice when he came home from watching the football game at his bro's. And no one at work said anything, but in certain light I'm like "whoa, my hair has red in it!"

It just pisses me off.  I get that he is unemployed and he is greatly depressed about it.  Tuesdays are his "free day" as he calls it.  He doesnt have to get up with the baby ( I 99% of the time do everything before leaving for work and taking her)  He gets to go see a movie, run errands or just relax all day.  Now today he does have 2 job interviews but dont have your alarm set for 8 when you know you have to be walking out the door by 10 to get there on time.  I dont get a free day on the weekend to just relax.  The few days that i have asked to have 2 hours to go get my nails done or go to the gym.  half way through i get a text message..When are you coming home?  Though when he wants to go to a baseball game with his dad, or watch his buddy wrestle in a minor league event and i ask when hes coming home the response is... when its over.  I cant wait for him to start working again. Please pray he gets the job he has an interview for today.

All of you with your first pp periods...I'm on period #5 since November 6th. Stupid body.

I, too, keep blaming my weight gain and bloat on all these periods.

I don't mean to rub it in-at all seriously-but..I've had 7 since November 2012! You've had almost as many as me in more than 3 years ha.

[wegrowsheep]

T kept we awake til 2 am. DS1 kept DH awake tiil probably 1, but he was up at 5 to work out anyways. I'm impressed. And really, really fucking tired.

[kemdupuis]

Joolschweets +1 for the skinny vanilla latte! It's so good!

[mrsdee1982]

Ya'll, help! I've fallen down the rabbit hole on Parenting. The Blind Item threads are EVERYTHING…

I'm going to have to cancel meetings today. Nothing else is getting done.

Just from the outside looking in because I don't know your exact situation, but it sounds like you two need to sit down and have a talk especially if you aren't happy with how things are going right now. To me, it sounds a little ridiculous that he does not work and also gets to have an entire day to himself and does not have to wake up with the baby. If he wants an entire day to himself, go for it, but I think you should get one too, or at least some time during the week to do things for yourself. 

Also - why can't MIL come to your house if he has an interview? Did I misread that he was upset about that?

100% agree. If he gets an entire day to himself, that would also mean that he's NOT taking time for himself any other day of the week (unlikely since unemployed). And you absolutely get a day to yourself if he does. Just turn your phone off.

So he has been scheduling things on Tuesday since when he was working it was always the plan for MIL to watch the baby on Tuesdays. He was upset because at 11:30 last night when his mom texted us and asked if we wanted her to come over instead of taking the baby out in such cold weather, but then last minute he changed his mind (aka at 8am this morning) about the baby going to her house like usual and I was already at work.  She was supposed to come to our house today because the wind chill was supposed to be super bad this morning so she didnt want us taking the baby out of the house at 7 am.
 
I do get to go to the gym after work when I want to but then i only have like 45 minutes with the baby before its time to put her to bed.  I know we need to sit down and talk because its not fair (he is very much actively looking for a job) but just because i am at work Monday- Friday that doesn't mean I am getting "me time".  Some times I just want an hour to go get my nails done or to just be by myself.  I dont think he realizes how much stress he puts on me when he makes some of the comments that he does.    

He didnt want her to come to the house today because its "a mess" as he put it.  There were two dishes in the sink and a bottle that I was soaking and to him that is a mess.  The deal has always been that if he cooks i do the dishes and vice a versa.  He made dinner last night so it was my job to clean the crock pot but it needed to be soaked.    

Let me know if that makes sense or if i need to reword it.

Last night I fell down the bottom of the stairs. I am pretty sure I thought I was at the end and missed a couple steps or something equally brilliant. I was holding the baby and luckily broke his fall so he was scared but otherwise totally fine. I landed very poorly on my foot (I think I kind of crunched it somehow) and now it is bruised and swollen and angry with me. I am walking like a moron but at least I didn't break the thing. I can't even begin to imagine how on earth I would get little one to daycare and myself to work regularly with a broken foot. Not to mention I ugly cried all over the place afterwards. DH told me it was fine and the baby was OK and I said "I have one job...sob...sob...to protect him! sob sob"

I haven't have a period yet but maybe it's coming...

Twinsies! We can limp together.

Seriously though, happy that baby was ok!

What is with a lot of us June 15ers falling down stairs? Be careful, people!

<----avoiding stairs at all costs

[billyhorrible]

stcyct , I hope your foot is better soon.

I honestly typed the last post to stiny...and then fell asleep. I think the lack of sleeping is catching up to me.

[Deleted]

I am sick. Again. WTMF is going on with my body. I was awake until 2 am coughing last night, got up with P at 2:30, Slept from 3:00-4:30, got up with him again and then coughed from 5:00-6:00. I got about an hour and a half total sleep. This shit has got to go away. For good. Like right. now.

We want to move to Maine to be closer to DH's family. I cannot stop looking a real estate porn and cannot believe how much more house we can get for our money there. As in sell our current house and be able to pay cash and have no mortgage there. It's all for naught since DS1's dad is here, but I can dream.

[erbear]

Yeah, I'm thinking I need to avoid my stairs today, or slide down on my butt or something...

So jealous, tiffbot. I was on B/C that I cycled through and had 4 periods a year pre-baby, and I miss that. I could handle that. This is getting to be too much. Unfortunately, I don't like the options my OB gave me.

Does your daughter go to daycare as well? Or am I mixing people up?

She is there 2 half days a week because we would of lose our spot but she is there in one afternoon and one morning so he takes her both days because Fridays there is a special program that parents are invited to, so he takes her when he goes to the program.  Daycares in our area are very hard to get into,  sometimes the waiting list is 6 months long so we couldnt take the chance of loose the spot, him getting a job and then being SOL in terms of child care. 

I take her to my MIL's on Tuesdays because I literally drive right past her house on the way into the office in the morning so its not like I am going 20 minutes out of my way and then back tracking.   I do pick her up on the days that I dont go to the gym, but most weeks he is picking her up on Mondays.

I've been sitting on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes now to find out why they haven't paid a hospital bill yet. I've been listening to the same song for 15 minutes. It sounds like something I would hear at a rave. I feel like in this day and age, there should be hold music options. "You're going to be on hold for 45 minutes. Press one to hear EDM. Press 2 for some Adele. Feeling a little bit country? Press 3. Or are you more rock 'n' roll? Press 4." Come on people, it's 2016! How is this not an option yet?!

We got our 6 month photos but the CD won't open. Boo!
