Ouch @bubbs119 . Hope little N is improving.

7.37am Friday here. I'm chained to the laundry already. My slacking this week has caught up with me big time.

I'm jealous that you're in Friday already....I'm so done with today...

I'm all smug because we're on Friday and you're all on Thursday but tables are well and truly turned on my Monday when you all are enjoying Sunday!

Haha! I guess that's true

tiffbot my H eats apple cores...shudder (hope you find it). Also with you on thinking there was more time til DS. When I was filling out our calendar I was like what, no way he's going to be 3 in July. But lo and behold.

currently in nap jail. Took the kiddos to an air & space museum and they're sleeping in the van. DS refused his nap yesterday and I don't intend to carry him up to the 3rd floor to his bed. Un

Bluedaisy the LT was just so you know that I wake up every day with a greasy pony tail, ok pants, and (nursing)tank without a bra. Ain't no shame in my game.

ETA- pj pants not okay pants...when I wear pants they're never just "ok"..duh. Always exceptional.

@jemomma, I was totally thinking I needed a drinking thread tonight. DH is working his 5th night in a row and I'm DONE being solo parent for bedtime AND morning duty!!

[kemdupuis]

So so sorry, holliberry28

DH works 12 hour days, 5 days a week so my only play [work] time lately is either after bedtime or weekends when he's home. Because my child has gone from chill and lax to ZOMG HOLD ME, LOOK AT ME, LET ME PINCH YOU and it's impossible to get any thing done during the day.

We have the same life! This stage sucks and doing it solo all the time makes it even worse.

That sucks! When dies he return to normal hours? Or does he?

He is off Friday Saturday and Sunday and then goes back tonight's again just in time for Monday. For whatever reason his boss scheduled a majority of evenings and nights this month.

I did the sex tonight. It wasn't so bad.

Anyone else?

[fatmilkisdelish]

I'm kind of depressed. I bought cream line milk today (it's local, pasteurized, but not homogenized) and was so pumped up thinking it would be the most delicious milk ever. I bought 2 half gallons! It has a grassy kind of taste to it. The consistency is AMAZING, but the taste is just not what I had hoped it would be. ):

[fatmilkisdelish]

carolyngrace I did last night... It was good because I'm on my period (like barely any bleeding though) didn't have to use a condom! Woohoo!

[carolyngrace]

fatmilkisdelish, LOLing at you posting about delicious milk considering your screen name! Personally, I don't think you can get better than a regular glass of ice cold 2% milk

[erbear]

carolyngrace - plans for the weekend when I finally stop this period!

We did 2 nights ago. I'm always into it once we get going, but I never have the interest beforehand.

I think I need to think of it like exercise and just make myself initiate it more often.

Usually I'm into it once we get going, too, but this week it's been total "work". My body is just NOT responding. WTF. But naked cuddling afterwards was nice. And the look on his face when he realized I wasn't going to shut him down for the 10th night in a row. 

That being said, I try to initiate at least once/week. Usually it's good once we get going!

[beersandweirs]

FFThC: we haven't had sex for like 3 or 4 weeks. I know there are people that have gone longer, but it's still a while.

carolyngrace dairy is my religion.

Gurl, you know I get mine on the reg.

LOL That hashtag could totally mean the opposite. In fact, I feel like it probably means zero sex for most people. You're impressive!

Last week we DTD every day (we made it a goal to do that because well it's never happened before). Last night I finally got DHs Christmas present (lingerie) so we did and had fun and 2 nights ago we attempted but neither of us finished. My guess is nothing will be happening tonight (DH is currently in with screaming baby)

How do you think she got the 3 kids?! Badumcha! (Have a friend with 4u4 and they went on a date when the youngest was like 6 weeks old and people were joking saying #5). I've also hear pastors with lots of kids say "I don't have X amount of kids because I like kids I have them because I love my wife"

Man...we need to...maybe if DS goes down easily I'll initiate...

[hannahl201477]

I'm so glad someone brought up sex... On Tuesday and Thursday's Mal goes to MDO so I can get shit done. My husband owns a body shop. I called him at lunch today and told him I had lunch made for him. When he got here I was totally working some lingerie. Lunch break was a little long today.

Wow, every night. Well done. The only time we've done that is TTC. And even then I think we missed a night. Does DTD mean actual sex to you? There's no way my vagina could handle that.

Yes actual sex. (Oral doesn't happen but maybe 1-2x/year since I'm not a huge fan) I will say 2 or 3 nights DH didn't finish (1 night we got interrupted). Sadly (or thankfully) DH doesn't usually last long...). We had tried before but usually 3 or 4 days in a row and my lady bits are like nope, nope, nope.

ombradellarosa are you ok? Come back with an update please

Thanks for thinking of me. I think it's sweet, not creepy. Especially when you have something so exciting happening for yourself! Congratulations!

I actually am relatively together right now. My SILs came over and went to work on our apartment and I was astounded how much we got done between the four of us (including DH). They basically nope-topussed the whole furniture-in-the-middle-of-the-room thing and it's so nice to live in a home instead of a storage unit. They trucked the boxes out of here so my bathtub is empty for the first time in baby's life! Pre- or post-natal. And they are so wonderful, they each took laundry home for us to wash and sort. Plus one of them said she has weekends off and she will watch the baby for me for a few hours. Come get her and drop her off. Totally amazing. On top of that, I finally went to see the maternal mental health specialist last week. She signed me up for the 16-week Nurturing Parenting class that started today. She said we were going to work on all aspects of getting me better, so the class is to teach me helpful techniques to avoid the pitfalls of my parents, I'll keep working with my therapist on past issues and she will help me moving forward. Next week we are going to prioritise steps to improve my medical and financial situation. Speaking of my therapist, I got a letter in the mail at Christmas that was a long list of all the sessions we've had that I owe her for, crossed out. "Merry Christmas! You are now my pro bono patient." It was amazing. I cried. 

So basically, it's all coming together. And that's great and I'm trying so hard to be happy. It feels incredibly ungrateful not to be when I have so much support and help that I've been needing so long. Including June 15, so thanks for that

I'm so glad you're doing well, ombradellarosa!
