So generally I pride myself on being a strong, independent kind of woman, but SH cleared his car off this morning and didn't touch mine and I'm super annoyed. He was already dressed, already had all the shovels and scrapers, and (most importantly) was not responsible for a toddler at that point. Now I am desperately trying to get LO to nap so I can go out there, and of course he won't sleep unless es on me. if the wind chill wasn't below 0 (F) I would just suit him up, but it's too cold and the snow is super deep. Argh! Stupid husband.

I'd be pissed too. It's not anything to do with you, it's common courtesy!
I leave first in the morning, DH is responsible for getting DD ready in the morning and taking her to DC. I would never consider clearing off his car before I go. Luckily he usually parks in the garage.

Ugh, I'd be mad too. Do you have a front window that he would watch you from? I sometimes do that with M when I have to get things from the truck or brush off the snow. I lock the baby gates, there is really nothing she can get into to injure herself, and even if there was it wouldn't matter. She watches so intently at the window. I wave to her and make silly faces while I'm doing whatever I need to do. If she disappears from the window I just come back in and finish later. But that happens so rarely. Usually all I have to do is ask her to go watch me at the window. She runs over, I walk out of the house. She bangs of the window, laughs and waves. As long as I can see her, I know she's safe. And it allows me to get those things done when it's either too cold or too much hassle to bring her out with me.
momofcatan my department factors in commute for certain positions because people tend to not last long.
They were worried about me 1 hr 15 minutes usually with traffic but I bought my house when I worked down the street from my current job. It can get grating at times but for me at least, I've been doing it for so long it's fine. And I also don't mind driving most days.
UO? I take care of the majority of my car maintenance on my own. Filling my tires, washer fluid, checking the oil, etc. Those aren't things I would ever expect DH to check, or leave for him to do if i noticed they had to be done. He does do most of our oil changes on all 3 vehicles, but if mine comes due and I know he'll be busy I just take it somewhere in town and get it done while I'm running errands. It would have never crossed my mind to leave it for him to do later.
I'm caught up!!! For this weeks spam. Lol Hugs to everyone who needs them. subliminalrabbit I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and uncle. We are in the middle of moving and everything is in boxes. Movers come tomorrow and then we're staying at my in-laws a week before we head up to our new location. Still on the wait list for housing. It's kinda stressful to be moving and not have a house to move to.

You guys are all in my head about the chicken and dumplings. I want to make that this week! But I use my MIL's recipe. Nothing fancy, but I'm not about to change it up on Dr. Stargazer. Dammit! I should have bought Bisquik while I was out today. Shit.
So my kid won't eat slices of banana or a chunk that I break off, But if I give her the whole banana with the peel pulled back just a little she will crush the whole thing. She's weird.
E was like that for months. Now he's less picky about it, but definitely prefers big chunks to little slices.
The car is cleared and moved. I don't mind doing it myself, but if the roles were reversed, and he had been in the house with a toddler who was up since 5:30, I would have cleared off his car.
I love the idea of chicken and dumplings, but not the texture of dumplings. So I usually make the chicken/veggies/gravy part and then make biscuits in the oven to go with it. This is my go to biscuit recipe, I do it all in the food processor and it's so quick! www.budgetbytes.com/2010/07/basic-biscuits/

My kid definitely prefers whole fruits and veggies. He'll take big bites out of whole bell peppers and likes to walk around the house crunching on whole cucumbers (I get the mini ones). He gets so pissed that he can't eat a banana that way!!! He'll insist he wants a banana, fusses until I get one for him, and then freaks out when I start to peel it and tries to eat the part that isn't peeled yet - yuck!

I completely understand what you're saying. I think it's also the thought of "hey you husband, think about doing something nice for me once in a while, without me asking you to do it"

It's a beautiful day here, so E and I went to the park for a couple of hours this morning with my mommy friend and her little boy. It felt SO GOOD to get out in the sun. Did me a world of good.
Now I'm looking forward to catching up on business news and reading a "how to make an effective sales pitch in this day and age" book (To Sell Is Human). With a cup of tea and some chocolate. Mmm...

Also: Is there a growth spurt around now? E ate like half a chicken breast last night (and he normally doesn't eat chicken) and ate two lunches today...

I need to remember never to acknowledge any halfway-decent sleep out loud. Fucking third attempt at getting her to sleep more than 5 minutes for her nap.
For 6 years I had a 35 to 50 minute commute and it was awful. I never felt connected to where I worked and if there was something going on at night like open house I ended up staying the whole day. My school now is 10 minutes from home, and it's perfect. I actually feel connected to the school and it's nice to not have so much of my day wasted driving. When we move in a few years we will likely move even closer.
