spurp13 people are always going to steal. Do not leave anything around. People would walk into my office, open my cabinets and steal candy. It was ridiculous!
Yeah, I normally keep a bowl of fruit on my desk. The day someone takes my apples is the day I go to security. I'm fucking serious.
We do have drawers we can lock, though, but not big enough for mah fruit.
This made me lol. Just put up a sign that says "get your own fucking apples!" And put it next to your fruit bowl.

TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
It was a horrible weekend. I didn't get my pictures taken because my mom came by and dropped the bomb that she wants to move to Arizona. Not only is she my only family here, but she's my child care half the week and my closest friend. I was heartbroken and didn't go get my pictures done. Just thinking about what this will do to DS breaks my heart even more.
And damn that Seahawks loss is a tough one to get over....
Oh no... when is she considering moving?
She's trying to sell her house right now so it could be in the next few months.
nicb13 I should have kept reading. Fuck dude. I'm so sorry.
So the sitter told us Friday that she has to go from watching the kids 3 days, to only watching them 1 day (we got one week's notice), then my mom drops this bomb, then I miss my photo shoot, then the fucking Seahawks lost. DH and I are seriously all fucked up now.
I just got on the scale with DD for a weight check. Our numbers were up so I was hoping it was from her. Nope, I gained and it looks like DD actually lost weight. I know it's not totally accurate but it's still a bit discouraging.

Oh my god. What a fucking shit storm. What kind of hours do you need someone for the kids?

Wow this sucks, I'm so sorry you have so much crazy/unexpected thrown at you. ::hugs::
My grandma who I'm really close to called my mom Friday night saying she couldn't breathe right. My mom rushed her to the hospital and she has pneumonia and her lips were blue. She was supposed to be released weds, but she's not doing well so they won't be releasing her. I'm so scared. I'm going to see her today and I'm terrified. My mom said to text her to amuse her, so I send her funny pictures of my dogs and kids, and she responds with nonsense. Ugh, life is so god damn unfair. Sorry to be the party pooper.
T & Ps for your grandma; hope she recovers quickly (((hugs)))

I think I missed the article. Was it here or on FB? I would like to send it to DH because I try to explain and he just says she will be fine. It makes me want to punch him in his face.
Fucking shit, did anyone else want to throw up themselves half way through this. I am overly emotional reading it I just can't. I almost cried. I can't stand the thought of a baby screaming like that.
I'm sorry. It sucks that those that have good moms have to go through things like this.
I don't know how close you are, but would her moving in with you be an option? Or, can you help her financially to stay?
We offered to have her move in but she said that would make her feel like a "failure", to have to live with your kids. I would never move away from here either. DH and I lived in CA for a few years and moved back to be near my mom!
I'm so sorry you are going through all of this That's a lot to deal with all at once! I know you said your mom would feel like a failure if she moved in with you but could you convince her that it would be mutually beneficial? That by moving in she'd really be helping you out rather than the other way around?
Okay, my take on TD O15 is there are at least two trolls who think that they are high-larious. One keeps talking about her cat and the other one keeps saying thy things are inappropriate.
I don't want to troll an already trolled board. :-\ That steals the fun.
Actually, I've never trolled, so maybe it doesn't matter? IDK.
I posted this in the MOTN thread, last night around 2:30am I saw DD awake in her monitor just quiet. When I walked into her room she was choking on her on her saliva. I do not know how I kept my cool but this morning when explaining to our nanny what happened I broke in tears. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I had not woken up. I want to think she would have started crying but who knows.

I only skimmed it and I definitely cried. Nope nope nope.

I would like to know who thought this was EVER a good idea and beat them. It was probably a man
nicb13, i am so sorry. I would be crushed if my mom moved far away. Why does she want to move?
She hates WA and is only here because of me and the kids. Her sister and brother live in Arizona and she can actually afford a house there. She isn't working because she has too many medical problems and when she turns 65 in a year, she loses a shit of money she's getting from the government.
She was crying, I was crying, I just didn't see this coming. I never, ever thought she would THINK about moving away and leaving me or the kids. She lives 5 minutes away from me and I literally have no other family near by. This blows.
I can't imagine. That is the worst. Hugs to you, lady. I hope she changes her mind.

I thought I was going to have a panic attack - which is the same exact feeling I get every time DH brings the topic up.

That is so scary. Thank goodness you checked on her!

OOF. Rough time. I feel you... I've been having all sorts of feelings about leaving C after everything we've been through. What really helped is that the same person who took care of our first son (from the time he was born until we lost him) is still at the day care. I trust her and she knows us and she knew J. So no "they are THAT family" feelings. Then she called last week and said she's moving to VA at the end of the month...
We now go to a place every day that makes us sad and miss J and our reasons for doing so don't really apply anymore.
And this morning, as if my paranoia about it all isn't enough, the only mother that I recognized totally avoided me.

I just told my H about the article. He said we will get through this together. I told him there is nothing to get through. I will NEVER let our daughter or future children cry like that to the point of exhaustion. I would rather be up ALL damn night comforting them if I have too. I will not and cannot with the CIO
Edit - he responded back and said we would get through the lack of sleep together - not crying it out, that we would not do that. THANK GOD he is on the same page!
