TheTuna15 it would be weird except the kids who live near us have parents who do absolutely no looking after their kids. I am tired of living in the ghetto.

Ugh. I'm sorry. That's just awful. MH are basically struggling to keep this house going until he gets his raise in July because both of us refuse to go back to the ghetto. It's fucking rough living in a crappy neighborhood.

We bought a new truck today. I hate spending $.

[mcktymck]

ellebelle uhhh that would have made me nervous too! That whole situation is so odd, from your realtor letting him walk into your house, to him coming back so late at night.

Sitting here waiting during my GTT. I cannot stop burping from this orange drink!

Oh and I have to tell you ladies. I got like no sleep last night because I was so worried someone was going to break in to our house last night. We had an open house yesterday and apparently the agent who was doing the showing (not our regular realtor) let this neighborhood kid into the house. We only found out because last night at 9pm the kid knocked on our door and was like so I was over here earlier today and I was in your basement looking at your video games and I want to know what those ones were etc. I was like um what? Then he kicked our lock box on our front step and was like there's a key in there. I asked him if he had a question and he said no so I said okay well it's 9 at night and we're eating dinner so bye. I mean wtf?!? Why did the realtor think it was okay to let this 11 year old kid into our house? He's clearly not going to buy the damn place! I emailed our realtor upset about it and she looked into it for us but wasn't overly apologetic. I am so fucking done with this process!

Wut. I would flip my shit on that realtor. That's like being an accessory to trespassing? In making stuff up but seriously. Se had absolutely NO right to do that. I'd be changing realtors.

[tootsie]

I'd be super pissed ellebelle, I'm sorry that happened. He probably lives in the neighborhood, right? Have you seen him before?

Grumble #2, I wore the wrong pair of underwear with my dress and have had a giant wedgie ALL DAY LONG. I'd be better off commando at this point.

A massage school nearby is looking for volunteers to come in and have their students practice prenatal massage on, I decided to sign up for it. It'll be the day after my baby shower so I figured I'll probably be sore and tired, why not get a free 1.5 hour massage! I'm sure it won't be nearly as peaceful/relaxing as a usual one, but as long as they help with the soreness that's all that matters to me haha

[glaze]

ellebelle that's crazy! I would have slept like crap too. Hopefully your house sells soon!

TheTuna15 I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't last long at the park! It's hard chasing after littles and dodging the other crazy kids. I yelled at a kid because he kept telling my DS to sit in a spot and wait for him and then would run off for 5 minutes and I asked DS why he kept waiting and he said the kid told him he wouldn't be his friend anymore if he didn't sit there. I'm not a fan of most other people's children, haha.

[Ray]

glaze in my experience most other people's kids are assholes. At least where I work. Your dislike is warranted.

[rungirlrun]

ellebelle, ugh what an awful story. I can't believe any realtor would do that. And good luck wit the GTT!

As usual my life revolves around other animal's poop.

Rant: In the fall, at least once a week, we'd find dog poop in our front yard. No clue who the owner was but it pissed me off. Then we went months without any dog poop. That changed last week. Twice is 3 days. I never see it happen, but if you don't pick up after your dog, you are an ass. Plastic bags are basically illegal in CA so every time this dog poops, we have to use plastic bags we bought to clean it up. I'm annoyed.

Rave (kinda): We've made huge strides in the poop department of potty training over the past 4 days. DS is going in the potty every time and is so proud of himself. It's great, but now he's obsessed. He's pooped 4 times in less than 24 hours. He's not sick or anything - just gets so excited to yell out that he pooped on the potty. I'm super proud of him and all but now he just wants to sit on the potty and not nap - I need that nap!

[TheTuna15]

glaze, the only thing I dislike more than other people are other people's children. I just remember being a kid and getting my ass kicked if I acted like a little shit in public. Apparently that's not a thing anymore.

Yup.  He lives a block over but is a regular on our street.  He has absolutely no sense of boundaries but the realtor should have been the adult and put his foot down.

[housecarder]

Non-grumble here. H told me last night that he misses having alone time with DS now that I'm not working. So when he got off work he took DS out for a couple hours and sent me into our room to nap. They went to a great little icecream place and even brought me back a pint of my favorite.

[rungirlrun]

Yay passed my glucose test! I was eating all sorts of junk this weekend in case I failed - probably need to cut back before that becomes too much the norm.

[mcktymck]

Congratulations rungirlrun!

[melody330]

Dropping the stupid car off tonight. They changed my oil and the light went off so they couldn't run the code. As soon as I got on the parkway the light came back on. Of course.

Thank goodness my mom has an extra car and is letting me borrow it until this gets sorted out. So frustrating.

[littlesthobo]

ellebelle I'd be pissed that the realtor let that kid in. What if he stole something? That's so unsettling that he came back. I hope your place sells soon!

melody330 cars are the worst! I hope you get it sorted out soon.

rungirlrun I totally did the same thing, ate all the candy this weekend just in case!

[littlesthobo]

DS is having the worst eczema. So bad that daycare called today about it. Between his eczema and diaper rash, I put four different types of cream on him before bed. DH is taking the morning off to take him to the doctor tomorrow.

[melody330]

littlesthobo sorry about the eczema DS use to get mystery rashes when he was little and I always thought he would end up with eczema. Turns out he runs really warm and gets heat rash easily. hopefully the doctor has something to help.

Sorry about that. Does it seem to be bothering him? K is the queen of the mystery rash too, I'm so hoping she grows out of it.

I was at a training session today for work and one of the ladies I've worked on a few reports with saw me and didn't recognize me at first then she says "OMG Hi! I didn't recognize you because your sooooo big!...a good big obviously because it's from a baby LOL!" I def felt awkward as fuck and then starting thinking OMFG am I a fucking whale?! I just responded with "yup there is a BIG baby in there, it's not from a ton of beer!"

I'm totally self conscience about my weight gain now. At my next OB appointment I'm going to ask if she has any concern about my weight gain...she hasn't said anything about my weight so I assumed it was OK.

I think I've entered the "ready for baby to be here and have time off work" phase. I know everyone says maternity leave isn't a vacation, but the idea of 12 weeks where I don't have to deal with anything regarding work sounds so wonderful. I'm definitely losing steam (and motivation) fast.

+1! I'm really slow right now at work and I stress every week about how I'm going to come up with 40 hours for my time card since ALL my time has to be billable to our clients...I can't WAIT to have 5 months off where I don't have to give a shit about work or my time card...9 more weeks, 9 more weeks!

[tikoberry99]

Yikes ellebelle, that is a bit scary. WTF to the realtor....did she think the kid was yours or something. Very strange.

People need to shut up. I was getting the "you're so big" comments and then people would find out it is twins and be like "but you're so little for twins, are they growing ok?" You can't win

[TheTuna15]

tikoberry99, all pregnant women need someone who walks around with them throat punching idiots. When I went to work on Wednesday one of the couples I saw had this to say "Oh I have to look at you! You're due the same time as my niece. You're definitely smaller. Is she just fat or are you too small?" Really guys. Really?

[ellebelle]

I got the wow you popped this weekend comment too katelou. These people have no idea. My belly was massive with DD because apparently that's how I carry babies. I want to bring in pics for them so they can see what they'll see in about two months.

[tikoberry99]

housecarder katelou TheTuna15 people are sooo insensitive to pregnant ladies..I have yet to experience the unsolicited belly rub, but hope my RBF helps me avoid this. I would rather be touched then told I'm HUGE!

As long as people ask I'm usually ok with it. I only really get touched at church, mainly random family members.

[willow]

I had a belly comment today too. I was in the checkout line and the lady in front of me asked when I was due, she commented "oh my goodness, you're still so TINY!" I was just like uhh maybe its because I'm tall? I didn't know how to respond.

Thanks. He was scratching it a lot today, his back was really red and sore. I'm hoping he outgrows it too. He had it last winter and it went away in the spring, then he got through this winter without it and all of a sudden it popped up again. We've been battling it for about four weeks with little luck.
