DickMove has been unfunny and kind of annoying lately
I am feeding my kid a consistent diet of Motrin and carbs to keep us both happy.
My friend is coming this week and I am so excited! But she is leaving late on Friday which means I have to miss a going away party I really wanted to go to. Also, it's supposed to be in the triple digits this week. Not the best time to be out and about.
A few months ago, I had told J that I'd like something from Tiffany at some point in my life. I know it's cliche- at this point, it's like a Coach purse, right? But still. I wanted the little blue box.
Yesterday was my birthday. He got me a Tiffany bracelet. He is the best, best, best.
DH and I just got back Wednesday from 9 nights away w/o the girls. Last night we decided to hit Dairy Queen after going out to dinner. DD#1 (5) didn't eat much and said her tummy hurt. She was goings o order plain vanilla. Instead she projectile vomited all over DH's foot. Scurried her outside where she did it agian in the grass!
To make matters more horrifying. DQ apparently doesn't have a mop. Nope. Lots of paper towels and spray involved. Vacation officially over!
Dh's photog friend is 52, and we went out in his boat with him yesterday. Super nice guy.
His 22 yr old girlfriend is also super nice.
I was just sort of mentally reeling all afternoon. Lol. He was MY AGE when she was BORN.
Ew. At the 30 year difference, not you. H and I have 10 years between us, and sometimes that seems too much. Not now, but I think it's going to be a big gap when I'm 60 and he's 70. I don't like to think about it.
We had guests over last night and I planned on making a cake, so I bought some really ripe peaches. I never made the cake (which, I should have known - I bake like twice a year), and now I'm not sure what to do with the peaches before they go bad as their days are definitely numbered. I put one in a smoothie this morning, but I can only drink so many smoothies.
We dropped cable last year on the condition that I can still buy Mad Men through Amazon as it airs. Each episode is usually posted in the early hours of the day after it aired, but the finale hasn't been put online yet. I'm not dealing with it well at all. WTF Amazon.

I am sick of all the bra posts.
I think I may have to move on to maternity clothes, because my pants are getting tight.
I have three weeks of school left, and since this week is finals, I don't have to prep any more lessons, which means I will have a hard time caring. :/
Bragplaint? My vagina hurts from going at it too much with H last night. We were supposed to go to the beach today, but sand, salt water, and a tight bathing suit seems like a bad idea. I wish I had a maxi skirt so I could go commando today.

Peach cobbler! So easy, minimal baking skills required.

There was a wedding on my FB of a friend of a friend. I was looking at the pictures and thinking, "why are these all of the bride and her dad?" Then I saw a picture of her and her dad. I was kinda judge too
I haven't found any maternity shorts that look good and its been 100 for the last several days It may be time to switch the search to comfy sundresses instead.
Oh I want to add more. This may be flameful too. I wouldn't necessarily say that I judged, but I definitely had some raised eyebrows this weekend WRT my brother/SIL parenting.
SIL refuses to change nephew in a public restroom, she makes my brother do it. I get it, public restrooms can be gross and I understand if people think the changer in there is nasty but apparently it's too gross for her but perfectly fine for nephew. If you really thought it was that gross, wouldn't it be too gross for your baby too? There was no changer in the men's room at the restaurant so they just didn't change him. I'm sure he was fine, I'm not worried or thinking child abuse or anything but the whole episode was very odd.
Then they gave nephew a bath in our room because we had a tub and they had a shower stall. They blew up this new inflatable seal tub thing, nephew screamed all during the bath, brother was cussing and yelling trying to bathe him. SIL wrestles with screaming nephew on our bed with wet towels and the possibility of baby pee everywhere (I wouldn't do that on someone else's bed, so raised eyebrows here). Then she proceeds to say she "forgot" everything, borrows my baby lotion, sends bro up to get nephews brush etc. If my kid were throwing a screaming fit, I would slap a diaper on him, apologize, and finish up in my room. Nope, 30 minute screaming fit and everyone's taking their sweet time primping this baby. They left and DH was like "Jesus Christ, that was like a fucking tornado!"
Later, brother is saying nephew was scared of the seal tub and "WHO THE HELL SELLS A SCARY SEAL TUB FOR BABIES?!!" I said "well, no one put a gun to your head and made you buy the scary seal tub in the first place". He snips back that it's all they had. I told them I bought an inflatable tub without a head on it at walmart and am promptly informed that they don't GO to walmart, because its FILTHY and the people that go there are GROSS.
Ok well you enjoy your fancy seal tub then asshole.
DH thought, and had told me, that his sister was going to be here Sat-Tues. At dinner last night we found out that her flight isn't until Thursday. Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal, but this is only my second week back at work and we're still trying to settle into the new routines, and I just don't want extra people hanging around in the house, especially in the evening. And I don't know what she thought she was going to be doing since DH and I both, you know, work during the week.
I think I've decided that I do in fact just want a haircut and pedicure for my birthday next week. And the time to go do it.
Have SIL babysit so you can go get your haircut and pedicure (early birthday present!). You could even split it up and do the haircut one night and the pedicure the next night.
Use her extra time here for extra YOU time.
Monday- pedicure Tuesday- dinner out with H Wednesday- hair cut
Doooooo it!
Ha, if only! She is not up to caring for an infant and a preschooler simultaneously, and in reality I like my evenings free to spend time with the kids. Without others around
I can't believe my skin. Whenever I'm in the sun, I break out all over my shoulders. The edges of my lips are peeling now and it has been for weeks. My face is a disaster.
And it's going to be 85 today, I want to go to the beach, but I am scared what I'll come home to. Will my face peel off?
Tell me this gets better.
pregnancy skin sucks. "pregnancy glow" is a myth, i tell you. i've had to wear SPF 50 like it's my job whenever i'm not at the office, and slather OIL (straight up oil, biooil to be exact) on my face at night.
here's my AW random. we bought this remote control soft-sided fire engine for L, intending to give it to her for her birthday or christmas, but then totally forgot about it (we buy stuff on mega sale during the year and then store it. sometimes, apparently, this backfires). anyway, she saw it in the basement so we gave it to her saturday afternoon. she was in LUV.
on sunday, we had friends over to go swimming, including 3 little girls about her age. not only did she not hide it from them or act possessive, she was like "look at this! this is how you work it! now YOU try!" and handed over the controls. i had to excuse myself to check on things in the kitchen so i could wipe my eyes. what a little generous soul.
DH and KHC just left for work/day camp. My confession is that I was a bit jealous. LOL. It's been five weeks and I'm ready to go back to work. Is that terrible? I feel like a bad mother.
No, not terrible. People keep asking if it's hard to be back, if I miss being home, etc., etc. Uh, no, not really. I get to drink coffee in peace and actually complete a task straight through in less than two hours. I do miss my kids, but they're there and just as awesome as ever when I get home.

I put one in a smoothie this morning, but I can only drink so many smoothies.
Put a couple slices of peach in a nice glass of white wine-I don't even really drink white but this tastes wonderful.
Also, you can cut peaches in half, throw some cinnamon and/or brown sugar on top, & bake them for 30 minutes or so-your house will smell amazing and they make a great dessert. Add vanilla ice cream and you're set!
Or just freeze them for smoothies in a month or two, when you're in the mood for peaches again!
In my many years of reading parenting posts on here, I'm thinking I am not cut out to be a parent. I want kids, but I don't think I have it in me to be a good mom.
I don't know what happened, but I came into work to find that the weekend crew managed to screw up practically EVERYTHING. I've spent the last 2 hours fixing their mistakes.
i'm pregnant with #2 and still regularly doubt that i have it in me to be a good mom. that is when i'm not all "I AM THE BEST MOM EVAH" in my head.
have kids or don't, but don't let that thought be your deciding factor since it's totally normal.
This weekend H and I had a pretty serious talk about time table for kids, and it is so exciting and crazy. We've been together since we were young, and got married young, so kids have been 'one day' for so long that I can't believe we are probably less than a year away from trying.
I'm really struggling with deciding how I feel about being a SAHM for a few years, how hard it would be financially/getting back to work after a large chunk of time off, etc. I'm crazy, because I'm not even pregnant yet, so why do I obsess? Oh, because I'm neurotic.

My husband has been mistaken for my father and our son's grandfather several times. He's only 45, but I'm 10 years younger than him, and people often think I'm another 10 years younger than I really am, so apparently in MO that math equals out to three generations.
We took M to see Monsters University yesterday. It was her first movie experience. She was NOT a fan. She loved the movie but hated being stuck in her seat, hated having to be quiet and really hated when she ran out of popcorn. LOL
I'm tired of working all the time. Why must life be so expensive?
