orriskitten I'm sorry You are doing the best you can and GG is very lucky to have you. Sometimes you just can't please everyone and it sucks. You are an amazing person. Hugs.
dixeedeluxe You are beautiful!! I think you looked great in both dresses. Hopefully you can find something else today that will work. How about you burn it afterwards? That could be fun ((evil laugh))

I have an appointment to get my hair cut today at 4. Earlier in the week, I called to see if I could move the appointment to get my hair straightened as well, but they can only do it after so I went with it. I won't be home until after 6 so DH will be on single parent duty on a Friday night - if he did this to me, I would be pissed, but I'm not changing my appointment.
Even though I'm going on vacation next week, I'll likely leave work around 2/2:30 to get a pedicure before my appointment. Next week, I will bitch about everything I need to get done at work before going away.
Dixee, what would she do if you just showed up in it the day of the pictures? I wouldn't even show her options.
Totally what I'm going to do. And if she complains I'll tell her to tell her "oh so perfect" photographer (who sucks) to photoshop me white. Whatever.
What about a long skirt with a tank top? I know ON used to have nice long skirts (easily dyed, too!) In a khaki color or white. Add a white tank top and maybe? A white tank can be great for layering under something in winter.
Yeah! This is totally it. I already feel uncomfortable and ridiculous buying any article of clothing that is one-time-use. ANd I had to do that for me and both girls! And then I couldn't find ANYTHING plain white or even tan colored (which Mom said was OK. Then I find a dress that's cheap (right one $14.50) that looks good and she says NO WAY. The white one was $40! I was really hoping she'd just offer to buy it for me when I told her I didn't have $40 to spend on a throwaway dress because we're paying RENT and OUR MORTGAGE and OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT plus MOVING COSTS plus VACATION this month. But she didn't offer and just said "can't you find a plain white dress?" NO, I CANNOT, I'VE BEEN ALL AROUND TWO COUNTIES AND SUCH A DRESS DOESN'T EXIST!
So all of that has my anxiety leve (and self esteem) super low these days. It's vacation and I'm supposed to be excited, but I'm not.
Here are t
Honestly, I would say fuck it and wear the short cream dress you like. You feel good in it, it is cheap, and you like it. You have been all over town, a dress for pictures is not worth this much stress.
I still think the cream works since it is on the white beige family.
Most days my cats follow me around whining. I say things like, "shut upp" "what?!" rudely to them. Then I realize they have no food and feel like an asshole. But this happens pretty much daily, so they are getting fed.

I do this to my cat too. Now that my one cat has passed the other has come to expect fresh water every evening after I walk out of Calista's room after putting her to bed. So as soon as I step out she starts meowing like crazy even if she has a full bowl of water. She wants it fresh, prissy pants.

Long white or khaki skirt was my first choice and I haven't been able to find one at all those stores! NY & Co did have a khaki/white stripped one, but the two I went to were sold out!

i don't really like signature nails. (not calling kdrake out - hers is nice) it just isn't my style.
lol it's ok!! I don't really like the plain ones. I just wanted leopard nails. DH doesn't like it and told me to do all leopard but I think that might be a bit much??
Also my back really hurts and I thought it was from a UTI that went to my kidneys. I have been a huge baby about it. Turns out I do infact have a UTI but my back pain is most likely due to the shitty mattress I have been sleeping on. I was too uncomfortable sleeping in the queen bed with H and Elias once he wakes in the MOTN so we brought my old queen into the room so I sleep there and H sleeps with E all night. I kind of feel guilty about that since H works in the morning and E tosses and turns a lot, but I need sleep too damn it!

My mom bought a kiddie pool for Christian to play with at the beach. We hid it under our chairs that we rented and they weren't visible to anyone unless they were looking for something. Mil went for a walk that night and discovered it was gone. We were pissed that someone stole a kids pool but yet people left chairs, tents, boogy boards, etc out all night and nothing was bothered. Yesterday I saw my baby's pool just a few feet away from our chairs under someone else's tent. I went right over there and snatched it up. I wish someone would gave said something because this momma bear was pissed. I can't stand a thief especially one that steals from my kid. Get your own damn kiddie pool.

Damn. I have an almost khaki one that I'd gladly send you if it would work and is the right size. (says the random creepy internet stranger...)
I am actually sad to be taking Tyler out of daycare today. He loves it there. I am looking forward to spending the summer with him, but I wonder if he is going to miss his teachers and friends. What will I do with him for 8 weeks?
I was sad to take K out of daycare too. I think it is so great for them and he learns so much more than I could ever teach or show him. I feel like he is failing now but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I let V tear the bathroom apart bc I was trying to do rjamz's braid. All I did was get frustrated that I can't do anything when it comes to making myself look presentable. And now there's tampons everywhere.
Also, my goal this week was to get down to two nursing sessions. I am terrible at saying no about this. I try to be firm and not spoil her in other areas, but I'm terrible when she asks to nurse. I feel guilty for letting her and guilty for not letting her.

You can do it! J unrolled more than one roll of TP while I practiced. What really helped for me was instead of gathering the new hair into the section before braiding it for that row, I would overlap the section, then gather hair and lay it over. Does that make sense?
My birthday is in a few days. I'm getting depressed about it. Not because I'm going to be a year older, but because I always feel unappreciated right around this time. No one ever does anything over the top for me. H won't get me a present or do anything for me. And I don't need him to and I won't ask him to but I want him to want to do something for my birthday. I just don't want to have to prompt him to do it.
At the same time any attention called to my birthday makes me kind of embarrassed. Growing up, we were always traveling for the 4th, and we usually left on my birthday, so there was rarely any fanfare for me and I have gotten used to it.

I roll my eyes at the lot of you who wont leave the house when it's your child's nap time or if the child hasn't napped. I get it that having a cranky baby is not fun but I refuse to be a slave to my child's naps.
What about those of us to use it as an excuse to not leave the house?

I am the same. I wake my kid all the time and don't plan my life around nap time. I wake him every single week day morning so MH can drop me off at the train and when MH worked I woke him every single night at 12:30am to go pick MH up at the train and again at 5am to drop me off. He is a great sleeper too.
I think if you baby a baby they will be a baby if that makes any sense. We just live our lives and he acclimates to it. Sleeps on the go, etc.

Wyatt has always napped around our schedule. A lot of my friends lunch so we lunch. He is a pretty happy baby over all considering that he doesnt nap at the same time each day.

Then I stick my tongue out at you.
but leaving the house makes the day go by so much faster. If I am stuck inside all day I just watch the clock tick away every minute. if I leave I feel like time flies.

It's generally because I don't want to do things with others... I want to be home in my yard and pool! If I want to go out I totally make her do what I want.
orriskitten is there any way you can make it tomorrow? I'm sure there are other hotels. And I'm sorry about the GG situation. (((Hugs)))
Not very likely... We would have been able to do it if we planned during the week, but it's probably not worth it. We leave the 11th for Iceland and with things going back and fourth with Mel and gg, it's just not fair to disrupt their schedules. If it were just Mel it would be doable and I'd suck it up, but doing it to gg too isn't sitting right.

Kinda random but I really like that Pink/Nate Reuss song Just Give me a Reason. I like to speculate who's the one that's making this whole thing up because Pink says she hears Nate say shitty things in his sleep but Nate says Pink's imagining things. Dun dun dun.

We share a birthday and I totally feel you. No big parties with everyone in my class because it was over summer. So we never got the special attention like all my friends. DH hasn't even mentioned my birthday and that makes me sad. I always go big for his, and I usually end up with a card.
