Lincoln's been doing the splits lately (he just randomly started doing it), well I'm sitting in the living room nursing C whIle H gets L ready for bed and I hear my H say keep the leg spreading to a minimum, you're making me hurt haha.

My H is getting his vasectomy tomorrow. Aah! He has to be under for it because his tube is hard to find, so that kind of sucks. I'm hoping it will go smoothly and he will have an easy recovery.
Confession: I still haven't bought Caleb a birthday present and his birthday is tomorrow. I'm consoling myself with the idea that we can give it to him when we do cake on Saturday.
Vent: One of the kids in my preschool Bible class is obsessed with Mario Kart. It's seriously the only thing he'll talk about or listen about, and I'm wondering just how much he's allowed to play with it. After I told the story of the Good Samaritan literally 4+ times in 45 minutes, this 4 year old had no clue what was in the picture he had just colored and put together. All he could tell me was this man got hurt.
Random: The chicken stew and dumplings I made tonight was really, really good.
I got a fucking splinter on my hand today. It's too deep to get out and I can't push it up.
Baking soda paste! Works most times with my DH. Make a thick paste with Baking soda, apply to the area, cover and when it is dry, your splinter should come out! Whooo~
I have a confession and it is a silly one. I have applied to numerous jobs in Denver and have heard back from exactly one and didn't make the 2nd cut on that one. I realize I have only been searching for a couple of months but this scares the hell out of me. I have begun to feel extreme anxiety about it and feel like I will be stuck in NYC forever.
Also, I feel kind of shitty for even feeling this way since someone here I really care about is having a much more difficult and time-consuming problem with finding a job.
/pity party out
I confess I've been sabotaging all your applications so you're forced to stay!
Just kidding. Fuck New York. I want you to GTFO ASAP. Love you and hang in there <3
I lost my temper with L this morning. I feel incredibly guilty and ashamed. But mostly, I feel worried, because this isn't the first time. I was screamed at all the time by my mom growing up, and I don't want to do that to my kids. She also abused me, and though I would never physically abuse my children, I worry about my ingrained anger issues that stem from bad parenting DNA.
Don't be too hard on yourself. My mom was a yeller growing up and I have to try really hard to keep my cool but I lose it sometimes, more times than I'd like. But It happens. Toddlers are frustrating and you're only human.
Vent- Joshua has been stage 5 clinger for about a week. He is screaming/crying when I drop him off at daycare (that gut wrenching Mommy cry!) and it is really tearing at me. I know he is fine, but it's really been hard.
Random- I have a project to do with another manager from a different animal hospital on time management. I called her yesterday (project due on friday) and she had NOTHING done. I was freaking out and then she emailed me and our project isn't due until next month. Oops
and the such... I don't seem to be able to get on here as much, I'm missing birthdays and I feel badly about that.

I know it's stressful, but you are amazing and one of these jobs will absolutely work out. It's not silly to be stressed about it and your friends' situation does not negate your own. Please don't feel shitty about anything. You have so much going on right now and you're rocking it. <3
Just bought a minivan! We weren't expecting to go home with it, but then they gave us exactly what we wanted on trade-in and came down in price after their first awful offers. Saying we would pay in cash right then helped a little too I think. I hate the haggle game, and by the end was ready to bite someone's head off because I was so hungry. It's an '08 Honda Odyssey with 75K miles, well maintained and should last a good chunk of time longer. And we didn't need a loan so we are still debt free, woohoo. H is a little sad that he didn't know that would be his last ride with the top down in his 350Z, lol.
I'm trying to fill out the parent input form for G's class placement for next year and I'm having such a hard time with it. I feel like I know what G needs to do well in school, but I am having a hard time putting it down on paper.

Losing your temper once in a while will not turn you into your mom. I lose my temper with Wyatt too. You are so much stronger than your mom was with you and L will thrive with you as his mom. Do not guilt yourself. It happens. It is life. I know personally I cannot be fully composed 110% of the time. I slip up.
You are such a good mom Chels. I hope you know that. You are SUCH a good mom.

Job hunting is really frustrating, especially out of state. I don't know exactly what you do but have you considered looking in neighboring cities too, like Boulder or Fort Collins? They are nowhere near the size of Denver, but they do have a lot of college educated jobs.

I am in this camp too. It is tough.
Thank you for doing the thinking carawestt I keep reading what you say and nodding.
I'm sitting here crying because Reid is sleeping on my chest and I love him so much my heart feels so full. But also because I cannot believe he is my last baby and I will never have another newborn again and all my babies are growing up.
V came to meet the baby and it went pretty well but she was a terror by the end of it. Mh took her home and now I'm here by myself with S in the nursery and I'm crying for no reason and already getting anxious about being woken up for feedings. I'm so glad we are not having any more kids.
Family pic from my phone
OMG you guys are soooo cute!
I'm guessing your BF, but if not please use the hospital nursery to your advantage and get some rest. Damn PP hormones!
@therealmc I liked your post in a recent thread because of your sig. That's my random. Your sig is awesome! I thought at first it was a gif, once again I failed at interpretation.
My mom did NOT give me any further flack about the induction. She looked a little apprehensive at first, but then was like "well I guess if you are getting an epi, the pitocin won't be a problem." Then she was just excited that the baby would be here Monday if not before.
eta: then we started talking about all the wines we would drink. lol
I can't believe you are still awake, that said, I'm excited for you to start drinking wine again . C'mon Elizabeth!
Hope you get some rest tonight spaghetticat . That family picture is beautiful!
Thanks to Elmo's world on Sesame Street, M calls every goldfish Dorothy (says it like dorochee). Cracks me up. And she called H by his first name at dinner, totally out of the blue. Now she keeps saying it because we were laughing.

I'm on school holidays for the rest of the week and P is at daycare today. I'm kinda sad this will be my last child free day for a long time since the baby is due during the next school holidays.
I'm thinking of having DH bring some bubbly to the hospital when this guy is born. All the rooms have a fridge and I'm really craving some bubbles!
DH just made whipped cream in the stand mixer using heavy cream and powdered sugar. It was so good! We ate pound cake and strawberries with it after dinner.

Something is wrong with our router or modem. Not good for my wah days and def not good for probing. If I fall off the board tomorrow it's due to technological difficulties. But you can still miss me. I better not miss any births. Fingers crossed for Internet access.
Confession: I get really nervous if I am the last to post in a thread. I don't wanna be the thread killerrrrr lol
AHHHHH!!! My first 6 months posting was like this! I'd get up in the morning, comment on some threads over breakfast that had already been discussed while I was asleep the night before, and then watch as they drifted down into oblivion. I got really paranoid for a little while that nobody liked me, but then I realized that it was probably the 6 hour time zone thing and I got over it.
Or maybe people are just tolerating me because I've been here so long now it would be really awkward to say something
