We'll be joining you in sleep training hell soon because DD is going though a similar phase. (Does it count as a phase if she has bad nights more often than not, or does that make the good nights the phase and the bad nights the norm?)
I'm getting a bit sick of having a disposable wardrobe. I gained, and continue to carry, a lot of weight with L. We'll likely TTC #2 soon. I don't want to buy things that I'll get to wear for only a few months and that might not fit whenever that hypothetical pregnancy is over. Plus, new house. $$$, etc etc.
But in the interim, all my clothes are basically target and ON. My wardrobe has been like this since 2011 when I got pregnant. I just want pretty things!

Can I ask my neighbor to please not box in his garage while we are showing our house? It's fucking loud. I'm all the way on the other side of my house and I can hear that shit.
I just reserved the Duggar book, BJ Novak's book, and the next Janet Evanovich book at the library! I'm really excited for them except the Janet Evanovich book, but I'm too invested at this point to stop reading them. Move the plot along.
I'm teaching soon and then picking up sushi to have lunch with a friend.
I am over being hurt about dd preferring my husband but I wonder if her level of obsession is normal. Anyone else have a kid with a STRONG parent preference? Dd moves my hand if I touch dh while he is holding her, runs to him if I get her in the morning, etc.
I am sorry I think I remember that crazygame's daughter had a super strong mommy preference?

I'm right here with you. DD strongly prefers DH. She runs to DH screaming Dada when I hold her. She let me hold her hand while we walk but the moment DH catches up to us, she pushes my hand away and reach over to DH's. Also she pushes me away when I try to sit close to DH.
They were talking about BFing in public on one of the radio (sports) stations this morning. I called in and was going to be on the air, but my phone dropped the call
@msstarry that is hard. I will admit it does some times hurt my feelings when M does it and other times I am happy to have some time free with out a toddler attached to me
I try not to compare M to others and realize that kids do stuff at their own time but we know someone who has a kid that is 3 month younger who will tell them when she has pooped in her diaper, puts on her pants by her self and helps to change her own diaper. This is in addition to all ready saying words in Serbian and English. All I had to say is that M did which is remotely related is that he now likes to play with his penis when we change his diaper.

I bought a pair of crops from Talbot's (OMG, I know) and I wore them to work yesterday. They were fine when I put them on but stretched out to a crazy big size. I got home and my sister was all "umm, you know you could fit two of you in those pants, right?". Ugh. Will they take them back?
We also need to re-sleep train MOTN. J has been teething for 3 weeks, but we seem to be coming out of it. During that time we let all the bad habits come back and fed him MOTN. Now he thinks he needs to be up at 2am eating. I don't think so, kid. Back to watering down bottles.
I am taking J to my parent's house without H from Friday-Monday and am nervous about it (see above and our 2am scream-fests). My mom's house is not baby-proofed in the least, so I imagine a lot of moving her stuff around. The good news is that my sister will be going too so at least I won't have to do the 5 hour drive with a baby alone.
The birds were out in full force this morning at 5:30. Lucky for me ds2 woke up at 5:45 with a poop so I was bound to get up anyway.
I can't wait until June 10. Then all my classes will be done and I can concentrate on finding time for me and being a better mom/wife. I feel like I'm barely treading water right now in everything.
Oh and DH put my contacts in his eyes by accident this morning and doesn't understand why I threw them out instead of reusing them. Um, hello eye infection.
Someone remind me that it's okay to stick my kid in the PNP in front of some Sesame Street when he gets up at 6 am so I can a) continue sleeping until normal time and b) get ready for work?
I'm starting to feel slightly guilty, since he's been getting up earlier than normal lately which equals roughly an hour of TV before he leaves for daycare. (Other than that, no TV during the week.)
Grr. I am almost done with Season 7 of HIMYM and had successfully avoided spoilers for months. Then some jerkface commenter went and spoiled the series in an article about Dawson's Creek this morning. Is nothing sacred?
My annual review yesterday actually went pretty well! And, we're making progress on me going part time. I may be down to 24 hours/ week by August. I crunched the numbers hard last night, and it'll be tight, but doable. We'll probably have give up a second trip to Europe, sadly. But I may also be able to pick up some side work consulting, and teaching, so we'll see!
And now I have anxiety about our budget being "tight." And guilt over not working full time. But this last year has been awful and unsustainable.
I'm not sure. I think it needs some highlights. Pdq:)
omg the picture is huge. how do i fix this??
It looks great on you! I don't normally care for short hair but your cut is really cute and it looks awesome on you.
To make your picture smaller, at the bottom of the box where you type your reply, click on the BBCode tab. Change the width of the pic from 100 to something smaller like 30. If you click back on the preview tab, you can see the new pic size and adjust accordingly.

DS has always preferred DH over me.
It's gotten much better. What has helped is to get more one on one time with DS and DH encouraging him to "go with mommy", "do this with mommy". He actually had a melt down the other day when I left to go to the store without him, which is a rarity.
lulu21, super cute! I wish I could pull off short hair some days, today my curls are OOC, but I'm at DGAF status.
I'm trying to decide if our mail is slow or we aren't invited to something. If we aren't invited I will be majorly pissed and it will result in a major come to jesus talk in our household with DH. You can disrespect me, even my husband, but when it affects our child, all bets are off.
