My friend is a FTM to a 5 week old girl. I'm jealous of how easy her baby is and that the pp period is going so smoothly for her. It brings back those old feelings of "why did *I* get the broken baby who screams 23 hours a day?" G is just the sweetest toddler ever and I feel guilty that I still have those negative feelings.

Our next door neighbor had her baby a few days ago. We saw her come home from the hospital. She was in the back seat of a Blazer-type truck. Two doors. She whipped right out of that back seat like it was nothing.
She's super young. It confirmed my suspicion that pregnancy/childbirth is for the young!

I really REALLY try to get news through NPR. It's all I listen to on my commutes. But I'm so behind on a lot of international goings on that I'm so lost.

I still have them at times about my 4 year old. He was such a miserable newborn. He's the most awesome kid now though! I just wished I hadn't spent the first 8 months of his life in such a huge miserable fog.

I tried to something on the conflict in Israel that was "for dummies" and I still didn't understand. If someone would like to make a thread about it for something dumber than dummies, I'll read it.

I cannot stand watching news. Any of it. I think it is all badly done.
Word.
However, I think NBC is the best (not all of msnbc, mind you. NBC news as headed by Brian Williams) They are mostly veteran reporters who understand and utilize the "old school" journalistic skills like fact checking and verifying their sources. I'm talking people like Brian Williams, Andrea Mitchell and Richard Engel. These people are real journalists whose main goal is getting you the FACTS, not their opinions and not unverified sensationalist reports.
On the other end of the spectrum you have CNN. OMG. Fuck CNN calling itself a news network. Even when it isn't a pundit, they're constantly giving their opinions (not ok!) and are airing every rumor they hear. It's made up of young guns who are looking to make a name for themselves without any regard for the actual news! So often they report things that have to be retracted bc they can't be bothered to fact check and just want to be first. Uggggggh. And Wolf Blitzer is King Douche.

E was that super easy newborn and I handled the PP time so well. It was so easy and smooth.
now he is seriously an atrocious toddler. I mean, he is bad. I cry almost every day because I'm so frustrated with him and I don't know how to handle him ( and this isn't my first toddler rodeo). So - don't be too jealous yet! Lol
It is taking everything within my being to not get ragey with one of the admins on a Mom Buy group I'm part of. They're doing a buy for fucking hCG for dieting. Just no.
I've been over toddlerhood since 7:15 this morning. She went to daycare in her PJs. It's not PJ day.
Um, I've done this too, sometimes L refuses to take his shirt off (like throwing himself around a screaming) I'm like F-it, we throw on some shorts and call it done-I mean its just daycare.
Today when I dropped L off a little girl had on her pjs, my first thought was oh shit I missed pj day, my second thought was-her poor parents
I have no idea what's going on outside of my bubble. I'm so terribly out of it when it comes to current events.
I don't watch local news and only see major things that come up on my news feed on Facebook or main search engine pages. I also check out CE&P. It's just all so depressing.

I feel bad because I'm so ready for 4-5, because it's easier to reason with a kid that age. A lot of this age is really cute, but doing it solo is really hard. It also helps that's school age, so I won't have to worry about daycare.
Sometimes I wait until dh is already asleep before I'll go to bed just so I don't have to cuddle. He wants to cuddle to sleep every night. Most days, I just want to get in my comfy position and fall asleep.

I lie to my kid a lot for convenience. Typical example: he has a new found fear for flies. He freaked out because there was a fly in his room. Even though I had explained to him that flies are harmless, I also saw it as an opportune moment. When he brushes his teeth every night by the sink, it is a pain to get him out of the bathroom because he wants to keep playing with the water. He throws a big tantrum and it's a big ordeal. So every night this week, I've been telling him "oh no! There's a fly in here!" He runs out of the bathroom and wants a hug from me. WIN!

So the concert we went to the other night was basically a bring your own whatever goes type of night. Security was breezy to say the least. We brought pot. Speaking of the Clintons TrudyCampbell *i* did not partake and won't while I'm BFing. Its not worth it. Although my binge eating weanfest may turn into send the kids to grandmas, pack bowls, and eat cheese Doritos all night while listening to dub.Anyways that's not what I'm confessing.
My confession is that I forgot how HOT my husband is when he's being bad. Like, haven't been able to stop thinking about him hot.
Faevantastic I would always tell Hazel the Silly Gilly Gumble was around to keep her by me in public.
Right? We're only protecting them. Nothing wrong with a little white lie here and there, lol.
Though I just realized that I had meant to be remorseful when I made the confession but ended up feeling proud when I finished typing. I am so going to hell!

I tell my kids that if they don't let me brush their teetg, their teeth will all fall out. Which is kind of true but I'm worried in a few years when their baby teeth do start falling out they will flip out.
I've had to prop up a few of E's bottles lately. We have been having poo issues with L ( withholding behavior). It's been hard tending to their needs all at once.
I feel bad but I am not an octopus and I think it's better than her crying.
Ever since having J and being super constipated for more than a week after delivery, my butt hole has never felt the same after I poop. It always feels like it is hanging inside out, which is how it felt after delivery. Sometimes I even have to check to see if it is okay.
