Wednesday MOTN randoms

[holly116]

I'm starting this because I'm jet lagged and it sure feels like the middle of the night. We didn't get home till after midnight after a solid 24 hours of travel but the three of us were up at 4 feeling refreshed. Amazing what your own bed will do. Luckily I was able to sleep/rest for a few more hours and DH took off half the morning.

Then I let the baby take an epic nap pretty much all afternoon so I could be lazy. I have a pit of my stomach feeling that this was a huge mistake. Oh, and the toddlers aren't jet lagged, obviously, so that's great.

Yawn.

Even with being on the west coast I thought "wow the MOTN thread is getting started earlier than normal today". Hopefully you get some sleep tonight and reset your internal clocks soon.

I'm on the train ride home from work right now. We might be going out to dinner tonight for my step dad's bday, but haven't heard any firm details from my mom yet.

I just sniffed my kid to see if I could get out of giving him a bath tonight. I think he's good though I may baby wipe bath his legs. #slacker

I gave the boys a bubble bath last night but had them both out and the tub drained before I realized that I hasn't actually soaped them up. Oops.

I accidentally just slammed a Summer Shandy. Whoops.

We've had two really bad nights in a row, so I'm hoping for a better night tonight. H is currently helping a friend move, but I'm telling him when he gets home that he's on night duty if we have a million wake-ups again. Maybe I'll have another beer.

Also, the microphone feature on our baby monitor has solved our bedtime issues. We think it's separation anxiety. He will stand in his crib and scream but if we call and say "everything is fine, lay down and go to sleep"...he will.

Hat tip to H for figuring this out.

My 2 1/2 year old responds surprisingly well to it as well.

V visited the toddler room today, they tuckered him out!

[sjh722]

H is gone overnight agggaiiiin. DD was fed, bathed, PJ-ed, and in bed at 6:58.

I have had a nagging headache all day and tylenol does nothing for it.

I made (probably very very inauthentic) red beans & sausage over rice for dinner and it is hitting.the.spot.

I never put pants on my baby. He only ever just wears a onesie. Is he supposed to be wearing shorts, too?

Ds is attached to my boob in the master bed while I watch America's got talent. H is OOT and I'm loving sleeping in here instead of the cot in the nursery.

[h]

We are flying with all three kids tomorrow. Then staying in a hotel with all three kids. For 10 nights. Thing could get ugly.

[cincodemayo]

Baby is in the crib being Chatty Cathy and is cracking me up. I'm waiting for him to start screaming and want a bottle though. My supply is sooooo low that poor guy isn't getting much to drink.

In other news, H and I knocked out TWO quickies this week. Insanity.

When I tried that with DD, she freaked out

[Yankees21]

Work has been ridiculous lately, I'm so glad tomorrow is my day off. Maybe I'll take N to the zoo.

[rootbeerfloat]

The school year starts next week, and we met DS's teacher today. I can't believe I'm about to have a second grader.

I have used this a few times when dd1 is caught out of bed and it scares the pants off of her.

[wavepool]

H is gone till tomorrow, so I used Nair for faces on my upper lip tonight. It worked!

I've been noticing my blonde facial hair seemed to be getting thicker, so I brought it up to my hair girl, who said I should use face Nair instead of waxing. Glad she did, saves me $!

Mine is either in a onesie or just a diaper. Classy.

apparently H took him to the post office today in just a diaper and socks. Interesting.

Literal LOL.
I've done just the diaper, too. It is hot as hell &the diapers are cute.

I only use the microphone as the "voice of God" so-to-speak, it scares the CRAP out of DS. We have a camera in the playroom, and if I see him doing something bad I'll say into the microphone "DS first-middle-last name, stop that right now!" And he immediately stops with this "oh shit!" look on his face.

Yup, N hates it!

Tonight I was chasing B around a restaurant patio and I accidentally stuck my hand in poop. Bs poop, not random poop, but omg no more bananas.

Sorry TMI! Entertaining my parents today was sort of nice otherwise.

[cilantro]

It just took two hours to get him to sleep. Two hours where I needed to be working. I can't survive biglaw forever like this.

[Brie]

I thought the microphone would freak him out so I never tried it. This is why you need to let dads experiment, people! He literally stopped shrieking, looked around kind of astonished, then laid down and went to sleep. It's worked every night this week.

I cannot get over this weirdness that happened at the park yesterday. I took the kids, and DS1 rode his bike there. As we were playing a couple more people came (we were the only ones there at first) and this kid starts moving/playing with/trying to ride DS1's bike. Instead of removing him or telling him no, the mom just puts him on the seat and pushes him around on it. Seriously, wtf?

This is so weird. What did you do?

[Deleted]

H is at a community meeting. DD is in bed. I'm drinking a beer and taking some time to myself for the first time all week. It feels wonderful!

Yessssss... It's so much better than FB. Or I just feel like I can more freely AW DD.

I do not have this problem on fb, lol.

Also I need more ig friends but I'm lazy. Maybe cool people will randomly add me via pugz or pm or something.

@vicmo @this You should pm me your IG names, if you feel so inclined. Mine is a real name, so I never post it here.

[jackie011]

Is it normal to freak the fuck out about every single thing during the last few days of ML??? I've cried 3 times today with pretty much nothing as a trigger. I've yelled at DH twice. I hung up on my mom earlier today. (I never do that!!)

I just want to cuddle with my bay-beeee!!! I can't even really do that because we have a family reunion this weekend and will be traveling. I feel like once I get to work on Monday I'll finally be able to breathe. Isn't that insane?

ETA: Add "being a royal bitch to DH and making him tear up" to my list. I'm really on a roll!
