I read this last night and must confess that I've been lurking on ML much more and liking it. I don't have the balls to post there, though.
Shhh.... they'll know we're talking about them.
I do post there, but not regularly. I feel like there are so many people who came from MM or who post here, that it's not the sea of unknowns it used to be.

Whoa, I had no idea all that went down. I only recall the outrage over formatting and whatnot. I think I've been a regular poster for about 5+ years.
ETA: while I'm at it I'll add a random - J STTN again (!). Well, he woke at 4:30am, but we let him coo and cry a little and he went back down himself. Par-tay!
DH is OOT and I told him I would freeze peppers or can tomato sauce today while he's gone but I don't wanna, so I'm not gonna I'll play the pregnancy card ("I didn't feel good.") I'm gonna mess around with DS outside and do some laundry. Laundry is an accomplishment, right?
ETA: and my sweet, sweet boy gifted his tired mama by sleeping until 8:15!
Glad to know I'm not the only one having problems! Every post looks like it didn't go through (I hit send and it "processes" but brings me back to the posting screen). But when I refresh the thread my post is actually there. WTH proboards?!?
3 weeks, 6 days KU! Ain't no big thang. My parents left and now I'm swamped with work. I'm officially out of sticks so fingers crossed for tomorrow's beta.

I've been reading ML much more since the cookies post. Every time I see someone I "know" over there I think "HEY, YOU'RE CHEATING ON US!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER HERE?!?" lol

@notquiteblushing That was sneaky! And (heart).
We went to a concert last night and didn't get to bed until 1 am. I am too old to be doing that. Also, before the show I was afraid that H and I were going to be the oldest people there. (we're 31 and 29) lol NOT SO.

Who did you go see??
We went to a music festival last weekend and I almost died. Festivals are not for 33yos. Or at least not 33yos with children, lol.
One Republic! It was AMAZING. I'm so glad we went, but I am dragging this morning. Concerts and having small children definitely do not mix.
I'm still waiting for the 18 month old talking explosion. DD only says about 10 words but she babbles a lot and understands a lot of what we say. She makes motions and noises of a lot of animals.
I should probably shut up and enjoy the silence now because once she does start talking, I'm sure she won't stop.
DS put himself down for another nap and was only up once last night!!!!!! My favorite girl at gym daycare is leaving in two weeks, so I'm very sad about that. I found out today that I'll be teaching step starting in September! I'm excited for more variety.
I fell into the Panera breakfast sandwich trap again. It's so bad that I can basically see it fr our house. I need to shop for an Italy related bridal shower gift for my FSIL and so far all I have is local pasta. I'm stumped.
Just signed up DD for daycare that will start Sept 1 from 9:30-3:30, she will be 21 months at that point...does this mean I need to get a job?
I haven't worked since leaving the States in May 2011 and I kind of like it that way. The plan it to get preggo in the next few months and move back to the States early 2016.
@dulcemarninar is there a recruiter you could recommend? My Spanish is so-so therefore I will need to find a job with a English speaking company. I was working in Accounting/Auditing prior to leaving the States.
Btw my Mom saw the Montessori bed finally. She thought it was an actual bed and not just a crib mattress on a carpeted floor. She agrees it's a safe setup so I'm happy she saw in in action.
The baby slept pretty well last night. I think we're almost through the jet lag.
I went grocery shopping this morning and didn't have the ergo in the van, but did have the toddler tula so I popped my 20+lb 10 month turkey in it and he almost fit. It was a little large but my goodness so much more comfortable than the ergo. Probably since I spent the better part of last week with him strapped to me in the ergo almost all the time.
So I made the mistake of googling his rash. It's either measles, chicken pox, HFM, mild mosquito bites or bed bugs. So that's awesome. I have a few bumps myself and I heard the effing mosquito so I'm pretty sure that's it, but the shear quantity of his bumps gives me pause.
I haven't spoken to my mom in a month and a half. My therapist suggested I write her a letter and I've been dragging my feet, mostly because I really don't think it will make a difference. Spending time with my sister this past week and hearing the horrible things my mom has been saying hurts my heart. She's really ready to have nothing to do with my kids anymore. Because I refuse to be manipulated. And she now HATES my DH and is telling everyone she can all about it. I know she's the crazy one but shit if it doesn't hurt and suck. I'm on my way to being at peace with the fact that I may never have a relationship with her again.

M is starting to potty train. He has been using the potty at DC for about a week now but had been refusing at home. Last night he successfully used the potty before & after his bath, then again this morning!
His teacher is a genius, she tells him to "make the water yellow" & he does. I thought it sounded silly at first but it works. He's not to the stage of telling us he needs to go but at least he's trying/going when we take him to the bathroom.
I'm both excited & sentimental. Woohoo for no more diapers <) but my BABY is growing up
I biked to work today. The commute takes me by the offices of several other companies in my field, the bike trip is <15 minutes. My current commute not counting DC dropoff is 45 minutes by bike, about an hour by bus. I really need to either suck it up and drive, or get a new job. Getting an hour+ back each day would be amaaaazing.
Oh and a ton of friends from college are pregnant or just had their 3rd kid. Dude, no we are not old enough for 3 kids.
This is how I always feel when I see people my gae or a little younger with 3-4 kids and I have three kids! I'm in my mid 30s. I guess it's realistic but still weird to me.
Ds has been crying at daycare drop off recently, it makes me so sad . Yesterday he was screaming and clinging to me as I was trying to leave. Ugh. I hope it is just his cold and that it gets better when he is feeling better. If not I dont know what to do.
My crazy aunt tried to invite herself over to my house tomorrow. It's my one day with my bro who is visiting from CA and he hasn't even held DS yet. Newp not dealing with you! She found out about our get together bc my dad told her. She will probably be mad at my dad but whatever. Not my problem.
