OMG. We arrived at my parents' place for 3 days but I forgot to bring Sebastian's suitcase. OMG. My sister is here with my nephew who is 2 so we'll make it work. But no lovey. No pjs. One extra outfit. OMG.
Eeek! You'll survive (I hope) and maybe it'll give you a bunch of confidence that you can handle anything in the future? Just go to target and buy all the things. That's what I would do.
OMG @vicmo, I hope DS does ok! Hopefully he'll be tired out by his cousin and things will go smoothly!
I feel like I can't win this week. Everything seems to be my fault and I don't know how to fix it w/o giving up my values. I shouldn't have to, but it seems like no one else understands where I'm coming from. I mean it's not ok to tell someone they "need to be available" b/c it works for your schedule? I'm the one with a toddler.
@vicmo I did the exact same thing when DD was about 8 months old but thankfully her wubanub was in her mouth and she wasn't attached to much else at that point. Hope it goes okay!!
My DH has been talking about going to some concert for a week or two but he told me it was at 9. Then the last two days he tells me he is not sure if he is even going. Now he emails me to say he is going, and he needs to leave as soon as he gets home. OKAY COOL. I wish I would have known that to plan dinner and stuff because I really hate cooking when I am solo with two kids, especially when one is clinging to me the entire time. And bedtime with 2 sucks. I don't know how women who have multiple children and a traveling H (or single parents) do it. I have a night of this every once in a while and, well, I suck at it.
This is also when I really miss living in the city and could easily walk down the street to pick up dinner or have ANYTHING delivered.

I might delete this later. PDQ.
My husband's close friend named us as one of his kid's Godparents. I guess there are 4 couples total in this role. He emailed DH with info about his dedication at church and that we are invited.
I know NOTHING about how Godparents are chosen, if they are asked or just given that title. They are very religious. We are not. At all. I'm unsure about the role we are supposed to play in his life. I'm assuming the other couples who are Godparents are family members who are more present in this kid's life.
To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable to have this role, even if it is minimal. DH and this friend work together but we don't see each other socially because we live an hour away. He isn't my favorite friend of DH's for things he has said/done in the past but I just shut up about it and try to see the positive sides of him.
Are Godparents usually just chosen and not asked, to fill that role? Am I wrong to think it is weird to just say "hey, you guys are his godparents. Come to his dedication." Even though I'm not a religious person, I respect people who are and know they take it seriously. I don't really want to be named a Godparent if I will, in all likelihood, have little to no influence on this kids life.

Ugh. I think my almost 4 year old is giving up naps. He's had "quiet time" for about an hour during his regular nap time, but hasn't fallen asleep in almost 2 weeks. Boo!
He just came out of his room and found me working on my computer and said "I NEED to play Angry Birds". Nope, sorry buddy. Play quietly in the toy room for a bit long. Mama needs more than an hour break in the afternoons.
