Did I actually miss what happened to lcap??
My flameful is that I planned my day around me, not my kid. He didn't get his usual naps, food schedule, anything today. He looked quite exhausted while at Target at 6 PM but everything else was fine. I did learn he won't take a nap in the stroller while stuff is happening!
Anyone else have friendly's ice cream? It's a restaurant/ice cream shop up north but they just started carrying it in nc. Soooo good.
Yes, we have one by us and after I went to it for the first time ever when I was PG, I vowed never to return. I ate an entire waffle sundae in under 5 minutes.
C woke up this morning at 10am. She went to bed last night at 6:30pm.
I make no apologies for my kickass sleeper.
And it makes me not want more kids. There's no way to be blessed with multiple good sleepers.
Our friends have two - both STTN in their first week of life. They even went to the ER one night with their first because they thought all babies were supposed to wake constantly.
I don't think that's what she meant - and it isn't what I meant. I don't care what people do…but I do find many people who don't believe in CIO to be judgemental of people who do, as if we are torturing our kids or don't love them enough because we can listen to them cry. Regardless, I don't think that Bunnybean meant CIO caused her kids to be bratty, I think her kids are just bratty because they are and I should shove it in her face. Which I wish I could but she is extended family and I won't do that.
edited for clarity. because apple cider.
I know that's probably not what she meant but if you (or someone) were to post that on fb, it comes across as it applies to everyone, not just the person you're directing it at.
I just think it's a crappy thing to imply. Which, intentionally or not, she implied one led to the other.
I know, and I would never post something like that on FB, even if I thought for a minute that her attitude towards CIO is indicative of her larger parenting style (which I think it is, but that is her, not all people who don't like CIO).

I have stated this before but I would guess if you have one good sleeper you are more likely to have another good sleeper. I would guess genetics and parental temperament play into it. I mean it isn't a guarantee but I would think it is would increase your odds.
zarapipe we used to but all the ones I know of around here have closed. Makes me sad
That is sad. Maybe you can find it in your grocery store soon. Once this pregnancy is over I need to cut back on the ice cream, drastically.
I hear ya...I ate/drank my weight in root beer floats when I was pg with AJ, it was insane. I haven't craved one since I had him. I'm not sure if I should be happy about that or not.
I haven't seen it in the stores but I'll have to keep an eye out.

I had a bad dream about my sister, and it was ruining my day, until I convinced DH to get out of the house with me and go do something fun. (Pick up beer from the microbrewery in town).
I wish I could just pretend she doesn't exist for a while. It's a lot of drama, and it's now creeping into my dreams. Ugh.
That's all I've got, I'm going to bed. DS was up early today and crabby early so he went to bed 45 minutes earlier than usual so I'm following his lead. I'm so fun, yesterday on my bday I went to bed bath and beyond and bought a hand vac and was so excited to see the ship notification email today. Lol.
My next door neighbor moved out today. I'm going to miss them so much! They have 2 kids, one older and one younger than Jack, and they were sooo helpful to have around. They brought us all kinds of free goodies from their fridge, and gave us a mint plant that smells amazing. I'm currently enjoying ice cream they left us.
L had an allergic reaction at her birthday party today.
i have no idea wtf it was from. it was mild, but still. she was held by lots of people and she must have been fed something she cannot have. this coupled with her accidental dairy ingestion and reaction 2 weeks ago is a little stressful. i also feel like a shit mother because duh lady, pay attention. make sure everyone at the party knows not to feed your kid. luckily most of my friends know not to give her anything and spoke up when they saw it, but ugh. this was 100% my fault.
also flameful: i am completely exhausted and worn out from her party. there were SO many people there, which stresses me out because i am super introverted and i don't have time to talk to all of them and feel like i should spend adequate time with them all. but, i guess i had it at a park so they would entertain themselves. i wish we didn't have her party on her actual birthday because it wasn't fun for me and i don't feel like we got to spend her birthday in a special way. plus, L doesn't even like parties lol

you just reminded me about my messed up dream the other night…DH and I were involved in some conspiracy to commit murder (in the dream I knew I was involved in something bad, but I didn't know how, didn't know who was going to die, didn't know what my part was in the murder or who anyone else was…it was weird and convoluted)…anyways, in the dream and DH and decide we wanted nothing to do with it because of DD (you know, because your kid is the only reason not to commit murder) but by the end of the dream (aka, when I woke up), the person was dead (some college kid???) and the police were 'on to us'…then I woke up.
All I know is that it totally put me in a weird mood for the morning. It's weird how dreams can affect you.

We went to H's office for family day today and overall it was really good. They had the county police there doing children ID cards so we got one for DD. H sat down with her to get her photo taken and she just FREAKS the fuck out. Like high pitched screaming, which she had never done. I was annoyed that he said "you take her" but internally giggled as she totally stopped crying when I took her. It was still really weird, though.
My flameful? I am sorta pissed at H that he's already hit his goal weight. He lost less weight than me (20ish versus my almost 40) and he worked out most mornings, but it took me from March to September, whereas it was "only" June to September for him. I should just be happier we are both healthy.
I think we are done CDing until the next kid. We just are not using them as much as we used to and I'm going to be working more starting next month so I think switching over completely will streamline things.

That is crazy!! Everyone says you have crazy dreams while pregnant, but I seem to be having them post partum. It is weird how they can affect you.
I never want to host a party but I don't mind attending, I don't mind buying stuff. But the pressure to host a party pisses me off.
Yeah I bought from non-pushy people who basically just sell for the discount for themselves.
My friends never push me, it is always the person 'above them', so to speak…or whoever is actually the consultant.
One of my close friends was a Creative Memories consultant and she never once pressured me to have a party. I loved her so much. I also can't believe I ever did scrapbooking (like that I mean, as opposed to online albums).
