Monday motn

[zarapipe]

Dd somehow got something in her eye and it's the.end.of.the.world. scream fest in our house.

She has to get up in 9 hours and doesn't nap. She still isn't sleeping. It's going to be a fun night and probably fun day tomorrow.

And now bc of all of the posts today I'm really excited for christmas.

My poor CW is 30 weeks pregnant and her ILs bought her unborn child a mini-horse.

Do they dislike her?

[bowies]

I have to be up at 6 am tomorrow since DS has an early morning PT consult. I am not a morning person.

[Brie]

Real mini-horse. She thinks they did it so the kid will want to visit them 4 hours away all the time (they are keeping it).

She is not pleased.

My jaw literally dropped.

We came home from the beach today and I'm 99% sure DS has an EI. He kept telling us that he just wanted to go home while we were playing on the beach earlier, which is unlike him. He did great the past 2 days getting over his fear of the noise. He felt warm earlier and sure enough, 101.5 fever.

I was all set to ship him off to DC tomorrow so I could clean the house and get rid of some clutter. Plans thwarted-that won't be easy to do with a toddler around. I just need him to go to DC Wednesday so I can do a big presentation at work. DH will still be OOT.

Here's something stupid I did today:

My friend and I went shopping. We moved my carseat into her car. She was hooking it up while I ran back into the house to change my shoes.

Fast forward 5 minutes later and we decide that our pregnant selves need McDonald's breakfast. We have ordered and are paying and DD pops over the top of her carseat saying "Hi!" and grinning like the cat who got the canary.

I thought she strapped her in. She thought I strapped her in. Nope. Loose toddler bouncing around.

Ooooooooops. Good thing we caught it before we drove an hour to the outlet mall.

[MadamePresident]

finally got both kids asleep. I'm hoping I'll be able to work on painting in Nods new room.

[Brie]

I mean, she's glad she doesn't have to take care of the thing, but she's like "WE DON'T EVEN HAVE DIAPERS YET. WE DON'T NEED A MINI HORSE."

Effing Pirates Booty. Can't quit it! And I bought it for DS. Maybe it's better that I'm eating it.

It was like $3.89 at Costco so I have had 2 giantic bags.  "For DD."

I don't post here much but whatever. Today I was walking into target pushing my baby in her stroller while I was hardcore staring at this other mom with her kid in a stroller and I crashed into the automatic door. The other mom caught me staring at her, and I was like "oh hahahaaaa".

OMG!  At least they're keeping it at their house.  Could you imagine if they bought it and expected your co-worker to keep it?

[noodleskooze]

Can we stop talking about money (aka how poor I am) now?

Lord almighty.

[noodleskooze]

@this I am in a funk tonight. Tomorrow I will agree with you, but tonight I'm sad that I can't afford those awesome HA Star Wars Christmas PJs for Leo.

[annieh22]

Here's hoping my almost 2 year old sleeps on his own tonight. Oh wait...there is no hope of that.

I seriously need to go to bed, but now that I've started actually posting instead of just lurking, I'm getting sucked in and want to keep going. ::quietly shuts laptop::

I had to read this twice ... and I'm still not sure. Do you mean they bought the kid an actual living, breathing, creature, not some sort of toy?

Same.

Like, they bought him a very tiny pony?

What are they going to do when the baby grows up? A mini-horse lives more than 5 years. Will they keep trading up to a bigger horse?

[redheadk]

The wife of a college friend frequently posts pics of their son on FB with his age. The latest one is "28.2 months."

I side-eye the hell out of that.

I'm not even really sure what it means.

Baby's first poop-splosion, yay!
The aftermath is now soaking in my washer, lol.

[niq]

scotch+drunk history tonight! I have no baby-related news.

[havarti]

Mini horses are fucking adorable! Look at this one in his tiny little horsey shoes!

[yellowbrkrd]

Fucking jet lag is going to be the death of me. Why oh why did DH have to go out of town the minute we got home from our trip?!?

[kangaroo11]

We went to the Dodgers game tonight and DD was an angel! She ran around the suite, are her weight in pretzels for dinner, and didn't melt down at all. We left early (of course), but she didn't cry at all. And when she got in her crib, she promptly went to bed. SUCCESS!!!!!

[heygrey]

there is a momma bear and cub that's been hanging out around our house. I hate walking in front of our big kitchen windows at night because WHAT IF IT SEES ME??? this was a somewhat understandable fear when I was 7... less so now that I'm 28.

[sent]

Between in-law drama and my friend coming to visit and dealing with work, I feel exhausted IRL and lost on this board right now.

Why can't I see my post history before March? I want to read my thoughts from when DD was a teeny tiny.

[bowies]

Are mini horses Shetland ponies? A lot of people treat them like dogs but yanno, not in a house training way. One of the chicks on Jersey Belle has one.

I just admitted I watch Jersey Belle.

DS just popped out 6 hours of continuous sleep. A new record! He really couldn't have picked a better night.
