rjamz that reminds me. Audrey has been drawing "playgrounds" lately. She's also been concentrating hard and drawing these tiny details and I want to know what they are but when I ask she just says "playground".

So cute! Jamie also concentrate really hard on his coloring

I thought it was going to be a no-nap day up in here. I wasn't entirely correct. I grabbed Andrew out of his crib, made him some lunch, and put on some PBS so I could lay on the couch with the heating pad for a few minutes. I woke up over an hour later. Ooops. Everything looks like it normally does. I'm sure he was just playing and watching TV. I guess that means I need to reevaluate the dosage of pain killers and muscle relaxers I'm taking.
I'm in craft mode for Halloween costumes. I bought Brady's buzz but am making dh's woody and my jessie shirt. This morning dh mentioned our dog being bullseye. Not sure if I can find that one

@tambcat that alarm clock shit would drive me crazy. My husband used to be a snooze button guy and I basically threatened his life.
Mine has been on a roll too. I ran an errand and asked him to feed Ruby, I said she has eaten this, this and this before so please feed her one of those things. NOPE, he fed her a brand new food. JUST LISTEN TO ME AND DO EVERYTHING I SAY JUST AS I SAY IT!
There is nothing I hate more than an alarm going off then being snoozed. My H is so great at sleeping, he can sleep anywhere through anything. He could just be sitting in a chair and decide to close his eyes and doze off.
I wouldn't say I struggle with insomnia but I'm a light sleeper and I don't like being woken. If I'm awake I tend to fixate on things like noises. His breathing. His machine that stops his snoring but makes it's own noise. His video games /tv if he's up late. The baby's breathing. A clock ticking. I just CANNOT have a clock ticking
Hmm I sound insane
Anyway i would be beyond pissed if mine started setting alarms then not bothering getting up. RAGE
I also hate when he rushes Matilda through food or starts forking it into her mouth. Ok I sometimes lose patience with her and start nagging too but he just seems too "aggressive" about it. Like back off dude! We are in no rush here ...

MATT DOES THAT ALARM CLOCK SHIT AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO MURDER HIM.
Seriously, get the fuck up or don't, but don't make me! I can never het back to sleep and I never get a full night either, and it goes me anxiety thinking about that stupid alarm!
I'm at bitch eating crackers with my husband for going away to school, even though I told him he could. I predict being insane by Sunday night, and he leaves Thursday.
Whenever mine is doing some weekend activity like his biking that involves him getting up early I warn him ten times before bed to set his alarm for the time he is getting up and there will be no snoozing. I also hint that him sleeping on the couch might just be better for everyone. Ok not hint, I just say it

But but but.......his going away to school isn't ALL bad.....

YES!! All that drives me crazy too. I sleep with earplugs as it is, but somehow I can still hear everything. Maybe I should just start going to loud concerts and hanging around by the airport or something so I get a little bit deaf. lol
Thanks for the sympathy, guys. (heart) I feel better now that I have gotten all my feelings out here.
Me too! I shoved H really hard last night bc he was breathing near me and it woke me up, lol
Don't even get me started on the little clicking sound the ceiling fan makes. It's torture.
My parents like to tell stories about how I used to bang on the wall and yell at them for laughing too much when I was trying to sleep, lol. Apparently they would then put their heads under the covers and make fun of me!

I slept with earplugs for so long because of his snoring but I could still hear the snoring. Now I think earplugs will drown out the cpap machine noises but we don't have a baby monitor set up and I worry I wouldn't hear Matilda if she cried. Also they hurt my ears after a while
It's like with the earplugs in I would be craning to listen for ANY amount of sound just so i can fixate on it?? I'm so weird
Lincoln just uses the fitted sheet and then a comforter.
Wrong answer!
Maybe I'll get her a new sheet set for Christmas. We are still rotating the same 3 sheets we bought before she was born. And a toddler pillow, since the one I gave her is huge and heavy and takes up the whole width of the crib.
I buy the full sheet sets and then use the flat sheet as a fitted, I just tuck it under. Then I have 2 "fitted" sheets.

Oh my gosh the clicking of a ceiling fan is enough to have me committed into a mental institution. NO. NO SOUNDS. Oh, except the white noise that I require lol.
The other night I was lying in bed and annoyed because I couldn't sleep. Williams white noise was on and I could hear the tv/video games over it. so I went down to yell at H for having the TV too loud but the tv wasn't even on at all... I guess I'm just going insane lol

I have to say that I would be annoyed if my husband played video games. I know that's sort of flameful because I spend so much time on the internet and doing bullshit things, but if he did it it would piss me off to no end. If he is not working he must be doing something productive or at least watching TV with me lol.

A bit another kid at school today. Ugh. I'm having him color a piece of paper that says "I'm sorry". Is this psycho? I don't want the other kids (and parents) to hate us.

Since he only plays after I go to bed it doesn't really affect me but I do find it annoying when he complains about tiredness. Staying up til 2 playing video games = not a valid excuse for tiredness bitching. Baby feeding on you five times in the night = valid reason for tiredness bitching so STFU ABOUT BEING TIRED
@tambcat I have similar sleep issues and H and I have had many discussions about him disrupting my sleep. He wants to be able to stay up late and come to bed whenever he wants. He would end up coming in after I had turned the light off and was almost asleep. I would lay there seething with rage for the next couple of hours while he fell asleep five minutes after he laid down. We have been together for ten years and he knows that I have always struggled with sleep. And yet he still whines and complains that it's not fair that he can't come to bed whenever he wants. I have finally gotten through to him and he sleeps on the sofa a lot now. Works better for both of us. All of this to say that I understand your anger and am totally in your side here.
I am trying to decide if we should get rid of our dryer. It is big and bulky and our wash area would be great without it. I don't think I've used it in two years but my DH keeps saying 'but what if we have a lot of rain?' We have a big indoor drying area so we can hang stuff up there.
@starbound as probably the only other person on here who isn't a dryer addict, what do you think?!
We have one which I only use in the dead of winter (relatively speaking, LOL) if there's many consecutive days of rain and our inside looks like a Chinese laundry. But yeah, we could totally do without it. We originally got it when we moved over and American H couldn't stand the idea of crunchy socks. He's moved over to the dark side now
Such a waste of electricity too! (Most of the dryers here are electric, not gas). A sparky friend of H's said it costs about $3 per load to run a tumble dryer!

I'm moments from leaving my house and not returning. I'm way overwhelmed and H isn't home again. I can't handle the non napped toddler right now. I need some me time desperately and it's not happening any time soon

S is currently asleep on me and V is being a couch potato. I don't know what to do about this kid's sleep. Is it too late to be napping? I don't know. She wouldn't sleep earlier.
