kdubs923 can you see how the other women she is targeting feel? Can you all go to HR together? Or does your promotion mean you won't have to report to her?
I'm the only new mom in my department. My coworker on ML comes back in two weeks. I am anxiously awaiting to see how things go once she returns.
I'm terrible at being pregnant and a mom at the same time. I hope this gets better when I'm out of the 1st trimester.
We have watched an embarrassing amount of tv the past few months. I'm 36 weeks. LOL
Today, DD emptied her drawers and spread diaper cream everywhere while I thought she was napping. (I was napping.) Then she yelled for me to come get her, and I just plopped her in my bed and turned on Daniel Tiger. She watched that and a Cars cartoon, then fell asleep in my bed. When I woke up from sleeping in a weird position, I just moved to the other side and slept until 4:30 like she did.
It's now 7:50 and I am strongly thinking about going to bed for the night. So tired.
The bottle taps out at a low weight range so maybe it's not enough?
We dosed based on weight since he's a little guy. I might call the nurse line tomorrow and ask if we can bump up slightly. DC used Tylenol today and we're using it tonight with good results (so far).
DD didn't sleep well at daycare because some new kid was fussing/screaming during nap time.
I put her down around 5:30 for a "cat nap" - she is still sleeping now at 7:10. What do I do? Bedtime has been 6:30-7ish lately.
It is one of my only parenting maxims never ever to wake her up- but will she go all night? DH bought me a bottle of wine but I'm not sure when to crack it open.
Is she reliably STTN? I'd probably leave her for the night but expect her to wake up a little early tomorrow (or possible overnight bc she's hungry).
Not reliably, but she can STTN. 8:05PM and haven't heard a peep.
I sorta feel bad that H does the dishes like every night and I put my feet up. But I do everything by myself until he gets home and on weekends so I think it's a pretty even trade.
my h is out at some new hipster burger place. 45 min ago he says he is leaving soon and do i want a burger. he will order it and then leave when it comes. i am starving so this is perfect timing!
i say yes, he sends me a pic of the menu. except the picture he takes is horrible so i have questions. i list some things i want then ask my questions, mainly about toppings and the sauce options.
radio silence.
now he says he didn't answer because he was ordering my burger.

I need to go return my AE jeggings tomorrow (they aren't high rise enough!!) so I am planning on walking around the mall for awhile (if I can get out of the driveway). I want to go buy ALL THE THINGS after today's posts. I already used my teensy clothes budget for the month. Boo.
I'm really frustrated. I haven't been great at setting boundaries with my Li.ttle and now shit is out of control. She just texted me that her family is out of toilet paper and could we get tickets to the Ed Sheeran concert. WTF am I going to do?

Oh my gosh. My high school friend and his wife just had their baby girl today at 25 weeks. She was less than 2lbs and too fragile to measure. They had a still born about two years ago and needed IVF to conceive this baby girl. My heart hurts for how much trouble they have had.
@notquiteblushing you can set boundaries now. Decide what you are able/willing to help her with (in terms of magnitude of need, time commitment, expense, etc.) and then just respond accordingly (you don't need to tell her your parameters, but just keep the mental list in your head and only do what you have decided you can do). "I'm sorry you're out of toilet paper! I hope a neighbor can help you out!" "Ed Sheeran sounds fun, but unfortunately I can't do it. I am looking forward to our dessert date next week."
You can always just not respond to non-emergency texts too, or not respond until the next day.
I don't know a ton about her and her personal situation so I apologize if I am missing some context. You are doing a wonderful service for her and making a huge difference in her life, but you are not obligated to answer all of her whims, even sad stuff like her family not having any TP. You will help her more by having boundaries and making sure everything you do for her is within appropriate limits.
glitzy07 that is so sad. I hope the baby will be okay.
I told H that it's very likely that I'll be ovulating next week while I'm out of town. His response? "So if you're pregnant this month I should assume it belongs to a talented musician who you might sleep with next week on vacation without me?"
School is closed again tomorrow. Which is totally unnecessary!! This is a private school - no kids stand on the side of the road waiting for a bus. I'm so annoyed. Keep in mind I haven't left the house at all today and actually stayed in my pajamas all day long, so the roads could be shit and I'd have no idea. But still!!
DH and I talked through a lot of house stuff tonight, which was great. We have to order some furniture and window treatments, so making some decisions will help make a dent in our very long house to-do list.
Brie can your H take tomorrow off? Your day sounds no bueno.
He was able to WFH this afternoon which was helpful, but it's unlikely he'll be able to take time off tomorrow. My fingers and toes are crossed that C feels better tomorrow and nobody else catches it. He seemed in good spirits at bedtime and has been sleeping soundly.
I thought I was done with my stomach bug today...but it just moved to my bowels instead. Luckily I WFH, otherwise I'd have needed an underwear and possibly pants person today I'm just so gurgly today. Sorry to be such a downer, just venting.
H is flying out at the crack of dawn and has to drive to the airport on shitty roads. I am nervous.
I shoveled the damn driveway for over an hour this afternoon so he can at least glide to our street. I am so freaking sick of this winter, and my back aches from shoveling 17 inches of heavy, wet snow and slush.
