I've been a bit sick to my stomach but nothing major. I totally faked it being worse so I could get out of housework and made dh come home and clean. Pretty sure I'm going to milk it another day.
Scoop DH was playing big hero 6 with the kids last night while I was scoping out house stuff. He was in their room when b came running in and smashed her face into the corner of the couch. Cue hysterical screaming and bloody nose...I grabbed her up, DH came rushing out of their room.............and I smacked his arm.
Clearly not his fault....but....that was my reaction. Oops. I did apologize once dd was ok :0P
Dear gracious kpouch!? Just when I thought that profile pic couldn't be any creepier!!!
I do try to step up my game every new one I create. I had the most awesome idea for a creepy picture for when I start getting bored of looking at my new hair. Hahaha

I would totally quit my playgroup if it wasn't the only socialization my youngest gets aside from his brother. I don't like the other moms. They say things like "we don't do television at all. It's not good for kids." And " can you believe she fed her kid sausage!? (The horror!) Today they were literally sitting around talking about how they are all smaller after having kids. I just don't fit in there.

My youngest will be 2 in May. It's a lot of the same people at all the stuff but maybe we'll meet more kids at swim lessons or the summer story time program. It's hard to make mom friends.

I agree. You're not alone. I had such a hard time when DS was a baby because I thought it would be soooo easy to make mom friends. It turned out it wasn't but over time I made a few close friends through kindermusik and as my friends have kids, we have reconnected on that level. I go to story time now and not one mom has tried to be friendly, sometimes that's just how it is :-(
I have given up trying to make mom friends. Reason being, with DS I am so much younger than all the other moms and feel awkward and way out of place. My resting bitch face also doesnt help matters.
I think I scarred Joey yesterday. It was his 23298734th whining declaration of "Dat's not faaaaaiiiiiirrrr!" and I lost it. I turned around, glared at him and said, "You know what? Life is not fair. It works out pretty well for you. Did you know there are little kids who live outside in tents and don't have you tube or toys? THEY don't think it's fair that YOU get to live in a nice warm house with good food and a big family that loves you."
Poor kid looked at me, said, "Okay." and walked out of the room.
Sometimes I forget he's only 3. Sigh.
I feel like doing this frequently. My kid does not know the meaning of the word fair. It just means, "This is not exactly what I want at this exact moment!!!!"
MIl picked DS up for lunch and to play at her house after school yesterday. She called me at 2:00 to say he wanted to spend the night and if it was okay could I bring pajamas? I totally dragged my feet on going to pick him up today. It was so peaceful just having the baby lol

I tried for 1.5 years to fit into our play group but those bitches were just awful! DH kept asking why I didn't just quit. Then one day a mom approached me in the park and introduced herself (our kids were the same age) and we've been friends ever since. Ie since made 2 more friends the same way so in the end I'm glad I quit trying and made an effort to connect with people

Most of my best mom friendships have developed fairly spontaneously. One kid was on his front porch when we walked by and started talking to us. He was a little older than DS1 and when the mom came out she offered to give us her son's old bike. Another was walking with her 2 year old down our alley and DS1 (who is 4) said, "I want to walk with them." She turned out to have an older daughter who is 6 and is at DS1's school. We had a great talk that day and still hang out and chat a lot. Some moms also fill a particular niche role even though I wouldn't hang out with them a ton otherwise. Like some moms are fun to talk to during swim lessons, but I would not enjoy going on a girls' night with them.
I had an awful dream last night where I found out that DH had done the unthinkable.
.00001% of me still wants to punch him in his junk even though I know it isn't real. It's so ridiculous that I have to laugh at myself.
I had one of those early this week and was pissed at DH for an entire day and had to remind myself that I really wasn't mad. It's hard to shake those nightmares.
I just cleaned my downstairs top to bottom because we have a sitter tonight and I worry she'll go home and tell her mom (part of my GNO group) what a mess we really are.

I had that moms group for about a year. I found a different moms group that was much better and a couple nice neighbor friends and I don't even remember dumping the group but I didn't need them anymore. Sometimes you need a thing to get you through until you find the right thing. I hope you find better prospects.

Thanks for the encouragement and good to know it isn't just me. I'm sure this awful winter hasn't helped with socialization and I'm kind of anxious with big group settings to begin with. Hoping the summer brings some fun for everyone.
This is clearly a uo and not really a confession, but I love my moms group. I like all the members, seriously. I mean, they're not all my closest girl friends, but they're all nice and easy to hang out with (Ok I lied, one is just the pits) but the other 30 are just fine. When I started in the group when G was a baby it was clique-ier, but we've since gotten so.e great core.members.
Its not that I don't believe you that you had terrible experiences, but the whole "alllllllll moms groups sick donkey balls and allllllll moms club members are snatch-face douchenozzles annoys me, because I'm the president of our chapter, and my face is neither snatchy or.douchey (usually)

I dont think anyone is saying all moms groups are awful. Its just that sometimes it takes a while to find the right people.

Maybe it's because your group is organized? Ours just has two things a week (a church playgroup and a tot gym time). You are lucky to have a good group. I've been going to the stuff for three years and at least it gets us all out of the house.
I would totally quit my playgroup if it wasn't the only socialization my youngest gets aside from his brother. I don't like the other moms. They say things like "we don't do television at all. It's not good for kids." And " can you believe she fed her kid sausage!? (The horror!) Today they were literally sitting around talking about how they are all smaller after having kids. I just don't fit in there.
Clearly they haven't heard of pork roll and scrapple

I don't know what those things are and I am not a stuck up doucheface. I'm just clueless.

Today is the first day all week DS is wearing actual pants. I could say it's because he's been sick this week, but really, I am just that far behind on doing/folding laundry. He has had no clean pants. He wore his sister's leggings to bed in Sunday, then wore them all day Monday. And the rest of the days were similarly pathetic. Today I found his black sweatpants and I'm calling that a win.

I love DS2 to pieces, but he's driving me up the wall lately. The ONLY thing that he wants to do is climb EVERYTHING!!! He sucks at naps, and wakes up at 530am everyday. I popped opened a bottle of wine on Tuesday and drank straight from the bottle. I didn't have much, but enough to relax a bit.
I don't even care about socializing my youngest. I thought I did but I realize I don't. He's fine. He has his sister. That's good enough for now. The only time he will go to a class is when I find one that is a drop off. I don't have time for all that mommy and me junk I did with DD. poor second kid.
My feeling is the classes were always primarily for my benefit. The kids enjoyed them (sometimes) but we mostly went so I could get out and have some semblance of order and schedule. I don't need that with the second one nearly as much since it's already built in with ds1.
