Tuesday night randoms

[Deleted]

Alone at last! My parents plus DH and Ben just all left so it's just me and Ethan. He was nursing all day except for when I was asleep so it's nice he's sleeping in my arms for now. Gonna transfer him to the bassinet when my dinner comes.

Nursing is hard!

He peed so no formula for now, yay!

How's everyone?

[yellowbrkrd]

I am so thankful for my mother right now. M came home sick, I have awful nausea and headaches and DH is slammed with work. She came over to take care of M so I could rest.

I'm not sure what I will do tomorrow. I have a bunch of meetings and interviews scheduled. I really need to hire someone and don't want to push it out further.

I was craving good old fashion goulash tonight but I put too many tomatoes in it so it doesn't taste like grandma's.

I'm also going to attempt to take both DS and the dog to the dog park by myself. Yikes

[namasteak]

Glad to hear you are doing well!

I'm off to try a new massage place. 30min foot/leg massage & 30min back for $45!

3 Part Confession: I found a carrot on the floor from dinner last night and used it to kill an ant that I spotted and then I walked away to grab a napkin and DD1 had eaten the carrot ?

[ssmjlm]

E is in a hitting phase.

She was so tired tonight we started bedtime 15mins early. Everything was a meltdown.

DH has started the must.pack.everything.now phase of vacation prep. Go for it.

Meanwhile I feel like crap.

[turtlegirl]

DH is bbqing for dinner tonight in a bit. I'm pretty sure he's gonna regret this decision since it's 105 outside today.

But hey, I don't have to cook, so it's all good with me.

[gibbinator]

Ds1 is at the ILs for the night and ds2 is just drifting off to sleep now. Dh won an expensive bottle of local wine at work today so we're going to toast the end of the school year once the baby is in the crib.
We also ought to pack for camping tomorrow.

DH had a horrible day at work, so we got Italian takeout. Tortellini Capagnola, yum. It's big cheese tortellini, Italian sausage, sundried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts in a tomato cream sauce. I'm nauseous now BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.

I'm being completely juvenile about my 40th birthday. We never celebrate, but I was hoping for a little something more than the local beer and brat place. I told DH I wanted to go downtown and have a good dinner. My birthday is in 3 weeks. We'll be out of town for one of those weeks (two weekends) and he hasn't made reservations or booked a sitter.

I found out today my parents and my brother and sister will all be out of the state for vacations the weekend near my birthday too.

Takes me back to all the birthday parties that only a few kids could come because of vacations. Or the birthday "party" at a roadside rest.

@this I can commiserate. DS with not SHUT UP about his imaginary girlfriend, Lucy.

"Lucy is pretty"
"She has brown hair"
"She loves gummy bears!...can I have gummy bears?"
"Lucy needa sit there"
"DON'T SIT ON LUUUCY!"

OMG STAHP it, she's not real! I sit where I want! That's MY chair dammit.

[carolinagirl831]

Omg I'm going to kill my two year old!
I asked her 5 times, Elle please let the puppies out of their crate!
E- no, I'm busy
I let the dogs out, cue 20 min meltdown screaming I wanted to do it!
- screaming for milk in her favorite cup, I get it and she purposely hit my hand when pouring it, I spilled milk all over and it poured between our cabinets and the refrigerator where I can't clean it... Still trying to figure that out..
I had one of those terrible mom moments of yelling "look what you did "!!! Cue another 20 mins of screaming

[zarapipe]

This happened:

After taryn saying that one of her friends uses her teeth to open packages and I told her she couldnt.

But whhyyyyy mom
Me...Taryn If auriella jumped off a bridge, would you?
No
okay then.

I'm turning into an old.

Well the bassinet is apparently not an option. Oh well. Free snuggles. Is there anything on network TV at 8? I'm watching a terrible game show.

I think all hospitals should have Netflix. I haven't watched live TV in years.

[bearbaby]

I'm heading out for drinks with @natariru in 5 minutes

P is seriously trying to crawl. He's 5 months old and is supposed to have mobility issues. WHAT.

Fox is showing the women's World Cup game

We bought DD a comforter today because she loves to tuck herself into our bed. She saw it, freaked out, and then insisted on sleeping on top of it.

And she ripped the cover off her changing pad this morning, so I threw it out. We will see how she sleeps without it.

[water*drop]

I put away 100% of our laundry today. All of it. There are no baskets full of clean clothes anywhere in the house anymore. I am more proud of this than I probably should be.

I understand this accomplishment! ::looks around at two baskets and one pile of clean laundry from.... Last week?::

C is running the long con on us. Anytime we ask her, "Do you want to try and use the potty?" She emphatically says no. We picked up a little early from daycare today and she and her teacher were walking down the hall. Teacher says, oh she just woke up from her nap so we're going to try to potty. Come with us.

C climbed up on the stool, pulled down her skirt, turned around so her teacher could remove her diaper. She then sat on the full size potty with no ring, at least looked like she was trying to pee, and announced, "Nope. No pee now."

So while she has never actually used the potty, she's much closer than I ever imagined.

[humpforfree]

I doubt anyone has not seen my copious Facebook or IG videos by now, but Lane is seriously only a roll with walking!! Every day he spends more time walking vs crawling. Most of tonight was walking and he looks SO PROUD of himself.
Everyone keeps warning me about him walking, but dude I don't even care at this point. I am so relieved. Plus, he was already getting into crap by crawling and climbing!
Also, I went and got a deluxe pedicure and gel manicure tonight. I am counting it toward the medical budget. I needed it after the last couple of days.

[bowies]

I'm off work until Monday. DS turns 1 tomorrow. My baaaaaaby! I cried at dinner and told my H we would have two more. His eyes got big as saucers. (We cannot afford three in daycare.)

Tomorrow is also family picture day. I should have scheduled them sooner since I know I've gained some weight recently. Stupid weaning.

[badtzmaru22]

We are in survival mode over here. DH and I are having hell weeks at work. His ended today, with month and year end. He works tomorrow still, but it should be back to normal. I am in grant hell, and it should be done or mostly done tomorrow. Our office is going to close early, and I just hope I can get out of there period, even if it's regular time. I'm at the mercy of other people though. Worst case scenario is I work a couple hours from home on Monday.

Daycare is closed Monday, so I took off, but my work is closed Thurs and Fri. DH took a vacation day Thurs and the kids are going to daycare!! WOOOOOHOOO!

[chickens987]

humpforfree, told you so

Jk. I know how stressful it can be.

[humpforfree]

oceanspray 16.5 months. Past most doctors' timeframe for EI/PT and a couple of weeks from our pedi's. Just squeaking in there.

He is also running. Lol. The little turd just needed to have the confidence and now he barely even stumbles.

[arch01]

DS is whining for me and acting like something's wrong but every night I've gone in there he just asks for a hug/kiss. I'm trying to break this habit so I now have a beer and the soccer game on to distract me.

[glitzy07]

I have a pounding headache so I conned H into doing bath and bedtime, which is usually my gig since he's home with C for hours before I get home. It was so nice to just pick up after dinner and sit down!

This three day week is taking too long for me. Is it Thursday afternoon yet?
