DH went to a bonfire with some friends so it's just DD and I here. I have an exciting night of cleaning out the fridge and pantry planned. I only do it when DH is gone because otherwise he gives me such a hard time for wasting food. Which I get, but if its expired or has gone bad I'm throwing it out!
I also just discovered our garbage disposal stopped working. So fixing or replacing that will be our project for tomorrow I guess.
DS was supposed to go to the inlaws tonight. DH was going to go to a baseball game with his brother and I was going to go see Trainwreck by myself with a big bag of popcorn for dinner. DS woke up from his nap with pink eye so now DH is at the game and I'm here at home with the kid. Sad trombone.
At least we still have drops from the last pink eye encounter so we got them started right away.
Bedtime with DD has been a battle for months. The last 3 days I have let her pick out as many books as she wants. She puts them all on her bed and then we sit down and start reading. Turns out, after 3 she decides she's ready for bed! So much less fighting.

DS loves his baby brother so much. It is adorable. He gives him lots of hugs and sings him songs when he cries. We all took a nap together and it might have been the most adorable thing ever.
I am drinking Ace Pineapple Cider (omg yum) and H is doing bath time. We are about to start a Parenthood marathon and research some options for a long weekend trip in September.
Also, I rented Fifty Shades because I saw it at the library, but now I realize I have zero interest in watching it. I assume no one here would advise differently but, if so, speak up!

My dad's wife went crazy on me again today. Confronted me when DH was out of the room with something she said happened at our wedding 6 years ago that makes absolutely no sense. She continued to berate me as I walked with dd out of the restaurant. I might seriously be done seeing her after this. My dad did nothing to stop her. Ugh. Time for a beer and some chocolate.

My SIL added me to her mommy group on FB a while back. I don't ever post, and rarely read. I have very little in common with most of the women in the group.
The last time I posted I almost got kicked out for responding to a poster who can't imagine why anybody has kids just to stick them in daycare and let somebody else raise them.
I checked in tonight, for reasons unknown. There is a 58 post thread happening about how BCPs and IUIs cause abortions. I want to respond, because OMG. But I'm too annoyed to even think clearly.

They allow the sperm to fertilize the egg but the lining of the uterus is thinned so it can't implant. Those that believe life begins at conception (sperm meeting the egg) believe that since conception happens but then is hindered it is therefor abortion.

I think Leo just had his worst fit ever. He skipped his nap then fell asleep on the way home from Target at like 5 pm. Wouldn't eat dinner, so we told him he could only play for ten minutes and then it was bedtime. We stuck to it,but he screamed and kicked the whole way up. He's NEVER done that. I know we're lucky because he's such a mild-mannered, obedient kid usually, so I'm not sure what to do. I don't know which battles to pick and which to let go of because things are almost never a battle.

I feel terrible. My son was sitting next to me on a picnic table while I was holding a friend's baby. He tried to scoot off and instead feel backward, directly on the back of his head. This was on cement as we were at restaurant patio. I couldn't stand up immediately because I was holding the baby.
He cried so hard, and the lump is kind of gross. I've been so worried all afternoon but he's acting completely fine. I just keep having flashbacks and bad thoughts. Ugh, I'll probably let him sleep in my be.d

We are staying with family and a bunch of people came over to visit with us. I was sitting in a recliner chair trying not to puke and one of DH's uncles came up and took my phone from me and told me I should socialize. I told him I wasn't feeling well and he said it was just travel. Ugh. I just retreated to our bedroom to lay down.
DS is cutting his 3rd two year molar, and now has an ulcer on the inside of his top lip from what the doctor thinks was a fall / bite that got all inflamed. We had to go to urgent care last night. Just a couple weeks ago he fell and his teeth went straight through his bottom lip. Man!

Whew. Tonight did not go as planned. DS1 fell and cut his gums above his teeth right at bedtime. Then DS2 refused to go to sleep. Almost 2 hours later and they are both finally asleep.
On a funny note, we obviously still need to work on colors with DS1 because as blood was dripping down his face he started freaking out that everything was getting blue. "My teeth and clothes are all blue!" Haha. I'm glad that was his biggest concern.
Next time I would double the sauce. Her photo made it look like there was tons of sauce for the meatballs and so I served them on a bed of quinoa and rice, but there was hardly any sauce. Oh, and I used beef. They were really yummy and the house smells good!
AJ and I went to a friends daughter's birthday party tonight. He had a blast playing and I had a blast visiting with my friend and loving on her sweet dog. Now AJ is in bed and I'm watching Sharknado 3 with this snuggled up next to me. She's not a huge snuggler with me, so part of me thinks she knows I told Amelia (friend's dog) that she may be more perfect than Georgie is.
I unloaded 8 wagons of hay by myself today. Which isn't all that much but damn they were heavy.
After that and a quick run I've eaten nothing but carbs today. Super unhealthy ones besides.
H is at the racetrack with his nephews and sister. I stayed back with the kids because they were so tired. I took a hot shower, cleaned a bit. Now I'm about to eat some noodles and watch some Kitchen Nightmares on Hulu (Why do I love that stupid show so much!).
My inlaws took DD to a family reunion today. Why I don't know. My MIL was all excited to take her, so hey, kid free afternoon while I worked without worrying about the kids (DS was napping).
I am at the hospital with DD. H left for the evening (my request-- he stresses me out when he gets restless) so it is just the two of us now.
She is such an easy baby. She totally gets the breastfeeding thing, she only cries when she needs a diaper change, and is just the cutest most snugly baby ever.
I have had a pretty decent recovery so far and I am hoping they will let me go home tomorrow, it is still up in the air.
So it is going to be a Netflix marathon for me tonight while feeding the baby and people come in and out of the room.
Now Georgie's pouting. Because I told her that I love her but I'm serious, Amelia IS more perfect than she is-she doesn't whine and doesn't get skunked at least once a year. And doesn't eat poop.
It was a nice day... Run and farmers market with DD2, played a ton of board games with DD1, and she finally agreed to see Inside Out with me. She did much better in the theater this time and we stayed for the whole thing. Cute movie.
