In an attempt to cut our grocery bill, I'm trying store brand (Wegmans) diapers instead of DD's usual Pampers Cruisers. I'm going to go with 3 strikes and they're out. The VERY FIRST store diaper I put her in, she blows it out the back getting poop alllll over herself, my fav outfit, and the RnP cover. While trying to change her, it also got all over the changing pad cover. Ugh I did not want to do all this laundry tonight! STRIKE ONE cheap diapers.

My parents are awesome! My mom did school pick-up/drop-off for DS1. Then took DS2 to Costco with her and got everything on my list.
Then one of our oldest family friends came over to see the baby so we all chatted and visited for about 1.5 hours. After that it was close to DS2's nap time, so she took the boys back to her house so I could also take a nap (DD let me sleep almost 1.5 hours).
Now it's just after 5pm here and I came to pick up the kids and they asked us to stay for dinner (tacos!), which is awesome because DH isn't going to be home until 9m tonight, so now I'm not having to do that much solo parenting tonight - just bedtime.
DS threw up the past 2 nights and has an awful cold. He was up most of last night. GI told us to do a suppository and it worked and DS was very happy afterwards. Now we have to give him miralax for the next few days. The fun never ends.
So we went to the Red Sox/Yankee game today. We had Ok tickets that I bought for DH's birthday 6 months ago. And then randomly got upgraded to FRONT ROW behind home plate!!!
Hoping nobody from work was watching because I called in sick. I'm in the red jersey and DH had the green hat. Apparently DS was yelling hi to us on the tv, lol
The car in front of me at the DQ drive thru had a "Tula in the Wild" sticker. How timely given today's conversation.
Did you ca-caw at them?! I would have rolled my window down just for fun, lol.
I did not. They were driving away as I pulled up. I was actually shocked as baby wearing isn't really all that popular here and I've only ever seen on Tula in real life. And congrats to you!
Some ASSHOLE had the balls to honk at me today while I was crossing the street. In a crosswalk. WITH THE FUCKING "PEDESTRIAN GO" LIGHT. And I wasn't even lolligagging. WHO DOES THAT?!
DD asked why someone honked and it took all my niceness to not say "because they're an asshole". And it's not like me walking meant he couldn't make it through the light. I still had 15 seconds of green.
The newborn photog is coming tomorrow. I've decided since we are only doing pictures in the nursery/DS' room they are the only 2 that need to really be clean. Everything else is kind of damage control.
DH comes home tonight and I have fully phoned in parenting at this point. We are on the couch eating mac and cheese watching RHOC. Her protein was leftover chicken nuggets from chik fil a at the mall. Mom win!!!!!!!!
You guys, now he's going to get me vanilla ice cream so I can have a float with the "Not Your Fathers Rootbeer" <3 I know these are little things but it means a lot because he spends 3 hours in the car commuting and hates driving anywhere after work.
H and I tried to go grocery shopping with the girls and it was a disaster. They escaped from the car cart and were running around like maniacs. Meanwhile all of the other children in the store were behaving.
@natariru that's cool, I guess. Whatevs, right? Ain't no thing.
Sooooo are you testing again??!!!
Do I keep testing even though the digital says it? I mean, I probably will to see the lines get darker. I was just starting to think I was seeing things. And that @pnkybrwstr was just going along with the crazy.
I would definitely want to see the line getting darker! And if you have the tests might as well use them, right??
I'm on the iPad and can see sigs and tickers!! It's like a whole new world! Apologies in advance for liking your random posts - it may just be for your sig pics.

I soak diaper blowout clothes in a bucket of Oxiclean until I'm good and ready to do laundry. Now, I don't have a laundry machine inside my unit, but I still think I'd rely on the bucket if I didn't have the time/energy to deal with laundry at the exact moment a poopsplosion happened.
Also, I spend way too much on eco-friendly diapers, as a friend pointed out to me yesterday. But, I use ebates when I order them!

I don't stop until the doctor tells me it's true. Because after that it starts seeming crazy.
