Laz, do you have a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop with you live? We could literally spend two hours at Cabela's because my kids love looking at the fish and playing in the tents. And they have a cafe with decent food.
Mine: My dd has the flu. She got the flu shot a couple of weeks ago. I'm supremely annoyed that my anti-vax/anti-meds sisters feel justified in their stance since they didn't want me to give the kids their flu shots.
I was the epicenter of a huge, ugly fight/tantrum this morning. The boys were having a "My mama!" "NO! MY Mama!" fight.
I am coming off of a rough day yesterday, DS #2 brought the stomach bug back into our house on Friday and I caught part of it. I am better today, but yesterday all I wanted to do was lay in bed.
I have a mandatory lunch meeting today and I am only partially looking forward to it.
M sttn again last night, we all went to be at 9:30, and I'm still exhausted. I could have slept all day today.
I love all my makeup I got from Sephora. I feel pretty. Lol!
I have a lot to do today and am determined to not hang out here all day so I can actually get it done.
I'm thinking I want to wean M soon. But I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. I know what I'm doing is the best for her, and I love it, too, but I feel like I'm ready to have my body back. She's almost 5 months now and I always said my goal was 6 months. I don't know, I didn't think I'd be so emotional about it.
totally agree with all of this. And I've done it before and it still sucks. Every single week I say this is the week I'm going to start weaning... and then I just can't do it. And then I curse myself midweek because I want to be done with it (mostly the pumping during the workday b/c I hate it and don't hae time for it). Ugh. The freakin guilt!

Melo, seriously, it's the pumping that makes me want to quit! Some days, I can handle it and it's just part of my routine, but others I just hate it. Especially at work. And I feel so guilty!

We had such a bad night last night.
I was sick on Saturday. Stomach virus of some sort. Only lasted a few hours, but it was awful.
My 3 month old has been so congested that she is waking up every 2 hours or so during the night for the past few nights. Then last night, my 2.5 year old got sick in her bed, twice.
what hurt the most was that she only wanted daddy to take care of her. Sure, I was the one that was taking off the sheets of the bed, getting new ones one, finding a new "blankie" that would be an appropriate sub for her's that had to be washed, etc. But for comforting... only daddy would do. WTF??? He's the fun parent and now also the one she wants when she's sick.
hurt feelings and trying not to be bitter towards dh, but I want to cry everytime I think about it.
I'm trying to fight back tears. This ringing in my ears has gotten louder and I'm not sleeping. No one can see me until Thursday. The thought of having to make it that long without much sleep...I just want to cry.
I hated it, and I was still emotional about switching to formula. So that is normal. I agree with stellas.
eta: and eddy.
#2 is going to be on formula from the start, and I'm excited about not having to deal with nursing or pumping and just being able to enjoy him/her during her first few weeks.
I'm going to think about it. She's had formula plenty of times and does fine with it, so at least I know that much.
I think if we have a #2, I will only BF until I go back to work. Poor #2, already getting the short end of the stick.
last night L woke up crying and in a panic. i think she was having a nightmare, and then she couldn't find her winston bear. so i went to comfort her. she wanted me to get in bed with her for a bit and she was so cute. smiling at me and touching my hair.
then i feel asleep on 1/3 of a twin bed with a preschooler using my back for a pillow until my husband came in and woke me up a couple hours later (he saw me on the monitor). i still had a mark on my face from her bed rails this morning.
The breast feeding / formula feeding threads make me wonder about stupid stuff. Clearly, some people have trouble with breast feeding. Do other mammals sometimes have these kind of trouble? Like their milk not coming in, or blocked ducts? Or, do they sometimes feel that frustrated "OMG, get this baby off of me and nobody else touch me!" kind of feeling? Like I said, random, stupid stuff, lol.
I woke up feeling queasy this morning. This makes me nervous. H and I had sex without a condom once a couple of weeks ago.
I have an appointment with a new doctor this morning. I was trying to get my courage up to talk to him about anxiety meds. Now I feel like I need to also ask if they would be safe to take if I'm pregnant.
Mondays suck for me this month. January is looonnggg and the kids are getting ancy. I swear this is the only time if year when we have four straight weeks of a regular schedule with no early dismissals, assemblies, or other strange crap and it feels like a marathon. It's been great, but it's dragging.
We're still struggling with what to do with our house. There is an article in today's paper that our housing market it down and that there are only 104 houses currently in the market. It also said there are no spec houses bc they are all sold. Ugh. What to do, what to do.
No MLK Day? Does your school not get a day off for that? Are you not in the US?
3 more days of no walking and then I get to see the Dr and hopefully he'll give me a splint so I can walk again. I can do it. Stupid sprained foot!
Tambcat, I would eventually be excited. But there are two things holding me back from that reaction. 1 - timing. And 2 - H is still on the fence about whether he even wants a second.
I took 2 naps and then went to bed at 9 yesterday. I hate being sick. This winter is kicking my ass. I've been since 3 or 4 times.
I've been coughing since Friday and I lost my voice so I had to reschedule a call for this afternoon. I feel bad. I hate rescheduling on clients, but I can't talk...
