Omg, yes! My H and I don't sleep in the bed right now but he comes in every morning to leave Colin's medicines and he sent me a text that Colin was using me as a slurpee buffet this morning (I was asleep). Colin and I were up from 12-3 and then wanted to start partying at 630am, ugh!
I was just going to post that DH still regularly sleeps in the guest room bc he's "so tired" when she wakes him up in the middle of the night. But then I deleted it bc I thought we were the only ones. It works better for us that way -- I really can't deal with an over-tired, needy grown-up. CH at the slurpee buffet . I'm happy when I can sleep through her early morning antics.
DH and I haven't slept in the same bed since August. I know a lot of people will gasp and side eye but my H sleeps so much better now. We will rejoin eachother soon and I've been preparing myself mentally/emotionally for it. Colin will never sleep in a crib. My H sleeps in the master bedroom and Colin and I sleep in the spare and have a Montessori bed setup. He has a room too which is ready for him with his crib converted to a toddler bed whenever he is ready. It's not ideal for everyone and I can't say I'll do with when I have another but I won't rule it out either.
Camden is in a pissy mood (as usual) and I am just so over it today. I have Sesame Street on in his room, and just turned Barney on in the living room. He's wandering between the two rooms, and then pulling at my leg while whining his head off. I just played with him, gave him my FULL attention for the last hour. Give Momma a BREAK for a second. Sheeeesh! I am going to explode. I LOVE my child but he needs to get away from me now.
Would it help if you were doing something? Like folding laundry or doing dishes or something?
When Lydia was younger she would through these fits at mealtime and I would slip away from the table and start washing dishes and she would eat! (I was within 10 feet of her).
But maybe if you are distracted too he will get the hint that you are busy and it is individual play time for him?
This is so silly, but I get mad when H is tired because I know coffee would "cure" that and he doesn't drink coffee! I never say anything because, what a weird thing for me to be mad about!
Coffee/caffeine do nothing for me in that sense. I could drink 5 Cokes and still go to bed fine. My body just doesnt care about caffeine!
Mine: I better get a damn cake today at work, I'm irrationally getting nervous and annoyed that no one has thought to get me a damn cake. I sound like a whiny 5 year old, but it's all good. I've been here 8.5 years, where is my damn cake?!?! lol.
This morning A really got on my damn nerves, I LOVE that child but DAMN he is a fucking ball of energy, it ruins many of my mornings.
A week ago we got invited to two different social events for tomorrow (we are soooo popular, lol) and we committed to one a week ago. Ever since we commited I've been feeling very "meh" about the decision. Well DH's Best friend called him yesterday and invited us over for tomorrow. They have 3 boys so that is awesome, A loves to play with their eldest son. They have a really nice home and apparently will be busting out their new water slide thing......yep....you better believe we changed our RSVP to "regret" for the first bbq we responded to and being the assholes we are, are now going somewhere else that has better stuff to do. sssh, don't tell anyone.
Also, I finally have a weekend free next month where DH is taking A camping, so it's just N and I. For a solid week now I have thought about creating a thread to see which of our fellow MA/NH ladies might be free to do a GTG. I have whined forever about not having any time to ever meet any of you, but now that I do, I am nervous about putting it out there. What if no one wants to meet? What if you meet me and think I suck? Will I get roped into to crazy details of coordinating this when I can hardly keep track of what's for dinner these days? haha, maybe I'll grow a pair and start a thread.
before becoming a SAHM, where a worked we always did cake or what're fur birthdays. Well the vp knew it was my bray for some reason, he's ahead of a few hundred people so u was kinda shocked. Well he loves cake and he came over to wish me a happy bday and he was like what, no cake?!? The he told my direct boss to go get one and to cancel his meeting. It was do funny 30 mins later, I had an awesome cake!!
I get irrationally butthurt when people give shout outs to the mommas whose LO's have sleep issues/dont STTN because I am never mentioned! We haven't slept through the night nor have we come close and I feel very alone about it and I irrationally want to disappear during those posts because it feels so LONELY already and those posts just bum me out, LOL!
I am sick. Sore throat and all around awful feeling but yesterday I shared a spoon with Colin as I ate ice cream. He so far (knock on wood) as an immune system like an ox and was throwing a fit to have some and I was too lazy to get him a spoon.
I feel the same way too. I never have a call out for anything. I have not gotten a full night of sleep ever.
There was a call out thread for MOOK and I was missed on that too. Sometimes I check to see if I have my invisibility cloak on.
Absolutely not! Also, whenever I see a picture of you I think you're gorgeous and so little and I get jealous! Not invisible at all!
MH just texted me to tell me K got his leg stuck in the crib and he had to break the crib to get his leg out. I didn't first think about my poor little child potentially losing his leg I thought about the expensive convertible crib I am now going to have to replace. I feel awful about this but I did follow up several times to make sure he was standing on it ok and such.

DO EEEEEET!
I will go but I have certain rules. It must either be close to where I live/on the north shore, OR accessible via commuter rail/the T. Because I have never driven into boston and I plan not to as it makes me feel mega anxious just thinking about it.
But I am happy to take the train in. Also this would enable me to drink alcohol which is preferable as I am shy and awkward in person

Well, when I fold laundry, its either hit or miss. Sometimes he'll help and throw the laundry out of the basket, other times he'll play next to me, and then most of the time he'll flip out that I wont let him mess up the clothes that I just folded so I need to put him in his crib so I can quick finish (I fold the laundry in his room so he's right next to me).
And I do do dishes while he eats. But he has a fine time eating even if I'm sitting there watching him
But actually, I have been trying to do that 'I'm doing something, go play" thing more lately, and it *seems* to be working. He used to FREAK OUT when I would sit in the rocking chair. Like, he refused to let me relax, and I would give in and plant myself on the floor. But now, whatever, I let him throw his fit if he wants. He got the hint after a few tantrums that he could go play, I was watching him just fine in the chair. Now we need to work on the couch. He hates me to sit on the couch. I taught him last night how to get up onto it himself so now he just climbs up and sits by me. haha

Omg! Scary! Can you contact the manufacturer, explain the situation, and see if they can send you a replacement part/new side of the crib?

This morning N was running and dove onto a bean bag chair that was next to the wall, he over shot his landing and kinda hit his head on the wall. He cried of course so I picked him up to console him, but I had to stifle a small bit of laughter, it was just kinda funny and I knew he was okay. I truthfully have a problem where I laugh at things that should not be funny

This was brought on by the potty training thread:
DD2 likes to pee on the potty. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that she was watching her sister on the potty and when I put her on she went pee. So, sometimes during the day I ask her if she needs to "pee pee" and she walks to the bathroom. 90% of the time she goes.
I can't tell anyone in real life because they would probably look at me like this
I know she wont be anywhere near being potty trained in the next year and a half, but I still find it funny that she can make herself pee on the potty.

Ohhh, I have a new confesh!
So, I'm trying to watch our money, but sometimes kids need clothes. I found I will get the most use out of dresses because both kids can wear them and will prob be able to wear them as shirts next year. Anyway, I got a super cute one from Old Navy that I thought was on sale for $12. Turns out it was $20 which is waaaayyyy too much. I'd planned on returning it.
DH is home with the girls today so he dressed them. He just sent me a pic and EDIE IS IN THE $20 DRESS! I'm bummed I won't get that $20 back. But stoked we get to keep the dress because it's so cute!

I'm the same way! I'm a horrible mother , I usually don't feel bad and often laugh at my kids when they get hurt ( unless it's really serious) .

I thought this about myself until I STOPPED drinking coffee and then thought I had the flu. Until I realized it was caffeine withdrawal.
I don't drink coffee because I think it's gross. But I don't really need caffeine in the morning, I'm a morning person and am only tired if A has a bad night. Like last night.

I have this same problem. Even when Lydia is crying over something ridiculous, like "Cali is looking at me! Make her stop!" Or "I hit my arm on the wall (not hard)" so we have to put the wall in a time out.
stopping coffee is not something I'm ever interested in. I am totally addicted to it because if I have it super late for some reason I get a headache.
I love you, sweet caffeine nectar, never leave me (except for months 1 through 4 of pregnancy when you make me want to hurl just with your scent. Which is HEAVENLY under normal circumstances. Please do not take offense. I love you long time)
I dislike tank tops on boys. BUT I went to a Joules sample sale a few weeks ago and bought adorable one piece nautical tank top outfits for the boys. Its 90s and humid today. I'm going to put the boys in them later today when we go out. Theyr are going to look like little Southern boys from the 20s
teamhayes Its the big one on Harrison. Its definitely hit or miss, but I love flea market type places. Tons of GAP, Jcrew, AT, BR. I've seen a lot of Theory, Citizens of Humanity, Joes, and 7 for all Mankind jeans. I bought a pair of CofH jeans there when I was pregnant and wore them all the time. I wish they were my non preg size.
My kid does not have separation anxiety and is not afraid of strangers at all. I'm afraid it's because I work FT and she has so many different people that take care of her. She goes to daycare part time, SIL watches her part time, my mom picks her up when she goes to daycare and watches her until I get home, sometimes DH is off and stays home with her, more than I do. We started at a new daycare this week because the old one moved a couple hours away, and the new DCP reached out for Macy and she went right to her without a peep. I have a big family and she lets all the aunts and cousins hold her, no problem. I guess this is a good thing but it makes me sad sometimes that she's not as attached to me.

DH and I both suck at managing money. We are not doing well financially. We aren't spending money on crazy stuff and we don't have a ton of bills and the ones we have are pretty much as low as we can get them (except the cable bill which we plan to get rid of in the next month or two). It sucks.

Do you budget? I've started a mint account and it's kind of horrifying but it really put things in perspective for me as I feel like now I can attempt to get things under control.
