The sex related confession thread made me feel better about some of my feelings about my marriage (and our sex life or lack thereof). However, it also made me sad that others feel the same way and have gone/going through the same things....
DS #2 is sleeping so much better, but he's still up twice a night (though the second time has been right around when my alarm goes off). They all slept past 7 this morning though, which is a total surprise.
MIL & SFIL are both sick with the crud that will never leave. I am hoping the kids don't get it.
Squirrely, I am glad things are looking better today.
I need to go to the store this morning to get milk, fruit and some stuff for dinner tonight, but I really don't want to drag J out in the heat. Today is the day I wish I could go out on my own for this errand. Ugh.

After a week of struggling with bfing and finding out my baby was starving, I've been pumping and bottle feeding since yesterday afternoon, and my life has improved dramatically.
Maybe? She seems to love him but she did say "Dad doesn't do anything for anyone except DS" because he wouldn't drag all the boxes out of the shed so she could put Christmas lights in her room.
But she plays with him and snuggles with him all the time.
In thinking about it more, I think it bothers me because I worry about stuff like that but I NEVER say it out loud. It sounds weird but its like I don't want to tempt fate kind of? It sounds really stupid, I pretty much have zero religious beliefs or superstitions but I refuse to say things like that out loud.
I also donate to any children's disease/hospital charities for the same reason. I think if I toss out the solicitation, DS will get sick and it'll be my fault.
I can't believe I'm admitting to this, I sound crazy.
H is off today and he made plans to go golfing. His alarm went off at 5 a.m. so he could make his 6:30 tee time (almost an hour away). Who intentionally gets up at 5:00 on their day off? He's crazy.

I dont think you sound crazy. She can love the baby but still be jealous. She sounds like she is having some baby related anxiety/jealously. I will give SD1 a dirty look (in my mind).
Maybe she's just jealous because Daddy spends more time with him than her?
DD and DS got this way when DS #2 was going through his casting treatments. He did need a little but extra care and we tried to compensate, but weren't always successful.
Can you give her some one on one time with you or DH? Do you think that might help?
FWIW, I've always donated to children's hosptial because "you never know".
My kids are refusing to get dressed this morning. I agree with them and wish we could start the weekend early.
I am obsessed with the royal baby. I have no idea why.
Me, too! I've been checking for updates every day!
+1, I keep checking the Daily Mail for an update. It really has to be any minute now, assuming the "official" due date was accurate.
I want to go on a real vacation, we always end up visiting family. I'm going to start looking for a good long weekend trip for the end of August/Labor Day weekend.

You saying that is making me think about it more. DS was playing with a toy and I commented that he got it from my bro and SIL. She kind of snorted and said, they get him nice stuff but give us CRAP for presents (she was spoken to). I'll talk to DH about it and see what he thinks.
I've been up since 5:30 because of all of the thunder & lightning we had. All that commotion for 5 freaking minutes of rain! And it's my H's day off, so I could of slept in because no alarms would have gone off! Damn it! On the upside, we are going to spend the weekend with my family and take the girls fishing and have a little picnic at the lake
I'm a hot mess today. It was 86 degrees already when I left for work this morning. There's no air conditioning in my car, so I had to drive 20 minutes to work on the freeway with my windows down. Every hair tie I have is MIA. I look like Bozo.
Curly, how old is she? I would not be ok with the comment about crap for presents from your bro.
She just turned 12. I was kind of surprised, she always looks happy and says how much she likes the gift. She's acts appropriately but then she said this behind the scenes. I think she is hitting the moody teenager stuff.
I'm so excited!!!! lilafowler is staying with me all weekend (yeahhhhh!!!!) and we're kicking off the festivities with kessieblue and @missusbee tonight. Drinks and snacks at my place followed by dinner at a lovely little waterfront restaurant. Yay, Friday!
We're finally getting a new car tomorrow to replace our 15 year old purple Honda Odyssey that we bought for a dollar from H's parents. Thank goodness that beast finally died.
I had a shitty commute this morning. Some asshole kept cutting me off then slamming on his brakes. He did this 4 separate times, 2 of which almost caused me to swerve off the road. I flipped him off the last time. And then when I could I sped up past him so he couldn't do it again. He pulled up along side me later and waved. He had 2 kids in the car. So now *I* feel like a dick for flipping him off (which I never do...but I was so fucking angry since I had almost hit a concrete abutment), and I feel sorry for his kids.
Oh how scary! He should be ashamed of himself for driving that way, especially with his kids in the car. Asshole.
I had to fire someone this morning. She was within her 90 days, was completely unprofessional and was awful with numbers (her main job was to work with numbers). I didn't hire her. I hate firing people. Hate. She flipped out on me. Screamed and yelled and then stormed out. I get why she would feel that way, but I wish she had maintained her dignity. It has put me in the most foul mood.
I'm so happy it's Friday! And that I only have to work a half day. On the minus side, I got all of my genetic testing done this morning, so now I'll be (even more of?) a nervous wreck about this baby until all of the results come back.
all i want to do is sleep. i'm excited to see my friend tonight, but i'm seriously thinking that i might need to take a nap midday in order to make that happen.
last night, i realized that i had to clean the house because my friend was coming over. so i did that after L went to bed. and a load of laundry. then i took a shower, so i had to stay up to dry my hair so it wouldn't dry all crazy like. so, we're looking at 11:30 as i exit the shower. not too shabby, right?
except, JUST as i was about to dry my hair the largest cockroach i'd ever seen (no joke) makes an appearance on my bathroom wall (they'd warned us that sometimes with nearby/onsite construction, bugs/varmints seek shelter indoors. and our neighbors are building something too. and it's been rainy, which i guess makes them thrive? ew.). so i grab a broom and begin trying to knock it to the floor and beat it to death (aside: i was stark naked since i'd just gotten out of the shower). it's laying on its back twitching, and i'm frozen. i'm afraid to leave because if i leave to go get bug spray and it's not there when i get back i'll never ever sleep. and i don't know where the bug spray is. so i sprayed it with lysol and then trapped it under the can THEN went to get bug spray. then i sprayed it with the bug spray, waited until it stopped moving, and then threw it in the toilet.
so now it's midnight and i still have to dry my hair.
catballs (who we all know that i love) is senile and partially deaf, so every fucking night she begins crying in confusion sometime between 2am and 4am. right at 3:30, she begins stalking all over the bed and howling. so i get up, set her stuff up in the bathroom, and lock her in (this calms her in the middle of the night, but if we do it before bed it riles her. i hate this cat sometimes).
okay, back to bed around 4. it's windy. i'm awoken at 4:30 by the tarps or something that are set up for our construction scraping the side of the house. but i don't realize that right away, so with my heart racing i search the whole house armed with my cell phone and a TV remote (seriously? what was i thinking). back to bed at 5:15. awake for awhile. alarm goes off at 6:30.
H and I finalized and signed our wills last night, but that seemed too mature for us so we went out for ice cream afterwards.
My boy is 2 months old today. Right now, he is more awesome than my 3 y.o., and I don't even like little babies that much.
My mom learned during some testing that she has recently had a stroke, though she didn't know it when it happened. She told me last night that she has noticed she's lost a lot of her peripheral vision, to the point where she probably won't drive anymore. I am not ready for my parents to decline yet. She's only 60!

Ugh. Sorry.
Did she have don't idea she was struggling or is she one of those who thinks its not her fault?
He thinks its Not her fault. She said she had no idea that she was making mistakes. Which I scratched my head at because multiple times a week she is emailed corrections to be made to her work.
Also - she was applying to other jobs from her work email. That was it for me, she had to go.
Today is my last day of work before vacation. I need it!
I'm supposed to settle at 3 today. Xh is supposed to go at 2 to sign the deed. It's driving me nuts to be cutting it so close, and I'm sure he knows that, and did it on purpose.

and i can only have ONE large cup of coffee.
I'm sorry about your crappy night but this made me LOL. KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! Or Lysol, whatever is handy.
