Ok. I'm a little creeped out. So, we have a big unfinished room in the basement. The house was built in 1991 and for whatever reason, they just never finished the basement. Nbd, we'll get to it when we get to it. Anyway, there is a bunch of writing and drawing all over the drywall, obviously done by kids or whatever. Last week I noticed this weird drawing on one of the metal beams and it looked like a devil. I could have sworn it wasn't there before, but it creeped me out enough so I scratched it off. This morning I went down to that room to grab the vacuum and something catches my eye. It was the same fucking drawing on a wall. You guys, I could SWEAR it wasn't there before. The same devil looking drawing. That room already creeps me out as it is because there's just something about an unfinished room, but pair that with the fact that my kid was talking to herself in her bedroom for well over an hour the other day (she never, ever does stuff like that) and Theo non stop crying since we moved in, I'm starting to get freaked out.
Yes, it's totally irrational and dorky of me, but I can't help it. Lol.
ok. we end this now.
go down there. go over every square inch. scrub off all the drawings.
you are just hightailing it out of there, so you arent noticing the crap. Don't be afraid!!! it's okay!
We are going to a baby shower for M today, even though she is already 4 weeks old lol, this is our last one, and I am so thankful. They make me nervous!
H let me sleep in until 11:30 am today, and then made me breakfast The abby let him sleep in until 9:30 though, so we are both pretty well rested
GOAB, that is so freaky! Say a little prayer and go in there with a magic eraser lol
Today I am meal planning and swinging by H's debate team tournament. The freshman he coaches are adorable. I'm going to bring them doughnuts.
Here's something really random. H and I have only had protected sex this month, using condoms. I am supposed to start a new BC pill when my period starts, which was supposed to be Wednesday. Well it's Sunday and still no period, so I went to get some tests. First one is a BFP. I freak out and pee on all the other sticks. BFNs. I then go out and buy FRERs and all negative. I think the first one was a false positive and have not told H. I left a message to see if my doctor will give me a blood draw tomorrow.
I have finally stopped puking. KHC threw up this morning and is running a fever of 103. The baby is fine. H has managed to escape so far. This illness sucks. KHC never gets high fevers, so naturally I'm all OMG MENINGITIS about it.
I don't really give a shit about people dressing up in 'racist' or insensitive costumes. you wanna be a ninja, swami, ? a-ok by me. but I hate halloween for the blood and guts aspect. really. I could barely muster the physical strength to carry my two kids through the 'haunted house' at the fall festival yesterday.
my brain says - these are just 5th graders my body says - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! IM SCARED IMSCARED IM SCARED PUT ON A HAPPY FACE FOR YOUR KIDS YOU CHODE IM SCARED IM SCARED
I am at the playground. It's a yupster explosion (I just learned this term. It's for yuppies who fancy themselves hipsteresque). A father daughter pair in matching train engineer overalls, affected facial hair, everyone has coffee from the local independent coffee shop and no one has a Starbucks cup (myself included), plaid, chucks, babywearing, etc.

The real question is, given how you were feeling about the baby fever, are you excited-nervous!? Or just freaked out-nervous?

I am coming back from Boston as we speak. It was a lovely trip; I got to see two friends who moved there recently. I miss them terribly and wish they were in Philly still, but Boston is cool.
GOAB, I am so terribly sorry that you have to burn your house down.

Boring ole Sunday morning here. Just having a snuggly morning with DH on the couch watching Dog & Beth. Sometimes it is just nice to hang with no interruptions.
My poor reading comprehension coupled with my skimming this post and my lack of enough coffee yet enabled me to read this as WAITING for Dog and Beth.
Then I was wondering what you did.
I read it as snuggling with Dog & Beth & I was like that's a freaky ass 3 way!
bonquiqui, I used to have to wash mine everyday too, but for some reason when I was pg with Joanna, my scalp got less oily, and I was able to break the cycle. Now I usually wash every third day. So, yesterday was supposed to be my day to wash.
I have really dry skin, and my hair isn't super oily, so it is more of a personal hangup. I feel like it looks gross and smells, but others don't. I don't notice on other people, but for me gaah i can totally tell. I have even tried dry shampoo, and it just doesn't feel the same as freshly washed hair. I wish I could get over it, because I have super super thick hair, and it takes forever to dry and straighten. haha

I woke up this morning to screaming filling my apartment. It jolted me awake, I thought there was someone in my apartment. No, turns out it's, once again, the neighbor across from us yelling at her kids from inside her house with the front door open. I've had it. They leave their front door open all day and into the night until 11:30 and it's just a noise fest with no end in sight. I'm filing a complaint against them tomorrow.
I missed 2 parties, a get-together, and an opportunity to go to a bar last night because I was working. I've missed so much events over the course of my working life- weddings, birthday parties, funerals, etc.- that I'm just ready to drop all of my friends. I never see them anymore anyways. Last time I saw a friend was 3 months ago.
H has been in Florida for 3 days now and I haven't heard a peep from him. He didn't even call when he landed in the state. Fine by me, I'm not really concerned for him anyways. Plus it's nice pretending he doesn't exist. Been getting a lot better sleep too.

My mom made me cry today over the crib. It was stupid and I feel silly, but my feelings are still really hurt. Just because she can drop $500 on whatever she wants doesn't mean we can on a crib. Sigh.

What did she say!?? Our crib was pretty inexpensive, and it works fine. I would not pay a lot of money for a crib.
The crib we're planning on getting is from Ikea because it's cheap and it's one of the only ones I've liked so far. She said it was cheap, not well made, too small and how could I put a price on my child's safety. She then sent me a link to a crib that costs about $500 and said we should get that one instead.
We're on a really tight budget with me trying to stay home when the baby comes and I don't expect people to buy the expensive 'big stuff' for my shower like she said I should. That's our responsibility. I feel bad we can't buy him the $500 crib and top of the line stuff. It made me feel so guilty and that we're not ready for this. It's a theme with her - I'm never good enough for her.

I think she should be quiet, unless she is willing to fork over the money for the crib herself. I am sure the ikea one is just fine, and if it is one of the few that you have liked so far, even better.

Keeping her mouth shut is not one of her strong suits. lol. I know I should just let it go, but it hit a little deeper than I think she meant. I need to not be so sensitive.
Her name is Little Cat. When I found her she and her sister were sooo tiny and had been abandoned. I gave her sister away to a lady since two cats was too much for me at the time, living alone and a poor student. She's always had those radar ears though! In this picture she is sitting on my suitcase so I won't leave for a trip to Cali.
Aww I love her! Kallie and Coco Chanel will totally be bff's with Little Cat! I don't understand how people can be so cruel and dump cats. It makes me sad. These two were dumped too

In Finland the government issues cardboard boxes filled with clothes and stuff to all new moms. The box is intended to double as a newborn crib and comes with a thin mattress. Finland is kicking America's ass in nearly every measure of childhood success and advancement. Your mil can go fly a kite.

It is understandable, and she was out of line. Do you have a pic of the crib? I love looking at decor lol

Eeeehh, those are her issues, don't let them be yours too. While I could technically afford more expensive cribs, I bought ikea cribs. I liked the style, I liked that they were smaller and for something that a kid will spit up on, puke on, poop on and gnaw on, I wasn't willing to spend a ton. IKEA is highly rated according to the baby bargains book. Price doesn't indicate quality or how much you love your kid.
