@natariru, this is one of the reasons I can't live in places without good public transportation. I get stressed out by traffic and asshole drivers pretty easily.
Re: the other part of your post, both of my pregnancies began with my usual PMS symptoms.

I've mentioned this before, but I had yet another steamy sex dream about my exbf. Why? Why? We never even had sex irl! I didn't so much as glimpse his penis! So weird.
I'm stuck with both kids alone all day tomorrow in the rain. After 2hrs solo this evening involving one, or the other or both boys constantly crying for a variety of reasons .... Just shoot me now. I don't want to do tomorrow.
Scene: we are both sitting in our cars next to each other. I'm waiting for DH to set up the EZ Pass and she's in the next spot over on the phone. B drops his monkey so I open my door (not all the way) and try to open Bs door but it's locked. I ask DH to unlock the door, open it, pick up Monkey and give it back to B. Total of maybe one minute? All of a sudden this woman slips by me ( I am 8 months pregnant) and says "try being s little more aware of your surroundings next time."
I sometimes show C music videos on YouTube because I can only watch "Let it Go" so many times (and she now asks for it and does a freaking arm motion. She says something like, "Lego!" and does her little dance move--means it's TOO MANY TIMES!), and last night I showed her the Sia "Chandelier" video which she has liked before. This time, she did not. Her little lip quivered and went down, and then she just cried and cried. Terrible mother. I frightened my daughter with an age inappropriate video!
She loves "Bad Blood" and "Drunk in Love" though, so we're still good.
We had a similar experience with Beyonce's Single Ladies video. Apparently tooooooo scary.
I feel ya, sister. Â I also want to take my career to the next level and I don't have time for a 3.5 year detour. Â I mean I do, but not sure I want it that bad.
Also, still hate being pregnant and babies. Â But thinking of Luca playing with another toddler and making them do car chases for hours on end sounds pretty cute. Â Another thing - we are thinking of moving again in 2017 or 2018 - so I think that it'd be nice for Luca to have someone that is around for everything, you know? Â We plan on living a life where we take our roots with us and I know that will be hard on him.
Did I know your son was named L? Â Omg I'm so jealous. I really wanted that name for #2 but H vetoed it. Â :*(
I also love this boy's name, but I have to veto myself on it. I've been a huge Tony Lucca fan for years and it would look way too ridiculous and like I was doing it as a fan girl kindo of thing. Lol
P's new brace will have his hand positioned in a permanent thumbs up. I am already thinking of dressing him as The Fonz for Halloween. Is that mean?
I totally wanted to dress ds1 up as Michael Jackson when he had to wear a compression glove on one hand for several months post surgery. But he was old enough to refuse all costumes, grrrrr.
We're prepping for H and I to fly to Germany tomorrow, and my parents to take DD to the lake. Honestly? I kind of wish I could stay home by myself for the next 2 weeks. It would be divine. I guess the runner up prize is a 12 hour flight from Chicago to Munich? I can drink and read and no one will need anything from me. Sounds great!
I was reading GBCN while the dog ate and DD played with a toy. Glanced up and DD was kneeling over the bowl with dog food in her hands. The dog, to his credit, was 5 feet away watching her, and she hadn't put any in her mouth yet, but dang, that could have been bad.
Mr.Kirkette thinks we're going to save money on kid's clothes, since Kirklette will be in uniform starting September. Sorry honey! Private school uniforms are the cutest! I was up late last night picking out all the specialty plaid jumpers, bows, headbands, and matching accessories (bobby socks, school cardigans, blouses with matching pipping) that I plan to get. The jumpers alone are about $50. LOL, savings, LOL
OMG, I'm dying. Having her wear this stuff daily, is worth the tuition. (heart)
Is it wrong to put a kindergartner in blazer?Â
Oh no, uniforms are expensive in my experience. We have to buy them via Dennis & yeah stupid skirts are $47/each. This year is gonna be rough because they changed the shirts to logo shirts, DD1 outgrew everything & DD3 is smaller than the other 2 at 1st grade. It's way more $$ than just buying at regular stores. 15% off this weekend so the pain will happen soon.
I am feeling sorry for myself because I have a difficult kid. The list of not easy things is so long I sometimes go down the rabbit hole of when will I catch a break. Self pity is so ridiculous and there are circumstances that are humbling. I am still jealous though and wondering when do I get my easy kid thing? (Hint - it's not sleeping, eating, temperament, development or health related).
I spent more money on myself today than I have in a long time. We went to the outlets to celebrate my new job and I came home with a new Kate Spade bag, clothes from Anne Taylor (2 pairs of pants, dress, shirt and cardigan) and 2 new pairs of shoes from Nine West. We also went out for breakfast ahead of time and sent Ds to DC so we could have time to ourselves.
I am so not breezy about how my child dresses but I need to unclench. I have friends that take their kids to the park in their pajamas or nightgowns with boots. I can't handle my kid's pants not matching her top.

I'm confused by your hint. How old is your child. ?
I have no idea what all the acronyms mean when people post TTC related threads. I see FRER and start singing "Frere jaques" in my head. The only thing I have figured out is POAS. The rest is all gibberish and by the end of the post, I still can't figure out if the poster is pregnant or not or not supposed to be pregnant or IDK.

This was really hard for me at first. When A started picking out her own clothes I tried to get her to pick things that matched. I failed. I then took to randomly commenting on the fact that she dressed herself, so strangers wouldn't judge me. The last trip we took she packed her own suitcase, nothing matched, but I bit my tongue and off we went.

This week I decided to change bedtime. Each kids picks one story. The three of us read them in A's bed. Then each kid gets in their own bed and I stand there until they fall asleep. Tonight I moved to the hallway before they were asleep. They finished falling asleep without me right there.
Up until now both kids needed to be cuddled to sleep.

You will get over this when she becomes more opionated.
OMG PLEASE ELABORATE AND SAY WHAT YOU ARE JUDGING!!!
Ten internet dollars says it includes the "why doesn't my four day old know it's nighttime?" thread. :-#
Fortunately for me my first son was sleeping in 3 hour increments from the start. So, in my defense I was not expecting the polar opposite. That, and being deliriously tired lead me to ask for help.

Please don't feel bad! It's perfectly understandable. It's so very hard. Hang in there
I mean I'm thrilled for people who got magical sleeping babies or who are just c'est la vie that's babies for you! about not sleeping
That's not me. I don't do well on lack of sleep, it affects me badly. So I don't care if my baby is 4 days, 4 months, a year. it sucks majorly when they won't just bloody sleep. So I fully endorse complaining about sleep and supporting others who are struggling no matter the child's age.
I've fished many a dog food pellet out of Williams mouth. It's his goal in life to eat dog food. And fall down the stairs. And fall in the toilet. And eat rocks

I cried every single day for K's first two weeks when bedtime approached because I was so exhausted.
It's okay to ask for help or suggestions, even if the best most of us can offer is commiseration. Newborns are hard.
I have no idea why @notquiteblushing called you out for that post, but don't let it bother you.
Are you using Harvey Karp's method of the 5 S's? That made a big difference for us. Also this CD.
