You may think I am crazy but.........................

[sarahlynn]

ok so i am nervous..my DH works with this friend of his who is a great guy he is like 23 still pretty young but has a wife and 3 kids..but they are looking at buyinga home a couple of blocks from us..THIS MAKES ME SUPER SUPER NERVOUS!!! i like them and all but i am so worried htey will become pests..when they were over for luceas birthday his wife who is very nice but also has no personality and is super BLAZAY and DUHISH says you are gonna have to help me paint the rooms..

UMM WHAT HUH??COEM AGAIN?? i hate painting my own crap let alone coming to your house and painting with you who cant hold a conversation!!
I like my little quiet house in my quiet little neighborhood wihtout anyone to bug me..i dont that to change. :(

HMMM ok i needed to vent :lol:

[Bells614]

Can't say I blame you Sarah....I think I'd be the bad person and have said that out loud :roll:

[sarahlynn]

Can't say I blame you Sarah....I think I'd be the bad person and have said that out loud :roll:

i should have said it out loud...UGh i asked DH if it made him nervous and he joked about it like it was not gonn happen...i told him i would move in a heart beat if they get bothersome...he doesnt think they will be able to get financeing for it because his wife doesnt work and he doesnt make that great of money...but still i am not happy.. :?

[haydensmom]

Claudia, hang in there!!! Could he be going through his one month growth spurt? Are you still trying to bfed??? If that's the case, just keep him on that boob! Trust me! It seems like that's all you do, but it will get better VERY soon!!! Big hugs!

Sarah, I don't blame you one bit! Not at all! I would feel the same way! Maybe she was just joking about painting the rooms???? :? Tell her you're too busy with your two kids to think about toting Lucea around while you attempt to paint.

My poor baby today! His eye teeth (yes both of them) are coming in. They are making his sinus cavities hurt so bad! He keeps rubbing his nose and his eyes and the area right around his mouth and nose. I can see them both right under the skin. I hope they break through soon. I'm dosing him up with Tylenol tonight because he usually breaks them through at night. I should go to bed early. :lol:

[without]

Sarah, I would feel the same way. Morgan and I keep a pretty tight schedule and our house is pretty quite. I wouldn't want any one I know very well living on the same street as me dropping in and messing that up.

Jess, I so feel you girl! Morgan just went through this last month! She was a monster for almost 3 weeks! I was so happy when that little thing broke through the skin!

[sarahlynn]

ouch those eye teeth are a bugger...i hope he gets them soon and is done with it...we are working on the one year molars at the moment..lots of drool and biteing on things..she latched onto brothers finger the other day and it took while to get her to let go..poor kid didnt know wether to cry or laugh..

[newmami]

Poor Hayden!!! I hope those teeth come out soon!!! I am glad we never had teeth problems, Dani is cutting 2 molars right now and she acts like nothing happens!!

SO I went to the OB for the PP appointment... I am back to my pre pg weight, YAY!!! so I have to lose all the extra I had before :oops:
I told him about the PPD and he prescribed Zoloft... he was so nice to me, I almost started crying when I told him about what was going on... he was very reassuring and told me things would get better and I will bond with Chris, then he gave Dani 2 lollipops (he actually grabbed her hand and guided her to the front desk, too cute when your Dr is a smartass!!!) and then he gave me a hug and told me "it would get better, I promise".... sigh I love my OB!!!

Yesterday I was having a bad day, so I took Dani to the park for a while... it was nice going out, and she had a blast!!! Chris was asleep, and he actually was not crying for a while.

As for BF, it didn't worked out, so I decided to call it quits, and are working on getting dried

I am trying to do things for me, I have couple of craft projects I want to do, so I will focus on those... including the birth announcements!!! :oops:

[sarahlynn]

awww girl i am glad you had a good OB appt..i was on zoloft years and years ago and it really helped me a lot..i hope it does the same for you..good i dea doing things like projects for yourself it will help you relax..

[tralynne75]

Claudia, big hugs to you. Glad your dr was nice and gave you something. I pray things get better very soon.

[YellowRose]

BIG HUGS Claudia! I'm glad you were able to talk to your Dr.

[without]

Claudia,
I am so glad to hear your OB was able to help you and give you some thing. I know how hard it is to take time for yourself but I am glad you are doing it. Seem like every time I go to take time for myself the only thing I want to do is sleep! :roll: To bad you cant fly to Arkansas and let me take care of you for a few days so that you can get some rest and have some fun too! :D

[sarahlynn]

Ok can i move my lovely husband out to the garage????? Last night it finally got to me that i just was gettin all tired with the fact that we have no physcial contact whatsoever on a regular basis..not even sex ya know just physical contact..so were in bed and i say which was probably the wrong way to start the whole conversation but i say "am i the only one who feels like their 50 in this marriage" he says "NO i feel like i am 70 but not cause i don't touch you" ok so right there i knew that it was gonna just turn bad ya know..it was so not the response i wanted..all i wanted to do was talk about our physical relationship and i knew he was so on the wrong page with where i was going..soooo he goes on and on about how he is stressed about money, work, MS, school, all this stuff..once again so not what i wanted to talk about...i tell him that he is really moody lately and should take something for depression and mood swings..well he sarcastically laughs ... so i say i just feel like i am on pins and needles THAT PUSHED HIM OVERBOARD not sure why but i said it meaning that i never know what kind of mood he is in ya know..if he feels ok mentally physical or anything..he tends to just fly off the handle..So instead of taking it that way and letting me explain he flips out and goes on and on about "I NEVER say you cant do anything, i never give you a hard time i never this and that" completely off base and i am now lost completely in this whole conversation and kinda thinking why did i even open my mouth .. i know we cant talk about things cause this is what always happens... but for some assanign reason i thought maybe this time would be different and i could tell him that the lack of physical contact was really bothering me but NOPE couldn't happen so at that point after his little tirade he storms off and leaves and sleeps on the couch.. so this morn he is a total ass doesn't talk to me doesn't say anything to he kids..i ask him for help with the Cy's bike and he goes outside pitching a fit doing things like i asked dim to move the house a block south..now i am at work totally depressed and i want to leave town so bad cause don't want to go home tonight and face a whole 4 day weekend with him.. :o( i wanna cry..he is like this anytime we try talk about something serious he reads into things and thinks he is being attacked all the time..than he goes on and on about him..all i wanted to do was talk about sex LMAO and this is what i got..good lord...i am so sad now..i don't want the kids to have a crappy weekend with him all pissy and crabby at all of us..would i be bad chargeing gas to leave town for the weekend since we dont haev the money right now..i think i am gonna go home at noon and pack..he can have the house to himself this weekend..BRAT!
:(

[newmami]

Oi Sarah! I am so sorry dear!! talking to men can be a challenge, and most of the times they take things too personal and it just doesn't work!! if it helps, you are not the only one having to battle these conversations with DH.
What about writing him a letter saying "I want to talk about our sex life?"... remember men are dense and you have to go straight to the point so they figure out what are you talking about!! I learned that with Dh, you have to be direct like that.
Anyways, I hope you are able to work things out with DH, and that you can enjoy the weekend

We were planning on going out for the weekend, but with the gas prices, we decided never mind... and it turns out SK is staying with us, so no going out... oh well!!!

Thanks for the kind words ladies, I do feel better this morning, less frustrated and a little more tolerant with Dani and Chris... I even cleaned my house!!!

Pam, if I could, I would go to Arkansas to visit you and forget about things here!!

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh Sarah, I'm really sorry about your DH. I kind of understand how you feel. Any time I try to talk to DH about things that are making me unhappy, he always says, "I don't want to fight." :roll: That pisses me off to no end and what started out as a conversation then turns into a fight and nothing gets settled. I hate it when that happens! I'm sorry that your DH was being a true DH last night. (DH has another meaning in my house some times... :wink: )

Claudia, I'm glad your OB could help you. I can't even imagine the stress you are under and it sucks that the baby blues are hitting you so hard. How's Dani been thru this transition? She looks so cute in your siggy. :D ((BIG HUGS))

Me? I am at work and I'm hungry! :roll: Hopefully, DH will pick me up and take me to lunch soon. I am also getting kind of in a funk because I'm tired of being a chunk.(hey, that rhymed) Of course, I don't work out so I can't exactly say I'm doing everything in my power to lose the weight. It's just so hard because by the time I get home, I am exhausted! :zz: That's all I want to do, yet I still have all the house hold chores to take care of. I am not PG yet and the reason for that is b/c I'm TOO FAT! I have to lose weight, so that I will start ovulating...I have never been this big and it is very depressing :cry:

[Momto3]

...I have never been this big and it is very depressing :cry:

Sorry, don't mean to but in, but I feel the same way too. Just wanted to say you are not alone.

[newmami]

...I have never been this big and it is very depressing :cry:

Sorry, don't mean to but in, but I feel the same way too. Just wanted to say you are not alone.

Add me to the list..... I am back to the pre PG weight, but still it is not a healthy one!!

Dani is so protective with Chris it is ridiculous, when he cries, she looks at me or gets me to take care of him, and I am always explaining that "he is hungry or tired" so she understands why he is crying
But apparently he is not the only one she protects, yesterday at the OB she started crying when the Dr was checking me.... and she did the same when she saw me at the hospital, she was all freaked out to see me with the tubes and everything

So why is it that men think you want to fight when all you want to do is talk?????????

[without]

What I want to know is why is it people joke all the time about how men are horn dogs and want it (sex) all the time? Grant and Michael both made/make me feel like I must be some kind of slut because I want sex and affection. I went to a marraige Sunday school class and the teacher was telling the ladies how it was part of there "job" as a wife to have sex with there husband. I wish they would have told the husbands that!

[sarahlynn]

yeah men just dont get it..i emailed him and explained why i wanted to talk to him last night to see if he got a clue..who knows..i am leavin town darn it and thats all that matters..he saidhe would have the party cleaned up by the time i came hom..ah huh sure OK as long as the house is clean do what you want... :lol:

i thnk he is having a hard time with sex cause of the changes in his body with the MS and stuff..he doesnt feel like his usual young self he feels old..like his body is ageing so fast..btu i still look at him the same ya know.. :(

claudia i love the siggy.

[DIVADLX]

Chubbos - I totally hear ya! Add THIS to indignity... I came home from the hospital at prepregnancy weight and THEN went and gained 25 pounds! And cannot get it off either. Not that I have really tried all that hard, but jeez. I hate it too.

It must be so hard for both of you, Sarah. I must admit though, I am the defensive one in our family.

Claudia - how are you doing? How was your breastfeeding experience before stopping? Is DH still home with you?

[flutterbudget]

Hi. My name is Amy and I am a topic killer. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. :wink:

[DIVADLX]

Well, if there is any thread to announce your topic-killerhood, this is the one because it will never die!

mmmmwwwaaaahhhhh!

[haydensmom]

Sarah, I'm sorry things aren't better with dh. We did premarital counseling with our pastor before we got married and got the best piece of advice I've ever heard as far as communication. Each thought that you have is like a puzzle piece. When you need to talk, bring your "puzzle pieces" to the table and dh will bring his. The only rule is that you can't ever knock your spouse's puzzle piece off the table. He/She can take it down, but you can't ever ask for it to be removed or take it off yourself.

It has helped tremendously in our relationship! Perhaps you could use that way of looking at it (explain to dh as well). It could help!! Big hugs, girl!

Did someone say chub???? *stands up and waves* :oops: I miss my flat, toned stomach the most. I've always struggled with the hips/thighs/butt area, but man my tummy and arms used to be little at least. :roll: I'm still 20lbs from pre-prego weight (gained around 60). I'd like to lose 40 total. But I'm not dieting or exercising (other than taking walks with Hayden - not sure that counts).

[rhiannasmoms43]

Hi ladies, long time, no read...and therefore no time, long read :lol:

I just ate up the last couple of pages to bring myself up to speed.

Sarah: Totally know what you are going through, in fact I just posted about it the other day :roll: It is hard to not take it personally.

haydensmom: Great ideas for resolving conflict! Now if I can only explain this to dh without getting into an argument :roll:

Claudia: Sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. I'm glad you recognized that you need a bit of help to get through it. HUGS. Your little girl is so cute.

[MarchMommy]

Ive REALLY slacked on this thread ladies....im really sorry!!! I have been super busy with this cookbook thing, i havent checked in on you!

Claudia im going to be in your shoes soon, so im thinking of you girl!!!

[sunshine]

Claudia, I sent you a PM. Big hugs, hon.

Sarah, I hope your weekend away does good. I really like what Jess said about communication!

Candice - I feel ya, hon. I am now 10 pounds heavier than I was the day I walked into L&D to deliver Gavin....that's just pathetic and it's affecting everything I feel and do. Have you talked to your Dr? I've been working with mine for over 8 months now. I hired a personal trainer and worked out with them 3 days a week for 2 months...I didn't loose an OUNCE or an INCH! It was nuts. I do have an underactive thyroid which makes losing weight extremely difficult. Finally last week I made an appointment and paid out of pocket to see a "fat Dr." I can't lose the weight without medication and as sad as it is I can't live with myself this way anymore. :cry: So I know how you feel. Big hugs.

Pam - Hugs, hon. You are not a slut at all for wanting affection and sex. I hope one day you find the man who makes you feel the way you should.

[without]

I turned DH lack of wanting sex and now Michaels lack of affection around as if it reflects how much they love/like me and how attractive they find me. I know guys don't feel this way but its hard for me not to judge myself by the amount affection I get from the man I am with.

Claudia!!!!! I love love love the new picture!!!! Dani is such a sweet big sis!

So tomorrow I have a big date Dinner and a movie and I can't wait!!! Wahoo! I am even going and having my hair did! :wink:

[sunshine]

Have a great time tonight, Pam!

[BBKCD]

Have fun Pam! :D

[without]

The best part is I get 2 hours and 45 minutes of Morgans new daddy ... Capt. Jack Sparrow!!!!

[haydensmom]

Lol Pam!! I hope you have a wonderful time... new daddy Jack... bwahahahaha.. :lol:

[without]

I told my sister she could have orlando B but I get Capt. Jack!

LOL LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just thought of some thing!!! If I married Capt. Jack would Morgan become Capt. Morgan? LOL

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!

[Momto3]

II just thought of some thing!!! If I married Capt. Jack would Morgan become Capt. Morgan? LOL

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[newmami]

I am typing with one hand as Chris is fussy...... so excuse the typos

Pam, good luck with the date!! and as Debbie said, wanting affection and sex doesn't make you a slut, it only makes you human!!

Sarah, I am so sorry all you are going through, you are such a wonderful wife!! I hope you are able to have a heart to heart with DH, and fix the problems ** HUGS **

I am having another good day, I am going to go kiss my OB for giving me the zoloft!!! the only problem is it makes me warm (like I need help in this weather :? ) but I feel great!!! Still I am going to see a therapist next week, I have some attachment issues I need to resolve :(

Jenn, BF was quite an experience... the only problem is I never felt the bonding with Chris (courtesy of the PPD), but it was amazing being able to feed him... I am drying up, so I am pumping about 3x per day, and giving him whatever I get.

Ooh!!! forgot to tell you ladies that Chris LOVES the mei tai, he loves to sleep in there, being all squeezed and warm... I should take some pictures

Baby crying, time to go!!!

[BBKCD]

I told my sister she could have orlando B but I get Capt. Jack!

LOL LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just thought of some thing!!! If I married Capt. Jack would Morgan become Capt. Morgan? LOL

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!

LMAO...
And BTW, I want Orlando :wink:

[sunshine]

How was the date, Pam?

Glad you're feeling better, Claudia. And YAY for Chris liking the Mei Tai...can't wait to see pics of him in it!

[tralynne75]

I have missed alot in here, miss one day and you miss alot in this thread. LOL!!!

I did see something about Chubby... I don't have chub I have pure fat. Now Katie is my chub-chub.

I am going to the beach Saturday......wwwwhhhhhoooo hhhhhoooooo!!!!! Love the beach but hate bathingsuits. I think I have spen several hundred dollars just getting ready to go , not to mention the hotel room. :shock:

I took Katie to this zoo in Greensboro (an hour form me)It is a museum wih animals. I need to post them in pics, the tiger came right up to the window, like a dog at the door. Katie loved it!! And they had Gibbons that were so funny. They also came up to the window and was howling. :lol: I also have pics of Katie in the pool today with her bikini that my SIL bought. k going off to pics to post my sweetpea.

[without]

Hi girls the weekend was great. I have a lot of catching up to do so this is going to be short.

The movie was good but ended sad. Dinner was great and the company was OK. LOL

I just can't seem to get enough sleep! I am not sleepy but.. all I want to do is crawl in bed and sleep forever. I don't understand why I feel this way. Its pretty strange.

BTW pray for my family and EX DH's family. Grant has 6 days of freedom left and its really starting to hit him hard. I know he is getting what he asked for but... you can't help but feel his pain. Prison for 2 years is a long time. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Just pray Grant doesn't do any thing stupid. For the next 6 days we will be keeping Morgan inside and she wont be able to play out side at day care just to be on the safe side. :roll:

[sarahlynn]

HE just doesnt get it!!! we got home sunday and DH saw us for liek 30 mintues and than slept the rest of the day..i was a little irritated but know with the MS the sleeping is inevitable.. so i was kinda *****y but he says to me

"SO DO YOU GET WHERE I AM COMING FROM?"

i say yes but you need to understand that your not the only one who has to deal with the MS we do to..he says "NO YOU DONT" this pushed me over the edge i just dotn get how he can think i dotn have to deal with it..maybe not in the same ways he does since he has it but i deal with it everyday..UGH GRRR! so sunday sucked, yesterday sucked, our marrige is just lacking and there doent seem to be anything i can do about it..its sad but for the first time yesterday i thought our marrige might not be able to withstand this.. :(

[Bells614]

I'm lost on this thread too, but I'll do my best to catch up.

Pam, I don't know the entire story, but I hope that you and Morgan are safe. I'll be thinking about you and your family.

Sarah, it's got to be rough for your entire family. Have you guys thought about seeing a counselor, just to help with adjusting to the new life with MS?

Nothing is really new with me, I have my last week of this crazy 2 week economic class....first time I've ever really thought I might FAIL a class. I don't get it, I graduated with honors and have a 4.0 GPA in grad school, but I'm worried about failing Economics 210 at the community college. It's really stressful and then Friday evening a classmates cell phone made a beep and the instructor went psycho. Sent us all home 2 hours early saying "I CAN'T AND WILL NOT LECTURE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS!" It's crazy. He said all material will be on the test, even the lecture he did not get to (which isn't covered in the text). :roll: I just want a C.

Amanda's 1st Birthday Party is this coming Saturday. I can't believe my baby is turning 1!!!

[without]

We have a profess. who is that way too! If your phone even vibrates he is going to go nuts on you and dock your grade! It kills me how many students know this but still leave there phone on. I mean I understand if your a mom and need to be able to be in touch just in case some thing were to come up with your kids but not one of his grad students this year have kids! :roll: So in his case I agree with him! LOL To have a fit and cx the whole class is just dumb!

Hope you have fun with the birthday party. 1 year old wahoo!

[haydensmom]

I hate crazy profs like that!! I had a few in college as well!

I feel like I'm so behind in here.

Anyone do anything fun this weekend? We went camping and Hayden did awesome!! He's such a trooper!

[CandiceLeigh]

Dumb question, I need to submit a pic for the cookbook and I wanted ya'lls opinion on which one to submit. :oops: The 1st or the 2nd or they both suck, I should take a new one? See, in both pics my hair is just up and I have no make-up on...he looks so different in both pics too. I'm thinking, take a new one. Which means I would actually have to fix my hair and put on make-up :roll:

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i279/candiceleighfy/HPIM1337-1.jpg

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i279/candiceleighfy/christopher055-2.jpg

K, sorry for the dumb question :oops:

[Bells614]

Yup, he's a nut job. Crappy thing is that I need this class as a requirement for certification...and if I fail, I'm limited on my time to try to get it in....and I have a full schedule through December (my deadline) :roll:

I'm trying to get the birthday party together and DH is being a big help, but at the same time, it's not going to be anything too elaborate. We rented a shelter at the park, the play ground and an open field are right there next to the shelter. We will cook out and have a cake and presents....nothing too fancy. I figure she will not know the difference.

Anyone have the V Smile Baby? We just bought it for Amanda last night. It's a birthday gift, but she will get it before her party. We figure she will have enough to open then. It looked cool at the store, but I also caught myself thinking "I just bought my one year old a video game!"

[chellebelle32]

Candice, I love the top one. You look beautiful without makeup.

[Bells614]

I like the top one too!

[YellowRose]

Candice, they are both ADORABLE pictures, but I really like the second one.

[rhiannasmoms43]

Candace,
I like both but the top one is full of fun. I think I like it best.

Sarah, I cannot imagine why your dh thinks that you aren't being affected by the MS. It sounds like he is having a one man pity party...definitely need couselling for this one, he may be depressed.

[CandiceLeigh]

Thanks everyone! I was thinking the top one too...if I had asked DH he'd be like, "what's the difference?" :roll: Thanks!

edited for grammar :wink:

[without]

I like the first one just because Chris is older in that one and it shows a little more of his personality! I also agree you are very pretty with or with out make up!

[sunshine]

I like the top pic best. Remember, it's going to be in black and white, so you won't be able to tell you aren't wearing make-up. Even so, you look great without it!

[without]

Oh, my gosh!!! I went to bed at 8:45 last night! As soon as Morgan went to sleep at 8:30 (early for her) the dogs and I headed to bed! :shock: I normally go to bed around midnight and get up at 4:30! So when I woke up at 4:30 you would think I would have been refreshed and ready to go but NOOOO I rolled over and hit the snooze button! I need a 6 month vacation! :lol:

[stephiegirl]

I need to go to bed earlier. I have never been someone that functions well without sleep. My goal is to be in bed by 9 tonight!

We have a Friday night wedding this week. (a shotgun wedding actually)

I can't even really have anything to drink at the wedding because I am having tests done next week because we are thinking of doing another IVF. And.... I think it is supposed to rain this weekend!

[sarahlynn]

awww Candice the are both great..but i like the bottom one :lol: i always gotta be differnt ya know..


I think Dh needs some type of counseling or meds for his moods i can totally see him depressed off and on..he is the type who thinks support groups are just peopel doing nothing but whineing about their lives :roll: so support groups arent for himi guess..i might look into some for me with maybe other spouses and family dealing with MS

[rhiannasmoms43]

That would br good for both of you. You need that kind of supportive environment to feel like you aren't alone in this as well.
Good luck! I hope that you find a good group.

thats great stephanie!! lots of luck with that....

Steph! Good luck if you decided to do it! Keep us in the loop on what you all do!

[haydensmom]

Oh Steph, good luck with everything! Maybe we'll be pregnant again together! :vibes:

Hayden is teething today and absolutely miserable! Poor little guy. :(

[YellowRose]

Good luck Steph! Keep us posted!!!

[without]

Poor Hayden and Mama! Hope he gets some pain free sleep! :wink:

[newmami]

Hey girls, between the long weekend and having DH at home yesterday, I was unable to check in!!!

Pam, sorry about Grant, I hope he doesn't do anything crazy, and I hope the 2 years go by fast for him. I can understand you feeling sorry for him, he is miss M's dad!

Kelly, I cannot believe Amanda is almost 1!! soon we will be planning the 2 year old parties!! :(

Sarah, I am sorry things are so bad with DH, I do believe he is depressed and he would benefit from therapy. The lady at my work who has MS says depression is pretty common, and the MS just makes it worse!! I hope things get better between you guys, and that he admits he needs help

Things at my house are still the same, Chris is having a hard time sleeping (he sleeps just a little and naps really bad), so he is fussy and wants to be held most of the times... and I have no idea how to handle it!!! :?
Dani is being a doll, even when it is time for nap, she climbs on her bed and lays down... I just love her!!
I am fine, I went to the Therapist yesterday and she gave me good advise about the way I am feeling... she told me tons of things DH and my parents already warned me about (you cannot be super mom, establish your priorities, take time for yourself and for DH)... so I have to work on those
The best thing she said was to allow myself to feel frustrated, depressed, cheated, etc! not to fight those feelings but accept them, that is the first step to healing

Things with DH are not great, it seems to me that he is in his own world and ignoring me, he remembers me when he wants sex, and b/c of the Zoloft I don't want any :? .... but we haven't talked like we used to do... sometimes I feel we are drifting apart, or just growing in 2 different directions... so I am close to officially having a mid life crisis!!!

[sarahlynn]

Awww girl i can honestly say i feel ya in the DH department..its seems like sometimes the more stuff your life takes on, babies, jobs, work, chores, housework, school, stres the more you grow in your own directions...hang in there..i am glad you met with a therapist..i need to do that to..how is the zoloft working for you?

[DIVADLX]

You guys hear from Tracy today? Her apt was today and I have been worried about her...

[without]

Nope I have not heard from Tracy but I have not been on to much.

Claudia I hate that feeling like you and DH are growing apart after the baby comes. For me it wasn't DH but me. I was just to tired by the time I got her to sleep to even try to sit down and share any thing with him and it seemed like the only time I did talk to him was to b#t@h about some thing. It was wrong on my part but I know now its a phase a lot of us go through. Good luck with DH. I know how much you dislike your job and the tought of going back must be pretty stressful too! Big hugs!



HELP

OK so Martha comes over last night and right when she walks in the door she says "oh, look she doesn't even know who I am! She is running from me." I wanted to scream get out right then and there! Morgan didn't run from her she just didn't run to her! She knows who Martha is she just doesn't care for her! So I just have to remove myself. I leave Morgan in the living room with Martha and I go into the other part of the house to finish grooming. The whole time I am in ther Martha is talking smack about me thinking I can't hear her. Jeeze my daughter is right there and can hear every word! So I walk through the house to put the wet dog towel in the washer (side note this was the worst matted stinky blind dog I have ever groomed!) and Martha says. "I want to start picking Morgan up from Day care twice a week and taking her to the pool". Ummm... she doesn't even know where Morgan's day care is and I don't want her to know! Also note that she hit me with this when I was up to my ears in dog hair and very stressed. I was shocked she would even ask such a thing! And with all the pool safty talk we have been having I wouldn't feel safe sending Morgan to the pool with ANY ONE but me! I was quite and didn't answer her so she just kept going on and on. I told her I had to think about how to respond to the question and walked out. I started thinking maybe I am being mean...maybe I am being over protective. So then the next shocker comes. I am done with grooming the dog walk back out into the living room (the TV is blasting) and no Martha or Morgan! :shock: :shock: :shock: Grant (EX DH) in on the love seat and says mom took her for a walk down the road!!!! Fear washes over my body. They were gone for 15 mintes and I was feaking out! To make a long story short after talking with friends and family I don't feel as if I am being over protective and even if I am she is my child and I shouldn't feel bad about saying no! I am not keeping Morgan and Martha apart I am just keeping it in a controlled area where I feel comfortable. I don't hover when she is at the house I leave the two of them alone in the living room.

So here is my question.....
I am going to send Martha a letter stating that I do not want her to pick Morgan up from daycare and they will not be going to the pool. How should I write this letter. I am thinking make it simple Like Dear Martha, At this time I am sorry I just don't feel comfortable letting Morgan go any where with out her Mom. You may feel as if I am being a over protecive but as her mom I have to do what I feel is right. As always feel free to call and set up a time to come by the house and see her and play with her at our house when ever you want.
Please help me write this letter! Do you think I should give more details? Like I don't want her to be with you for XYZ or should I leave it veag like above. Sorry if I am going on an on I just don't know what to say!

Thanks!

Ok, hi, I'm back! We chopped down three 40 year old trees and I feel like a murderer and my yard looks like kandahar, barren and wasted with graves (literally) where the trees were. :oops:

My MIL died the day after mother's day and yesterday she was interred after 4 'funerals'. She basically suffocated to death at age 77 not from smoking but from a chronic disease (scleroderma) that destroyed her lungs then heart. She raised SIX children alone as her husband died of cancer when her youngest (my DH) was three. Six kids, single handed and she went back to school and fininshed her degree the year after she buried her husband so she could better support her family :shock: So she ended up raising an entrepreneur, two lawyers, an architect, a nurse, and a piano teacher. She had 14 grandchildren and to a child, they are amazing. And, she truly enjoyed her life. When DH was 18, she married a nice doctor and moved from the prairies to the seaside.

I have one (easy) baby and lots of help and I find it hard.
:?
Seven years ago, I ended up suicidally depressed . Luckily, I someone convinced (forced) me to go to a very good therapist. I went for therapy for , oh, hmmm, uhh, eight long years. It is a really really long story but I just want to say, it really helped me heal and not be depressed. The drugs I was prescribed helped a bit but not as much as therapy did. When I started going, if I had any clue I'd be going for years, I wouldn't have wanted to go. I could not have gone.
When I read of the struggles of my secret APA friends my heart goes out to you and I hope so much that you can find therapy (traditional talk, alternative, herbal, pharmaceutical) help that works, and, from my experience, stick with it? It may take longer to 'get better' than you may have anticipated.

OK, thats it, all done. Please carry on. And party on, it is spring and life is short and I guess I'm on a soapbox today...

[newmami]

^ oh Honey! I am sorry about your MIL, and your story... big hugs

Pam, I don't think you need to give Martha more explanation than "I don't feel comfortable", and she needs to understand, if she doesn't, it is her problem

So our AC broke yesterday.. yes it is fun being on a 90 F weather without AC.... all the windows are open, but there is no much breeze, and I cannot go out b/c the tech is coming to repair it... ugh!!!

And things with Dh are not getting better..........

[without]

Oh, Claudia! So sorry when it rains it poors!


My fear with the EX Mother in Law is "Grandparents rights". Sigh... any one know the laws on this kind of thing?

[sarahlynn]

OMG I WANT THE LABS IN THE LULU BANDS...i can PM you my addres and you can send them to me..OK ? OK ? OK ? k?


Pam Pam Pam i dont blame you at all you haev every right to feel this way you are the mama...your start of your letter was perfect and polite..go with it and stick to your guns..

OMG NO AIR icky..all we have is a window AC but it does the trick..keeps us cool when its hot hot hot in ND..

UGH iam all stressed out .. on my last pap they found precancerous cells..so i have to go in tomarow for a colp to see if naything needs to be done about them.. :(

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO me and DH batteled it out last night..i mean battel like separation menioned..but overall what it came down to was stress...he is so stressed abotu everything with his job, MS, money, everything..so my moaning and growning about money pushed things over the edge..i am always worried about money adn he is terrible with money so bad bad bad combo..but in the end i ploped myself down on his lap..told him how much i really lvoe him and that all this needs to stop..we cant fret everyday over things we cannot control..i need to stop being such a money biatch and he needs to stop being well just a biatch..i also emailed his mom and she is gonna help me get him a golf membership for fathers day to help him keep busy this summer..he is sitting hoem alll day thinking bout how bad things are NO GOOOD.

[chellebelle32]

Pam, I don't know anything about grandparents rights. From what you are saying, you aren't going to stop her from seeing Morgan. You just don't want her to take her away without you being there. I don't blame you a bit. They way she took off with her last night without telling you was just wrong IMHO.

[akadusk]

Ok I have tried but I am going to just jump in on this thread because I like the whole idea but I just annot read all of the previous posts :shock: I am a reader too but there at just soooooo many to catch up on. I have to say that I have felt the same way about being a post killer and I crack up every time I see the number of reponses to this one thread :D I'm in! I will catch up some day. I am sorry to hear what is goin on in the last few posts. I truely hope things get better soon for you all.

[Momto3]

Pam - Start the letter, "Dear Whackjob..." just kidding, but the way you wrote it was perfect. Don't give her more details. You are Miss M's mother and you don't need to explain yourself. I would also be more concerned with your Ex just ploping himself on your couch! Sorry you are going through this!


::Sigh:: My Uncle (godfather) died this morning and today is my father's birthday...blech

[YellowRose]

:shock: Pam, I cannot believe she just left with Morgan like that, even if it was just for a walk! I would have totally flipped out... especially since Grant was sitting there on the couch! I don't think you're being over protective of Morgan at all. YOU are her mother, YOU decide what is best for her and there is NO need for you to have to explain your reasonings. I think the letter you wrote is good, brief and to the point. Hugs! Sorry you're going through this!!!

Claudia, I know just how you feel.. our ac is broken too. We've had a couple HOT days.... yesterday and Tuesday were absolutely miserable! I hope you are able to get yours fixed soon! HUGS!!!

[without]

It all sounds nice about me being the mom and me making the rules but when it comes down to it ...Law may be the one making the rules and if she takes me to court then the courts could rule that she gets over night visitation! :shock: I think I would run away with Morgan if they did that.

[without]

BTW

This post has 15 more days until it is


1 year old!!! OMG!!!

[YellowRose]

Do grandparents have rights like that? I had no idea that she could actually take you to court over it. Hmm. That's kinda crazy!!!


SERIOUSLY?!?! I cannot believe this post has been going on for a YEAR!!!!

[without]

Yep she sure can! Any grandparent can take you to court over granparent rights. She may not win but she sure could drain me of any money I have or will ever have wrapping me up in att. fees and court cost! Its a new thing and Grandparents ever where are now sueing there ex in laws to get legal visitation rights. I think if they get visitation they should also have to pay child support lord knows Grant doesn't pay any!

[YellowRose]

That's ridiculous!!! I hope the whole thing works out for you! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this!!!!

[newmami]

Lynn, so sorry about your Uncle ** HUGS **

Pam, you are not hidding Morgan from the grandparents, just establishing the rules. If she gets upset, just tell her you are an overprotectve mother and cannot help it!! tell her is not personal, it is just you

Sarah, I am so happy you were able to have a good conversation with DH... I know I need that too, but DH is too busy on the computer figuring out how to spend money on crap.... he has this idea of getting into remote control helicopters, and is OBSESSED about it........ a year ago it was cameras and he spent all this ridiculous amount of money on camera, lens, lights, etc... that he has used only 2 times!!!! guess who takes most of the pictures??? me with my $150 camera!!!

Should we make a cake to celebrate the 1 year of this thread?????????
so much for a topic killer Pam!!! :wink:

Yay!! the AC guy is here!!! I guess there are advantages when you live on a rental, the Management company takes care of everything!!

[without]

Aly,
Love love love the new siggy pic!

[YellowRose]

Thanks Pam! Dh was just pulling in the driveway when I took that picture. Both Caleb and Sam were excited to see him. I thought it was so cute and I love how the sun was shining in on them!

[akadusk]

Just wanted to get this back on page one. How is everyone doing? I hope we are all enjoying the weekend!

[haydensmom]

I have been so bad about keeping up with this post lately. :oops:

I can't believe grandparents can have rights like that. But it's not like you aren't allowing her to visit Morgan... ugh that's so annoying! :(

Sarah, I'm glad you and dh had a talk! I hope things start looking up for you guys!

Claudia, I'm sorry to hear about everything with dh. Is there any possibility that he is going through similar (depressed) feelings as you? Just a thought... I hope not, but it's a thought. Men go through things like that after a baby as well. :(

One sentence will sum up my week: MIL is in town. :roll:

[hanvan]

I'm pretty sure the only way grandparents have any rights is if the bio. parent has passed away. I saw a special about something like that and its what they said. I'd check into that if I were you

[without]

bio: dad will be going to prison in the next 3 weeks. This also invokes the grandparents right. I think when they give grandparents more rights than the parents its wrong! I don't think we should keep our kids from there grandma and grandpa but we should have some say at what goes on when they are with them and how much time they spend.

Jess have fun with MIL! :lol:

[mrssabrina]

i dont know what this discussion about but i coudlnt believe how long it was and i wanted to be part of it lol

[without]

Its about any thing and every thing! Its to vent or brag or talk about random things!

Like for example


Girls.... I need a good bread rec.!!!

Any one have one thats pretty easy but taste yummy? I tried one and it wasn't so great in fact it was down right nasty! LOL

[Bells614]

I sure don't have a bread recipe....sorry!

I finished my economics class...now I'm just holding out hope that I passed! I really don't have time to take it again...and I just started two new classes today. It's official, I'M INSANE!

Amanda's first birthday party went really well. The weather was perfect ( little windy, but nice). She got soooo much stuff! So many people bought her clothes and they are super cute, just the wrong size....moose baby is starting into a 3T and everything given was 24 months or 2T. I've gotta find some time to exchange them.

How was everyone's weekend?

[Momto3]

Isn't that the worst when you try a recipe that sounds so yummy but then it turns out nasty and you are disappointed because you spent time on it and you were expecting something good?

[sarahlynn]

hmm its been a long long time since i have been in here..OK just the weekend but lots happens in this little post..

how was everyone weekend...???

me, MIL, FIL suprised DH with a golf membership..he was so surprised didnt expect a thing..it will be good to keep him out of the house and busy this summer..

i was a little irritated last night with him he was at a friends house playing Halo with a bunch of guys till 2:00 in the morn :( i hated getting the kids ready for bed and going to sleep all by myself..i mean he could be doing worse things but it would have been nice ot have him home on a sunday night with me..

i talked with my sister over the weekend about trying to get pregnant again (her) she said 2-3 months before they will try again..and they are concerned about her uterus it seems to be wanting to get rid of anything inside of it..kinda scary..but they are gonna let her try one more time and than if she does loose another pregnancy they will do a bunch more tests..if things dont work out this time i am gonna offer to carry the baby/babies for her..

weather was super here this weekend..went to the zoo, carnival, did water balloons.

[YellowRose]

Pam... do you have a bread machine? I have a very tasty whole wheat bread recipe I can give you, if you do!

Jess... I hope you week with your MIL goes well. I'll be in the same boat at the end of the week. My MIL, step-FIL and BIL will be here Friday afternoon. I am sooooo nervous! I'm afraid she'll try to do things her way with Caleb and criticize my parenting methods. She had a complete fit when she found out we gave him a paci when he was a newborn. She saw a picture of him with it in his mouth and called Dh telling him how horrible paci's are and that we'll make him depend on it. :roll: I am hoping everything goes smoothly though.... we'll see.

[without]

Kelly,
I am glad to hear the birthday party went well! I don't mind going to the store to return things unless its the week or two after Christmas! :shock: No thanks!

I hate it when you spend a bunch of time on some thing like bread and wate all those ingred. and it turns out bad and then your thinking great now what are we going to have for dinner! Thank goodness Morgans favorite dinner is green beans! She can make a meal out of veggies! LOL

I don't have a bread machine. Maybe I should ask Santa for one! :wink:

[newmami]

ALy, good luck with the inlaws

DH and I had a long conversation and we know now where the other one stands, it was nice..... we are having major financial problems, where we are even considering bankruptcy..... anyways, I need to do some research on what we can do to get rid of our stupid debt before it consumes me..... we agreed that if something is to be ruined, it would be our credit, and not our family

[without]

Claudia,
I am glad you and your DH could talk. $ problems suck! I agree with the thinking that I would rather have poor credit than a poor marriage! If you ever need some one to talk to I am here!

[Bells614]

Claudia, I am so happy that you two were able to talk. It's the only thing that got DH and I back on track. We just were not able to sit down and have a heart to heart for weeks. It takes it's toll.

My MIL just left today, BUT I'm a lucky one and LOVE my MIL. It's the FIL that lives fairly close that is the problem....


So, do you ladies remember my crazy economics professor.......

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sooooo stressed about this class and weather I was putting Amanda and DH through hell while I attempted this thing with a strong possibility of failing. Some how I managed to pass it.

I will NEVER do another intersession class, that was two weeks of hell, every night for 4 hours. ICK!

[haydensmom]

Oh Amanda, I'm so happy you passed! Congratulations! :D

Claudia, I'm so glad you and dh were able to finally find some time to talk things out. Money problems put so much stress on a marriage!! I hope everything works out!

Good luck Aly!

[without]

I am not sure where to put this post and I know that APA doesn’t like us to double post but I would like to make sure that this is seen.


Thank you so much to the APA mommy who sent Morgan and I the gift card for Wal-Mart! I cried big buckets of tears and then called my mom and we both prayed that who ever you are that God would bless you a thousand times over! We also prayed that some day I would be in a situation to bless some one the way you have blessed me. There was no name on the card so I will assume you want to be anonymous and wont ask you to tell me who you are. God bless you who ever you are! I am excited to say that Morgan and I will be going to Wal-Mart tonight to get her some fresh fruit! I will also be able to buy some food so that Morgan and I can have a picnic this weekend! It will be great to do some thing with Morgan that isn’t work related! Thank you so much!

I will never forget the APA kindness!
Pamela

[Momto3]

That is so awesome cool! Very sweet of whoever sent it and you and Morgan deserve it!

[without]

Thank you! I work 6 days a week and 5 days of that I work 2 jobs. I have been wanting to do some thing fun with Morgan but just couldn't afford it. This will be such a blessing to be able to go get some food and take her to the park!

[Momto3]

Yay! Have a great picnic and love her up a bunch!

[YellowRose]

That was so very sweet of whoever sent that to you! Have fun at the park this weekend!!!

[without]

Forgot to say Wahooo!!! Glad you passed! I know it was rough but aren't you so glad thats over! :)

[newmami]

Awww Pam, that is so sweet!! I hope the person who sent you the card gets in touch with you. Have fun at the picnic

YAY Kelly for passing Economics!! (I HATED it in College)

So it looks like DH and I would file bankruptcy for chapter 13.... our credit card debt is almost 70k, so there is NO WAY we can pay it off!! it would suck not having credit, but I would be able to sleep at nights with the restructuring..... and if everything goes well, when Dani starts school we will be DEBT FREE!! (which means we may be able to afford private school!!!)
The other thing we talked about is moving from FL... in maybe 4-5 years.... I AM SO TIRED OF THIS CITY!!!!

I need to finish my birth announcements, I am slacking BIG TIME!!! :oops:

[Bells614]

Thank you girls!
It is so nice to have it done with. After those two weeks, the last thing I wanted to do last night was go to class, but I did. I have an awesome teacher for this political science class. Totally laid back and low key. It shall be a good one. I'm slowly working on this online "scavenger hunt." It is not due for a while, but Manda is napping and I don't feel like cleaning.

Claudia, if bankruptcy works for you guys, then go for it. I can't imagine the stress that amount of debt is putting on you.

[without]

Claudia its so easy to get into debt and if chapter 13 will help you sleep better at night I say go for it! We all know your not doing it abusing the system. This is why we have things like Chapter 13 in place is to help people in need.

online "scavenger hunt." That sounds like my kind of assignment! I would love it! LOL

[haydensmom]

Just a quick note, MIL IS GONE!!! :lol:

[newmami]

Woo hoo for MIL gone!!

I am starting to get depressed about going back to work... ugh!!! not that being a SAHM is really for me (I get too bored), but really, I don't feel like going back to work and deal with the crap... all I hope is that my new position is a good to go, so I don't have to deal with certain people at the office

[Bells614]

YEA Jess!!!!!

You survived!

You ladies make me so happy to have a great MIL. Now, if I could only do something about FIL......

[sarahlynn]

whats going on in here .. its been awhile!

YAY for passing how cool..i only have 3 classes left and i wil be done with school..it feels so good to be just about done

claudia money issues suck..that is the #1 reason me and DH fight and it gets so old and we only have probubly $500 in CC debt but tis to much as far as i am concerned..so we are working on paying it down..

i am gettin my hair cut on friday YAY

[Bells614]

Sarah, do you graduate in December? I thought I was done last May, but NOOOOO. I decide grad school looks good :roll:

It will be worth it when I have summers off and two weeks around Christmas :wink:

[sarahlynn]

[CandiceLeigh]

Are you going to do the pink? That's so cool! I have always wanted to put some dark pink streaks in my hair 8) I would still love too, but I don't think I'm allowed to at work. :roll:

[haydensmom]

Well if they said no, you could do brown/blond instead. That way you still have that contrast... or do a color closer to natural redhead - they can't exactly say red hair isn't allowed if it looks natural. :wink:

I love the cut!

[without]

Any good ideas for keeping bugs off Morgan and I when play outside. The sketo's are eating us up! :shock:

[sarahlynn]

Guess they're trying to up the ante of the new one with percardin (bug spray)...but, I'm like, "so what if it's DEET free--what the heck is percardin?"

[hanvan]

Oh ok...I saw it on the news. It seems a little too much for me.

Any one have any big weekend plans?

Truth is I have been dreading the weekend. I don't have any plans and I have to work on Saturday and Church on Sunday. I hate weekends that are all work and no play. Maybe the sun will come out and I can take Morgan out side. :D

[sarahlynn]

hmmm well iam kinda dissapointed with my hair :( i like it i have had it cut like this before but she totally didnt listen to what i wanted..and we didnt have time to color it the kids were so restless after 1 hour of hair cutting..that there was no way another 1 1/2 horus of coloring would work out..but she cut it in a really cute short chin length bob..but i asked her to leave the fron longer but she didnt not sure what land she was in when i was talking to her but she just didnt get it..oh well mayeb i can get in for color anothe rtime.its much nicer for summer..shorter adn lighter so thats nice..and it will grow back..hmmm sorry i was hopeign to come back with a brand new look but i just dotn feel that way ..

would someone call home and see how far DH is on the floorig..anyone ever lay laminate floorign the wook looking kind? it looked hard onlne but everyone said how easy it is..

i am at work right now..the kids are at my parents so they are out of DH way so he can work on the floors..we are going to the carnival tonight to take the kids ont he rides..i will takel ots of pics..and maybe youll get a sneek peak at my hair .. believe me its nothign exciteing..sorry i feel kida bummed about it..mayeb it was my fault i let her talk me out of a shorter cut cause myhair is so straight and she kept syaing that it would be so much more work..but oh well.. :D

i saw a rainbow this morn adn it wasnt raining :D

[Heather J]

I stll want to see your hair Sarah! I bet it looks great.

I'm getting mine cut too next week. Not sure what I'm going to do, but it desperately needs it. I haven't had it cut since A was 10 weeks old. :shock: Plus, with baby #2 on the way, I think I need something shorter...

[akadusk]

Ah man! Now I really want to cut my hair! maybe I can do it myself....so not serious...dh would KILL me! He has this thing about hair and shoes. He says those are the two things you shouldn't be cheap on. Pay to have your hair done well and buy good shoes...aka..expensive but comfy. can't wait to see the cut! I was actually thinking of going for the cut you had...I like it and it has been forever since my hair was that short....like four years.

[Bells614]

I'm sorry Sarah...go for the color when you can. Maybe that will spice it up for ya! I put highlights in my hair before our trip, I had never put any color or done much of anything to my hair other than cut it. It was a shocker!

My dad put down the exact laminate flooring your talking about. He said it was super easy (and he has major health issues that make it harder on him), but he is also very, very handy....so he makes just about anything sound easy...how helpful am I???? Sorry.

The carnival sounds like fun! We are going to a Baseball game tonight....Amanda's first major league game!

[Heidi]

I want to see your hair too!!!

Ballroom dancing, man I don't have the energy for that but I sure like to watch it!! Do you do it a lot of just you can do it?

I was just curious if anyone line danced, it was random. I used to back in the college days, good exercise if you do it long enough and not really very boring.

I love rainbows, I think I miss that most about Hawaii

[without]

OOH OOH!!! Where are the pic's of the new hair do??? did you do it???


Ballroom dancing, man I don't have the energy for that but I sure like to watch it!! Do you do it a lot of just you can do it?

I used to go twice a week but since having Ms. Morgan well... I never seem to be able to get away so all the dancing I do is with her. :lol:

I seem to be going picture crazy today! LOL

[haydensmom]

Morgan is so beautiful! I love seeing her!

[Bells614]

Those a great pics Pam!!! Your mom looks like she could be your sister! And Morgan is cute as ever!!!!

[without]

My mom and I have always got that from people. Even when I was 15 we got "you girls must be sisters" all the time. :lol: I hope I say looking young like my mom has. :wink:

[newmami]

Pam, those are beautiful pictures!!! I love Morgan's dress.

Sarah, sorry the haircut wasn't what you expected. I need to do mine as well, and I have an idea on what I want, but I am scared that it would look terrible on me... I HATE that I need to tell the hairdresser what to do, she is the one who went to school, right???????

It is sooo hot in here I don't even feel like moving!!! going out is like entering a steam room, so miserable I just want to stay home, but Dani & Chris get cabin fever.... my only safe place to go is the mall, where Dani can play in the playground and I enjoy the A/C!!!

So this week DH's son is at home, which means I have to babysit, and take him around wherever I want to go.... ugh!! it would have been nice if DH asked me if I was OK babysitting, he knows his son and I don't get along well..... and I just punished him because Daddy said no TV until 3 pm, I go upstairs and what is he doing??? WATCHING TV!!! so I said no TV for the rest of the day!!! (he doesn't do much other than TV and videogames)

And now that we are ranting, why is is that I have to understand and suck up that DH wants sex all the time, but he cannot understand and suck up the fact that I have ZERO interest in sex?????? :?

My MIL got Dani a doll and I gave it to her today, because her maternal instincts are kicking in BIG TIME... it was sooo cute to see her putting her down and covering with a blanket!! she does the same to Chris, when he cries, she tries to give him the paci, and cover him with a blanket


TRACY, where are you???????

I love watching Morgan do things like that! She always gives her bunny some of her sippy! :lol:

[newmami]

I found this on the second page :(

We took Chris for his 2 months appt (already???) he is 12 lb!!! :shock: 1 month ago he was only 8 lb... hello piggy!!!! He is 23.25 inch and is pretty healthy. He got his shots and he is MISERABLE!!! he has a fever and is grumpy, and he wants to cuddle with Mama.. poor thing :cry:

I have a question for baby wearing moms, what do you think about the pouch slings???????

[without]

I saw it the post slipping yesterday and thought yep thats it after all this time I truly am the killer! :roll:

Poor Chris and having to have his shots! I am in shock that he is already 2 months! Didn't you just have him yesterday? :wink:

As far as baby wearing when Morgan was small I used this one.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2422838

I didn't like it. Her legs turned purple if she was in it more than 30 minutes and I wore her all the time. Then when she was about 6 months is when i learned about the M. T. and I love it.

[chellebelle32]

I think Jenny (crunchymom) used a solarveil pouch, but I could be wrong.

[haydensmom]

How in the world is Chris already two months???? :shock: Sounds like he's doing great!!!

I have a New Native pouch right now, but I reaaaaaaaly want a Maya wrap (sling) because they are adjustable. I actually just contacted Heather J about possibly making me one, so you could always talk to her. She has the cutest fabrics!!

Jenny does have a solarveil and I would also love one of those. They protect from the sun, which would be great for you down in FL! Plus, they are cooler, which would also be good for you. I would probably suggest that more for you than anything else.

I still wear Hayden in the New Native right now and he is happy in it, even lying down. Of course, his legs stick out, but he's content when he's napping in there. I use it mostly for the hip carry, though. :D


So... our walls on our house are going up! I'm going to go and take pictures either tomorrow or Friday, so I'll post them. I'm super excited.

Oh but get this! The whole time we've been talking with the Ryan representative (who we signed our contract with, our contact basically) she has said that we could put on a 12 foot deck and then we'd have a 28 foot yard after that. Well just the other day (for about the fifth time) we went and looked at the property and asked her about it because the building line is definitely not 12 feet. She tells us that she made a mistake with the measurement and that it's really only allowed to be a 7 foot deck. :evil: I'm sorry, but that is your job... so we're going to bring it up in closing and hopefully they'll do something about it. That's a huge difference.

[without]

Ugh! Sorry about the deck! I hope they can knock of a big chunk of $ for telling you wrong!

[sarahlynn]

ok ladies i am upset with you all..this was somewhere on page 2 :lol:


well thank god its thrusday..me and DH finally reconciled after i hated him for messing with my floors.he bought me a huge bag of peanut mm's, i told him it was the only way to make things better..

its gonna be a nice weekend so i think i will take the kids to the pool..get soem color..darn my legs need a tan..i could blind someone..

get this..i was putting lucea in her carseat yesterday and it felt awful loose so i look and it was ubuckled..the tether strap was hooked to the back window but the actually seat belt was unhooked.. :shock: i am thinking one of the kids cy or his friend msut has unhooked it by accident when they took their belts off...i have no clue how long she has been unhooked..

[Heidi]

Sarah, I just love that siggy picture. Yikes about being unbuckled.

Love Love MORGAN's new pictures!

JESS ~ Argh, I hate when they don't check things and tell you it's ok. I hope you get something out of it.

We are fighting swim lessons again this morning. Kenny-Ray loves to swim once he gets in. He doesn't love to listen or get in though. I'm not sure I can handle three more weeks of this! It's cost me money, trains, candy & a trip to chuck e cheese. I think I'm on the sucker end of this battle. LOL. Oh well, at least he finally gets in.

Luci June should be walking any day now. I think I am ready for it now. She's getting so heavy (by that I mean for me to carry ~ so I guess i am wimpy).

[without]

My mom did the same thing one time with Morgan only the seat was buckled but Morgan was just sitting free in the seat! Its a wonder Morgan didn't just crawl down and start to play. :roll: I think we all do things like that every now and then!

Thanks about the siggy picture!

[sarahlynn]

morgan is a dollin the siggy pic..looks like she has a tan..i love sunkissed babies..lucea has the best skin just like DH all olive colored and tan..me and cy are ghost white :roll: go figure..

YAY FOR LUCI JUNE i am so excited for her..walking is so much fun..it makes the summer tons of fun when they can treck around all over on two feet..

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in here in forever, I've been such a slacker. :roll:

Pam, I love the Mother's Day pics. Morgan looks so cute in her dress and you look great! :D

Claudia, I can't believe Chris is 2 months! :shock: Seems like time flew, when do you have to go back to work? BTW, got the announcement and Chris looks sooooo cute! Thanks! :wink:

Sarah, I want to see your hair! Sucks you didn't get to do the color though. I would love to do some fun color myself, but it's a bit to expensive at the moment. :roll: I love your sig of Lucea, she looks so darn cute in that dress! Chewing on that (I'm not sure what those things are called) looks like something Chris would do. I'm glad you and DH reconciled, my DH on the other hand... :evil:

Jess, sorry about the deck :? That must be annoying. It must be exciting to see your house coming together though. When will it be finished? I can't wait to see your pics when it's all finished. How are you going to decorate Hayden's room?

Things have been going pretty good in Chris' house, other than DH getting on my nerves. He's been PMSing this week and I am so over it. :roll: Chris has become a great little walker and I tried to let him walk around the bookstore the other day...he took off! :shock: I didn't even know he could walk that fast! My cousin who was with me at the time said that wasn't walking it was running! :lol: It was really cute, but I think I might have to get him a backpack leash thingy. *no flames* I'm ready for him to be able to walk when we go out without me worrying about him running off. Also, we bought him a pool this weekend and I got the cutest pics of him. I need to post them, he looked so cute but darn it, he kept pulling clumps of grass out and throwing them in the pool! He thought it was funny, so in all the pics you can see grass floating around in the pool. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

Awww Candice..i had to laugh cause just yesterday i said to my DH..GOD YOU ARE SO HARD TO LIVE WITH YOUR SO PMSy :lol: maybe we shoudl move our DH's in with each other and get ourselves a nice new place..they can be all pissy together..

i want to see pool pics..lucea tosses everything in hers..rocks, dirt, gras, toys, small animals.

[BBKCD]

Ok, Pam stated in another thread that tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of this thread...It doesn't seem possible, does it? :shock:

[newmami]

Jess, sorry about the bad communication about the deck... SUCKS!!

I left Danielle unbuckeld once as well, and she almost fell from the carseat!!! happens to all of us I guess........

Candice, I hear you on the leash... Dani likes to take off as well, and DH and I talked about the leash the other day!!!
Sorry your DH is PMS, mine was like that last week...... ugh!! but then I gave him some and now he is happy again

So I gave Dani some play dough and she didn't liked it... but she LOVES sidewalk chalk, she was having a blast!!! too bad it rains all afternoon, otherwise we could do more things outside
And Chris is officially a mama's boy!! he only calms down when he is with me :oops:

So ladies, you should start receiving my very very late birth announcements soon!!!

[Heidi]

I used a leash with Kenny-Ray on multiple occasions and I would do it again in a heartbeat! It gives them freedom and me peace of mind!

Swim lessons went ok today, it only cost me a happy meal today. Only three weeks left.

Sidewalk chalk is fun, I just bought some sidewalk paint. I'm a little nervous to use it though.

[without]

I hated my swimming lessons! I am still afraid to get my face wet! I went 3 years in a row all for a choco shake on the way home! :shock:

I gave Morgan side walk chalk and she ate it!

I am buying a safty harness before our next vacation!

[Heidi]

Yah, he only drank the shake, hasn't even eaten the cheeseburger. Grrr. He shares that same fear and me as well. I can't stand having water on my face. He'll go under, but then when he comes up he needs to dry his face off.

I was going to try paint or crayons with Luci June because I saw some cute pictures, but everything goes in the mouth still so no luck there.

[sarahlynn]

iwas at the fair this last weekend and saw the cutests harnesses..they looked like a bear backpack and the handle thingsy was furry to is was really cute.i saw 3 of them on kids..i used one with cy at the airport when he was little..

lucea at the sidewalk chalk as well..btu she is getting better..this morning she had a sorry game piece and i saw her with it and i said "LUCEA NO" ans as fast as she could she shoved it into her mouth..i had to fish it out.. :roll: why do they eat things like that..it makes no sense they dont taste good..

I'm sorry I had to laugh at your last statement because I totally saw it happening. Luci June has been walking around with lincoln logs in her mouth this morning. Now those cannot taste good!!

[sarahlynn]

exactly maybe its a Luci, lucy, lucea thing..

i could see it in her eyes and right when i said NO she crammed it in ther all that was sticking out was the little green end of the peg..but dirt, rocks, anything you name it she eats it..BLAH weird kids..cy never did that..

so what are everyones big weekend plans

[katie]

I was going to try paint or crayons with Luci June because I saw some cute pictures, but everything goes in the mouth still so no luck there.

We tried both of those here too... nope no go with either she tried to eat the crayons and her fingers after she got the paint on them. :roll:

We're moving this weekend... oh joy. I hate packing and we are going to be living with my inlaws for 6ish months while our house gets built. We could stay here for longer since our house hasn't sold yet but DH's work is getting on his nerves so he's ready to go transfer to the new location instead of deal with his two-faced managers that keep putting him in a bad situation. Now I just have to pack pack pack thank goodness my parents are coming to help or I'd be going crazy.

[tralynne75]

Hey All, It has been a while since I have posted in here. I only read a few pages back so I am sure i missed plenty.

Pam, I love the Mothers day pic. You have lost weight haven't you?

[haydensmom]

Hey Trac!! We missed you around here!

I'm going to take pics of our "house" today - or what's built of it so far. Maybe I'll take a pic of the model as well so you can see what it will look like. I'm so excited!

[BBKCD]

Claudia, I received the announcement...beautiful :D

I can't believe this thread is a year old!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE NONSENSE THREAD!!!!!

[without]

Claudia,

We were going to do a photo shoot last night but after her swimming in her new pool for about two hours she looked way to tired to play dress up. Then about 8:30 she started vomiting! :shock: It came out of no where! I don't know what was wrong with her she was fine this AM but man it was a rough hour or so while she was sick. Thank goodness it didn't last long.

[tralynne75]

I got my announcement also Claudia. Chirstopher is so cute. He is on my frig for all to see.

Pam, Morgan is so cute in her pool. Sorry she felt bad last night.

And I love the happy birthday to the thread. :lol: Happy bday to our neverending thread.

Jess I can't wait to see the pics.

[DIVADLX]

Hi girls! I'm just gonna jump back in!

Haha! Yesterday my DH was SUCH a PMS Princess too!!! I get a phone call from my friend in Alaska, we're both on cells, she talks REALLY REALLY fast, I have a hard time understanding her... so I am sitting in the car after we parked and DH goes into the house with Stella. I think, aw. Thanks hon for giving me this time to talk to my friend in peace and quiet.

He comes back and forth and starts emptying the car. I hadn't expected him to do this, so everytime he comes for another load, I make eye contact to make sure he's ok. He smiles every time. I finish my phone call and go inside, happy as a clam, and he's mad at me! He feels that I should have guessed that he could use some help and interupted my phone call to help uload the car. I was SO angry because he totally set me up - there was no reason the car needed to be unloaded right then, he was just looking for something to get mad about.

Men. Sheesh.

The pic of Miss M and her pool made me remember pools with slides! I am so stoked now - forget the $4.99 pool I was gonna get - I'm going for the kind with the little slide!

[HollyJo]

So, I'm a nonsense thread drop-out :oops: , but I do read and try to catch up about once a week or so. ;)

Just wanted to say thanks for the announcement Claudia!! Chris is such a darling! It was an awesome surprise to get his announcement in the mail this week. Thank you! :D

[newmami]

Oi Pam, sorry Morgan got sick. I hope she feels better soon!!

Glad you ladies are receiving the announcements... I had fun putting them together

What is it with men getting PMS??????????????????
And speaking of that, AF is back :? :roll:

[newmami]

Aaaahh!! I AM the thread killer...........

So I go back to work next week....... BUMMER :cry:
But Dh and I talked about our financial future, and we will plan to make sure I can stop working once Dani is in KG, maybe get a partime or something, but he knows I want to be home for the kids..... YAY!!!!

[YellowRose]

Aw! I'm sorry you have to go back to work, Claudia! I really hope you're able to make it work in a few years so that you can stay home!


Yesterday while Caleb was in the nursery at church, one of the little girls bit him in the face HARD. He has a huge bite mark on his cheek, it looks awful. I felt so bad for my little guy. But, he seemed to take it pretty well. I don't know what exactly happened, other than they were playing and the little girl just bit him. Dh was pretty upset, but really what can you do?

Soooo... how was everyone's Father's day?

[without]

I love the siggy pic of Caiden! :wink:

Claudia YUCK-Ah-MUCK on going back to work! Sorry!

Aly, I felt the same way your husband feels until..... one day I picked Morgan up from day care and she had bit a little boys finger! :shock: Being the good mom I am I said....What was his finger doing in her mouth any way! :oops: Then I thought about it later and thought I must have sounded like the mom who her baby can do no wrong! :roll: Kids bite so fast! Its hard to keep them from doing it. Morgan only did it that once glad it didn't become an all the time thing. I wanted to hide every time I saw Jackson's mom for weeks! :oops:

[sarahlynn]

OUCH poor baby..cy was bit a few times at a daycare we used to go to..the little girl who did it was just nasty..she got time outs all the time for being naughty..darn little biting kids.. :lol: thankfully thats something mine have never done..i hope his face it better soon.

yeah men and PMS SUCKS they are sooo much worse than woman are..well last week DH didnt take his shot cause he forgot to call and have them sent out to us..so he missed a week..welli gave him the shot on sat and crap did we have a horrible night, he was up al night with flu like symptoms and than sunday he slept all day..i mean literally he got up to eat and that was it his body was so worn out..i cleaned the WHOLE house did lots of throwin away and spring cleaning..felt good but by the end of sunday i felt liek all i did all day was chase after kids and clean.not a good way to spend sunday..oh well..its monday back at work and tired of work already..YUCK :x

[tralynne75]

This was on page 2 again!

All day today my head is killing me, i am starving but am queasy. I hate this part of pregnancy. I was hoping my last round would be easy so I could just enjoy it.
Oh I have to tell you this. A friend of DH's, came by today. I hate when his friends come by when he is not here. Anyway he heard I was preggy. He had to give him his 2 cent, how we live in a 2 bedroom, I don't work, Dh has a bs job and how we can't afford another baby. He told me I need to 'take care of it'. I was outraged. I told him I do not kill babies. If I had a baby every year for the next 10 years killing a child would not be an option. He said I have made Drew a laughing stock of Pilot (we live in a very small town and they all know I am pregnant). I said why because I love him and want to have his babies??? GGGRRRR he said they all think if I keep poping out kids then his family will support us (they're wealthy) and people are calling him a fool for allowing me to get pregnant again. I hate this town. Everyone is always in our business and they always run back and tell DH's family.
On another note my son wants to move in with my parents. :shock: They live an hour away, we use to live there, and he wants to go back to school there with them next year. :cry: He said if it will hurt my feelings then he will stay but he thinks things will be better for me if he does. He said to turn his room into the babies room and he can sleep onthe couch. I told him no way. I would never change his room, it would always be his and we have plenty of room. I told him I don't want him to leave but if thats what he wants then I will support him. What do I do????

[haydensmom]

Your son sounds like a very selfless person! What an incredible offer - to give up his room and sleep on the couch for the baby. I bet you were so proud. But I'm sure you don't want him to leave. :(

Sounds like your town royally sucks! :evil: Seriously, why is it any of their business? That makes me mad.

I posted a few pics of the house in the pic section. :D It's not much, but I'm excited.

I hope you kicked this guy out!!! :evil: Un-freaking-believable!!!! I can't believe he has his nose in it, and is telling you you should take care of it? What an *ss!!!!

[without]

I am outraged that ANY ONE would have the nerve to say that! I would have put my prego foot right up his a$$ as I was kicking him out of my home.


And did I miss some thing? How many kids do you have? Not that it matters but...I didn't think you had a bunch of kids. I grew up in a house with 4 kids and I always wanted my mom to have 1 or 2 more kids! I still do :oops: but she says 45 to old to be having babies! :lol: Ugh! I am so mad over this that I want to kick his butt! I hope your DH gave the guy a chunck of his mind!

[Bells614]

Um, it's your life, not theirs. Period.

I'm sorry he was such an arse. Some people :roll:

We went to an outdoor wedding on Saturday...it was very nicely done, just HOT! 2:30 in the afternoon in mid June is stinky weather....no breeze and 90+. But, it was short! Poor Manda, she was so red!

How is everyone!?!

Jess, the pics of Hayden and Daddy are so cute!

[newmami]

OMG Tracy!! I cannot believe your DH's friend!!! WHF???who does he think he is talking to you like that and suggesting you to get rid of the baby??? what did DH said?? OMG I am so upset!!! :evil:

But WOW with Dylan!! he is a wonderful kid Tracy, you should be very proud of him. Is the school close to your parents better than the one he is now?? ... I am still amazed how selfless he is!!!

Nothing new on my side... need to contact the Attorney for the bankruptcy thing......

[sarahlynn]

OMG i cannot believe your DH friend was such a jerk..i would have been livid and given him a good swift kick to the arse..

[sarahlynn]

ok why am i even bothered by this.

Last night i talked to DH about 10:00pm..lucea was in bed, cy and his friend were crashed on the couch watching movies and coloring..DH was at work. he said i am gonna go get finished up and get out of here. So i went to bed and read for a few mintues and fell asleep.

at 2:30 in the morn i woke up and looked out our bedroom window..hmm no DH's truck..i went downstairs to see if he was there, nope, hmm..

so i call his cell phone..he picks up right away and says he is at a friends house playing x-box/halo..

i loath x-box.

now its weird cause i am not mad at him, hecould be at a bar spending lots of money or doing much worse things than playing x-box..but i'm just kinda sad inside for some reason..he doesnt go out much but i just am bothered for some odd reason..i mean 2:30 in the morn, maybe thats what bugs me it was 2:30 not midnight or 11:00 but 2:30 in the morn..not sure..hmm and the fact that now he will sleep all day and not do a darn thing..not sure..sorry needed to vent. :?

maybe its hormones and i am all PMSy not sure.. :roll:

[Momto3]

It would bother me too Sarah. You are not alone.

Tracy your son is truly an amazing young man to be so selfless in today's day and age. So often you hear of teens only thinking of themselves and boo hoo what they will need to give up.

Sarah,
I felt the same way about the playstation 2! I mean I liked to play it but maybe spent 3 hours a week on the thing (this was before Morgan) but not the men in my life they spent maybe 3 hours a week off the thing! :roll: Seems so silly to me!

[sarahlynn]

it does seem silly..its a game and they get so into it and they play the stupid thing online with all these people...hmmm

now he called and i told him we need to return my BIL saw to him we have had it for 2 weeks..i say cant we just cut all the trim and nail it later..he says it doesnt work that way. i say ok..he says you want to know why . i say nope . he starts to explain why i stop listening..he gets pissy and hangs up the phone. :roll: what a great way to start the week..ugh..i think i need a girlfriend :lol: they would be much less emotinal and maintance than DH is.

[without]

ugh..i think i need a girlfriend they would be much less emotinal and maintance than DH is.

You don't know how many times I have thought this!

Or I need a house wife! :lol:

[sarahlynn]

could someone please make me stop eating these peanut mm's

[CandiceLeigh]

Sarah, I think we are married to the same man. :? DH always wants to be playing XBOX. This weekend his brother got a new game :? guess where he was hours at a time? He has also done the stay out late playing games with his brothers thing. Yeah, it could be worse (bars, girls :shock: ) but it's still inconsiderate IMO. I mean, if I stayed out all night and he had to stay home with Chris, would that be cool? No! Guys just don't think and when I asked DH one time what he thought about me doing that he said to go for it! :roll: No you idiot, I like spending time at home with my family, not playing games all day. Plus, I know if I actually did that, he would flip out.

[AprilMommy]

I am just popping in .. I have not caught up with this post in a long time! Sorry, I have just been so busy! :oops: I can agree with you though ladies because my dh is the same way about that stupid XBOX.. I that that thing!! He has gotten better with it in the past few months but if he gets a new game then the addiction starts all over again!! :roll: :x

Now he is on to a new hobby that he is addicted too and that is dirt biking.. so he is going all day Saturday. I mean sometimes I get irritated because doesn't he want to be with his family?! Oh well... men are such morons sometimes! Then my dh wonders why Trenton is so attatched to him Mommy!

[sarahlynn]

OMG Candice i feel the same way ..its just inconsiderate..

yeah dh was out till 2:30 the other morn and not 1:30 last night..

i need someone to love me to like the x box :(

[AngelP'smom]

HI Sarah,
I am sorry your DH is having an affair with the xbox. Also, I want to say that Lucea is looking outstanding.

Carry on.

[tralynne75]

Thank you all for the comments about my son. I think he is great but he is mine. No the school near me is better. Since we are in a small town we have less drugs, etc. The school he wants to go to is in the heart of a big city. And I know everyone at this school verus not knowing any of the teachers at the other one.
Pam, I have a 14 year old Dylan and then Katie, thats it.

I never told DH what he said. When I called him at work he was busy so I let it go. I did tell another friend and he went off, funny thing is this other friend is against gettting married and having kids but he loves my kids. He comes by every Friday night (a 45 min ride from his house) just to see Katie. MC (the other friend) said if he sees that guy when he is here he is going to punch him. LOL!!!

Sarah I would be mad at my DH. We got rid of our playstation and xbox, we did it to buy the WII and once he got it he was 'out of the mood' to play so we sold that also. I am so glad but now I compete with the pc,of course if I unhook a few cords then he has no clue how to fix it. :twisted:

[haydensmom]

Wow I'm so glad my dh isn't into games!!! PHEW! He's a total family man.

Girls, I am going nuts... AF is late.

[hanvan]

test test test!!!

[haydensmom]

test test test!!!

I'm trying to hold out... with Hayden I got a bfp at 5 weeks and it was pretty light then.

[without]

Pam, I have a 14 year old Dylan and then Katie, thats it.

Ugh! thats not even close to being a lot of kids! After reading your email I called my mom and told her that I wanted her to have another baby (some thing I tell her all the time). She said well... I have news for you. My heart jumped! Then she let me down. She said Your uncle (her brother) is going to be having another baby. He is almost 50. His wife just had a baby about 5 months ago. I am trying hard to be happy for them but to tell you the truth I am a little Jel. :oops: For some reason I can be happy when I find out you girls are prego but when its a family member I get up set and think... Why can't it be me? :roll: Then I think OH, yea because you have to have sex to get a baby! :lol:

Jess,

I can't wait I hope this is your BFP!!!!

[sarahlynn]

sex? whats sex?

[haydensmom]

Well bfn - af showed up today. :( I'm starting to think I am not going to get pg while breastfeeding. Who knows. It's hard because I got pregnant right off of bc with Hayden. I honestly thought it would happen like that again. So now that it hasn't, I'm a little worried. :roll: :cry:

[hanvan]

(((hugs))) I think its just takes time. You were lucky that it happened so fast the first time. It did with us too and I just know the second won't come as easy. It will happen though...just keep trying :wink:

[without]

Just keep one trying I am sure you DH won't mind all the trying! :lol: It will happen.


Sarah, Don't ask me what sex is because I have only seen it twice since the birth of Mss. M and she is 17 months old! :shock: Oh, well guess sex isn't ever thing (or so I keep telling myself! :roll: )

[sarahlynn]

its only 3:30..i really wanna go home..

[without]

Thats OK its 8:41 and I already want to go home! Good news is I only work until noon today! Yeah!! Then its off to buy kitty litter! :roll:

[sarahlynn]

SO WHAT! :shock: ummm so what..NO BABIES NA AH! if i got pregnant when my sister is struggeling to TTC I would absolutely never forgive myself..ever..she gets to go next darn it.. :lol:

[without]

:lol: Sarah that so sweet of you!

I know I feel like every one around me is getting married and having babies! I want to be happy for them I really do but... I just keep thinking Why not me?

[YellowRose]

Dh is working today too. I was kinda upset... we were supposed to go to the zoo today. It's kind of a good thing though because it's rainy, cloudy and chilly. Defintely not a good day to go to the zoo!!! Hopefully we can go next weekend, I really want to take Caleb, he'd love it!

I can't believe that it's so chilly though... it's only 64 right now!! It feels nice though, I can't stand the HOT weather!!!

[without]

Sarha,
My mom got Morgan a small kids watering can to help me water the flowers. The other day she came into the living room and her watering can had water in it and she started to water the plants. She had dipped it out of the potty! :shock: Morgan is also into some thing at all times! :roll:

[newmami]

Hey Ladies... I am back in the office :(
It was bad leaving the kids on the daycare, Dani cried like a maniac, she was holding me for dear life, and I cried all the way back to the office.
I cleaned my email from 504 messages. and now I don't have anything to do... I wonder if I can stay home and get still get paid....

Aly, send me some cold weather, the heat & humidity here are INSANE!!!! it is around 80 early in the morning

So I am anxious to see what happens now that I am working again, DH got used to doing NOTHING at home.... yeah, I was a married Single Mom for 10 weeks.... he said he would help with dinner & dishes... we will see... at least he is not having an affair with the xbox... wait!! his affair is with the computer :roll:

Anyways, sucks being here......... I WANT TO BE A SAHM!!!! :hissy:

[sarahlynn]

I am not sure if i want to be a SAHM well not full tiem at least :lol: when me and DH get all our crap paid off i am gonna see about working part time..if i can get an early job and be done by 2:00 we wouldnt have to deal wiht daycare bills..that would save us close to $500 a month.

[YellowRose]

Sorry you're back at work, Claudia! I hope the day goes super fast for you!!!!

I'd send you some cold weather.... but it's already gone. It's supposed to be near 90 today and tomorrow! That is just TOO hot for me! Luckily, it's going to cool back down by the end of the week.

Caleb is STILL sleeping! He was up late last night, so he defintely needs the sleep, I just can't believe he's still asleep. He rarely sleeps in past 8:00.

[BBKCD]

Sarha,
My mom got Morgan a small kids watering can to help me water the flowers. The other day she came into the living room and her watering can had water in it and she started to water the plants. She had dipped it out of the potty! :shock: Morgan is also into some thing at all times! :roll:

That's funny Pam :D

[without]

Claudia,
Sorry about you having to go back to work. Just remember the 1st days the worst. Dani will get used to having all her friends to play with again and loving it at day care.

Aly,
I wish Mss. M would sleep past 5! :roll: No matter how late I put her down she gets up at 5. :shock:

[sarahlynn]

YAY me and DH are planning a family trip fo rthe end of August..my brihtday is in august and our anniversary is the end of July so it will be kind of a family vacation/anniversary/birthday present :lol:

the only thing is..DH invited his friend, friends wife and theri kids along..well i get along great with his friends wife i have never met, but she is the sister to one of DH's ex's :shock: why am i nervous abotu this..i keep thinking it will be so awkward..especially since we have never met ya know..

oh welli keep telling myself i will be busy with the kids..and DH better not just ditch me with her the whole weekend cause its a FAMILY vaca..ya know..

so we are gonna take the kids to Minneapolis, mall of america, underwater world, the zoo, valley fair..YAY it should be so fun..except the 5 hour drive :lol:

[newmami]

Pam, I am sorry Morgan would not sleep in... Dani always wakes up around 7 am, if I am lucky, it is 8... but she is still taking2 hr naps, so I did the same when I was on Maternity Leave

So, I come back after 2 months out and I have NOTHING to do... GRRR!!!! at least I have heard enough "it is good to have you back"....
As for the other position, the Account Manager I would be working with is in NC this week, and apparently he would get the final approval for me to work with him (apparently they needed to approve my salary), but this is all rumors, so I don't know what is going on.... in the meantime, I am trying to keep myself busy here!!!
The daycare lady called, and said that Dani is OK, playing and having fun.

[sarahlynn]

good to hear all is going well at daycare.!

it sucks being bored at work..i have days like that..luckily i have school work that usualy keeps me busy...only 2 more montsh to go..EEEK than i am gonna look at a different job..i am excited to chagne but dont want a cut in pay

[without]

Claudia love the new siggy!!! Dani and that hair!!! To cute! And look at those cheeks on Chris! I just want to kiss them!

[sarahlynn]

those pics are adorable..

lucea totally has hair envi..she woudl like danis ponytail :lol:

[without]

Morgans hair is always in her face! :roll: I am trying to let it grow out but its driving me batty! I try not to pull it backin a pony tail on week days because the bands break her hair if worn to much like that! Ugh! Any ideas on how to pull back long hair on babies?

[chellebelle32]

My MIL used to be on a mission to get my Morgan to wear head bands. Morgan would take them out in seconds and break them. If she will leave things in her hair you might try head bands.

Pam, did you find a mosquito repellent? I tried that Bullfrog Mosquito Coast over the weekend. It worked for us. I was trimming trees and working in the flower beds. It was a little more expensive, but lasts for about 8 hours.

[newmami]

Danielle tends to remove the barrets or anything from her hair, so we just deal with it... today she is sporting a ponytail, she looks so adorable!!
I got some elastic bands covered with fabric at Walmart, they work nicely!!

I spoke too soon about daycare, Dani cried like a maniac this morning, and was holding to me for dear life :cry: then Chris saw her and started crying too.... MY HEART IS OFFICIALLY BROKEN TODAY

So yesterday I ended up making dinner, bathing both kids and doing dishes, and then I woke up at 4 to feed Chris, and got both kids ready for daycare... so much for DH helping.... :roll: But Dani helps me to bathe Chris (so adorable!!! she helps rinsing him)

I was thinking yesterday, DH said his purpose in life is to make me happy... well can't he see how unhappy I am having to work??? shouldn't he be finding a way to keep me at home with the kids??? I am having a pity party this week..... this week DH is a selfish pig :?

[sarahlynn]

Awww girl i feel for ya..i just had this discussion with DH, why he doesnt work 3 jobs so i can be home part time :lol: he asked why i dont work more so he can stay home :roll: yeah he doesnt get it..but than he *****ed constantly about the cost of daycare so it just makes no sense..

i need a fun wedding pressent? any idea?

[newmami]

A fondue maker.... LOVE IT!!!

[sunshine]

Sorry DH isn't helping, Claudia. I know how hard it is to leave one at daycare...I can't even imagine leaving two. I'm sure as the days go on they will enjoy being there though...of course nothing replaces being home with Mommy...but it'll get better for all of you, I'm sure. Big hugs, hon.

[haydensmom]

Pam, you could try a lulu band for Little Miss M's hair... newlywedprincess makes them. Obviously I've never tried one but they are super cute!

Claudia, I'm sorry about the kids crying and you going to work - that must be so hard!

Hayden has on a wife-beater and mesh shorts today.... he looks so stinkin cute... my little athlete.. :lol:

[without]

We have the lulu bands (3) she wont leave them in. She wears her hair pulled back in barrets most the time. Its not cute but it keeps it out of her face.

Thanks for the tip about Bullfrog Mosquito Coast we will have to look for it.

Claudia,
Sorry about having to leave the babies while you work. I know they miss you as much as you miss them but think of all the fun they get to have with other kids. They are learning to be social. I tell myself all kinds of bull like this to make me feel better about leaving Mss. M. :roll: I wish you could stay home too! Here is some money dust coming your way. :lol:
