We are on day 3 of being a completely diaper free household after finishing the box of pull-ups and IT IS AWESOME. I plan to gleefully skip by the aisle the next time I go to Target.
I recruited my mom to help with the Little Free Library idea and she's already got people promising to donate building materials. Now I just need to 1) get them and 2) figure out how to build something.
The community meeting I organized last year became a monthly thing (luckily my neighbor Farmer Dave took over as organizer) and I just spent 90 minutes at one. I am exhausted, but excited. We're talking about starting a community garden. And next month we're going to b!tch out the parks and recs people. Whee!
Re: Randoms.
I can not wait to be in a diaper-free household. I think I will fall on my knees in happiness.
I want to make a free library.
You should now roll the money that you would spend on diapers into a c_joy vacation fund. You will be sitting on a beach in no time.
Seriously.
I want to come live in your neighborhood.
Skinsuit.
The kid was being difficult after her bath so h told her if she didn't quit what she was doing, there would be no bedtime books and no toothbrushing. I didn't say anything and she indeed did not have books or brush her teeth since she didn't listen after the threat, but when I came out of her room after putting her down, we had a damn funny conversation about how taking away reading and basic hygiene are not viable punishment options.
My kid loves to brush her teeth! It's how I keep her in the bathroom when I'm getting ready etc.
My random is negative (that's not surprising, lol). I am fed up with H. We saw a nice home, but he doesn't want to commit. There's more, I just...I want out!!!! lol.
Also, I think I cleaned up about 8 messes today. Toddlers. Can't live with them, oh wait, have to live with them, lol. My life.
D split his lip open earlier--hope it heals well.
We're building raised beds in our backyard this weekend. I'm excited! And hoping I don't totally burn out and let it get overrun with weeds within a week.
The only downside is Farmer Dave next door. He's going to be all up in my biz, I just know it.
You seriously need to choke a b!tch.
Yeah, it was very effective punishment! There was much wailing and crying with a lot of susue inspired "sorry, but only little girls who stand safely in the tub get to brush teeth".
I'm buzzed and my house is so clean. Yet, I feel so empty inside.
*gazes at the sky*
adam's little gf at school showed him her wee wee at school today! yesterday was her butt!
wheeee! can't wait to talk to miss ashley tomorrow
Were you raised to be polite or is it a nature/nurture combo? Because, I just can't stay quiet when I'm unhappy. That's not criticism as much as care for your situation. And frustration from afar. You're cool, be happy.
At least he kept his nose out of it???
My temporary solution is to have another beer, lol.
This patience is a quality I feel makes AB a stellar mom, and probably a great friend but your H needs his nads kicked.
Won't you be my neighbor?
I don't know how polite I am.
I tell DH I'm frustrated, he just doesn't care.
I need to go back to school and get out of this situation.
Sometimes things are good/okay, but it's brief and then it just sucks again. Because H is so checked out and so selfish.
I'm okay. You know I'd tell you guys.
I wore Freddie around the grocery store today, and it was awesome. He slept the whole time and he was all adorable and people couldn't help but stare at his adorableness. Or maybe it was Edith saying "This is my bruvver! His name is Fweddie!" to like EVERY person we passed.
Edith made me bend over in the frozen food aisle so she could kiss him. I love her.
I left the baby car seat and the diaper bag in H's car last night, and he had to come home at lunch to return them so I could drive Edith to school. I am such a flibbertigibbet.
When H got home from work, we were all taking a nap.
Edith's school was incubating 9 eggs, and only one of them hatched, so there are 6 baby chicks on loan from the farm. I want a baby chick.
Ha, that,s what I was gonna say. In case you missed it angela, Anna's daycare teacher was helping the kids put their mattresses down for the nap, and then turned around to find Anna laying down on her stomach, pants down, with a little boy with his nose up her bum.
She said it was his idea, and that it tickled. omg.
no
Empty can be nice. Gives you a spot to fill with something good. I'd put a smiley here, but none are adequately dreamy.
What the f*ck is going on with that poor child at home?
I want to do a little free library, but we don't have kids and I don't think our neighbors read much. I'd either be a creeper luring kids to my house, or just storing my own books outside in a box....
I won my unemployment appeal today and I am over the moon! It's just the good thing I needed to happen.
I'm going to get my hair highlighted this weekend. I have an unintentional ombr? going on...
