pet my hair.

I'm back at work. My boss told me I have "mom hair." I finished pumping a little while ago and only got 4 oz, while when I pump at home I get at least 8. I forgot my water bottle at home. I'm hungry and have no snacks. People are making jokes I don't understand. Life is hard.

Re: pet my hair.

  • I'm on your Monday couch with you. Teach me how to knit so I can make a blanket for us to snuggle
  • Wow.   Just wow.  Those kinds of jokes?

    What's mom hair?  The really silky luxurious stuff, or the thinning stuff that falls out in clumps.  It makes a difference. 

  • Aw, that's rough Noisy. Obviously your boss meant "adorable hair with cute bangs" when she said mom hair.

    I'll join ya'll on the Monday couch. I am tired and grumpy, and after this weekend gtg there are 87 new inside jokes that I mostly don't get. And  I was originally kind of enjoying the entertainment that was provided by people calling each other out today, but suddenly I'm feeling all "Don't fight let's all be friends show me your Halloween costumes HAIR PETTING"

  • I think she was trying to compliment my hair and followed up with "it looks easy to style," but she used the actual words "Mom Hair." Wow. Just wow. (AM I DOING THAT RIGHT?)

    Let's all knit and drink hot chocolate and spit at the pancake eaters.

    especially if they're dirtying up their pancakes with bananas.

  • i'll pet your mom hair, noisy: i don't even think 'wow. just wow.' is from this weekend, if that makes you feel any better- it was from some nest post that i've never read but just got used a lot this weekend.

  • I think I beat you with mom hair, given my head full of grays.  I'm sorry life is so hard.

    Miles was up last night from 12:50 to 3:45 am.  Yes, almost 3 hrs.  And, it's all my fault.  He probably would have just cried himself back to sleep, but I had to go in there and check on him.  As soon as he saw me, he became an inconsolable sobbing monster, and nothing could calm him down but sleeping on me.  As soon as I tried to put him back into his crib, he'd go ballistic. 

    Jason also reported that he was in rare form when he woke up in the morning.

  • Oh man, 3 hours Nov? That really blows. I'm sorry.

  • Hi Noisy.
    I love you and your hair.
  • Okay, I won't spit at Hezz and Ali. You have won me over with your hair petting.

  • Oh one more complaint. My hands are uncomfortable. I have big itchy hives on my hands. And yesterday while I was making waffles I burned the crap out of my pinkie and have a giant blister on the pad of it, which is making all the typing I'm doing now incredibly fun.

  • There there, Noisy. I feel you on the pumping output issue. I'm taking some more milk plus supplement that has fenugreek, which makes me burp and smell like maple syrup. And all it seems to be doing is making me feel more engorged. So come snuggle on my engorged bosom.

    Halloween night made for an awful bedtime last night. Maggie sobbed and sobbed and cried out a whole bunch through the night, and Owen was up and down all night long I think due to teething. It sucked.

  • Is mom hair like mom jeans? I don't think you have mom hair OR jeans. Now if we were talking Mom Uterus ... well, I think you'd have a great sexual harrassment case if he was looking at your uterus.

  • I took mom hair to be the headcovering equivalent of mom jeans, even though she probably didn't mean it that way. I'm not even wearing jeans! I am wearing pants though, so I don't think she got a look at my uterus.

    Kristen - we were expecting a meltdown at bedtime, especially since he's been kind of a pain when it comes to sleeping these days, but last night was the easiest night in awhile. Perhaps we should give him a Three Musketeers bar before bed every night. He liked it so much he found another one in his bucket and gave it to Evie so she could try it. "Evie, try the chocolate, it's GOOD." When we told him Evie was too young to eat it, he said, "So...maybe I can have it then?"

  • We have to keep a close eye on Mags when she has food these days. She wants to share her snacks with Owen and while that's thoughtful and all, I don't need the baby's mouth stuffed with Big Bird crackers.

    Awww...I want to fast forward three or so years so I can have another kid, and Ethan can be a big brother.

    I want your child.

  • I had my hair cut and coloured on Friday.   I saw my parents yesterday, but today my dad stared at me for a while and said "is your hair...darker?  I think it's too dark.  I like it lighter."  :::pause:::  "What colour is your hair, really?"

    So, if you're keeping track, he doesn't know what my natural hair colour is and my mom doesn't know my birth date.

    I'M NOT THEIR BABY!

  • Sorry Noisy.  I imagine the first day back after maternity leave is incredibly difficult.  Hang in there.
    image
  • Let's snuggle, Noisy. I will pet your pretty hair and not once will I say wow just wow.

    The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
  • Itchy, rashy twinsies!  Let's exchange a high five but call it a Hive Five.  Then I'll let you use my scratchin' post.  I bet you feel 80% better just reading this.

  • I keep reading wow just wow like it's from that Usher song. I haven't decided if it makes it more entertaining or just annoying. I'm leaning toward annoying now because, even though I got a booty like pow pow pow, the song's stuck in my head and I kind of hate it

    I bet we could make a lot of money making porn for hive fetishists.

    Semi-related, my friend just posted this on FB about her 3 year old:

    I just gave Jane part of a Hershey's with Almonds bar. She tried it, spit it out, gave it back to me, and said "only squirrels eat nuts."
