Our neighbors offered to take C for the evening if we want to "bang the baby out." We declined because it seems like too much work. I would probably do it if I were you though. lol that is pretty forward ETA I’m trying to imagine saying this to my neighbor and I’m dying laughing They're also some of our closest friends. I probably should have mentioned that 😀.

I walked home from the salon and ran into someone I hadn't seen for a year. He didn't remember me at first and I started with "I'm so and so's mom." It wasn't until I got to the "wife of" part that he relaxed. I think he thought we were former hook ups and it was awkward because he was with his kid and I was not. I do love living in an area where I run into people I know.

Yay for Walter @juliagulia! Is he gone already? Yup. I dropped him off today. And then had to drive almost two hours home. I almost cried. A lot.

That perfect shade of blue or red doesn't come without some casualties. I hope they tasted great at least. They weren't even very good. Darn. I only do vanilla or chocolate and have a topper now that I know the hazard or choose one in pastel.

I’m currently begging my sister to come stay with me for a week or two next month in case I go into labor. There’s about a 99% chance that I’ll still be in Nebraska and DH will be in MN and I’m terrified of labor + 3 kids by myself.

My kids are all awake. Not to be too critical, but WTH to H? He does this 2x a month max and could have them bathed by the time I get home. They are super hyper too and I know he is going to fall asleep while I deal with this all night. At least my hair looks good for this effort.

She’s made an attempt to learn ASL but still doesn’t use it with my kids. She talked up her tattoo and the fact that my kids are HOH to two complete strangers this morning when we were at the farmers market together and I am still annoyed about it. She’s a rather showy individual, which even MH will acknowledge. He doesn’t have the best relationship with her. I would be livid and not on speaking terms. I know my own family history is influencing my assessment & if I'm out of line, I apologize. This seems just for show. I mean, if you are going to tattoo a sign, make an effort to use it with the kids. She's looking to get attention at the expense of the kids. Not cool. And this isn't even taking into account that it had special meaning between you & H. I'm upset for you.

Also, I’m having a baby next month. Wtf. ::hyperventilates:: OMG. This sister of yours drove to a baby shower and then back for the baby right? I hope she can come if not start lining up friends who can be with the kids and who can be with you. My last two weeks had a chart of who to call between which hours of who would be there because we knew the baby would be fast and were it sure he could make it. In the end teachers came and stayed with my kids and friends tagged in and it all worked out.

The birthday party we just left had cupcakes with super neon blue frosting that stained all of the children and everything they touched, including dogs and parents. Like, for real stained the shit out of everyone. We escaped unscathed but there are lots of blue hands, faces, and hair in my town tonight. I replicated a black xbox one year. I made sure the boys were super careful when eating. Food coloring stains are the worst and I didn't want every kid to go home with a trashed shirt.

I just don’t know how long she can take off of work. DH has two weeks vacation that he can take but we’re in that awful place where we have to decide if he should take it early and risk baby being overdue.

It'll put your mind at ease.

I feel like I tend to err on the side of minimal reaction bc I don’t like attention/drama but after this morning I genuinely felt like she was parading around my kids’ ‘disability’ (even though I hate that word) and I’m hurt by it. I have purposely created distance between our family and her for many reasons over the last couple of years.

I would just go sit at a bar somewhere until they're all asleep. I made the mistake of coming home. My hair appt could have "gone longer" but they did not have a calm bedtime routine so it could have gone on for hours. I have bathed them and put them in their rooms and am hoping they pass out soon. Next time my hair goes until 9.

I’m not rushing home to a mess. No way.

You would be amazed at how many capable adults will take your kids for a shift. My kid's 1st grade teacher took a cab to my home from a bar to help and another friend relieved her in the morning so she could go to work. Having the list made it so much less stressful and I knew I would have someone I trusted with me and with the kids no matter what.

I just found out my anniversary is Father's Day. I don't have to cook or watch the kids now and our nanny doesn't have a relationship with her dad so it's a good chance she is free.

I survived the dinner. I’m so mad at MIL. I’m going to sleep on the decision to say something. I just hate that she puts me in these positions.

I have been known to check DD’s camera to ensure she’s asleep before coming home around bedtime. I’m the worst.

I'm absolutely not mapping which of my family members can get to bunnyfungo fastest in case of emergency. Definitely not.

I have purposely created distance between our family and her for many reasons over the last couple of years. This is what I was getting at, but didn't know how to say it. I didn't feel right using disability, but it is something difficult your family has had to work through. It's not a 3rd grade art picture to show off. I honestly don't know what advice to give to make it better b/c I cut out my own mom (&family) once I realized it wasn't behaviors or faults I didn't like, it was who she was at her core. You have to keep your eyes open to how she acts in the future. If her behavior is a detriment to your kids, you're well within your right to keep your distance.
