wineallthetime I forgot to tell you that a couple weeks ago I received a pbk flyer in the mail. On the same page they had A’s name & H’s name on backpacks or something.

tallb your pregnancy has flown by! How are you this far already!?! I have no idea! Def a 3rd time mom...my gf is due with her first in October and has the gift I sent washed and already in a diaper bag..meanwhile my diaper bag is shoved in the coat closet still filled with N's stuff🤦. I'm nesting today and just did FMLA form and the leave request from my masters, and signing kids up for the sibling hospital tour. That's exactly how I was with A! We were forced to pick a name at 31 weeks cause he was born (though we did have his named picked already, just not a girl name) but had nothing washed, no hospital bag, I hadn't checked if our carseat was expired. I labored in glasses that only had one stem because L had broken them and I hadn't gotten around to replacing them. I thought getting the baby stuff ready was so fun the first two times. Third? Nah. |

I’m so mad for you jewels. With him gone so much you’d think he would WANT to be home with his family as much as possible. Frustrating. |

I’m sorry jewels. You have every right to be pissed. You told us how much the kids miss YH when he is gone, so one would think he would make every effort to be there when he can. Hope he makes up for it tomorrow with the boys. |

I’m with everyone else tallb. Cannot believe you are third trimester already! YH is me every time we go to a hotel with a king bed... it takes much self control not to run to the nearest furniture store and order myself a king. Hope you find something you both like! |

Didn’t get to go to the library today. MH and M were at an outlet mall when I got off, so he was too far to pick up. I’m glad I didn’t get M because when I got home and tried to find a bill with the address on it, we don’t have any. I think I trashed the first bill I got and the rest are paperless. I have to remember to print one out tomorrow.

I agree with everyone, those long beds are amazing, sadly they won’t fit in my bedroom 😫.

jewels I would be livid too. Sure family is important, but not at cost of time with your own kids!

SweetPotato I’m at Little Matt’s in west U and Brian Cushing is sitting behind me. He has been very gracious and taken a pic with several people, including my SIL and her baby. His kid is playing on the iPads next to M. ETA he’s much better looking in person!

Also hi! We’re in the adirondacks! It is beautiful over here. We visited the wild centre today, near Tupper lake & the kids had a blast! You could walk a boardwalk trough the tree tops, there was a giant spiderweb made out of rope, a massive eagle’s nest, plus live otters, owls and turtles. It is still it the high 80 and no sign of the predicted thunderstorms whatsoever... Tomorrow we’re heading over towards the Ben and Jerry’s factory and onwards to Franconia NH.

When we moved from Boston the first thing we bought was a King bed. I could never go back now.

We have a queen and don't touch at all at night (unless we choose to, of course). I feel like it's so comfortable! When kids join in it obviously gets more cramped and I can see a need for a king though

For just the two of us a queen is more than fine, but the kids often join us (every morning at least) and the king in the hotel was glorious for that! |

For just the two of us a queen is more than fine, but the kids often join us (every morning at least) and the king in the hotel was glorious for that! Yeah it's the kids forcing us. J is really big and I will feel guilty kicking him out if he continues to periodically end up in our bed with all the changes coming up. And n will eventually do it too I'm sure once she is out of the crib... We are both over 6' too, so not like we are tiny people. Update, mh was a grouch and didn't really like my suggestions, nor does he have any suggestions. The Clara lattice bed in black at PB is the front runner since it's on sale, but I would prefer a footboard to keep blankets on the bed. |

Thanks for commiserating guys
He made it home just as we were getting home from Karate (around 6:45). I made the kids dinner and went upstairs to relax for a bit, leaving him with the kids.
We can talk till we're blue in the face but he just never sees it. His response was "how would I know there was going to be traffic". He doesn't even think that his decisions (like staying longer) are what caused this. I mean, we live in between 2 of the most trafficy cities in the US. Chances are always good for an issue!
Anyway, I appreciate you letting me vent here.
