I just discovered the barrel mystery thread on the main board and I'm hooked. I'm halfway through. I hope there is a resolution by the end.

I have a hair appt on the 17th and I think it might be time for me to come to terms with the fact that my hair is no longer as blonde as it was pre pregnancy. Going every 8 weeks doesn't do much when I have a root giving me the middle finger on week 2.
H might die a little though. Maybe I'll get a light blonde wig to wear when he's home...

I was supposed to switch cars with MH this morning so he could take the kids outs to his parents' house today, but I completely blanked and took the wrong car. I think I'm losing my mind guys, I've been doing dumb shit like this for a while now. Earlier this week I missed the turn on my way to work and just kept driving straight. I never drive straight through that signal, so it's not even like I was on autopilot or anything. And I keep misreading order numbers at work and sending my customers the wrong paperwork. It's not a huge deal, they just email me and I send them the correct stuff, but I'm sure it's getting annoying for them and it's definitely embarrassing for me. Is this what happens after you turn 30? It's all downhill from here, isn't it?

jubilantsquirrel that's what happens after you have a baby. I'm comvinced having to worry about all things baby related just fries our memory. Like there isn't enough room to store everything lol.

Tomorrow we're going to the outlet mall in the morning. Mostly for MH, but I'll see if I can't find myself some things too. Then Sunday we're going to the fair! I can't wait to stuff my face with all the food. Monday is haircut day for DS1. Poor kid, he hates haircuts. I mostly looking forward to not getting up at 4:30am for the next 3 days.

jubilantsquirrel I'm in the same boat as you, I can't remember shit. I straight up forgot to ship training materials to a workshop last month, like besides people and materials there isn't much else you can screw up! I'm blaming kids and turning 30 too.

IME they think the whole world speaks their broken french and get super annoyed when it's not an option for them, and the 'Espanol' may drive her round the bend. Best. |

I don't want to brag, but I'm off work until the 18th!!  H is working today and tomorrow so it's just me and the kids today. I invited my parents over for brunch tomorrow and somehow my dad invited my sister and brother and their kids. Besides feeling like I need to clean my entire house today, it's okay because now they are brining a bunch of food and mimosas so it worked out. I scored a train table on a BST site, so DS is happily playing for now. L however is refusing to nap. |

Dear angry neighbour,
While I understand you are annoyed and angry dealing with the 'low piece of shit, good for nothing, cheap son of a bitch, scum of the earth asshole mother fucker', aka-the father of one of your three children, the entire golf course community does not care. Please take that shit inside or have a fucking snickers.
Signed,
Nosey lady on maternity leave, bored at home Mom, that is slowly becoming a busy body

I'm sitting in a conference room alone because the person who set up the meeting took off early and no one else showed up. *shruggy guy* I'm just going to sit here and play on Amazon and Etsy. |

Also +1 to losing my mind and doing stupid things.
Example..
The other day I came home from work and there was the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life hanging near the garage door. I saw it when I pulled in and immediately went into freak out mode. I didn't know what to do and was convinced it would kill me when I got out of my car and tried to get into my house. So during my freaking out, I locked my car doors. The next morning H needed to get something out of my car but it was locked so he had to come back and grab my keys. He asked why it was locked and I told him because of the spider. He yelled at me "LOCKING YOUR DOOR ISN'T GOING TO KEEP A SPIDER OUT OF YOUR CAR!!" I dunno.. it made sense in the moment.

Ugh, daycare just called to say 5 kids have lice. I feel really itchy right now. Anyone have advice? I just googled what to even look for. I'm going to cry if I have to deal with lice on top of clingy kids and being solo.

I'm going to cry if I have to deal with lice on top of clingy kids and being solo. Stalk N13's daily yesterday, a Mom just de-liced her house and there was a bunch of advice. I'm sorry, yuck! |

Oh no tjanca22 !!!! Ewww, admitting that I had lice as a child. There was a huge breakout going around our school and there's four of us sisters, all with long hair, all with sleepovers etc etc. I am SO FREAKED OUT by lice...almost as much as cock roaches. My only thought is to strip the whole house of linens and start those with the wash, disinfect room by room.. Quarantine L in something like an exercauser or playpen that is easiest to disinfect after, let L sit in the bathroom with his favorite toy while you hurry and disinfect. De-lice him and then all go for a walk while the linens are all being done. ORRRRR can you plan to do this tomorrow (or tonight) but easily have an escape to parents house after the de-licing of children so that you can go home and take care of yourself and remainder of linens? |

Well L doesn't have lice. I guess that's one positive to being a baldly. I'm fairly certain E doesn't have it either, thank god. I checked and couldn't find anything, nits or the actual bugs, but I did find a patch of dry skin on his scalp and after some furious scrubbing, he now has some awful looking dandruff which is totally throwing me off on my hunt for lice. Just put him down for a nap now so I'll be checking again when he wakes up and about 40 millions times after that.

M waffled between one and two naps for a few weeks and then for the last two weeks has been solidly taking one. Whatever. Except the past three days this single nap hasn't lasted longer than 45 minutes.
I. Need. A. Break.
She's talking and smiling at me so I feel like an asshole for saying that. But, shit, the energy requirement for this age is more than what I currently have right now.
