Holiday Grinchiness {Lemondrop}

Dec 4th 2008 9:39AM Yup yup and yup. The plan was to decorate this weekend, take The Holiday Photo, and go get a tree. Funny how the baby has a rash all over his FACE (uh, no picture) and I'm sick too (uh, no decorating). In my mind I'm thinking "Well then let's forget it! December will almost be OVER by the time we can do all of that!" even though I know it's not true. But I'm tired. Stressed. Can't someone just do all of that for me? Sheesh.

And Merry Christmas! :-)

The joys of potty training {ParentDish}

Aug 1st 2008 3:05PM Oh no you di-int! SNAP :-)

Things I am no longer capable of doing now that I'm a parent {ParentDish}

Jun 13th 2008 6:16PM Holy geeze. TOTALLY.

I'll add:

--Turn off the Worrymeter. "Is he crying while I'm at work?" "He's sleeping longer than normal. Is he okay?" "Am I feeding him too much?" "He didn't poop today. What's wrong with him?" Etc, etc, etc.

--Talk to Bryan without mentioning the baby.

Sigh.

Tentacle baby strikes again {ParentDish}

May 9th 2008 10:05PM We have that blanket too and OMG I love it. It's a must for bed time. I'm actually going to buy a second one because when we have a pee leak or blow out that soaks through the blanket and can't use it? Holy crap. The rest of the night sucks. So having another on hand is something I need STAT.

I can't wait for our boy to find his monkey hands. Well, except without the hair pulling, etc. Of course.

Happy to be past the brand-new-baby stage {ParentDish}

Apr 11th 2008 3:01PM Oh praise the lord! Theo will be 6 weeks on Monday and I swear if he doesn't start to smile or SOMETHING I may lose my damn mind.

Well-meaning advice for strangers {ParentDish}

Mar 27th 2008 5:10PM I don't think it would have been a bad thing, but I understand why you didn't.

I personally wouldn't mind if someone helped me like that, or like the DVD suggestion mentioned above, since I would be inquiring anyway. But yeah, the sock/paci thing--no way. Mind yer own business!

Waiting for a smile {ParentDish}

Mar 23rd 2008 9:49PM Theo smiles all the time in his sleep and it's amazing. But I still can't wait until he's awake and smiles at me for a real REASON. He's three weeks old and I sure as hell better get a smile the DAY he turns six weeks. He owes me because yeah, I need a re-charge BAD.

Re-writing my morning {ParentDish}

Mar 21st 2008 8:51PM Holy crap that was just too funny. I especially liked the coffee breath/skull crossbones image. Because I'm sitting here two days into not brushing my teeth, and I fear that my rank breath will affect the baby's appetite.

Mawwage is what bwings us togevva (despite the quirks) {ParentDish}

Feb 27th 2008 1:32PM OMG OMG OMG. First of all, I love my husband dearly. But c'mon, he's not perfect.

--I'll be scooping the litterbox (pre-pregnancy)/putting away the dishes/folding clothes etc. and RIGHT AS I FINISH he'll look up from whatever he's doing and ask with complete sincerity, "Sweetie, do you need help with that?" No. I'm. Done. Now. Thanks.

--My husband is the smartest person I know. But when the garbage stinks up the kitchen or the recycling is piling up to be taken outside, or the laundry hamper is overflowing, he doesn't SEE these things. He'll come up to me and ask, "Is there anything that needs to be done around the house?" Are you freaking KIDDING me? Look around! Take it from there!

--(last one) When he KNOWS the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty, he'll still put a dirty dish in the empty sink. It drives me INSANE. Just put it in the dishwasher! What's the big deal?!?

/End rant

Shameful admission: I dislike foodface babies {ParentDish}

Feb 26th 2008 12:14PM Oh thankyou thankyou thankyou! I can't stand it either! People tell me that will change once this kid is born--that I'll find HIS messes adorable, blah blah blah but I doubt it. Spaghetti all over? Um, no thanks. Squash in his ears? Oh dear God in Heaven.

I'm like that with a booger-y nose too. I hope I don't turn this kid into a cleaning OCD freak like me!
