Does anyone want a husband?
Sure. If you take a certain toddler who has been up for an hour and already on my last nerve.
So far, he's poured a bunch of cold water into his Cream of Wheat after being told not to, deliberately poured said Cream of Wheat on the couch, and pulled the cookie sheet from last night off the stove dumping crumbs all over the floor. I will have to have yet another chat with my husband because how hard is it to ball up the foil and throw it away?! We put foil on our cookie sheets for easy clean up but apparently it's much too hard to throw the blasted foil away when he's done with it. Yep, I'm not happy right now.
Sigh, I wished you lived closer. I HAVE a toddler right now! She's adorable but yesterday was a day like yours. Today is good though. I ran to the store really quickly to get three things and I think I said no you can't have that about two hundred times. We escaped with only a bag of goldfish. I already have two in my pantry. And I'm having the DH issue.
That day sounds familiar! Does she also repeat the word 'no' to you?

Nah. But we've gotten to spend some time with her and her mom. Her mom doesn't discipline her. I mean she tells her no but then when she continues on her mom is like oh well, she doesn't listen... When she's with us and we say no she'll start whining and then we just say firmly STOP. She does. We're just not at the age to put up with nonsense.

And now my DH is STILL asleep at two pm. I have no doubt that he will sleep till four or five and then tonight claim he doesn't understand why he can't get to sleep.

Leave him a list of chores. Tell him he can keep his odd hours but he needs to be as productive as you are during the day.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

He got up at three and the first thing he asked me was if I was angry at him. I told him yes. Then he asked if it was something I'd get unmad at him about. I said not anytime in the near future.

My dog has been feeling off lately too, as his BFF is. I think he has rounded the corner though. No accidents today and he is quite peppy. Maybe there is a doggie flu going around.

Sooo, have to pack for my trip and pack the dog for the kennel and DD for her overnight tomorrow. EX FDH will not let her go to DC with me. Won't even address the question I've asked three times ( this is his w/e), but expects to have her next weekend for a family wedding, had her three weeks ago on my w/e for another family thing. I won't deny her family functions, that's how it should be. She would have gone to DC with me, spent the w/e in a fancy hotel, my sis was going to drive in and stay with us and take her out to see the sights while I was at my meetings. What a great time she would have had but yet exFdh refused to let her. My sis said to say no to his family's wedding. I won't do that, she should be able to that stuff and I won't sink to his level.

LOL Not mad at him anymore or you. I did, however, make my point. When Marilyn's mom came and got her I got up and went and checked the beans I had soaking in the kitchen. DH said, Oh good, you're making dinner. I said, No I'm checking the beans and now I'm going to take MY nap. He looked at me like I was insane and said, What am I supposed to eat for dinner? I'm laughing hysterically at this point because I was going to warm up leftovers and told him so and told him I guess he could handle it now. He said, you want me to eat dinner on my own? Um yes. Then I went and laid down awhile. I really don't recognize who this man is. He usually doesn't act like this. He's actually quite capable.

NJN,

Hopefully he'll snap out of this sooner rather than later.

He'll be fine. He gets antsy when he's not working. Understandable. But I try to tell him life goes on and we just have to live it day by day. But he's still antsy. And politics are making him more so. Oy. I've thought about grounding him from the tv! biggrin

I'd tell you about the hilarious fight we always have but you might think we're insane.

I never used a baby gate. Never thought about it.

Did have the hook and eye latches on the doors. At the very top.

But usually kept the door open anyway.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We use a baby gate on our front door. We don't have screen doors and if we want to get some air in when the weather is nice we leave the door open. However, they'll take off out the front door if they hear anything. We put the gate up to thwart that.

You want to know how my Thursday is going? Do you really? My dog has become a poo machine. At least he didn't poo in the house while I was at work. Took him out as soon as I got home 3.5 hours ago. He poo'd outside (yay) Just took him out again, he poo'd again. I picked it up with the poo bag and he promptly started pooing again, but it was STUCK! I was out of bags so grabbed a large leaf and pulled the poo out! OMFG who am I?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

The crazy old dog lady? Maybe you should take him to the vet. That sounds like a lot of pooping. But what do I know. Is there a normal amount of dog poop vs and abnormal amount?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

DH just came in and asked me if I have quit for the day. I told him yes. He said he'll be in the other room watching the news.

I won't sink to his level. It is all about her life, her schedule, her family. But I do have hand! He did this as a control over IKWTDS thing. He has been reminded countless times about how I parent in, that kids need to see family even if outside the parenting arrangement. His only mission is to get IKWTDS, he doesn't really care about her, he doesn't have to, he knows I will what is best for her.

However, a scathing email will be sent to him when I return. I am building all the documentation up as protection against him in court. Although he won't dare to bring me back given all the crap he has done. He knows what he has done and knows after 10 years, CS has to go up.

I truly want sole custody so this crap doesn't happen. He can keep the damn CS and just go away!

I haven't been around much the past 2 weeks. My daughter's baby shower is this Saturday and I've been working hard! OMG it's going to be so cute! Theme is Fall. I've been collecting all sorts of pumpkins, gourds, corn... hay bales. I did the party favors which are burlap bags that I embellished with fall ribbons and tags. Going to fill with hershey bars, candy corn colored m&m's, caramel squares and little pumpkin shaped candy corn. I am having so much fun! I'm doing the table centerpieces... mums with mini pumpkins around and sprinkles of candy corn around that! Just got done loading up my trunk with boxes of fall! For your pleasure, I present... Fall!
