night!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I'm watching Making the Band....apparently Danity Kane is X'd. I kinda liked their songs.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

goodnight everyone

 

[XTinabell]

I didn't go to my hs reunion....I was afraid it would turn into a "my horse is bigger than your horse" contest.

Mine is in 2011 and I believe I will be skipping it. I didn't care for the people then I dont' think not seeing them for 10 years will make me suddenly care. The people that I did have friendships with I still talk to, so I don't see a need to go and compete with people. Ya know what I mean? If I was friends with them all then it might be nice to see them again.

Today is TGIF!!!
There is no sun and I have no energy but I must drag my butt to the grocery store.

Good Morning Hyenas!

I'm taking the day off work today and am headed to DL with my little sister. She's on spring break this week. Hope you all have a good day! I'll try to post from the park later.

What is wrong with my BABY???? Seriously. He is damaged goods. The kid did not sleep ALL NIGHT last night, OR all freaking day today!! ACTUALLY.... he did sleep, as long as I was holding him! Just me. He hates everyone else. Such a butt monkey! Thank goodness Alex gave me that baby bjorn. I have had it on ALL DAY. And it has to be the big baby that wants to be held, right?? Not the little one? I think he has passed out from exhaustion. FINALLY. Thank goodness Jazz is a good sleeper.

DS was just like that...the baby from HE double toothpicks. Didn't sleep thru the night until he was 2. So I know where you're coming from. Hopefully he will figure it out soon.

thanks, I was going to make a snarky commnet about flying balls but withheld myself for fear of gaining points to my unblemished record .

I've been chastised, but so far no points.

Im so glad to be here!! I just hope I dont have to leave soon.. the babies are starting to fuss.. and I cant type and hold the tank. He is TO HEAVY!

IDEA!!! I should invent a baby holder that attaches to the PC....time to do some thinking and planning.

Not much.. Just enjoying a few moments of silence. Its heavenly! How are you doing??


I hate to say it.... But aI have given up on breastfeeding. I am still pumping a few times a day, and giving them that.. but It just bugged me how long it would take to bf! Isnt that awful of me? And I was always to scared to nurse at night. I was afraid I would fall asleep and smother the babies with my giant b00bs.

But I think it might be either a growth spurt... or the remnants of the Similac we gave them working through his system.. Similac NO GOOD!! Oddly.. the best formula I have found is Target brand. Its the cheapest too... thank goodness!!

Albertson's formula worked best for my DS. However, once his system was a little more mature, I would mix one scoop of the leftover Similac or Enfamil with the other 8-10 scoops I used to make a jug of formula. It's a good way to use up the free/reduced formula that you get the coupons for.

And don't feel bad about not breastfeeding. As a parent we all make the best decisions we can for our family. And believe it or not...the MOM is part of the family also. You staying up around the clock not getting any sleep isn't good for you or your family. Don't ever feel guilty about the decisions you make, just do the best you can with the resources you have and hold your head high!

I'm not suprised, my sis felt the same way about the whole routine of pump-bottle-nurse-pump-bottle-nurse

She had to mix formula with her milk to up the calories-- personally I thought she was nuts because it is a hard routine. .. and with two to feed.. oh boy!

hmm, I have been gathering samples of various brands.. should I give Similac to food shelf then? I have formula checks too... I think I already sealed the envie.. trade em away for the kind you need

Or use my suggestion above...1 scoop of Similac with 8-10 scoops of the other stuff. It works!

That's weird.


I had a windows update today.. it froze up my computer in the middle of the restart. I didn't know what was happening.. I was like why is it shutting down??! oh wait.. it's stuck oh crap!

Silly me, took awhile to figure it out.

Mine did the same thing! I came to work this morning and it had updated and was stuck in the middle of a "Computer Shutting Down" screen. Finally had to turn it completely off and restart it myself. STRANGE INDEED!

I didn't go to my hs reunion....I was afraid it would turn into a "my horse is bigger than your horse" contest.

my 10 is this year..I feel the same way... I have done nohing but get married and pop out babies. impressive, huh?


i hate the king

You guys should go. Trust me it's not nearly as judgemental as you think it's going to be. It's kind of nerve wracking the first hour or so, but then people have a couple of drinks, kind of let their guard down and become...well, just people. I always have a blast at reunions. At my 10 year reunion most of the people were on their 3rd kid and I had just had my first. I also learned that a good friend of mine during high school had named her daughter after me. How cool was that?! Said she always liked my name and spunky attitude and hoped her daughter would be like me. I finally met the daughter at our 15 year reunion, very nice young lady.

Our school always does a dinner/drinks reunion on Saturday night for couples and then has a picnic at a park on Sunday where everyone brings their kids and families.

I guess what I'm trying to say is GO!

creepy commercial.. but the BK guy is waaaaaaaaaaaay creepizoid! we sing along with the opening of Sponge Bob.. we say "square butt" instead of square pants.

I have a lump in my bed (undercovers), it just went meeeeerrrrrw??

I just don't know what to say about this entire quote.

See above...GO!!! You will be amazed by how much some people have drastically changed and others not at all. I have made friends with some of the people that I really didn't even know that much in school. All of the sudden the crowds that you hung out with in high school really don't matter. You'll hear some funny stories, get shocked because a few of the guys will be bald and realize that most of the people have turned out totally different than you would think.

Bad news is I missed a Hyena party last night.

Good news is I'm feeling much better now.

Oh and not because I missed the party. Because my tummy and head are finally feeling better. One of our local elementary schools shut down yesterday because so many kids were experiencing vomiting w/headaches. So I'm guessing I managed to catch whatever it was.

 

[staley7580]

Alison! Im so glad you feel better.

Sometimes I forget that I just need to do what works best for our family.. You know? I hear of other moms with more kids then I have breastfeeding, and taking care of all their other kids, and keeping their house clean and meals cooked... and I think... Why cant I do that? They are doing everything, and I cant hardly g to the bathroom during the day. What am I doing wrong?? Do you know that I havent even showered in 3 days??? I could do it now, but that would mean leaving Mikalah alone with the babies... and I am not doing that! But they have help.. older kids, a husband that doesnt work nights.. I dont know. ANYWAYS!

So I FINALLY got the babies to sleep by 11:30 last night!!! And they SLEPT!!!! Seriously. Until like 2 or 3. It was HEAVENLY. I was up at 7 this morning and actually managed to make breakfast!

Hang in there, it will get better. Glad they slept for you last night, that's always nice when you feel like you can sorta, kinda get caught up on your sleep.

You know, we do have a wind coming out of the north today...I thought I smelled something! See nature has a way of providing birth control when needed...don't shower for a few weeks and your DH won't even sleep in the same room. So I'm guessing you must not be one of those neurotic ladies like me that put her babies on a blanket on the bathroom floor while I was showering.

 

[funnygarcia]

I put Noah into a basinette and wheeled him into the bathroom.. the bedroom.. the living room.. safe from over eager big brother (not quite 3 years old at the time).

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Hey guys. Terrible evening. Dh lost his job. no severence, no warning. nothing.

 

[funnygarcia]

Does that make me neurotic, gee all this time I thought it was just now because I ha ve conversations with my cat on a daily basis.. I must have been neurotic all my lfe.

 

[funnygarcia]

Hey guys. Terrible evening. Dh lost his job. no severence, no warning. nothing.

I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Im so crazy... I dont even take a shower. I take baths with the babies in the bathroom with me. If I do shower, its only when Frelan is up to watch the babies.

I put Noah into a basinette and wheeled him into the bathroom.. the bedroom.. the living room.. safe from over eager big brother (not quite 3 years old at the time).

I WISH they would go in the bassinet. Now they are to big for it, but before that, they wouldnt go in it without screaming.

 

[funnygarcia]

That's just crummy. No reason?? what is with this company anway!!! grrrrr.

 

[staley7580]
