Having bad memory as a reader

Person: Have you read *insert book title*?

Me: Oh, yeah! I loved that book!

Person: Great! Do you remember *insert book scene*? That was epic.

Me: Whoa. Hold on. I said I loved the book, but I honestly don't remember a thing that happened in it.

If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, – quieter, warmer.

----- Long sappy post alert ----- Every once in a while I get kind of sad that I'm a stay at home mom. I know, right? What do I have to be sad about? I'm living the dream. I don't have to work and I get to stay home and watch my daughter grow. It's an opportunity a lot of people would kill for, and I understand that. But I deal with every diaper change, every teething second, every fussy nap that my daughter doesn't want to go down for. I lug her in and out of the car seat, (which only gets heavier as she grows, and I ain't gettin stronger). By the time Nicholas gets home I realize I haven't had time to clean or cook or do anything a SAHM "should" do. By the time he gets home I'm practically throwing her at him saying, "here. I have no more patience for this day." And to be honest I get lonely a lot. I I feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom. But then I watch her sleep. And I realize what an important job I have. I nurture this baby girl & I love on her all day long to hopefully build her into a sweet, strong, loving, and hopefully lot more patient than me woman. I will experience her first steps and her first word and I'll get to take her to dance classes and play dates and whatever she decides she wants to do. I wouldn't trade this life we live for the world. It's better than making money any day ;)

i don’t have a nervous system. i am a nervous system

[mommatobb]

Here's my baby girl, for those who have been wondering where I've been 😉 she's almost 2 1/2 months old & she's an angel 😊

I am so upset. So, we live with my husbands brother, so my BIL, who is married. We don't technically live with them because it's sort of like an apartment above the garage type of thing. So, we don't see them unless we want to. Anyway, we have a pool but it pretty much needs everything to be a pool again. (Liner, water, blah blah). So it's gonna cost about $5000 to fix it. Well last night, we were helping them clean around the pool Bc the pool guys were coming to drain the water out of the ground and as we were going inside, his wife says something like, "well, actually you guys probably have more money than us! And WE are buying YOU a pool." I didn't even say anything, just went inside. I honestly want to cry at that comment. I'm so freakin offended by it. Neither of have a job Lol. We worked so hard to save our money when I was pregnant Bc I wanted to stay home with Rayelyn. And we knew that this was my husbands last year of school. The whole reason that we are living with them in the first place is to make it easier on us until Nicholas started work. We do everything with NO HELP, not food stamps or government help, no complaints, we always pay our rent.. She also always is making comments about their utilities being high.. And that they are going to raise our rent, "haha, jk!" But it's not funny. Our rent is $450 a month INCLUDING utilities, and that was the deal. I'm just irate. And hurt, honestly. I'm 10 weeks PP, I don't have the patience or grace to deal with her right now.

When you wish your baby would wake up cuz your boobs hurt but you don't want to wake her because for the first time practically ever she fell asleep without being held and I can walk around without her...

What mothers think while breastfeeding in public

> please stop crying. > Omg I’m so nervous. > if you’d stop putting your hand in your mouth, my nipple could go in there. > no one’s staring… > yes they are – she’s screaming her head off. > should I try to use a blanket to cover? > ugh, I can’t see what I’m doing now! > ugh, why did you unlatch?!

What mothers do NOT think while breastfeeding in public.

> let me lure in all the unfaithful, sinful husbands with my leaking, milk-filled breasts 😈

Happy Valentine's from us!! We left raye with her nana for a couple hours. We just came back home and chilled but it was Nice to be baby free even for a few hours. I missed her so much though! She will be one month old tomorrow and I don't know how to feel about that. :( I'm so happy she's growing but I'm sad, too.

I have so much crap to do. I need to clean the house, do the dishes, fold last week’s laundry (oops) and do this weeks. I’m a terrible housekeeper, I know, but all I wanna do is sit here and hold Clara. Lol especially since she’s been sleeping in her bed at night… T____T

[mommatobb]

Lucky😭 Rayelyn still wants to snuggle in our bed all night. I don't know how to transition her lol!

I really need to stop going to the grocery store when I’m remotely hungry….

[mommatobb]

I went to the grocery store yesterday when I was upset and came home with $80 of junk food. 😂

[mommatobb]

Is it bad that I said all of these in my head like Harry Potter puppet pals? 😂

[mommatobb]

My husband melts my heart. He got Rayelyn a teddy bear for valentines and just brought it home for her. He also gave me his credit card taped inside a Valentine's Day greeting card and told me to go buy something for that night. (My moms keeping her that night for a couple hours). He's so sweet. And hot. And thoughtful.
