Roger has pushed his play table all the way up against the home entertainment center and it’s blocking the cable box so i have to crane my arm and turn my hand upside down to point the remote just so for it to change the channel, volume, or whatever
i’m way too lazy to get up and move his table so i just keep doing this rather inconvenient task instead

let me clarify
Roger has been taking independent steps for a few weeks now, 1-3 at a time depending on his balance. he always does better when he’s focused on something other than trying to walk - like when he sees something over there that he just has to have, he’ll just start walking toward it.
and that’s all that happened. it was completely mindless and know it was a fluke, but he had...

moms take note
while there are certain brands of puree i refuse to feed my baby i like what Beechnut has to offer and they have some flavor combos that Roger LOVES! (ham/pineapple/rice and squash/corn casserole are our house favorites)
anyway, you can get 2 free jars of food and one free box of cereal from them! all you need to do is fill out this form and they’ll mail you the coupons. it does take a...

i just spent an ungodly amount of time looking into local Preschools
i’m consequentially horrified at the amount of money they want to watch my child run around screaming for 3hrs/2days a week. ohgoodheavens.
also, who knew you could start them at 2?! meaning - we need to make a decision this year about what age we want to start him so we can get enrolled in time if that decision is age...

Wait.
kitcater:
Did you really just return my call to tell me you’d call me back in 10 minutes!?
this is something I HATE second only to people who answer the phone and hurriedly say “i can’t talk right now, i’ll call you back” and then hang up on your face. IF YOU CAN’T TALK RIGHT NOW DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE! i’m pretty sure that’s why we all have...

have you ever been really excited about an item you purchased on a deal/blowout site and then it shows up on your doorstep and they shipped you the wrong thing? as in the bag that the item came in had the right description but the item in the bag was something completely different?
ugh, i’m trying to be a big girl and not cry about it. i called and of course they’re out of stock on...

i'm a pinterester now, but
apparently i don’t actually know how to use it.
in my profile it gives me the option to turn off Facebook updating, i click OFF and then Save but next time i go into my profile it’s back on. what am i doing wrong?
it automatically made me follow anyone on my FB that has a Pinterest account. i went through and unfollowed a bunch of them but then sometimes they just appear on my list...

the terror is all mine
after mentioning the occurences to his Doctor i’ve finally realized that my baby has night terrors. they’re not every night, in fact they’re very infrequent (maybe 1-3x month) but it’s happened enough for me to take note.
i’ve read a good deal on it by now but, ugh, it’s still tough. it’s not every night and like the studies show it mostly happens when he...

we’ve been good about planning out each week’s meals so we can do one grocery shopping trip for the week instead of buying-to-need as husband is a fan of but gives me hives
this week it’s pretty much been mac n cheese w. hotdogs, grilled cheese, chef boyardee and cereal for dinner — this is what happens when i’m left to fend for myself
but i’ve been scouring...

i’ve been operating as a single mom while husband has been in Vegas all week and good lord is it tough. i mean it’s not all that different because husband leaves before we get up and comes home right before baby bedtime but still, i’m used to getting a break each day. even if it is just a little one.
sure i’ve had time to break out the much neglected Wii after the baby...
