oh yah, and then there was that time i begged for the internet’s vote for my baby and then later perused through the competition and saw that some babies had over 3k votes!
i did the math, there was no way (even if all the people i contacted voted) that we could compete with that. so there it was and i knew we weren’t gonna win that.
but he’s still a winner in our house!!

what i've learned in motherhood
ask your Ped every question you can think of, there’s always a parent crazier than you
it’s a great reference for “what do i do next?” “how do i do that?”
i call mine with ridiculous stuff all the time and don’t feel the slightest bit of shame. we pay big bucks to Dr.s and i’ll be damned if i’m not gonna get my money’s worth

i’m an emotional crying mush in general so you can imagine the buckets of sentimental tears that rained down my face when my Pastor called to ask if my little family would do the honors of lighting the advent candle during Christmas sunday service.
yes. Yes! a million times YES!

Do any of y’all know where I can get the “Gobble, Gobble Bitches” t-shirt?
I feel like it’s at a place on College Ave, which is fine…but is it online too? I just don’t know.
My sister wants it. I mean, I already have the “Stick it in” shirt. Our mom is super proud.

question for the hippie* moms
are there any sites out there where you can get cloth diaper all in ones at a discount?
i’ve seen the same price on them wherever i look.
yah sure fuzzibunz is having a buy 6 get 2 free promo right now but have you seen the options for that 8th diaper? they’re hideous. sorry.
and i found a $10 discount code for diapers.com but it doesn’t actually apply to cloth diapers,...

'oh' is NOT A NUMBER!
cut that shit out people. it’s a g-d letter! ZERO is the number you’re looking for!
you can’t just call a number by the name of something else it looks like. you don’t hear people say “i was born in nineteen infinity-symbol-on-it’s-side two”

notes on a day in the life
so what you saw pretty much sums up my weekdays.
there are lots of little things that i left out though which goes without saying - like caring for the blind deaf diabetic dog, smothering the baby in tickles and kisses, his pterodactyl noises, slapping on some deodorant & makeup, and of all my snacking.
and of course we don’t go to Carytown every day. some days it’s beautiful out...

tomorrow i will be spamming your dash
since each weekday in my house is fairly similar for me and the babe i’ve decided to chronicle a day in our life. it’s amazing how our days right now are the same from day to day, as they were months ago, but what those days are made up of changes so quickly as the weeks pass. so i figure i’ll do this now, then in another couple of months...

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Taylor Armstrong... →
maybe i’m late to the game on this but i keep seeing commercials for this and i’m… disgusted? stunned? surprised?
i mean i can’t be the only one who thinks it’s in terribly poor taste to go public with allegations of being abused shortly after the accused committed suicide

what i've learned in motherhood
you will compare your baby to other babies.
to your friends’ babies.
to strangers’ babies.
to what the weekly emails tell you your baby should be doing.
to the babies on Teen Mom.
it’s totally normal and just means you’re a good mom who wants to make sure your baby is developing. sadly the downside is that your baby won’t always be doing the things other babies...

A Letter
Dear owner of a local boutique,
it’s not that i enjoy shopping in your store because i’ve checked with other local Moms and we all agree that your employees are unncessarily bitchy, it’s just that you’re the ONLY local store that sells Zutano. so whenever you have a sale i’m there seeing what i can find to put my baby in or gift to others. but when i politely inquire...

what i've learned in motherhood
for newborns - you should wear your baby and vacuum!

even if he doesn’t go to sleep he’ll chill the eff out

all of my FiOS is out.
ALL OF IT.
no cable, no internet, no landline. wtf? i don’t even USE my landline but you better bet that was my biggest gripe when i was on the phone with Verizon for an hour (an hour!) how am i supposed to dial 911?!
and they said “okay, we can have a tech out there…um…it looks like… Monday.”
WHAT?!

why are there 2 carseats in the back of Ryan’s truck?
can someone please relay the message to Amber that both of the photos she has in a frame on her counter are the wrong orientation, they’re landscapes not portraits. it looks like the baby is sliding off of someone’s hands.
we rarely get to see full length shots of these folks but thanks to them skiing i actually think...

what i've learned in motherhood
sing something to him in the beginning and sing it often
odds are that after not too long you can use that tune to soothe him out of ANY fit
it’s a priceless tool to have!
