Off-Topic / baby and napping

« on: February 20, 2012, 02:19:58 pm »Message ID: 493354

Well... my 5 month old doesn't sleep.
He will be awake 9-10 out of 12 hours during the day. then he will sleep 5 hours and then up every 2-3 hours until 7am.  at 7am he starts his "awake" time and we are lucky if we get him to take a few cat naps until bedtime between 7-8 am

Exhausting!

My car is nearly paid off and of course that means problems will start now, right?
YEP -- last Thursday my window got stuck DOWN and we are still having "winter" here --- a bit chilly to have the window down.
Always something

My credits are expiring.... since I had a rough pregnancy this summer I haven't cashed out in a few months and now things are expiring. I'm devastated and quickly trying to catch up for lost time before I lose more money.

Off-Topic / Simple Cell Phone

« on: January 27, 2012, 05:22:35 pm »Message ID: 481170

I have AT&T... what type of simple phone might someone recommend?
I need to get a new one soon as mine is having several issues, I rather not have to get one right now, but I do.
I don't want a smart phone (because I don't want to pay for it) and it I just need something that works.  I would like a camera on the phone.

Any recommendations??

Off-Topic / My birthday

My birthday was yesterday and my son was super excited.... He was happy to make me cards and sing and he was disappointed we didn't have cake.
I think i'll get a cake tomorrow (or even a small something at the store to celebrate some more)

My husband got carry out so I didn't have to worry about cooking and my 4 month old slept 7 straight hours... these were nice gifts

Off-Topic / chores at what age

« on: January 22, 2012, 05:56:27 am »Message ID: 478799

i have a 4 year old and I'm trying to determine what is appropriate for "chores" for him.
he does clean up his room/toys and he will assist with putting laundry away and cleaning off the tables.
I know that he is still young, but I think it's ok for him to help out a little as well, as long as he can do the tasks safely, etc.

Off-Topic / fun watching kids

« on: January 22, 2012, 05:54:07 am »Message ID: 478796

I had fun this morning watching my son learn to eat with a spoon.... I was of course feeding him but he seemed really happy to see FOOD vs. a bottle/milk  

I love being a mommy but I am tired all the time--- this too shall pass and then I can get a good nights sleep

Off-Topic / rough day

I know the economy is hard for people and today I had to terminate an employee-- no matter what the circumstances are, it's never a good feeling to have to mess with someone else's life like that.

Off-Topic / What do you want for your Birthday?

« on: January 19, 2012, 05:35:36 pm »Message ID: 477766

My B.Day is next week and my husband has been asking what i want....
well.... there are several things i would not mind having; but the truth is I NEED nothing!  I want to remain practical, we have 2 kids (one of which is a newborn) and we have plenty of bills... I know he would give me the moon and the stars if I asked but I think the money should be spent on something else that needs to be paid and not on me...

Off-Topic / remote control

« on: January 05, 2012, 05:52:48 pm »Message ID: 471031

who controls YOUR remote control (for the TV?)
  my 4 year old seems to control ours and I'm sick of watching kid TV

Oh don't get me wrong, I know I'm the parent and I can control the situation and get him to stop, but if he had his way ..... well I'd be annoyed!

I know we have had these subjects before but these darn kiddo's are just way to smart these days.

our 4 year old is learning to read and when my husband gave him the 3rd book to read the other night he said "WHAT, can't you read or what?"
