Breastfeeding and Ugg... not related...

What do you think about this?? If you are breastfeeding and plan to return to work, do you think you'd have enough breastmilk saved before returning?? Yesterday a co-worker had to leave work because her husband ran out of breastmilk to feed the baby. I just think I'd have planned better... or would supplement with formula...

I'm wondering if I do too much... I have a regular full time job, two part time jobs (they take less than 1 hour week total and I usually go during my lunch or my Friday off) and I volunteer at church (this usually means 2-3 evening meetings a month). Well, last night I needed to meet a client after work and then go to a church meeting. Well, my husband was not happy. He works outside and it's really hot right now. He usually picks up Tad from school in the evenings. When they get home he will start to feed him usually before I get home because my son is always starving when he gets home and is ready for dinner. When I have meetings that means he has to feed him, bath him, put him to bed. A lot of this stuff he does already even when I'm home. Yes, I do help, but I guess it's better when two people are here. Well, I don't know if he just had a bad day yesterday or what but he was upset because he things I don't realize what he does around here. I could say the same but I won't go there...

So I'm wondering should I give up my church volunteering... it's only for one more year and then I'll be off the session and won't have to go to there meetings...

He also made a comment that it's only going to get worse because we'll soon have another child.

Yes, I do work a lot about atleast 4-5 months a year because of tax season, but I LOVE my job!!! I make a decent salary that we can't afford to be without... I want to be partner soon which could increase my workload...

I don't know what to do. I'm just a very active, entergetic person...

Different parenting styles...

what do you do when you and your spouse disagree on parenting?? My husband thinks my 2 year old knows when he's doing something wrong. I don't totally disagree, but think he's still learning. Well, this morning at 5 am, he wakes up... I go get him, get him milk and while holding him he sees a Thomas Train package on the counter. Well, it's not for him at 5 am. I tell him no and he proceeds to throw a FIT!! So B wakes up, puts him back in his crib to scream and finally he lays down quietly... B gets him about 30 minutes later...

So now B thinks anytime he does something bad, let's put him in his crib. I don't think his crib should be a place for punishment. B doesn't think time out in the corner works, because he won't sit there. I think 2 minutes is long enough. B thinks he stays until he calms down...

Do 2 year olds really know that much??

It's been awhile...

Since I've updated my blog. Guess I should do that. Currently I'm addicted to a game on Facebook - Knighthood. Yes, it is a BIG, HUGE time sucker!

Well, I just landed me a part-time job. I'm going to do some accounting work for a non-profit. Hopefully, it will also put me in a position to get additional clients for my "real" job. Good luck to myself! Extra money is always nice!

Kristy's blog just made me think about the last 20 years of my life!

20 years ago - I was convincing my parents to let me apply to LSMSA. They didn't want to even think about it!!

15 years ago - getting kicked out of college... taking a sememster off, working full-time, while my friends were thinking "She'll never go back to school!!"

10 years ago - Miserable marriage... thinking of getting divorced... started first job at a CPA firm

5 years ago - Just got engaged! Yeah! Bought a condo with Burnell. Life is much better now!

currently - Blessed with Tad and Burnell! Great job!
