Just stupid...

So Bm can doggie shame ss and send her kid to school in filthy clothes. Ss gets caught stealing food from school because there is nothing to eat at home. Ss makes comments that he can't brush his teeth because there are dirty dishes in the bathroom sink. Bm and her husband have to move out of thier trailor becaus the city condemned it. And what does CPS do???? Abosolutly NOTHING!!!

BUT...

Will and Jada smith make headlines for being under investigation (CPS), because a photo was leaked of thier daughter. I'm sure something will be done about this.

O/T... I hate being a SAHM

I'm on week 3 of 12 of my maternity leave and I'm super bored. My baby sleeps all day and night, so not much entertainment from him. I catch myself having conversations with the dog and sometimes with sleeping baby. All I do is cook, clean, and feed baby.

I do get annoyed that DH doesn't help much with the chores or with baby. I completely understand his thought process on this and we both agreed to it before I went on leave - I would be the one to do all the cooking and cleaning, plus get up with baby at night.

MIL is annoying me.

I'm getting annoyed with MIL. She has been here for almost two weeks and I feel like I'm competing with her to hold my own baby. I feel sad because I haven't had the time to bond with my newborn. If he is laying down in the pack n play and makes a little noise, she will race me over there and pick him up. When I lay him down so I can go pump, with full intention of coming back to feed him myself. She will already have him in her arms and hands extended out waiting for me to give her the bottle.

Off topic - puts everything in perspective

I learned this morning that my uncle decided to take his own life. He left me aunt with no explanation just passwords to the accounts and how to draw his life insurance. He left behind 2 boys for my aunt to raise on his own; 14 and 16.

This hit me very hard, my uncle reminds me so much of my husband. He was very rational, had a high power/high paying job, family orientated. He always wanted better for his family.

When does it ever eff-ing end?

So I've been in the hospitial since Friday at 2pm. I was admitted becaus my water broke. After 24 hours of labor, dilating to 10cm, epidural not working at all (redid it twice), pushing for 1 hour, the doctor finally does an emergency C-section. Weirdest feeling ever. Baby boy is healthy, 8 pounds 1 oz. I'm doing okay as expected. But they are keeping me until Tuesday.
