My Ugly Baby
Posted August 23, 2007 at 5:01PM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
After DD was born I wasn't sure what to think. She was funny looking as most newborns are, but after the nurse said she was the best looking baby born that night I thought, well, the nurse must know what she is talking about. Still in my heart I knew she was border-line ugly; bald, big nose and never smiled.
Luckly she’s grown to be a good looking kid with a head of sweet curls and just the best, sweetest, kindest kid I could ever dream of. But man she was ugly when she first started out. And looking back at photos just confirms it. It’s funny because living in the moment you think, oh she’s not that bad, but boy was I wrong. Judge for yourself.
Just a FYI, that’s her father’s nose which looks good on a grown man, not a baby.

dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos
we have a code word..."nifty"like, for example, an ugly baby will go by in a stroller and my hubby and I will whisper, "nifty"You can even say it to the parents..."oh, what a nifty little munchkin you have!" just be sure to use a sticky sweet, bubbly voice!also, my oldest turned out pretty cute despite a nifty babyhood. he never smiled either- no song and dance could make him crack a smile!
oh, and I love your honesty...no rainbow colored glasses on you! and btw, she's pretty cute though!

I think I'm bias cause this Cutie is adorable and I think beautiful. Must be my rainbow glasses. Our DD came out all burnt (skin peeling like she'd been in the cooker too long), but I still thought she was beautiful, odd alien looking but beautiful. A coined phrase "a face only a mother could love". LOL. he he.It's a good thing she is so beautiful now cause it helps me get through those whinny days where I just want to jump out the window.
abrown925 responded October 12, 2007 at 12:17AM
I have seen ugly babies. Yours is NOT. I thought my son looked like an alien when he was handed to me. All I could say was "What an angel!" He is quite honestly (no bias at all =) ) THE most beautiful boy I have ever seen. Even at 5, he gets cuter every day!
Sticky_Mommy responded October 12, 2007 at 12:33AM

Diggin the motherhood gig
LOL That was one of my biggest fears when i was pregnant. I think I did pretty good though. But when I look back at her newborn pics, i realize I must have thought she was cuter than she really was. Newborns are funky! but nice to know I am not the only one who feels that babies can be fugly! Even just for a while!
Kelmcmom responded November 6, 2007 at 10:02AM
ps I think she is cute. got that sexy "pout" thing goin for her. At least you can tell she is a girl, everyone keeps callin mine a "handsome boy". Um hello? just cause she is wearing GREEN does not make her a boy!
Mom2Dan responded December 30, 2007 at 10:18PM
Awww, lol, you should really write more about this & submit it to a magazine because I think this is something other moms would love to read & be interetsed in, & some may feel the same way about their own but afraid to say it. You're saying what many moms thin but are too afraid to talk about. I can remember staring at my own son right after he was born & looking at every detail on his face & hoping he wouldn't be an ugly duckling & then thinking oh my how vain can I be? lol but it's just a normal human emotion for some people & then some people just don't care. I loved what you wrote & I love the pics. She's still adorable!!
Bye, Bye Clutter
Posted August 22, 2007 at 12:25AM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
My house is clutter filled (well it's my room really, and really, really it's my side of my room - but a marriage is 50/50 so I tell my husband it's half his mess).
I've resorted to hiding things. I put things I don't know where to put in my room, or in my closet and then shut the door. It used to be isolated to my room, but it's starting to creep into the kitchen, and basement. My "organization" is the bane of my husband.
When I get back from my all-girls vacation I am going to give myself and my husband another gift - the top our dresser. I am going to follow these steps:
Getting rid of things I don't need and finding proper homes for the stuff I do will do wonders for the house & our marriage! I know things will seem a lot more organized around the house. I’ll let you know how it goes.
vtmomof2 responded August 22, 2007 at 12:59AM
Life is crazy but wonderful.
It is so hard to go through things. I have this same problem. My closets and dressers are so full that our clothes usually spill onto the floor. But my husband is just as bad if not worse than me, so we look at it together and try to figure out what to do. Good luck digging out.

I am very moody when it comes to being organised especially home making..I would love to set things in an organized manner but I am just too lazy for that...And DH is just the opposite,he is too very systematic in everything he does...
Mumsey responded August 23, 2007 at 8:21AM
Hmm - what does DH do that keeps HIS side of the room clean? Do you have enough bureaus so that you can keep the stuff you really want hidden away? Are DD and DS learning from you or DH? It's tough to keep your clutter picked up if the kids' clutter pickup comes first.
LatteMommy responded August 23, 2007 at 10:58AM
OMG. When you do this YOU WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AND HAPPIER. I do this from time to time and the feeling is so wonderful.All girls vacation.....I NEED ONE OF THOSE BAD! Lots of wine, umbrella drinks, a beach and sleep and adult conversation. Oh how nice.ps...when you are done with your dresser you are welcome to come visit our house and work on our clutter drawers! We used to only have one but now we have clutter boxes too. I mean it, when we move into our first house these boxes ARE NOT coming with us. :-)
Why can't they do this on the weekend?
Posted August 21, 2007 at 4:39PM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
I went into work early today and left my house before anyone was awake. When I called DH to see how his morning was going at 9AM he said he was just waking up. Wwwhh? Just waking up?! Not fair. Our 3 year old was downstairs reading books and the 1 year old had just woken up a little before 9. Well of course they slept in because the kids both got up last night and needed to get into bed with us.
Why can't they sleep in till 9 on the weekends? WHY?!
Good for my husband b/c I’m going on a cruise with my girlfriends next week for 5 whole days without my family. And I’m going to see that 9AM and raise it to 10:30 AM. Ha.

What's the most $ you've spend w/out discussing it
Posted August 17, 2007 at 1:54PM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
My DH and I talk about things we need and things we want, and there are some things I buy with out discussing it with him.
The most I've spend without talking about it first would be around $160 for jeans.
I know, I know… I didn’t know it was going to be that much, but I had to have them. And I wear them all the time, so they’re almost free now. It’s not like I didn’t tell him (he saw the price tag) but that’s the most I’ve spent w/o discussing it first.
Don’t tell me I’m the only one - admit it!

I enrolled in school and applied for loans and than I told him - $15000. But this is an investment and I am suppose to get a return on this money so it is worth it. I don't think he was surprised though I had been talking about it for awhile. He is so supportive.

Mommy of 2 Girls!
I signed the papers to get my car w/out my husband knowing. ($17,900, 1 yr old 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe, I talked down from $22,500) I told him I wanted to go look at it again w/him, but it turned out, I only needed him to sign some things LOL. However, I worked then, I made the payments, all paid off, and I still love this car to death! He was not thrilled I got a Hyundai, but now he loves it too.
LatteMommy responded August 17, 2007 at 11:01PM
I really can't remember. I do the accounting book, so I watch my spending and DH is good about asking if there is enough money in the account for things. Before we got married and when I was working, I used to spend a lot of money on clothes to look professional and keep up with styles. Now that I look back, I don't know what happened to that person, but sure glad I don't spend money on clothes like that anymore. I bargain shop now.
nadaplum responded September 10, 2007 at 8:48AM
Yikes, I have spent a lot. I have done a lot of damage over the years. I love shopping and when I am in the mood, I AM in the mood and nothing will stop me. I have dropped over $3,000 in one day. But that was years ago. I have learned my lesson well. Always ask before you buy...and he does the same as well. We talk about it first then we decide together if it's a need or a want.
My Boss almost killed me
Posted August 15, 2007 at 9:11AM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
Well when I say “almost killed me” I should say he didn’t do it on purpose and I wasn’t in the hospital, but I did feel like I was dieing.
Every Monday we have a staff meeting and to insure a good turn-out he buys us all lunch. This week it was Chinese. I thought I made a good choice in a veggie dish and some fried rice, oh boy was I wrong. Later that afternoon I wasn’t feeling myself. After work my family and I met another family at a restaurant to celebrate a birthday. I knew I wasn’t feeling well when I couldn’t finish my ice cream – for sure a tell tale sign. I went to bed as soon as we got home and woke up around midnight and RAN to the bathroom. Yuk.
Yesterday morning I didn’t yak, so off to work I go. I did OK, and went to bed early again.
The nice thing about being sick is I got out of cleaning-up after dinner and got more sleep then I had in a long time (this included my DD getting into bed with us and waking me up, and DS getting up at 6AM).
Lesson learned: Free lunches are good, getting out of cleaning-up better.
rockergirrl responded August 15, 2007 at 9:24AM

And I'm talking about right now. Not when the company is coming over, but after lunch when the breakfest dishes are still not put away and, you’re trying to panic out of the house or you're too tired/busy to tidy up.
Yes, I'm trying to make myself feel better about the condition of my house right now and I'm hoping some of you also have, well not messy - more like un-tidy houses. I mean the kids are not going to get taken away messy, more like don't eat that off the counter top messy, and you may want to keep your shoes on messy.

I've had worse days. Because I am a SAHM w/a helpful 3 yr. old, we pick up as the day goes on. BUT...*Bed not made, do that before we go to bed.*Thank God I vacuumed yesterday cause the carpet was gross*Still have laundry to put away, a wall to paint, clutter to chuck, bday cards to take down from 4 months ago, kitchen floor needs scrubbing, bathrooms need scrubbing, and I need a scrubbing too, but that'll be after I scrub the kid and put her to bed. Now my sinus' are going nuts.*Laundry is on my agenda for tonight to finally finish those two loads from three days ago. I've been good on the dishes this week though. Having dishes in my sink and piled up makes me depressed, when my kitchen is clean I feel better about our home and for some reason I'm in a better mood. weird. *oh just forget the playroom. DH built a huge tent down there and it is wrecked. *Living room gets wrecked in less than five seconds and take more than 5 minutes to clean up. What's up with that?*Can't stand all the paper. Love to burn it all.

I cheat quite a bit. We have huge laundry room downstairs (next to playroom) I found a table on a yard sale very cheap. There are 6 children so I wash clothes and make everyones piles each child has a pile with their undies, shirts, and bottoms. They all know where their piles are and it saves me 30 to 45 min a day in walking from room to room putting up clothes. and if company comes i getthem to put them away!

What are your funeral plans?
Posted August 8, 2007 at 12:55AM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
I know this may sound morbid, but my Uncle died and he had the exact type of funeral I want. His funeral wasn’t the only thing I admired; he also lead a good life which has been a good example for me.
I don’t think my Uncle lived with many regrets. He worked very hard (he owned his own successful business) and played hard (hey, he had four kids!). It makes me think about my own life and doing things to live a bit everyday. Whether it be riding my bike, stopping to be in the moment with my kids, getting take-out instead of making dinner, having snuggle time with my husband after the kids are in bed, or calling my Mother, I try to remind myself to not wait until the kids are older, or I’m thinner, or we have more money to do things and live now.
After my Uncle’s Church service we all went to a restaurant with an open bar (again see above about play hard) and had a great meal. We watched a slide show/video set to my Uncle’s favorite music and then shared stories about him. It was great. There were lot’s of smiles and laughter, along with tears. But it was the funeral I want when it’s my time. And then after I’m cremated I want to be kept in my kids laundry room (next to my cremated dog) so I can be close to my family (no scattering for me).
What do you want after you’re gone?
Smasuzzo responded August 8, 2007 at 1:14PM
yea that sounds awesome... i want people to celebrate the kick ass life i had... not be sad im gone. And cremation def... getting buried scares the crap out of me.... what if im not dead!? Plus I just don't want my body outside like that... scatter me... in the fall ... anywhere... or id like to be put in a garden.
vtmomof2 responded August 8, 2007 at 1:36PM
I want a church funeral and to be buried with a nice headstone. I want everybody to celebrate my life. I like the idea of a dinner at a restaurant and a slide show set to music that is really nice, it is nice to remember people that way. I don't think it is morbid, we will all die and it is good to think about how you want people to celebrate your life and that is what it should be about.
akinvt responded August 8, 2007 at 4:39PM
Wow, this is pretty deep stuff. I agree that I want my life to be celebrated and not mourned. I'll have to pick out the photos for the slideshow ahead of time - I want them to be good ones and have mostly from my days when I was young and hot!
Sticky_Mommy responded August 8, 2007 at 4:51PM

LatteMommy responded August 8, 2007 at 5:47PM
I totally agree with S_M! The closed casket and playroom for any young children and creamation with my ashes buried with my beloved scottie. It was a beautiful way to celebrate his life and I think it would be wonderful for everyone to go out celebrated like that. The pictures and slide show were an awesome idea and beautiful.Treasure the moments you have with those you love, cause they are too short.

I am sick about that bridge collapse yesterday
Posted August 2, 2007 at 1:25PM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
I’ve been thinking about this all day and can’t stop. It’s amazing how you process news & events with your parent filter on. Before becoming a parent I would have thought this was a tragic, but now with my mom filter I’m putting myself in the position of what if that was me? What if it was my kids? How awful to be a parent and lose a loved one.
I heard about the bridge collapse on the radio and all I can think about are the kids in their car seats. I mean, how can you get them out the car seats when you have more then one strapped in?
It just freaks me out and makes me so sad. I just needed to put it out there. Hug your babes extra tight today and think about how lucky we all are.

Can you get revenge on 3 year olds?
Posted August 1, 2007 at 1:10PM by Sticky_Mommy I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!
Tell me if I should plot my revenge or if I’m over reacting. I'm pretty sure I'm over reacting...
My daughter came home from pre-school the other day with a different shirt on and when my DH asked why she said, “Jackson, Madelyn, and Connor threw sand at me and I told the teacher.” It made me wonder if my DD is the kid the other kids pick on. She only goes 2X a week where the other kids go 5, and she just started going 6 months ago so I also wonder if she’s not in anyone’s circle of friends. She does talk about the friends she does play with so I know she has some friends at pre-school.
I want to protect her from all the mean things kids do and it breaks my heart that 3 kids ganged up on her. I know I was phased more then her, because I did feel better when I ask her
“…I thought Madelyn was your friend.”
Her response, “Not any more.” You go Girl!

OMG. Kids can be so mean at school. Our DD get protected from that so far, but we know she will face that teasing thing soon enough. It is so hard as a parent, Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent to not be able to protect your wee one from the "bullies" or "meanies".Oooouuuuuu frustrating.You go CC!

yes that is hard. I remember my oldest DS coming home one day from daycare saying some kids put sand down his pants. That is when he was going full time so don't think it is just because she is part time. That age is one big test. Testing parents, teachers, other kids. We had biters in our daycare, my DS even went through a pushing phase. It is so hard to go through though.

It gets worse when they get to elementary school. Last year I was getting gas when a little girl came up and told me that she doesn't like playing with my daughter and that she makes my daughter cry. I asked my daughter about it and it was true, I told her to ignore the little girl (I'll be nice, she is a child) but I went home and cried that my baby was being made to cry because of this hild. Inside I wanted to fight for her. I did haved to go to the school a couple of times because one little boy bounced a ball off from her head trying to break her glasses but what he didn't know is that he caused her to have surgery because she has implants inside her ear and he knocked them out of place and almost cost her her hearing. I was all over the school about this one. I yelled so much they were very careful when it came to her. I guess there is just a natural protective instinct when it comes to our babies that it is upsetting when anybody including children hurt our babies.

revenge on a three year olds...hmm...it's called spontaneous nap time - that's all I got on this one!

vtmomof2 - that makes me sick about what happened to your little girl. On both accounts. Did you talk to the parents or did the school talk for you?
