It was great. Really lucky with the weather. It's a lovely place but I didn't fall in love with it. Met some great people but other than sharing photos, we won't stay in contact. Just good holiday friends.

lil man is having SUCH a hard time sleeping + its wearing on mama. we started putting him down before 10:00 last night (10-10:30 is his usual final-resting bedtime) and he was still crying + fussing at midnight. daddy finally took him in another room because i was almost in tears. :(

EvaNadine
my parents came up last weekend to give us a good night.
and our good friend (or as i call her, "the third parent") has basically lived at our house every weekend since hes been born to help out. she is an ANGEL.
8:17 am
EvaNadine
hes generally good during the day + most of the evening.
usually he can get to sleep fine, then wakes up constantly throughout the night. but last night, he wouldnt let himself fall asleep...
8:19 am
lorena_k
have you tried some soft music in his sleep area? Or a soft light in a shade other than white light? Probably already suggested to you though I am sure.
8:21 am
EvaNadine
we play white noise at night + also have a noise machine that plays a little lullaby.
i believe teething is the main culprit, but he wont take any teething toys. we have finally started giving him a dose of baby motrin at night to take the edge off, but i really dont want to resort to regularly medicating him.
its time for sleep-training.
8:25 am
lorena_k
yeah if he is uncomfortable he is probably just reacting to how he feels. I was always a fan of that lavender baby bath stuff too for babies. a nice relaxing scent and opens them up when sick. Even a baby massage. Sorry I don't want to be a buttinski lol
8:31 am
EvaNadine
oh, im not one of those people who minds advice, so long as its well-intentioned. :)
i can choose to take it or leave it!
8:32 am
EvaNadine
he is actually overdue for his bath...right now its only once a week, unless he needs more. and we usually do wash-me-wednesdays, but time got away from us this week, heh.
so i think hes gonna get a freshen-up friday instead!
8:33 am
lorena_k
:) true I know you are trying your best I can tell by your frustration.
8:36 am
EvaNadine
i admittedly have issues with having my sleep fooled around with, so this is particularly hard for me.
and on top of that, in addition to the usual motherly response of hating to hear your baby cry, i also have a touch of misophonia, and baby-crying is a trigger...so it makes me really anxious and stressed.
8:37 am
periwinkle
what is misophonia?
8:37 am
periwinkle
hello all
8:39 am
periwinkle
nm I googled it
8:39 am
EvaNadine
its when certain sounds grate on you + drive you nuts.
its most commonly associated with eating sounds, but it can be any sound.
8:40 am
lorena_k
I have definitely been where you are right now. I adored our rocking chair. It relaxed me and babies! lol Would close my eyes and kinda meditate and rock. Please know you are not alone though. A lot of ladies go through this.
8:40 am
EvaNadine
http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/wha\nt-is-misophonia
8:42 am
EvaNadine
i know, lorena. and that helps a lot!
ive been debating calling my OB to renew my zoloft Rx that i had right after he was born...the lack of sleep is hard + im debating if that would help. (but i dont like to medicate myself any more than i have to either!)
8:42 am
tabbycat
Chewing sounds really bother me. Didn't know there was a name for it.
8:44 am
tabbycat
When my children cried it would make me break out in a sweat, but that's a natural response.
8:45 am
lorena_k
It might help you but do what is best for you. I understand not wanting to medicate yourself. I don't know if you have tried taking 5htp. It helps with sleep a lot. Basically just the ingredients in turkey that zonk you out on Thanksgiving.
8:45 am
lorena_k
I remember thinking I was a horrible mom for how I felt with crying. Got brave and talked to my lady friends and my mom.
8:47 am
EvaNadine
thats how i got on zoloft the first time. i KNEW i wasnt feeling right. i didnt really need anyone else to tell me -- marched right to my doc + asked for it.
but it did help so much knowing how many of my friends went through the same thing -- and no one talks about it! i had no idea they had gone through it!
8:48 am
EvaNadine
id prefer not to get back on it again, but i will if i decide itll help.
8:49 am
lorena_k
No people don't really talk about it. And we should talk about it. Supporting each other is easier when we can relate.
8:50 am
EvaNadine
i have so many friends with kids + never once did any of them mention those feelings.
i made a post on FB one night and EVERYONE came out of the woodworks. i was stunned!
i knew it was normal to feel that way, but i had no idea i knew so many people who had.
8:52 am
lorena_k
Nods. No one wants to admit our moments of "weak" feelings. we all want to seem like super heroes. lol But those feelings are like you said very normal to feel.
8:53 am
EvaNadine
i guess ive never had that problem -- im happy to announce to the world that im not perfect + need help. :)
8:55 am
lorena_k
:) *stands in admiration* :)
8:56 am
EvaNadine
my issue is more than i dont like to burden people...so i will gladly tell you i need help, but i may hold back because i dont want to be a burden

interesting dose
12:07 pm
MLFAN17
luv I have heard and read that getting glasses online is the way to go. but I want to see them on me first that requires downloading a photo
12:08 pm
LuvWordGames
I have progressive lenses and usually pay less than $100 for them. Used to pay over $200 for just the ins. Copay before
12:08 pm

ta 5/18 ... sounds very Scottish ... ta + very small but change one of the vowels
12:08 pm
MLFAN17
and online their doesn't seem to be that many options in my opinion unless what is "in style" is very vast. Celebs are starting to wear big glasses like the size of the ones they had in the 70s
12:08 pm
LuvWordGames
Right MLF you upload a pic of yourself and try them on that way

luv its weird but when I look at the online eye glass places I have a tendency to like the men's styles better lol. ihad thought if I could get some glasses I would try black frames as they seem to be what people are wearing
12:12 pm
doseffing
... was there too ...those were the days ... but along came plastic highly refractive lenses which scratched like they had a tic infection .... but they didn't weigh as much
12:13 pm
doseffing
... the small scots involves a double vowel ... change the first one by going down
12:13 pm

there's happiness on the other side minver.. there really is
11:44 pm
Q
i am... glad my husband is far, and out of touch... and also very sad, both for me (it wasn't what i had intended, even though it's right for me, and i've gone through a very hard time since separating, with my mother dying) but much more so for my kids, who deserve better.
11:45 pm
Minveryork
This has been so costly & time consuming, but not going to change my mind. Know alternative is not any better either
11:46 pm
rururocks
it's really hard min.. but it does get better
11:46 pm
Minveryork
Thanks Myriam! I love getting fireworks w/other babblers.
11:47 pm
Minveryork
I am sorry Q! Sounds like you have had it rough. {{{HUGS}}}
11:48 pm
Minveryork
I need to stop complaining about it because I know others have gone through a lot worse than what I'm experiencing
11:49 pm
Q
thanks. it's... yeah. it is what it is. with my mother dying, i can afford the divorce. so there's that? he can't afford anything, so i just need to get it all done and i *think* he'll just sign. i hope.

As I've said before,who needs therapy when U have Babble
11:50 pm
rururocks
My ex and I went through a collaborative divorce
11:50 pm
Q
i've heard of that. can you do that when one party is sort of incommunicado and broke?
11:50 pm
rururocks
it came out pretty well.. not that there wasn't a few rough spots
11:50 pm
Minveryork
My husband cannot afford anything either. I am paying for the whole divorce. I have also been supporting him for the past few years. Unfortunately, we do still live together Q.
11:51 pm
rururocks
you can't .. the two attorneys have to work together so you need two people who want to cut ties peacefully.
11:51 pm
Minveryork
Is that the same thing as an amicable divorce?Sounds nice.
11:51 pm
rururocks
i'm not sure minver
11:52 pm
rururocks
I haven't been this happy in 12 years though minver
11:53 pm
Minveryork
I wanted to go through a mediator,but hubby did not want that. Easy to make demands when U don't have to pay for anything. In the end, I will have to pay him maintenance.
11:53 pm
Q
mine wants to cut ties (as far as i know! he started this, filing for divorce with an $1800 retainer he borrowed (but i don't imagine he's paid back) from his dad... and then his lawyer needed more things from him, and then more money, and he got annoyed and fired them.
11:53 pm
rururocks
wow he's a dummy
11:54 pm
Minveryork
Of course NOW he says we should've used mediator, but it's too late.We are too far into the process of separation now
11:55 pm
Q
this is why i think if i can just get all the papers drawn up, that he would just sign them. but i'm not sure that it even *can* be that easy, legally, whether or not he'd let it be.
11:56 pm
Q
i believe he will agree that we've already split the marital assets. i hope. because i have assets now that i didn't have when we split (all inheritance, none comingled with anything shared with him).
11:56 pm
Minveryork
Any guesses on the next puzzle size?My guess is 411 words.
11:56 pm
rururocks
that really depends on his attorney q
11:57 pm
rururocks
my guess is 151
11:57 pm
Minveryork
We don't have any assets which makes it easier,just house.
11:57 pm
Q
what i am hoping is that he doesn't get an attorney. i might try to use a... not an attorney? there are people who can just do the paperwork, to help him not feel he needs one.
11:58 pm
Q
i wasn't going to get my own attorney when he filed, which was going fine until he fired his.
11:58 pm
origami
Glad I never went through the pain of divorce. My husband and I were best buddies. I feel for you Q and Min.
11:58 pm
Q
we had no assets, either, except the house. and we sold the house a few years ago and have split the proceeds from that.
11:58 pm
Q
i thought we were pretty good buddies, too. we weren't.
11:59 pm
Q
(almost fliptime, anyway... 50 more seconds?)

<--- feels left out
11:59 pm
Minveryork
I spoke to someone who went through three or 4 attorneys during her divorce. How can anyone afford that? Don't you have to start over every time you get a new attorney?
11:59 pm
