dude I am so over the nap strikes. that’s like three weekends in a row that getting Callen to nap has been almost impossible

for the love of god montresor
I'm yelling at my flex account provider AGAIN because they will not just give me my fucking money, it's been accruing in there ostensibly to pay for daycare but every charge and reimbursement request gets declined
so I'm like are you guys just. are you just taking my money. I'm paying into this, all of the money is mine
chris looked them up on the BBB the other day and apparently this is a common thing
like I'm paying into this from my paycheck, they're not contributing anything, they're just holding onto it for me and keeping it tax-free. it's entirely my money and I am trying to use it for its explicit intended purpose
I love to get scammed out of over $3000 by my own "employee benefits"
my mom made us a fox family out of our Christmas pajamas
I wanna make little glasses for chris' and mine

I have very fine straight hair and I am once again trying a new shampoo to make it not lie like so many sad dead oily eels
I have a good feeling about this one, it was a little more expensive than the usual but I'm willing to pay the price for that tbh
whenever I do a Deep Clean I use baking soda & apple cider vinegar and condition with VO5, which is great to do once but if I make it a habit it dries things the fuck out
and I've been using the OGX guys but scalp itchy. please body chemistry figure it out
sulfate free does still seem to be The Ticket for me, I can still wash my hair twice a week instead of every day, I hope that remains the case with this new one
this has been Hair Talk thanks for joining
If you want to keep testing ,have had crazy good luck with
ethique. Just recently swapped and it's been pretty shocking how much better my gross fine oily hair's been
(s/o to Donna who's been telling me to swap forever)
if this ends up sucking I will check it out, thank you
i literally thought tango had a salon fresh cut and style at your party lmao. so if you guys have basically the same hair, seems like the way to go
so far so good on new shampoo, hooray
chris and I are going on a date night tonight!!! gonna go have dinner and see Parade. one of Callen's former day care teachers is gonna babysit and I think they'll have a great time
I'm excited bc I can fit into my favorite dress again and boy am I Gonna
also 99% sure Callen's been in a hell of a sleep regression, which accounts for the nap strikes and the clinginess at night
he woke up at like 2am and wouldn't fall back asleep. I went into his room to turn his music on and tuck him back in and he would pop up immediately as soon as I tried to leave
I managed to finally sneak out by keeping the gate open (it gives me away by creaking when I unlatch it) and the side effect was that Pippin went on in after I had left, and he curled up on his floor
but then when Callen woke up again he saw Pippin there and just chattered to him for a bit before falling asleep. it seems it is finally Pip's time to shine
you're not alone if your puppy is there with you
we've had to lock him out in the past because he eats Callen's socks lmfao
but he's been waiting for this moment I think
literally since callen came home from the hospital pip has wanted nothing more than to sleep in his room and finally we let him
a welcome adjustment to pips job description
pippin the dad who stepped up (so y'all can sleep ever)
Parade!!!
Ty Lana for the ticket hookup
dude this is Really fucking good
pyramus and thisbe painting when
I may have to paint this tbh
we watched little J in addition to Callen while her parents went out today and both kids were very good but also very two years old and I am BEAT
not like we needed convincing to not have a second kid but holy shit
