RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

Ds learned to tie his shoes today !

I agree with alvs. You should do what you feel comfortable with. We took our DS on our honeymoon, when he was 8 months old. You can tell how I felt about leaving him overnight. :l ol: Believe me, my DH wasn't happy about the idea at first. OTOH, it's very nice of your inlaws to offer. Mine never did. I would do what I felt comfortable with, regardless of what anyone else thought. If you think you & your DH need the time, & you feel comfortable leaving her with your inlaws, there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your time with him. Bottom line is I wouldn't let anyone talk you into doing something you don't want to do, regardless of what that is.




Thanks

That is annoying and I understand it is hard with a young child without much support.
Whatever your choice is don't feel guilty. Sometimes it is nice to get away and clear your mind and have some me time.

hey miss ccj! you have used the words guilty, rushed, stressed, unsure, bad, and irritated. it sounds like your gut is leaning away from leaving your daughter in your in-laws care. and that is perfectly fine. if they are interested in spending time with baby ccj, & i'm sure they are, they will plan a nice visit or offer to care for her again at some point. it's not a now or never situation. it is no insult to them to have them wait for an opportunity when you are calm, collected, and comfortable about your daughter spending an extended period of time with them maybe you or hubby could be the ones to reach out when you're ready for some couple time & it meshes with your emotional state of mind

I am comfortable with them, it's a matter of whether or not I can let her go when they get here to pick her up. Honestly - I need some time to get some things done. Hubby has been working non stop and I could really use a nice dinner and evening with him and then the next morning to actually clean my house and organize some things uninterrupted. DD is being the cutest thing on the planet right now though so I feel so guilty letting her go anywhere!

I think that is what I need. I told them no more than 24 hours. They can pick up DD after my appointments and after I have everything done tomorrow, around 4 PM. I want her home around 1 PM on Saturday. That gives me and hubby a little time to do something and it gives them some time to spend with her, while allowing me to mentally prep for work and get a good nights sleep.

WTG!

I appreciate the input Most of those feelings are just things I feel every day! I feel guilty about everything in life, I have issues about that Stressed, rushed, unsure, irritated - all related to family, returning to work, daycare, etc too. I think I am just overwhelmed and an evening with my husband may be what I need. If they take her and I decide I can't deal with it, I'll hop in my car and go pick her up

I look at it this way. I am letting them watch DD so hubby and I can go have dinner and shoot pool. If, after he and I are done, we would like the evening alone - we can do that. If I want to go get her, we can do that too I literally am running out of time to get stuff ready to go back to work though!

Yay for DS, now mommy's life is a little easier.

Now I need to get him to stop walking on the backs of them. Drives me crazy because they get ruined.

My son used to chew on the cuff of his long sleeved shirts, drove me nuts. Then one day he out grew it, thank goodness.

I really could use a nice night with my husband, but is 10 weeks to young to be with grandma and grandpa for the night? My hubby thinks I'm a moron (well, he looks at me that way sometimes) for worrying about it so much, I just am not sure. How do you all feel about that?

I usually like to have 5 or 6 swimsuits I like at a time. My DH loves the beach, plus our place in Miami is w/i walking distance. Plus, our 20th anniversary is in Oct., so I'm hoping to have a longer getaway to wear them then.

I hope I didn't curb your excitement for your trip. If I'd known you had it booked, I wouldn't have mentioned it earlier.

Mama Della's is excellent. It's a great choice. The salad is wonderful. Try to save room for dessert. Although, that's hard to do, because their food is so good.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to choose from in my closet for mix-n-match. Between the swimsuits I've already gotten & the ones I have ordered, I now have more bathing suits than summer clothes that fit. I'm bad to go on clothing binges. I decide what I need, then buy the same thing like crazy. : shake: Last month it was bras. This month I switched to swimsuits. After I order one more tankini, I'm finally moving on to lingerie I think.

Happy birthday to him. : teehee:

The swimsuit shipping code is about to expire ladies.

That red dress also came this evening. I'll let y'all know how it looks when I try it on in a minute.

See that's the problem, my DH hates the beach or pool for that matter. I guess it's because he works in it all day long.

Then I wouldn't have an honest assessment. Truth be told I spend so little time in the room it won't matter so you didn't curb my excitement. ; ) We go to the parks, dinner, drinks by the pool, then hit Citywalk. We are only going to RPR because we haven't yet and because I wanted to hang out at the Bula bar. : teehee: But DH is already sad we won't be at PBH. We may end up there after all.

I heard great things about Mama's so I am happy you agree with those reviews. DH loves tiramisu so if we don't have room we'll take it back to the room. ; )

I'm still on bra's. Since DH isn't into lingerie I spend my money on pretty/sexy bra's. After all your clothes don't look as good unless you have a good foundation. : teehee:

There isn't much in my closet right now either. I am really a jeans/shorts and t type of girl. Just recently I started branching out into other clothes. I need more dresses and tops.

Now, it's time to move onto something else. We need lingerie & clothing codes.

My DH is outside a lot of the time, but he still loves the sun. I like to stay in the water, then dry off & leave. He could lay out in the sun all day. Fortunately, he also likes to be in the water. If not, I'd be sending him to lay in the sun by himself. I burn too easily to just lie there & bake. We've both always loved the ocean. I was so glad, when I finally met someone I could convince to move to FL with me. My parents never would, but it didn't stop me from begging them all the time.

It sounds like you have a great trip planned. You're making me want to go back to UO now. If only we could afford to do everything we want to.....

You definitely need sexy bras. I bought quite a few last month & still have some on back order. I think I'm good for a while. Now I need lingerie & desperately need clothes. These girls will soon have talked us into a new wardrobe. They're good at that.

I just placed my last swimsuit order. I'm officially through buying swimwear now.
