It’s time for another edition of Tuesdays’s Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is.
~Over the weekend, I woke up to find L in our bed. Uhh, okay, he should have been in his bed, but whatever. And then I realize I am about to fall off the bed because L sleeps all like horizontally and stuff. And that instead of a pillow, my head has been laying on big doggie (a stuffed animal of L’s) all night. So I reposition L, move big doggie and look for my pillow. It’s on the floor. And BAXTER is laying on it. WTF? And when I got up to get my pillow? L took my spot again. How do people who co-sleep get any sleep?
~I’ve been watching Parenthood (it was one of my “I’m Totally Trying It” things) and I am really enjoying it. However, I am having trouble remembering everyone’s names and who goes with who. Is there some sort of spreadsheet / flow chart on the Braverman’s? Because there are a lot of characters on that show. A lot.
~I want to find the maker of Candy Crush and rip that dude a new one. What is it about this game? I cannot stop playing. And also I can’t decide if it’s a game of skill or a game of luck? Either way, I hate it. And love it. I do hope to stop loving it soon though because it’s such a time suck. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
~That Michigan State loss to Michigan over the weekend was certainly troubling. However, I don’t think it was troubling because they lost. It happens. It’s because now I have to hear about how Michigan is soooo much better and I don’t want to hear it.
~Why don’t people have profile pictures on Facebook and Instagram? It’s kinda creepy. Are you a creeper who is going to start posting random porn stuff on my page? Or are you just not aware you need a profile pic? What is it?
~And this hasn’t happened to me yet (umm, probably because I haven’t done a link-up yet), but I do come across it when I go to comment on blogs in link-ups. Not everyone in the link-up does the link-up. They just throw a link to their blog in there so people will go visit. And the link-up post isn’t there. This drives me crazier than word verification. It’s so rude. Ugh. I cannot even get into how much this bugs. If anyone / ever does this in my link-up, I will delete it.
I have a Tuesday Trouble too – my soon to be sister in law has decided that she MUST be married on May 1st which is the day my husband and I got married. Um, really? They’re basically eloping to the mountains and not inviting anyone, haven’t even set out invitations, but she refuses to change the date because it is ‘booked’. Booked where? I am really annoyed but trying not to be because I am not typically all girly about stuff but this one is really sticking in my craw.
I love Parenthood! Especially the early seasons. Here’s my cheat sheet of the characters you need to know:
Zeke-the dad/the guy from Coach
Camille-the mom
Adam-the oldest son/the guy from Six Feet Under
Kristina-Adam’s wife/she was in a RomCom YEARS ago called Head Over Heels
Haddie-Adam and Kristina’s daughter/kind of a ‘b’ if you ask me
Max-Adam and Kristina’s son
Sarah-Oldest sister/the mom from Gilmore Girls
Amber-Sarah’s daughter/’Egg’ from Arrested Development
Drew-Sarah’s son (not sure if he’s been in anything else)
Julia-Younger sister/stuck up daughter from The Banger Sisters/psycho in Swimfan
Joel-Julia’s husband/cutie-patootie
Sydney-Julia and Joel’s brat of a daughter
Crosby-Youngest brother/Amy Poehler’s boyfriend in Baby Mama
Jasmine-Crosby’s main-squeeze
I purposefully left a couple characters out because I’m not sure where you’re at and I didn’t want to spoil anything!
Cosleepers are crazy!! I cant handle that crap.
As for Candy a rush…. I agree!!!
I have been stuck in level 65 in Candy Crush forever so I think there is more luck than skill to get thru a level. I woke up to to feet in my face the last time Kaylee slept with me in DC and Kelsey always slept crosswise and it took forever to get her to stay in her own bed.

There’s a family tree on wikipedia… but no pictures of their faces
I co slept with 2 of mine until 8-9 months..that said I only got sleep because they slept on my chest or I fell asleep nursing haha. Now all 3 are great sleepers in their cribs/beds 🙂
How did L’s skating lesson go?!
My son has been doing the same. Not every night but once in awhile he will come in our bed, fall asleep in a few min and we will put him back in his bed.
The exact same thing happens with my 2 year old daughter. She climbs into bed and then on we are on the defensive. Sometimes she will have her feet across me and her head on my husband. Argh!
When I first saw your Sunday Social, I clicked onto Neely’s site and read through, saw everyone’s link, posted my link and left. I had no clue that I was supposed to put it up as well. Then I figured it out. Phew! Newbie error.
I have been stuck on level 33 of Candy Crush for days…lol. It’s soooo addicting!
Girl I am just as addicted to that GD Candy Crush. Lord help me, I just recently found it and cant stop playing it. Ive been stuck on the same level for weeks now, drives me nuts!
I LOVE Parenthood!! It was one of those shows I started from the beginning on Roku and then I was all bummed out when I caught up and ran out of episodes to watch. 🙁 It’s a great show once you get sucked in.
Oh candy crush! I hate that game! But I just can’t stop! You would think I’d just stop playing seeing it takes me a whole day or more to pass certain levels. But nope! I think it makes me play even more!
You’ll figure everyone out in Parenthood eventually. As you get further in, they do a good job with everyone having main story lines in different episodes so you learn the characters better. I love that show!
I don’t understand how people co sleep either! My daughter somehow takes up the whole king bed and my husband and I end up on the edge after being kicked in the face 🙂
And I really want to start watching Parenthood, it looks like my kind of show. Its on my list to start!
Cosleeping — I tried for a VERY brief period last summer with our then infant. But it was on the couch or a noisy air mattress because our bed isn’t big enough for two adults, say nothing about adding in a baby. I couldn’t sleep — I was on my side the whole time without moving, so limbs went numb. I was so worried I would suffocate the poor guy, and was always waking up either covered in pee from a full diaper or with water logged nipples because I had nursed almost the whole night. I finally decided I would rather get up every two hours to calm him down in his own crib [and have been ever since then, I might add!] than sleep that way.
As for Candy Crush — I AGREE! Im at level 35 … and hate it because now I need a “plane ticket” to get to the next “chapter”/set of levels. And only one friend of mine gave me one, and you need three or you have to pay for the next chapter. Grrrr! But IM SO ADDICTED!
I know this is a little silly, but I’m new to blogging so don’t hate, but I honestly don’t know how to work a link-up, and I’d really love to do one on my blog. I’m sure it’s really simple but I don’t full understand it. Help please!
I ignored your warning and downloaded candy crush…..I think it’s just luck,
Seriously – how good can Michigan be…Penn State beat them! 🙂
I LOVE Parenthood! We just finished season three on Netflix, and I can’t wait for season 4 to get on there. I can’t watch tv shows on live TV because once the episode is over right away I want to see the next one! So, I will wait for season 4 to be available so I can watch it all at once!
