Just say no to chocolate!

Ok, so we are at a family member's house the other night for dinner and several of them kept trying to feed my 2 MONTH OLD baby chocolate ice cream!! It's bad enough that they were feeding it to my older two(plus brownies) but I mean hello he's a freakin infant! I'm not going to stick his pacifer in the ice cream and feed it to him thank you very much! I can almost gurantee that if I was not around he would have gotten his first taste of chocolate ice cream and I would not have been very happy about that!
I mean, I'm not a neurotic and obsessive about what my kids eat. I don't want them to eat junk all the time but if they have eaten a good dinner then they can have dessert. I sometimes even *gasp* let them eat McD's! But I'm not ok with my 10 week old who has only had breastmilk and some formula and still has an immature digestive system to have chocolate ice cream!
I almost feel like the family members suggest this on purpose, cause they know it annoys me and that annoys me even more. I guess I just need to not let it bother me, but dammit I can't help it!

I'm going crazy

Why do I sometimes feel like this is my first baby? Yesterday after L's checkup when I was getting him in the car I just felt so new. I had his carrier and his diaper bag and I was just lugging it all around like I had never done it before. I'm like haven't I done this twice before?! I've felt like this several times. Forget going anywhere w/ all three of them by myself, I would be a basket case! This third baby thing has just thrown me for a lup. I was expecting it to be easier, but it has been much, much harder, but at the same time I don't remember life w/o him in it. I know it will get easier as time goes by, but I must admit right now I'm struggling.

On a different note yesterday in the car M(my 6 year old) told me "You're a mom, you're not supposed to have fun!" after she was complaining how bored she was and I told her that my goal in life was not to constantly entertain her and that I didn't always have fun. That child is going to make me prematurely gray, which speaking of hair, my roots are terrible, I need to get my hair done so bad. Wow, this post really has flip flopped everywhere.
