Yawnnnn, Ari has been up since 3 whining. Its 5 now and time to get ready for work. I am tired.
Also, we are doing 2 small family lunches for Ari's party. Dh and I love the idea, MIL is apparently offended that her family isn't all invited. Sorry but your family is huge and we don't have the space for massive parties. When he gets older and remembers we will have a dumb party. For now, shut up and leave us alone.

I have had a cold for a motherfucking month now. I finally went to the doctor today, who said it looked like bronchitis and wanted to give me antibiotics. Unfortunately, penicillin makes me barf, so no -cillins could be prescribed. The rest of the antibiotics out there can only be taken with a nursing break or weaning, neither of which is happening around here. So it's just me and my Neti. And some plant-extract shit. Also, my face feels like it's going to fucking explode.
My biggest concern? I haven't been able to go running in over two weeks now, and I'm afraid all my hard work has gone to shit.
My DH is doing work in the apartment today, which means DD and I should be out as much as we can to avoid the noise and mess. I have a ton of shit I need to do though to get ready for DD's party and won't have to chance to get to it now until later in the week. Had he done these projects when I asked him MONTHS ago, this wouldn't be an issue. Bllaahhh. PS- feel better dorothyzbornak!
I slept 10-1230 and 5-715 last night/this morning. I feel like a zombie. And my parents will be here at 1130 to go out to lunch and the house needs to be vacuumed and the dishes done. As much as I love my parents and as laid back as they usually are, the totally judge the shit out of my messy house.
DH had to get up early this morning. Every time his alarm went off, he hit snooze. Finally, he got up and in the shower. When he got out, he was all "Is Buddy up already? Why are you already up?" Because your alarm went off six times, jerk!!
Spring break is over. I guess no one warned Micah, because he lost it when I left this morning.
MH and I argued all day yesterday. He was in tears when I told him (yet again) that we cannot revolve our lives around getting Micah to his parents, and he told me that I needed to be the mean one and tell her, because it's too hard for him. Fine. Hand me the phone. By the end of the day, it finally came out that he quit taking his Chantix because it made him sick. Well, not taking it makes him an ass, so we need to find another solution.
I'm going to be hungry all day, because my body thinks that it's still on spring break. And I'm going to try to go pump free today, despite the fact that I nursed constantly all last week.

Have you tried anything homeopathic? We started using these, as recommended by my crunchy aunt, and I thought they worked really well. I was always afraid of messing up my supply, so there wasn't much I could take for a cold. I hope you feel better soon!
MH broke the news to his parents that there is a pretty good chance we will be moving. It went surprisingly well. TOO well. I knew it was too good to be true, because yesterday his mom went BSC about how we are taking "her grandson" away from her and MH jokingly said "well we will get a 3 bedroom place so you can come too" and apparently she was like "oh not a bad idea". WHAT!!!

grapefruit seed extract in the neti is helpful. It's not antibiotics, but it's helpful

this sucks! I hope you feel better soon! Dont stress about the running - your body will remember and it'll come back quickly!
My Dad watches Alexis during the day. He landscapes in the summer 2 days a week but this isn't an issue because MIL is a teacher and takes over the days he works. Well at 6 last night my Dad told me he would be working today. Now I have to miss work. It really sucks. If he gave me more notice it would be fine because obviously I don't have a problem with him working. But WTF telling me Sunday night fucking blows.
Report cards go out Friday. I was told to have all 800 students' grades in by Wednesday so they could start printing the cards. So I put it off until I came back today. They already started printing the cards. Grrrr.
I've been to three CVSs to try to get my passport photos and they keep screwing them up. Then I decided I'd cut the last set myself to size with a scissors and I screwed them up more (obv.)
So now I have to go to CVS again to try to get them AND then go to the embassy and be like WTF Is with your Irish passport photo requirements?!! aaaah. This whole passport thing is draining me.
Then I finally got six addresses friday and mailed six invites. I still have to get about 15 addresses and mail more. Aaah. This whole invites thing is stressing me out and hello there is still the entire PARTY to plan! i want to cancel it but now some invites have gone out its too late. Plus we bought a pinata
Oh and today is the first day of my "going to one pump" at work. So my plan is to push it back to say 11am but it's only 845am and my boobie she didn't have this AM is very engorged already. blah.

DH is addicted to Candy Crush. Ugh. I've created a monster. I would play while nursing X or right before bed and he would always ask me what I was doing. I've been stuck on level 65 forever and he kept saying that he could pass it no problem and he didn't understand why it was so hard. So I told him if he passed it for me I'd give him sex. I now can't get the phone out of his hands. He played until 1am. He was supposed to do the dishes last night and get dinner started for today, nothing was done, and he still hasn't passed level 65. What have I done?!
My kid just unleashed holy hell on my house. He was tired because apparently he spent last night having a dance party in his bed. So, instead of a happy morning baby, I had a daredevil whine bucket who thought that diving head long into things was desperately important.
My defense is tomorrow and I have barely prepared. Birthday invites need to go out like today. And I just want to sit on the couch with ice cream and booze.
Both DS 2 and DD had the stomach bug this weekend. I'm so happy I didn't plan a birthday party for DD because it would have been horrible timing.
I'm so over my kitchen renovation. I just want it to be done. We have been out of the kitchen for 3 weeks and will be for another 3. The frustrating part is that people are only here doing actual work 2 - 2 1/2 days a week. If there was work being done everyday - shit could be done by now.

I'm with Dorothy with the month long cold from hell. Except I have antibiotics but they aren't doing a damn thing. Okay I lied. They got rid of the green color to my snot but that's it. I'm still super stuffy, lots of sinus pressure and headache. I've been using this sinex nasal spray and it works great but the bottles says to only use it for a max of 3 days. I'm way over that by now...
Good news is, it hasn't affected my supply at all and Pey is still happily nursing.
I'm trying to find positive posts to read today because I'm in an awful mood and have been a jerk to H. I think its because memories and flashbacks of this time last year keep coming up.
I just want to cry and sulk by my self but I cant do that because I have two babies up my ass constantly. And I'm so over people telling me shit like, I don't know how you do it. Two at once must be so hard! Are you getting any sleep? Wow they are so little for being 11 months! I dont know how I do it either, but I have no choice. Two is hard. No, I am not getting much sleep.* They were 2 months early, so yes they are small. You know what I really want to say? STFU and go away.
I have a million other things I can bitch about right now- lack of time to run, inlaws, my own mom, work, birthday parties....but I want to try to get out of this funk so I won't.
*because its like the boys have some conspiracy against us. Jack has slept through the night for the past week. Henry still wakes up non stop. Last night? Henry slept through the night and Jack decided he wanted to wake up four hundred times. Awesome.

Some asshole texted Matt yesterday and asked him "how could you get a silver star and I couldn't even get a bronze star?" and totally knocked him down from how happy he was feeling about the award. This guy is so concerned with glory and attention, it's always been a problem, but now Matt is feeling like he didn't deserve it, when he DEFINITELY did. I felt like calling the guy myself and ripping him a new one. It was then compounded by a reporter who called yesterday and repeatedly asked him "do you feel guilty about accepting this award?" WTF is wrong with people?!
My family left yesterday and it's hitting me really hard. It was great having them here and seeing them with A. We won't see them until mid summer at least, and that kind of breaks my heart.
I also would love it if my morning sickness would miraculously disappear.
I am back to work after a week of vacation and it suuuucks I want to quit but I can't afford it. I am starting to hate my job. Also I have some kind of stomach bug and I feel like I'm dying ugh. I have not done anything to plan for Macy's birthday, with this vacation today really snuck up on me!
Dylan will not STTN. We try everything and he still gets up at 3-4am and wrecks the house. Well not all the time but sometimes he gets into stuff he shouldn't. This morning he had 2 tootsie pops and a handful of other various candy at 4am. Breakfast of champions!
Sending healthy vibes to all the sick moms and kids.

Wow. I'm so sorry. People are awful and jealous. He absolutely deserved the award. I hope Matt isn't getting down on himself. He is a true hero and he deserves to be recognized.
I know you are probably feeling lonely now that your family is gone. If you're around/free, I could do a zoo trip this week or next to help occupy you for a bit!

What an asshole and WTF is up with the reporter asking that question? That's insane! Why should he feel guilty for accepting the award?

I'm pissed that my other hip needs surgery. I don't want to have to consider that in our family planning timeline. And, I don't know how the hell I'd have hip surgery with one little one, let alone two. I will probably have to wait until DS is two, but then that puts a larger gap between the kiddos than I want, plus I have IF issues...bah humbug.
