Preemptive condolences you're way...

[rubber pants]

DD's molars are KILLING her! 3/4 of them popped the surface but are now in the stage of the flat part of the tooth pushing through. She's miserable, which makes us miserable.

I have to say this "out loud" and I think this might be the best place to put it. I POAS yesterday. I've been having wacky symptoms all month but mostly because my only test expires this month. BFN. I should be really happy because having another baby now would not be good for us, but I'm actually really, really sad.

My whole body sorta aches. Because I ran a whopping 3km yesterday. Whomp whomp.

I had to miss most of the memorial for my friend's mother because I spent all day in the ER with H. I snuck out for an hour while he was still sedated to offer my condolences. I was particularly sad because it was at a restaurant with good food and open bar and I missed it.

CD29 and so sign of ovulation. Wah.

My father in law has been here everyday since Saturday helping my husband replace the tub and shower. I really do appreciate him doing this but I am mopey because I have had to keep Noah out of the house all weekend and I have barely seen my husband and now he shows up at 8 am to help finish it....he did not say he was coming over and DH and I were finally getting "alone time" oh well at least I get a new tub?

DS has another ear infection. They switched him to new medicine due to his reaction to amoxicillin. He hates the new medicine. We have tried hiding it in a variety of foods/beverages and I had to pin him down, squeeze his cheeks and listen to him gurgle it to get it in him this morning. Since we tried hiding it in a variety of foods.... he is now suspect of all food I give him and has been refusing some of his favorites like yogurt. He also will no longer take his bottle (which I suppose is a good thing as I wasn't sure how we were going to take the bottle away anyway) but thus far hasn't taken any milk out of sippys.... Should be an interesting week...

[muppetinma]

I'm bummed and whiney that we have to miss several classes and playdates while waiting for Andrew's antibiotics to kick in. #firstworldproblem

[christidee]

It is the last week of summer break. Whaaaaa. School starts next week. I'm excited for it to start, but I will miss sleeping in until 6:15 ish. I will also miss morning cuddles with Jake

[helicase]

I'm supposed to hear today or tomorrow about a job I interviewed for last week. I'm really anxious and want them to CALL ALREADY because, what's the damn hold-up? I have everything they're looking for and I'm awesome, so I don't know why I wouldn't get the job. Ugh.

[irishsara]

Today Ethan turns 7. 7!! Time sure flies. Its also been 7 years since I became a mom. Totally crazy. Its hard to believe my baby is getting older. It makes me want to cry.

Ds2 has been mucking around in his bed for 2 hours. He has wanted his water, a fresh rag, more water. argh!!!! It's midnight and I haven't slept yet. Go to sleep FFS!!!

[irishsara]

I felt like ass before I left for the beach. The whole time at the beach I felt awesome. Now I'm back and feel like I'm going to barf all over the place again.

I think I need to move to the beach. Clearly it does wonders for my morning sickness.

blaaahhhhhh

My classroom is nowhere near ready and I can't get much done when I have to take Blake with me. I could get someone to watch him, but I am starting to get really sad about the school year starting soon and I don't want to give up any of my days home with him. I don't want to go back to work yet!!!

[cat19]

Lily has what looks like the start of another cold, and Lindsay is being a brat who doesn't want to do shit to help me - but do the opposite of everything I say even though when we're done here we're going to do some really fun shit. I'm getting really really really frustrated with her. I just had to call B and have him talk to her because I knew I wouldn't be rational. And she's still sitting there playing when all I asked her to do was pick up the living room. Oh, and she's making Lily scream by taking away everything she touches. Good times. So glad I decided to keep her home from camp "to have fun."

Both my work and dh's work haven't even making sales so they are solving into payroll. We've gotten so many shifts taken from us in the last few weeks and our newest schedules each have less than 20hrs. I have no idea how we are going to get by.

I woke up with a scratchy voice and I'm a slowly losing my voice this morning. I think in coming down with something.

There is a ninja mosquito in the house somewhere. I've been bitten four times this morning already.

ETA: Peyton's weight check is tomorrow morning and I'm not looking forward to it. I got so tired of throwing out cup after cup of WCM. She wouldn't drink hardly any of it and then the container would expire before it was even half way empty. We only bought the small bottle, not even a half gallon. So we haven't offered it in weeks. We finally gained her trust back and she is eating again so I don't want to mess it up by trying to force milk on her again. So I doubt she has met this magical weight gain number she is supposed to meet tomorrow.

What for? I applied to a job that I thought at least they should interview me for it. But it has been almost two weeks and have not heard a thing. Although I was applying more for the heck of it, still makes me sad.

MH is back to working 6 days/week, and I'm just realizing it. It started 3 weeks ago when he got up at 6:30 on his "day off" and apologized for not telling me that he had band rehearsal. Whatever. Tuesday, same thing. Finally, Tuesday night, he told me that he'd have rehearsal for the rest of the week, and then go to his main job after that. No biggy. Mini camp is common.

Then it happened the next week. And then again last week. His normal job is Tues-Sat, and band is Mon-Fri. He's gone from 7:30-6 every day. No wonder Micah can no longer be consoled by his father. He LOVES his Dadda, but that guy can't make everything better, which puts a large load on my shoulders. All house responsibilities are falling on me, too, and it's starting to get old. He does help out with bed time and MOTN melt downs. I'm not faulting MH. Just venting.

And I bought the wrong kind of hot dogs.

Kidd Kraddick is dead. I have spent the morning bawling and it makes me think of my own mortality and the things I haven't accomplished and probably won't accomplish in my life. Plus I live with my mom and am in the same shitty place I was two years ago. How has nothing changed in two years?

The only thing that hasn't changed is your address. Lots of other great stuff has happened! Don't be too hard on yourself about living with your mom. Seriously, if my mom wasn't a slob I would love to live with her.

That really sucks, I remember when I worked in retail, and would get a crappy week, I hated it, knowing my paycheck would be so small. I hope it picks back up soon with the back to school rush.

I worked at the gap though, and man they had a good discount. I miss the discount.

Thanks. Me too.

The most irritating part is that we aren't NOT busy. We have been slammed for the past week. But we aren't hitting sales. It's baffling my mind! So no we are super busy but understaffed.

DH, some co workers and I all have a theory. About 6 months ago we instilled a new work ethic(?), that is super close to basically the customer is always right blanket statement. So basically a guest can say "hey why did that vacuum ring up for 169.99? It was by a sign that said 139.99?!" We are told to not call anyone to check, call a manager, nothing. Just change the price. Or if say they hand you a 5 dollar bill. But then claim it was a 20 we have to just go ahead an give the change for the "20". The company says behavior like this will keep people loyal to the store. I say it's just making us go broke.

Much more has stayed the same. Shitty job, I can't get a job, and pregnant again when we can't afford it. I just feel that life is stagnant. And i very much hate living with my mom

I am sorry.  I hope this feeling goes away soon.

Ari only napped for 50 minutes. He normally sleeps for at least 2 hours, lately more like 2.5. He refused to go back and done and is super fussy. This afternoon is going to drag.

[Regina Philange]

Im pissed at the bed company we just ordered from. My mom was there today, so we could get our bed delivered. We paid a delivery charge for them to take the old mattress away and set up the new bed. The delivery people said they won't set it up and take away the old mattress. They didn't give a reason or anything. We called customer service and they are waiving the fee, but i just wanted them to set it up. I don't understand, and now i'm pissed off. Today just sucks in general.

Plus,

i had a major problem at work and didn't get a chance to eat lunch, so now i'm pissed and starving. 

I feel myself being really negative and i need to stop.

[rxbeth]

I'm having wicked stomach cramps and feel like shit.

It's a Sr. Scientist position at a small start-up company.  Still waiting...

You should call the HR dept. of the company you applied at and ask what the status of your application is.  Good luck.
