Randoms because I can't think of a worthy UO

[Deleted]

I am working at home by myself and it is GLORIOUS.  DH asked me last night if I realized that this week I have been happy.  I am.  My work/life balance is so much better with Thad at school instead of with the nanny.  I feel like a cloudy haze has been lifted off of me.  

Because I am home by myself, I turned on the Today Show.  I used to love this show so much and now it just pisses me off.  Everything is DANGEROUS and NECESSARY and did I mention DANGEROUS!!!!!!

I bought a netbook off ebay.  I am so nervous that it won't work right.  And I want it to show up RIGHT NOW!

Randoms? Anyone?

The zipper is broken on the pants I'm wearing today, so it will not stay up. At all. Thankfully I'm wearing a long shirt.

I have a meeting that's supposed to start in 5 minutes that I need some data for, but I've been PBing instead of analyzing.

I'm on vacation next week!!! I can't wait to have 1 night alone with DH!!!

I can't wait to GTG with bean47 next week!!!


Alexis had a really bad diaper rash and my pedi told me to us plain Maalox or Mylanta at every diaper change to block any acid! It worked awesome!

I work from home but I am beginning to hate it. I don't have co-workers to vent to and it's really lonely sometimes. I made lunch plans with a co-worker for next week so hopefully that will help.

I also hate my job and it's really bothering me.

I am really negative, annoyed, depressed and PMSing. I had a candy bar for breakfast.

I gave Lillian a piece of chocolate cake that I made for DHs b-day last night. She acted like it was a lemon and tried spitting it out/getting it off her tongue. I had a feeling the kid didn't like chocolate. I am questioning how she is my child

Alexis has a mini neopolitan cake for her bday and she took out the chocolate layer after tasting it and dropped it on the floor! I was shocked that she didn't like it!

I've peed on way too many sticks, so many I'm embarrassed. After my BFN this morning I made myself promise I wouldn't pee on another stick until Monday or Tuesday next week. Now I'm sitting here at work feeling dizzy and trying to talk myself out of going to buy another FRER at lunch time. Lord help me and my peeing addiction.

I took the morning off work to stay home with L while DH took the dogs to the vet (just a check-up/shots). Logan slept 'till 8:00! It was amazing. Feeding L breakfast without the dogs around went so amazingly smoothly too. Then we took the dogs for a 2.5 mile walk when they got back. It was a really great morning. I'm sad I have to get ready to go to work now

Ari hates leftovers and it is pissing me off. Two days ago he happily ate his turkey stuffed green pepper. Now he is acting like it is poison. Grrrr.

[juliamastro]

It has been raining here every day since Friday, and it's not supposed to stop raining until Saturday. Cam loves it outside and keeps asking to go out but we can't go. Our yard is starting to get flooded. I am so sick of it and its really giving me the sads. 

Hobby lobby has fall stuff 40% off and I cannot wait to go with my mom this weekend and do some fall crafts and decorate my house!

I miss my awesome eater. Teething Nolan is sooo picky and it is really throwing me off. He totally poo pood like 3 different fresh veggies, and 4-5 fresh fruits yesterday. WTF?

I am part of a private FB page that is just a few of the daycare moms and I (It's called "daycare" moms therapy", we use it to vent about life as working moms with small kids. It is awesome because no one judges and we can all relate.

[jaime183]

Luke got hives after vaccines yesterday. Stresses me out!

I am so worked up over this job uncertainty, I'm a disaster.

I just got a spot in a swim class that I've been watching for weeks (registration opened today) why does kids stuff have to be so competitive?

Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary. We are going to a Brazilian restaurant with all you can eat meat. The kind of place that walks around with skewers of meat and carves stuff off for you. I'll be in a meat and sangria coma tonight.

That sounds helpful! Sometimes I wish I had FB for these things and other stuff people post about.

I am so freakin busy at work but all I can think of is our cruise vacation in Oct. Less than two months now, YEAH!!

[devonpow]

I just wrote my first ever letter of complaint - to Jet Blue because one of their customer service reps was such a bitch to me on the phone for no reason. And because I am such a pansy I now feel badly...but she seriously sucked!

It's awesome and it really so helpful.  We'll talk about things at their school, how to deal with the whining, activities they are in, and just a lot of venting about bad days, no time in the mornings and the need for new clothing, lol.  Today there were talks of choosing a night for us to go to the mall together to go shopping together sans kids.  Sometimes one of us will just post a photo of coffee and how tough the morning has been.  I love it.

I've worked from home for 8 years now, and it gets so. unbearably. lonely. at times. Hating the job just makes it worse. I'm here for ya, mama!

Are they mom's all from your DC? I always wonder if other mom's are friends. So far, not so much in my experience with the mom's in L's rooms. Really only 1 is even friendly as in saying "hi". Maybe more so when the kids are older was what I was thinking, like when they go to each others b-day parties or for playdates. Our DC does a "parents night out" once a month on a Friday from 6:30-9:30 for $25. We have never done it since we have family who can watch but we may since we have a free pass to use one. I also feel bad for leaving her THAT LONG all day.

Faevantastic I love your siggy pic!

I sometimes buy a slice of pizza from across the street for lunch, its a pretty big slice for $3. Well today we had a lunch meeting with pizza from there and I had THREE large slices. WTF? now I'm sitting here feeling sick from eating so much pizza. I also ate a brownie. I feel terrible right now.

I think I've mentioned my new work situation where my desk is now visible to my boss at all times. Well today I'm delighted that he seems to have several meetings and I can probe more!

I am so productive lately due to this work desk switcharoo though.

I'm disappointed in the lack of juiciness in the UO.

Yep, all from our DC. We lucked out in that everyone is sooo friendly and down to earth, we've been using them since Adam was 11 weeks old and have made many friendships. Once the kids start to go to eachother's parties is when you will really see friendships forming, you'll find that you have so much in common already. Some of the moms and I have girls nights out on occasion, I text with one and am trying to make plans for her family and mine to get together, we've done random outings together.  It is mostly moms of Adam's friends, but many if not most now have kids in Nolan's classroom, we kinda all randomly got pregnat again at the same time.  When you being to see eachother more often, you'll find that it is easy to connect. Luckily some of these moms are very outgoing so early on e-mails were exchanged, we are all FB friends now and it's easy to make plans. You'll get there

Thank you! I've worked PT from home for 2 years but had an office the other days. Now it's home all the time, o office space for me. It has it's good things but it's not as wonderful as I thought it would be. I miss Lillian more now than I did when I was in am office for some reason.

If you o'd on day 19 (which is most likely) then you are only what 7 days post ovulation now? I know it's tough to ignore the phantom symptoms but if you wait two more days you'll be in the window where a + is possible/more likely!

A + at 7 DPO is so unlikely, I mean it happens but in like 1% of people probably. 2 more days and you are in the realm of normal!

that said I won't be able to last til 9DPO I don't think. I mean, I've got 12 wondfos! But I am trying to enjoy drinking beer and large amounts of coffee in the meantime.

I know. It's because when you have to manage your own time and you're at HOME she's "supposed" to be with you. It's such a bizarre feeling. I'm lucky in that C and her nanny are still in the house, but being on the periphery of them is harder than I thought it would be. Like I'm not giving 100% to work OR C, if that makes sense. Being in an office is easier in that sense, because she's not supposed to be there. KWIM? There are positives and negatives to it, for sure. But I LOVED WFH before baby. Now, I just feel like I'm not doing either very well. And I'm lonely a lot, which is a completely new emotion for me. If you ever wanna vent, I'm your girl:)
