My mother is not even to the hotel yet and she is already driving me bonkers. She is calling/texting/FB'ing me every half hour asking me what our room number is, what are we doing at that moment, etc. I asked her if she knew where the hotel was, she said she had directions for Gettysburg. We are in Lancaster. I asked her if she had maps on her phone, she said she had her tablet. The tablet doesn't work without wifi. But her phone works, so the tablet should work, right? I didn't even try to explain how that logic is so very false. A is currently napping, and I know she's going to try and barge in here to see him.
I got nothing except I have to work, and DH doesn't feel well. So he's already bitching about how hard its going to be to watch J. Suck it up, buttercup.

I'm tire of being the default parent. I am a sahm who spends two weeks alone with the child. When dh is home I don't believe it is too much for me to take a step back and try to relax. But noooooooooo he needs a break too. I told him that if he needs a break, not to come home then. Wy is not an overly needy child. Just get to know his likes and dislikes dh!

How was the rest of the drive?
Actually not bad. He only slept about 45 minutes total on the 15 hour drive. Once I sat back there with him and we had some decent internet connection we could watch Netflix. We are buying movies for the kindle for the ride home.
I had horrible heartburn last night, so I didn't fall asleep until 4am. I then woke up at 6:30 and couldn't fall back asleep. Now, I have a full day of wedding festivities for my SIL and I'm going to die!

That stupid baptism is this morning. It's only stupid since this is the one FIL/MIL tried to plot w/ DH that the girls participate in. It's going to take us like an hour to get to it even thought it is 12 miles away because it is in a stupid canyon and there won't be any stupid a/c or any stupid food I can eat. Ohhhh and I just remembered we didn't get the kids any stupid cards so now we need to leave earlier to stop by the stupid store.
G was up last night until 11:30pm at my brother's rehearsal dinner then of course up this morning at 5, then 7:30 for the day. She's been a terror bc she's too exhausted to function. Tonight the wedding starts at 6pm so we likely won't be home until midnight or later. It took me an hour to get her down for a nap and I'm just praying it lasts longer than 30 minutes.
I'm already sick of being pregnant and have decided we are only having two children. I hate feeling so nauseated and exhausted all the freakin time. I am a shitty parent to Matilda right now. I don't want to do it !!!!
We are driving back from a week on the Cape. E is super over tired, the weather was cold/overcast 90% of the week, and we were vacationing with our best friends and their kids (we have vacationed with them before) and early in the week we got in a huge fight that marred the rest of the trip.
luke had a bad reaction last night to either- avocado or the cherries from our tree out front. Now I need to plan to put avocado on his skin to double check sometime soon. His eye got all puffy and red and of course I had anxiety waiting for more symptoms of anaphylactic reactions.
then he was up from 5-6 just talking to himself but since he coughed a few times I stayed up and watched the monitor making sure he could breathe.

Does he have a latex allergy? Latex and avocados are somehow related, right ...?

Latex and avocados and bananas are related. As far as I know he's not allergic. He did react once before to avocado -eczema flare up- but now I thought it must've been egg in breast milk back then He hasn't had much avocado but now I'll watch more carefully. I think he just likes to stress me out
Calista only took a 50 minute nap, she is on the verge of the 2 nap/1 nap timeline. I don't know if I should put her down again. We have a party at 3:00.
My damn dog has diarrhea and threw up this morning. I have him quarantined in the kitchen and he keeps whining and barking. I just let him out, he has water and he is by his bed. Shut up, Lydia is sleeping.
I now have a headache from I don't know what.
Now Calista took a nasty poop, which means she will start playing good. As soon as I change her diaper she won't play anymore.
Ugh. May is cutting a tooth and she is being sooooo soooo annoying. Crying and screaming about everything and insisting on watching tv. I am actually glad I have to go to work tonight. And that makes me feel guilty. Is it too early for a drink?
I feel like crap. I just want a night in my bed by myself to sleep. I'm over cosleeping right now, but still have not made it to Ikea to buy her a new bed because I have to buy Linz one too. Well, at least a new mattress. Blarg.
And hugs to everyone who is having a much shitter day then I am!
I am having such guilt over the last two days I spent with my nephew. All I ever see is him getting yelled by my sister and her husband. I decided beforehand that these two days I was spending with him would be fun for him. However, his behavior was so bad. It was like I was dealing with Dylan in an adult body. He would continue to do things after I told him over and over again to stop. He made it very well known his contempt for the city. All he wanted to eat was junk food and was pissed I would not provide it for him. He was outwardly rude to people at the football game. To top it all off, we went to get gas and the gas attendant had to go inside to get a receipt because the one at the pump was broken. Because the guy took my credit card with him, my nephew was convinced he was stealing my number and was very angry about. He proceeded to say that he didn't trust those people and when I asked 'who, gas station attendants?", he said no, "Indians". After I picked up my jaw up off the floor, I gave him a stern talking to about racism. My sister came and picked him up this morning and i felt relief. Now I just feel shitty ass guilt.The kid had a pretty crappy upbringing with a verbally abusive father and my sister who let him do whatever the hell he wanted. Now my sister just yells at him all the time and his step-father is very strict. I know he isn't getting what he needs and I know a weekend with me wasn't going to fix his behavior but I just wanted him and I to have a good time. That blew up in my face.
Don't feel badly! I can't tell you that he and Dylan seemed to be having a blast at the Children's Museum!
AAAAAGH... I'm waiting for someone to place an order so I can close this fucking party. She was going to come over Friday. No show. She was going to come over today. No show. She told me she just placed it online. Not seeing it. If anyone's credit card gets declined because I effed up I'm losing the sale because it's 11:15 at night. I'm so ragey right now. I asked her to call me... she still has not. I'm not waiting for people anymore.
