H and I are going to meet with a credit counselor at our bank tomorrow to see about starting the process of home buying. We also spoke with our landlord and convinced him to renew our lease at 6 months instead of a year. I am a nervous wreck.
Work has been insane lately, I'm putting in a ton of overtime, and all of the fall sports, back to school events, etc. are in full swing. We are BUSY and I am tired.
My mom asked me this morning to take custody of my nieces from her. She is really struggling a lot with her MS and it is getting too hard for her to do it. My sister does not seem to have any intention of getting clean and taking her kids back. I feel awful and so ridiculously guilty but I just don't think it's possible. H and I have 4 kids in a 3 bedroom townhouse. We are working 2 jobs each. And we are never home as it is. I just don't see how I could add another 2 kids to that mix. I'm afraid they're going to end up in foster care if I don't though because no one else in the family is stepping up to help. I don't know what to do.
My boss gave me the day off because I was in bad shape yesterday, lol. I slept better last night than I have in a month Today I am going to do small odds and ends that I can do from the coach/chair and then write my thank yous from my showers.
My dad is having surgery later, so I might accompany my mom in the waiting room at the hospital.

I just booked my first ultrasound for next Wednesday at 10:30. I did decide to go ahead with the prenatal screening. Only 8 more sleeps until I get to see the baby!
Day three of eating detox is really helping. I had so much energy yesterday. After work, I was able to do a full 60 min workout and get about 4 hours worth of costuming complete. After this show on the 20th I will have enough money put aside to hire the lawyer and get everything started.
I lost hearing in my left year around noon yesterday and it hasn't returned. I've had a cold for 8 days now and nothing seems to be working. I'm thinking I should probably go see the Dr soon.
If you truly had a sudden hearing loss, go to an ENT ASAP. Treatment as soon as possible to when the loss occurred increases the chance of recovering the hearing.
I don't know if I could take that. I chased one all over the garage the other day because if it got into the house, I would go nuts in about three hours.
I'm really happy that black nail polish is mainstream now because I like it but I'm am, in no way, alternative.
I kind of am, I guess?, but I just think my nails look better with dark colors on them. I painted my fingernails and toes black the other day and it makes me happy.
This could just be the residual NyQuil talking, but I woke up to 15 notifications of people liking my posts and it made me feel good, especially considering how shitty I've been feeling about myself lately. Lame thing to feel good about, but I'll take what I can get.

I think it's from blockage. It's not 100% deaf. Just very muffled and I have to turn my head to hear sometimes. I am going to call my Dr today. I might just need to do the peroxide in the ear thing. How does that work? Do you just dump a little bit of peroxide in your ear and leave it in there.
I've officially been exclusively pumping for 8 weeks. I thought if I could make it through maternity leave, it would be easier once I go back to work. Now I'm realizing I'll already have less time with DS, and I'll have to pump at least twice during my precious time with him.
So now I REALLY just want to go ahead and quit now, so I can enjoy the rest of my maternity leave with my baby and pain-free nipples!
Way to go!!! EPing is really hard. Do you have a hands free pumping bra? Those are really handy so you can pump and play at the same time.
If you decide to stop, you did a kick ass job and should be super proud of yourself!
I do have a hands free bra, but my son rreeeaaaallly likes to snuggle right now, and I hate putting him down to pump. Who knows how much longer he will be like this, you know?
I know that I'm a good mom even if I quit, but my goal was 6 months at least. I just can't decide what's best. I wish someone would just decide for me.

You think its from your cold? The peroxide helps if I have water in my ear but I have a cold now that's blocking my ears and I don't think peroxide would help that. I'm using Sudafed pressure + pain. The regular sudafed doesn't work for me it has to be pressure + pain and it helps with all the head cold stuff (for me anyway).

I didn't mean to label you! Black nail polish is the great equalizer.

It may or may not be blocked, but this should be seen by a specialist in case it is not wax. Debrox drops can clear wax at home, but I seriously wouldn't mess around with a sudden loss.
Tuesday is one of the days we take our dog for doggy daycare and today was the first time I took her since vacation. I was worried she wouldn't be excited because the last time I dropped her off it was for boarding. She hopped right out of the car and ran to the door. It made me happy that she was still happy to go.
I know how lame all of that sounds because she is a dog and I don't know what I'm going to do about leaving kids when we have them.
Its been more than 1.5 years since my girl has been to doggie daycare but if I say "daycare for dogs" to her she will get all happy and dance about.
lol honestly I wouldn't even know what to label myself anyway, other than weirdo, so its cool. I think because I'm fairly pale the dark colors just look better on me. Light colors always make me look jaundiced or sickly.

I'm sure its from my cold. I hadn't heard of Sudafed pressure + pain. I'll go to store after work and see if I can find it. I have to make sure it doesn't contain caffeine. I think if I can just get rid of this nose congestion/blockage crap it will go away. I'm just concerned that I've had these symptoms for 9 days now and they are a little better, but not much. I don't want it to turn into some kind of infection.

If what you posted is lame then I am your Queen.
She gets all excited if you ask her if she wants to go on a car ride and starts following us around. She loves going and I love that it wears her out, but when we tell people she goes to doggy daycare some of them look at us funny.
My older DD has been throwing the most epic tantrums lately. I'm guessing it's because of all the recent changes - starting 4k, being around new kids, and some other things. I'm just so beyond stressed out. It's my exh's weekend with the kids and I am so looking forward to having some quiet alone time to do whatever the hell I want. I absolutely need it.

I'm so sorry. I thought at one time I was going to be faced with a similar decision, though it didn't happen. I hope you're able to come up with a solution that works for everyone.
My coworker who sits next to me doesn't shut the hell up. I have my ipod in. Most people would take that as a sign to leave me alone.
Nope, she's now shaking my chair when she wants to talk to me.
Next time she shakes your chair, scream and flail (preferably hitting her in the mouth) then drop to the floor and hide under your desk. Say you thought it was an earthquake.
