I threw some apples, sugar and cinnamon in the crockpot last night. Woke up this morning to the most ahh-mazing apple butter. I must.make.more. I'm thinking of using it for Christmas gifts. Would you enjoy a basket of assorted jellies, jams and fruit butters as a Christmas gift?
Looks like I'll only have about 30% of my normal Christmas list to buy this year anyway. I've been officially uninvited to my family's Christmas festivities, lol.
I am in a foul mood today. My h constantly comes home sick, because apparently he has the immune system of an infant, then he gets everyone else sick the day of or before he leaves. Last night I was up every half a fucking hour dealing with sick kids, and where is he? 1000 miles away, just snoozing away peacefully. So mad.
And of course Sofia decided that from 3-4 am would be the perfect time to tell me all about how dark it is outside and how she can't find the moon. "Where is it? Where's the moon? oh no, I don't seeeeee it!!" For an hour.
And I have so much to do. I have a window treatment consultation today, plus grocery shopping, tomorrow I have the washer/dryer delivery and installation, Friday more decorator people coming. I'm so exhausted. Oh, and the icing on the cake is that Theo just flat out refuses to nurse, so I'm stuck in between wanting to just say fuck it, and wanting to stick it out just a little longer, even though every feeding is a complete shit show until I shove a bottle in his mouth. Ugh.
My insurance claims are being denied due to: D39 - DIAGNOSIS SEX CONFLICT
I think it means that they have me listed as a male instead of female, but apparently the problem isn't that easy to solve, because I've been on hold for 30 minutes already, and I anticipate being on hold for at least 30 minutes more.
I'm ordering some Tastefully Simple GF products from a coworker - anyone try this stuff before? I want to try some of the spices and such, but I have no idea what products are OK for me to eat besides the ones that are clearly labeled.
My poor boo has had a stuffy nose the past few days. His room is really dry, but it seems to get worse with the humidifier. I bought a Nose Frida Snot Sucker on Amazon and some saline spray, so hopefully that helps.
I want to break B of his night feeding, but I don't know if he's ready to go that long without eating and his next doctor appointment isn't until November. He usually sleeps from about 8:30-6:30 with a feeding around 3 or 4. So 10 hours? Bah, I don't know.
I generally like Tastefully Simple products. I do know that the GF stuff is all new. The prices are a little high for foodstuffs, but I have a very good friend who sells it so I don't mind spending a little more to support her business.
I love the garlic garlic. I use that one a lot. I also just recently tried the spinach dip mix, but used it with chicken in the crockpot instead of making a dip with it. It was yummy! I also like the roasted garlic olive oil. Of course, I don't know if any of those are GF, but I would ask your consultant, s/he should know.
Tomorrow is W's last day at his daycare before we close on the house and move, and I am SO sad. I love his teachers, I love how comfortable he is there and how much he's learned, so tomorrow is going to be really hard on me. Moving is going to make life better for us in so many ways, and I know his new school will be just as good (I hope), but right now---ugh.

Last week I found out my iron was really low and I needed to take iron pills. I feel so much better, it's crazy. I have engergy, I'm not dizzy anymore or nauseous.
we've been living cable-free for about two years now and last night i discovered that i can use my father's account information to watch tv online. pure bliss.
I'm so tired of working on my house. My cabinets are almost done but jesus, it's a lot of work. I still have to paint the bathroom and David's room, then David's bed H is making. Ugh! And it has to be done this month. And H is traveling this week. I hate my life right now, lol.
H gets colds so easily and he fucking passed this one on to me. I am so irritated right now. He has gotten to lay around and be lazy through his whole cold. I worked a 10 hour day yesterday, got home all tired and hungry, and he starts complaining to me about how he still doesn't feel great. Rage!
I want to go to lifting club tonight, but I don't think I feel well enough for it. I've missed the last several weeks because of work. I finally have a day when I can make it and I'm too sick. Fml.
I'm still boycotting work...kind of. I told my boss yesterday that when the girl who was out with sick kids (her kids are 14 and 16 and the 16 year old is pregnant) for the last two days and is out for work today gets back tomorrow, she gets to do her job, my job, and the front desk job that I'm currently covering for because that's what I've been doing for the last three days. I'm over it.
We are under a winter storm watch for Thursday night into Friday. *insert sarcasm* YAY! This is why I hate Wyoming....we go from 70* to 5 inches of snow in .25 seconds. Fall does not exist here. And if I miss the leaves turning up by the cabin because of the physco weather this year, I'm going to be pissed.
I am so steamed this morning. 2 of my clients, who were supposed to send in their agreements, did not yesterday. So I will not make my typical commissions this month. Which is great, because we haven't been spending insane amounts of money since moving! HA HA HA! I had a mini-meltdown this morning and now I have a serious case of "fuck it all."

I need H to get this job. After living in the same neighborhood as my family again, I realize a couple of hours of distance from them is necessary for my sanity.
I've done pretty much no work today and don't feel bad about it at all. We're all still recovering from our festival last weekend, so I'm enjoying the quiet.
namasteak- I'll have to let my H know that he has new videos up. He used to check his site for new videos like every week.

Today's my anniversary too. Three years. I completely forgot. I was reminded when H gave me his "gift" - a chair that he stole from his volunteering place. ........yeah. So now I gotta get him something to celebrate something that shouldn't be celebrated anymore.
My boobs are so depressing right now. I have a lot of sympathy for the Sarah Jessica Parker picture that went around awhile ago where everyone laughed at her and called her pancake boob or whatever. Cause yea, that's where I'm at. Pancakes.
My boobs have grown so much I am scared of this =(
Also I found some stretch marks this morning but they are purple and weird and right in the center of my belly.
My boobs grew amazingly during the week I had milk. They were kind of ridiculously large but now I feel like they are deflated and sad and I didn't even nurse I can't wait to get new bras.
I didn't get any stretch marks until L was born and they are purple and right in the middle too. Apparently Bio Oil helps reduce stretch marks so I'm trying that.
I'm so tired of working on my house. My cabinets are almost done but jesus, it's a lot of work. I still have to paint the bathroom and David's room, then David's bed H is making. Ugh! And it has to be done this month. And H is traveling this week. I hate my life right now, lol.
I am so anxious to see before and afters! But sorry your life sucks.
