It looks like winter outside today. We're supposed to have a lot of wind today, so I don't think what leaves are left are going to make it through the end of the day.
I need to talk H into buying a new tv stand. My little sister is moving and needs one, which ours would be a good size for her tv. The problem is we're buying an ipad for Christmas, so I need to talk him into spending even more money. It will take a while, but I'm pretty sure I can do it.

I got one of my term papers back yesterday and got an A . Now I just need to get the one I was more worried about back and I can relax.
What do I do about whining and screaming? Because OMG I think it's going to kill me. She wakes up and screams/whines, screams/whines when doesn't get her way, screams/whines at meal times, etc. This morning I was woken up by her standing at her door screaming at the top of her lungs. I'm so so over it.
H and I made up and had a good discussion. He apologized for being an asshole and we have a good plan for housework, which is much more equal then before. Hopefully it lasts.
I have been looking for a fall/winter bag for months and I found a GORGEOUS one, but it's $900, and that's just not gonna happen lol.
I'm really crabby today. I think it's because I went to bed grumpy, which I know is a bad idea.
I just want to sit alone and watch TV today and eat junk food. But I have a dentist appointment and H won't be home until late. So, not gonna happen. :*(
I'm sitting at the hospital waiting for my bf to get a myelogram and another CT scan. He's going to have another back surgery in December, it'll be his second in 6 months. My freaking coworker yesterday told me that her myelograms were the most painful things ever, and was super dramatic about it so now I'm anxious that it's going to really suck for him. Did she really need to be that dramatic about it like that? A simple "yeah..it's not fun" would have sufficed.
On the bright side, we're both off the rest of the day and it's cold outside, so we can spend the afternoon lazing around next to the fire watching movies.
Easier as in waking up or easier as in ease of feeding?
I thought getting up in the night did get easier. My body was used to it and then both boys were nice to me and started stretching out their sleep. So only getting up once or twice a night wasn't a big deal.
Both maybe? I'm so tired, and it's so hard to get up at midnight, 2:30, 4:30, etc. and have to change him and nurse him.
Can YH change him and bring him to you? That's what mine did until W started sleeping more through the night. He would get him, change him, and then I would nurse him while H fell back asleep. Then either I would put W back down or, if I was really tired, I would wake H and have him do it. Not having to spend that extra energy to get out of bed was crucial for me in the beginning.

I got a speeding ticket yesterday, my first one in forever! I'm pissed at myself! I was driving my mothers car, we were talking and just not paying attention. She is the one who normally says "slow down!" but neither of us realized how fast I was going (79 in a 65). I really thought that cop was going to give me a warning too, but nope, I got a ticket.
H and I made up and had a good discussion. He apologized for being an asshole and we have a good plan for housework, which is much more equal then before. Hopefully it lasts.
This is great news. I hope the new arrangement works out well.
I slept like crap last night. My body is so sore all over from working out and I really needed a good night of sleep. Then I woke up early and I can't get back to sleep. I'm kind of dreading today. I don't want to go into work and I don't feeling like dealing with all the office bs today. I need a donut.

Oh, and there is someone on my FB complaining about the education system in America. Admittedly, I can agree it needs A LOT of work. However, he is saying that it's this way because America has fallen away from it's Judeo Christian roots. America has never been a Christian nation, the founding fathers were not Christian and did not base the Constitution off of it. This statement drives me INSANE.
I'm having a reoccurring dream where I realize I've been living in London and we need to return to the US now. Not only have I not showered, I discover that I own all the furniture in the apartment and it needs to go home with me. Cue the stress,because I don't know how to transfer it back safely and in so little time.
H just sent me a text saying his boss gave him two tickets to see the Spurs next Wednesday with a parking pass. H said that if we couldn't make the game next week, we could do the one after that. His boss is seriously the best. This was totally unexpected. He said it was because H took on extra projects around the shop (like building a table to tear down transmissions and fixing random stuff and all that) and he wanted to show he appreciated all his hard work. I am seriously the proudest wife in right now. He's such a great guy and I'm excited for my first NBA game.
We still haven't heard a word from my FIL. No one has even been on his island yet from what we've heard. In order to get there you have to take a boat after flying through the airport, which has been greatly damaged. I just wish we knew something. He hasn't even met his grandbaby yet
ETA: Oh my gosh. I literally just got word that someone got in touch with my FIL. He's OK. Holy shit, talk about relief. Of course my H's phone is dead. Thank you Jalapeñomel and calamity for the good thoughts - you had some seriously good juju for the last 10 minutes apparently!
One of my FB friends posted pictures of her nursery...she framed and is displaying a naked pregnant picture of herself (with her husband covering her boobs) in her daughter's room. Ew and weird, dude.
I've been thinking about him in a non-creepy way all weekend! I'm so glad he's ok!
About 90% of the people in my office (including all the bosses) are OOT for a meeting this week. It's so quiet in here. I think I'll spend most of my days car and clothes shopping online. Ok, not most of my days, but a lot of my days.
I really needed to clean my house this weekend. I had a 4 day weekend and plenty of time to get it done. But instead, I spent the hours my kids were awake hanging out with them, and K's nap times taking naps too or surfing the internet instead. Guess I'll have to clean after K goes to bed tonight. Or I might head home early and try to get it done. I hate cleaning.
Today is my first day back after being on a peaceful ranch in Texas all last week. I missed the dogs SO MUCH but am anxious about some changes that happened while I was gone.
A bunch (40ish) of cars were broken into in our parking garage last night. There are some really nice cars down there and then there's my beat up '03 Saturn with the bumper being held together with duct tape. My drivers side window is shattered and doesn't look like they took anything, just went through things. It's just such so stupid-I'm totally unable to understand why people are assholes and think they're entitled to do things like this.

The car seat post struck a chord: Do they not make car seats that you can actually put your kid in while said kid is wearing a coat? The vast majority of us carseat owners have winter. This makes no sense to me.

I have tried this with DH, but I fall asleep while nursing, so getting up to change him wakes me up enough to get through a feeding. I think I may just pump enough for one bottle a day and make one of the MOTN feedings a bottle feeding instead of the breast.

I don't know how moms outside of GBCML would know to do this? I would've never thought that it wouldn't be safe to put a child in a carseat with a coat.
I got almost no sleep. I just want to get the out of my head. The good news is that I good a moving quote this morning, from this really sweet older lady, and she was pushing them to give me the best deal.

It's all about figuring out what works for you. Hang in there, it will get better.

This is what I did. I would make a bottle out of refridgerated milk and have it ready by where I would feed them. By the time I fed them, it would be at room temp.

I have lots of moms that post links to articles on fb about this every winter. They are finally starting to make coats that you can use with car seats, i.e. they unzip on the sides so you can still put the car seat straps directly on your kid instead of over the coat and then zip the sides back up so they still have a coat on.
