- Andrew added another word to his repertoire over the holiday weekend. It's mostly just repeating, but he definitely knows what it means. This makes my "decision" to maybe take a break after these upcoming evaluations a little easier. He's making progress in leaps and bounds. He's still not where he needs to be, but I think we're getting there in our own time.
- We were supposed to go to a concert on Friday night, but we sold the tickets and rescheduled the babysitter for Saturday instead. We decided we'd rather go out and watch the SEC Championships at a bar with friends. I'd rather go to the game, since it's about five miles from my house, but tickets are starting at over $300 each.
- It's cold and rainy today. I'm contemplating busting out the Christmas decorations. It makes me sad to do it without DH, but he's working this week. Even though he's in town, he'll be gone from 8am-11pm every day. I'd rather not wait until next week to decorate.

We are going to put the tree up today. MH works about the same (he did 45 hours in 3 days), and it's his only day off all week.
We are also going to go see Santa today. This oughta be good.
I'm not sure if it's the therapy or if he's just doing it on his own, but he's doing great! His newest word? Circle. He won't say any of the easy words like mama or dada. Nope, he busts out tickle and circle. He'll grab a crayon and his notepad, draw a circle, point to it, and say circle, clear as day. I'm so proud, I'm about to burst.

He can DRAW a circle? Holy crap, kid! That's so awesome!!! Go A!!!!!
Ha! I didn't realize that drawing a circle was an impressive skill, so I apologize for the unintentional AW. He's pretty darn good with a crayon. He also loves to trace and does fairly well with it. I'm not really surprised, since both of his parents have a background in art.

This is awesome news, aw away! Lillian just started drawing lines rather than just dots and I couldn't be happier
She has also picked up with repeating words back - she says doggie and kitty which you can actually understand.
Ugh, I have 13 phone interviews scheduled today and 8 tomorrow. I may not be supporting this project anymore and I couldn't be happier. I should find out today.
Lil stayed home today, she has HFM. It started on Saturday but it's a very mild case. No fever, about 1 dozen red dots total on feet and hands, the mouth ones disappeared after 24 hours. DC said she could come in as long as she has been fever free for 24 hours and no oozing blisters. I had H stay home to watch her. It's not so great doing phone interviews with a yelling child in the background.
We had a little milestone today at breakfast. A successfully used a fork for his entire breakfast! He has been not great at using utensils. He always turns his spoon before it gets to his mouth. He ate 2 pancakes completely on his own!
I'm feeling like a pretty big pile of crap today. H decided to tell me all of the things I've been sucking at lately, and how selfish I'm being and now I'm just sad. We were supposed to go to my mom's for dinner yesterday, but I didn't feel like being fake happy, and Owen took a short nap and needed a bath, so we didn't go, which makes me more sad.
Some of the stuff H said is true and things I need to work on, but others I think he's being too harsh and hypocritical, but if I said that stuff yesterday I would have just been being bitchy. And now I'm crying at work. Merry fucking Christmas.

I still haven't gotten the results of the ultrasound I had on November 15th because of the bleeding. I'm livid. I am seeing the OB for the first time today (yes at almost 16 weeks) and I'm going to ask for my results and then tell her I'm changing providers. Luckily the bleeding has stopped and I'm able to hear the HB on the doppler so I'm not too worried, but a phone call with results would have been nice.
It snowed all day yesterday so the plows were out at like 3am and woke us all up, I'm tired.
I ate a box of KD and drank a can of coke for breakfast.
Matilda put a baby doll down her front and walked around with it.
She has a cough and has been waking up coughing. Last night I had to sing to her for a long time in the MOTN. She's still going to daycare because she has no other symptoms, no fever etc. I don't know if this is flameworthy. But whatever. I have perhaps 2 days left to use and it could turn into "real sick" and then I'll need them so we're just sending her as long as they'll take her.
I defrosted a package of ground beef yesterday to make chili. It was grass fed from september, I think WF was having a sale on it. Anyway it smelled weird so after agonizing a while I threw it out. Then defrosted another package (same stuff) and it also smelled weird! aaaah. So I had to make turkey chili and threw out $20 worth of ground beef. This makes me ragey. I'm thinking of emailing to complain but is there any point..

Breakfast of Champions!! I picked up some KD yesterday. I'm excited to make it.

Hugs! I am sorry.
I kind of want to know more about how this went down. Did he just start a list of how selfish you are? Because that is not cool. I know my DH could make a list a mile long about how lazy I am and how selfish I can be, but I could about him too. We try to focus on the good things we do, instead of the crap we don't do. This makes me a bit mad at your DH! I am sorry you are upset, I hope your day/week gets way better!!

GO ANDREW!!!! He's got some skills!
We did our Christmas card photo shoot yesterday and the pictures came out pretty awesome despite her being a cranky pants. I ordered them from Minted last night and they should be here in a few days. YAY! I cant wait to show them to you guys!
I cant stop shopping for gifts for M. She already has SO MUCH STUFF. I keep seeing stuff on sale and going "OOOOH! She would LOVE that". DH might kill me.

WTH...I just checked FB and there was a comment from MIL on a video that I tagged DH in of D's first steps. The video was posted in JUNE. The comment was "And on my Birthday, makes her Memaw so proud!".
SHUT UP.
Weirdo. It means she was on DH's page scrolling through and reading everything.

Today was the worst dc drop off yet. She was screaming and crying and yelling, "mommy!!!" I tried to leave 5 times before finally just leaving her like that bc I HAD to go. This friggin sucks.
laurack, V has had a cough for weeks. You can't keep them home for everything, ya know? And the same exact thing happened to me with met from TJs. I was so pissed.

In short: He didn't just come out and tell me I sucked, a lot of things just compounded and when I finally got him to talk to me he basically called me selfish and unloaded.
In not short: This weekend I was super busy. Thursday night I had a work thing so he had to pick up Owen and do dinner/bedtime on his own. Friday night I went out after Owen was in bed, and Saturday I had another girls night thing. On Saturday he had to go do sidejob work at our friends place, and it took WAY longer than he thought, so he was very late leaving, so I was very late leaving and I was pissed. Then he was pissed that I was pissed. I apologized because I realized i was being petty, and he pretty well blew if off, which is pretty much where it all started.
I took the car (with our only car seat) when I went out on Saturday (was leaving near bedtime and coming back in the morning) but apparently I left "no food at all" in the house. H was really bitchy and snippy with me when I got back on Sunday and was just being generally not nice to me. We were supposed to go to my moms for dinner, but we very obviously needed to get groceries first, which I was going to do while Owen was napping (but "no, we can all go together after") so once Owen was up we all hung out for a bit, got Owen a snack and eventually headed up to get dressed (Owen and I were still in pj's/comfy clothes). H had his bloody fucking headphones in listening to music while we were all together getting ready. Except instead of helping me deal with Owen he was putzing around, randomly tidying. I HATE IT when he's got headphones in when we're home and all together. I'm pretty sure he's well aware of this, so when he asked me why I was "giving him a look" and I told him, he got pissed at me.
Eventually I asked him enough times what was wrong and why he was so upset with me that he told me. He said I was being selfish a lot lately, and spending too much money on stupid things (I bough Owen a little robo-fish thingy among other things). He was really mad that I left them with "no food and no way to get anywhere" (even though I asked if it would be find to take the car, we live 1/4 mi from Walmart in one direction and 1/4 mile from a grocery store in the other, and there was bread, eggs, fish fillets, fries and some other stuff) and then he was upset that I'd left the kitchen messy because "I took all of Wednesday off and cleaned" (which I will admit I did leave kinda messy, but I was hungover a bit and prioritized napping over cleaning.
Anyway, i'm totally rambling, but essentially I'm selfish, I spend too much money, and I'm a slob. I don't even know how to respond to him. I know there are things I can do better, but I feel like he was too harsh. We are terrible at communicating but he never seems to want to do anything differently.

Please don't be so hard on yourself. None of what you said makes you sound selfish to me, it really just sounds like some miscommunication between you and DH. As in, if he wanted the car he should have said he wanted the car, not gotten mad at you after the fact. (Too bad you don't have all the awesome food delivery that those NYers have!)

Thanks. I can probably count on my hands, if not just one hand, the number of times I've been out by myself with friends since Owen was born, yet H gets to go to eleventy billion baseball games.
Ugh, he just called and is now acting like nothing is wrong. Emotions, I hates them.
