Yesterday was Adam's first day of K, he was boucing off the fucking walls all night long. No...just No. Trying to get him to sit calmly for homework (ugh...homework) was no easy task. Tonight DH shall do homework with him, we will alternate nights and share the pain.
I gave in an bought Adam one of those creepy ass elf on the shelf things, ugh. All weekend my nephew was talking about his and I could tell that Adam was sad and did not understand why he did not get an elf. So DH and I agreed to get him one but not to use it as a spy, because that crap annoys me. So now I need to throw the whole re-locate the creepy elf into my hundreds of things to do each day, lol. This morning he appeared popping out of Adam's stocking, Adam was so excited.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with an elf that doesn't like it! My mIL got us one and she called DH last night and told him he had to send photos everyday of where the elf was hiding. Ummm it's still in the box, oops.
I just cleaned up my computer desktop. I created folders and reduced 3/4 off the icons across my screen. I feel oddly productive because of that. I loathe laundry day. Loathe it. It is literally a two to two and a half hour process. I have to get to Target, but I had no clean clothes to wear there. And, it is threatening to rain, and I hate being out in the rain. Jackson does not understand commercials. If he is watching a show, and a commercial comes on, he jumps up and yells "UH OH!" Then he stands next to me saying I want choo choo (or elmo, or whatever) over and over, like I can make it come back on.
I'm with you TrudyCampbell. I need a husband and Lincoln free vacation before this baby comes. I'm so worn out.
Yes, I never understood how people could want alone time until I became a SAHM. I get excited even when I ride the subway alone to doctors appointments. It's kind of sad! I would love a vacation with just myself.

I know! And H is always saying things like "I wish Lincoln always followed me around, wanted to be held by me, etc." Yes, me too!!! I would love to have some kinda Freaky Friday thing happen and switch bodies with him for a day.
I thought seaworld opened at 10 nope it's 11 although they open the front half at 1030. We've been rocking out in the car for 20 mins having snacks Brady jumping from driver seat to passenger seat (were parked)

Colin stayed completely asleep when I transferred him from the car to his bed after school today. He always at least needs to nurse. This is the first time in 20 months that I've put him down for a nap without nursing. Its liberating and sad all at the same time.
1. My follow-up FSH test came back normal. So the OB has no idea why my period hasn't returned yet, but I'm not in premature ovarian failure. FUCK YEAH!!
2. K and I are staying with my mom at a fancy-pants hotel in Palm Beach for a conference. Right now she's at a massage, he's napping, and I'm drinking a $5 diet coke from the minibar, watching the ocean outside our window, and probing. DOUBLE FUCK YEAH!!!
Does anyone have any tips for giving ibuprofen? I gave her dye free Tylenol last night and it must've been gross bc now she won't let me get near her with meds. The ped said to keep giving meds so the fever doesn't get out of control.

I just used a pizza cutter to cut a pan of bar cookies for a cookie exchange tomorrow. I can't believe in all the years I've been baking, it never occurred to me to use a pizza cutter instead of a knife! I think about all the 9x13 pans I've destroyed with knife gouges over the years and get the sads....
Oh, the city is doing something to the sewer line on my street and they're shutting the water off from 6pm tonight to 7am tomorrow morning. So incredibly inconvenient.

TrudyCampbell and carawestt, it only gets worse, I want to give you both a vacation alone. It's so awful but I want to just book myself a tropical vacation for like a week, and I've never felt like that the way I do now.

Ahh this scares me because you have like the greatest H ever.

Reason 5462569 we need to start our commune. Could you imagine? Rotating days off? Ahhhh. That would be the life.

I think it's just being touched out, you know? A is clingy like L is clingy, and at the end of the day, after breast feeding and having A hang off me, I just want to run away. I know it'll pass. You'll be okay, it's just tough, but having us here to commiserate will help. You won't be judged for saying how drained you are of being a mom!

I totally get it. And then my H gets home and he immediately says "L, go see mama while I do this." No, he's seen mama all day, I'm off now. But as you know, it doesn't work that way. I'm never the off parent.

I understand. It is soul sucking sometimes, lol. Most of the time I was okay with it, but at the end of pregnancy like you're getting to, it does get old. And fast. When there's two, it will have to change. You will have to just hand him one and divide and conquer. I bet he'll end up taking the little one because it's easier, lol. But it'll be okay because you won't have both.
I know it seems intimidating, but truthfully, so far, going from one to two has been easier than zero to one. I have been pleasantly surprised by that. I'm not as scared/nervous as I was with A. I'm a little better at getting out of the house when I need to, because the process is familiar, not overwhelming. You will do beautifully.
That's great to hear! I feel like our situation is very similar so you give me hope! My H has been a lot better lately, he's been handling bed time most nights because Lincoln only wants to sleep on me and won't let me put him down without screaming and clinging to me. I think we'll be fine, I'm just nervous about the unknown.

Today was Colin's last day of school until February and I gave his teachers gifts and one of the cards with the picture I took. I've had three parents call/text me today asking if I could do their family Christmas pictures this weekend. I am shocked and kind of overwhelmed but want to try! I've told them I am just learning but would love to. I am kind of excited but I feel the need to please people so I'm afraid I'll have anxiety over getting the best pictures.
