I had the craziest dream last night, I must have been thinking about Scandal bc I was the presidents mistress and I was pregnant but then he decided he was done with me and I had to hide in his suite? And then I thought I was going into labor? And I had to hide from the press. Lol
jreeds I get why you are bummed, but try to keep your chin up. Kids go through different phases and learn things at their own rate. Just talk about it, discipline, and then move on. Parenting is hard, so take it easy on yourself!
Thanks, I'm working on it. I talked about it with her this morning when I got her up for school and she seems remorseful. I don't think last night she fully got how much she could have upset her brother if he understood what she was saying. Hopefully she learns from this and move on from there.

I'm hoping beyond hope to get a job offer today. Or at least by the end of the week - but today would be great. They emailed me yesterday for my supervisor's name and extension (it's an internal position) and I'm on pins and needles.
The waiting sucks but it'll all be worth it if the offer comes through.

Wtf? I let the dogs out in the back yard to do their business this morning and went inside to make coffee. I was in the kitchen and I heard Cali barking from the front of the house, so I checked it out and sure enough she was standing in the driveway barking her head off at people walking their dogs. Our yard is completely gated off. We have 2 6' gates on each side of the house, and a 6' fence around the back, so I have NO idea how she escaped. None. She's massive, so it's not as if she can easily sneak through places. Then I started panicking that Toro escaped, but he was just standing out back. I'm truly stunned and I just have no idea how she escaped.

I'm so irritated at my H - he's basically an inept moron when it comes to anything power tool related. And it's not stuff like 'oh I've never seen this so I have no idea how to work it'... it's things like the stupid electric hedge trimmers that he keeps cutting the damn extension cords that power it. He says 'oh it just got in the way' - well figure out a way to keep that from happening since you've cut 3 extension cords just this summer alone! It's not that fucking hard (I would be out there doing it, but a) see ticker and b) then I'd be doing ALL THE FUCKING WORK except picking up poop, mowing and taking out the damn trash).
I've had many nights of strange/bad dreams. I'm over it.
I'm also over this heat. I've been trying to just roll with it, but last night I was just pissed.
I started meal planning based upon my "simplify your life" post last week and I'm very excited about it. I'm two weeks ahead and I'm going to try to keep it that way.

I lifted this morning and have field hockey training so I had chocolate. Only 50 grams so not a huge bar or anything. But lovely, lovely chocolate. This is why I love working out!
If no one else in my house gets sick, it will be a damn miracle. H told me last night that in the 7 years we have been together, he doesn't think he has ever seen me this sick. I don't ever get sick. And while I still don't feel awesome, I feel a million times better than I have in the last 4 days.
I have a pretty busy day ahead of me so I'm not sure why I'm still here. I just love you bitches...I can't quit you.

My coworker gave me this gift yesterday. I love it but I'm not sure what to do with it. It would be weird to use at work as patients see everything on my desk. At home, my girls would read it and have all kinds of fun questions.
Day one of H working at home was a success. I don't think it's going to be as rough as we initially thought, I just have to get the kids out of the house for a few hours everyday, which I would do normally anyway.
Vivi is making eye contact and lifting her head a bit to look at us- it's so sweet! I keep asking H if he's done. I know deep down that two kids is probably as much as we can handle financially, but we're so young to be done! I'm afraid I'll wake up at 35 and be really sad that all my baby years are over already. On the upside, both of our kids will be out of high school when I'm 46.
I know you are deep in baby love right now. Enjoy
We were/are also young to be done. But I can not tell you how good it feels to have some freedom back. I really couldn't believe when Leo was a baby that we would be done but now I can't imagine adding another kid because FREEEDOOOOMMMM.
Well if you call freedom parenting a 6 and 2 year old lol. But we just are able to do so much more adult stuff and it makes me feel so much better about life. And I look at my friends going through the baby thing and it just makes me grateful it isn't me. I did love having babies in the house. I am suprised that I love not having babies in the house even more.
This is my "I don't know your lyfe" anecdote.
I know I'll wind up feeling that way eventually. Hell, we were at a point where Ollie was so easy at almost 3 that I was like "What the hell are we doing?!?" while already pregnant. Lol.
It doesn't help that she's the chilliest newborn ever. Talk to me again when she's teething or suddenly hates sleep and I'm sure my baby fever will be gone!

I could do a search, but will you link for me? I'm very intrigued.
