My 30th birthday is tomorrow. Dh has a work conference Saturday morning and a free hotel room at the Marriott. We were going to go up and drag ds2 to the Casino for a fun evening and send ds1 to ILs. Instead last night dh got an email that they now have to attend an event Friday night from 6-9. Since it takes 2hrs to drive to the city, and Mil won't be taking ds1 until 3:30pm, I've decided that rather than drive all that way to sit alone in a hotel room with a baby until said baby's bedtime, pay $22+tax for parking and go home alone in the morning, I'm just going to stay home
Pity party of one. I'm going to buy myself sushi take out to try to compensate for the disappointment.
I've bought 8 groupons/living socials in the last week after not having been tempted for months. I'm not entirely sure what I've got (xmas cards, mani, paint your own pottery place...) but I guess it means fun for me!
ETA: Happy Birthday gibbinator! Treat yourself to the $$ sushi! (gift)
Ohhhh glitzy07 I hate when DH does that. If I'm asleep? Hands off.
I FINALLY have a cleaning person scheduled. It was a ton of trouble, but hopefully things will go more smoothly from here. This has given me the swift kick I needed to throw random crap out-5 large diaper boxes of clothing went to Goodwill last week and I've thrown out an absurd amount of crap since then. It's embarrassing how much crap we had-and I feel much better now.
We are paying a ridiculous amount of money to have a tree removed this morning. I certainly hope the guy DH hired knows what he's doing. It's a big tree in a tight spot, right next to the house.

Last time H was bitching about doing trash I said I would do it this week. Of course we have a shitload of recycling to drag to the curb, our driveway is long and it's a monsoon out there. JOKE'S ON ME!
H never remembers anything he talks about in his sleep/just awake faze. (Like me telling him bye when I leave for work or having any conversation in the morning.) He gets mad at me sometimes and talks to me like I'm one of his employees and can be mean.
It's annoying. He says he shouldn't be held accountable for anything he says. I spend the day pissy at him and then he's mad I'm mad. It's worse now when my hormones are still out of whack.
We had a good night last night sitting on the couch listening to the best of the 90's for a few hours.
Dealing with toddler jet lag sucks! I was up with DD for at least an hour last night because she wanted to play. Today she is back at daycare and I took a nap...it was glorious. Now to go pick her up, I am dreading the 20 minute walk there as I am still tired. I hope she doesn't repeat it. Days like today make me rethink having a second...I can't take multiple night wake ups anymore.
I was off from work for the past 3 days (plus the weekend, so 5 day weekend!). It just reaffirmed how much I hate my job.
I'd like to stay home, but it's just not in the cards, so... And my current set up at work it just terrible. I've been here 1hr16min and I'm already counting down to the weekend.
One of my coworkers just told me that his wife is a sahm because daycare doesn't teach kids anything. I mean, lol forever. I'm not even mad, because it was such an asinine and untrue statement.
That is crazy. I am sure a DC would teach my LO a lot more than me.
My husband is lucky he is alive this morning. He woke me up from a dead sleep last night because he was trying to get some. WTAF, dude!?
Me too. AFTER I had already told him how especially exhausted I was yesterday. And then I was woken up all night by different shit and Im exhausted again today. Baby only naps longer than a half hour if she's out in her stroller or carseat... So I can't really nap when she does.
At M's drop off one of the grandfathers told me I needed better lights on my bike, and then offered to bring me one. He is a gruff grumbly guy, but I know he likes that I ride with my kids, so I took his comments as he meant them, kind and supportive, instead of being offended.
Also, the other morning one of the parents at A's school had a duck on the front seat of her van.

Daycare at least teaches DD the correct animal noises. God only knows what DH and I would come up with left to our own devices with her full-time. lol
DH has been taken off of "Teaching Animal Sounds" duty.
This is after repeated 'lessons' that the rabbit says "ribbit" and that the turtle makes clicking noises.
glitzy07, I'm pretty sure J spends large parts of my Saturday afternoon naps staring at me looking for signs that I'm awake so he can commence with trying to get some, because I tell him it ain't happening until I get a nap. Because as soon as I start stirring, he's all over me (because AJ is also napping).
Speaking of AJ, he doesn't do "more" a ton but milk is his sign of choice. Every time he wants his cup he says "cuppacuppacuppacuppacup" and signs milk frantically until you hand him the cup. If he really wants it he signs with both hands. It's so cute

Have you tried moving back her bedtime by three hours and then slowly moving it up each night? That is what we do when we travel.
We are starting sleep training and moving DD to her crib tonight. Honestly, it's a tad bittersweet, I've kind of enjoyed bedsharing with her for the last few months but it's time. No one in either of our families is willing to watch her at bedtime or overnight because of her sleeping situation and I'm tired of being the only one who can get her to go to bed.
I have my bottle of wine ready and a few DVR'd shows set to go. What else do I need? LOL
What does a rabbit say?? Oh and let's add giraffe and hippo in there.
When my friend's kid was little (he is now 13 and would be mad at me for sharing) he would make exaggerated chewing sounds for the giraffe. It was really cute, so it is what I taught my kids.
Being able to order online from Panera is a slippery slope, as evidenced by the stack of napkins sitting on my home desk. I only work from home 2 days a week.
