It's my five year wedding anniversary with DH today! Of course, we have a three-week-old, so our grand celebration plans consist of a bottle of champagne and a Redbox after DS1 is in bed, probably while trading off who gets to jiggle DS2 and hold the pacifier in his mouth. Ah, the romance!

WTF man. My patient went to the wrong office. I had one patient today. So I hired a baby sitter, drove 40 minutes, and the patient basically no-showed. IT WAS HIS IDEA TO EVEN COME TO THIS OFFICE. ughhhh.
The office he drove to is a hour away. His story makes no sense. He said he lost the address to our main office; so instead of calling, he just went to the other office bc the address was on his discharge paperwork. WHAT? We are only at the other office every other Thursday, which I told him, repeatedly when trying to schedule him.
I had made plans with DS's favorite playmate to go to a bouncy house place today. But they canceled, boo I've texted every other mom I know, they're all busy. I guess DS and I will go alone, but damn I wanted some company. Bouncy houses are no fun alone, DS will want to play with me, I wanted him to play with a friend!
For the first time, I got an extra item in with my Gap order- a cute pair of boy's sneakers. I probably have to contact Gap and send them back but they're SO CUTE.
I'm in one of those moods where I just hate everyone.
So I'm currently in a fight with my boss & MIL. But these fights are only taking place in my mind at the moment - but I'm ready if/when they become real!
I've contructed arguments & responses to anything they could possibly say. Which is extra ridiculous because, if put on the spot, I'll probably just freeze and forget everything I've 'rehearsed'.
Man, it's exhausting being mildly-crazy some days.
Last week I found out a colleague in a different department (also overseen by my boss) is retiring. Approximately 60 seconds later I was in my boss's office suggesting that I would be Very Interested in moving into that role. He just kind of laughed.
Today he called me in out of the blue and asked me to pitch why I'd be good for that department. Squeee! Fingers crossed.
ETA: Can I just add that no one in real life would believe that I actually just used the word "squeee"? lol

This sounds like me. I always tell my DH, "It's really HARD to be me, you know?"
I'm pretty sure we are getting Google Fiber in my neighborhood. They've been digging holes and laying cable the past week, I can't think of anything else it could be. Every day I hopefully check the front door for a sign up flyer but nothing yet.
I feel pretty good today since I got a total of about 6 hours of sleep last night. I just couldn't fall back asleep after the 4 am wakeup but did after the 1 am one. Progress!
DS tried WCM last night and holy hell, he loved it. I only offered a little with dinner just to see if he would throw the sippy. He finished it and kept pointing at the sippy. I offered his water, but he just kept pointing at the milk sippy.
Guess this transition will be easier than anticipated. But, dude. Mama paid for the entire tub of formula, so you're gonna finish that first.
We'll be trying WCM soon too, so I hope it goes that smoothly. But DD also has to finish her whole tub of formula too - I knew when I bought it that it was probably more than she'd need, but I couldn't bring myself to pay 2/3 the price for half the formula so I bought the big one, just in case.
Ugh we had an emergency conference call and I was late leaving, so V slept in the car. It's so close to nap time I'm sure he's not going to be fun for them today.

It is 1:45 pm and thanks to scribellesam (anniversary twins, our 5th too) I just remembered it is my anniversary............................ :? In my defense I don't think H has remembered either because he hasn't said anything yet.
We did go to London two weeks ago to celebrate but still you would think I could remember.
My local kids gym just asked that anyone who has visited an area affected by Ebola in the past 21 days should stay home. By that definition all NYCers should stay home, LOL.
I had a dream squirrels were infiltrating my house. Like, every time we'd open a door, one would dart in. We'd have to track it down, wrangle it, and try to throw it out the door without letting another one in. It was bizarrely stressful. I'm sure this is a manifestation of some issue in my life.
OMG I WORK WITH SO MANY IDIOTS IT'S A WONDER THE BUILDING IS STILL STANDING.
I literally just had someone tell me they didn't know how to pull a document from the system. You use the search function!
There's one team that really shouldn't be in our division. I really hope they move them soon. Their team lead is a hot mess and doesn't know what she's doing anyway. Andplusalso, I really think they make more work for themselves so they can look "so busy" all the time.
I just calculated my due date for real with a calculator and realized my initial estimate was off by a week. This is only significant because now if this baby is born 6 days late it will be on my birthday. Not that I want to go past my due date or particularly care about having a baby on my birthday, it's just an interesting thought. My brother was born on my mom's birthday so we always had a double celebration.

My dad and I are 5 days apart and I have always loved it. It felt special to me. I always had kid birthday parties but we'd do a family dinner for both of us.
Cool. DD was born exactly a week after DH's birthday, so we're on track for clustered birthday parties all around.

Booooo. Not fun!
Yeah he was pretty bummed. My PG tummy didn't feel up to bouncing, so instead I took him to the toy store and ice cream shop. I'm glad I did the latter, they close for the season on Sunday! I didn't realize that.
It is almost 3:30 here and we have had only one lame 20 min car nap since 8 am. How is this possible? She must be making up for lost playtime with yesterday's 3 hr epic nap. She is layingsitting climbing in her crib chewing on the giraffe while i attempt to drink coffee. In front of the crib of course or else she will freak out.

Well that was a huge fail. He was (presumably) so hopped up on sugar he refused to nap. So now he's destroying the living room while I start dinner, and DH is on a work call. Grrrrreat.

DH called me and said a friend who should remain nameless is having a rough time and he might need to go out to a bar with him tonight.
I love that DH is such a loyal friend, but it drives me crazy sometimes when he doesn't tell me what friend or what the issue is. I want to be in on all the gossip, lol.
We are on our way up to the cottage and are sitting at a red light. I am fooling around taking selfies and comment about always having a double chin and this is what DH does...

My mom is awesome! She is so so helpful. She is so good with DS. She put him down for nap and then when I got home from my dr's appt she told me to nap while she watched Thomas with him, cleaned and now she took DS on a walk. I wish she's move in.
