DD woke up sick from her nap yesterday and was a pill all morning. I remembered I had some medicine for colds and gave it to her with lunch. She went into her crib for a nap at 12:55. It's 4:55 and she's still sleeping. She's not gonna sleep tonight, right? Ugh.
I have horrible gas tonight and I have no idea what it's from. I don't even want to be in the same room as myself!
DD is playing so nicely right now that DH and I are both just stalling putting her to bed because it was cause crying and a meltdown like it does every night once she realizes what's going on.
When do evenings stop sucking with infants? We feed them around 430/5 and then its crying off and on till bedtime. I wish they could just sit content.
i hate to break it to you but we still have long painful afternoons with a 4.5 year old and a 19 month old. I am having one today.
To be fair it's a whole different experience from the newborn witching hour. But the witching hour is still alive and well. I am convinced happy hour was invented by a SAHM actually. Because a lot of days I am so ready for a drink at 5.
DD crawled tonight. Like, not just weirdly falling forward and inching toward something. Legit knees-on-the-ground crawling. Then she stood up in her crib for the first time (hanging onto the rail). I teared up. That's two too many growing up things. She is getting so big so fast.
linz Have you tried giving them a snack bottle of a couple ounces to see if that helps soothe them? Warm baths? K is close in age to your twins and cluster feeds a lot in the evenings.
I'm feeding K while H cleans up from dinner and then I need to make up our bed with fresh sheets and make bottles.
We did start doing that where we feed them earlier. Esp since they sleep better at night. Times like this make me wish I nursed instead of EP. I used to do bath twice a week but now I'm going to 3x.

Were they preemies? Â I'd say by 3-4 months it is much easier. Â 6-12 weeks was hardest for us.
Yep. They're 13 weeks but 6 weeks adjusted. Its been rough since they were about 6 weeks. Its not as bad since we pushed bedtime up and they're awake more during day so now thats their fussy time.

All children are sleeping. It's 9:15pm. 4mw is perhaps over? Ds2 did sleep 7hrs last night. OK, going to stop talking about good sleep before I jinx it.
Hope I didn't already post this but DD1 broke my grandmothers freaking 110yr old metal/brass bed fucking around jumping on it. Like the metal sheared off on one of the frame pieces. I cried a little about it. I was mad but mostly sad. I think it'll go in storage & stay there until I have a proper guest room & then try & get it fixed.
I have an 8am meeting with the Principal & VP. I'm glad DH is going with me...they'll know we are freaking serious that the bully kid needs out of the school or at least any contact with my kid. They are supposed to have a zero tolerance policy.
My sister's life is going to be so stressful if she go ahead & marries her FI. Her soon to be SD is only 11 & has so many issues.
I kind of really want to sell my rental house. I could pay off my 2 other rentals, pay off everything except mortgage & still fix up & buy everything I want for my current house.
DS has another cold with crap coming out of his eye. Bets on daycare calling tomorrow because they suspect pink eye again?
There was a Scarlet Fever announcement today at DC as well. No clue what room, but ugh. I'm holding my breath for 1.5 more weeks and then DC woes are my mom's problem for a week
I just did a cooking program for twenty 4-7 year olds. I feel like I deserve recognition for not snacking on any of the wonderful carb-i-ness that was in the room including waffles, chocolate chips, fruits of multiple varieties, and more.
That's right, I think I deserve praise for displaying a modicum of self control. This might be part of my problem, lol.
Just got home this afternoon from my business trip in San Fran. Did I miss anything noteworthy the last five days? Anyone want to give me a @this style rundown if so?

DD keeps sleeping and then suddenly sitting up and throwing 1-2 things out of her crib, lying back down and going to sleep. What? I'm not sure she has much left to toss out.
DS1 (almost 7yo) has been a bit...edgy lately. I think it is the lack of outdoor time due to frigid temperatures for the past 2 weeks. He is super hilarious but is also trying out a little attitude. Much to his dismay, he doesn't get away with it. Today he has been responding to things in this manner (trying to be funny): Me: "DS, please go wash your hands and get your shoes on." DS1: "You go wash your hands and get your shoes on."
Me: "Time to get your homework out." DS1: "Time for you to get your homework out."
Me: "Please put your seatbelt on." DS1: "You put your seatbelt on."
It reminds me of Tommy Boy every time, which makes it hard not to giggle. But it is incredibly rude and not acceptable behavior. He's not to happy about his consequences because of his rude behavior choices.

We are watching Galavant. It's kind of hilariously awful
H had his review today. Apparently (he doesn't know if he heard right, lol) he's getting a $5k bonus! Unheard of in the NP world. Unfortunately I think this means he thinks he's earned a BJ tonight.

E was a mess when I got home. I hope the antibiotics start helping. She dozed on and off until 7 when we threw her in the bath to perk her up a bit. Finally got her into bed at 7.

Today is DH's birthday and I feel like a terrible wife. I didn't get him anything except a card. M and I made him a finger painted picture frame for his office and M picked out a puppy card that barks the happy birthday song. I'm already in my pajamas and don't plan on giving him birthday sex.
I would be so irritated if that's all he did for me but he is so gracious and doesn't seem bothered by it.
