My cats are driving me crazy this morning. The younger one is just being generally annoying, but the older one is scratching at DD's door. It's cute that he likes to go in and see her in the mornings, but she's still sleeping!! Do not wake her up, cat!!!!
I'd love to do the same, but have a crazy amount of work to do and am going on vacation at the end of next week. Nonetheless, I think I'm going to have to take a nap at some point today while our nanny is here.
DS was up almost every hour after 11pm last night and has been sleeping in my arms since I gave him Tylenol at 6am. Every time I try to put him down, he wails.
He just had his six month shots yesterday. I am so screwed today on the work front.
I have a feeling this isn't going to be such a happy Wednesday. We have a band of snow moving through the area and it's an absolute mess out there. However, no one has heard from our boss, so we all assume we're open as usual. But, people who have already started commuting have been letting the rest of us know it's pretty bad on the roads. I so do not want to take DS out there! It's going to be a long day.
I can't decide if it's worth responding to BSC coworker and point out how incorrect she was or just say fuck it and document in our files her inconsistencies. She's driving everyone nuts and unfortunately our boss is on travel this week.
Last night we realized our propane tank was almost empty - DH tried to turn on a burner on the range and the flame just flickered. Our furnace and water heaters run on propane. Luckily we have two space heaters so we put one in DS's room and one in our room, so it stayed around 68 in both rooms over night. However I walked downstairs this morning and it's 58 degrees!! DH called the the propane company last night and they are coming out today. But a lukewarm, very short shower is not how I like to start the day!
I have a blood draw that our stupid insurance requires at 10:30 today and am supposed to fast overnight. It was the earliest appointment they had. I hate these stupid things. I'm starving and a grouch without coffee.
Prepare to see a lot of me on here today My maternity leave starts on friday, so I'm just wrapping things up and laying low for the next 2 days. I have no ambition to start anything new.
I have to call PayPal today to resolve a dispute, and I'm dreading it. DH has to work with them a ton for his job, and he says their CS is incompetent and useless. I'm not surprised, as the website tells me to "resolve a dispute" ASAP, but also tells me my transaction ID is invalid

L's neurology appointment went super well yesterday! They are super positive with his progress, said he is totally on track, and not showing any evidence of brain damage or development delay. Such a relief!
Today is super busy. Preschool drop off now, gym, library story time, lunch with the boys, preschool pick up, speech evaluation for DD, haircuts for all the kids across town. We should get home for the first time all day just before DH. Then dinner, baths for all three and I'll be out the door by 6:30 to go to my tap class. Car naps will have to do.
I acted like a psycho yesterday evening - I think DH thought I was batty. I think it's PP PMS - I don't usually get bad PMS but holy cow, I felt physical pain, anger, and depression all at the same time yesterday.
I tried to appeal to DD's selfish toddler side this morning by telling her if she didn't give me her car snack (aka first breakfast) when we got to daycare, she'd have to share it with everyone. She refused and as soon as we got inside she started trying to pass out Nilla Wafers. Of course, that's the moment she chooses to be generous.
I think I need to put myself on a diet, specifically, making myself eat whatever I serve to DS. Why do I take the time to prepare healthy meals for him, but I just eat whatever is in sight?
Every one of his meals include both a fruit & a vegetable. My meals when DH is working? Bowl of cereal. Chips & salsa. Wine & ice cream. Hmmm.
My f-ing husband forgot to bring the diapers and wipes THAT HIS KEYS WERE ON TOP OF to daycare this morning.
They just called and I have to go down during lunch. I'm so mad! And embarrassed! DH being in charge of dropping off is not without drawbacks.
AJ has a backpack that goes to the sitter's with him at the start of the week and comes home at the end of the week. Diapers, extra outfit or two, butt cream, etc. Nothing crazy. I can't tell you how many times I would get a text from our sitter on Tuesday along the lines of "J forgot the backpack again. So if you notice AJ is in different diapers, that's why!" (she does keep a small stash on hand and knows that AJ has not yet shown sensitivity to certain brands so she can usually put whatever on him) So when the zipper on the first backpack broke, I got the most obnoxious backpack I could find on sale at Target. Between the bright orange and the fact that it's Transformers, J hasn't forgotten that thing once. Score one for me!
@deej, enjoy your day!
I'm just sitting here waiting for my 9am feeding eval to show up. It's 9:25. Now, they're coming from kind of far away and may not know the area so they could be legit stuck in traffic and/or lost....or they could be standing me up. Blerg.
Ugh! They can't borrow from another kid and replace tomorrow? That's what they do at my daycare.
She's been out SINCE MONDAY. This is the second day in a row he forgot.
He's not usually an idiot, but I'm just stewing. And I've texted him like 11 times like an insane person and he hasn't responded yet which is further fueling my rage.

I hear ya. The most balanced meal I make for myself when J works is basically english muffin pizzas. I figure there's grain, dairy, and veggies in there right? Sometimes I get in a fruit if I give him mandarin oranges, because then it's one for AJ, two for me.
I am only 19 weeks so why does my boss want me to start planning my transition? I am probably just taking this too personally. At my last job they were giving me additional work right up until the day I delivered so I guess I should be thankful but I honestly am a little offended that she wants me to start ccing her and this random coworker on half of the emails I send out on a daily basis. Grrr! (said in Daniel Tiger voice)
I'm considering ordering a new duvet cover from PB and am being all indecisive about it. I fell in love with it when I saw the picture in the magazine but now I'm not sure how it will look in our bedroom.
