Sunday evening randoms.

[rugbywife]

We get home from doing groceries late, I get DD in the bath and then I hear a man's voice. It's a guy who used to go to our gym. He has dropped by unannounced to pick something up that DH has had for months. He is still here. It has been at least 30 minutes. I am now feeding DD and the groceries are out and dinner for us isn't made and I am fucking pissed. Get out of my house.

[Brie]

We just watched Big Hero 6. It was cute.

[ShaysMomma]

I just gave in to the cookies I have been craving for a month - peanut butter chocolate no bake cookies. Come. To. Mamma.

[oswin]

DD has had diarrhea all day. I'm exhausted and not looking forward to keeping her home tomorrow.

[lulu21]

My ILs leave tomorrow! Woohoooooo. We got good news today and the plumber said our leak is not in the plumbing but just a poorly installed shower.

[rugbywife]

OMG. A few. Minutes ago he said he was leaving. Still fucking talking. Sigh. Just left. Thank god.

[pugz]

getting shipping labels made for the stuff I sold on the BST board. Still some Tea, Boden, and HA stuff available in 3t if anyone wants stuff!

I just spent $154.00 at ON. It all started because I wanted a field/military style jacket. Then it turned into cute lounge clothes for me, some cute spring stuff, DS always needs clothes, a cute shirt for DD for summer and on and on and on...lol.

I've had a rough week with sicks kids and it's apparently my therapy. I also had to order H some eye drops on Amazon and got DD some art stuff and a new forehead thermometer because I just had a plain regular one and my kids managed to chew it down to the wire. 

And tomorrow when I have ten minutes alone to think I'm going to order all the things on shutterfly with our pics we just got back.

One of my goals for the year was to get rid of 2015 things. I'm only at 158. Just by averages, I should be at 330. I just don't see it happening. But I'm going to continue to purge and maybe just stop counting.

[brooklyn]

Jack just woke up. I hope he doesn't consider that a nap.

[lauren170]

Business travel, when you have a clingy 1 year old, sucks. But I had a $14 glass of Malbec at the airport.

[mrssandro]

Just finished my laundry, dusted my room and washed my hair. I feel so relaxed. Prehaps I should relieve DH of baby duty? .... naaaaaa

[ryry]

Warning: long and vent-y. I am in such a bad mood and need to snap out of it. I am emotional and exhausted today. My grandmother passed away from a heart attack Wednesday. She had the heart attack Tuesday and we spent several hours at the ER and it was very touch and go. By Wednesday it was clear that she was not going to make it. We went to the hospital to say our goodbyes. It was awful. Since then, it's been a drama filled mess planning her service and everyone has something to say about what I've done wrong in planning it.

I haven't been sleeping well in a long time. I spend 2-3 hours every night awake, usually because i have to get up to pee and then can't fall asleep. And dd2 hasn't been sleeping well either.

Today we went to an early dinner with my family. I was exhausted and not into it at all. My dads wife commented that I seemed angry and she's never seen me angry before. I couldn't put on a happy face. The arrangements were brought up several times, and I just can't talk about it without getting upset.

Tomorrow is my birthday. DH has nothing planned. He usually doesn't, so it's no surprise, and I didn't ask him to plan anything, so I can't be upset about it. But I just need a break. I was supposed to have a couple friends over tonight, but we cancelled because of the snow. Stupid snow.

And I went shopping today for maternity clothes and came back totally empty handed. I don't actually look pregnant at all yet, just like I gained 10 lbs, so maternity clothes look silly. Also, I'd rather have a little baby bump at 16.5 weeks than just more flab. I have enough of that anyway!

Anyway, I needed to get this off my chest more than anything else. Birthday cake for anyone who read all that!

I feel for you because I have the same situation in my house. Two rounds of puking this morning and diarrhea a few times this afternoon. Poor kid. I have a busy week at work so staying home with him tomorrow is throwing a wrench in my schedule.

[mcfelix]

ryry - sorry you are dealing with so much at one time. I hope things look up for you soon.

DH put off calling MIL all weekend so now she's ruining bedtime. Ugh

Our E. student is also manner-less and IDK how to fix it.

Yesterday when I had two sick screaming kids and a complete disaster of a house he said, "Dairy. Did you make me any lunch?" I basically told him to make a salad and have some fruit because we have 453543 healthy options in the fridge before they go bad. He mumbles under his breath, "Effing salad is not a meal. I'm not the maid." H heard it and laid him into him a bit, thank goodness. It's dumb. There's always food in my house. If you don't like the choices, pull something else out.

Today we took him out for lunch at our church dinner. They serve family style and we were a party of 8. He sits down in the middle of the table, starts dishing up his food, like there may not be refills, while the rest of us sit there, waiting. It was so weird. My Dad was kind of like "Ummm...share dude!" and then he got it. Sort of.

He's just so socially clueless sometimes. And clueless that people are busy and things are happening right around him.

He is who he is and it's not cultural so I don't know to fix or teach that. Not that I should have to to a grown adult.

[aspentosh]

Actually went to the doctor and he said it was probably bronchitis and a definite ear infection. I just want to be well. Good news is DD and H have been *knock on wood* unscathed this winter, so if I have to take one (or two, or three, as it were) for the team I will do.

Does recycling count in this challenge or what? I have a fair amount of stuff and try to declutter on the regular but if I had to get rid of 2015 things I'd be down to a pair of underwear and a spoon.

Hugs ryry that all sounds so incredibly hard. Happy Birthday, I hope you get a few moments of peace tomorrow.

[rugbywife]

Mothereffer. I forgot cheese for our steak sandwiches. I have sautéed mushrooms and onions, garlic mayo, awesome buns, and steak. But no cheese. This adds to my miserable mood. Lol.

DH got an interview for a teaching job he applied for. I am so excited for him.

Did C like it? What's the plot? I've consisted renting it for DS, but he has no concept of what a superhero is.

[humpforfree]

I feel like I won today because I boiled 10 eggs for breakfast/lunch this week and prepped the baked oats for breakfasts. The rest of the day was either on the sofa or in bed while H baby wrangled. I'm going to be so sad when he starts working on he house more again and I am back on full time baby/toddler duty.

[rootbeerfloat]

Watching HP#1 with the kids.

[holly116]

My goal to push it forward this weekend was to try and get the gallery wall up in the family room. I bought a bunch of random frames at IKEA on Tuesday without any sort of plan. I know how to play my DH. I started talking about cutting out paper and tacking it up to "see" a la Pinterest and he couldn't handle that. Soon enough, he had the wall in autocad and totally took over the project.

Yay. Frames are up! Now to go through all our photos and order some fresh prints.

In my mind the things need to leave the house. It was dumb. I try to declutter on the regular too and we were aren't stuff people, but people were all like, "you would be surprised how much you can find to get rid of" etc and I thought counting might feel more like I had achieved something because it's measurable.  It was totally dumb.  First, I just don't have that much crap. Second, it feels good to have the drawer/pantry/shelf/closet, whatever cleaned out no matter how much I was or want able to get rid of.  It was a seriously dumb idea.    
Lol at how many times I said "dumb" in this post!

Sorry you're dealing with it too. No puke here, but several blowouts. Luckily she's in bed now and I get some quiet time to recover.

LOL. It's not dumb. It's a fun concept and I'd be all over it. I like to count stuff too. It's just that 2015 is a lot. I could get on board no problem with like 215...haha.

[karinothing]

holly116- Do you mind sharing how much IKEA frames are. I need a bunch too. Btw i also really like your layout

[rugbywife]

ryry, I am so sorry…all of that sucks.
