DH promised that he would take N to daycare today and then last night he said he was going in early. Ok, fine, I can understand if you have to go in to work early, I can take him. But then he ignored his alarms, and then when I asked if he was going to take him since he was going in at his normal time, he said "No, I have to get to work" Well dude, if you ignore 2 alarms and skip out on 2 hours of work, it must not be THAT important!
And after I left the house I realized I still have both carseats in my car, so I'll have to do pick up too.
I guess that answers my question on should I pursue the Montessori summer program for a few days a week to cover Fridays, even though DH said last week that he would pick up some slack and help with pick up/drop off and WFH a few days over the summer.
I'm so tired. I couldn't fall asleep last night because I was paranoid about C getting sick again. Then once I finally did, P was up every half hour. Not sure what his deal was, but he's definitely in the six week growth spurt so probably that.
At least C is feeling better this morning. H also felt bad that he was no help MOTN so he brought me coffee in bed and is going to come home early to help. I just hope I can coordinate their naps so I can get one too.
I really wanted to go to the stupid mall today and walk/browse. I am even in a shopping mood, which never happens to me. It sounds like none of the roads are clear enough though. Ugh. Why can't this place get its act together?! It snows in good amounts every year! It isn't like this is a one off!
The plumber is on his way b/c our hot water heater is leaking I'm nervous. We spent $600 getting our sink fixed last w/e, and we can't take another big expense. This sucks.

Our town is usually awesome at snow removal, but they have thrown in the towel on this one. Maybe b/c it is supposed to warm up this weekend anyway or it is too cold for the chemicals to work. Or they just feel like me, FUCK THIS IT'S SPRING.
I'm feeling so pleased with this morning. I have to thank everyone who gave me advice in my sleep thread yesterday. We gave DD some motrin for the night and had a little talk about sleeping and asked her not to throw her lovey out of the crib. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but she STTN'ed and the lovey didn't get tossed out! She even slept in a little, so I got to have breakfast and coffee with my laptop!

Morning started early here today, the baby was up at 5:30 and the toddler was up at 6:00. I'm letting Disney parent for me for a while since we all have colds, and we'll take it easy today minus a trip to the store.
I have a list of preschools I want to look into for DS1 to start in either summer or fall, but I'm having trouble pulling the trigger. How is my baby old enough for anything called "school?"
So glad it's Friday. This has been a bad 2 week stretch between mastitis, my mom's flight being canceled & rescheduled, scary icy weather, DH traveling, me having an allergic reaction to my mastitis treatment, and DS vomiting all over me the other day. I really need a break!
However... And I'm just going to whisper this... I'm not wearing socks today. It's supposed to be in the 50s and I'm so excited to wear skinny jeans & flats today! No socks, no boots, no heavy down coat!! It's the little things, people.
We're going on a walk today! And I've decided that we will also being going to the zoo and Fontenelle Forest this weekend. Because who knows if this spring like weather will last and I'm taking advantage of it.

My parents were supposed to come stay with us for the weekend, but my mom just called to tell me she has the effing stomach bug that has been going around. I shouldn't be 34 and crying b/c of it, but dammit I'm bummed! I know DS will be disappointed too once I tell him, so I need to think of something fun for him to do this weekend.
My neighbors are screaming at each other again. I can hear them through 12 + inches of brick. Yesterday I could hear them half a block away when I was shoveling. They take turns with which one is louder. I am never sure if I should call the police.
My workout class was cancelled last minute this morning. It's a studio class not attached to a gym so I can't still go and get a workout in there. I was really looking forward to it and am disappointed. I'm going to try to get DH to come home so I can run to the gym before I have to do a birthday party and girl's night tonight. I need a gym membership somewhere with child care.
Oh, and I am convinced if I can get through today and the frigid temperatures that spring-like weather will be on its way. Looking forward to 40s and 50s!
Dd1 has figured out that I give her limited choices and is now using my own parenting weapons against me. Last night she asked, "Mom, are we going to have mac & cheese for dinner tonight, or tomorrow night?"
Yay Friday! today is supposed to be the last day of super cold weather...we might actually see 60 degrees in the next two weeks.
I'm super excited for tomorrow-long run with my friend, running errands with AJ, then a birthday party for our friends' little girl in the evening. We don't get to see these friends as often as we'd like so it'll be great to see everyone.
So I got a set of contigo mugs for my birthday and I love them, but when I put seriously hot coffee in, I have to leave the lid off for 5-10 min to cool it off or else I burn myself. The struggle is real.
LOL. H and I got them for Christmas and we're all, "but it keeps our coffee TOO hot!"
I managed to shower while both boys were awake. P went in the RNP, C got to play in a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub while I watched them through the glass doors. I feel like a rockstar.

I'm not sure I have ever managed this. That's amazing.
Bad night in the Glauren household last night; I ended up sleeping on the floor in DS's room (with DS) because he wouldn't calm down any other way. I think we've officially hit the 18 month sleep regression a month early. DS is average to late with almost everything (rolling over, crawling, walking, talking) - but he's SUPER ADVANCED at hitting sleep regressions early! Damn kid. To add insult to injury, I just caught a look at myself in the mirror and I look like I slept on a floor last night. TGImfingF!
H just sent me an email telling me I should really clean the filter on our vacuum. It really annoyed me. I do clean the filter and he doesn't even know where the vacuum is so don't be telling me what I should do.
FWP- I have making a salad for lunch to use up all these extra veggies we have and I don't like any of the dressings we have in the house.
humpforfree and cinco I was really surprised at how bad our roads were this morning taking M to daycare ( and that was at 10 because they opened late). My street which is a dinky side street was better plowed then the main roads. They were still completely covered. I didn't like having M in the car and normally that stuff doesn't bother me. I agree- it is like they just gave up.

Seriously. Go you, Brie ! I have trouble taking a shower with one awake child.
