I had FB posting to "custom" for ages. Once I switched it to friends and I cannot get the damn thing back. Every time I realize it posted to friends and I try to change it to custom, the custom list is completely erased. I have reset it up like 1 million times and it still doesn't work, grr.
I had to change my setting on FB for this recently because it somehow got set to public. I was able to do something in the Privacy Settings that said who would see all future posts. Can you change it there?
I am in a serious funk. I don't know if it's the weather lately, the kids, my DH or a combination of all of it but everything is seriously grating on my last nerve and I'm not sure what to do to bring myself out of it. I even have all of my cleaning robots going right now and I'm still not content.
DH is taking a half day to volunteer so I'm on my own with the kids tonight and I can't even be pissed about it without seeming like a total brat. I hate that.
Maybe I'll see if I can make plans of some sort to get out of this house this afternoon.
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!
Yay that's great! I'm so glad my advice about having a little talk worked.
My poor baby is having a weird day. He was ravenously hungry, then not hungry at all, then started angry screaming when he pooped. Now he's been sleeping more than 3 hours. I think we're all exhausted.
My kids were going stir crazy, so I dressed them warmly and let them loose in the backyard (I can see it from my kitchen). They have been playing with a snow shovel and a sand shovel for the last half hour. I forget sometimes how little they actually need to be happy. (My backyard is eleven feet by thirty feet and there are 6 inches of snow).
H and I had a discussion last night about my weight, as I had text him earlier in the day, that I just spent 20 minutes crying in my office because I still have about 15 pounds of baby weight to lose. He was so sweet then and was like "you just had a baby 5 months ago, you're doing great" It was so sweet, although I still hate the way I look
I liked this in companionship. I'm right there with you. 15lbs out and my baby is 4.5 months. I'm still in my maternity jeans minus one old pair of cords. I feel horrible about the way I look and the weather isn't helping.
I bet you look a lot better than you think! You will lose it, I did lose it all with my first, but it took about nine months. Six months last time was a turning point for me.
Hugs, it's really hard when you don't feel like you.
I'm so annoyed by H's work. The head lawyer is giving him shit bc the office opened at 1030 today and H got there at 1035. Despite the fact that the roads are covered with snow/ice etc.
How does he know H got there at 1035? Because he has CAMERAS throughout the office to track when employees come and go. He was still at home, watching to see when people arrive. Apparently he records the sound as well, which is slightly illegal under MD law.
Now he is making H stay late on a Friday night I guess because of that.
Part of me is like - sure, H should have been there at 1030. But the cameras are weird. As is the fact that H is a professional who never has issues getting work done. It's not like he's skipping out at 2.
Plus he only gets one week of vacation a year which i know is the norm for some but his old job was just like - take whatever, make your billables. I guess part of this is culture shock.
The real reason I'm annoyed is that I find it sexist. They can tell H to work late because it is assumed I will pick up the kids and that I am the primary caregiver. Well we are pretty 50/50 and now my life is significantly harder. And no he is not getting paid enough for this.
Bah.
If he is really tracking his hours like that - your H could have a claim to file to be considered non-exempt. Not that he would do that but the whole point of exempt employment is hours aren't tracked (among other things). Of course I am telling the lawyer that - you probably all ready know that.

I just went and bought some Chucks - gray with hot pink stitching. Maternity leave is so bad for my shopping habits - and I'm in the unpaid portion of my leave now. Oops.

Long day in the Longfellow house.
We're on day 3 of being stuck in the house with painters/other workers in my house, plus a sick baby. DD2 has a ridiculously runny nose, plus pink eye. Joy. I'm so afraid we're all going to catch it! Plus she's a miserable mess.
We're driving to my parents' house for DD1's spring break a week from today, and I've done nothing to get ready. I need to do a ton of laundry, get a rental car, figure out where we want to stop for the night.
DH is going OOT for work for the next week, leaving tomorrow. It's DDs spring break. WAHHHH!
I have managed to find a plethora of babysitters so it should turn out pretty nice if the weather isn't too bad! My dad on Sunday (first time to babysit DD), our regular sitter is coming Monday, and my mom on Wednesday. DH will be home Thursday.
I have a ton of wine.
I don't know how people who have traveling spouses that are gone frequently/for long periods of time do it.

LOLOLOL
I facetimed H and DD at 4:30 (from the treadmill during my cool down, woot), and asked H if she had had a snack yet. He got this "oh shit" look on his face and confessed he forgot to give her LUNCH.
