I am done with gofundme. I can't remember the last time I saw one that was, I don't know, an appropriate use for it, I know, I am being judgy, I own it.
I have an OB appointment and then I go to work…I am helping to interview for new French teachers after work so I work til past 8pm tonight - and again Wednesday At least next week is March break!
We are in the mtns of Utah and it is suppose to be warmer here then at home all week. Like almost 60 degrees today. WTF. But can't say I am not enjoying the sunshine and being outside all day.
Between DST and the time change I have been going to bed at 9:30 and getting up at 5:30. That is my normal schd.....not vacation schedule. Get it together body!!!
I think our IT department may have figured out how to filter spam because I didn't have 20 useless emais this morning when I checked. Only took 5 years.
In December, a cyclist was killed in a bike lane, by a drunk, texting, Episcopalian Bishop. Since then I have taken to shouting, "have a safe ride", at anyone riding a bike. I know this is crazy, but it makes me feel better.
Ed was sleeping in and I was working frantically on an article. Then they started pound nails next door, about 10 feet from her bedroom window. She's awake now, thanks!
She was a total mess yesterday evening and now I'm kind of scared for today.
We close on both houses today so I couldn't sleep all night. The other agent on the house we are buying is awful so I'm just praying all goes well. She was sending us docs with othe peoples names, arguing about the HUD statement that her title company sent over, and makes snide comments about everything. So glad to be done with her!
A childhood friend got married this past weekend and Tim Tebow was a groomsman. My parents and brother were all invited but had to miss it since we were out of town for my aunt's funeral. It's kind of funny seeing his picture all over my Facebook today.
It's 720 am and the kids are still sleeping, I guess the time change is messing with them even though they went to bed at a new normal time.
I'm working from home today because we have an oven repair person coming. So I just need to drop DS1 off at preschool and DS2 off at my mom's house and them I've got the house to myself. I'm very glad to be working from the couch today because I'm feeling like crap. Being pregnant and having a cold is no fun.

I can't decide if I want to try to take DS1 to gym daycare today. He completely lost his shit when I tried to drop him at Sunday School yesterday, I'd rather not deal with a repeat performance without DH there to help me. But I can't help him get over this new separation anxiety issue without actually separating from him, right? I want my confident, independent boy back!
The worst part about doing a crappy local commercial is that IT HAUNTS YOU FOR YEARS and randos keep approaching you about it .
I'm waiting for our new bed with DS here. They called and said they'd be here right at 9:30 so I figured I'd not zoom all over and just take DS to daycare after. Instead we are waiting and they aren't showing and DS is crabby and I'm supposed to be WFH and its a huge clusterF.
We had friends stay over on Friday night. They got suuuuper drunk (smart, considering it was for a bachelor party the next day /sarcasm) and got sick that night and next morning. I went into the bathroom and bedrooms yesterday to get the sheets and towels in order to wash them, and something REEKED. Turns out, there was vomit on the towels, and I left them for DH to bring down b/c I was gagging. After THREE washes, they were still not clean and I warned my mom this morning that I needed to clean out the washing machine and to not wash DD's clothes in there. She sent me a text stating "puke all over rugs in the bathroom and puke towel left in back bedroom" I am LIVID.
DD hasn't thrown up since last night so that's good. She has diarrhea now though. She took about 2 bites of her toast and that's it. All she wants to do is nurse. The normal rule is we only nurse before bed/nap. I'm breaking the rule but I hope it won't be hard for her to transition back to it once she's better.
Ugh, this first PP period is no joke. I feel sooo bloated. Of course I have to do a weigh-in with my trainer today.
The leftover brownies from our GTG are on the counter, calling for me.
I think our kids are around the same age (7mo). I just finished my first PP period, and holy crap. Some combo of Paragard and not having dealt with a period in 16 months made me wholly unprepared for this. Probably time to woman up and get a Diva Cup, but I'm scared...
Solo parenting day is a little crazy thus far. Baby doesn't want to be put down. C is currently working on a birthday card for H right now while I sift through the cable guide DVRing anything he might like that isn't Mickey.
@mrsspunky, that's awful! Those people would not be welcome back to my house after that. Did they apologize or even acknowledge the fact that they made a huge stinky mess?
DD has been showing some interest in the toilet lately - when I go to the bathroom, she'll take some toilet paper and wipe her crotch (over her clothing) then throw it in the toilet. She's only 16 months, we weren't planning to potty train until after DS is born and she's closer to 2 years old. Should we get a potty or a special seat for her now just to get her used to it, even though we intend to keep her in diapers for a while? I don't want to discourage her interest, but it seems pretty early and I'm not sure I want to deal with a newborn and a barely-trained toddler at the same time. I also need to check with daycare - I know they will help with potty training in the 2's class, but she's still in the toddler class and will be for probably 6-9 more months, so I don't know what they're willing to do.

Nope. The main perpetrator was a 25 yo friend of the groom-to-be (DH's/my BFF)... so 6 years younger than the next youngest person (besides me). I'm guessing he's still in the young guy party phase of his life and doesn't give a shit. Not that the 31 yo groom-to-be, 36 yo DH, and 39 yo other friend were much better, but they didn't leave vomit-soaked towels in 2 rooms of my house. I didn't know who slept where, but DH remembered who was in each room. This kid was a jerk anyway, and he will certainly not be welcome at my house ever again.
I am working from home today while the cabinet guys are here installing a few outstanding odds and ends. I am a little annoyed because I keep telling him drawers and doors need adjusted, and then he will try the cabinet door and there's no issue. I even said to him - that is not how a normal person shuts the cabinet door! We have soft close doors/drawers and some aren't working properly. When you lightly shut them like he is doing, of course there's no problem!!!
Also, I am tired and have a headache. DS did fine with DST but it has kicked my butt.

Today I noticed that Children's Place (& Target) don't list UVA/UVB protection in their sunglasses description. Now I feel bad that M's favorite pair of sunglasses (from CP) should be replaced. I am looking at a pair from OshKosh but I feel like he'll resist the switch. I'm a little irritated that companies even bother making sunglasses without UVA/UVB protection.

I would shake my fist and say something like "kids these days"...but I'm 25 and am aghast that someone my age could be such a jerk (and apparently clueless as well). Then again, some people never grow up, this kid sounds like he might be one of them.
We took a bottle of Wild Turkey on our road trip last week. When we got all our stuff out of the trunk, we forgot to take that inside, and it rolled around and broke the next time we drove. You guys, it was a big bottle. And it was full. My car now reeks of whiskey. We drove the 14 hours home and kept joking that we'd better not get pulled over. But seriously. The smell is overwhelming.
I hate unsolicited parenting advice from strangers. I was walking into my apartment building and some lady made a comment about E not having a jacket on in his car seat. Ok lady, it's 40 degrees out, he has a blanket on, and we were outside for all of 30 seconds! I told her to mind her own business. I'm still riled up about it. Protective mommy instincts kicking in for sure, lol.
We had just gotten back from his 2 week check up and everything went well! He has grown a pound since birth and like an inch and a half. I also cried to the pedi about my pumping issues (I seriously can't talk about it without crying, it's ridiculous) and she said the first couple weeks are the most important and I've gotten past that. And that it's not worth it to continue if I'm getting that little and stressing so much over it. I think I'm going to up my brewers yeast intake and if I can't get a decent amount by the time he's a month old (11 more days), I'm going to stop. I have to stop thinking it's my fault. I'm doing everything right and it's still not working, and there isn't much more I can do. I'm grateful for all the support and kind words I've gotten here. It really does help me feel better if this doesn't improve.

Hugs. It really is so hard but you have to do what works for you.
