C is already preemptively refusing to wear his Easter outfit. There will be bribery involved.
I had him try on a pair of the HA Unders I bought from Zulily a few weeks ago and he loved them and didn't want to take them off. Too bad he's not ready to PT yet. Maybe it'll be an incentive?
This has been the week from hell involving a flood in my basement and shingles blowing off my roof today. I also can't seem to get it together with my kids/life in general. Tomorrow I am home alone and it's a goal. I need to enjoy my summer and stop the treading water feeling. I know deep down I'm doing my fine but one of my bffs (who's about to be former) is being super judgemental about everything (lol..."Do you buy store wipes? Did you see the recall! This is why I make my own. Umm...b*tch we're lucky if I even remember to buy baby wipes some weeks!)
In good news I'm in my comfiest sweats, drinking a beer and eating grilled hamburgers. So good!
I played around with my silhouette tonight that I got at Christmas and it was so much fun! Way better than my cricut. Got some stuff done for E's party.
My mom, niece and nephews came and surprised me with lunch at work. Then they hung around the town I teach in and then went to my house once DH was home from work. I picked up pizza and they stayed for dinner. It was a fun night! I have staff development tomorrow which is going to be so incredibly long. But then Friday I'm off.
2 house showings tomorrow and am agent preview. I am so done with selling. We are reducing on the 20th and have a open house the following weekend. Please sell.
I just gave an hour long tour of the library to a group of 4th grade scouts. I'm totally exhausted, lol.
DH is OOT until Monday night, my family is ignoring Easter because of bro/SIL's impending divorce, and all of my friends of course have family plans for the holiday. The weekend is looking bleak. I hope C at least likes her basket.
I left work sick because I was vomiting. I spent the entire rest of the day at home flat on my back trying not to move, or in the bathroom on the toilet or hanging over it throwing up. I ran out to pick DS up from the friend who watches him, and almost didn't make it home in time. Thank goodness he was content to watch TV all night. DH is doing some work from home so I had DS sit on the couch with me.
I spoke to my boss before I left. But she managed to confuse herself and dig up an OLD email about my working from home for the afternoon, and responded to it, telling me to use sick time. I sensed she was annoyed because DS was sick and we also just went on vacation, and here I am, sick myself. Maybe she thought I was taking advantage or not actually "sick"? I have a huge laundry list of things to do in the office. So I did NOT want to be out today.
I was pretty defensive with my response. I feel bad. But I was so ticked with the language, as I was checking emails on my work phone mid-vomit.
Here's a good one. I'm allowing my mom to "potty train" my 14 month old - and it's going okay. DD likes to sit on her potty and read a book about using the potty. She hasn't done anything in there but will say "poop" and then make grunting sounds. I guess why not??
Solo parenting tonight since DH has class until about 9pm tonight. So far since getting home from work the kids have just been watching Peter Pan. I need to start figuring out dinner soon. But at least I've started a load of laundry.
I'm still at work. I started taking calls/responding to emails at about 8:00 this morning, got to the office around 9:30, and am eating yucky McDonald's at my desk right now. I want to go home and sleep for 15 hours!
The PTO at A's school had a fundraising dinner at a local restaurant. M and I left early, because he was tired, and he fell asleep on the way home.
On the way there, we stopped so I could put M on my back. A twenty something walked by and I heard A talk to him. A few seconds into the conversation I hear her say, "...bad for you. It will turn your lungs black, and you could die." Apparently she was telling this random guy that smoking is bad for him. I called her over, and apologized to the guy, who was a really good sport about it. I tried to explain that yes smoking is bad, but it isn't polite to lecture strangers. She told me that they learned about smoking being bad, at school, and she was supposed to let people know.
DD cut giant chunks out of her hair today with a kiddie scissors while I got DS up from nap.
Like tons of it.
Good news is she cut it in the "right spot" So it's not obvious. Still. I was explaining why it was wrong to do so and she said, "It's okay mom. I like my hair short anyways!" Which is true for her.

My DS entered a coloring contest through a local business we regularly shop at. Winners are chosen via FB likes. The current leader is a 9 month old. I am /ded about this because the picture is seriously just a few crayon swipes, like you would imagine that a baby would do. I didn't have my DD enter because she is 10 months old and has no idea what is going on and it would never occur to me to enter a baby in a contest like that.
My MIL fed the dogs while I was putting the baby to bed. I had already fed them 45 minutes earlier, unbeknownst to her, yes, but no one fucking asked you to feed them. Please stop fucking assuming that I can't or haven't handled the responsibilities of my own fucking house. Grrrrrr.
My breasts still feel like shit. I went got a hospital pump rental today do see if it helps. It seems a little better.
I'm not sure if I'm stubbornly torturing myself at this point or just soldiering on in my kid's best interest. I don't have much else going on so may as well for now.
The girls manage to topple over their dresser during nap time. Time to up the toddler proofing. Claire's leg ended up getting trapped, but she wasn't too upset. Audrey was the one who was bawling.
I suspect that they were pulling open the drawers and trying to scale it. I actually did something similar at their age and ended up with a tv on my head.
Thankfully they were both fine, but it makes me nervous- especially since they have a tendency to wake up in the motn and play.

Post it here. We'll make sure he gets plenty of "likes".

I know that stubborn feeling and I was probably getting less than half the milk you are, haha. Seriously though, I was sacrificing my own sanity for what I thought was best but in the end, it wasn't worth it anymore. Just know you're not alone and it's a tough choice, but don't hate yourself as much as I did if you decide to stop. Your comfort and sanity are more important!
I realize this makes me sound 80, but my bunion fucking hurts tonight!
If that makes you sound 80, I don't want to know how old it makes me sound when I say I had double bunion surgery at 27.
LOL I had bunion surgery on my left foot when I was 15. My right foot wasn't so bad then so we left it alone. Now I fear getting it taken care of with a toddler running around. Recovery was awful.

I had a double bunionectomy at 16!! :?
ETA: or maybe it was 15? I thought it was 16 but I know I didn't have my license when I had the surgery so maybe it was 15. Either way I was young! So glad I did it though.
Tonight is our first night testing the Woombie. I suck at the SwaddleMe blanket thinggie at 3am and he wiggles out of it. So fingers crossed the Woombie works.
If that doesn't work try the easy swaddle from aden and Anais. I looove them for my little wiggle worm.
