So far sleep on the Boston trip has sucked every bit as much as I thought it would. DD didn't sleep the entire xc flight until our final approach and taxi. At bedtime, she didn't go to sleep until 1 a.m. which, even on west coast time, is crap.

Oh no, that's too bad, lolo. Hope everyone gets more sleep tonight.
L has "STTN" the last two nights but has been up for the day so, so early! T-W he slept 7:00-4:30 and last night was 7:15-4:10. He wakes up happy and resists any attempts to be put back to sleep. He is happy if I turn on his lamp and give him a few books to look at and at least I can doze a bit that way. He wakes up this early no matter what time he goes to bed and I'm worried he isn't getting enough sleep. Plus it makes for such a long day!
Can I do anything to fix this? Probably not, I imagine. *yawn*

We tried to push bedtime back slowly but it was slow to see success and success was wake ups at 530.
DH has a work happy hour tonight, so in on my own for dinner, bath and probably bedtime. I'm skeered. With DD cluster feeding all evening, I have no idea how to make dinner, bath DS, and put him to bed. DD wants to be held the whole time!
And before y'all start saying "your DH should skip the HH and come home!", it's a HH for appreciation of his team, who's been working 10-12 hour days for weeks. Since DH's their boss, it would be rude to skip it.

Me too! It is his new school's first GTG and so I can't even complain, lol, he totally has to be there. And I only have one kid, so I shouldn't complain. And yet...

I thought I put on brown pants this morning. Halfway to work I realized they were black. They go great with my brown shoes and jacket. I also resemble a bumblebee with my yellow striped shirt. :/
Ugh. The only good nap I can count on ds2 taking is the morning nap. And it was 5 minutes long. Guess I might as well plan a long trip to nowhere in the car.
Last week I posted about applying for a job that is a higher position, reporting to my current boss but a lot less flexibility for hardly any more money. I decided not to apply and yesterday my boss asked me to be the search committee chair for the open position so I must not have even been on the radar to him as possible applicants, so me Not applying was meant to be. But I'm glad he asked me to chair it
I wore a dress to work today. Pumping in a dress is no fun. It's currently hiked up and I'm sitting on an extra cardigan I had in my office. So glamorous.

I see nothing wrong with this.
It's not the most horrible outfit ever, but how the heck did I manage to think I put on brown pants until I was 10 miles from home?
I am in love with our soft new carpet. If we ever move again, I'm insisting that everything is painted and the carpet is replaced before we move in. It is finally feeling truly clean and ours and we've lived here two years.
We have absolutely nothing planned during the day today and it's wonderful. DD has her first soccer game later, it's going to be cute!
More of a vent than a random but I've had this horrible cough all week, and it wouldn't bother me that much except that whenever I cough or sneeze particularly hard, I also pee myself. It's so frustrating.
Of course the morning the adults needed to get up early before the babies to get ready, the babies woke for the day at 6am. And I fed them at 2:45 because the idea of trying to fight it for the long term good was too exhausting. We had eliminated that feeding.... Argh.
Weather still looking crappy for my vacation. The one where we want to spend a lot of time wandering and going to playgrounds and stuff. Fuck.
After I posted in the MOTN thread that the night was going so much better, DS decided he wanted to be up for almost two hours just making noise and rolling around in his crib. When I finally decided to coax him back to sleep myself, I discovered he'd taken a giant poop. Awesome fun at 5 am. He is still sleeping now though. Today is going to be messed up at this rate.
I am so completely over this internal job switch from part time to full time. People applied who have zero shot at getting it so now I have to do a phone interview with my boss - who I sit 15 feet from in our office space - before a face to face interview with the Director, my boss, and another person. IT'S SO STUPID.
DD was up early today so she got to watch Daniel Tiger while I got ready. She loves Daniel Tiger so much. We hear a lot of "watch Daniel, watch Daniel".
I am getting my hair cut tonight. I love freshly cut hair!

Crap. I made L take a morning nap so he isn't miserable in the gym child care while I have my first trainer session from 11-12 (he has been starting nap at noon). I just realized I forgot to get the diapers out of his room and I wanted to start them in the wash. I debated sneaking in to get them, but the risk of waking him up isn't worth it.
I was supposed to pump at 730 and it is 943 and I am still not pumping because babies are just alternating screaming. This is a bad way to start the day.
My Mom has been in the hopsital since 4/12 and is having open hert surgery on Mon to either replace or repair her mitral valve. We had to cancel our Disney cruise-supposed to leave that same day My parents still want us to go but I would be too worried and stressed the whole time to enjoy myself and the kids. We will be rebooking for the fall-thank goodness for travel insurance!

I love that DS loves the outfits I buy him. I just bought him orange shorts and I showed them to him and he was like. "Oh MOMMY Thank you so much! Those are amazing!"
I am so fucking sick of being pregnant and in constant pain. I am seriously considering not having another baby even though we want 3 because it just hurts so much.
