Today is day #2323242934924 of no sleep. It's 5 AM and I just had a pretzel bun from costco and some tea because I've been up since 3? and was starving.
Speaking of sleep deprivation, this happened this week. I went to target. I was looking at the vitamin aisle and I started pushing a cart to the next aisle. A lady comes up and says, excuse me, that's my cart. I was so embarrassed and I apologised over and over. H was looking at me, all laughing and he's like, sequins, we didn't even take a cart. I nodded and finished apologising and then turned to H and said, "ok, so where is our cart?" H and the lady looked at me like I'm crazy. I think I also freaked H out a bit because I'm usually not this vacant, lol. Anyway. How I've underestimated sleep all my life!! Never again.
Lol! Sleep deprivation is no joke.
One time h and I were shopping with the kids and theo was sitting in the cart. I was pushing the cart and h was wandering around and randomly started pushing this OTHER person's cart with a kid Theo's age sitting in it. He didn't get far before he realized wtf was happening, and he apologized like crazy. The dad was like lolol, but the mom gave us some major stink eye.
I realized last night that I am extremely lucky. I was just staring at my son playing baseball while being coached by my H and I was holding DD in my arms while she twirled my hair around her little finger and my mom and IL's were next to me cheering DS on and.... I am a really really lucky person. My entire life is filled with love. I need to remember that more often.
This is well said! I'm here too - I'm really trying to be more mindful of how great life really is and not get bogged down by other stuff.

Someone who graduated the year after me (high school) was shot and killed over the weekend. The tragedy whoring going on on FB is awful. It's definitely a terrible tragedy with some holes in the story, but 95% of my newsfeed is articles about this and his obit.
I dreamed the Village People moved in next door and my H was pissed because they kept giving free concerts in their backyard for their friends every night. lol. It was weird and now I have YMCA in my head.

This is more of a confession. H and I completely dislike DD's teacher. We've had conference after conference trying to help her help us with DD. We have went no where. She doesn't return emails or notes. I get it, she has a difficult class this year. My kid isn't a saint and is part of her frustration.
I brought up TA week to H. He said "I hope the other kids appreciate her more than we do." We aren't sending anything in. I may get a small box of chocolates and a card for the last day.

I'm kinda side eyeing my friend for organizing her baby shower. I just got a save the date FB invite for it from her. The event is in August.
I understand she's excited and it took them a couple years to get pregnant but no. My other friend has tried to tell her to relax and that all of us will throw her an amazing shower but she's not listening.
I almost never go to the doctor, but went recently for blood work and an annual exam. $50 for a co-pay is crazy town and I don't really want to spend that kind of money on medical care.
Apparently I have a deviated septum and that is the root of all my ear issues. So I have to use Flonase once a day for a couple of weeks to see if that helps. I'm not convinced, but we'll see what happens I guess.
Dd is supposed to have a soccer game tonight but it is currently foggy and rainy. I'm really hoping they cancel the game so we don't have to run around like chickens with our heads cut off this afternoon.
Ds woke up stuffy yesterday and today. I just might throw things if he's getting another cold. That will be 3 months in a row with a 4 week reprieve in between each one if he gets sick. H isn't over the one he got as a result of last month's cold and I'm still dealing with the ear issues that were a result of last month's cold. I can't even spend the weekend disinfecting the house because dd has a soccer game Saturday morning, I have to run all over town getting party stuff, then her party that evening and she's having a friend sleep over.
I had my first gbcn dream last night! I got really drunk and wrote all this awful, awful stuff about all of you, then woke up in the morning and my stomach dropped. But I thought "huh. I didn't actually mean any of that. I think I can just apologize and everything will be okay." So I tried to just keep posting, and the only one who would talk to me was tators because she hadn't read the drunk rant yet. When cville linked it for her, she was all "Eesh. I can't talk to you anymore either ... hope you understand ... kbye ..." I considered sticking it out but I didn't want to be the next amoosed so I sadly deactivated. WOMP.
I have been getting multiple calls from a scam group claiming to be some federal grant agency (there have been news stories, I know 100% it's a scam). I have blocked multiple New-York-based numbers and every time they try again from another number. Once I just kept asking what federal agency they were with until the guy hung up on me.
I finally lost it this morning when another one came in (after two last night). I yelled and cursed and demanded my number be taken off their list. And the guy kept saying things like, "'Take my number off your list'? What does that mean?" and "I just want to talk to you! I like you!"
I was really hoping that if I threw a fit and was vulgar and awful that they'd move on to other targets. But the dude seemed completely undisturbed and I was the one who ended up hanging up. And blocking another number. Siiigh.
I have been really crabby the last few days. No reason (not PMS), just not in a very good mood, but only really at work. I haven't wanted to chat with anyone like I normally do. I just want the next few days to go by, I have Friday off for both the fact that daycare is closed and it's my birthday. I don't really want to be 35, maybe that's why I'm crabby.
I have a gift card I got for my birthday last year that I haven't used, might do that if my mom can watch Kayla for a few hours. I've been holding off getting my hair cut knowing I had the gift card to use. I might do a pretty dramatic cut.

It's teacher appreciation week at daycare. So they put up signs when you walk in of every teacher and their likes/favorites etc.
I KNOW the purpose is so that parents will get something for the teachers. But my oldest in in pre-k and has at least 4 teachers throughout the day. And my youngest has at least 3 teachers and 1 helper she's super close to. That's a lot of gifts to be buying in May.
I'm also really pissed that they do this the week of Mother's day. It would be nice if this week mom's didn't have to also worry about getting teacher's gifts. Because sorry, but I bet only 1% of the father's at daycare would even think twice about needing to get them something. It's on the moms. I just think it's bad timing

Hey, its my birthday, too!
Enjoy your day off. I can relate to how you're feeling, too. Hope your week gets better.

Yesterday I tried to start the car with Sparkybaby's Monkey wub-a-nub pacifier. Oops.
She has slept from 10:30pm - 5:15 am the past two nights. PLEASE, Flying Spaghetti Monster, let this be the start of sleeping through the night? AND, she did it in her Mama Roo! So not sleeping on Mommy all night long! (Ok, so I brought her onto the couch with me after both morning wakeups, I wanted snuggles, darnit!) Now, if I could only get her to embrace her crib.

I put together 16 candy bars between the teachers at daycare and regular school. Total cost was $14, so not too bad. I hate this time of year.
If you are looking for a cute, cheap option, let me know. I'll email you my candy bar wrapper template.
yes, please! I'm trying to be totally cool like I don't care, but every day I drop off and pick up, I'm feeling more guilty.
