We used to be puffs only, but then Wegmans stopped carrying them for a few months so we had to switch to Kleenex. Now H won't go back to puffs.
I haven't worked out in a week. I've done some stuff that could probably pass for a workout (going up and down the stairs 36 times carrying heavy plastic tote boxes? I think that counts), but no actual organized workout. I'm starting fresh Monday. Maybe I'll find my motivation again.
And since that's a lame confession, here's a better one: I'm annoyed that my anxiety meds make it impossible for me to cry on demand. That used to be my best defense for circular arguments that have no end in sight.
I'm pretty excited to go on a trip sans H, even though I'll have all 3 kids. I just think we have hit a point where a little distance for a few days will do us good.

I can't stay in my classroom to work during my prep because there is another class in there that period so I have no choice but to go to the workroom. Everyone in the department hangs out there during lunch but it is generally understood that it's time to get work done during prep and people are usually respectful.
The guy who has the same prep as me never stops talking. And he is one of those grumpy people who complains about everything and thinks everything is a conspiracy. It's driving me nuts. I will literally be in the middle of getting things marked and he interrupts me to show me a funny (though it's not really funny) e-mail that he is sending to other teachers I don't even know. Then he explains all the jokes ("it's an orangutan because she has red hair"). GEEZE. And I'm too polite to tell him to shut up.
The other day my department head was like "how's prep with ___ going?" and then he laughed and told me that he had prep with him last semester and finally started bringing headphones so he wouldn't bother him.
So I brought headphones with me to work today. I'm going to plug them into my computer and not even listen to anything.

I almost got a double nap today which never happens since Mel dropped her naps a year ago, but is sick. Just before she fell asleep, Thorinn woke up. I tried getting him back down but nope. He didn't go down because Mel started crying and I had to tell her I'd be back soon and that woke him. I'm peeved that DH didn't hear her crying and help and made me screw up nap time for Thorinn.
So I'll have sickie with her 103 fever and a boy who took just under an hour of a nap and DH in a mood. Great.
And we were supposed to go away to the family summer house this weekend, but that is not happening since Mel is showing no signs of her fever going down. It was the first long weekend DH has planned in a long time. I'm going to tell him to work Monday because it'll be a wasted day of sitting around doing nothing instead of using a day off for something fun.
I have a fb acquaintance who has been counting down the days until her grad school graduation for the last 100 days. Thankfully graduation was last night. She is probably one of those people who I should have set her settings to 'hide' awhile ago...
Eta: not that I don't think getting through grad school isn't a big accomplishment... The need to do a countdown for 100 days was the part I was commenting on
Here's mine. It's gross. Don't judge (haha) Soooo. Although we've been TV since January, this is the first real month of trying. This would mean a February baby which is a bit better for being a teacher. So I got an almost positive OPK the other morning. I figured I would get a positive a little later in the day, so I brought a strip to test with at school. Well, fast forward to 10am. I went to the bathroom and was going to pee, and test. Well, I don't get the cute smiley face OPKs. I just have strips. And no cup to pee in. And no way to find a cup. "Hey. I should make a cup. How would I do that"
Yes.......I peed in my hand. Tested. Didn't touch anything. Immediately left and washed my hand.
Don't shame me. I'm shamed enough. It was positive at least.

I like to pretend that my unsweet, decaf iced tea is the same as water. I really dislike plain water. So I tell myself my tea is better than nothing...

A friend just posted a link to a normalize breastfeeding project. Seeing the toddlers nurse is different than seeing a little baby nurse because I think they have more suction and head control or something. Anyway, the littles were nursing and kind of sucking the nipple away while they were looking at the camera and it was kind of triggering for me!!! It was a weird feeling. I really really hated nursing.
For clarification, I don't care if people nurse their toddlers. And it wasn't triggering in a way that I needed a WARNING. It was just a reminder that I have no guilt for not nursing Adeline.

Isn't tea dehydrating though?
I thought it was just the caffeine that made it dehydrating? I make decaf. But hey, like I said "I like to pretend it's the same as water". I totally realize it's not.

What about lemonade? Like half lemonade, half water? Or fruit infused water? Those special water bottles are out for summer now. Or what about Passion Tea? It's pretty good mixed with lemonade, just like starbucks.

I do those mio drops things in plain water. But then I hate myself for the artificial dyes. I just can't win with myself!
My fffc... I am not a cuddler at night time. I want my space. Dh is a cuddler and it makes him so sad that I won't cuddle to sleep. Sometimes I'll do it but gah, I don't like it. Can't we have all the cuddling and smothering before bedtime?

I think it's a pick your poison type of thing. Decaf tea and coffee has more chemicals to make it decaffeinated. Then there's artifical dyes in just about everything. So it's whatever you're comfortable with. I say as long as you're hydrated and peeing all day, it's all good.
My ob lets me do Crystal Lite but only if I do every other glass with water. I'm okay with that.

less hydrating that water. well actually I don't know.. if it's decaf maybe not
I know caffeinated beverages are less hydrating than water
but they don't DEhydrate
the only liquid that causes a negative water balance is alcohol. So if you were in the desert, dying of thirst coffee would be better than nothing. But not vodka.
How about herbal tea that's naturally decaf? Like mint or berry flavored?
I pretty much only drink blu Italy sparkling water. It has slight flavor of orange, lemon, and grapefruit, but its unsweetened. With this pregnancy I need bubbles in my drink. Weird bc all I wanted was flat water last time.

if you were without hope, I'd definitely prescribe vodka. It would ease the passage ... lol

I am so over parenting this at this point that this morning, C got oatmeal everywhere and instead of wanting to clean it up properly, I just threw his pajamas out, even though there's nothing wrong with them.
I want to put whiskey in my coffee and take a nap, and pretend I never have to feed another person again.

I found a plastic bag of pee clothes from daycare in the pantry the other day. No idea how long they've been there. I didn't even open it. I just threw it out.
