Sorry monkeybabe. I'm going to the tire shop to hopefully just patch our tire since there's a nail in it. This morning when putting air in the tires actually asked if he needs to take the cap off? Um us if you want to put air in
Today I sold one of our diaper genies and when the lady came I asked if it was her first. It was and I was able to unload one of our baby bathtubs on her, too (free - I didn't care). I'm enjoying getting rid of things.
Had a delivery today. It was MILs birthday present. Some Murano glass thing. I had to pay nearly $50 in duty and taxes! WTF, DH? She asked for this specific thing and I think it costs more than any birthday present he has ever bought for me. I'm sure she'll love it though. I hope she puts it somewhere the kids can't get to it and break it.
G slept in an hour longer than usual today so I'm an hour late to work, but I decided she must need it since she never sleeps in. A is exhausted as well...long weekend for everyone. I hope they're not getting sick and are just tired.
I'm frustrated at DH right now...he forgets how to parent every time he travels. We have nearly a week after his return before he remembers he's supposed to be the grownup. Sigh.

I'm SO freaking tired. Andrew is napping right now, and I'm tempted to as well. BUT, my flight is at 6:00am tomorrow morning. If I nap, I'll never fall asleep tonight. Then I'll be exhausted as all hell tomorrow morning.
DH is screwed at work. Beyond screwed. Like, there is zero chance of them being remotely ready by opening. So, I canceled all of my city plans, packed my tool belt, and I'm going straight to work from the airport. It's not going to be enough, though. I feel so bad for him. It is absolutely, without a doubt, 100% not his fault. But he takes such pride in the work that he does. He's having a very hard time doing work that he's embarrassed by, but the whole design team has left him no other choice.
Andrew is taking an super long nap. I heard him stirring at the 45 minute mark but let him be for a few minutes and he put himself back down to sleep. It's very nice but almost impossible to leave the house on days when he does this.
I'm eating an oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookie for breakfast.
I saw those the other day. How are they?!
One of the girls at work makes them and they're really good. She used the mega-stuffed ones this time. They end up really big, so she always cuts them in half.
Usually your body just absorbs it. I was further along than you but there was no trace of the twin when I delivered.
That is what my Ob said is likely- that it was being absorbed since there was no bleeding. She did say if I really wanted, that at my next appt (16 weeks) I can have an ultrasound if I want. So initially we were going to do an elective gender ultrasound at another place, so I'm trying to figure out what we should do!
I had monthly growth us and while the sac and fetus was there it slowly got smaller and smaller. They never pointed it out though, I just saw it early on after its heart stopped.
I tried putting Luke down for one of his naps today after rocking and swaddling him and it lasted 20 min in the swing. I'm trying to be positive and count that as a small victory. Lily and I got to snuggle and watch Dora while he napped. I'm going to try this at least once a day.
Of course now he's asleep in the carrier so we made apple pie cookies. I hope they turn out good, about to get them from the fridge and bake them! They are pretty healthy, less than 100 cal each.
H just fired our cleaning lady. She's so judgmental and stresses me out for at least a day before and after she comes. I feel so freeeee!
Judgey about what?
My house and my ability to keep it clean. She always made it seem like it was a pigsty when in reality my house is pretty clean. She just wanted more work. And when I would tell her what I needed cleaned she would say she would decide what needed it.
She also would spend waaaay too much time cleaning the kitchen. Like a total of 4 hours between her and her helper. I've cleaned that kitchen top to bottom and it took me a little over an hour. So she would never finish the whole house as a result and then tell me she needed to come back extra to finish since the rest of the house really needed a good cleaning.

This is why I can't bring myself to hire someone! And my house is likely on another planet of pigsty than your's lol.
I interviewed for a job in another district this morning and just got the word I got the job! I'm super excited, less traffic to deal with and in the same area as where DD will be going to school. I am dreading telling my supervisor and coworkers. I know they will not be happy, but I need to do what's best for me and my family. Now, I need to decide when to tell my supervisor. I'm thinking of going at the end of the day tomorrow, if she is in.

Ours is a flat rate no matter how long they take, and is a service so there's never a missed day from them being sick. It's worked well for us!

That's amazing. He's carpooling tomorrow so I can go get us new tires. We needed then anyways, so I'm happy, but mister "I've been driving for a year and a half, and you've been driving for a decade, but clearly know nothing" was balking. Now he can't.

Yeah, I think I'm going to try a service now. It's a little more expensive, but I feel like more reliable too.
rjamz how dirty can that kitchen possibly be! It's so new! It's not like the tiles need a deep scrub or something.
Exactly - yeah, it needed a big clean right when the work finished to get rid of the dust, but she did that already. She doesn't need to do it every single week. It's clean!! I am a clean person with a clean house!
We are leaving for DR on Friday morning, and I have very little packed. I need to get my ass in gear. I also looked at the weather which was a mistake. Rain forecasted every day. I'm hoping this is not the case...
