Maternity leave is over. I start my new job today. I feel ok about it, but there's definitely some anxiety mixed in there.
I'm rocking DS back to sleep before I go get ready and I'm having a hard time stopping.
MIL is going to bring him to me at lunch today. I'm hoping it will help ease the transition to see him midday.
I didn't realize until last week how much I was going to miss him. I feel like I'm going to miss out on so much. He's changed a ton this week. I think I would like the SAHM thing, but it's not an option, so I haven't let myself think about it too much.
I have a sore throat and it hurts to talk, so I'm staying home today. I work at a bookstore, so no option to close myself off in an office. I feel fine besides the sore throat, though, and didn't see any white spots in my throat last night, so I don't know if it's allergies or something else.
DD was sick over the weekend - had cough and then a random fever Saturday morning that was gone by the afternoon and then it came back early Sunday morning, but gone again by the afternoon. I sent her to school today because she slept fine last night, but I'm hoping that it doesn't randomly come back today.
I am also wondering if maybe it's an ear infection - I never know. We have an appointment with an audiologist tomorrow because she failed her 3 yo hearing test and I'll feel like such a jackass if I show up there with her having an EI.

Oh my god, thank heavens it was the last Monday that Lucy had to get up for school. She was a total bear, actually, alternating between angry bear and weeping for my parents' deceased cat. I just don't know.
Dress rehearsal tonight! I'm nervous bc they're calling for horrendous thunderstorms right when we get to the auditorium. Greaaaaat. It happens every year.
There's a lot of people schooling others in a very serious way on odd topics around here lately.
I left some doughnuts and an unsigned thank you note for a group of guys that really helps out our department last night. When I came in this morning, they were waiting for me at the back door to say thank you, and that they knew who left them, whether or not I signed the card. It really made my day to do something kind just to show my appreciation, and it was pretty cool they were able to guess who they came from.
My bathroom is painted a really saturated blue, I LOVE my new light fixtures, my shower curtain is still my favorite thing in my house, and tonight I'll have an actual mirrored medicine instead of a hole in the wall AND I'll have towel bars that match my light fixtures. All this to say I love my bathroom. I just want to hang out in there all the time.

5 years ago today I found out I was pregnant with DS ( I remember dates like crazy. It's not like I have it written down). I am feeling kind of sad/melancholy about it. We have tentatively been discussing TTC again in fall but we both go back and forth about if it's the right thing. So I guess I'm just sad today because I don't know if I'll ever experience that feeling again. Blah, I just need to shake it off but it caught me off guard this morning.

Big HUGE hugs. I had a hard time transitioning back. The anticipation was the worst and I feel the same way about SAH, and it is just not an option. You will have hard days and you will have great days. I will say, there were days where she was super cranky and I thought "better you than me" which seems awful but it was nice to get a mental break. 5 months later and I still wish I could SAH but it has gotten easier. Good luck at your new job. The day will fly by!
I woke up well-rested for the first time in WEEKS, but just as I was about to leave the house, I got hit by awful nausea. It settled enough for me to come into work, but I still feel like something isn't right in there. Luckily yesterday was my official last day breastfeeding, so I can take pepto again. WOO!

Thursday is my mom's surgery. I am so nervous about her recovery. I am afraid she will try to do too much too soon. It's been a tough few weeks with my grandfather (her father) passing and the impending surgery. Plus her marriage is in the shitter.
And to not just be totally negative, I had fallen behind on my biki*no bo*dy mommy work outs with everything but doubled up this weekend and didn't take an off day and now I am caught up. That plus getting in my steps for the last 2 days and eating better has me feeling pretty good.
Excel has crashed 3 times this morning already. Yay Monday!!
We had a good quiet weekend, which was nice. We're busy for the next 4 weekends. I think I'm going to try to throw in a day to work from home somewhere in there.

Good luck at your new job! Everything you are feeling is totally normal. I was such a wreck when I had to go back to work. It will all be fine, just push through the days and know that your baby will always know who mom is. So many hugs to you today.
My weekend was insanely busy. I need another weekend day to get my house in order and clean. My mom comes on Wednesday for DS kinder graduation and I am already dreading her visit.

H and I are nearly as handy as toddlers when it comes to home maintenance and repairs. We have more failed attempts at hanging shit on the walls than successes. We had to buy spackle to repair the holes. For Father's Day I'm finding a handyman to keep on speed dial. I'm starting to think buying a house was a mistake.
I am having some separation anxiety of my own today. I leave tomorrow on my first business trip since DS was born. I am sure he will be fine while I am crying on the way to the airport.
DS has a pimple looking rash on his bum last night. I was scared it was HFM since that's what it looked like when he got it last year. I put a mixture of stuff on it and it was gone this morning. YAY! I cannot express how relieved I am.
He was horrible yesterday so I waved very cheerfully at drop off. Bye DS! I hope he can get some energy out and we can reset him back to normal.
Really random, I feel dumb, but I really can't figure it out what is going on in this picture on Verona's blog. All I can see is a (dead?) bunny(?) in a barrel.

Do you look up directions for stuff before you do it? I usually look up something on Pinterest or YouTube and check out a few tutorials if it's something I haven't done before. It helps a lot.
Yes. :hangs head in shame: bathroom racks should not be this damn difficult! H broke a drill bit hanging blinds. We are just not handy people, but damn if we aren't trying.
Ugh. Our van took a shit between the ceremony and reception of a wedding Saturday night. We were able to pull it in a parking lot of a car repair place and just got the fucking estimate since they were closed all weekend. $500. Extra ouch because we have a connection closer to home (it's currently about 25 miles away) to do labor for $40/hour vs $100/hour and get the parts for cost - but we would have to have it towed and H gave them the go ahead to start working on it for some stupid fucking reason.
And then he rear ended someone in our working car and the hood is all jacked. He feels like shit and is so upset.
So, $500 to fix the van, $500 deductible to fix the car, and $400 to get the girls registered in summer daycare at the Y. My poor bank account.
sewf - this is the first year I've ever had throat issues due to allergies. It was so bad at one point, I lost my voice. I found vitamin C drops helped as did a lot of hot tea with honey. Hope your throat feel better soon!
We had the best weekend. Went out the driving range, and spent all day yesterday watching movies in the sunroom.

It's possible it's allergies. DS and I both have slightly runny noses, too, and some congestion (seriously, universe, why both?!) I'm going to have some tea with breakfast.
Either FI put the quilt on the bed the wrong way or it majorly shrunk in the wash. I can't decide and I'm not interested in taking it off and putting it back on. I'll have to revisit this on Saturday when I change the sheets again.
