Really good interview this AM. As quickly as this organization moves, I wouldn't have been surprised to have a job offer email when o got off the plane tonight. That didn't happen, but eh. We'll see.
Ugh, home renovations move so slowly when my H has to work full time and we have to parent kids too. I really can't wait until C's new room is done, cleaned and ready for him to sleep in. H keeps saying he hopes to have it done by Sunday. I think that's pretty optimistic.
Also, how can I get a kid to stay in his bed once he knows how to climb out? He doesn't know his colors yet, so unfortunately one of those clocks won't work. But kid has been vacating nap and morning sleep super early now that he can crawl out of his crib. Baaaah.
My H and I are having another off night. I'm super emotional since I'm finally wrapping up this hellacious period and H is just over it. He went to bed early. Whatever.
Our bathroom remodel should be done tomorrow! Then we just have to paint.
I pulled out my pump for the first time with DS today. I pumped 3 ounces after I fed him! BF was so hard with DD at the beginning between latch, supply, shields, and MSPI. It is so nice to have an easier start this time.
I hate power couples. I'm having a crappy week already, I will own that. But I specifically cannot deal with power couples this week. Why do I have to live near so many of them?

We had this issue when Ds went to a big bed. We put a gate in his doorway and child proofed his room. so he is at least contained instead of roaming around at night or in the morning.
We also got an ok to wake clock so he knows to stay in his room quietly until that turns green. I think it is ok if he doesn't know his colors, you could just say stay in your crib until he light turns on?

I'm drinking on the front porch. It's a summery-feeling evening and tomorrow the weather is supposed to turn colder, so I'm trying to soak it in. I always feel melancholy at the end of summer - it feels like a big chapter closing because next summer the kids will be older and be doing different things so it won't be quite the same. Still fun, but different. Feeeelings!

This is semi-flammable: my dad is coming to see us sometime in November. One of my brothers was just here last weekend.
WE DONT HAVE TO TRAVEL 6 HOURS AT CHRISTMAS WITH TWO KIDS!!! I can justifiably say it's too much AND not feel guilty. That saves us 4-5 days of travel over the holidays. I am so happy. I feel shitty that my kids won't see my dad at Christmas but they will have seen him the month before and they aren't even 2...I feel like it's fine. And 6 hours in a car with a 20 month old and 7 month old sounds like hell. So I feel happy. Guilty but happy.

I'm in a bad mood this evening. Men always say they don't understand women, but I seriously do not understand how MH can stand in the kitchen and see the huge pile of dishes on the counter and think "ya know, I'm gonna play a video game". Seriously dude. I need some help here.
In good news though, I started tracking for WW again today and stayed in my points. So yay for that. Just a million days left.
kermit glad your DD is feeling better! I'm so jealous of your facial, I desperately need one.
I am obsessed with the Nike Frees that I got last week. They are simultaneously the most cushiony and lightest shoes ever. I want to buy another pair to wear all over and keep one pair for the gym.
I've spent like the past 15 months thinking Ben was a little behind developmentally and being fine with it but now I think he's actually a genius and I have no one to talk to about it except DH, except DH is geeking out about it too. He has like full conversations with us now. It is so amazing. I'm sure it's normal but genius!
I feel bad that Ethan seems boring in comparison. But he tastes like baby.
And I think I'm upping my Zoloft. I've been on only 50 mg for over 4 years now but I just cannot deal anymore. I'm too emotional/irritable etc. I don't see my doctor until next week so send me noncrazy vibes.
We were kind of off all day yesterday. DD wouldn't nap, I finally got her to nap, and DH woke her up in his haste to be helpful and to participate in parenting. I was frustrated so he ended up taking her out to run a few errands. They brought me back a drink from Starbucks as a surprise. She walked into the house carrying my coffee and said "mommy, we got you a surprise, I love you," and handed it to me. GAH, this age just kills me. So sweet. Can't stop thinking about it
I hear you. There was a woman walking with a screaming little kid today. She shrugged her shoulders at me, I laughed and responded "Three? I have one too."
She laughed.and complained about how worse three is than two..
pretend you're on the west coast and chit chat with me.
I got a forearm stand in yoga tonight! This pose was on my list of impossible things I never thought I would do when I started yoga 4 years ago. Yoga is not supposed to be about ego and party tricks but WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
