I've had weird insomnia the last few nights and I think I've figured it out. I've been trying to be better about taking my vitamins lately. I always take them right before bed and just started a new bottle with some sort of (supposed) metabolism booster. Umm, yeah they have caffeine. I can't even have an afternoon coffee without it keeping me up and here I am, popping vitamins with caffeine, right before bed. This is what I get for just picking up a good deal at Sam's and not reading the bottle more closely.
Everyone in work is wrecking my head. Like seriously fucking me off with their stupidity.
May have something to do with a) their stupidity and/or b) the fact that I didn't have any time without kids the entire weekend, which included having a niece and nephew added to my 2 and dh away since 6am yesterday and not back until late tonight (which he neglected to mention until late Sat afternoon...)
Too funny! One of my friends lives near the Greenfield Bridge they're about to blow up, we'll be there for the demolition (by happenstance, we're usually in town for New Years Eve). We should get coffee some time we're there! Like I said, we're there at least 3 times a year, that's bare minimum.

I finally got the guts to ask if we can have a discount on daycare when 2 comes. No dice. It's going to be $1600 per month for an in home daycare. It's going to be tight. We are strongly considering pulling DS to go a preschool setting instead. I'm stressed. Luckily time is on our side right now.
I told H that I wasn't going to buy anything for the girls until Black Friday. Then I saw really cute boots on 6pm and Audrey is outgrowing all of shoes so I justified the purchase.
So if a researcher ends a scholarly article with their full signature, including their e-mail address, it's cool to e-mail them about said article, right?

They would fall all over themselves, especially if you inflate their ego with how brilliant you think they are.
I have a phone call today to talk with my boss about when I'm going back to work.
My 12 weeks of leave literally ends in the middle of a big conference we put on every year that is OOT. Before I went on ML she said no pressure to go, but since then our conference coordinator has left (I think), so I'm pretty sure I need to go now. That means I need to bring my mom DD with me. Maybe DS2 also. I'm not sure. DS1 can't miss school, so I've got to coordinate care for him while we'd be gone. Probably between my MIL and DH taking time off work.
It's just a super stressful way to come back from ML. No easing back in. It's a crazy event with like 250 attending and at least 10 hour days each day with a 12 week old who likely won't be STTN.
Today is DH's last day of paternity leave and he is going with DD to her ECFE class while I hang out at Starbucks with the baby and finish writing thank you notes. DD is losing her mind and keeps exclaiming "daddy coming to school with me!"
I am simultaneously excited and terrified to be on my own with two kids tomorrow.
I am really feeling for H right now. He finished the marathon yesterday but around mile 23 he started cramping, and then like 3/4 of a mile later he says his body basically "broke down." His legs, etc. just totally locked and he literally walked 2 miles to the finish line and barely a walk at that, more like dragging his feet. It took him an hour to do the last 2 miles because of that. Anyway, we are all super proud of him for finishing and he is also really proud of himself for finishing, but he's just really questioning himself and I feel awful. He just wants a reason for why it happened to him when he was feeling great the entire time leading up to it and never had any issues like that before. He just keeps replaying it and thinking, "If I did x or y or z would it have been better?" Ugh. My husband can do literally anything (okay, maybe not load the dishwasher ) so I think he is just really confused and frustrated that he didn't do it the way he thought he would.
I think sometimes your body just hits a wall and there is nothing you can do. especially if you have been training hard. I am sorry he is taking it so hard, but he rocks for being able to finish a marathon! Was it his first?
I am nursing a coffee and looking at jobs on Linkedin while DS naps in his mamaroo. He is making cute little baby noises in his sleep. It's kind of fun fixing my resume and applying for jobs at our new location. (Or at least looking at them)
I am not sure what we are going to do today, DH is still in bed. He was up all night working on something for his job so he took first shift, which gave me 5 full hours of sleep. Yay! But for real, I am jealous of Farmvillelover. Not fair!
Benefits of not teaching your kid anatomically correct terms. DD1 said she wanted to stand up and go to the potty like M does at daycare. DD1: M has a crazy butt. He has a popcorn on it. Popcorn = corn on the cob = penis
H just left for his first day at his new job. Dd and I are laying in our King Size(!) bed. She's watching Daniel Toger on H's tablet while I read the Internet. I need to get up and eat something.
DD and I fly home today. It's her first time on an airplane and she gets motion sickness in a car. I'm nervous about this, MMM!
I woke up with the worlds worst headache, and now I feel nauseous too. I'm really paranoid that it is a shunt malfunction, so I'm actually praying it's just a migraine. Got out of bed to take mess and have some breakfast, but I think I'm heading back to bed soon.
So bummed we're missing Boo at the Zoo today! And fingers crossed it's not a shunt malfunction, since I need to be healthy enough to stand up in my best friends wedding next week. And I'm super looking forward to our kid free weekend.

The Wall is real. Did he fuel/hydrate enough during and before the race? That's usually the culprit for that kind of crash.

Yes! He actually drank a lot more than he normally does during long runs. And he did eat, though I can't remember what. I think he had a bagel in the morning and then like a banana and a couple gel packs while he ran.
COuld have been the extra hydration/not enough salt so his muscles were no longer properly contracting/relaxing. Assuming he does another one, he should try a few different fuels. You can't (really) over-fuel during a race but you can easily under-fuel!
Congratulations to him though Amazing accomplishment.

Poor guy. What rotten luck! I hope he can feel proud of himself anyway. Finishing when you feel that awful is much more impressive/shows more determination than breezing through to the end while feeling great.
I dropped DS off at his new daycare this morning. Left and realized I did not tell them when he would want his next bottle. I wrote down when he ate breakfast, but not his last bottle. Oh well. He starts yelling pretty loud when he wants a bottle so I'm guessing they will figure it out.
He's in the same classroom as the kid of my childhood nemesis. Disadvantage of living in a small town.

We're going on a classroom visit at DS1's new preschool today! He's so excited. He was kicked out of his original preschool after four days, so I'm nervous. But I've heard nothing but great things about this school so I'm hoping we have a better experience here.
@mrswindycity I'm sorry to hear about your H's finish. But you know what this means? Say goodbye to your weekends because he's going to be training for his comeback race soon.
