Wednesday PM randoms

[cincodemayo]

I know we are all in the same boat but this darkness at 5 pm thing is hitting me hard. I feel so depressed and lethargic and like we are going to be watching Frozen every night until spring comes.

I'm actually sitting at the library right now watching DS have a blast playing mail carrier with some other kids, but I just want to lay in bed. :/

My aunt and cousin visited last week. Cousin is single, no kids. We went to the beach, and DD and I were building sand castles. She ran into the water and announced "I have sand in my vagina!" Cousin was standing a few feet away and asked, "what did she say?" to which I responded "oh, nothing" and tried to look innocent. He was all "so I did hear that correctly." Yes, you did, lol.

E was a beast tonight so bedtime without books.

DH managed to say something snarky 5 seconds after I walked through the door. Dude! I just got home.

My college roommate was due on Sunday and isn't dilated at all so we're just going to hang out every day till she goes into labor. Tomorrow I'm bringing donuts so she doesn't murder me lol. Gah the end of pregnancy really is the worst.

I should throw away the leftover Halloween candy. Team No Self Control.

I'm going with the theory that the more I eat, the faster it will be gone.

[tulips]

I freaking hate when I open a delicious piece of Halloween candy (Reese cup) and it tastes like stupid Double Bubble gum. STUPID GUM RUINING THE GOOD STUFF.

[Marmee]

Made me laugh

Today I bought an overpriced hoodie at Athleta to try and make myself feel better about my postpartum body. It would be cheaper to just stop eating cookies. At least this purchase should help me keep my luxe status for my Banana Republic card. Silver lining?

[pugz]

feeling cranky. Work stress + starting another round of fertility treatments + canker sore in an uncomfortable spot + boredom.

[glitzy07]

I'm on my own tonight until H gets home in a few minutes. I managed to make dinner but then gave into the lazy and we're watching Tangled.

I slept like absolute crap last night and had a busy day today. I plan to head to bed the second C is down for the night.

[Brie]

Oh good, it's the annual "vote for my baby to be the next Gerber Baby!!1?!" post flood on Facebook.

[preppy]

Going into night one of solo parenting. Succeeded in doing bottles all day but I am intimidated by bottles at night. I pre made some in the fridge but it seems like s pain to go downstairs and warm it up when she wakes up. I might nurse for the MOTN feeds until DH is back depending on how my hives feel.

Also I'm totally lopsided since the bad boob I am down to two pumping sessions a day. That boob is now half the size of the one I'm still using. Hoping as I cut down on the left it starts to shrink to match!

[ssmjlm]

DH just went to bed at 8 since he's been getting up at 4:15 for work. More Halloween candy for me!

DD1 keeps calling me Mom today

She will call you Mommy again soon enough. Probably when she wants something lol, but still.

[chickens987]

A box arrived yesterday and H promptly hid it (my bday present clearly) but not before I saw the size. The size indicates it is not in fact a new iPhone, which is shocking because he's a total gadget head and usually assumes I'll want them too. Is it possible he actually bought me a purse?!?! I have 2 on my wish list so it preserves some semblance of surprise!

[osulori]

AJ is back in a "but I don't WANT to go down the stairs myself!" phase so like last time I bribed him. Before it was vanilla cupcake goldfish, now it's Count Chocula aka shockie. You can guess how it went when I told him he couldn't have any more.

Now he's in bed and I'm drinking a beer. And procrastinating on reading research articles for a work project.

[atarianna]

The only good thing about my H being OOT is bar food after the kids are in bed. Beer and jalapeño poppers. YUM!!!

[Pilsy]

My work BFF is on my nerves for a variety of reasons, another coworker is being a lazy ass and I keep getting roped into doing a lot of his work, and yet another insulted me as we were leaving tonight.

My poor H just got an earful about my work frustrations.

I keep telling myself to remember, I find my joy in other parts of my life.

We stick a bottle pre made in a cup of ice on the nightstand so we don't have to go down to the fridge. Invest in a bottle warmer for the nursery or wherever you feed her--we love the Dr. Browns one. GL!

DD and I were playing grocery store this evening and she was cracking me up.

Me (holding out a green leafy vegetable): would you like to buy some lettuce?
DD (with a withering glance): that's cabbage, Mommy.

I was just telling H the other day how much I hate this. I keep telling C to call me Mommy or Mama when he pulls out Mom. H doesn't understand because he prefers Dad to Daddy.

[bowies]

My eye makeup really was on point today.

Dd's 3rd birthday is next Sunday. Her party is next Saturday. We invited 15 kids and have only received 1 rsvp so far. I'm getting anxious that she won't have any friends at her party. I know there's so plenty of time to respond but man, all the feelings over here....

[indylady]

I kind of hate Old Navy's disorganization but they do have good deals. Baby and toddler socks were $1- very cute chenille stripes for Christmas.

[hermione]

I just spent the last two hours at work writing a cover letter and philosophy for a job posting. I don't feel even a little bit guilty.

[ewall]

I decided to spend two nights on the road this week rather than my usual one night. It's my second night, and I'm so damn bored. I should open my laptop to work, but I think I may stroll through Target instead.

I accidentally bought a giant box of pureed prunes from Amazon. DH reported that DS is now flat out refusing to eat them. Great!

[chickens987]

DD doesn't need us any more. She turned her nose up at the offered dinner, and proceeded to pull her stool up to the counter and make herself peanut butter and jelly instead.

[robyn]

Today is our 9 year wedding anniversary. To celebrate, DH went out to a work event at a bar and I'm putting DD to bed and then get to finish cleaning up her very first poop in the tub. Sadly, due to time and money constraints the poop in the tub is the only anniversary gift being exchanged this year #worstanniversarygiftever

[Marmee]

PDQ
Also since I whined about her today...I should AW her too. She got (the first time awarded this year) both of these...Artist & Citizen of the week. She got 100% on her art project & Citizen is voted by her classmates.

I booked Santa pictures a few months ago. I have wanted to do these since before I was pregnant, one of those photo shoots with "Santa" where your kid gets time to actually warm up to him, read a book together, share cookies, etc. I bought an outfit for her and everything. They might be rained out on Saturday and we can't make her rescheduled time because we are going to a fundraiser that I paid $75 for DD and I to attend for the local ballet theater on the date the photographer suggested as a rain date in her email tonight.
