It's pouring here today, it made getting out of the house difficult.
I'm incredibly annoyed at myself right now. I let myself get behind on 3 projects for school. One is due this weekend and the other two are due next weekend. I also found out I have my formal observation from my principal right after Thanksgiving break, so I have to complete and submit all the preobservation paperwork and plans before Thanksgiving. I'm going to be so busy the next 2 weeks.
H woke me up when he got home from work last night at 1am to tell me about his night. Normally I don't care but I couldn't fall back to sleep. So I've been up since then. Work is going to be fun. Plus I have a trainee. I'm not in the mood for a trainee today.
H and I used way too much data this month, so I can't use my phone to check in while I'm at work until our data resets on Friday. I have no idea what to do during my lunch time without my phone to look at!
H and I have been fighting most of the morning. Started when E was fussing and I was watching him on the monitor but H decided to dramatically fly out of bed and stomp over to his room to give him his paci. Totally necessary. Now he's making eggs (doesn't seem to be happy about "having" to make breakfast) and he got all pissy when I said we should probably leave the peppers and onions out of E's because God forbid he uses 2 pans. I'm so sick of him being crabby and dramatic and it's just making me feel super crabby and not want to be around him. I was kinda hoping the weekend apart would help but nope. Sigh. So frustrating.
Anyways, we are bringing the cats to the vet today so that should be interesting.
There is an excavator parked outside and I have no idea what they're doing. Hmm.
I'm obsessively watching coupon/deal websites for things to buy. I really need to back away from my phone. It's too easy to get sucked into buying tons this time of year because of the sales.

((hugs)) estrellita I hate when DH is moody. We had a similar weekend (mainly he was pisse about work and taking it out on me) and I was counting down til work on Monday (for him...so much easier when he's not around!). I hope your DH snaps out of it and you enjoy your day with E!

Ugh it's getting worse. I don't want to fight like this in front of E but omg he's off the deep end. Idk what his problem is lately. I don't know what to do

This was my Saturday. I left the house with the kids and didn't return until Dh left for work. Too much tension.
I just don't understand what his issue has been lately. I've also been sick for like 2 months so I'm feeling really drained right now. Blah.

So sorry. Maybe you guys can just go to separate corners of the house and not see or talk to each other. I know when DH gets like this I usually clean. I figure clean house = the less he has to bitch about. Sorry he' being an ass hole.

I would but he wants to do yard work and someone has to watch E. I really want to do laundry and some other things before we have to go to the vet but whatever I guess. It's just too hard to do it while trying to watch him!

Man I completely understand. How old is he now? like crawling yet? I loved our pack and play for stuff like that. Do you have anything like that? will he tolerate it? I would put L in there with a mess of stuffed animas and soft books in front of the TV, So I could wash dishes and stuff. Anya winning at parenting. lol

8.5 months. I've tried putting him in the exersaucer but if he's not in the mood he will just scream. He likes me to be on the floor with him. He is crawling now and our place is kind of a mess because we haven't had a chance to pick up and organize yet.
Hugs ((estrellita)), I hope that things calm down soon.
I can't stop ordering things on Amazon. I just placed an order for 2 pounds of Pez as a stocking stuffer for H. That's the entire order, Pez. But with Prime shipping, I don't see why not lol.

ugh. I hate how everything goes in the mouth at this age. We use to joke about the kids finding "floor food". DD 1 loved the exersaucer but DD 2 wasn't a fan. have you a swing or seat that you can set him in and he can still SEE you. L was OK just as long as she could see me.

He's been finding random things on the floor like bits of plastic from a wrapper so we're trying to get everything picked up but also watch him super closely lol. I don't even know where half this stuff comes from! He won't just sit in a swing or chair unless he's tired. Now that he can move around that's all he wants to do!

estrellita- Sorry friend We have been having similar issues. I know for us we both feel like we are doing everything and not feeling appreciated by the other person. Maybe your DH feels the same way? Maybe he's stressed about all you have to do with the new house and finances? Either way, no excuse to be an ass. Sorry you guys are having a rough time. I have been sick the past 2+ wks and pretty much take care of C 100% and yet DH expects our house to be emaculate for people coming to see it/buy it. Totally unrealistic and he has zero concept of trying to get things done with C so that makes it even more frustrating. As for trying to get things done...sometimes I bring toys wherever I need to be (kitchen, bathroom, laundry, etc and place C there with me and it keeps him entertained for awhile. Or you can try playing music and singing to him while you do you chores. But yeah, trying to get things done and keep them entertained can be a challenge. ((hugs))

Got my flu shot last night, and my arm is still sore.
Looking forward to drinks with a former coworker after work, and to sleeping in tomorrow morning!
My next door neighbor is a nurse and she said that a lot of people were complaining about this this year. I wonder what is making every one so sore this year?
It's changed this year. For one, it's a quadrivalent vaccine instead of tri, so it protects against 4 stains of flu instead of 3. It also has some different components.
But yes, a very common complaint. My arm was sore for days and I had a bruise for a week, but I blame the bruise on the (lack of) skull of the nurse who gave mine.
Reading the rest of the thread, ok what is the deal with all of our husbands? Mine had been moody too and it makes me not want to be around him at all. He picks fights over stupid things, then accuses me of picking fights. No, H, I'm just responding to you and you don't like my answer.
((estrellita)) I'm sorry you guys are fighting. You have been through so much recently! Sounds like tension is high. I hope E gives you a break too.
I've been putting off grocery shopping for days and I have to do it today if we want food in this house. Ugh. Waiting for G to take a nap before we go. I like to shop first thing in the morning so I'm really not looking forward to getting out again.

luv2rn4fun that's definitely a big part of it. I was alone with E all weekend and I felt like H didn't appreciate it at all. Things seem slightly better now so hopefully they don't get worse again.

((hugs)) I hope things stay calm. If it makes you feel any better, I think most guys are just clueless when it comes to babies (at least my DH is...he is a great father he just doesn't get/understand all that I have to deal with/worry about on a daily basis because he's not around and doesn't hardly ever watch C for any length of time). DH made a comment the other day that he thought his life should be easier because I SAH...well, we have a baby and your life didn't get harder so I call that winning

Are we married to the same man!?! Seriously, DH picks fights constantly over the stupidest things and it drives me crazy. I am so over it and have communicated it to him. Love him, he means well, but he's constantly negative and critical lately (more than normal). Doesn't help that we haven't had much quality time or date time (our last non-kid date was over 4 months ago) or sex lately so I think we're both shorter with each other than normal.

H is great with E, so it's not that. I think he thinks he does more than me. The other night he asked if I'd put E to bed and the way he asked was as if he ALWAYS does it so it's not fair. Well I get up earlier than him to make sure I get E ready in the morning, so I think it's only "fair" he puts him to bed. H has just been really selfish lately and it's been bothering me. It's nothing big, but all those little things that add up. Things like he stopped at the gas station and gets himself a pop or candy bar but doesn't think about getting me something. Things like that. And he asks soooooo many questions I get so frustrated sometimes, lol. Anyways, today seems slightly better but I'm still not getting as much done as I'd like. Tomorrow I have no plans so I'll try to get more done then!
