I'm really hating DH's boss right now. There are other people who live closer to this client and could take over the project at this point. I'm tired ofsolo parenting so much and dealing with the effects of DH being beat from a 3hr commute & challenging work.
Ugh, sorry @starry. I've definitely had a few of those moments with DD since the baby came.
DH started his new job today after an awesome two week break in between old/new jobs. We had several fun family outings and it was so helpful to have a second set of hands around. Really, it was perfect timing so soon after DS was born - almost like a second paternity leave. Unfortunately the new job is starting out with a bang and he's flying out for a business trip tonight. I'm a little nervous about being on my own with both kids for 3 days, but also psyched to starfish the bed and catch up on my tv shows.

I was supposed to hang out with my girlfriends tomorrow but I think DS is going to have to stay home with me. Yay since I already have the day off but boo because I thought it would be a kid free day.
It is a good thing I don't have any daily goals around not eating chocolate/candy. Today is my 1-year workiversary and as is customary I put out a pound of chocolate goodies. But my desk is not at a convenient location, so mostly I am stuffing my face.
To be fair I also think the digging into Rubio's personal financial history is a little gauche. But come on, Carson is just making shit up. Palestinians caused the Holocaust? The Pyramids are for storing grain and somehow ANCIENT ALIENS are involved?

I was getting ready to pump some milk, but DS was losing his mind. So in desperation I just breastfed him. Guys... GUYS... it actually worked. He latched, and it wasn't horrible. He remembered how to do this and I wasn't a hopeless lump. Thanks Zoloft!
DD is sick with her first cold and its a doozy. She will not tolerate being put down for any reason. The last several nights have been horrific and i think I got 2 hours total each night. She has a current sleep cycle of about 63 minutes unless you put her down when she is surely sound asleep. So I have been holding her nonstop since like 230 this morning except when DH took her so I could shower.
Oh and DS got sent home from daycare for biting a kid and kicking another after doing the same thing yesterday. Awesome. Apparently thee is a policy that they send them home after 2 biting incidents. Ummm ok. I feel like a im failing him - since DD was born and several of his friends moved room he has been struggling at school
Damn...the first person to look at the place & fill out a rental application is bringing his parents now to look at the condo. He's a nice kid and all but damn, I do NOT want to be dealing with parents...at all. BE A BIG BOY damn it!

I had bloodwork today to check my progesterone and estrogen levels. My progesterone is low even being on 2 doses of endometrin a day so now I have to add in a 3rd dose. Of course now I have lost all hope of this being a successful cycle and am miserable and I have to wait another week for my beta. Fucking IF sucks.
I had to go to the office today for IT support. I needed to log into my computer, but my password expired. I had to log into the network to change it, but needed T RSA token to log in remotely and I got a new phone so I didn't have it downloaded. So I went in and my email inbox has 5600 emails. I right clicked and deleted EVERY ONE. Then I waived benefits and signed off and won't open that shit back up for 5 more weeks. It was annoying.
I've thrown up everything I've tried to eat today. I need something in my stomach because having an empty stomach makes it worse but I have no idea what to even try now.
If you SAH how do you handle asking your spouse if they really need to put in as many hours as they are? I know part of our issue is the 90min (each way) commute and DH feels he can't ask to be put on a different project until the price of oil comes up but I'm struggling with the amount of solo parenting I'm doing.
We took our family pics Friday and I keep obsessively checking fb for a sneek peek.
But she did take an Xmas nb pic today of another family and it gives me baby fever all over again. DS is 6 mos and we are done, but man I love babies! I'd have 10 if they paid for themselves.
There are 2 vacancies in my office that close on Thursday but I can't decide if I want to apply to either of them. One is a lateral but I'd lose my certification for my current job, the other is a raise and lets me keep my certification but is a reviewer and it might make me nuts. But my current job is basically herding cats and babysitting and I'm losing my patience on a daily basis so a change might be needed.
ssmjlm I think you're supervisory - I don't want to review other people's stuff, do I?
namasteak I feel your pain; my DH is actually out of town until Thursday night for work right now, in fact. My answer is, I don't. He's relatively new in his career and I know this is just how it needs to be for now. Not sure what your DH's situation is, but if mine wanted to try to adjust hours, etc. it just wouldn't be good for his career at all. It does suck, though.
timorousbeastie I have no words. I'm so sorry, I can't imagine how scary that must be for you guys.

And like 40 minutes later the baby is still not going to sleep. Apparently the screaming broke him forever. I put him in the crib and put on the crib soother. Hopefully that works although I doubt it. I am so annoyed with DS1.
