Wednesday late afternoon / evening

[ssmjlm]

I'm so over work. They have implemented so many reviews it's impossible to get anything done b/c everyone has to double check everything.

I have an analyst (lol, she's an idiot) who keeps wanting me to change a document. And keeps asking why we didn't do x,y,z. It takes YEARS to get big requirements done and they are throwing fits over something that will happen no matter what her review says.

DH has a meeting after work and then is going to a movie with some friends, so I am picking up DD from daycare and grabbing Chinese takeout for dinner.

My boobs feel like they are about to explode. If DD still won't nurse tonight I'm going to have to dig out my hand pump and if she still won't tomorrow I'll pump again and then go out for cabbage leaves and Sudafed. I'm pretty sure this sudden weaning is due to her canines coming in, but I can't be engorged like this all the time, and I'm not willing to start pumping again until she's ready.

I am dreading going home for some reason. It's just me and DS but we don't have any really appealing or healthy food options. I don't want to sit and watch a movie tonight, I don't want to come up with some creative game/activity for him, but I also don't want to leave the house to go out to eat or do an activity. BLAH GLOOMY DAY.

If I can convince myself to leave the house, maybe we will go look at Christmas tree decor.

It's after 5. I'm waiting for the meltdown to start.

What kind of cookie, @starry? I had a very delicious soft ginger cookie at the coffee shop yesterday.

[preppy]

DH is out at an industry tradeshow and has a client dinner tonight and I'm home with DD who had her first vaccinations today. She's stopped screaming and is now asleep but only sleeps in my arms so I'm getting nothing done.

We did get our holiday cards from minted that I purchased with that awesome deal and I love them. I picked up stamps this morning and can't wait until the day after thanksgiving when I can send them!

It's house cleaner day! Came home to a house that is clean all that the same time and I didn't have to do it.

Now that we have this, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to give it up.

[Muddled]

There it is.

I started letting J pick the music on the way to and from daycare and all he wants to listen to is one song over and over again. We have Apple Music so we listen to different versions, but I'm ready to kill myself by the end of the half hour drive. The song today was Ring Around the Rosie. Yesterday it was Itsy Bitsy Spider. It does make him so happy though.

I've spent most of my day on the phone with Apple support. And determined my shitty network that we use at work sucks. So then I figured I'd continue the torture and call my health insurance company about my $3k bill for labor and delivery. After 30+ mins on the phone, most of which were me on hold, the insurance rep is like well you can file an appeal. But couldn't explain any coverage to me. OMG kill me. I hate dealing with insurance companies. At least the apple reps that I spent hours with were helpful!!!

I can't wait for my day off tomorrow. Work is killing me slowly!

[awkwardpenguin]

It is possible I am dying of sleep deprivation. I called for a break in a meeting today so I could make another cup of coffee.

I am irrationally psyched for tonight's asset allocation webinar.

All I have eaten today is a banana and two chocolate bars.

My husband is being really awesome lately. Every night he comes home from work, plays with the kids so I can take a bath and relax, and then helps me put them to bed. Then he works on refinishing the trim in the house for a few hours. His goal is to have our front hallway done by Christmas. This is the kind of thing that makes me feel all sappy about him, lol. He's a keeper

[kaycee]

Anyone want a $20 off $100 code for HA?

[water*drop]

DS has pink eye and an ear infection. Neither seem to be bothering him, but I'm really hoping that he magically starts sleeping better once the antibiotics kick in.

[Brie]

Guyyys why doesn't P sleep? I'm so tired. I've lost track of wakeups the last few nights. He is just awake and being an asshole about it. We usually end up tossing him in bed with us and alternately half-sleeping with a hand on him to make sure he doesn't roll off the bed while he squawks at us.

He is 10 months old! He should be approaching STTN by now, right? FFS.

I'm on my own with the kids this evening. Curious George is babysitting.

[starburst]

I'm so scared for bedtime tonight. Last night was such a disaster and ended up with DS screaming from 1:30-2:30 before finally falling asleep.

curious George is babysitting my kids right now too!

Home from my OB appt and dinner is made. Boys should be home in about 20 minutes, so for now I'm watching another episode of Parenthood and relaxing. Baby is measuring right on track and sounded good, so yay!

H is debating going to some union appreciation event tonight, so I'll be doing bedtime on my own if he does.

[bluelikejazz]

I'm so stressed about work. I've applied for an internal job that isn't "dream job", but could easily be a stepping stone to dream job in 5-10 years (job 1). But now a potential "much closer to dream job" is maybe going to materialize, but not for 3-6 months (job 2). Not to brag on myself, but job 2 would likely be made with me in mind to fill it, but I don't know if it's going to exist or not. If I get job 1 (totally not for sure, I'm competing with some other good contenders for it), I won't it leave for job 2. But if I knew for sure job 2 was going to exist, I'd pull my name from job 1 in a heartbeat.

GAH, I really wish I had a mentor or someone to talk to about this.

I changed my ticker because I'm a terrible AW. Lol.

I have a follow up anatomy scan in 2 weeks and you are making me want to find out now.

DS has an infected tear duct. His whole face was swollen this morning and I spent my morning off at the pedi instead of at the gym watching HIMYM reruns on the treadmill.

I ended up being an hour and a half late to work ON MY LATE DAY. Boo.

Two minor victories:

1. Figured out how to nurse in the Tula with infant insert

2. Got DD2 to nap in the Tula.

These are big victories!

Ds1 hasn't been feeling great today so I rented CARS for him and he thought it was the greatest thing ever. It was adorable to watch how excited he was but I'm afraid I've created a monster.

For some reason I suck at making rice & bacon.

[glitzy07]

Baaaaaah, if you were ever trying to decide between VBAC or RCS, please see my other post. After my appointment today and talking to H I'm totally waffling on my decision. It would be so easy to schedule a RCS and know that I'm going to meet this baby on like December 27th or something! Plus I'm jealous of those of you who know what you're having already *cough @vicmo cough*.

[SJ]

Just brought in a huge client. I am SO pumped!!

[aspentosh]

We have been so bad about cooking lately. I went to Costco and bought a ready made chicken pot pie. It was delicious! Tomorrow night is either leftovers of that or ready made ravioli. So lazy.

[timorousbeastie]

H and I have been binge watching United States of Tara over the past few days. I am having such a hard time not watching it without H during nap time. It is so good. Also, John Corbett is so yummy. 20+ years since I first developed a major crush on him in Northern Exposure, and he's still got it.

[cjeanette]

MMM made me do it
