I'm at my sub job until 1:00pm. Then H wants to go see Star Wars again so we'll probably do that while C goes to my parents for a few hours. I hope the freezing rain doesn't come to fruition.

I feel a lot better today - probably the 2 naps and bed at 8 pm helped. I seriously never check out of parenting but I did yesterday. H was awesome about it.
It's 8:30 and DD is still sleeping. I want her to wake up so we can get moving! I'm up, showered, have eaten and am just watching the Today show. I won't wake her though because she obviously needs the sleep.

We have an extremely busy week at work and I'm relatively panicked about doing it with the impending blizzard and no childcare. My mom said she could watch DS but she lives 90 miles away and I don't think either of us will want to drive in crap.
We may get snow here today, which is super unusual. My H has nicknamed this area the "Idaho/Washington banana belt". I keep telling him that we only have 6-8 weeks until SPRING!

My baby is broken. He was up every 2 hours last night just crying, Which Is NOT him at all. We finally have Tylenol and he slept 4 hours. Not sure what is wrong.

I am beyond spent. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in forever, my husband is sick, my kid is clingy, and I just want to curl up on the couch and read a book and be left alone. I almost wish I could go back to work so I could get 10 minutes of quiet. Sigh.

I am kind of jealous of everyone who is getting snow, we have just had rain, rain, and more rain. There has been a lot of flooding, and the interstate is even closed.
My MIL made me and DH feel like shit on Christmas morning and it's still bugging me. I ordered a free calendar for my mom when shutterfly had the code in November. I planned to order one for MIL as well. She also collects mugs so I placed and order with the kids pics on it.
Well, DH was laid off and we told them it was going to be a cheap Christmas for us this year. She told me not to buy any presents so I figured I had a little something for each anyway. She passive aggressively told us that she loves calendars and still has them saved from niece years ago. She also said that she's deprived because she doesn't have a daughter like my mom for these things. It's still burning my ass.
My ILs house is impossible to sleep in. Thin walls and floors, hard mattresses, people getting up before 6am and making tons of noise, uggh.
Wait are you my SIL and I don't know it because you described my IL's house perfectly? The best is they decide to put away the dishes away at all hours. H actually got into with his Mom because she didn't understand why it was not a good idea to be putting a way the dishes at 11pm at night with M sleeping literally 5 feet away.
So basically because of the above I haven't had a good night sleep in over a week. Since we got home on Saturday M has been up a couple times a night because he has a cough and then last night we were dealing with a flooded basement as well. I know it is nothing compared to what some of you are dealing with.
Good think I am WAH today although I will admit to phoning it in since I don't have my actual work laptop with some of the files I need and I am going over to H's office later to answer the phones so he can go to the Military Bowl (Pittsburgh ladies oceanspray@peggyolson and forgetting some).
I've been asking H for these earrings for almost 4 years, and he hasn't taken the hint, so I took matters into my own hands.
(And it wasn't a $$ issue since he got me earrings that cost me way more as a push present, which I hated)
But where is the picture of the earrings?
Like this, but rose gold. I've been wanting a good everyday pair of earrings forever, so I'm super excited. Beginning to regret not springing for faster shipping, haha.

I don't know what this is.
Pitt is playing in the military bowl. I guess it wouldn't be a big deal unless you are Pitt fan.
Ok, so my back pain has lasted 5 days and is Getting worse each day. I can't sleep and can't function without pain meds. I'm getting scared & think I need to go in to the Doc.
Then I find out on Christmas Day that 2 of my kids left their North Face coats at the play place at McDs a week ago. I was so pissed they didn't tell me. Now I'm here waiting & it's been 20mib since the manager went to look in the office lost & found. I'm guessing she took them home or an employee was given them & she doesn't want to tell me they are gone. That's $200 worth of coats. I'm seriously thinking of selling some of the kids toys to recoup some of the cost...to teach them a lesson. They absolutely should have spoken up when they realized. DD3s was practically brand new Triclimate which was $140. And DD2s fleece goes inside a shell so in a sense ruins that Triclimate coat too. Soo pissed.
I'm so glad I'm back to work and the kids are back in daycare, LOL.
My pumping/nursing experience with DS2 has been so insanely different than with DS1. Both of my kids had severe tongue ties. With DS1, 4 medical professionals missed his posterior tie and I didn't recognize it. We had massive weight gain issues (he was at birth weight at 1 month) and my milk supply took a hit because it never really got established early on. I was able to EBF until 12 months, but it required a lot of blood, sweat and tears on my part.
With DS2, I knew what to look for and we had his anterior tongue tie clipped when he was 2 days old. They missed his posterior tie and I made them fix it at 6 weeks. My milk supply is insane. I just pumped 11 oz in one session (2.5 hours after DS had eaten). I'm still paranoid about my supply given the battle I had with DS1, but it's amazing to outpace my child on a regular basis.
Ugh, the ice storm has knocked the power out. Our crappy old house is poorly insulated, so it's starting to get cold. I have J bundled up, but he's not enjoying the thick sweatshirt. I'm thinking of going to lunch with my mom, but don't want to drive anywhere. Also thinking we might need to go stay somewhere else. We don't even have water since we have a well and the pump won't run without power. Ugh.
J keeps asking for dada. Sorry dude, dada has to work after 4 days off.
Leftover oxycodone from DD's birth is the only thing helping my raging headache right now. It's also the only thing helping me to keep my mouth shut from telling H to grow a pair of balls.
