The baby was up crying at 11:30 last night and H was still up and letting him cry. I told him to do something about it and he said, "We live in a small house, we need to learn to deal with it." Uh, no asshole. When you get up at 5:45 for work and do any middle of the night feedings, you can tell me that. Until then, you can shut up and take the baby with you.
Gah. I'm still irritated. I've done plenty of CIO, mostly when he's on business trips. I wasn't in the mood last night and was pretty tired. Don't fucking tell me do deal with it when you've had months of uninterrupted sleep and I haven't had an uninterrupted night since early December. Jerk.
How old is the baby. Fwiw cio only works when you are consistent. Otherwise you might as well not cio at all.
I know. He's a great sleeper, but gets in the habit of waking up at random times occasionally. We've done the consistent CIO. I just wasn't interested in starting a round last night.
I'm exhausted. I slept on the couch so I wouldn't catch whatever DH has and I slept terrible. And I'm not sure if it's in my head because I'm paranoid about getting sick but my stomach is starting to feel a little weird.
I am not cut out to rent or be a landlord. We sublet out one of the rooms in our current place to allow us to continue to save and H could also go to school. We have had the worst luck.
Our current roommate must be the laziest, stupidest person to exist. She constantly leaves her curling iron and straighteners on the floor of the washroom for days at a time with the wires everywhere. Is always losing her key or leaving it somewhere and then coming and pounding on our door and calling my phone repeatedly at 2 AM. And she has a crazy cat that has literally destroyed every piece of our furniture. She made brownies the week before Christmas and didnt wash any of the dishes till last week. Not worth it. Only 40 some days left.
jonah and i built the biggest, baddest snow fort ever yesterday. you actually have to climb half way up a giant mountain of snow to get in, then we dug out a "room" big enough for me, both boys and the dog to sit up in! it's so awesome!!!
I had an awful cold last week, and I ended up taking 3 days off work. Today I woke up with a fever and my breakfast came back up. So I'm deciding what to do now. I don't want to use up all of my leave. Ugh.

omg this is giving me heart palpitations just looking at it. All I can see is it caving in.

We have a new bus driver, and he was late picking us up and then got lost getting to the destination. I feel bad for him because people are upset, but this is also not how I wanted to start my day!
That is an amazing fort, frkls!!! My mom was like TR -- she was so anxious about snow caving in. We could only ever build like high-walled hide-outs. No igloos. lol.

my baby seems to be getting sick again and i'm sitting here like noooo. my cat just got a uti, my husband has been complaining about being congested and now my daughter is getting a runny nose, i can't escape it.
I expected to be taking DS to the dr this morning before school, because he had a rash last night that I assumed was fifth or roseola (there were cases of fifth diagnosed at his school, and he had similar symptoms), and I knew I couldn't take a rashy kid to school without a note. Well, let DS sleep late and let DH slip out early since I couldn't call for an appt till 8:30 anyway, and come to find out he has no rash. Blerg. So getting myself ready for work trying to be quick while also having a toddler underfoot and no 2nd pair of hands/eyes was not enjoyable. lol. I also know that Fifth rash apparently comes and goes for weeks, so I'm half waiting for the phonecall from daycare to come get my rashy kid.

I'm so ready for MH to be home. i sleep horribly when he isn't home. I'm exhausted. But - I am super motivated to clean the house today. I have to go to the grocery store. I go every Monday, but I'm scared it's going to be nuts post-snowstorm.
H & I had a major talk last night about how he'd like to lose some weight. He's officially at his heaviest, & even though he's tall & it's not bad at all, he's not pleased. SO now I get to deal with my husband's insane weight-loss strategy, which is basically cutting down to one meal/ day & no other changes. Horrible! Don't even try to talk to me about metabolism, etc. He won't hear it.
I changed our meal plan for the week to healthier options, & don't even want to hear anything about it. If he wants to do it his way, that's fine, but going healthier with more fish, chicken, salads & less carbs is never a bad thing to help him kickstart things. RIGHT?!? Ugh. I can already hear the bitching, & am therefore, just fine with going independent eating for the month
I left my phone at home this morning and, as a result, feel like I've already been at work for six hours. It doesn't help that it's been a slow morning so far. H is dropping L off at daycare at 10 and then coming to pick up his work van, so he'll bring it by then.
I'm really surprised/kind of impressed that daycare is only on a delayed start this morning - for the last two winters, they seemed to close any time it LOOKED like it might snow outside.
I feel like I did nothing but eat all weekend, and none of it was remotely healthy, and I feel so blah today. I think this is the week I am going to finally reenroll in WW meetings.

I have a cold but the congestion is clogging up my face. I have a headache, my eyes hurt, my teeth hurt and I don't think there is anything I can do about it. DH is leaving today to go OOT for work for the week, I have a ton of important meetings today, and all I want is to be put out of my misery.
I'm lonely. I had my review on Friday and it went well. But there was a slight criticism about something I deserved... but I started to tear up. My boss is great and felt awful. she was like "its not a big deal, just wanted to make sure we don't do that again..." etc. But it was so embarrassing. I am a ball of nerves and I have no self confidence right now.
Yesterday h took the kids for the entire day and I was all alone. so I went to the gym and watched the Pats get the snot kicked out of them. And when they lost, I cried. I friggen cried. I don't even care about them that much at all. I just feel so lost and alone. I hate this.

@sloanpeterson Oh, Sloan. This is so hard, and I'm so sorry you're going through this. For what it's worth, I think you are so strong and handling this so well. It's ok to cry and be sad. I'm hugging the shit out of you.
I have a snow day today and I am thrilled. They are 1000x more delicious as an adult.
