DH has been home sick the past two days but had to go back today, he was feeling better and had some big meetings. I guess he couldn't sleep so he decided to just go in early. And my stupid dogs thought since people were up it must be breakfast time. And they whined and whined until I got up. Which is why I've been up since 4:30. Thanks DH!

Yesterday was my son's 18th birthday. He enlisted in the Army this fall and will be going to basic training next summer, so we're pretty much all Army, all the time. I made him this cake. I really like how it came out. It's camo on the inside, too.

That cake is awesome!
I set my alarm for 6:00 so I could shower before DS woke up. He woke up at 5:00 and is now asleep in my bed. I, however, never fell back to sleep. At least I'm getting to drink my coffee in peace. Off to jury duty today. 8 more weeks!

Since the storm, NJ transit has been cancelling a number of trains, so my regular express train is now making EVERY stop. The commute is twice as long, and the train is packed! I want my regular commute back.

I slept through the night for the first time in forever. I feel great.
Tonight is our last night alone as a family of 3. My SIL is coming to stay tomorrow night so that she can take care of T on Friday. I sobbed all last night. I know we will love having N, but I already miss our little family of 3. This is normal right?
DH got home yesterday, after three and a half weeks and a monster snowstorm. It's SO NICE to have him home. He changed all the diapers, did DD's dance class drop off/pick up, handled bedtime while I sat on DS's bed, and so on.
Schools are still closed, and he's taking the day off so I can actually get some work done. Our elementary school is having a "dig out" party to help clear walkways now that driveways and parking lots are cleared, DH might take the kids up for that since I'm pretty sure it'll turn into an epic snowball fight/snowman contest.
We left DS with a sitter for the first time last night and went out with friends. It was really nice! But apparently DS cried non-stop for a half hour before we got home. I felt bad for the sitter. You could tell she had run out of ideas for how to calm him down.
He ended up having a really crappy night of sleep. I think it's got to be teething related or something. I just want to curl up and go back to sleep. So tired.

Both kids go to school today. Yay!! I will get a workout in and then pick up Jackson. Grab some lunch and take him to his eye appointment. They want to make sure the glasses are working for him. Carter has run club after school today so he will be starving when he gets home. Pretty boring day!
I'm really frustrated with my job recently. My supervisor has a ton of stuff on her plate, she's very hands-off for the 4 coordinators who work under her, which I normally like. However, last fall one person who had been here for 4 years left and we have a new girl. New girl and I work pretty closely together and I feel like I've been training her more than my supervisor has. Which is fine, I guess, except when there's something I didn't know she was supposed to do (because the previous person did it on her own) and it doesn't get done and then my supervisor's boss seems to get frustrated with me for it not getting done.
I have a massage later today. I need to figure out how to get my run in before my massage so I can get my legs really relaxed for my long run later this week.
I am dreading today. I have to go to two client meetings and inform both clients that my coworker who previously managed their accounts is being put into hospice today at the age of 45. I'm so heartbroken for my coworker and his family. Giving other people the news I'd going to make it seem more real.

i was crying as they were preparing me for my c-section. I was terrified I had just ruined DD and our family of 3. 7 months in and things could be farther from that. DD adjusted well and DS fits right in.
I am annoyed with one of the guys I work with/back up. I am on 3 different account lists and one of the owners of the account list is under the impression that I only back him up and sends everything to me to be done urgently. Except I have so much other stuff that needs to get done as well and I cannot keep pushing everything back to deal with his "urgent" matters.

Totally normal. Wait until you see them together, your heart will burst.
I can't believe you're having this baby on Friday! ((sally)) Everything will be great!
WI day for WW. I am nervous and excited. It is so stupid to be that wrapped up in the number but here I am.
I have only been at this for three weeks, lost 8 pounds, but already feel so much better. And feel better about myself. I think it is the fact that I am doing something for myself.

Yes that is normal. Change is hard. Good luck tomorrow.
K was up four times last night, so I did not sleep well at all. I need to run to the mall to buy a new power cord for my tablet, which I don't even like, and might see what I can do about an exchange.
Then, I think meeting up with a friend so the kids can play.
I have also decided to just bag up all the clothing that has been sitting in bins on my closet floor, in storage bags, and all for a long time. I am not using any of it and it is not worth hanging onto it anymore. I also need to go through my shoes.
I hear people here talk a lot about getting very little sleep, and you just get through your day... I don't know how you guys do it. I feel like I can't function without sleep. I've only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the last 2 nights in a row. Thinking about being at work for 8 hours makes me want to cry.
Took the dog to puppy camp yesterday so it would wear him out. He still wakes up at 5 AM since daylight savings and we are trying to get him to sleep later because it is killing us. So this morning, not a peep until 6AM when my son gets up to drive his girlfriend to the train GRRRRRRR. The dog wasn't even up yet and might have even slept later than 6!!!
Oh well, 6 was still better than 5 but I can't wait for day light saving to turn the clocks.

T is so excited, so that helps. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if she were not looking forward to him.
