We got new sneakers for my 7 yo with laces rather than velcro for the first time and he learned how to tie his shoes in like 2 hours yesterday. He was SO proud of himself, it was cute. My baby is growing up
On Mondays I always wonder if DH resents that I SAH, now. He's usually in such a sour mood.
ETA: I also get more stitches out today! Hopefully the last of the non-dissolving ones. I really hope it doesn't snow much today so my appointment isn't rescheduled.
Edited to add: M's school called to tell me he stopped crying. My most difficult student is calm today (knocks loudly on wood). One of my other students is curled up in a chair reading a book, during my planning time (there is a sub in her drama class. She is better off with me.) I probably won't quit today, because it has actually been pleasant so far.
We are snowed in, again. No school or daycare today for me or DS. My husband had to go in but will head out of city early. Trying to think of how to keep a 2 year old entertained for the day.
My mom is arriving today and staying for a week. I really, really hope DS lets her hold him so I can have a break. He's not a big fan of being held by unfamiliar people.

DD's birthday party was Saturday. She had a blast. It was so much fun watching her tear into all her presents. Of course, it wasn't until Sunday that H and I realized the two of us never gave her our presents. Oops. At least she doesn't know any better. I guess we'll save them for a rainy day.
Also, a PSA: djc315 is awesome. She made the cupcakes, and they were unbelievably good. My car smells like heaven after driving the cupcakes home. They were soooo good.
I'm sleeeeeeeeepy from the Superbowl, but happy with the turnout. Good game, Broncos win, Peyton was not voted MVP symbolically. Good commercials, Cam showed his true colors. My personal favorite was the drama-llama after that TD.
Friends were over yesterday and it was mentioned that her MIL had a complaint about me. I told H about it and he totally took the MIL's side saying that I can be very "snooty and snippy". This didn't match up with how I perceive myself, so I've really been struggling with this. I asked H for examples, but he couldn't give me anything concrete.
Of course he has completely moved on and doesn't want to talk about it while I tend to stew and ruminate. I know I've been more irritable than usual lately and I really hope that this isn't how I'm perceived professionally.
DS woke up at 4:30a and I got him back to sleep wishing 15 min but I didn't really get back to sleep. I stopped at Satrbucks for a nice big tea this morning.
We have another snow day. The storm hasn't started yet, but the latest prediction is 5-9". I hate snow days. I hate being trapped in the house. DH stayed home today but has so far not been very helpful and he gets so short with dd1 sometimes. It's going to be a long day.
And dd2 was up at 4 and DS got up at 5. So it's going to be a really long day.
@sessalee, I have that gif saved for when I change my siggy. So funny! Every time I start to think he might be all right he pulls some dramatic tantrum like that and I'm like, nope.
Girlfriend slept from 7-4:45, nursed and then back to sleep from 5-7!! She is like a whole new baby. It is blowing my mind. We have a bazillion errands this morning and I'm trying to get out of the house, but L is refusing to sit on the toilet. Ugh. I have a feeling I'm in for a tantrum when it's time to get him in the car.

I have it saved too, I'll definitely be pulling it out. I could NOT stop laughing.
ssmjlm, I think it is okay. I was having a hard time adjusting to being back at work, and then I got split between two schools and am having a really hard time. Giving myself permission in writing to quit, means I probably won't.
I got G ready and did drop off by myself this AM since H had to go do background and drug screen atuff super early at the new job. I was here by 8:15 or 8:20, so that's a win!
Flameful - I liked Coldplay last night. I didn't think they were boring at all.
I talked to my fave nurse about my quad screen results this AM - all looked good and I mentioned my fall to her. Since I'm still not feeling consistent movement from this kid (18w tomorrow), she told me to come in so they can check the heartbeat to make me feel better.
