I was super productive today. I cleaned the office which hadn't been done since Piper was born. It was disgusting. But I don't use it much, H does, and I'd not used it since maternity leave at all so it was on him to clean. But now it's clean I can go in there without vomiting. I also started packing for our beach trip, which we leave in a week but it's a very organization-intensive trip especially if we want to drive our smaller car.
Speaking of cars, I love my new lease car (we get a new one annually, due to H's job). It's an Escape. So cute, fun to drive, and I sit high in the car so I can actually use the entire windshield rather than the bottom half.
DH is irritated we have chores to do because his brother comes tomorrow. Apparently he thought that if the cleaning ladies came he wouldn't have to do anything.
DH has been in an awful mood all week. I'm not sure what's up, but it's annoying. Tonight I'm dealing with a cranky toddler and a cranky husband after a crap week and I'm like can we all just get along?!?
Few things made me rage more than a toddler leaving her room 50 times at bedtime. She needed dental floss, then more for Hazel, then tucked in, then to ask me one more question, .... Of course the reason that she's not sleeping is that dh let her fall asleep in the car late this afternoon. So basically rage all around.

I guess my H and I are mad at each other? I don't really know what happened but he told me that he "didn't like my attitude" so now I'm avoiding him. It's awkward. This almost never happens to us. We were supposed to have this lovely weekend together but now we're cranky with each other and L's sick so it's likely not going to happen anyway. Not the best way to start a long weekend.
We were sent (via email) a notice from the attorney who purchased our previous home (2 years ago) that he feels we lied on our disclosure and he paid for some additional work and wants us to pay for it. We had an inspection, he had 2 inspections, and we live in a caveat emptor state. We were honest and I resent the implication we lied.
I had my annual evaluation today and it was e top score, my boss is happy, but he said, you have a lot on your plate and you need to say no more. No shit.
I withdrew from a particular committee because their first meeting is on Caramini's first day of K. I'll be damned if I miss that, but I still feel guilty about it.
I saw a FB post about the boxing I wanted my mom to do for Parkinson's that she refused. I lost it on my drive home thinking about how rapid my mom's decline has been and how she is dying.
We did a carb depletion this week and I am crabby and tired and I can't even have a damn glass of wine.
DH is talking to DD in baby talk and she's answering back. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. He's taking the night shift tonight so I can get a full night's sleep. Yay!
What do you do when kids at daycare aren't nice to your child?
DS1 is...different. He so innocent and sweet. He loves rainbows, pink and purple, colors, and leggings. He wears rainbow colored shoes and leggings that are pink. He loves "wedding shirts" which are just long-sleeve button-ups. His clothes never match. I don't care. He can wear what he wants, as long as he is happy.
The kids at daycare have started to notice and aren't very nice to him. He has been complaining that he doesn't want to go each day. Each day he comes home with a new story of who was mean. K punched him. L pushed him down the slide (got a black eye). B yanked him off the rock wall. They tell him he can't play with them.
I've asked him if he has said something to the kids or the teacher. The teacher obviously can't do much, separate and scold I suppose. I know she's having a hard time with behaviors in general in that class.
I don't want to be too mama-bear but he begs to not go every morning. It's sad that kids are already this horrible at only 4 and 5.
MH had the day off. We went to the aquarium this morning and had a great time. It wasn't crowded at all. This afternoon I took both kids to the library. We walked there (1.25 mi round trip) and DS was great. We had burgers for dinner and Rita's after. I got a mango gelati - yum!
DD has been cluster feeding and I don't know if I'll get any sleep tonight, but it was a great day!

The kids are so excited when Daddy's home, but my husband's hip is out, so it hurts him to be active. He has a doctor appointment on Monday, but the kids need to quit climbing on him all the time.
Chase has also been jumping off furniture and tackling Nods for fun.
First we went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. Across the street about 5-10 Trump supporters started demonstrating against HRC. ? At first nobody did anything but stare but then a bunch of high schoolers out to dinner before prom took pictures with them. The kids are not alright. My H lives in a non-political bubble and wondered aloud how they weren't embarrassed to essentially be yelling out their racism/sexism.
After that we walked next door to Coldstone and Jim Brewer walked in after us. DS decided he'd had enough good behavior at that point and turned into a maniac who wanted to dance and stick his tongue out. Thank god JB found it amusing. A few people approached him and he was super cool about it. My H wanted to so badly but I begged him not to, lol. Let him get his ice cream while he enjoys the dulcet tones of a hyped up toddler.
When we got home our mute dog decided this was the day to break his silence. My H and I stood in the garage dumbfounded to hear TWO dogs barking in our house. ?? He's 8 years old.
I'm so grateful to my parents for everything they've done for us over the last year. But sometime, damn it people. They insisted on being in charge of dinner, they know I desperately need to go to bed at like 7:30pm, the 3 year old is always famished when she gets home from daycare and my dad just started dinner at 6pm. Come onnnnnn!
Saudade that is terrible. I disagree the teachers can't help. That is not at all ok and the kids need to learn that when they are young. Poor little guy.
But if they don't see it, can they do much? I don't know. I've brought it up the next day, as he usually tells us at dinner. And they say "yeah we're having trouble with that one" except it's multiple kids in the class. And I know they are having a hard time. The teachers is about ready to quit. But. It sucks when it's your own kid. As a parent, I would want to know if my child was treating other kids this way.
Saudade no advice, but that is awful! I'm sorry for your DS. Why do other kids suck already??
I never really get my nails done but I'm considering it for this weekend because I've been on a cleaning rampage and my hands are super dry now. We are getting our new fridge delivered tomorrow and I've been trying to do as much today to get ready so we don't have to tomorrow.
DD learned how to make an L sound with her tongue so it sounded like she was yodeling all day. I'm cracking up thinking about it!

I'm still having c section pain I decided I'm just going to rest for my last 8 days of maternity leave. I watched a lot of TV today. I'm really bored and I want to work out but I really want my stomach to heal, so... Extra ice cream and couch surfing I guess.

I was emo about listing our house. 2 weeks later we got a full price offer. Then we went under contract for our new house. Then yesterday we found out our buyers bought a car this week so they messed up getting a mortgage. We have 2 showings tomorrow. If we don't get an offer we have to cancel the contract on our new house.
I'm eating a new flavor of Ben and Jerry's. I've already had 3 vodka limeades.
We are having a lazy Friday. We ordered pizza and pasta in and after hanging out with the kids we are watching The Last Ship before the new season begins.
The laundry and cleaning situation of this house is killing me. We are so far behind I don't know where to begin. It is stressing me out. I need to find a cleaning person. We haven't had one since we moved and I can't do it anymore.
Just discovered that Hulu has all the seasons of Dawson's Creek. Guess I know what I will be doing the rest of the night/the rest of my time on bedrest.
