I'm watching DD eat dinner / throw food on the floor. She only wants sausage and nothing else, ha.
We had a semi successful day without nursing, but in the afternoon she had a meltdown and refused the bottle, and DH wasn't around so I gave in and nursed. My goal is no more daytime nursing by the end of the month, morning and bed still OK. Doing OK with dropping the one feed but today DD fell asleep without nursing in the AM, so I pumped and didn't expect to still nurse in the PM. Oh well. I have cut down to one pump on the days I work, so there's that.

I've been seeing a therapist while going through my divorce.
She has to be the nicest person ever.
I normally see her once a week but am having a week and asked for another session. Went and saw her today and we talked for over an hour, then I pulled out my wallet and she said "nope, this one's on me, you needed me today". What!!! I kept pushing but she insisted. SO NICE!
Now I feel like I want to get her a little something but I'm not sure what.
Could she even accept a small gift? What's appropriate?
I threw on Sesame Street and the Elmo part just came on.. E kept repeating "Elmo.. Elmo.. Elmo!" over and over. Freaking adorable. Nice change from the cranky kid I brought home, lol
I am missing DD a lot tonight. Just having a lot of feelings that it will be a while before I can pick up all 27 pounds of her like I used to. And even longer possibly until I can do her hair into little pigtails. Besides those things, I just want to hang out with her and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and sing-along with the Amazon Alexa.
I've been dealing with work drama since yesterday trying to hire a doctor into my office to keep things going while I'm gone. One person sounded good but then she wasn't available until next month, another one is available but doesn't have her license yet. I just had a guy negotiate pay with me. I agreed if he could temp for me for some days in August, but after I hung up I felt like I gave in too easily. I need to get better at this manager stuff!
I was trying to hide out downstairs until DH yelled down, "Hey! Can you bring the albuterol upstairs?" Which of course tipped DS off to the fact that I was not upstairs with him and sent him into a rage. Thanks, DH. So much for my quiet time.
I signed up for the diet bet and I am kind of looking forward to a weekend of cheat meals before the first weigh in. This is why I'm fat.
Also H just got a call about a THIRD interview for a new job. He's gotta get this job, right? It would just be cruel otherwise.
I get you. I was thinking to myself do I go on a food binge this weekend or should I continue to try eating good. I just started like two days ago. Let's see if I have any self control.
I am taking a vacation day and my brother is going to be in town and my DD1 loves him. She always says she wants to go to Brooklyn to see her uncle during music class so I know she will have a great time. I am having a friend drop by in the morning for a play date and she is bringing yummy donuts. Then this weekend my uncle and aunt are coming with their kids to meet DD2 and hang out. It should be lots of fun.
Today was a productive day. I got my wedding rings cleaned and polished, my watch battery replaced, set up a few estimates with moving companies, negotiated roof repairs on the spot, baked brownies and made a complicated dinner, all of which were accomplished with a toddler in tow.
I thought c/s revovery meant no driving for 2 weeks, but i just read my discharge paperwork and it says 1-2 weeks.
I should be good, right?
My doc said as long as I was off the pain meds (narcotic ones) for 24hrs and felt like I could break quickly if necessary, then I could drive. I think I drove at 1.5 weeks with C. I had complications with D and it was 3 weeks.
I asked for the salary range, they asked for my salary requirements. Ugh.
I have an email into my mentor and old boss asking his opinion on what I could be making if I stayed on the company side instead of jumping over to the agency side. If they have me waiting till October, I'm going to keep my eyes open for all options.
Um, I just signed up to be a LLR consultant. I had to. I went to one in person today and she makes 50% more than I do as a senior manager in my company. She puts in 12-14 hours a week. And I spent $173 tonight so I may as well sell it, right?
I think I may be getting in way over my head. Anyone want to buy more leggings? celiacmom I'm counting on you.

Wait, seriously? Wow.
I've never known how people actually do financially with selling stuff like this. My neighbor's GF is starting to sell soon. Wonder how she'll do.
My brother and SIL had their baby today- yay! They picked a rather untraditional name so I hope my parents reacted well. After my MIL was snarky about DD's name I told my folks they had better feign excitement even if the name is terrible.
