Ds1 (2.5) is soooo whiney & full of fake tears today that DH & I are trading off dealing with him.
Someone in my neighborhood started selling LLR so I went over to try stuff on to see what size I am. I got a cute shirt with a simple pattern that will look awesome with my distressed skinny jeans and boots!
Tomorrow is a 10.5-hour workday, including two presentations in front of executives and 30 other people. I am ready for it to be Tuesday. Or, preferably, Friday.
I'm on my way to my third Target to try and stock up on diapers with the coupon and deal. We got everything else on our list at our regular Target, and both the first and the second one were out of size 3s in Cruisers. So annoying!
I pretty much got the day to myself, it was glorious
Slept in, DH and DD went to church. (I wanted to go but mega church + mega pregnant = not a good combo. By the time we park and I walk in there I'm too tired and winded to stand up during worship, lol.) I cleaned out my bathtub/shower which had been on my to-do nesting list for a long time. After lunch I went to Target by myself and shopped for about an hour, then went to a nearby lake for some pokemon hunting, then the grocery store. Now DH is making us dinner.

My kid who rarely naps for more than 90 minutes slept for nearly 5 hours this afternoon. He also napped 2 hours yesterday morning, 45 minutes in the afternoon, and still went to bed at his regular time. Of course he didn't STTN and was up super early (as per usual). He normally goes down for the night around 6:30-7:00 but he only woke up at 5:00 so I have no idea what to do. He seems more or less himself although he has a slight fever (100). I imagine something unpleasant is brewing. Not looking forward to it!
We drove the 100 miles to my inlaws Friday afternoon and it took us nearly 3 hours with traffic. DH had arranged for his sister to watch our kids and made reservations to celebrate our anniversary a bit early. So there went my Whole 30 lol. Worth it, amazing sangria, tapas, and paella. (Barcelona in German Village for my c-bus friends). Yum. Then we bar hopped a bit and slept in till 8 Saturday morning. Last night was my nephews birthday party, it was fun, you might have seen on Facebook that DH went down the hillbilly slip and slide and didn't manage to kill himself.
We drove home late last night and were spent today. Late church, longing around till soccer for the boys at 3, picked up chipotle for an early dinner. I swung by half price day at the consignment sale and picked up some pjs for the boys. I feel like we never have enough pjs. It's about to storm and the kids need to go to bed within the hour then I'm going to bed.
DD has been at the fair with my mom, sister and niece today. It's been so fun only having 1 baby. One kid is sooooo much easier than two. DD isn't a hard kid, but it's been so quite around here all day it's been refreshing. Also, DH and I were both able to nap. S
I am glad it's not the flu though which is what my first thought was when I woke up all fevery and achy.
If you saw my post from Friday night my H has diverticulitis right now so we are just having a banner weekend over here. At least no one is contagious.

Well, basically every Sunday since DS2 was born I'm in tears by this time of day because DS1 is such a horrible, unpleasant person to be around and we just end up yelling at him and he scresms and I feel like I ve birthed DS2 into this horrible, stressful, unhappy, environment.
And DH just informed me that he plans to work on Labor Day if they will let him. oMG no. I can't do DS1 and DS2 all by myself for a whole day.
I go back to work tomorrow after being off since February 17th. I went back for a handful of days at the end of the school year but otherwise it's been nearly 6 1/2 months off. On one hand I'm ready to get back to a routine but then again I really like being lazy. I have to actually set an alarm and shower and get ready right when I wake up. I feel incredibly lucky that I've been able to be home with DS for this long though, so I'm not complaining. I love what I do and that really make going back to work easier I think.
I just went and took a 30 minute shower. I cannot deal with my children today. I thought I was going to run away. Non-stop whining, bickering, screaming. My 3 year old took one look at dinner, opened her mouth, and started screaming. I put her in her room. What the fuck, man?
I had some fillings done a week and a half ago. My upper right molar still hurts so much that I am taking ibuprofen 2-3x a day. :? That's probably not good.

DH is on a trip and won't be back until tomorrow. I am starting to hone the parenting thing in. DS is in his room pulling books off of his bookshelf and I am in my room on my computer. I am so tired. On the good side though, I have had the living room to myself after bedtime and I've been able to do whatever I want in there. I like to create an atmosphere. Soothing music, dim lights (or as dim as I can go without sacrificing my eyes), A book or my knitting project, and a large cup of tea. Bliss. I am a little sad that DH is coming home tomorrow. I am going to miss these evenings of solitude.

I feel really silly. DH and I had unprotected sex last night but used pull and pray. I haven't gotten my period back since I had DD almost 6 months ago so I'm probably not fertile yet.
But, DH and I both woke up today panicking so I went and bought Plan B. I already feel nauseous from taking it but I just couldn't risk it. I think we need to schedule a V sooner than later.

We went to church this morning and I was talking to a (I guess now former) friend who homeschools her kids with a group/curriculum we were considering. I was talking to her today about feeling torn and how the school right by us gets good ratings and all that. Her reply was asking if I really want to deal with transgender bathrooms and have my kids read about Jane having two dads. I stammered something about how I wasn't really worried about that, I think? I was caught totally off guard and have hit my wall exhaustion wise. I'm really disappointed in her. I guess this eliminates that group from being a possibility.
Oh no @this, I hope you don't get it! Stomach bugs while pregnant are the worst!
My dad was visiting for the weekend and left this afternoon. K wanted to hold his hand or sit on his lap all day yesterday and today. She was crying a while ago because grandpa wasn't here to go outside with her. Just break my heart kid He should be back in October though so I'm looking forward to that!
My brother announced like 4 days ago that he is getting married in a few weeks. He lives a plane ride away so it's not as though we can all just go there with such little notice. Despite saying he understands he is clearly upset that none of his family can make it. Wtf.I'm so annoyed!

My DH often works nights. He thinks I hate it but the truth is I love it. I eat whatever I want for dinner, hog the tv, stretch out on the couch...lol. I don't even mind doing the whole bedtime routine alone because I love my solo evenings so much!
My parents are visiting. They aren't super helpful with the baby and it's like they shed clutter wherever they go, but I'm going to go out with them tonight to drink and listen to live music and eat so I suppose they've earned their keep
Oh no @this! I hope you don't get sick!! I basically had the whole day to myself too. H took DS to see inlaws so I did laundry, some cleaning went to 2 Targets & Buy Buy Baby & binged Botched. Then my H brought home food from inlaws!! So I just ate shepards pie & snickerdoodles!!
DS was still running a 102 fever this morning, so we took him to the pedi. Sinus infection. Plus his molars are cutting through. Poor baby has been so miserable today. And I can't take tomorrow off because it's the first day of school.
