Loco Coco I'm so sorry you're sleep deprived. To everyone who had a bad day yesterday...I hope today is better. We are going on a journey today that promises to be extremely stressful. I just want it to be tomorrow morning.
Thank goodness I went to bed early. X was up at 2:50 and couldn't breathe. He's now done his nebulizer and is settling down on my shoulder to sleep more but I don't know if I'll be able to get any more sleep. I hope this baby kicking him in the back doesn't wake him up.

Ugh, I'm annoyed with my husband this morning and I hate when we clash in the mornings because it just sets such a bad tone for my day.
My H gets the girls up in the morning and I get up a little later (I know, he's awesome). I get up and notice that Violet's lip is very swollen on one side. I ask him wtf happened, he says he didn't notice it, isn't sure if she woke up with it. It's really very noticeable so I don't understand how he didn't look at her at all!? I mean, he even brushed her teeth. And then he was so defensive about it when I asked a million questions.
I looked at her inner lip and it does look like she bit through it a little so I'm thinking she fell out of her bed overnight. But geez, you have to notice these things!! Her school would have called me right away and I would have been clueless if I hadn't noticed it.

I keep thinking about Hillary calling Trump supporters a basket of deplorables and I find it hilarious. That is for sure not the first time she used that term and I just imagine her behind closed doors saying that and I cannot stop laughing.
It is so hard not to feel resentful of my husband when he snores peacefully all night and I wake up three times during the night and have to go to work the next day.

I love it. It makes me what to call everyone that I don't like deplorable.
A friend of mine was complaining of exhaustion with two kids on Facebook and someone replied that her pics make it look like she has it all together. She said well it's hard to take a picture of the inside of your head exploding. I thought that was apt.
Also if you are as tired as me (and you like spicy chicolate) get yourself to Starbucks today and order a skinny mocha but add a scoop of th chili mocha powder. Extra chocolate my and not as many calories. So yum.

No sleep til Vegas! No seriously, D coughed all night, the dog scratched all night and the neighbors woke us up at 5:30 at which time D came into cuddle me. But I had to get up and take a shower and she lost it. Standing outside the shower crying "cuddle me cuddle meeee don't leave meeee". Woke her sister up. She starts crying that I'm leaving. Now they are back on top of me and I have to get up and leave soon which is going to start the crying all over again. It's gonna be a long day. Like really long.
I'm fucking exhausted. My friend is a doula, her husband is out of town, and her client's water broke at midnight. She brought her kids over for me to babysit, and all the kids woke up and stayed up until 245am. The youngest ones woke up at 7.
My BIL and his wife and their 2 year old got here today. I am currently hiding in my room with Amelia and I am drinking. They get here and immediately give their son a pb&j and a granola bar with nuts. They were letting him walk around eating it and when we asked that they have him sit down to avoid getting nuts all over they got all huffy about it. Then we asked them to make sure they clean his hands after and he didn't want his hands cleaned so they told him that was fine. NO IT'S NOT!! They know about Amelia's allergies. This is ridiculous. I'm so pissed off and stressed out.
Can you ask them to keep their nut products to their room(s)? I would ask to sit down with them and discuss the nature of A's allergies again. Maybe with the bustle of travel they forgot and weren't thinking?

That is so disrespectful! Kick them out of the house. Seriously.
I'm really sorry @beth422. My SIL is the same way and it's soooo stressful and infuriating. I would talk with them again and tell them that it's making you very uncomfortable, and why, or make your DH do it. How many more days are you supposed to be there? Is leaving early a possibility? I know that would be a sucky end to vacation, but being around people like that is more stressful than it's worth for me.

We leave Saturday. My mil and my h are talking to them and I'm taking the kids for a walk.

Loco Coco, I wish I could come take that sweet baby and your big girls too and let you rest, that's so so awful!!
@beth422, I would be so upset and livid, I'm so sorry they're being so risky!
Matt came home to inform me he'll be working this weekend and next weekend. After a month solo and then another few days for his trip, I am not happy at all. Our anniversary is next week and we won't even be able to celebrate. And he has to go in the field for three weeks the end of October too. I'm so sick of having to parent alone.
It's a super long story but basically she's having health issues so her assistant will take over. Since there will only be 1 provider then they have to cut their kids. Corinne goes 4 days a week so she was at the bottom of the list

I hope it goes well. Please keep us updated. I really hope they shape up and you can enjoy the rest of your vacation. Thinking about you!
