We had storms roll through that knocked out our power last night. So we thought oh for sure one of the kids will wake us in the morning no need for an alarm. And we all slept in an extra hour lol. OF COURSE
My pink eye is really a drag. My eyes are really sensitive to light and it sucks. Driving was...interesting this morning.
Em had me up from 12:30-2:30. Then I got up for the day at 4:30. I feel like I've been hit by a bus.
There is a floating 3 Musketeers bar floating in the ad on top of this page and it's taunting me.
N had a total meltdown this morning when she asked if it was Monday. I kind of wanted to join her.
I was going to page you today. I think I have hit the 4 months wakeful with C. She was up 5 times last night. Previously she was getting up zero.
I just nurse her every time she gets up, because the boob seems to calm her and help her back to sleep. But I can't nurse 5 times a night forever. Is the wakeful a growth spurt? I could just rock her and see what happens... But she was so awake and alert. Do you have any suggestions? What do you do when you get up with Em?
I am sitting on the coach eating gluten free cheesies, waiting for H to make me breakfast. It's a holiday here but its pouring rain and I feel like crap, so I won't be doing much.
I woke up to an email that a lady I hired to pick up someone from the airport this morning was sick and could not. I just spent thirty minutes scrambling to hire another service and will now be late for work.
M is finally learning how to take naps, which is great. She's still sleeping great at night, too, but the last couple of weeks she has gone from waking up between 7 and 8 to waking up for the day at 6. Ugh. I guess I can't complain though.
It is so humid here, I am sweating in my office.
We had a yard sale Saturday. It rained the whole morning so we didn't have a good turnout and only made $105.
My car has been in the shop since last Wednesday. I was supposed to have it back the next day but still don't have it and probably won't until tomorrow. The loaner they gave me is nice, but it's kinda dirty on the inside and I just miss my car a lot.
So much rain this morning... I really want to crawl back in bed.
I feel bad for my dad. He's on vacation, and got a nasty infection from food poisoning that has put him in the hospital since Friday. It looks like it'll be Tuesday before he gets out. Even though he's fine (just tired and still a bit dehydrated) I almost used this to call out of work to sleep for a bit, then go visit him 2 hours away.
Also it is so funny how quickly babies do new things. Leo is a bit of a lazy bum and has always been slow with motor skills. Well this weekend he went from not pulling up to pulling up and cruising along furniture like it ain't no thing. Just in time for his first birthday in a couple weeks.
Also he is so cute because he clearly is his own biggest fan. Every time he does something cute he shrieks, laughs then claps for himself lol. It doesn't help that the three of us are constantly cheering for him as well. We are his own traveling fan club.

Hell week starts today. I plan on getting no sleep this week. I am already tired thinking about it. (Hell Week is how I refer to my company's conference week - it's a lot of fun but a lot of schmoozing and early mornings and late nights...and way too much drinking).
I had the BEST time in my hometown this weekend! Much needed family time and I got to meet FormerlyRR! It was fun and she is really sweet and cute. Here's a candid shot of me and some of my family from lunch at grandma's yesterday (cousin, me, brother, his girlfriend):
Being away from the special guy in my life has been hard. We have been texting a lot (no more boob shots, yet, lol). He has said he misses me multiple times which is SO nice because with ex, every time I went out of town I had to ask him if he missed me and then he'd usually reply with "eh". So it's nice to know someone cares Also, he sent me a text on Saturday that said C (his dog) missed me and really needed me to come back home. SWOON and cuuuuute.
I'm so tired from the wedding this past weekend. I need a weekend of doing nothing, soon. We've had big plans every weekend since the beginning of March, and I'm burning out.
H and I went on our hospital's tour yesterday afternoon, and I'm excited TO GET THIS THING OUT.

My allergies are out of control and I hate them. And the girls have runny noses and have been sneezing. Poor things.
We're' going OOT this weekend and were hoping to take an extra day off (next Tuesday) to get reorganized. I have a mandatory training at work. Who schedules a training the day after a holiday??
For a non-complaint: We had such a great weekend. H & I had a date night Saturday and then we took the girls to the zoo yesterday. It's so fun seeing things through their eyes.
My FIL died My BIL died I put in contacts, and when I tried to remove them, it tore my eyes open and ruined my Lasik
That sounds awful! Can you call the doctor about it?
I'm been discharged and am happy! Just waiting for DH to come and pick me up! I'm thrilled to go home, take a shower, sleep and see my kids. I'm so excited and can't wait!! My own bed and pillows will seriously feel like heaven!
I didn't have kids keeping me up, but I slept like shit last night. I'm exhausted. I feel like I just can't catch up on sleep. I never feel well-rested.
We had storms roll through that knocked out our power last night. So we thought oh for sure one of the kids will wake us in the morning no need for an alarm. And we all slept in an extra hour lol. OF COURSE
My pink eye is really a drag. My eyes are really sensitive to light and it sucks. Driving was...interesting this morning.
H made me get out of bed and go to the basement. I know he was being cautious and blah blah blah, but I was NOT interested in hanging out in the workshop/storage room at 11:30 last night.
LOL The tornado siren is right next our house and I vaguely heard it as I was drifting off to sleep. H came up and was like "Sooooooo, what do we do." Being the responsible parents that we are we decide we would let the kids sleep and just sit in the living room waiting for something to happen lol. We knew it was just a thunderstorm though since H thinks he is a meteorologist. We got one big gust of wind, knocked our power out and then that was it.
I need to call my doctor today and ask for some xanax. There has been so much going on lately and I'm struggling so hard trying to deal with it. I had my first panic attack in years last night. Not fun I still feel a mess this morning at work.
7 pm usually. Lately we have been stretching it out until like 7:15 or 7:30 and have been getting him to sleep in until 6:30. He seems to need like 10 1/2 to 11 hours of sleep at night.
DH went oot for work yesterday and I slept like crap last night. I can never sleep good when he is not here. I was up at 1,3 and then the dog got me up at 4 to go out. My alarm went off at 5:30 and I am soo not ready to be awake. Thankfully my little man slept like a champ.
I am trying a new shampoo bar, my hair is really soft and shiny but way more fluffy that I prefer. I also need to figure out the ratios for the vinegar rinse, or a way to soften the smell on my hair.
As much as my MIL would like me to believe otherwise, the lump on DD's neck is still there. This means I need to call her pedi back and get her in I mentioned it last week and he told me he wanted to see her if it was still there in a week--it will be a week tomorrow.
My stomach was all sorts of acidy and unhappy this morning, but it went away when I got to work--what does that mean?
We put an offer in on another house yesterday, and I'm really hoping this one works out, unlike the last one. I really love it, and I'm trying hard not to get emotionally attached to it in case we lose it again. Cross your fingers, toes and eyes, people!
We were invited to a surprise party this weekend where, on the invite, we were asked to contribute financially...you know, if we wanted to. This annoys me.
I could not sleep last night. I am going through a huge transition in my life and I feel like I'm lost. I can see that I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I see how my parents and family has shaped me, and not in a good way. I have been using coping mechanisms from my childhood that are not effective. They are hurting me, my husband and my children. I was a people pleaser and looked for acceptance from everyone else to make myself feel good.
I am making a lot of changes and it feels good. But I am having a hard time accepting how I lived my life before.
I am also trying to find a religion, or a higher source or something. I took a quiz online and it came up with Unitarian Universalist. I am reading about it and it sounds very interesting. Does anyone practice or know anything about it?
I think this is a midlife crisis? Quarter-life? I'm only 31, lol.

My sister is coming this weekend. I feel like we have visitors almost every other week. I'm excited though. We get along really well and she is D's most favorite person.
I've become the point of contact between MIL and H. For some reason she has gotten it in her head to text me to talk to H. I don't know why she feels the need to do this but it's annoying.
I spilt a cappuccino on Hs Kindle fire this morning and now it won't turn on I hope it starts working before he gets home from work.
I just swallowed a pill with one of those plastic casings that can be removed if you twist them and now it's logged in my throat. I always have trouble with those kinds of pills.
We had a really good weekend. Nothing spectacular happened. But we were all just really happy to be together. I love it.
7 pm usually. Lately we have been stretching it out until like 7:15 or 7:30 and have been getting him to sleep in until 6:30. He seems to need like 10 1/2 to 11 hours of sleep at night.
Ugh. It's so hard! Em is such a crappy napper that it's a struggle to keep her up until 6:30 pm. A few family members are making me feel guilty about putting her to bed so early but damn. The kid is exhausted and crying. I feel like it's mean to keep her up. I just don't know of any other parent who puts their baby to bed at 6:30 at night. It's so freaking early.
Jack always went to bed really early. Don't feel guilty about it.
Leo just needs a tad less sleep, but still needs to knock out a good chunk at night.
My coworker has on either really nasty perfume or her soap is just really strong smelling and its making me want to throw up. The smell is literally making my eyes tear.
And for those of you that said 11 weeks is a turning point I hate you. I'm 20 weeks today and STILL have friggen morning sickness. My baby hates me ;-(

I had a really nice weekend and the best part is that it isn't over yet. It is a holiday here so I'm sitting on the couch in my pjs still! Friday H and I had a great date night, Saturday I got lots of stuff done around the house and went shopping, yesterday I met up with a friend and we did a tour of some of the local bakeries and tasted butter tarts at each place. We ended up in 4 different small town and had a blast walking around, tasting the food, and chatting during the car rides. H and I also had great sex a couple of times this weekend!
I am currently 12 DPO and obsessed with checking my boobs. I swear they are heavy like they were when I was pregnant last time and my nipples are bigger. My period is due on Friday so I'm not going to test until the weekend if it doesn't come before then but it is going to be a long week. I know that it is very unlikely to get KU the cycle following my D&C, but part of me is holding out hope.
