The dog was SUCH a pain in the ass last night. Usually he sleeps through until my alarm goes off, but he was on the bed, off the bed, chewing his bone, licking my arms/face, shaking his collar all around. OMG. I'm exhausted. And J slept through it all.
J's son started football practice last night. Practices are Tues, Weds, Thurs until school starts, and then they'll be Tues and Thurs, with games early Saturday morning. He's 5. The schedule seems excessive.
I've been working so much the last few weeks. I'm off Friday. I only have to make it through two more days.
I stepped on a soft spot of ground getting off the bus last night,my foot sunk in and I twisted my ankle and busted up my knee. A group of guys walking by saw me fall and rushed over to see if I was ok. I was more embarrased than anything.

today is day 4 of DH being gone for 7. We are going to be totally fucked for getting ready on time because I am just done and can't muster the motivation to get everyone ready. They've eaten, which is a huge step in the right direction, but I can't handle the whining for everything else.

I'm giving you hugs or a slap on the ass, whichever you need most. I'm only on day 2 of 4 and feel like I still have the loooongest week ever ahead of me. Huge props for doing it for a full week and with multiple children.
I'm considering taking Andy out for dinner tonight so that I don't have the added complication of cooking/cleaning dishes. Lol. Mommy Baby Date Night!

Hang in there!
Thank you. I want you to know you guys have been in my thoughts ( in a non creepy way!) since your announcement yesterday. So so happy for your family.

We're having sandwiches, on paper plates, lol. Ok, logging off now! Thanks, ladies.
#2 is trying to kill me by not sleeping anywhere but on me and insisting on me walking around with her during her waking time. She's a little high maintenance right now.

I thought I was going to die last week after 7 days of DH OOT, and we still had another week to go. While it's not impossible, it's so effing hard, the change in routine just throws everyone off and makes it even worse. Hang in there, it'll be over before you know it!
There is so much stupid/obtuseness at work right now, and it's making me (and several other people) ragey.
I am not looking forward to the ILs visit this weekend. I don't have any issues with them, but houseguests arriving Friday afternoon when we were gone over the weekend and then a full work week is just exhausting for me- there's no downtime.
Hart woke up at 5:45 this morning - which sucks but had its perks
1. I walked into the kitchen to find a huge spider crawling across the floor. Not a good thing in itself, but if I hadn't been awake that early, who knows where that ugly bastard would be hiding in my house. He jumped at the same time I jumped. And then I squished his nasty ass
2. I was packing the car for the work/daycare commute and got to witness the best/saddest white trash fight in the middle of the street. This couple was fighting over both their cell phone and their baby. Sadly, they both seemed more interested in getting the cell phone from each other than the baby

Our baby had a super couple of weeks with sleeping at night, but we've done some traveling in recent weeks and it's gone into the shitter. I am so tired.
Last night after we returned from our trip to visit family, he decided he wanted to play at 3 AM. We wound up breaking the no co-sleeping rule and putting him into bed with us. After playing with my nose and smiling at me in the dark for a few minutes, he went back to sleep for another three hours.
I'm LOLing at us because we had a bunch of stuff on our increasingly useless "we absolutely won't do this" list.
My sister is coming to visit this morning before she goes to work. I'm excited to see her and J always has fun when she's here. He's really turning into a toddler. He can be so much fun, super cute and snuggly, but he's also wanting to be independent and has quite the 'tude at times.
Our blu-ray player won't play Netflix. Ever since we got the stupid thing it doesn't do what it is supposed to.
Ours doesn't either. That's one of the reasons we picked the one we did; to watch Netflix on it. But we were too lazy to return it. Eventually we got Apple TV as well.
Her fiance or whatever calls her "cunt" and I said something about it, that it's demeaning and offensive. And she's all "oh hehe, we call each other cunts". Ok. Well, gross, but at least do it in privacy and not blast it all over facebook because it just makes your fiance look like a giant raging dick. I'd be livid if my husband called me that, even "joking".
I am sweating. I feel like since DS was born I am hot all.the.time. I'm at work, people are saying its cold and wearing sweaters. I'm sweating. I never used to sweat. I hate this.
puddleofgrace! Sooooo excited that you got some sleep last night! And that's very promising about Emily putting herself back to sleep.
I hope it's the start of something. Her one tooth has totally broken through, so maybe that's helping? Fingers crossed that it's getting better.
That's how it starts, yknow? One night here and there and then it gets more regular. The tooth thing is big. Poor baby, sounds like shes been fighting that for awhile. I'm grateful that Andy has always responded very well to Motrin during teething.

Sorry, I didn't mean to like this, I meant to quote...
How old is your DS? I was like this for the first year after both of my kids were born. I think it was hormonal. It went away as soon as they turned a year.

What the hell is this? I have this problem too! And I wake up drenched in sweat. And my sweat seems stinkier too. :^)
Seriously, I'm the same way. I am always hot and I sweat so much more easily than I used to. And yes! The smell is terrible, omg. What's going on??

Is it a Toshiba? I got one for Christmas (Black Friday special) and it worked for a couple of days, and then never connected to the Internet again. Apparently that's a common issue. We took it back.
Panasonic. I guess they all have an issue with their wifi. You have to go in and change the IP to close to your ipconfig but not the exact same. It finally worked on that.

He's almost 9 months. Yesterday I was home sick and alone at home. I turned it down to 70 and walked around in a tank top. It was glooooorious.
So there's hope! This has to end, I hate being hot.
This is my first week back to work after vacation and DDs and SD all started cheerleading practice this week. I am exhausted.
My house is a mess but I can't seem to muster up enough energy to do anything about it
M is all signed up for preschool. She starts in 3 weeks and is ridiculously excited. She picked out her own backpack (Tangled) and walks around with it on her back every morning, just waiting to go. LOL
I "quit" my up oncoming job. My boss seemed cool with it. They've had low enrollment this year and she thinks another instructor will snap up my class. I figure my chances of ever working with them again are slim now. Bleh.
However, the deciding factor was dh coming home from a 5 day trip and saying "Hey, I'm gonna be home for 36 hours before I leave again and don't worry if my phone rings in the middle of the night. It's going to do that a lot now."
I don't need the added challenge of logistical childcare issues at present. He sort of needs a full time support system right now and I'm cool with that. When his new position is more established I can hopefully find something closer to home to do during school hours.
I know I've got a mom blob situation right now though. I'm going to join the Y ASAP for the childcare, gym, and yoga classes. Lol.
This might be more of a flameful, but I am seriously considering asking for an over/under shotgun for my birthday and Christmas combined. It's even worse because I really hope to be pregnant by then and won't be able to shoot it for months. I just really want one and know the cost is a splurge that we will probably be less inclined to do once we have kids. I feel like such a redneck.
My husband is the best. I mentioned a few weeks ago how I wanted to repaint our dining room and foyer to match our upstairs hallway. When I got home from work yesterday, he had done it.
