I have to break it to our nanny this afternoon that we're putting DS in the same in-home daycare that DD went to once DD starts school full-time in September. I'm not looking forward to the conversation, but I am SO looking forward to paying less than half of what we do now for childcare, and not having people in the house all day. It will be so nice to come home to everything just as I left it, and be able to telework or take days off in an empty house.
I also have to lead a meeting this afternoon and don't feel like it. I don't wanna be a grown up today.
I wish I could do something to help my friend. We found out yesterday that her IVF wasn't successful and of course she's just devastated. I did text my coworkers and warn them against "it was God's will," "it's probably just not the right time," and "just stop thinking about it; I know a lot of people who stopped trying, then WHAM! They ended up pregnant." All things these nimrods have said to her in the past.

I'm a big ol' AW today. I have written a little over 8,000 words for my master's dissertation in two weeks (with many, many weeks, if not months of research behind it). I need to write between 9,200 and 10,800 words. I'm running out of steam and ideas of what to write in the next 1,500 words. And I need to finish it (mostly) within another week. Blah.

You just did something to help your friend. I heard those things too when my IVF wasn't successful and it killed me even more. My friends who were just there to let me vent, who took me out for a drink and a laugh when I was ready were the best.

Can you help her find someone who might need her services? Or at least give her an amazing reference? Nanny's are used to service ending but as long as you have either of those things for her, it'll be okay.
H left for a business trip this morning at 6:30 and when he woke up at 6 I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep, so got up early and had time for coffee and the news before work.
I'm not looking forward to H being away all weekend, but am excited to starfish tonight with the bed to myself!

Oh, absolutely. We'll give her a recommendation letter that she can provide with her resume to new families and use on care(dot)com (where we found her), more than happy to be a reference, and if she wants we'll send out a note to the email list from DD's preschool that she's available. It's just going to be an awkward conversation to have.

I'm so ready for Friday. Work has been busy, I'm going to the beach on Saturday, Andy has been really well behaved this week and I just want to spend time with him.
I asked Andy if he was a big boy yesterday and he said "No. I Mama's baby"
My kids are both in swim lessons. After their lessons they can swim for a while on their own. There is this kid that my ds plays with that freaking keeps trying to push his face under water. DS isn't wearing a life vest and this kid is. His parents are never paying attention to him and I've gotten on to him at least a half dozen times. Last night his dad was sitting near me the last time I got on to him and I turned to his dad and said "You have GOT to say something to him". Finally they left. The dad told my h that the kid's already gotten kicked out of swim lessons somewhere else.

aww so sweet! his smile is ridiculously cute in your sig pic. he seems like a very happy kid!
Took the day off to spend with my nephew before he goes back home. Right now I'd rather stay home and be lazy. Doesn't help that I have to find new plans since its hot as balls out and supposed to rain. Not park weather at all!

Thanks for noticing the new pic! He really is a pretty happy kid. Its funny, he was a very temperamental infant. No colic or other issues but he cried all the time. Now he is just a little lovebug. papie there is hope!
I bought a dress yesterday for a wedding at Plato's Closet. I had never heard of the brand before but I loved the colour and fit. Later when I googled I found it's a fairly expensive brand so I'm pretty pumped I got such a great deal and didn't buy a crappy dress.
I bought bridesmaids dresses last night from a store that's closing. I was not with my bridesmaids and who knows if they'll fit, but we can get them altered. If they totally don't work I'll just sell them online.
Ya, not getting married until next summer. But they were a deal!
Happy Birthday cheeseandcrackers I bought tickets to a concert and now DH says he doesn't want to go. And none of my friends like country music. I really want to go though, I'm pretty bummed out
I was kind of bummed that I was going to be alone with the kids til dinner, but my bff just texted that she's picking them up at 10 so that I can "go shopping, get a mani/pedi, or just take a nap!" She's awesome. But I have to admit, the last option is sounding reallllly tempting.
I can't get E to nap anywhere but in my arms. I think it's his teeth bothering him or something but he'll be sound asleep when I put him down and 10 minutes later he's up again. I resorted to trying to nap with him in our bed yesterday but that didn't work either. Frustrated, party of one.
