My H has a work dinner tonight. I am considering setting the clocks forward so dd1 will go to bed half an hour earlier and I will have more time to myself.

Apparently DH withheld $3.89 more than he should have for retirement which makes extra work for our taxes. He was like "what? You mean there is no buffer?" Not cool, DH.
I was all anxious about getting the girls down to one nap And wanted it to happen asap. So we have been trying it the last few days but uhm, I scheduled their birthday party around their 2 nap schedule. If they are taking one nap it will be right in the middle of the party. I'm a moron!! Back to two naps they go tomorrow, at least through the party next week.

It's practically DST anyway. You would just be helping her transition slowly of course.
also, K asked to nurse a million times today. Every single time I walked by her to fill my water, make lunch, etc. She asked to nurse. Tonight I put her in her chair for dinner and she signed to nurse I told her No its not time to nurse right now, it's time to eat dinner. She shook her head no at me. She can't wave hello (she claps or does nothing) but she can demand to nurse.
Aaand, this is why I can't cut back on the number of sessions.
I'm doing baby foot right now, working on our taxes, and drinking a diet caffeine free coke. So, coolest person on mmm tonight? Clearly.
gah, I can't believe you are doing your taxes already…I need to get my act in order but feel so unmotivated. Partially because I am worried we will owe because of our EI income.
Also my baby is sort of pathetic looking right now. He has cradle cap, baby acne, and a receding hairline, plus he is too long for NB clothes but way too small for 0-3 so everything is really ill fitting.

I think weaning + my period+ snow is making me legit crazy. I don't know if I want to cry, eat a jar of speculoos or just take a nap... Or all of them simultaneously.
@awinter, E was totally the same way. I understand!
We missed my friend's son's party on Saturday because of the plague in our house. She dropped off 3 good-sized pieces of Costco cake for us. H ate his right away. I ate part of mine Sunday and part of it for breakfast today, but DD kept wanting bites. I told H I let DD eat her piece tonight (she lost weight being sick last week - you can see her little ribs, so IDGAF what she eats as long as she's eating). Except I only gave her half and now that she's in bed, I have a diet coke and the other piece of cake left for myself.
DD wrote a lullaby for DS2. It's called "We Don't Want Our Little Baby to Die". She sings it to him while gently stroking his cheek.
I love your family.
My sister made my mom a birthday card one year and the front had her name + her age on a tombstone. I believe the inscription was "Mom I don't want you to die. Happy Birthday".

It's all good, I'm a tax dork.
I know…I usually am too…I generally want them done early since we usually see a return, lol.
Got home from work and no one was home. Usually MIL watches the kids at our house.
She called a few mins after I got home and said, "sorry we aren't there, but the weather was just too perfect, so I had to take the boys to the park to fly kites. We're in our way home now." I have the best MIL!
So I'm just sitting here enjoying a few mins of quiet. So nice!
GIVE ME THE SAHM MEDAL. I am COMPLETELY caught up on laundry! There's not a piece of dirty laundry in the whole house. Even all the sheets and towels are clean. WHERE'S MY TROPHY?!

I am hoping so much that we get enough snow on Thursday and Friday for school to be closed. The pressure of getting two sets of kids to to different schools while dragging a toddler is getting to me. The whole pick- up routine is not much better since we have something everyday of the week between the school age kids. Then we are suppose to practice piano, read, do homework ....
I am so so glad DH did not go to work for 2 government agencies that would involve him traveling a lot and not being able to tell me what he does.
I always tell DH I wish he would go on classified projects at work so I wouldn't have to hear about them! lolol (I am j/k but engineering talk can be boring)
My husband just assumes I understand and enjoy what he is saying and gives me very detailed descriptions of problems he is trying to figure out (There is classified stuff he can't tell me, but it is usually big picture sort of stuff that he is very good about keeping to himself). I very rarely understand him and my mind just wanders off. I always feel a little bad, but he always seems hurt and offended if I tell him I don't understand, so instead I pretend to listen.
Also we quit newborn cloth diapers today. I cannot deal with the leaking around his little chicken legs every time he pees and we figured out that prefolds were irritating his peen. We'll pick it back up when he porks up enough for OS diapers.
OMG! And I just went back to the boys room to put something away and she made the kids beds!!! Who tales the time to make kids beds?!?! My awesome MIL, that's who.
