I am not sure I am going to survive the day guys lol. Leo, my god, Leo
His behavior is just awful right now. He is miserable to be around. I pretty much spend all my time disciplining and it suuuuuucks. Toddlers are adorable, but I really don't like them. This is such a hard age for me to parent. I do great with babies. I do great with school aged kids. This age, neewwwp
H doesn't have to leave until noon today. My ass is out the door the second he gets up and I am not coming home until he has to leave. I am going to the gym, grocery store, other errands and probably out for coffee. Smell ya later boys.
Jack has a bday party today. I am going to have to cut Leo's nap short to take Jack, which is always awesome. I am going to take Leo to the mall to run around and get his haircut. I also think I am going to be able to go into Sephora and ATL to look at a couple things I have had my eye on. lol for days.
I am making red beans and rice tomorrow because I can not stop thinking about all the food we ate.
Speaking of that, now that my H got his fancy new job, wanna know the first thing he said to me? "Maybe after I've been there a year, we can try for another baby!" *screams internally*
I'm thinking of taking M out to breakfast this morning but I feel lazy.
I applied for another position within my company this week. It is my dream position, but in the wrong location. It would serve to get my foot in the door for when the position I would want would open (a few years away--a retirement).
I love where I am now and everything I do at my job with the people, but not the exact position I am, which is somewhat new and poorly led. I kind of don't know what I would do if I got an interview and actually was offered the job.
I think I would rather be five and just have snacks and play. Who needs adult decisions?!
Ugh, H is on my shitlist this morning. Last night I took the kids back to the hotel and let him stay, bc it's his brother's wedding and bc the shuttle was bringing them back at 10:30 anyway. No word from H until midnight, when MIL texts that they're all at an after-party at the hotel. So H was out partying with all of our friends until 1:30am. Gee, H, maybe you could have come up for a while so I could go, too. Now he's all hung over and we have a brunch and a million plans and a five-hour drive tonight.
The only solution is for you to get drizunk tonight. And show your boobs to your MIL!
I know I could do infancy again, and I think another school-aged kid would fit nicely into our existing family, but there is no way in hell I want to go through toddlerhood again. It's the worst. Enjoy every second of your free time today, eddy.
Today is our annual academic team competition, so I'm putting on my coaching hat. My spelling team is solid, but I'm worried that the kids who are doing editorial writing, feature writing, and news writing are going to flake. It doesn't help that they're all trying to earn NHS points before graduation, and the stupid NHS sponsor scheduled a big service project for today even though she knew full well about this competition (which has been on the calendar since last July) because she's a coach too. I'm not going to relax until I see their faces get off the bus at 10:30.
Last night we were out to eat when H's stomach pain started so we had to exit stage right quickly. We had a great waitress and I just realized I only gave her an 18% tip. I meant to give her more because everything was messy when we left and she had given the boys multiple drinks etc. Fuck I wish I wasn't terrible at math lol.
The good news is I know this restaurant pays their servers $9 and hour so thankfully she isn't working for pennies. We also go there regularly so I will need to double her tip next time. We always get her on Friday nights.

I have a week of cleaning, relaxing, planning and playdates ahead of me. Pretty much I have TIME, something I've been sorely lacking. So while nothing exciting is planned, I'm excited.
Headed into work. I decided I'd rather work a short day today while H is still away than super long days all week when he's back. This week I didn't get home until after 8 every night and I don't want to have another week like that.
My kitties decided we should all either get up or get pet starting at about 3am. They both pet my hair trying to wake me, also patted cheeks, head butt my face and hands and started knocking stuff off the dresser. I kicked them out but let them back in when it sounded like they were going to scratch the door down. I need a nap!
We stayed home for spring break and had a really fun stay cation. We did all kinds of stuff and had activities planned for every day and so far we have only spent $80. $20 bucks left in our budget and todays line up is totally free (free movie at the local theater, open gym at gymnastics studio, family swim at the Y)!

But I feel bad.
If you have time, pop back in and drop off an envelope with a note and some cash for her. She will so appreciate it, promise!
I love Saturday mornings. It's my only morning off!!! I just woke up and am enjoying coffee now. After lounging for quite a while, I'm going to tackle the window washing since it'll be so cool and dry here today!!!! Maybe wash the patio furniture too. The pollen has been out of control lately. Then lesson plans, freshen the guest bedrooms and baths before first come next week and maybe go for a long walk!
H has a friend coming over for the hockey game this afternoon, then MIL is coming over for dinner.
I want to spend some more time working on the chicken run today and we need to go to the farm store to grab a couple things for them. They're definitely bored and I'm trying to find ways to alleviate that.
A friend from high school is in town and wants to get together today. She was talking about grabbing breakfast, which is fine, but it would interrupt my Saturday snuggle time with H. What if this is my last one without a baby(!)?
Today we have to clean and organize the house to perfection because we have a showing tomorrow and too much going on to do it then. Then swim lessons for Ollie and my IL's are coming down to take us out to dinner for H's birthday. Yay free dinner!
Tomorrow I have my first half since the baby and then we have to head directly to a baby shower. I really wish it would be warmer tomorrow since H is bringing the kids down to meet me at the finish line. God I hope it goes well. I'm a little nervous : /

We were watching Bloodline last night on Netflix annnnnnd Jacinda Barrett is in it. I was like who is she, who is she? And then I finally realized she was on Real World London. Also, Bloodline is pretty good!

My dog got the runs last night. We came home from drinking after the funeral/no alcohol Indian post-funeral gathering and the poor thing had shit all over my MIL's carpet in the dining room. We cleaned it up as best we could in our drunken state. The dog then woke me up at 4am and 5:30am to go out (where he was sick again)...I was hungover as hell and am now exhausted because I just couldn't sleep much after the second round. I have my field hockey club's end of season dinner/dance tonight and I'm just not in the mood - I'm cranky as hell and sure my currently bloated body won't fit into my tight fitting red dress. Bah.
