I'd call first thing and see how they would like to proceed.
I just realize DH got everything on HIS list completed this weekend and MY list went untouched. My list was us fixing the washer (it's a two person job) and returning a few things to the mall. GRRR
I'm having one of those days where I'm irrationally upset with dh because of a dream. He kept drowning litters of kittens anytime I left the house so I think I'm justified. I told him about the dream and he assured me I was much more likely to come home to find him on the floor buried under a pile of cuddly kitties. It's still going to be tough to shake that dream though.
J is laying in bed with me. I enjoy these mornings snuggles. H isn't going to be home until 8 and I have no clue what I'll do with J today. I was thinking of trying to take him to the beach but I feel like that may be a two person job.

I am tired of going to the park. It seems like I am there all the time but if I go with friends it is fun. But it so hard in the mornings to get motivated enough to get out the door.
I'm really bummed about my minivan hunt. We're finally ready to buy, but no dealers will work with me! Any advice holly116 or anyone else? I'd been exchanging emails with a local car dealership about a minivan I had my eye on. They refused to budge on price, so I refused to test drive it. Around and around we went. They says they "really wanted my business" and that they could only drop it a measly $300 (WTF). So I (graciously, I think) offered to split the difference between their price and mine. They said no. Fine, whatever assholes, go ahead and lose a sale over a piddly $1800.
I had an awesome but exhausting weekend. I was planning to take DD to a nearby animal park today but I had to ask for a rain check because I just need to sit and do nothing.

We had a dealer yesterday going round and round trying to figure out how another dealer gave us the price he did. H kept saying he didn't want to waste their time if it wasn't going to work and the dealer said he didn't want to waste OUR time- H said he was (lol). The manager got pissy and stormed off. It was only like $1000 or less and they lost the sale (and any future sales). So they really may not be able to do it. I'd check with other dealers too...

We had a crazy weekend. I'm going to skip the gym this morning so L and I can get groceries and make sure to be home on time for lunch and nap time. He needs to have a more normal day and recover.
I think my mild sex disappointment was mainly caused by not seeing DD all weekend. Now that I'm with her again I'm excited for another girl
Mine is from not ever having a girl and not being prepared for that. But when I see pictures of cute little girls I get more excited. I think I need time to get used to the idea. Then if it actually is a boy I'll just be excited for brothers I guess. Lol.
I have a lot to get done at work but also a million personal things to take care of like scheduling appts, errands for j's party, etc. It's causing me to just sit here and get nothing done because I don't know what to do lol.
I laughed because the first thing people say to my husband regarding a second girl is "are you going to have a third to try for a boy?" No one has asked me this. They know I am no good at pregnancy.
I HATE when people ask that. It's as if no one could possibly be happy to have all girls, especially not a dad. A boy would just make it ALLLL better. Barf.
1 week PP and today is my first day back at trying to eat better...I am starting by cutting out Starbucks (TEARS)...back to my green tea regiment from before my babies...I do love my green tea, but it is nothing like a nice latte. I am down 15-20lbs (I don't know quite what my weight was when I delivered), so now I have about 55lbs left to lose to get to my goal weight (45 to get to where i was before #1, but only 22 to where I was before #2).
I think I am going to take the kids to my work today, just to say hi...that and walmart will be my two big 'errands'...whatever happens I want to be home by noon so that DDs nap schedule doesn't get messed.
@starry...the number of people who asked about whether we would have a third if #2 was a girl was ridiculous. And if I hear that we have a millionaire's family one more time I might lose it. Who gives a shit, it's not like we had a say in what we got. And selling all her clothes for essentially NOTHING is killing me.

Sunday night L slept 7-5 (10 hours) and last night after "shifting" his whole day he only slept 8-4 (8 hours). Ugh!
But today is my birthday! So after nursing him, when it became clear he wasn't going back to sleep, my H took him down stairs and I went back to sleep. I just woke up a few minutes ago and H is currently out picking up my McDonald's breakfast. Off to a good start!
I really wanted a boy the first time around but I love DD to pieces. I would love a boy the second time around but would be just as excited for a girl.
The crib we got for P has two drawers in the bottom of it. E can open them and she takes everything out of them. In other words, they are useless. Same with her change table, which is open, where I keep her cloth diapers...she takes them all out of the bins. And a cute little ikea cart where I have receiving blankets (that we NEVER use), she takes those out. These are all good time wasters for her, but really they just make more work for me when I have to clean it all up.

I am pissed. My dad told me there was a civil engineer coming over to look at our drainage problem today at 8am. I asked H to take DD to DC so I could be here to talk to him.
8;15, I call my dad to see where he is. Oh no, it's tomorrow. And H calls me stressed as all hell from the car because DD said she peed and now he has anxiety about that.
And tomorrow he has a meeting at 9 so he probably won't be able to take DD to DC tomorrow, I will, and we won't be able to speak to the CE. Ugh.
I am so freaking ready for Bas to learn more food words. Breakfast especially is difficult because we will feed him just about anything but he won't ask for specific things (other than yogurt which is a given). So I make him a little plate and then he'll eat some or none and beg for our food and auuuuugh. Or he'll happily eat something for 2 days and on the third he treats it like dog poop. So much food waste. Too early for negotiations.
Have you tried giving him two choices? On the weekends I'll hold up the box of cereal bars and the box of cheerios and ask AJ which one he wants and he will usually point at one of them (those two are the current favorites, but pancakes are making a comeback so sometimes one of them is replaced by the box of frozen pancakes). Then he gets that one with one of his staples, either yogurt or a banana.
The eating something for two days and then refusing on the third is a constant battle in our house too...I've found rotating staples helps some but not completely. Toddlers, man.
DH just called and I-10 w is shut. People are turning around and going the wrong direction on the highway. Try to reschedule, noodleskooze - you have no idea if you'll be able to arrive on time.
Ugh I hope he's ok! I feel so bad for the people who have been stranded all night.
@starry Your "try for a boy" story reminded me that my dad, who is definite BEC territory for me, asked me for the third week in a row this weekend when I was going to give him a granddaughter. My parents don't know that I'm currently pregnant, but DUDE. Back the hell off. Because what if this one is a boy too? I was also pissed because he kept talking about it to C like, "Don't you want a sister? I know your mom does!" Ugh. So apparently I shouldn't have ever told my mom that I really wanted a girl last time (before we knew) and it means that I'm never going to be TRULY happy if I only have boys. Annoying.
C was back to daycare this morning after a week off. Normally he LOVES his Debbie, but today he wouldn't sit by her and sat at the end of the couch by himself eating his box of raisins. Hopefully he warms back up to her quickly!

So, this isn't going to change for me for a while then? today we wasted most of a banana and half a muffin.
