Monday randoms

[imimahoney]

I randomly woke up at 3:50 and couldn't fall back asleep. I don't think one cup of coffee is going to do it today.

My MIL said something pretty shitty yesterday. She called to wish me a happy mother's day and then said "are you still planning on spending time away from your beautiful children?"

Ugh, thanks lady. My day was actually awesome and relaxing but way to make me feel like a turd for wanting some quiet.

Dh is pissed at her and is going to talk to her when he sees her on Wednesday.

[vthokie]

Ugh. Sorry imimahoney
I also woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. I can feel a headache emerging.
This is my last full week of school. Can't move fast enough. I have no love lost for this group

[TrudyCampbell]

Ew imimahoney
What mothers everywhere want is time alone

[laurack]

So gross imimahoney I'm sorry.

[laurack]

Turtle heads are done. I'll do the pizzas and paw / bone cookies during the week.

My ribbons from Etsy hopefully will get here soon.

I'm getting excited / nervous! I hope the weather is good Saturday!

[muppetinma]

laurack, those turned out great!

I sewed 5 dresses yesterday. 5. My sewing machine is tired. And then this morning I woke up in a panic that my sewing isn't perfect (my stitching always gets a little wonky in the underarms). But no one but the person sewing notices the underarm stitching, right?

imimahoney that stinks. The best part of my day yesterday was my time alone when I got a haircut and a pedicure. I love my kids so much, but Mama needs some me time.

[teamhayes]

The bug/animal guy comes today
I love when they come
I hate that it costs so damn much
I'd rather spend the money on someone cleaning the house but s already had a tick on him this year so it needs to be done

Bought some barber scissors to attempt to cut H's hair myself. I don't know what to do with boy hair, girl hair is so much easier! I don't want it short but it grows so fast and keeps getting in his eyes. I'm also too cheap to take him in every month especially when he doesn't sit still and it looks awful anyways. Let's hope it's not a disaster

[jnoellee]

imimahoney tell mil to suck it. Don't feel guilty one bit for taking some time to yourself!

I have Jane's IEP in a couple hours. I have to bring Ezra with me. Hoping it all goes well. I didn't have another option but to bring him so hopefully he just hangs out happily in his stroller.

Good luck jnoellee!!

The family we are relocating from Brazil for our work arrived today. All went well, but I had to help pick them up, show them around their apartment, etc, and just now got back to the office. My reports to the big boss are due today, and I am so far from being done it's ridiculous.

[creamsiclechica]

imimahoney, that was purposefully cruel, I'm so sorry she said that. I hope you enjoyed your day!

I am so exhausted from this weekend and we have such a busy ahead, I'm not looking forward to it. The upside is that it will make the week go fast, and it's one week closer to Matt being home. But it's a lot to think about lol. And I woke up to our carbon monoxide alarm beeping, but it's not an alarm, the unit needs to be replaced and I have to call our maintenance for that, but in the meantime, it is driving me crazy beeping every minute. I need more coffee I think.

[Faevantastic]

Those are great laurack!!!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!! I haven't been on here much lately but I wanted to say hi and that I miss all of you (even though I see a lot of you on social media).

[biblionerd]

Today is DH's bday, so the kids and I have been making cards for him and making a cake. They wanted to know why daddy didn't make cards with them or give me anything for Mother's Day. I don't know kids!!!! Go ask him.... 😡 I can't say I'm not used to it. Last year is the only year I got a Mother's Day present of any sort.

I miss you! how are the kiddos?! You should come back to us!

I miss you too!!! I try to check in often but have been go, go, go lately and haven't posted much.

The kids are great! Lincoln's so excited to be starting Kindergarten and will be going to visit my mom in CO solo at the end of June! Calvin is as sweet as ever, constantly singing and obsessed with puzzles. Olive is a little tornado, a cute one, but still a tornado. She's already trying to take steps and is just into everything. But she's so happy and loving and such a dream baby! This was taken last weekend how are the girls??

[chirpchirp]

Hi carawestt! Olive is getting so big!
laurack, the cookies look amazing!
I'm sorry imimahoney, that was an awful thing for her to say

[chirpchirp]

The weather is gorgeous today, so we've spent a lot of time outdoors. It's great for keeping the kids happy, but here's so much cleaning to do inside that's just not happening. I don't think yesterday's relaxing time was really worth it

[carawestt]

Loco Coco thanks!! She's insane. I'm not ready for her to be walking yet.

So glad the girls are doing well! And I know, our babies age so big. I'm already planning Olive's 1st birthday 😭

Hi!!! She's so big! I'm so sad by how fast it's gone.

[imimahoney]

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it.

This weekend I was stuck working so I'm off today and it's gorgeous outside.

The meeting went well. Ezra is so easy, I would have never been able to do that with Elias when he was 15 months. Ezra just smiled at everyone and played with some toys.

Jane didn't meet quite a bit of her goals but she has made progress. She will be in the same class next year and have summer school which is great. All of her aides and therapists are amazing so I feel good about everything. It's just hard. One of her goals was to start imitating language, which she hasn't started doing at all, as she is still completely nonverbal. (4 years old in August) She has improved in social interactions, smile when people greet her. It's just hard. I don't know if she will ever speak and I can't picture her speaking. She has made progress in PECS (picture icon communication) but it's been a slow process.

I'm happy with the outcome of the meeting though. Off to get Elias now from school!

[jnoellee]

Oops Ezra is 16 months not 15 lol

[laurack]

Hugs jnoellee

I had a good Mother's Day but then ian had to work last night and solo bedtime was egregious. I got them down then some a hole was using power tools outside at 9:30 pm and both woke up and took 2 hours to get down again 😡

[jsillyfun]

I literally booked a room at the Hilton for myself for next Mother's Day 😂
