You ever transcribe an appointment to the spouse calendar and accidentally make it for the wrong time? I get in such trouble when that happens. Makes me really wish I wasn't responsible for it.
mustardseed2007 - I have texted reminder for the wrong day!! And time - but the day was the big one. I cited that as a reason that my reminding a grown man about tasks that are on the calendar is a bad idea.

This is mostly a random/worry. The company in town that I'm really hoping has an opening, or will create one since they also do that when they like someone that just applies, when it comes time to apply for jobs has an opening right now for something that I would kick ass at. If rumors didn't spread through this town like wildfire, I'd be applying and trying to work out a PT schedule until late August. I told DH if it's still up in May I'm applying.

Oh, or the fatal mistake of marking off the time of the appointment but not blocking off time for the commute to get to the appointment? No DH, if you have to be at the doctor's office by 3pm for DD's appointment, you can not take a meeting at 2.
My old boss texted me last week asking for my help on behalf of his son. It required me calling in some favors from my sister and others, which I gladly did. I mean, I worked for him for 15 years, and it's what you do, right? So I got him the information he needed, and he didn't even say thank you.
FF to yesterday. I'm dipping my toe into consulting, and actually have a client. It's moving quickly, so I was looking for a sample statement of work and terms and conditions. Since he was just consulting for the past year, I thought he might have a format I could borrow. So I asked. Yeah. Never responded. I'm pissed. But I should not be surprised.
mellym, our experience matches pretty much everything you wrote, with the exception of my DH’s work schedule being pretty consistent. Months 3-7 were the hardest because I was pumping and back to work and baby didn’t sleep through the night yet. Baby gradually got on a more consistent schedule and I sleep trained/did CIO for his last remaining feeding at 7 months and now he’s a great 11-hr sleeper. My main advice is to try to find a baby formula that works. It was so liberating to say ‘I am going to pump for 20 min twice a day, and I get what I get.’ Pumping to replicate all feedings was hard with one or two kids, but would have driven me insane when dealing with 3.
I think it also gets easier when baby can sit up and doesn’t need to be held as often. Our current challenge is that our baby is super mobile. He crawled and started climbing the stairs at 6 months, and is now going to walk any day at 8 months. My older ones did these things much later. I would have gladly taken a few more months of him sitting contentedly on the shopping cart or high chair without trying to climb out
sdlaura, that's the point I'm getting to with pumping and keeping my sanity. I think you're right about when she'll be able to sit up on her own. We need all of the hands right now since she just wants to be held after a long day away from home. Wow, a walker at 8 months! Slow down baby!!
