Yup, started 2 threads this morning. I've been awake forever and I'm bored. What's going on today? And for the "thoughtful" part, what do you love about your SO? We love to rag on these men but what makes you keep them around?
DH has a special ability to get on my nerves and can be pretty clueless but when he IS attentive, he goes above and beyond like there's no in between. Also when he does play with the girls he gets so into it that my heart just melts. Once DD1 had him galloping around the house on a pretend horse wearing a basket (helmet) on his head. He also can make me laugh like nobody else can, despite his terrible sense of humor.

It is supposed to storm all day and it's already starting so I think it will be an indoor day for us. Good time to test out my rainy day Pinterest board
If my husband has a day off, he will take majority of the overnight feeds the night before. DD2 likes to start the day early and he doesn't so he said he would rather get up motn and not be up early, I'll take it!
Has anyone else read The Forgetting Time? I just finished it and would recommend it. I am generally a cynic and am not religious, but damn this is intriguing!
I rarely fight with my DH and when we do it is always because I am a crabby bitch. He is so amazingly patient with me (and our babies!!) that most days I feel incredibly lucky that he still wants to be with me!

Good Morning. Here at the office on this gloomy day. C actually gave me a 3.5 block of sleep last night. That's his longest stretch since I can't even remember when.
As for MH, he has always been such a rock for me. I don't know how to describe it other than to say he is the yin to my yang. Whatever qualities I am lacking in and wherever I find myself struggling, he is able to pick me up and help me make sense of things.
No plans here. I'll hopefully flesh out some new assignments I dreamed up yesterday for my journalism classes (those of you that have me on FB might have seen that post). I am pretty proud of my photography assignments for that class. The kids will have to do a photo scavenger hunt, a flat lay (like in magazines and they're all over Pinterest, it's pretty fun), both as groups, then their unit project will be a photo series that they do on their own with a synopsis of the inspiration and a presentation. It's all totally new stuff.
I'm just so bored with my current lectures so I'm scrapping it all!
Thoughtful shit: H is very honest. You pretty much always know where you stand with him, and he's not afraid to call people out on their bullshit. While it can sting at times, I can't handle wafflers and people who don't speak their mind. So it works out well for us.

Yes, I really liked it. I thought it was an interesting meditation on death and dying. I really enjoyed it, and it wasn't as predictable as I expected.

E was much happier yesterday and bedtime went relatively smoothly. She was back in the crib last night and even put herself back to sleep at 3:30 (oh wait I forgot, babies can't self soothe.) It's like 80 degrees and 1 million percent humidity (ok, 90) and here I'm all dressed up in my best (wool) suit for a VIP presentation. I'm so uncomfortable.

Here's a FFTC for you all- I'm wearing side panel maternity pants!! These things were fucking useless when I was preg. Didn't accommodate my belly at all.

I'm at work for the next hour or two, then going to get my squish and hang out at home for a while before driving to the airport. 7pm flight and then back by 8pm tomorrow, so it's a quick one.
My husband is very kind, and he is patient with me. I'm the cause of 99.99% of our arguments and he is always patient and nice and let's me bitch without freaking out. He's also extremely smart and I admire him for that.
I'm soooooo tired today. I didn't go to bed until midnight or so, and my alarm went off at 5:30. The 4-10 schedule is exhausting but I'm going to RELISH not having to come to work tomorrow.
MH is not necessarily the nicest or sweetest person (then again, neither am I), but he has his moments lol. I know that he loves me and our son. His strengths are typically my weaknesses. We work really well together and he works incredibly hard to provide for us as a family. He is also extremely handy- he can fix anything, build anything, take every concept I have come up with and make it a reality.
Oh I love MH for many reasons. He's smart, we have goofy fun. he's amazing with E, he chooses to do MOTN stuff, he's been patient with me. He's my biggest cheerleader and he's super hot. But, honestly I just love him deep down.

I love my DH's intelligence. I also love how much he loves his family (although his family drives me crazy). I love that he does little things for me like fill up the gas in my car when I was pregnant and hated the smell.
The most amazing thing is what a great father he had become. Although he doesn't spend a lot of time with our breastfed baby just yet, he has a really special relationship with our daughter. I love when I find him fast asleep next to her under the Disney princess sheets with a book in his hand.
This reminds me, I have to get her to make some sort of father's day craft today!

I'm running around picking up plans for work and currently sitting in my car for a minute to myself before heading to the office.
My SO can be so sentimental sometimes and I love that. He likes to go through pictures from our past together and relive some of the special moments that have gotten us to where we are today.

TwoPeas good luck today! I hope it's smooth traveling for you.
Yes good luck! Let us know if you have any pointers for flying with a 7 month old! We are flying in a few weeks and I feel like it is going to be so much harder than it was with a 3 mo! She is SO loud now! Everyone will hate us! Lol

As for MH. He's my ride or die. He is in it for the good, bad, and ugly and he never falters. I have been with him through an 60 pound weight gain and at my heaviest feel just as adored and wanted as my lightest.

I've been unusually grumpy that last week or so and I think it's because I feel unsatisified with work and confused about what I should do. I switched to a small company 3 years ago and while I like it well enough, I don't think my design ability is being challenged as much as my previous job and because of that, I have started questioning my worth. It's also got a commute I don't love. So I've started to look at city jobs close to home, but it makes me nervous to change jobs because I'm starting to question myself. I also feel like I'm at that hard experience level of 10 yrs which makes me expensive and not as easily trainable as a newbie, but not an expert. I don't know if I should go to the public side because then I probably will never design, but I don't know about trying to find a better gig at a private firm that allows flexibility with family life. I wish I was as motivated as I was out of college, but my priorities have changed with DD. I don't know what that perfect balance looks like for me and it makes me kind of depressed.

I'm thankful for my husband in soooo many ways. He's so patient in everything. He puts up with a lot - my anxiety issues, his crazy sister - and yet he remains calm. If he gets angry, I know I really screwed up. He's a wonderful father and so loving and affectionate to G. He works hard and takes pride in his accomplishments. He tells me I'm beautiful on my worst days. I'm pretty lucky.

I think I understand where you're coming from ldubhawksfan. I'm not as challenged as I have been in previous jobs but I also don't think this is a good time for me to look for something else. I've got a lot of flexibility here and an easy commute- things I value while my littles are so young. But of course the flip side is like you mentioned, wondering about your worth.

I need to get this off my chest....I'm worried about MH. He's had flu like symptoms for about 3weeks now. He went to UC 1.5weeks ago (the same one that gave C a clean bill of health). They did a strep test and flu test and both came back neg. He went to his dr today bc he's still not well. They're going to do some blood tests which we'll know the results to in a few days. Just guessing, the dr says it sounds like Lyme disease so she put him on abx just in case. Of course, I'm spiraling and going crazy.
