Soooooo. I got like 7 hours of sleep last night and officially feel like superwoman. I'm sure the feeling will fade soon. Yesterday went well. Actually, the girls have thus far been okay to manage. As long as I beat them both awake, I can set up my day to run pretty smoothly for now.

M slept 6 hours straight last night. It's a miracle. I'm keeping Jo with me again. I think we are going to take a field trip to the post office.
Yesterday DH came home and we went to an auction with both kids. That was fun, but too hot to be out for long. But it was nice of him to come home early and made me dislike him less.
Morning! I got good news that my car won't be totaled. The deer did $3,500 in damage, but the estimator says my car is worth $5,500. Sooooooo, yay!
This poor car. A teenager once sideswiped it as he tried to pull out of a parking spot. His dad gave me a check to fix the damage in exchange for not calling insurance (he had just gotten his license). FIL once backed into the exact spot the deer hit, so this is the second time that particular headlight and corner panel have been replaced.
I really need people and animals to stop hitting my car.
In baby news, M is cutting some top teeth and is very screechy about it. The first teeth were a breeze. These other ones are not quite so easy.
Just pulled into work. Wayne was up every hour to hour and a half. I feel like death warmed over. I've had my heater on the whole way to work because I'm freezing. Hope y'all have a good day!
D woke up last night crying about his water, which in turn woke F who had a hard time going back down.
Ok I need to know if I am insane or not:
C is my work and personal friend. She is the one who just got promoted and now I am trying to fill her spot (I am her assistant in a sense currently). I don't know if it's just me but she seems to be cutting the friendship tie and I am having a really hard time with it. She is a great friend and though we only hang out outside of work on occasion, we still chatted frequently on the weekends, during work, spent lunch time together, etc. Perhaps because she is now a manager and could potentially be my boss? I just feel this tension between us, partially because I notice this change and feel my own bitterness creeping in. I think I've put her up on this pedestal for a while now and don't know how to take her off in my mind. If that makes sense...
I am unsure if I should bring it to her attention, ask point blank if she is unable to remain my personal friend or just brush it off. I have noticed it's causing my some anxiety at work because it just doesn't seem normal here to me. Anyone ever experienced this?
Everyone here with double babies makes it look so easy and adorable. This needs to stop.
malvo, glad your car will survive and you don't have to stress about a new one.
rvamama, I think it will take some extra effort to maintain your friendship if you have a boss/employee relationship, but as long as you both realize that this is WORK and not PERSONAL, you can definitely make it work. Maybe that is just freaking her out? She's worried it won't work? I wouldn't brush it off, but I'd definitely consider talking to her if it is likely to be your situation!
graciest719 did you post about your h rant or decide not to?
I never posted it lol. I mean, I still might but he redeemed himself a bit yesterday. It's just the constant tug of war between us and his family. And the fact that he does things for them that put us in a bind because "we can handle it" and he doesn't want to make anyone mad. Except me.

My H tends to do for others when he thinks he/we can take it on even when we actually can't. So I feel your pain! I am happy to have a hard working man, but sometimes I wished it was more to our family's benefit.
rvamama I think if that could potentially be your situation and you are already feeling tension, I would talk to her. I am just that type of person though. I need to just know and talk through it. I've had a couple of work friends or non work friends that when things seem "off" I had to ask about it. Usually we were able to work it out. Once I lost a friend over it, but I guess our friendship wasn't that important to her after all. And you don't need friendships like that! Gl whatever you decide to do.
One of the dogs was barking at cats and neighbors half the night, A was super restless in her sleep and I woke up every time she made her crying noises praying she wasn't puking and every time I woke up due to A or the dog I had to get comfortable and make sure nothing was touching my damn toe.

Does anyone use those Norwex cloths? I really want to cut back on the amount of chemicals I use to clean and these look like an option. I just want to know that they work before I pay all that money!

I have a few and like them. The kitch cloths soak up messes easily. I can't get over not using spray on my counters, though. I do use natural cleaners and have just used their cloths. I also think I probably haven't washed them properly and may have deactivated the silver. Regardless, I think they are nice and worth the investment.
I was kind of excited, after my sunburn this weekend my farmers tan evened out and my sunburn tanned. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. But I woke up this morning and my shoulders are peeling away to a ghostly bleached white while my lower arms stay a nice tan. HA HA HA. I guess its a good thing I never show my shoulders any way.
Not much going on here, we had a Mad Science show at the school today and it was a lot of fun. If I ever hire someone for Ps bday when hes older, ill definitely consider this company or a similar one!
I feel like I had something else to say but cant remember...
So, I probably pissed this local girl off but I don't think I care.
The girl who refused to come to my house and pick up her LLR shit? After that whole fiasco, she neglected to pay new invoices TWICE. So, I was like, GIRL, you gotta tell me what you're doing. Can't pay or you want to pass, it's fine.. just communicate with me. She's like, sorry, I had a death in the family. Can I get this skirt? (Which.. is not a decent excuse for 2 unpaid invoices over a month, but.. OK. I can't fight about that).
OK. Skirt is yours. Pay for it, though.
Then, she's trying to get me to fucking arrange a meeting again and I'm like, NO, this is not how this works, I do not arrange my life around your skirt. Pick up here or here. That's how I do it. And she says to me, "Well, if you can't meet or drop it off at my house sometime, I guess you can mail it."
Huh. Ok. So, I mailed it. Don't care. I guess I could have gone that extra mile with my customer service and dropped it off, but do not care. I'm not a skirt delivery service.
THAT'S MY DAY. I'm leaving now to go check out a new distillery with MH. BYE. :-)
