Good morning ladies! I have been up since 2ish. G was having her nightly party and I couldn't go back to sleep afterwards. Of course now she is still sleeping despite the fact that I am not being quiet. I have already made myself breakfast and coffee. Right now it's just me and my bowl of oatmeal.
M is definitely sick. And it's pouring rain here but we still need to grocery shop if we want to eat tonight. We gave her her final Hanukkah gift from us yesterday since she wasn't feeling well. It's a walk along wooden dog. She's obsessed. She walked him all over Target yesterday.

Ds is in full toddler tantrum mode this morning. I need to get to the grocery store and he is refusing to get dressed. He has a diaper and one slipper on. If it wasn't January I might take him like that.

This weekend was spent cleaning up RED vomit (thanks Jell-O) off the carpet, bathroom floors, toilet and dealing with very whiney cabin-fevered children.

DH and I had a very long discussion last night about TTC baby #4. His dad asked if we were going to have any more children (since Eli is DH's only biological child), but after the following factors we definitely agreed it's a no: - I'm 37. - Pregnancy is hard on me. - Eli is crazy. - Daycare is expensive. - We are both tired as hell.
DD slept like shit last night. Every little thing woke her up and that never happens. So we all slept like poop last night. We spent yesterday cleaning out our spare bedroom to get started on her big girl room. It's almost empty, but the closet needs tackling. Then we are taking off the wallpaper and painting the walls.
Had to go into work for a meeting, but I'm home sick now. This cold will not give up. W now sounds like her throat hurts and she keeps grabbing her ear and saying "Ow." I hope it's just pressure, she doesn't have a fever so I don't think it's an infection. My ears are killing me too.
H is still sick too. I told him to stay home today but auditors are in so he has to be there all day answering questions. Poor guy.

I'm off today since DC is closed. I brought J into work to have lunch with my team as they haven't seen him since before I came back from leave. He's snoring away in the car seat so I'm letting him enjoy his snooze. DNW grumpy baby for lunch. Lol
I'm exhausted. I seem to have come down with yet another cold after barely a week of being healthy since my last cold. N is still sick and miserable. I worked 3-11 latest night and am doing so again tonight. N has been in tantrum hell since she's not feeling well, and she's been so aggressive towards me too. I just want a day off of everyone and everything 😩
I just deep cleaned my washroom for the first time in an embarassingly long time. I have been doing the bare minimum to keep up so I am happy I finally tackled it.
Too bad that my lower back is totally tweaked now and I am having BH contractions. Guess I'll just lay here with my heat pad instead of moving onto laundry... How unfortunate...
Oh, bethypoo83, I found out that I do know someone who worked for that company up here you interviewed with.
Obviously it isn't useful info now but she said it was awful. She was brought in to help start up a new dept. and after 6m they scrapped the whole thing because nobody could agree on anything. She also said that it is kind of a mom & pop getup and a lot of the staff are family. If you get on any of their bad sides you are basically screwed.
So, its a good thing you didnt wind up there! The interviewer really saved you some hassle by being so candid about the corporate environment there.

SIL is watching dd today. She's only watched her a few times, but she offered to help with the cleaning of C's big girl room. I'm excited/nervous to go home. I feel a little bad for putting her to work, but she offered so.....

I'm having a rage day. Boss is giving us tons of rush jobs, It appears I have a yeast infection, I have to take an alternative route to get home since the highway is shut down which will take almost an hour, And Trump just decided to move forward with the Dakota Pipeline.
bethypoo83 I think $150 is not cheap but reasonable for a nice dress if you'll get some good use out of it. I would pay that for something I absolutely loved.
