Thursday Happenings

How is everyone doing today?

[littlelion]

I'm awake. Kinda. Watching GMA. Need coffee. Baby is back asleep. Luckily no fever. Leo is at the window saying "let's go". But no plans to leave the house today.

I have the babies in the swings #lazyparent

I spent my morning cleaning so that the cleaning lady can come this afternoon. Such a first world problem. Haha

I don't think there's any such thing as a lazy parent!!!!

Thanks! I sometimes feel so guilty because they are in baby holding devices a lot.

requiressnacks if that makes you a lazy parent then Idk what you'd call me 😬N is in the swing while I pump a bottle for date night tonight and he's crying so I asked the two year old to comfort him since I'm all hooked up 😜

Date night!!!! Where you going? What you doing?

[mrswillie]

I'm tired. I've got pot roast in the crockpot for dinner. Why won't baby sleep for a couple hours without me holding him?

[mrswillie]

crimpgirl a trip to the outlets sounds fun. I want new clothes.

I totally do that. My cleaning people come ever other Monday and I'm always cleaning and straightening up on Sunday.

I dropped off my first BM donation today and the mom was so thankful. It felt really good to give it to someone who really needed it.

Met a friend to walk the mall. I always feel like I'm an old lady being a mall walker. Lol

So I hate venting so much, but they didn't pay me my full paycheck AGAIN. This is the third time during my leave that I've had to fight this battle. The first time was because they had me living and working in California, which I don't. The second time it was because they didn't process my leave claim, and now it's because they didn't process my return to work. I emailed a complaint to my manager and my leave specialist's manager. They are working on it now and I should be paid by next Friday. I called my in laws and they are sending $1000 to float for us. And now I'm going to be dipping into our daycare fund, but I don't have to pay for that until the 5th to keep the discount.

I'm back at work with nothing to do so I get to deal with all that on the company hour. :-)

My husband said "go find another job", but No, I like this job, they just need to get their stuff together. It's a payroll company and they offer benefit services, they have got to get it straight at some point right?

My friend is here Nannying for Jane and it's going really well. I went ahead and told my boss the plan so I didn't have to hide that Jane is home with me and she was awesome about it. She's totally ok with me working from home with Jane and my friend until I take her to daycare on the first. I think it will be easier to take her to daycare as well after this week of being home with her... Although I will probably leave early and go pick her up whenever I can. :-)

UO? Veggies don't belong on a pizza. Makes it soggy. Blah.

[littlelion]

Alex sneezed out the biggest booger. I knew he had old boogies still up there that I could not get out. I'd hear it rattle around at times. It was dried up and as big as a pencil eraser. His poor little nostrils.

[mrsp121308]

If I make it through our summer vacation without smothering my mom and my husband it will be a miracle. I'm trying to plan out our Disney trip and neither will give me any suggestions for stuff, but I know if they don't like what I plan they'll complain the whole time. 😡

[mrsp121308]

Remember ladies:

[lola]

mrsp121308 Love that. I had a frustrating afternoon, and I was really struggling with losing my temper. I'm getting better at learning when to walk away.

[requiressnacks]

HI ladies, busy day over here and I'm finally sitting down with a quiet house and a glass of wine. 🍷😊

I went to Once Upon A Child today to check out their $1 clearance. I got so many things! And they were all only a buck each!!! Poor Gabriel didn't have as many clothes as Gianna so now he's got plenty.

And I gave all my preemie clothes to a fellow twin mom who needs them. Yes!!

Omg.. rattle?! Hork!!!

FFTC...,I love sucking out the baby snots with my Nose Frieda. It's gross, but so effective.

Don't you just go to the parks each day? I don't know much about Disney.

I think we are taking a cruise in September with the babies. Should be interesting!

[mrsp121308]

requiressnacks, you have to plan meals ahead, then which park or parks you want to. And really to get the most out of your time, you should have a schedule each day too.

We've done cruises with the kids and we really like it. Let me know if you have any questions!

[littlelion]

Alex is awake from a 3 hr nap. I fed him and he does not look sleepy at all. I wonder if it's pointless going to bed now.

Oh, & he finally accepted the paci! That's helped a couple times today prolonging feeding.

That makes sense. I guess if you are doing all the planning then you can make all the decisions! Hopefully they don't give you too much grief.
