Very tired. Up way too late doing freelance work and then got up super early to take all three to daycare. The kids were tired too because they were fighting me hard.

C's diaper leaked in the car on the way to daycare. Pulled her out to take her inside and she was soaking wet. Thankfully the car seat is still dry but how frustrating! Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come...

That is the worst.

My BIL and future SIL put their engagement pictures up on FB. In them she's wearing a long white poofy dress. Like it took me several minutes to realize she wasn't wearing her wedding dress. And they're fighting each other. With light sabers.

I'm just over here like

I'm not a big NFL fan (more college football) but the Super Bowl was a great game! Holy comeback!
And Lady Gaga did better than I expected.

[lgsdesigner]

robotpcr - Haha! Ohhhh boy.

W only woke up once and I was able to get her back down! I slept the whole night in my bed!

Then H woke me up at 5 to tell me he was leaving for work. Cool story, bro. My alarm went off at 5:30, but I was already up.

Hi ladies!
I feel awful. This cold is really not going away. I am going to have to see a dr today at some point. MH is at work and I have the car but I really don't want to take G into the dr with me. He has a long break so I am hoping I can run into urgent care or something while he is on break.

Good morning! DD seems to be back to her normal sleeping self. Thank you for all the advice, ladies.

So yesterday was C's Baptism. I was nervous as all hell because I figured she would scream. My sister (her Godmother) was 20 minutes late, which ticked the priest off. Before Mass C started screaming bloody murder because she wanted to see Nana and Papa (they were sitting behind us). I let her sit back there so she stopped having a meltdown. The Priest walks by at the beginning of Mass and scolds us for not holding our own daughter. He then said we have to hold her through the entire Mass, because she is our child. Well, then she only wanted me to hold her. So I held her for most of Mass, and my back is now killing me again. It was not the day I hoped for but I'm happy we did it. This baby will be baptized sooner.

honda13 - I'm just going to say it: Your priest sounds like a grumpy old man.

[linny12]

honda13, I'm sorry that your priest was so ugly during an important day to you. That's not cool at all.

[linny12]

So the architect that came to our house should have preliminary drawings by the middle of next week. He asked such specific questions that I didn't know how to answer like "how many square feet do you want the bedrooms? What bathtub will you be installing? How big of a shower do you want?"

I was just like "ummmm... normal sized?"


He said we can tweak the drawings when we get them back, and seemed like our project was do-able. It's exciting, but makes me nervous too.

[honda13]

lgsdesigner, and linny12, thanks. I've never seen him like that and was quite upset. I sat there and actually thought about leaving, but decided to suck it up instead.

[obi]

honda13 that makes me mad for you.
I am not a church-goer myself but grew up with a Roman Catholic family. A Priest is there to guide, encourage, and to support. To make you feel that way on such a special day is just awful.
I would consider writing him and explaining how you felt and that you just want him to be aware so it doesn't happen to another family. I can understand not wanting to do that though. I would probably write the letter and never send it TBH. Just a thought.

Why would you NOT expect Gaga to be awesome?!? She is an amazing performer.

[honda13]

obi, writing it might help me get the feelings out so I can be done with it. I'll probably never mail it though. I just do not understand what the big deal is if she wanted my mom to hold her.

Working from home again today since DH has month end and won't be home from his weekend adventure until tonight. I seriously hope he had a good time and has relaxed a little. If he comes home and is all pissy I will lose my mind on him.

Chili is in the crock pot, laundry going. I also swept all of the floors this morning after I dropped off J. I'll shovel the driveway on my lunch and maybe do a little dusting too. I am tired of my house being in a constant state of clutter. DH needs to get rid of some shit. Lol

[obi]

I am still riding high from the Pats superbowl win.
Hopefully that carries me through the day because I am soo uncomfortable and in pain.

We finally bought a new sectional and it is being delivered tomorrow. I was worried we wouldn't be able to swing it before new baby arrives. The one we have is complete garbage and trying to recover on it would be awful. The springs are all uneven and it is really uncomfortable on a good day.

So, i will be trying to catch up on housework today so the delivery people dont judge me. Because that is rational and totally matters.

I hope it helps! I often find just writing out a letter to someone gives me that bit of release and helps me see the bigger picture. I usually end up not feeling a need to send it at all.

But, if you do think it needs to be read, dont be afraid to pass it on to him. He should be open to reading it and taking it to heart.

I have zero issue releasing things. It's him. He literally has shirts that he won't get rid of that in the 6 years we've been together he has never worn. And they don't fit him.

They may disappear one day soon.

N is breaking my heart. She has a stomach bug and won't really eat much of anything. She threw up throughout the night on Saturday and was ok yesterday... she had good energy and was playing and drinking but not really eating. She threw up once this morning and is just a little bump on a log. She won't do anything except snuggle and watch tv. I got some Cheerios into her for breakfast and now she's munching on a few animal crackers for lunch. I wish I could take this sickness away from her 😢

[marygracerich]

I'm sorry amylee545 sick little ones are so sad.

[marygracerich]

I caved and went to the dr. I never go to the dr because my body is pretty good at fighting stuff off on its own but with me leaving for vacation on Sunday i don't want to take any chances.
The dr said it's just a virus. Sleep and fluids and it should be gone in a few days. She did send in a z pack prescription to my pharmacy though. She said that it's there just in case my condition gets worse and something bacterial does end up making me sicker. I don't care as long as I am better by Sunday.

I will. Thanks for the tip. 😊

Bah. I really do not feel like working.

I feel the same. I took an hour and a half lunch. Unfortunately, my work still needs to get done even if I'm feeling lazy.

[obi]

"Catching up on housework" apparently means unloading and loading the dishwasher, and stuffing diapers.

I dont think I will be finding some random energy reserve any time soon. Blah.

[cosmicav]

bwisco123 we just had our 100th day! I used it as an excuse when people commented on my size and slowness. Time is a cruel mistress lol.
