F was up for part of the night coughing. He threw up once and we had to change him while he was half asleep, poor thing. I hate coughs. Times like this, when F is sick, and H is about to leave for work for a few days, I'm thinking "How am I going to take care of two tiny humans by myself!?" People do this all the time, so it's no big deal, right!?
And I have to take my indoor outdoor cat to the vet this afternoon. She came in this morning and is begging to go outside, but I can't let her out because I never know when she's going to come back in. She should be a joy for the next 7 hours.
I hope you and DS have a good day sharebear05. It is a big adjustment for both of you.
V woke up at 5:15. I tried to get her to back to bed but to no avail. So I made the kids homemade waffles, packed Ds's lunch, emptied the dishwasher, and got ready for my appointment. Now I get to sit and enjoy my morning coffee.

queenofcats this is about the time we decided to go for #2. Mac was the most miserable high needs baby ever, his first year was pretty much the worst year ever for me. He started getting easier around 18m and now he's an absolute dream kid, I have no idea how that happened but it's amazing. I was absolutely convinced we would be done with him, but decided we should just go for it. If we were already up all night with him we may as well add a second because it couldn't get worse and there was enough crying in the day. Some days now I wonder what were we thinking, but it's been great and we somehow ended up with a dream baby (who is turning into a terror of a toddler).
wineandcake, I'm just afraid I won't have the patience for a clingy and intense toddler on top of a newborn. If I could have a guarantee we'd have an easy newborn I'd feel a lot better.
Don't get me wrong, E is sweet and funny, but she's just intense and by the end of the day I'm dead on my feet.

I slept in until 6:30 this morning and it felt lovely. I am usually up by 5:30, so that extra hour was a nice treat. The girl who is our "office barista" was out all last week and yesterday and I am SO glad she is back today. Coffee just hasn't tasted the same and last week I felt all:
So after @traceyos brought up preschool last week, I actually convinced my H to be on board with sending Em either next year (at 2) or the following year (at 3). There are two schools near us that I am considering and one I really am more interested in. The one I'm more interested in is having an Open House on Friday. I RSVP'd via email and this is part of the response I got.
"We have an excellent and well rounded Montessori program for children in the age group of 2.5 yrs to 6 yrs old. Please let me us know the prospect child is in that agre group?"
Will someone please tell me that I should not let these typos get to me? It just seems to me you're a school (albeit preschool) and this is your first impression, wouldn't you want to make it a really good one and put more than 20 seconds into a mistyped email??
I am not going to lie, but that makes me cringe. Lol.

queenofcats - Not going to lie, DS1 was a nightmare high needs/very intense infant but as grew through toddlerhood it began to get easier. He still has a very intense personality, but he is by far my most sensitive and intelligent child. He is a leader and it is very exciting to watch him learn. He was 2.5 when DS2 was born, and DS2 was such an easy baby compared to DS1. Thankfully Noah is even more mellow that DS2, so for me they got progressively easier.
cornpop311, yeah, those spelling mistakes would bother me too...Probably not enough to not consider the preschool, but enough to side eye them.
School is canceled in our district today and tomorrow because so many kids and teachers have the flu. My poor H- he now has all 3 girls and I won't be home until 10 or later tonight. Sorry H!
queenofcats, my kids seem to operate in 6 month blocks of terror No reason to make any forever decisions about OAD or more just yet though!
I am really upset that rain is in the forecast for Disneyland. I know that that makes for less crowds, but the kids have such cute outfits that I don't want to cover with a poncho (yes, allllll vanity) and I think it'd be easier to keep them in the park all day if it was dry. I'm fine with clouds. But please don't rain!
I think I may attempt a story time that we used to go to that just re-started again after getting a new librarian. Plus there is a donut shop next door! The choice is obvious.
JR now says, "thank you, mommy," after I change her diaper and "love you, mommy," before I close the car door after buckling her in, so basically I'm dead.
queenofcats I can relate. Our two E's sound like they were/are similar - high needs and intense. But sometimes I still feel twinges of pregnancy jealousy. The one thing that stops me (well, aside from the fact that she's still a shitty sleeper) is that having two in full-time daycare would cost $3800 a month! So if we DO have another one it won't be until E starts kindergarten.

If anything we won't ttc again until she's 3, potty trained (hopefully) and a little more independent. We go through phases of "we can do this again!" And those end quickly. She's always been like this though. I know she has the ability to be a leader someday which is amazing and I don't want to train that out of her. I think she'd thrive with a sibling so maybe when she's older it will make more sense.

amch8 The "thank you mama"'s are what kill me the most over "I love you"'s. It's like the smallest little things I do, she thanks me and melts my heart. Maybe politeness just gets to me. This age is soooo cute!!!

Yeah... I'm already being a SAHM unless I can find a good paying job when we move so if we have a second it will be more likely I'd have to keep staying home longer.
Silly E names. Every E named girl I've met seems to be the same. My fault for naming her after 2 queens, right?

The entire second sentence (not question) is just wrong. It bothers me so much, but I'd still go to the Open House for a second impression.
John Legend's singing voice has a way of cutting right through me directly to my feels. I am listening to his and Ariana Grande's version of "Beauty and the Beast" and I am pretty sure someone near me is cutting onions or something?

I found a few jobs I plan to apply for and I'm so nervous. There is one that is seriously perfect for me. I have literally every qualification they ask for, experience with all the duties, it branches off from what I'm doing now, plus it's within a reasonable distance of my parents so while we're living there it's possible to commute. Plus, I'm a pretty great employer so who wouldn't want to hire me?? I'm just way too nervous to apply, I don't want to screw up my cover letter somehow and them not even consider me. Ugh, why is being an adult searching for a job so hard? But also so exciting because I really want this and it's the perfect job for me.
I'm not doing well today. I'm not sure what is wrong with me. I thought last night I was reacting poorly to dairy, but I may have the bug Hailey had a while ago. I woke up this morning with a terrible migraine and have been in bed since. No puking thanks to zofran. I'm still in bed and am missing my clinical hours today (only the second week). I really wish I could take excedrin migraine.
It's a rainy, dreary one today. Nothing exciting going on. My husband is at a Dr appointment for his arm. Then this afternoon DD has a Dr appointment for what I think might be an infected toe. Had a great date night last night with another couple. We went out to eat and then to the movies. It was the first time someone else put my kids to bed! Usually when my husband and I go out we do it before bed time.

Disneyland in the rain has always been my favorite! Less crowds, everyone in Mickey ponchos...it's just fun. It's my favorite when it rains.
