1) I had off yesterday with both kids and we did the zoo, a doctor appt, and I picked up frozen meals. I texted H "you better be home on time or I might die." 👍🏻 2) I really love spending time with each kid. It's the together thing alone that feels like a level 11. 3) It makes me think maybe they would enjoy being raised by someone who is not me.
1. My parents are watching DS2 until he starts daycare. They went home this weekend and got stuck yesterday because my dad had a kidney stone attack. So now I'm taking the morning off while I wait for them to get up here.
2. I'm slightly happy I can relax this morning. US maternity leave sucks, I'm exhausted being back at work with the baby still not sleeping.
3. It's going to be in the 60's later this week, I can't wait. I'm done with winter. I like having four season, but I wish winter was only like 2 months.

I have high hopes that managing 2 by myself gets better with 2 toddlers, though certainly that will have its own challenges. I just find them having very different needs to mean most days I'm covering the essentials for each, and not much more.
emmagk, I have my fingers crossed you get a buyer real soon!
1. I am enjoying the warm weather but I still would like one big snow storm before winter totally calls it quits.
2. We had a heart hunt hole yesterday and when we got home, DD1 kept hiding hers and making me look for them. It's really easy to find things when she hides them all in the exact same spot.
3. DD2 cut another tooth yesterday, and us finally sleeping better. Fingers crossed it continues.

1.) DD is sick today congested with a light fever. 2.) I'm beyond excited that the Dory movie is on Netflix. I was about to pay to rent it for her when I checked. 3.) This is the weirdest winter ever

Every time I whine about it I think about people who do it every day. It will get easier at some point but 2.5 and 4 months is hard. They can't play together and they're both needy. And the big spent the littles doctor appointment doing snow angels on the floor and saying "mommy" over and over. I took him to get ice cream after and he learned what fun a salt shaker can be.🙈 I'm embarrassed to be the person I used to side eye.
1. Today is DS's first day back at DC in almost 2 weeks not counting a few hours last week. FX I don't get a phone call. 2. Being home alone today is nice. DH even took DS to DC so I didn't have to get up. 3. I ended up sleeping on the couch last night. Apparently I was keeping up DH with my coughing even though I didn't think I was that bad. Shouldn't I, as the sick one, get the bed?
1. I'm so tired. Ever since we took the side off the crib DD has been up at least once during the night. I'm hoping that this evens back out soon. 2. I bought a bed rail and it takes up the whole side of the crib and makes it a crib again since there's no place for her to get out. Need to find a different solution and return it. 3. DDs been in underwear for 3 days now and no accidents. I'm hoping she continues to do good at school this week. 4. Need to find for coffee
1. I need to pack for our trip later this week. I have the kids packed but not me completely and trying on summer clothes was kind of depressing. 2. Can't wait until my massage on Friday. 3. I'm really struggling with the oldest. 13 is a tough age and especially hard when she throws it in my face that I'm not her Mom. She gets upset when I yell at her and not DD1. But in most cases I'm trying to scold DD1 but SD jumps in first before I can. And it doesn't help she's just like her Dad and doesn't know when to shut up.
I think watching 2 kids does get easier. At 4 and 2.75 they are way easier. Now instead of being needy they play together and just have to worry about fights or attitude. At that age they are very demanding and it can really be draining if you are on duty yourself.
1. I have a cold and am being a baby about it. Well actually I think it might be tonsillitis because my tonsils are really swollen.
2. DS is at preschool & I should be working but so far I've just sat on the couch since I got home. Need to run up to the restaurant to get some paperwork but it's raining and I'm sick. 😞
3. We are probably buying a new car this week, so that's exciting! My dad suggested we sell out old car to my brother and crazy SIL since SIL just totaled hers... probably not a good idea.
1. My accomplishments so far today are everyone is clean and fed and ds has had one short nap.
2. Mil said something about hope you can get outside today. Nice of her to think of me, but there's still a ton of snow on the ground so we're very limited on outdoor play, plus ds hates being bundled up, and playing with dd is a real challenge with and unhappy little person strapped to my chest.
3. I need to get out more during the week, but I truly have no idea what to do most days, and schedules are a challenge.
4. Ds cut tooth #3 last week and #4 is cutting now, so he's a real treat.

1. Ds1 has some sort of rash - is it excema? Ringworm? Or some odd viral thing that someone on parenting mentioned? 2.ds2 is so snotty he can't sleep through the night without help cleaning his little nose. 3. I am working 12 hours today. H did drop off and will do pick up - as long as I'm not called to pick either up. I'm enjoying h doing the work today - even though I helped this morning and tried to prep dinner. 4. Ran into someone interviewing today who I worked with in Cleveland. I gave him a hug because I couldn't remember his name - awkward....
1. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst throat pain I've ever had. I thought for sure it was strep. I also had a headache so I took ibuprofen and fell back asleep. When I woke up the pain was gone.
2. The baby had been chatting up a storm lately. His babbling is so cute. Also DS1 is never quiet either. Talking constantly in his cute little toddler voice.
3. I need a vacation. Where are you going bliz1712 ?
1. I have gone to bed so early lately and drink my sleepy time tea and have slept pretty well, but still wake up insanely tired. I don't know what is going on even with getting out in the sun for hours on my days off.
2. I love this winter and wish it would always be like this. I don't have the time to be shoveling on my own. Tomorrow is supposed to be 17° and that is awesome!
3. Maybe I am feeling a bit depressed. I do always go through a down time before my birthday. This year feels worse since I am still alone and Peyton is getting older. I thought it would be easier to find someone once she wasn't a baby. I am deluded.
1. My Grandpa is in hospice and only expected to survive another day or so. We went to say goodbye on Sunday and now I'm just waiting for the call. It's sad and difficult, especially with the kids. 2. We ordered a new couch yesterday. It's really big and I hope it works well for entertaining. I hope it gets delivered before the boy's birthday party in April. 3. DH got a big promotion and raise. He loves his new job and it's nice to see him happy.
1. Getting a haircut and highlights tonight. 2. Two days until I am induced again. I will be taking home a baby this time. 3. DDs schedule is so off she's already losing it and baby hasn't arrived yet.
footloose I'm sorry things aren't what you want then to be. Hang in there, when is your birthday?
Thanks.
My birthday is April 9th. I will be 44 years old. I am vain and hate getting older and this is the last birthday before I am 45 and then just feels like a jump to 50 😣
