I took a sick day from work yesterday, and fibbed to my boss saying I had to stay home with a sick kiddo. I'm always embarrassed to admit when I get sick. It feels like admitting weakness.
Anyway I'm feeling a little better but not much. Hoping it can be cured with some tea and a big glass of OJ.

I've been working until 11:30 and I'm so tired. H really doesn't get it and let's the boys wake me up or gives in and gets me when they call for me at 6:30. Or goes to the gym at 6 so I'm stuck getting up at 6:15 with them. I don't fall asleep immediately, so it's after midnight when I get in bed and wind down to sleep, meaning I get maybe 6 hours of sleep. He thinks I should be in bed and asleep the second I get home, not possible when the dogs want out and I'm out in the freezing cold. He turns it to say I need to exercise and I'll have more energy, no dude, I need a full night of sleep and then maybe I'll have more energy in the morning. Tomorrow I have to short change and be back to work for 7am so I'll get absolutely no time to relax. Yes I need to stop working so much, but I need sleep too even if he thinks I don't.
This week has been a shitshow. I normally try to "be the duck," (smooth on the surface but paddling like hell under the water) but that is not working out this week. My patience is shot.
I rolled my eyes and blew off the yearbook salesman yesterday because he came at a bad time and I can't be openly rude to anyone else. Sorry, buddy.

H and I went to bed early because we were beat. Sadly I woke up about 6 times for various reasons, and it took forever to get back to sleep one of those times. And then F woke up at 4 because... I have no idea? I gave him Motrin, but he still didn't fall asleep until 6-ish, so I doubt it was teeth. I decided to just get out of bed when I took him Motrin at 4:30. I am a zombie. Praying I don't go into labor until maybe I can take a nap. Or get a good night's sleep. Ugh.
I was saying how I've been feeling down and I'm still bummed out that there are no therapists/psychologists in my area who accept my insurance. He said, "Well, until you figure it out you can just talk to me!" Um, "No. I need to be able to complain about you."
Dylan is sick again - she has a ped appointment this morning so hopefully they can give her something. And she gave it to me and DH again. I feel like I've been sick every other week for 3 months now. I'm hoping DH can get in to the doctor and maybe have them give me an antibiotic too. I haven't gotten any medicine thus far but I think I really need something to knock this out of my system.
Yesterday was Dylan's first full day at an in home day care. My good friends use this lady to watch their two kids and she also has a baby. We are going to be taking her twice a week so DH can get some work done at home with his new business. She seems to have liked it so I hope this ends up working out long term!

RE appointment this morning which means I get to miss out on my craziest classes today. I'll be back in time for my algebra classes, which I absolutely love!
On the way out the door, DS1 stopped and pointed out every single snail he could see. He loves snails and usually moves them to be together, but I told him they would all be together soon. Silly kid.

Hi, my name is monkey_dilla and I am overwhelmed with life.
Working full time, staying home with Hadley 2 days a week, starting a new business, DH is interviewing for new jobs, newly pregnant, and putting our house on the market. All at the same time. I kinda wish I was still on my antidepressants, because I feel myself slipping back into depression. I feel like something has to give, but I don't know what.
Anyway, thanks for listening. Just feeling overwhelmed this Wednesday morning.
monkeydilla that is A LOT to deal with. Is there a therapist you can maybe talk to just to help get you through? They could maybe help give you some coping mechanisms to get through all the craziness.
monkeydilla, Yikes! You have a lot on your plate!! Is there any way to kind of separate life into "problems" so to speak? As in, dealing with one problem at a time? It's early and Im not allowed to have as much coffee as I'd like so bear with me. What is your new business? Does it need to be started up right away? Can it wait until things slow down (lolz)?
You can only handle one thing at a time, so try to look at everything as a whole and than divide and conquer if possible!

A therapist would probably be good, it would just be finding time to go. It's a good suggestion though, and I should look more into it.

Unfortunately all these things kind of snowballed rapidly. There's no real way to put my business on hold.. it's up and running at this point. Initially I wanted this side business to become my full-time job, and I could SAH with H, but I've come to realize that I'm not quite ready to leave my job. Being pregnant kinda just happened, and now we're gonna need a bigger house because there's no way we can fit another human being in our current house. In order to help financially with a larger house, DH is looking for a better job. Ugh. I'm at the point where I know something has to give, or be delayed, but I have no idea what.
I appreciate your advice.. I think DH and I really need to have a conversation about our priorities right now.
monkeydilla I'm sorry things are so rough right now. I don't have any experience with it personally, but I think there are some antidepressants that are OK to take during pregnancy. If things continue to be overwhelming, maybe have a chat with your OB about it?
Probably a good idea. If things are still this chaotic at my next appointment I will bring it up.
See Kai Run released their spring/summer sandals (Camila, Italia and Fe) and I'm dyingggggggggggg at the cuteness. They're my favorite kids shoe brand ever and worth every penny. Although, I buy most when they go on deep clearance. I also need a pair or two of vans or the like for myself for spring. Mama needs to sell some houses to subsidize the spring shoe addiction! Luckily, being KU helps me save some money. I want to buy clothes, but know I wont fit into them in the next few months, so what's the point?
There must be something in the air because my husband and I got into about parenting last night too. We got everything resolved ish, meaning we have to see the action to our words/plan. No plans today. DS has a cold. The weather is warm but gloomy right now. Will probably do some housework and let the kids play in the yard later. Lots of hugs and coffee to J15 today, we'll make it through!
Hailey fell down a couple of stairs today and hit her head. Then she tripped and hit her head again in the same spot and has this huge welt on her forehead between her eyes. Poor kid.
I have a cold and am miserable since I can't take anything that works. I also hurt my ankle somehow so I am limping around today. Such a hot mess!
Now I'm hiding in my car waiting to pick up Peyton from school to go to her field trip to the vet. Luckily my H took Hailey so I don't have to worry about chasing her around too!
It was too quiet for an awake toddler in the house.
He figured out how to open the doors (just a regular turn doornob). Got his nook and blanket from his crib, went to the spare room (aka the crap collector) and was digging through a box of stuff from the gutted bathroom (mostly Bobby pins, headbands, etc...thankfully.)
I have been SO consumed in the last 24 hours with planning our vacation for this year. My family (including my mom and my brother and SIL) always go down to the Outer Banks and stay on Hatteras Island in the tri-villages. We usually go around labor day because the rates drop dramatically and you get more bang for your buck, plus the weather is still nice. This year though, I am trying to save as much PTO time as humanly possible so we are trying to plan a vacation while the daycare lady who watches Nick is on vacation. I found a house on homeaway that is available the week she is away, which is over the 4th of July week. It's super affordable, not a tin can, close to the beach, and got great reviews from several people who have stayed there prior. I messaged the owner and I am hoping to hear back from her soon because I think this place is our best bet. It's further North than we usually stay but I have stayed in the town before and am very familiar with the area.
Anyway, I am super excited and I feel like I can already smell the sunscreen and the salty ocean air.
I'm back!!!! Disneyland was sooo fun. But also, exhausting. I'm still sore. And it was so busy, I didn't get to see any of the CA ladies:( But the kids just loved it and I almost cried from seeing them so happy!
