Friday Jr!

[bethypoo83]

AKA Thursday.

What you got laydays?

[robotpcr]

I will happily go the rest of my life without another stomach bug. I still feel gross. That's possible with a kid, right?

[bethypoo83]

It's totally possible robotpcr, because I'm going to do it too.

[marygracerich]

Good morning ladies!
I may attempt to take Genevieve to the library time. She is technically too old for baby time but they aren't strict about age. My only problem is keeping her awake on the drive home.

[bethypoo83]

I am so behind on a project I have to do for work. Between two days off sick last week for J and myself and my actual day to day work I just can't seem to get ahead of this one. Looks like I'll be working tonight and seriously buckling down tomorrow to finish it. I hate feeling like this.

On the bright side, my boss totally understands since I have the most client groups of anyone on my team and they also have experienced the most turmoil this year. Keeping people engaged and happy at work has been way more important than updating and reformatting policies so I know I've had my priorities straight.

Hoping for a productive day today!

High of 16 (61 F) here today. Unseasonably crazy warm for February.

The woman across from me on the train was wearing a parka with a leather jacket and wool sweater underneath. She has just peeled off all her layers and is sitting there huffing and puffing from being so hot. Lady, do you not have access to radio, television, the internet? Your front door?

I get it. Winter in Canada. You plan for all possibilities. But wow. Overdressed much?! Lol

[linny12]

H: "Hopefully when she gets in school we won't get sick as often."

Me: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. HA. That's not how it works."

[marygracerich]

Usually G wanders up to her room by about 8:15ish am every morning. I follow her up to her room and we play up there. It's 9:38 and we are still downstairs. It's very strange.

[lgsdesigner]

Hi ladies! We are having a potluck today at work and the smell of food is making me eager. Is it 11:30, yet?!

[lgsdesigner]

We took Eli to Chipotle last night, his favorite food, and when we pulled up he goes "Yay! Yay! Nummy!"

[robotpcr]

Why am I waiting on someone who can't put their samples in the right spot and who apparently hasn't even gotten in for the day? This is ridiculous. Do you job so I can do mine please.

[hotcoconuts82]

Ds has started calling me mummy instead of mama. It sounds way too grown up. I thought my 6 year old was calling me this morning but it was ds.

[cosmicav]

DS is spending his morning watching nursery rhyme videos on YouTube. I'm afraid that i am pretty useless these days. :/

It's my first day of maternity leave though any day now kid!!

Is it actually mummy and not mommy?

[robotpcr]

I miss mama! I've been mommy since the fall.

[corrys12]

I"m Mama but in Spanish. Ir just Ma.

Also....I am having pregnancy envy.

At an audit today and my contact is pregnant....she got pregnant the first month they tried. "Happy" for her....meaning I am happy but I have a why not me attitude.

Fyi....we are not trying but also not preventing.....but that isnt saying much since I struggle to get pregnant. Took us 2+ years to conceive S.

Also, 2 weeks ago I peed on a stick...actually 2 sticks....because I was 10 days late. Kind of abnormal for me. Two big FAT negatives.

Now wouldn't be the ideal time to get pregnant, which is why we haven't done anything to be proactive in trying to convieve ...but for a woman who struggles to get pregnant the thought of POSSIBLY being pregnant even in the worst of circumstances, seems exciting.

My period showed up 2 days after I peed on sticks....a total of 12 days late.

Before I wasn't even THINKING of getting pregnant....but now that I had that moment of doubt and confirmed I was NOT pregnant...it has been eating at me. And hearing that people get pregnant so fuckin easily has taken me to a sad place.

Aw.  I'm sorry.  I really really wish it could just be an instant everyone is pregnant when they want to be thing.  It is so unfair.

Thanks. I think I just needed to get it off my chest since I never told anyone about peeing on a stick. Not even my husband. Because that would have gotten him excited and he would start pushing to try again...and it truly is not the right time.

I really hate that I'm in this negative place again.

[marygracerich]

We went to the library. It wasn't a total disaster but I had to pull out every trick I know to keep her awake on the drive home. She is now eating lunch but isn't happy about it. She is so tired but she is getting through it.

I get it, at least some of it.  The negative place thing I mean.  It took 9 months TTC with M (which is nothing compared to 2+ obvs, defintely not trying to compare those) but it was such a dark place for me with not ovulating and etc etc. And people getting pregnant all around me.  Anyways, it sucks so bad.  I want to send all the hugs your way.  Vent away anytime.

[robotpcr]

So I just got a text from my sitter that apparently this morning there was a pregnant mom at the park. M told her that the mom had an "orgy" in her belly. Orgy is her word for orange. I am dying.

Ok, that's adorable

[bethypoo83]

I am still generally "Mama" but there have been some "Mommy" and even one "Mom!" moments. The latter did not go over well and was quickly kiboshed.

DCPs youngest son constantly goes around saying "Mom....Mom....Mom...."Mommmmmm!" and is always interrupting rudely. I was not a fan from the first time I heard it so we've been on top of correcting J if he tries that business. Obviously it won't always stop him from doing that but we're trying!

C had a great day at daycare.

We turn to leave our sitters house and she throws up allllll over me. Twice.

Guess my day of solo fun tomorrow is cancelled.

Oh no! Poor C. And poor you!

I hope she feels better quickly.

[linny12]

W and I had such a nice day in the warm weather. We went to a park and there was a 2 year old boy there too. They were playing fine until he pushed W off the play equipment. It wasn't a big fall but W was stunned.

His dad told him that it wasn't nice and had him hug W, and I just gave her a hug and told her she was OK, but I didn't really know what to say.

Like kids shove and push and it's not nice, but she was OK, so was I downplaying her feelings? Probably overthinking this, haha

[linny12]

W let me do her hair in a pony today! She looks so grown up and so stinking cute. Gah!

She's definitely challenging, but I prefer this age so much over the baby stage. I like that she can tell me if she likes her hair, or what she wants to play. We have such fun.

Oh no! That sucks. I hope she's feeling better soon. I'm a really sorry about your free day too.

[smilesp]

linny12 Situations like that are always awkward. If DS falls but seems ok I never want to make a big deal of it in case it upsets him.

This reminds me of an issue I'm having right now when we're at the library or open gym and another kid takes something from DS or pushes or hits him and the parent isn't watching so he/she doesn't do anything. This is really awkward for me. I don't want to reprimand someone else's kid buuuut I also don't want them being a shithead to my kid.
