Not sure what I want to do today. H is at work till about 6 pm. I was thinking about going by to a funeral for one of my friends uncles. But I don't really feel like leaving the house.

I caught whatever dd had this week. I feel very bronchitis like. I'm in bed. DH has been alone with the kids for an hour and he already sounds overwhelmed. Man up dh! I did the whole week by myself when he was out of town.

Good morning! We have been busy today. We got up and went to IHOP for breakfast. Now we are at the mall. We bought G two pairs of sneakers. She is playing in the play place now. After this it's sneakers for me and MH and lunch.
We've already been to gymnastics class this morning and now home again. I really judge some of the parents there for the stuff they seem fine with their kids doing.
There's a "toddler dance party" nearby this afternoon hosted by a local parent's group as a fundraiser for an immigrant organization. It sounds really cool but apparently the indoor space is small and so they're having a bunch of stuff outside. DNW to hang out outside in below 40 degree weather. I think we might go to Target instead.
There's a meal sign up list going around for a woman in my moms group through my church... she has twin toddlers around N's age (I think they were born July 17), and she has a newborn baby boy. The newborn was just in the ICU for having some sort of respiratory issue, but they're home now and he's doing better. I just found out through this meal train that the woman is single and currently living in a shelter in a nearby city. I had no idea of this when I met her a couple weeks ago and I have no idea the circumstances of how it all turned out this way... regardless, I feel compelled to do something for her. I feel like making her 1 meal isn't enough!
Just leaving the doctors office and my car won't start. DH can't come save me because J is napping so I'm waiting for CAA to come. It's gonna be at least an hour. Great way to spend your afternoon.

We have been out all day. We went at 7:30 this morning for breakfast and we still aren't home. We spent all of the monies and bought a lot of stuff we needed. We met up with friends at the mall and had lunch with them. It's been a good day.
Hi. We had a busy day yesterday (Saturday). We test drove a new car that we have decided we're buying some time this year, went to an open day at the daycare near home, went for a drive for a few hours (and couldn't even do what dh wanted to but at least ds slept), then went to a couple places looking for a new night light. We ended all that with dinner out where ds are more of his dinner on the way home than he did while we were sitting at the table.

I jinxed myself. We sat in more than an hours worth of traffic. There are three bridges to get from NJ to my borough. Two of them were closed. One for construction and one for an overturned tractor trailer. That means all traffic here was diverted to one bridge. We didn't go more than 10mph for at least a half hour. It was awful.
DH is making stew for dinner. And he'll do the dishes. This probably sounds great except he's dripping stuff down the cabinets, dropping crap all over the floor, and already broke the brand new can opener. And then got all mad when I said "really?!" to him breaking the can opener. It's more work to have him cook than it is to do it myself.
Parenting lately has been...hard. So much defiance. So many tantrums. So much crying and whining. All at a drop of the hat. I'm coming a bit unraveled TBH. I'm terrified of this being a perma-phase through the toddler years. But I hope once her language improves, so will some of these issues. FX.
Though I think nature purposely couples some of the horrible-ness of this age with really adorable, funny, precious moments. Cause when its good, it's great. But when it's bad, I want to run the fuck away screaming.
Oh for sure. The good times are so so good but a lot of the time I feel like I need a big drink. That all sounds exactly like my M too.
DS had his first swim lesson today. DH got in with him so I could leave before the end and go to yoga. I think he liked it but he was a little overwhelmed. I'm interested to see how he does as he gets more comfortable. Has anyone else done swim lessons yet?

We did swim lessons n last year around this time. We will be signing up again ina few weeks.
I just got on Facebook and saw that my good friend had her baby today. I'm a little hurt that I found out from Facebook. But obviously I don't know any details so maybe things happened fast.

This is so much my h. Except he doesn't wash up after. It just doesn't feel worth it.

I feel like I could have written this. I'm hoping it gets a little better when he starts a day a week at daycare. I need some time for myself to start to regain some sanity.

robotpcr and everyone else that is invested in April the Giraffe's yet... they are saying she is having significant contractions. I have also never seen the number of viewers so high so she may have the calf today. ETA: never mind about the views. I was looking at the archived data not the live stream.

Ohhhh. Yay!
I have been watching on and off. You can see when her sort of shudder every once in awhile but not often. I am assuming that is the contractions. It's cool but nothing exciting is happening yet. #InvestedInAprilsUte
