Monday is back. Back again.

[smilesp]

We're supposed to get a bunch of snow starting this evening. I know most people aren't happy about this but I'm so excited. We've literally had one inch all winter.

[marygracerich]

Good morning ladies!
I have been up since 2:45. My body hates me. I am sure my insomnia is hormonal but whatever I got like 4 hours of sleep up until that point so I will probably live.
G is still asleep. I am not surprised since she was up partying in the middle of the night.
We have a lot to do today. MHs schedule is awful and not conducive to the times I need to work but I guess I have to deal. I may take G to the toddler class at the library today.

[marygracerich]

smilesp i am not looking forward to the snow. It's screwing up my work schedule badly. I am covering a shift for someone tomorrow and I am unsure if I am going to be able to get there.
We are in the 12-24inch snow range. 😑

[bethypoo83]

Morning! Been at work since 7. Leaving early so I can go have a grown up date night with DH for his birthday!

We're looking at about 15-25 cm (5-10")of snow tonight/tomorrow. Hoping we don't get that since it will be a bitch to travel in to pick up J from my parents.

To those of you on the east coast, stay warm and safe. I know it is looking pretty terrible for you guys!

[elephantastic]

I feel like I'm dying. F time changes.

I'm at work. My first patient, an 8am appt, cancelled at 8:07. Oh.

[mom2boys2]

I'll play today. I'm on spring break. I brought the boys to my parents house on Saturday. We had our first Chuck E. Cheese visit Saturday afternoon/evening. It was fun but exhausting. I'm surprised at how much they couldn't do there. Games were more advanced than I remember as a kid.

Yesterday we went to some nearby caverns so DS1 could see stalactites and stalagmites (he heard about them in Nature Cat). That was fun. I carried DS2 on my back in the Tula and he did great! Today my parents are at work so we will go get a haircut for DS2 then probably go to an indoor play place.

[robotpcr]

Ugh. We're supposed to get 10-12in I think and I also wanted one more snowstorm this winter. But a couple of weeks ago. Not now when it was already 70 and the daffodils bloomed. I'm going out to cut some from our yard before the snow kills them. So sad. Also our cherry trees already have a bunch of buds. If this messes their bloom up I will cry.

Us too. I don't know who wants to build a snowman more, the kids or dh.

[lgsdesigner]

Super tired. I hate you, Daylight Savings.

[lgsdesigner]

Bring on the snow!!!

[hotcoconuts82]

It took me 2 hours to fall asleep last night. Boo.

Ugh, same. I might catch a nap when DD does, but then it does nothing to break the cycle.

[lgsdesigner]

My boss is being a feisty one today. Up everyone's butt.
I'm glad I'm doing volunteer work for half the day to avoid her.

[prater2011]

I'm "training" (meaning I am sitting in the room in case there are problems or questions) a girl for chemo. I have a lot of back work to do and have to prep for my ACLS class. I'm tired as well and its been that way some time. I think it's more depression than anything. I don't necessarily feel depressed but mostly because I HAVE to do things. Things w/ MH are still crazy as ever. He is still in treatment but he has had a lot of relapses and even when hes good, things with us aren't good. MOstly because I can't get over everything with one I'm sorry and one good day. He thinks if he doesn't use that fixes everything....I don't

Who you callin' a hoe??

I was totally going to comment on that and forgot!

[prater2011]

I need ideas for E's birthday. I'm slacking big time.

[cosmicav]

Bring on the snow!!!!!

We have gotten barely any at all; we have actually gotten a few 70+ degree days. It's supposed to be winter, dammit.

ALSO, the more snow days that come up, the more my maternity leave is paid, since if school cancels, they don't take my sick day from me. So.....Give me a snow storm over here!!!!!!

[marygracerich]

We had Wendy's for lunch. Now G is in bed and so am I. MH is heading back to work soon which makes me sad. He won't be home until almost 8 and then I have to head off to work. I will have no more help with G for the rest of the day and I won't get home from work until about midnight.

[prater2011]

cosmicav, take ours! We have had some warmer weather, a couple tornados and then snow all in a week lol. Also, I missed baby cosmic2's pic!! PM me??

[robotpcr]

prater2011, keeping you in my thoughts. Sorry things are rough.

[robotpcr]

M is down. Please let it be a better nap than yesterday! The plus of this snow is DH will likely come home early to beat the storm. But I'm sure library storytime will not happen tomorrow since even 8 inches will shut everything down here.

Thanks. I really need to go to counseling for myself. I know it. I just haven't made me a priority. I'm mad at myself for that because i know that if I don't deal with my stuff I can't be great for my girls. But on the other hand i feel like if i take the time to myself then I'm giving up time with them, and I also don't trust MH to be with them. I'm really angry that he can't understand why I'm upset at him when "hes clean". I tried to explain to him that he has no idea what its like to deal with his problems from my end, cover it up for the girls, deal with the binges and still want to keep things good with us. I've been understanding and supportive each time he has relapsed. Ive been super angry, but its because he has lied (even when its apparent to everyone he is using-slurred speech, crazy behaviors etc) and I have to go digging to find what hes doing. I would rather him just tell me he screwed up.

stuck in box: we were lucky and only got a couple inches. the roads are just wet now, snow in the grass. We are supposed to be back in the 60s by friday, Iowa...SMH

[marygracerich]

G has been in her crib for more than an hour. Still no sleep. This is not looking good for my nap.

[marygracerich]

G didn't nap at all which means I didn't nap. I am so screwed for the rest of the day. I have been up since 2:45. I have no idea how I am going to make it through work tonight until like 11:30. I'm so tired.

[prater2011]

marygracerich, sorry youre dealing with this. Is she off from DST?

No. She just doesn't nap sometimes. I wish I could express to her how fabulous naps really are.
Right now we are watching LILO and Stitch. I am hoping that she gets tired and falls asleep on me for about a half hour so I can nap too.

I'm so sorry.  That just all sounds awful.  It really sounds like you're doing everything you can for him.  I hope there's maybe some way you can find the time to see someone yourself, I agree it sounds like it would really helpful.

prater2011 is your H in counseling? Could you may go with him and express how you're feeling there with a neutral party that could help him understand?

Also sorry you're dealing with this 😔

He was in intensive output for 3 wks and just cmpleted 90 days outpt. He just had another relapse a month ago so I don't really feel he should be done plus his behaviors at home. It was addiction rehab so I couldn't go w. Either way, if he's better or not, I need to see someone and we prob need couples counseling as well.

[robotpcr]

obi DH took this and I thought of you too.
