wineandcake I'm glad you're taking some time for yourself, that is so important. Work that in and that will be a big help! I take the happy pills too and I love them!!! They have made a huge difference for me.
Just got the official email that our office is closed tomorrow because of the impending snow storm! I stocked up on popcorn and candy since booze is no longer an option (meh), but that should do

We are closed too. That's how you know it's serious business. My office rarely closes.
You all are so sweet. They've been tag-teaming crying today, but Max is finally letting me wear him and is passed out. Somehow this is okay with Elena, where my holding him is not and leads her to frantically also try to get on my lap. So it's better now.
I spent many an afternoon with DD1 on my back and DD2 on my front. Whatever it takes to survive IS winning right now.
wineandcake, I'm glad you're taking some care of yourself. You have a tough schedule and lots going on at home too! It is hard not to feel guilty about taking time for just you, but it is so important! I always hate missing out on extra time with my kiddo, but when I'm a happy mama, it makes our time together a better quality. I hope you get to lounge around in pjs tomorrow
imavera, so frustrating, a heads up would be nice, huh? We love our agent, but had to let his mom take over for a couple weeks when he was off the grid. Hopefully you hear back soon!

I did too much today because I was starting to feel better and now my throat is scratchy, I am achy, and so tried.
But tomorrow I should get to rest because I washed and changed all the bedding, did all the laundry and put it away, swept, mopped, emptied the dishwasher, bathed all the kids, cleaned off most of the toys downstairs, and made dinner.

kristhegirl this may seem hard now but it will become your new normal. You will learn Max as he changes and grows much the way you have with Elena. You will be able to adjust accordingly. Just take it a day at a time you can do it.
Even when it was crazy, I look back at that time fondly.

kristhegirl, I'm only 10 days into having 2 kids, but I've already had to (several times) talk myself into calming down and remembering to take it one day at a time. I've had several "what was I thinking!?" moments today alone. Hang in there!
sharebear05 I was so confused at your braving the stores post. For I second I thought you still lived in TX and I was all like, wow, this storm is something if TX is getting it too!
Sorry I am sleep deprived, self-induced.
I'm kind of excited for snow tomorrow. I don't have to work. H is working OT driving the plow for the fire department. Our car is fixed, but I have no way of picking it up. I feel so bad that it finally snows and H's Jeep is out of commission. It seems like it would be so much fun to drive in the snow. I was able to get a few knit gloves and hats for the girls for so cheap at Target. It's so hard to find waterproof ones that fit Hailey. I ordered some earlier in the year online and they are way too huge for her. Poor thing is going to be swimming in all of her snow stuff tomorrow anyways since it's all hand me downs. The life of a second daughter!
I was complaining about the 4 inches of snow we got today....then I realized there wasn't a 1 or 2 in front of that number and decided to shut up. Enjoy your snow days ladies! I got the best fb message tonight. A mom of a former patient asked me if I'd come to her daughters college graduation?!!! Her daughter decided to become a nurse and it was because of me and I cannot tell you how amazing that is. Or how proud I am of this girl!! Nevertheless she persisted, so unbelievably proud of her. She took one of the hardest obstacles of her life and turned it into a huge triumph. It's so humbling to be an inspiration to your own hero. This came at a perfect time, today was rough at work and any reminder of the good that happens is such a pick me up.

Tgrrl that is so awesome. I'm tearing up. You've had some rough cases that you've shared a little of here, and I love hearing such a wonderful positive outcome - for you and for her.

Can't sleep so I might as well buy 4 giant boxes of diapers, right?
