Monday Shmonday

[marygracerich]

Good morning!
I am currently cooking breakfast for me and G. Later on its library toddler group. After dinner I am going to head to work for a few hours.
I hope everyone is having a good day.

When will you start transitioning into your new position?!

Hopefully I get more information today. The recruiter was off Friday but she's back today. The other candidate doesn't know the decision yet so that's been challenging. I'm really anxious to see what my new salary will be.

Hope you all have a great Monday! Ds has only just gone to bed about 1.5 hours late. I should go to bed too cause I'm tired after all the wake ups last night but now I just want to sit for awhile and enjoy being alone.

The sleep struggle is real! I've been in your shoes a gazillion times.

Worst thing is it had finally started to get better, now it's all gone downhill again.

Good morning. It is rainy and gross here. But it's supposed to be warm so that sucks for park purposes. I'm taking M grocery shopping this morning and then to lunch with my 2nd cousin. Hopefully she doesn't fall asleep on the 20 minutes home. I will be screaming at her if necessary.

[robotpcr]

Also, wtf, I am STILL sick. It's been over a week now. Based on the time line of M's coughing it should be better soonish but this sucks. I haven't had a decent night of sleep in weeks with first her coughing all night and now me.

In response to all the tension in the past week, H decided to do a load of laundry for me last night. It contained literally every piece of clothing that fits me right now and a lot of W's stuff, including her lovey. He decided to also add cloths that he used to clean up spilled gasoline while doing yard work.

So W and I both smell like gas today, which H thinks is funny. I'm at work lightheaded from the fumes and not finding the humor. Literally everything I own smells like gas- underwear, socks, pants, shirts, and PJs. I have so few clothes. I'm so angry. This was just so stupid on his part.

time is just flying. I am not sure how its the end of March already. The work weeks have been going pretty fast and weekends always do. I need to take some vacation time. We have a week scheduled at our time share in Branson but it isn't until the end of May. Also, I have no idea what I am doing for E's birthday.

[smilesp]

DH is on spring break and we leave for NYC sans toddler tomorrow morning. I have to work today so I'm working on getting packed and ready today. My mom is spending the night tonight so she can wrangle DS and we can leave on time in the morning. We're taking to train and it's our first train trip!

Aldi sells knock off thin mints and tagalongs. I wish I didn't know that.

That just stupid and dangerous. I feel like you and W breathing in the smell of gasoline CANNOT be healthy or safe.

My H ALWAYS overstuffs the washer and adds tons of soap and fabric softener and it reeks of soap when all is said and done. So we do NOT wash our clothes together. I wash mine and S's in clear & free and let H do his own. And he knows to never be "nice" and throw any of my clothes into one of his loads.

Go buy a new outfit...

I'm angry for you!

[honda13]

linny12 I would be so pissed. Idk if you'll ever get that smell out. MH would be dead if he thought that was funny.

[honda13]

My official start date is Monday and I received the maximum pay raise. Much excite!

That's so exciting, have a great trip!

Lunch with my cousin was great. It doesn't hurt that she loves little kids so she's really good with M. Now the kiddo is napping and I have made 389635 phone calls. But I got a dermatologist appointment and an annual visit to check out the midwives I hope to see for my next pregnancy. With my boss on maternity leave I can make some of these appointments on my less busy work day when I have childcare.

[marygracerich]

G is not napping. She seems to believe that the 5 minutes she slept in the car is enough. Please please please fall asleep kid. It's not looking good but I can dream right?! Right?!

[cosmicav]

I can't believe this weekend is April. I will have a 2 year old and a 2 month old in April. I don't know how this happened so fast :0 my babies are growing up!

Oh linny12, I don't mean it in a hateful way but your husband seems like a serious dunderhead sometimes. He needs to get his shit together. Also, buy yourself and your girl a new non-smelly outfit. Or several. Treat yoself

I only have 14 weeks left in this pregnancy, so I didn't want to spend more on clothes, but I might have to. If I get a few minutes of freedom W may be getting more though, because I can't stop shopping for her.

I'm most upset about the lovey. I'm going to have to handwash it and scrub it or something. That Soft Kitty is basically air to W. She can't live without it.

[linny12]

So against H's feelings on it, I called to get a referral for W for her communication delay. The agency used in my area is the same agency that an ex-friend works for as a LISW. Is there a chance she'd be involved in this? Like do LISW do speech evaluations and intervention?

The ending of our friendship was really bad, and DNW to have to deal with her.

The messy haired no nap monster

I am pretty sure that if she wasn't so cute, I would have pulled all of my hair out by now.

Hey 14 weeks is a long time! Check the thrift store! You may be able to find some good stuff on the cheap I totally doubled my pregnancy wardrobe for like $10 last time around. It was awesome, lol.

Good luck with the lovey :/ I don't know any good tips for smells but I bet the internet has something. Godspeed

linny12 I also read this as a perfect opportunity to go buy new clothes for you and W!!!

Buy all the things and then see if your H thinks ruining your clothes is still funny.

I'm hoping I can rewash and then hang outside to air them out. But our suitcases from vacation just came back with my parents so I'm working on that laundry mountain right now.

[linny12]

W just ran into the kitchen screaming "MA MA ma!" And pointing to the living room. Shimmer and Shine came on TV and we have to have a dance party during the theme song.

Gah, I love this girl.

I feel like I'm drowning in life and she's just like "let's dance." She is the light in my life right now.

I love how they can make us laugh even when we don't want to.

Baby had the stomach flu Friday morning. Today is the first day of Spring Break and the other two came down with it. I'm hoping I can still salvage my plans for the week.

Oh no.  I hope everyone feels better soon.

[robotpcr]

We're going to do a small immediate family party for M's bday in CA, including 2 of our closest friends. We'll probably fly in Thursday so I was thinking about having the party Sunday afternoon. But our friends have an event so would miss most or all of it. Do I move the party to Saturday and only have 1 (jet lagged) day to prep? Or keep it on Sunday. Hmmmm.
