Evidently my darling children didn't get the memo that Mother's Day extended into the night. Dd was up three times, about hour apart, from 1:30 to 4ish. Ds got up a little early again, around 5:45. Sighs.
I feel so behind since I was gone last week. I need to meal plan and hit up the grocery store. Get caught up on house organization. Circle Time is today. Thank you notes for birthday gifts. Plus I really want to continue scanning in these pictures. Not enough time! Oh and dd has been eating like a monster so here I sit.

I am ready to set this whole county on fire. I left another voicemail with payroll this morning regarding my lack of paycheck. Apparently they think I am still on leave because I just receiving e-mails stating that I have not entered my leave into the system since April 17. WTF! I AM NOT ON LEAVE.
Anywaaaays, my Mother's Day was delightful. So there's that.

heybulldog56, I hope they get things sorted out soon. I am still missing part of my pay because of stuff with the state, it's so annoying to keep following up.

E has been doing well sleeping her in crib, she was up around 4:30 fussing and in effort to get some sleep we just put in her in the mamaroo. Mother's Day was completely uneventful. It felt a bit sad too, I have two other girls who make me a mother who I could not share it with. I hated everyone saying it was my first mother's day, I consider last year my first mother's day, I guess most people don't count it if you don't have a living child..
I am craving a good breakfast, eggs, potatoes, pancakes....
Hi! I'm doing pretty good actually, just becoming a dirty lurker. My mom is doing amazing, we have been spending a lot of time over at her house. She got the results back from the fluid around her heart, which they said was a 95% chance it was the cancer spreading but it was benign! She is also 80% back, she gets tired easy and can't stand and hold the babies but she is talking and thinking like normal, it's really kind of amazing. ___________________________________________ As for me, R is rolling and going through the 4 month regression, which is awful, naps being almost worse than nights. My ILs are coming at the end of the month so I have to get my house ready for that 😐. They will be her for dd's 2nd birthday, I'm trying to stay on the positive thoughts train about all of it. I am going to try to stay more connected here, you ladies make me feel sane.
@ellabee I hope B is okay! It's so scary when our babies aren't themselves. ___________________________________ heybulldog56 payroll issues are the worst! I had something similar when I came back from leave with dd. I hope it gets sorted soon! ___________________________________ peaseblossom55 yesterday was not your first Mother's Day. You are a mama to those 3 sweet girls! I'm sorry anyone made you feel differently. _______________________________________________@carrots sleep poops are the worst, they end all sleep at our house, talk about insult to injury. Have fun at the zoo! _______________________________________________@lakegirl you sound so busy! I hopd you get a moment of double nap peace today!

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a lovely mother's day!
Last week was a nightmare, I'm so glad its over! Mother's day was lovely! I sucked it up and agreed to see MIL and the inlaws for the SIXTH weekend in a row, but then she caught a cold and cancelled, which was lovely, even if it makes me a terrible person. My family works weekends and holidays, so we dropped by and said hi, but didn't get to visit.
H is still on antibiotics which are awful to give him via syringe, so this morning i put it in a small bottle. please tell me this is ok, because it worked beautifully.
DH got on board with feeding the frozen, but maybe overdid it with three bottles in a row, because we got some explosive projectile poop. DH is traumatized... Milk was from early January, I have mixed feelings about it
Operation Neighbor 2.0: new neighbors moved in across the street a month or so ago. I said hey to her one day while returning from a walk, uphill, with the double stroller and dog.
She came to circle time today with her 15 month old. I started up a convo. New neighbor: oh I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you! Lakegirl: it's okay! I was drenched in sweat!
Way to make it awkward. She seemed down with hanging out though.

Well, I had to go there, I had to get aggressive. After e-mailing back and forth all morning, I straight up told HR that I would be staying home while they resolved the issue. Low and behold, I get a phone call within 5 minutes. In less than 15 minutes I received the form I needed (which the lost the first time), got it signed by my principal, and scanned it to the correct person. SERIOUSLY?! I have to get aggressive and make threats to get people to do their jobs!? This is bullshit. I will not be fully relieved until I get my first paycheck. I just do not trust these people.

heybulldog56, WTF is wrong with people? It can't seriously be that hard to do just do their job. >.< I have all the anger for you.
ellabee, I hope everything is going alright. I'll be stalking for an update but take your time!
I am so tired of not getting any sleep. This cough is the WORST. I had a coughing fit while trying to help a customer and I felt so bad. I could barely get two words out before needing to cough again. It's been not so fun.
Mother's Day went well. Ballooning sucked only because I wanted to sleep in but it was so beautiful out and we finished up like, an hour ahead of schedule! My parents tagged along to help, too, so having everyone there was great. We went out for breakfast afterward with my ILs and discovered that apparently no one goes to Panera for breakfast on Mother's Day. It was a nice discovery because all of us were tired Lol I had no nap (dumb cough) but H and the boys had nice long ones. DS1 picked out some things for the puppy and H finished building my garden bed so I got my plants planted. Hopefully, they won't die. I lack a green thumb.

lakegirl, at my first year-end performance review with my boss (about 3 weeks after she replacemy old manager):
Boss: great job this past year. Between the company's results and your performance, we were able to negotiate an x% raise, bringing your salary to (a number I was blown away by and not expecting... in a good way). Me: blank stare. Boss: is that in line with your expectations? Me: Sorry, I'm really itchy and sweaty because I'm nervous and I'm having a hard time focusing. I wasn't expecting a raise like that. Boss: Um...ok? I don't know how I wasn't fired for being a weirdo.

N was up at 3 last night, ugh. Then I woke her up at 6:15 to top her off before I left, and she spit up all over my new bra. Good thing I didn't have my blouse on yet!
I bring her into the bedroom "I gotta leave" DH: You aren't putting her back to sleep Me: *glances at happy, bright eyed baby in arms* uh, does she look sleepy to you? Also, DS is awake.
To his credit he got right up, but seriously? She doesn't always go back to sleep that time of morning.
I'm tired but hanging in. My motivation to do work stuff is very low. My boss is out of town and the phones are really quiet. I did brush up on release notes for our software updates at least

Oh- the raise was from last year. But the moment was SO awkward that its burned into my memory. And I had sweaty flashbacks of it reading about lakegirl's experience

You have the best stories. Drunk pony boob bite was also yours yes? I still laugh at that one.
Pony bite on the boob was me. Telling my boss I was sweaty and itchy was me.
I lead an awkward life. At my mom's funeral, a friend came up to me to offer condolences, and I was like "Zomg!!! Let me see your engagement ring!!!!!"

meeggaannw, what wonderful news about your mom! That's fantastic! I hope she continues to gain strength.
heybulldog56, stab stab stab. WTF is wrong with people?
Hugs peaseblossom55, I don't blame you for being upset. I hope you enjoyed your second mothers day.
judyblume14, girl you make me laugh on the reg. So funny!
It has been a slow day here at work, which has been complete torture for once. I have been so sleepy that I can barely focus on anything. I legit thought about crawling under the table in the pumping room earlier for a nap, but didn't because a) gross and b) it was too cold. But yeah, so tired. Mother's Day was okay, DH made breakfast and dinner and got me some makeup I had wanted, otherwise we were super busy all day with errands. Noah's 6 month appointment is tonight after work and I'm curious to see what his stats are!
Thanks for all the well wishes guys. B is doing well. They suspect it was an episode of intussusception that resolved itself. Essentially it's when a portion of the intestine kind of telescopes in on itself. We just have to watch for any vomiting or bloody diapers now, which would mean it's back.
So that was a fun Mother's Day. 🙄 DH made me a really nice dinner tonight to help make up for it.

I finally have a baby F update. His chest xray shows an infection. Hopefully a round of antibiotics takes care of it. He is just has happy as ever though.
