Lest12 To tag, you click on the icon that has the "@" symbol with the person next to it. A drop down will appear and you can just enter the name. It's pretty easy but is confusing sometimes because it uses the first name a person registered with, not necessarily the current name.
I didn't have yesterday off. . I'm definitely looking forward to President's weekend! I feel like I'm always counting down to the next paid holiday or vacation. I used to be so much more motivated but now all I want to do is clock my hours and get home to the little dude.
I'm just being added to the FB group and I can get to it at work, but I have to sort of 'backdoor' my way there (so it's blocked, but not really). I've been lurking on TB, feeling not ready to leave yet but it's a ghost town for the most part.
Lest12 I didn't have a holiday yesterday but DH did, so jealous! It is especially hard coming back from a long weekend though.
DH and I have been discussing maybe me going down to 72 hours per pay period (so a day off every 2 weeks) but I'm not sure. We have very different ideas for why I'm wanting to be home for a day. His idea is I'll be home to take and pick up DD1 from preschool that day, so she'll be home with me for half the day. DD2 will still go to daycare as usual (??) and I will clean the house, so we won't be paying for our house cleaning service anymore. My idea is have both girls home with me. I'll take DD1 to and from preschool and do SOME cleaning during preschool/DD2's naptime. He would also clean because he has every other friday off currently but doesn't keep either kid home with him.
He says no because he would be working 80 hour weeks and Fridays are "his" day to do other stuff since he puts in his working time. I would "only" be working 72 hours so I should be doing the cleaning. For reference, I suggested that I do the bathrooms (2 and a half baths) and the hard floors. He would have to do the vacuuming, dusting, and wiping down the kitchen. We'd both do the clutter pick up together because that's what we do now. I also need to point out that I can't work 80 hours in 9 days like him because I am the one who takes and picks up the kids so he can be at work longer...just sayin'.
And, this is why I cannot be a SAHM. He's obvious a child who needs everything to be "fair".
I'm here! I actually can go on this site while at work without a bajillion baby ads everywhere (a la TB style) so this is great haha.
Today is my first day back after a 4 day weekend. I work 3 days (2 of which are spent all day in conferences) and then we're going on vacay for 4 days, which means another 3 day work week after that. I don't know what I'm more excited about, the getaway or the 2 weeks of 3 day work weeks lol.
Hi all. I'm here, and I'm a working mom. (Used to post on June 14 and am just jumping back in now...hope that's ok!) I had Monday off for MLK Jr Day and was planning to, for the first time ever, drop both kids off at daycare and have a whole day to myself to clean, organize, and get a haircut. My productive day lasted 43 minutes...then daycare called to pick up my toddler. Turns out she had double pink eye and a double ear infection. She's better now though, and so far the little one hasn't caught anything. ::knocks on all the wood::
My productivity has been so low since Christmas break... Its bad. Trying to be better. TB blow up last week was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away, so trying to play catch up...
snowpants Your poor toddler! Glad she's feeling better! I'm sorry your day wasn't as productive as you hoped - I hate when my grand plans get thwarted (which is fairly often).

I am burning through my sick days in record time this year. I've used 4 days in the past two weeks due to either sick kids or sick babysitter. So frustrating.
Ummmmm, are we the same person sjdihle? That's exactly what DH and I do too. I mean, sometimes we watch other things but most nights after the girls are in bed we watch an episode or two.
Maybe we brought a couple seasons on DVD to the hospital to watch when I was induced with DD1. Maybe we brought a couple more when DD2 was born.
snowpants Thats amazing! We were in the process of binge watching How I Met Your Mother and we knocked out about 2-3 seasons while I was in labor/the hospital!
I cry every time we find out Pam is pregnant, Pam and Jim get married, Michael proposes, Michaels last 2 episodes, and of course the last episode ever. Its ridiculous!
I have a countdown on my phone to DSs 1st birthday. People think it's sappy but really it's telling me how much longer I have until I no longer pump at work. That's assuming little dude is cool with water/cowsmilk in the toddler room. I'll still BF I just won't be pumping and sending it in.
Speaking of daycare it's been weird coming in at lunch everyday and watching all the babies get older. Three have aged out since I've been there and two more will next month. Suddenly they eat table food, they stand, they walk, they say simple words and then they move on. I'm not ready for any of that. I panic thinking in the next 5 months my guy will learn all of that.
And now for something less sappy and more work related. My boss hired a new girl and I'm confused by her. She's really white trashy and I'm not usually one to be like that but... she has a giant back of the neck tattoo that says "owned". The quotes are part of the tattoo btw. Which makes me think she doesn't understand what putting a word in quotes means.

I was just thinking this! I looked around at the babies in DD's room yesterday and they're getting so big. So many are starting to crawl and being transitioned out. I love DD's teachers and I don't want her to move to the next room.
I am so unproductive today. I should be working but I'm playing on Mixbook trying to make a year in review book for 2014. Stupid iPhone pics are all saying low resolution and I'm worried that the pictures are going to look like crap.

I was an exclusive pumper with DD1 (not by choice) and I brought cupcakes and milk into work to celebrate my last day of pumping. I only told 4 of my coworker friends, who are all women, what the real reason behind them was so everyone else just thought they were random cupcakes. But in reality, they were celebrating my boob freedom!

Yay I'm glad this thread is here! I was still lurking on TB and it was really starting to get depressing. And to chime in...I feel SO weird about how old my babe has gotten! Last night she was shoveling pearl cous cous into her mouth like an old child. And she suddenly has opinions....and 4 teeth and is starting to get up on her knees and feet while crawling. It's so weird to think she'll someday actually be talking and asking me to listen to certain songs and do things for her.
Also- I can't wait to stop pumping, but I am so not looking forward to how my boobs will look. I feel like they look gross now even...they're so much more floppy and they have stretchmarks and they just seem to point downwards
Ooh, can I complain about something here? I'm not really working... I'm in school, doing my masters and spend two days a week on campus. But that's kind of like working, right?
There's a little room off one of the bathrooms in the library for pumping, but it doesn't have a door and I've had a few awkward encounters the past couple pumping sessions with curious people peering in to see what the noise of my pump is. So, on Thursday, I decide to try to find a different place. The medical science building claims to have a breastfeeding room, so I walk across campus and find it. Glory hallelujah, it has a door! I go in, there's someone sleeping on the couch! I was so disappointed, I just left. Went back to my other place and hoped for privacy.
