Whine and Wine Wednesday

[waffles]

I know we haven't really decided on a Wednesday theme, so I thought we could test a few out.


Post a Whine (negative) and a Wine (positive) for the week.

Whine: We have a major power steering leak in our only car. We're adding power steering fluid to it almost daily. The quote to fix it is between $1000-$3000 depending on what is wrong. It's an '06, 110,000 miles and we still owe money on it. I was planning on paying the vehicle off with our tax refund and now this. Ugh.

Wine: DS has blossomed so much in Kindergarten. It is incredible to see him grow and flourish this way. His 100th day of school is tomorrow and I am just amazed how quickly is is going, but oh so proud of my baby boy for all he has accomplished.

Whine: Our social worker is so incredibly inefficient. I am trying to get information about taking FMLA for when we get our 1st placement, she is zero help. And, there is little I can do to get ready for it at work, because the social worker has not even scheduled for our home study. She really doesn't even check in, it is me that is pushing the process along.

Wine: We had a friend over for dinner last night. We had such a good time! Dinner turned out way better than I was expecting. For the last few years we have become really close friends with her and her ex (even got matching tats). Now the ex lives 40 min away and works a different schedule than the rest of us. It was the 1st time that we have hung out as a trio. She was a little disappointed though, she thought we were inviting her over to announce that we were having/getting a baby.

Whine: Winter blues stink. The kiddos and I are tired of being mostly home bound. We are ready for spring, or a vacation!

Wine: We received money from family around the holidays to help offset the cost of enrolling the girls in some sort of music or gym class. They will be 18 months in February, so we are really close to being able to participate in free trial classes and then choosing one we like. I'm really excited to see how they do!

Whine - We had to cancel our IUI this month due to immature follicles. More waiting and possible medications. I am so uneducated regarding fertility meds so I am trying to do as much Googling as possible. Super sad.

Wine - I get to enjoy our work meetings & holiday party this weekend and don't have to worry about driving an hour plus back and forth for trips to the RE.

Whine - Z is starting to cry more, which is really stressful. Pondering some sort of anti-gas or colic drops for her. And then it really stresses both K and I out.

Wine - Snow day yesterday! I love the snow, and we took the kiddos out for a little photoshoot. Too cute!

Whine: just got back from my first MW apt and I still have a pocket of blood that they're mointoring. I'm trying not to worry but well it's my baby and I can't help but not worry.

Wine: We didn't lose power during the Blizzard!!!

I'm sorry about Z. R was a colicly baby for the first 3 months. With him being our first I had no clue how much was too much crying. It was god awful. I hope that Z's is just gas and not colic. If you need support/vent, I'm here.

Whine: I'm tired and hungry all the time.

Wine: We had our 8 week ultrasound today (8w1d, actually)! Rocky 3 is measuring right on schedule at 8w1d and has a strong heartbeat. And the clot/haemorrhage/bleed in the uterus has shrunk.

Whine: I miss my wife. Her work schedule is not ideal right now and big things will need to change if the schedule is going to change.


Wine: O is in her first ever back carry and is just chilling! And I have 2 hands and my front to myself so I can actually get stuff done! So excited to have a new weapon for helping her stay content.

Whine: Tomorrow is our first fifth grade band/orchestra/chorus concert of the year, and I'll be at work from 8am until 9pm at night. Uuuuugh. Plus, the saxophones are WOAH out of tune. Yikes.

Wine: Grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. If I am two people, that means I get two grilled cheese sandwiches, right? Yes.

Whine: There is a lot of extended-family drama going on right now. I hate feeling like I'm in the middle of things that I can't really control but have to deal with anyway. I'm frustrated and I'm letting it get to me more than I probably should.

Wine: LO is being especially delightful this week. She seems to have transitioned into a new phase (which I'm sure will end extremely soon as they all seem to to), and she's very observant and interactive but more calm and flexible than she has been since birth. She's entertained by things for longer stretches of time and she's willing to just hang out and observe and "talk" with us more instead of constantly wanting to be bouncing, eating, or asleep for 90% of each day. I'm enjoying this stage as long as it lasts- she's such a pleasure right now!

Im a day late but was traveling for work.

Whine - Work is really busy right now and we have a huge event next week that I am responsible for. I am so far behind that I am going to be working late until the event.

Wine - The boys turn 2 today and they are pretty cool little dudes.
