My Zumba teacher is out of town and I just cannot handle her substitute instructor, who is the most bouncy and frantic dancer I've ever seen. The only reason I can keep up is that I know my lady's dances. My brain cannot learn and move at the same time right now. So I skipped class last week (my one workout I'm currently doing) and I'm going to try Zumba Gold, the old lady version, today.
I need groceries badly. I think we're at the stage of all finger foods and things I can dump on a tray and bake. Dinner last night: fish sticks. Breakfast today: apple slices, cheddar cheese, almonds. We will be grazing on snacks until late August and it's better if I just purchase for that.
I'm going crazy, we've only been up for an hour and all the kids have been doing is fighting. I swear they sense the baby is coming soon too because they've both been acting up and have been extremely clingy.
I have so much to do today and I don't want to do any of it.

Do we have the same kids? My oldest is pretty bossy so she always wants DS to play her way and he's recently decided he has his own opinions about what they do so they end up arguing all the time. And DS has been very whiney. Maybe the new babies will distract them.

Funny story. I've been working really hard with DS about talking through his emotions rather than throwing a fit or whining. So this happened Saturday while he was with H.
H took him to the store and promised him two candy bars since DD and I were getting pedicures. DS picks up two different packs of gum and H asks "Are you sure you want two gums? You don't want two different kinds, like a chocolate bar or something?" DS says no and H grabs a chocolate bar for himself and they leave.
On the ride home DS puts his head in his hands and starts sighing really loud. H asks what's wrong and DS responds with "I didn't make very good candy choices and now I'm disappointed." H tried not to laugh and asked "Well would you like to trade me my chocolate bar for one of your gums?" And DS perks up and says "Yeah! That's a great idea! You have the best ideas, you are the best dad!"
H called me laughing and took back every negative thing he said about me walking the kids through how they are feeling.
My in-laws came into town Saturday EARLY morning until this morning to visit/come to our baby BBQ at my parents' house. They made our house a complete messy disaster and filled up our freezer with seafood that they said they will eat when they're here in July. Now there's no room for me to make freezer meals for me and I don't eat seafood so none of that will benefit me once the baby is here and I don't have time to cook. Thanks, really helpful guys.
@canbagecabbage, we're at the same point with food. I have no desire to cook, but we're running low on finger foods.
glaze, housecarder, My kid is in the same way. Very clingy. Very needy. I've been trying to work on teaching her that she needs to wait for things and can't be in my arms 24/7 just because. Let's see how getting her blood work done today goes.
ellebelle, Seems like a good time for a freezer malfunction that causes all the food to go bad. I mean.... That sucks.

Oh shit. I have a real moan. It's like first trimester is back all of a sudden. I took my vitamin with a light breakfast and almost immediately got the saliva running feeling of about to puke. And now my sense of smell is super strong too. I'm pacing and sipping lemonade to keep from vomiting. This is nasty. No fair to combine huge belly ordeals with early pregnancy symptoms!

I'm going through this too! It's just not fair. I hope you feel better soon.
cabbagecabbage I am amazed that you can still Zumba! I cannot fathom doing more than small walks right now. I hope you and housecarder feel better soon
Also housecarder mad props to you!!!! As a teacher I am immensely grateful to you for teaching your kids these skills. TBH I don't give a shit if your kid can do math, spell, etc when then get to me - I can teach them those things in a year. Social problem solving skills are much more difficult teach, especially once kids get older!

Thanks. I joke that I'm basically tapping my toes at this point. No jumping, high kicks or any of that. And I spoke too soon. Class starts in 10 minutes and I'm still in my nightgown sipping lemonade. No Zumba Gold today. Luckily my teacher is back next week.

Ray I am all about social/emotional skills first. Have you heard of Lisa Murphy? She has a thing about how if a child can say his ABC's and count to 100 it doesn't matter if he's on the playground and someone takes his shovel and they don't know how to get it back. I always loved her seminars during early childhood conventions.
I kind of want to cry that DH got me up so early. He forgets that if he wakes me up but leaves me alone after that I will fall back to sleep...Ok it's not that he forgets. He likes me awake before he leaves for work. lol
Today we are going to Costco for melons. Some for me and some for the bookclub tomorrow. Picking up my testing strips and this should be the last refill I have to get for it!
Still trying to figure out what to get/make for DH's dad for Father's Day. He has everything, they don't like getting gift cards and we can only get away with doing it so much, and so that leaves baking over all. lol I really wish once you turned 21 no one expected gifts. lol
There is a dog in the area that has been barking for about an hour now, one of those really obnoxious whiny barks that labs do. I'm guessing it's owner has it locked outside. I'm really wanting to go find where it is, knock on the door, and tell the owner to bring the god damn dog inside. It's annoying and I'm in no mood to sit here and listen to a dog bark all day.
I wake up tired...everyday. My H thinks it is some weird phenomenon. I am also on a Twizzlers kick. AT my mom's house I had my pack and one of the kids came inside and went straight for my candy. I had to rationalize with my pregnant self that it was ok that someone else have a piece of my candy. Yay for arguing with myself in my brain to not kill a kid. (I have officially hit the crazy scale in this pregnancy).

cavewmn for DH I'm putting together a basket of "guy" stuff- premium beers, fishing lures, cookies. Stuff he'll use that's also consumable. Maybe something like that for your FIL?
cabbagecabbage I am also impressed you are still doing Zumba! I did groceries and am done for the day and need a nap to recover, ha ha.
I cannot keep up with my house. I can barely keep us in clean clothes and fed. My friend has a cleaning business and I initially thought it might be awkward to hire her, but now I'm thinking screw it and get her in to do a deep clean first week of July.
tikoberry99 oh ewww, that would gross me out! Good job kitties for doing your job! Mine would probably just play with a mouse if she ever came across one...Also, I feel like those suckers find the smallest cracks and weasel their way inside. Hopefully that's the only one you come across!
And I'm jealous about your Benihana dinner, hibachi is so tasty! Enjoy!
cabbagecabbage props to you on Zumba. I tried to do it once this pregnancy and felt like a beached whale. I have sustained doing Body Combat this entire time but I have slacked the past 3 weeks or so with everything going on. Hoping to get at least 3 days in this week.

I am lol at Zumba gold!
Also we are totally doing finger foods these days. Jack's breakfasts usually consist of grapes and cheese, I keep telling him he's so Greek!

I got my first "She's due at the end of July? She won't make it to the end of July" comment. An older female relative said it to my mom. Apparently I'm huge.
First of all... wtf that is so stupid. It's not like you automatically go in to labor once you reach a certain size.
Second... If I don't make it to the end of July, it'll be because my baby has IUGR and I was induced early as not to risk her health any further, NOT because I am huge. I hate people.

No I haven't!! That's awesome thanks.
Doi. I forgot you had a background in ECE it all makes so much sense now lol
