Ugly cried last night from being overtired & overwhelmed. Could NOT get DS to go to sleep and his poor gums hurt. We were both crying. DH didn't get home until late and was gone all weekend so it was just me and him. Hoping today is better now that I have some help.
My Monday moan is that now my eyes are puffy and everyone at work keeps asking if I'm sick.... Yes. Of you asking. Can't a girl just cry without the world knowing?! (And AF may or may not have something to do with all of this moaning lol)
Daycare was closed due to snow but work wasn't so I had to cancel a meeting and use a vacation day. I probably shouldn't complain though since instead of working I'm currently eating blackberries with DS. He's a mess.

How did I not realize we have LOs the same age? M turned 5 months yesterday. I'm sorry about the teething... and the puffy eyes and AF!

DH is training someone for the next 4 weeks. It's good because that's his job but I failed to realize it means he will be home closer to 9 vs 8. He just went to sleep, which means I can't wake him up to help me until closer to 3 when my work day is almost over. Luckily LO is napping right now but I just peeked at my emails for today and I have A LOT of stuff going on. These are the days I wish we could afford a mother's helper to come, even for just the 3 hours I'm truly "busy" each day. Might text mom and see if she can swing by for a few hours after work later...
I stupidly started another master's degree last fall and I'm really regretting it. I don't want to do any work. I have a paper due tomorrow that haven't even started so I'm trying to get motivated to knock it out. The degree is sort part of my professional development goal at work so I can do some of the homework here, which is nice, but I don't always have a lot of time during the work day to devote to it. I'm just miserable and dragging my feet about it.
smalltownmoon I finally added a ticker so I wouldn't have to keep saying LOs age every time I posted somewhere. (Even though siggys don't show mobile...) I did know you were S14. Happy "very merry unbirthday" to your LO! DS turns 5 months tomorrow

queenbabee I need to add a ticker too...were you active on S14? I was on the daily threads until probably October. Then everything died off and a lot of people migrated to FB.
DD was a holy terror all weekend. I know she's teething really bad but I feel like we've been at terror level red every weekend for the past few weeks. I need to call in sick one day and send her to daycare just to catch a break.

I'm sorry! This is my big fear with doing another Master's degree.

eyenigh Good luck with your paper...it took me way too long to get my Bachelor's degree because I just hate school that much. So I can't imagine working a "real job", having a kid and being in school. You are a beast.

I can't stand people that just won't move out of my way.. in particular, school parking lot. It's slippery & slushy. Why does the 5'1" girl holding a 40lb kid more than half her height have to maneuver out of YOUR way?! Move the eff over. GD!

It's pissing down a nasty freezing rain combo this AM and I am the only one in my department (there are 5 of us on our team) that made it to work today. Sucks because that means it's going to be a LONG silent day, but good because I can hang out here in peace.
Also contemplating taking a short lunch and leaving a half hour early.

I was not active. TBH I was not a huge fan of the more active members there lol. I lurked there from 1/14 on, basically from BFP on. I do remember you as WAGoS though. I was a kind of happy when the FB group kicked off because almost all the ones I didn't like went there and there was only one left after that. Haven't seen her here though. but who really knows with all the SN changes.

I know, I don't recognize anyone and I can't even complain because I've changed mine 3x, lol. :-P

I keep dropping and spilling shit today. I also had to throw away an entire brand new canister of Up & Up cleaning wipes because the fuckers would not separate, and they just kept pulling out of the canister. I only have this problem with the yellow containers that have that God awful artificial lemon scent, which I wouldn't mind if it was good lemon scent but it smells like lemon ass. The blue, fresh scent containers never give me issues like this.

I want to watch the rest of Downton Abbey today, but I'm not sure the kiddo's going to nap and give me a chance to do it. I want to pop my DVD into my computer so she won't be distracted by the TV being on while she naps, but yeah. If she's awake, she gets too nosy.
There is construction going on outside our house and they accidentally cut our Verizon Fios line last week. No cable or wifi since last Tuesday and I'm going insane. I couldn't watch the Grammy's. I couldn't watch Downton. Or The Bachelor. Or PLL. And DS can't watch Bubble Guppies so all hell is breaking loose. They are SUPPOSED to come out for the 3rd time today and hopefully get the line reconstructed. If they don't I'm seriously going to lose my mind.

It took me 7 years to do my master's degree. It probably would've taken longer, except my credits were going to start expiring. After I finished, everyone was like, "So, now you're going to get a doctorate?" Um. No. Just no. I don't want to teach and I don't want to be a professor so why would I get a doctorate?
