Why Wednesday

[kartish]

I was scrambling eggs for breakfast when I hear an unusual sound from the front room. I look in and V is sitting on top of the entertainment center.

This morning is off to an awesome start already.

Going to try and go to the gym and swim today. I've been on edge lately and I think some pool time may help center me.

[dmorgendorffer]

kartish Hope you're able to get the gym and feel better.

I remember a little while ago some of you were complaining about being in teething hell with molars coming in and I was thinking how I wasn't looking forward to that. I'm pretty sure we're in it now. DD hasn't been as interested in eating and has only sttn once in the past week and half. Combined with an insane day of meetings today I'm thinking there are multiple cups of coffee in my future.

[kartish]

dmorgendorffer now that you mention teeth, I should check if he is getting his top canines in. That may explain his recent fussy moods. If not then well maybe it's a growing pain?

[lilyelayne]

kartish I hope you get to the pool today & that it helps.
dmorgendorffer DS went through phases of wanting his food diced small or wanting big pieces he could nibble on when he was getting his molars. Maybe try changing food presentation? Hope your meetings go smoothly.

DS had fun at the library today, then we went by DH's office so I could get an adjustment and we ended up going with him to meet some friends for lunch. Going to my grandma's for our usual Wednesday night supper (not the grandma I saw yesterday, my other one) and my mom thinks she'll be back in town early enough to join us! She's been at the beach since last week.

My second run movie theater does a wed morning summer series and today was the Peanuts Movie. I took N (my sister watched A for me). It was a cute movie but I think N gets a little overwhelmed by theaters. She has a gentile, sensitive soul. But then she inadvertently hurt my feelings by saying she wanted to see Finding Dory with her Aunt and not me and H (which we were planning on doing soon). Kids :shrugs::

I think A is going through teething issues as well. Cranky around bed and eating times. Woke up crying last night and I almost had to go in there. So unlike her.

Oh yeah, molars and canines are what nightmares are made of. One of C's top canines is through and the other is super close.

Speaking of crabby kids, is anyone else's kid hitting? C has been smacking me in the face if she's mad, gets hurt or is just sick of me. It looks like sometimes she's playing and is smiling when she does it but other times she is really mad. I don't know where she got this from.

Not hitting but V pulls hair. Sometimes he is playing but sometimes it's when he is mad. My head is really sensitive and it really hurts. We tell him no and that it hurts and we don't pull hair, but hopefully he gets it soon.

[tortor4]

kartish yes! I'm really hoping it's just a phase.

[Deleted]

tortor4 Yeah, we have a hitter as well. Sometimes she does it to play, but she mainly hits us when she's upset or angry. I don't know where she got it from either, must be a primal instinct

kartish Ouch, hair pulling sounds worse than hitting! Hopefully he'll get it soon!

Also, my ute status is: unoccupied


Thanks for letting me vent yesterday, ladies. Extra precautions will be taken from now on until we're ready.

[kartish]

DH just texted me that he got passed up for the promotion. Again. Last time a supervisor pretty much told him they he'd get the next one too. ugh!

[dreemkin]

kartish sorry for your H =(
@alyllyra yay!

Yes, my kid hits and pulls hair. I just try to react as little as possible and say, "no, we do not ___". I usually remove her from the situation (put her down, take her away from toy...). But it hurts like hell. I remember when N was little I accidentally hit her head because it was instinct to try to move her hands away from pulling my hair so hard (I though she was gonna take chunks out). It was very sad and as you can see it still bothers me.

Oh and also N starts a new swim level tonight with a new coach. I'm nervous that she will like her because she was really attached to her last one but I guess he doesn't teach this next level. Then after that there is a park district concert in the park two blocks away from me that I want to check out. Even if we just walk by it'd be fun to check out since it's so close.

That sucks kartish, I'm so sorry.

Ugh. Time to start putting together a resume and looking elsewhere?

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I get hit and bit

[tortor4]

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) love tit for solidarity.

C bit the little girl we were watching today. I felt so bad and was so scared to tell her dad but he was nice about it. I know it happens but come on C, be nice!

[tortor4]

If I lean in and ask C for a kiss and she's not feeling it she smacks me in the face. What a blow to the ego!

[dreemkin]

Oh yeah, LO bites N. But to be fair she gives a warning of cries/whines of disapproval of what her sister is doing before she goes in for the bite. Still not good, I know.

[dreemkin]

So I have a swim lesson dilemma and need an outside perspective please. She's in a new level with a new coach and seemed to do well tonight. But her old coach talked to me and he would like for N to switch to his class. Problem is that it's at 4pm. So DH wouldn't be able to switch off taking her and I'd always have to take A (which I don't mind bc I'd do anything to make N happy). Norah loooves her old coach but would it be nice for her to have some change? Or am I over thinking that and making it a big deal in my head? She does so well with him. He's consistent and always there (high turn over at this place) and really enjoys working with N. Sigh, I think typing this out might be a sign of what I think I should do but what do think? I know 1st world problems but my girls' happiness means everything to me.

dreemkin Is the old coach's class at the same level? Why wasn't she automatically put in that one? What are your feelings about the new coach?
What does N herself think? If you don't mind the time of the class then I would really let N be part of the decision.

Agree with this!

[lilyelayne]

kartish sorry about your H's job. Agree with Aggie, is it time to look elsewhere?
dreemkin +1 to what alyllyra said. Would your H be super bummed to miss all the swim lessons?

[kartish]

Thanks guys. He is holding his judgement on looking elsewhere until he sees who actually got the job. But I've been trying to get him to branch out for a bit now.

dreemkin would switching after the first class put N at any sort of disadvantage?
