our cats puke all the time. I wish they would eat it. Less clean up.
I have so much to do when I get home from swim tonight. Finish steam cleaning the carpets, laundry, declutter for ILs impending arrival, move furniture in playroom to make room for FILs bed....oh yea, and feed the kids/get them ready for camp tomorrow. L is out tonight having dinner with a former colleague. If G didn't have 2 swim meets this weekend, I would skip it. Did I mention 2 swim meets this weekend? At 7am? Wheeee.
Next week is the last week of swim practice....until year round swim in September.
We need to get our food back on track. We haven't eaten at home (aside from me throwing kid food at the kids) in forever. We need to get back into a routine.
We need to get back to a better food routine too! I got into some bad habits during pregnancy and they have continued.
I've missed you all!
I lost my job a few weeks ago. I have been sad and pissed off about it. I barely worked and my wife makes much more than me anyway, so financially it doesn't make much of a difference. But I'm still pissed.
E is getting so big!
C kept calling her her cousin at the store today m. Not sure what that was about. She is generally good with her and asks to hold "my baby" all the time.

Gearing up to do some sewing projects. I just ordered some fabric. I am a novice and typically get very nervous about making things.
We also just received the play kitchen we got O for her bday. Now I have to put it together and decorate it.
I'm also putting together our Amazon order from our registry (made solely so we get the completion discount). Probably getting a few more diapers (because I can't resist) and probably putting together the bassinet tonight.

Thanks everyone. I didn't officially go on leave when I had the baby since I was part time. I could have gone on a leave of absence but didn't since I didn't see a problem meeting my minimum shift requirement since I scheduled them at end of schedule. However, they have yearly online education stuff they like done that was due during gap I wasn't working. I think I got a brief email about it right before I was due. I didn't get around to checking my email again for a couple weeks and apparently missed the deadline so they let me go. I am mad at myself for not staying on top of things. I'm a little annoyed at them that somebody didn't call me to tell me I needed to get the stuff done asap. When I called them to figure out what was going on the secretary I spoke to said they would have called me. She then looked up my number and they only had 6 digits entered in the system so obviously didn't call me.'
Anyway, sorry to ramble. The whole thing has made me question whether I really want to work unless I am able to go back to work full time or at least half time. It's just hard to really devote myself to a job when I don't work a lot. At the same time though I don't really want to work much for awhile because I want time with the new baby. And if I go back more full time I want to go back on my ADD meds. I can't do that if I breastfeed.
So I will likely sah for awhile. I'm hoping it forces me to do some more writing and other projects.
I love being a mom but I hate for me I feel like I really can't do both a full career and parent. I think lots of moms can but it's really hard for me. Still I wouldn't change it for the world.
mahler5, I was just talking about this with a friend here this week. You're not alone- we feel the same way. It's hard to do both. I struggle all the time with having a career and being a SAHM.

Oh man mahler5 that seems so shitty on their part. I have no idea how I'll be when we finally have a kid. Aa of now I plan to keep working full time but I can see wanting to go down to part time too. Whatever you decide will be great.
