We're home today with no plans which is very nice. C is currently obsessed with drinking the milk from my Cinnamon Toast Crunch. She hates the actual cereal but loves the milk. Silly girl.
lilyelayne how long do your hair appointments usually take? Mine seem to take forever and I can't imagine C sitting still the whole time! G seems so well behaved. I have to call to make an appointment today. I'm ready for a change so I think I'm going to go shorter.
V woke up extra early this morning so after several failed attempts of convincing him to go back to sleep I brought him or to the living room and let him play while I dozed on the couch. It worked for about a half hour before he started wanting breakfast.
G's fever spiked to 104 last night. He's so cranky today, even though the fever is responding well to drugs. We've been hanging out on the couch reading books all morning. It's the last day to turn in our summer reading books so I may run to the library in a bit. Wear him on my back so he doesn't put his germy hands on anything.
tortor4 my hair appt takes 25-30 minutes or so? It's really short. And I don't color it. kartish ugh for the early wake up.
lilyelayne ohhh ok that makes sense. I'm never out of there in less than like 2 or 3 hours so I was like no way could that happen with C. She could handle a half hour though. And sorry for the fever! Poor G. I'm glad he's responding to medicine.

Well the past few weeks have been pretty terrible and stressful work wise, but hopefully things lighten up after today. It would be nice to be able to take a break and not need to log on and do work in the evenings, and I have been so very cranky with DH which I blame on a combination of work stress and AF.
DH and I were talking about starting ttc but with the recent changes at my job now I'm not sure if I want to stay here or look for something else. I've got one promising lead but I've only been here 7 months so... I have no idea what I want to do. And if I stay and we had a baby next year I'd have 12 weeks fully paid leave. It is annoying that you really can't ask about maternity benefits when you are interviewing, but a new job would mean we would definitely need to put any ttc plans on hold for while.
kartish ugh, sorry for early wake up lilyelayne that's a pretty high temp. Hope he gets better soon! dmorgendorffer I hope work gets better for you or you have the courage to leave if that's what you want. I can see how that'd be a tough decision when TFAS. I stayed at my job until I had a second (free hospital stays plus benefit time I saved up).
Not much going on here! I'm taking girls to N's swim class tonight. That's about it.

Looking at swim classes for DS. So many are multiple days a week and I just want a weekend class since he needs to eat dinner in the evening and has a fairly early bedtime.
Debating on extending our Amazon prime once the free trial is over. Haven't checked out the video section since we have Netflix. Need to price compare a diaper subscription so I don't go to target and buy out the store every time.

G's temp hasn't been nearly so high today, thankfully, but trying to put him down for a nap was a bit of a disaster. He's sleeping now so FX he stays that way.
dmorgendorffer that's a tough spot. Can you ask for a copy of the employee handbook or something in an interview? Spin it like you want to make sure you're a good fit for the culture or something? The couple places I've worked with employee handbooks included the leave policy in there.

If you live near a Bear Paddle, I know they have weekend classes. I think they are only in the Midwest right now though...

My friend who had the baby shower a couple weeks ago ended up having an emergency c-section last night due to preeclampsia, 7 weeks early. So far they are doing ok but when I last spoke to her she hadn't been able to go to the nicu to visit the baby yet. 😕
Oh gosh dmorgendorffer. Pre eclampsia is so flipping scary. I hope momma and baby continue to recover well and she gets to see her little fighter very very soon.
