ampaints, I feel better than earlier. I need to not stress about and bring it upon myself...I think a lot of mine is mental. I over stress about insurance and missing work atm.
I currently don't have our new insurance info yet and the kids haven't been approved although all of the paperwork was turned in a month ago. It's frustrating.
joi922 how's the new computer? Is it new, newish, another piece if shit? I'm pretty invested in your computer!
It's a thing of beauty. Everything is brand spanking new! The computer itself is smaller than my old one, which is nice since I have to cart it around a lot, but has a lot more memory. My phone had more memory than my old computer. Most importantly: it did not take 58 minutes to load my email like my old one did this morning! I kind of forgot what being productive could be like.

ampaints the rest of our visit was great, and thankfully no more real awkward conversations, but last night both my mom and my friend (at different times) asked me about bucket list trips, which led my friend to talk about all the traveling she has done (which has been extensive) , and I was like 'oh fuck here we go again ', but thankfully it was fine. I will be honest that shit makes me so angry and both my friend and mom (and basically anyone who knows me) knows and understands I don't tolerate that kind of thinking. Unfortunately my openness and understanding of acceptance does not always transfer to those around me. My BFF and I have conversations All the time (usually me pointing out her language that is in fact isolating and comes off as racist). My mom's partner has many bias and I think dumbs her down sometimes. Basically it's fear for my mom of unknown. The merry Christmas BS I believe stems from idiotic social media memes. I could rant over this forever. DH and I discuss the frustration of remarks that some people make all the time. He feels you can't change an old 'dog' and I take it all like my personal mission to open minds! Lol!

Aaaaaargh... just got a cryptic call from our HR department that seems to indicate that t's likely I'll have to replace one of our fall faculty for a critical theory class. Classes start September 6th. What's a semester without some last minute scrambling, right?
I was given a course one week before classes started. It was brutal. Hopefully there is someone nice enough to share their material with you to get started!

This week has been insane. DS started daycare and I spent a few days at work getting ready for the semester to start. My maternity leave ends Monday so I'll be back to work full time then and I really hope DS adjusts quickly! If tue first few days are any indication, this will not happen

RandomName so sorry the first couple of days at DC haven't gone well. Hopefully next week will go easier. I will be heading back to work after labour day, and I'm dreading it We are officially starting visits next week with home childcare provider.

I feel like I haven't been on here all week, what have I missed? Must go back and catch up on all the things.
Work and life are crazy busy right now and A turns one in 12 days, eek. We're in the midst of several changes which really make me feel like she's no longer a baby:
-We stopped the pacifier this week (she was only using them for naps, but began to ask for them at night too so I felt like she was starting to associate and put them all away). She adjusted much quicker than I thought.
-Working on losing the bottles now. My goal is to be done with bottles by the time she turns one although I feel like there are just as many parts to wash with these dang straw cups.
-Only 1 more week of full time pumping left! Then I'm gonna start to wean during the day and introduce WCM while she's at daycare.
That's all I've got...off to catch up now since most of ya'll are sleeping.
H leaves today. He is still sick. He is gone until next Friday. I am dreading these up coming days.
How are you feeling today? And the kids? If everyone is feeling OK, then it's probably best H will be away because sick, and you won't have to deal with a 3rd child.
I'm so happy it's Friday. We are going into Brooklyn tomorrow night to celebrate a friend's birthday. He said around 9ish which really means 10/11ish so we are going in earlier to have dinner. It's more than an hour commute for us so we won't be home until like 4am most likely. Not looking forward to that.

4 am? No way Jose. #icanthang
I'm a little nervous myself. I know I can manage with 1-2am. But it's h's best friend and he is turning 30, so there really is no backing out.
@betweenthelines, I feel good and the kids are fine. H on the other hand doesn't. As soon as the Tylenol wears off his temp jumps up. And he has do much physical labor ahead of him.

I hope your visits go well. Are you doing 1/2 days or visits with you there too?
Have fun @betweenthelines! I hope your mom is watching them til like 2pm the next day!!
That's the thing. We felt bad asking my mom because she watched them last weekend until like midnight when we went on our dinner and movie date. So h asked MIL. And with mil, comes FIL (it's weird). So I have a feeling I'll be dealing with some serious grandma and grandpa hangovers from the kids in Sunday.
And let's be honest, I'll probably still be drunk. Jk. Kinda.
4am makes me want to cry. I'm so much more likely to see 4 am as an early start than a late night. I'm feeling super old. I used to go out and be up until 4 am on the regular...

Same here. If my kids weren't great sleepers I definitely would not be participating. But I know they'll sleep until 8ish and then 12p-3p nap time, so I just have to power through.
I don't know how I'm doing honestly. Super busy, dealing with major insomnia (max a couple hours of sleep a night), and also trying to figure out W's birthday stuff/house stuff. I had a great dinner out with my old boss last night though (got home at 11) and I'm going to a movie with you tonight so all of that should help counteract the stress.
ampaints, Hi! We are doing well. I'm on a contract that ends Oct. 1st at my job but the full time girl just got a job in a different city so there are talks that I might be able to get her job. She has more experience than me and it would be a big jump but the girl has told the bosses that she thought I would/could handle it! FX!
E had her 1 year old shots yesterday. She took them like a champ! She got 3 and two were the kind that stings when the vaccine actually goes in. The Dr. offered to split them but between now and her 15 month appt but we decided to just get it over with. She cried for a couple of seconds after each of them but once she got her pacifier (and my car keys) she was fine!
