I've pretty much been up since 2. My mood is reflecting it. B has decided to be a foul-tempered heathen since she also didn't sleep well and DH left at 4:30 for LA. God help me.
I think she cut a tooth. She woke up screaming. Attempts to settle her were mostly unsuccessful. She's flicking her tongue around her teeth, hence my theory.
My cleaning lady is coming today, which is my bright spot. At least I'll have a clean house

I'm having a really difficult time getting up today. I got Doug to day care and then came home and tried to nap. I dozed but that was it. I've been feeling super tired lately so I thought my body would take advantage but nope.
Dan's out of town for the rest of the week. This will be the longest I've been solo with Doug. Fortunately I've gotten better at coming up with stuff for us to do. He's been completely bored at the house lately so I've been coming up with stuff for us to do around town.
Not much going on here. It's DH's birthday so I shoveled the walkway this morning so he wouldn't have to, and he'll get a birthday BJ tonight, but that's really it. He's so grumpy about birthdays and getting older, so now I end up dreading his birthday too. He's no fun.
We've got to truly start baby-proofing our kitchen now, because we're chasing after C every time he slips in there. Which is about once every 5 minutes or so. If he can't get in the cabinets, he'll either get bored and stop running in there, or at least we won't have to worry about him hurting himself.
And he finally has all 8 of his front teeth in - does that mean we have to start worrying about the bad ones? DNW.
We are doing well, thanks for asking! She slept a little better last nice with not nearly as many wakeups. She was able to hold off on her kick n play piano recital until 6am this morning, so that is a big improvement over yesterday's at 4:45. I had it out this morning with MH AGAIN. Apparently he can't tell the difference between tights and pants and newborn vs. 12 month old socks. I'm supposed to drop everything and clear out her drawers, you know, between the time I'm at work and taking care of Cadence, rather than him just not being stupid and paying attention to size differences. Whatever. It wasn't what I needed this morning, but Cadence was my comic relief. I told him to just leave the room and as he walked out she laughed and yelled, "bye bye!"
I hope Mara doesn't have another ear infection and I hope yours clears up quickly!!

Hope the sicklings feel better! I feel like crud, but I'd rather me have a cold than J, so sucking it up.
Cherhorowitz I finally watched the John Stewart measles report and it's so so good. Maybe he can take over for Brian Williams? He actually does the best investigative reporting, but I am so sad about Brian - he's been my favorite and I watch him every night.
Also, don't want to jinx it, but Ferber may work. Getting the book really helped me get on board. Granted we were getting desperate.

I had everyone tagged to wish them well but ended up in a work-emergency and lost my draft of my post.
To sum it up, wishing all the sick mommy's and LO's are feeling better and everyone gets some rest.
Work is a little crazy today everyone is waiting for me to provide some numbers and I'm just waiting for my boss to get out of a meeting to ask him a question so I can provide said numbers. Fun. I hate working under the gun.
Other than that Emily got her play kitchen yesterday and loves it. She played with it all night. And I'm trying to figure out what to do for Valentines for DC. I think I have my idea down but have to throw it together before Thursday.

@mothereffer so sorry to hear about si. How are YOU feeling? Did you drink your emergen-c ?
Autumn slept in today! So I feel pretty great. I have to go to the farmers market and whole foods. Tonight we're getting our taxes done, I have big plans for all the moneys we are going to get.
Anyone been to the Dominican Republic in August? My cousin is having his destination wedding on a resort and it looks amazing.

Dudes! My dump account has FINALLY been deleted! Goodness gracious, I don't know why it took that long.
Also my get up and go today is still gone. I'm thinking starbucks and a pedicure and maybe second attempt at a nap. Or I should force myself to clean the house. Blah.

JoeLies, I talked to Dan last night about our moving in together. The way I see it, we'd then be a three person income family, with two kids, and me to stay home and watch them. This only works out for our mutual benefit. He was still skeptical. Boys just don't understand. Commune for life.
@mothereffer, will the augmentin prevent croup? Also I love your new avatar. #MEK4evah!
@mx2 You know if you need help you call or text me right? Because I am dead serious.
Cherhorowitz, Sorry little dude isn't feeling well. Sending healthy thoughts.

Hi.
DH is at home finishing up the dreaded to-do list (last minute Pintrest projects, install carseats and something about needing things from Home Depot, its all good). H is at the babysitters where it appears she is not feeling well and I'm at work until 3 when we take H to in for her 15 month check-up.
I'm still pregnant, despite my best efforts last night which included an hour on the birthing ball, sex and 45 minutes on the treadmill (while watching the Bachelor, holy hot mess I love this show. Never watched before, but HELL-O crazy town).
I hope all the sick babies (and moms) feel better soon and the snow melts quickly for everyone.
Haven't read yet today, except for the first few entries. I'm so sorry that C is having a hard time, @mx2. I hope she feels better soon.
My cleaning lady is also coming today. We been on a modified schedule because of the Monday snows. Yay for clean sheets! It's my favorite sleep of the week.
Josie outgrew her size 12 sleepers literally overnight. She's just getting so long and lean. I'm going to do some online shopping when she takes her nap. I'm guessing Carter's, but The Gap has nice one pieces that I like to put her to sleep in, as well.
I may start the whole 30 this weekend. I wasn't planning on it because of the pregnancy, but now that things have changed, I might be ready for it. I think it's just going to take a lot of planning. I may try to map out somewhere between 20 and 30 dinners and a bunch of different options for lunch and breakfast.

We went on our honeymoon in February. It was in the mid 80s the entire time. I don't think my hair could take the Caribbean humidity in August .

So the guy in the cube in front of me has his cell phone go off sometimes when he forgets to turn the ringer off. It's always a rap song that's completely inappropriate for work. He gets super embarrassed and turns it off really quick. We all act like we didn't hear it. Why don't you just not have that as your ring tone? It would cover all your bases.
How much do the DHs of N13 eat? I made a pork tenderloin last night. I had two slices and DH had the rest. I discovered this when I went to heat it up for my lunch and it was gone.
I feel like an entire tenderloin should maybe last through more than one meal, but I grew up in a house without a single male in it, so I could be completely off base.

finnaroo I feel like Dan eats a huge amount. I'm pretty sure we had the exact same thing happen more often than not. I've been trying to add more sides that are healthy because we are supposed to be watching our weight! Then he's just hungry later and snacks on really unhealthy things.
Post by klongoria11 on Feb 10, 2015 12:20:12 GMT -5
finnaroo MH ate almost an entire pot roast last night and for today's lunch, complete with carrots, potatoes and celery...minus one serving which was mine and Cadence's combined. The man can eat.
Mucinex is making me feel floaty. Not super great for work, I wish I were laying down right now.
I have a new boss at work. I haven't met him yet, but I found out yesterday who it is. My manager announced last month she was moving to a different position, I feel a little relieved I know who the replacement is now. I will meet this person tomorrow and I hope he is good. Change always makes me nervous.
kellykinns DH will eat an entire loaf of bread as a snack. We have stuff to snack on and it's not whole loaves of bread. Or he'll eat a whole bag of tortilla chips and not even open the salsa.
Obviously, I'm not going to tell him to eat less if he's hungry, but dude, don't leave me high and dry either. I meal plan for a reason.
