M fought naps like a champ today. He asleep on the way home from lunch with W and packmomma. Normally he wakes up some when I get him out of the car, but falls right back asleep when I put him in his crib. Except today. Fought the good fight and finally went to sleep at 2. I was hoping to hit up Target or Kohls on the way to the in laws for dinner tonight because I desperately need more shirts that actually look decent on me. Looks like that won't be happening today.
I no longer sanitize. I did all bottle and pump parts before she was born, and then maybe once or twice since. So there's that...
We finally found a new office space! And we move in 2 weeks. We need new phones, new phone lines, new internet, transfer our cable, new insurance, new furniture, find movers, etc. I'm not gonna be busy at all this month.

Need to catch up! Was traveling today— in Nashville through the weekend. MH is at a design conference and Poppy and I are tagging along. Never been here before so if you have any recs, please pass them along!
elizabethnevadap, glad to hear you are recovering— you're a strong lady! It must feel so good to hold J again.
I'm the worst at sanitizing. Or even just washing stuff off. A few days ago, we were out with my mom and eating lunch outside. P was using her straw cup and a fly landed on the straw part that goes in the mouth. My mom immediately took the cup and said something to the effect of "Oh, we need to wash that now before you can use it again." Uh- what? I did have a baking soda wipe on hand, so I rubbed the tip with that and handed it back. But that thing has dropped on a Brooklyn sidewalk before and I've given it back without so much as a wipe.

Ok haven't been on all day but GUYS I HAVE SOLE CUSTODY OF JACKSON! Chris didn't even show up and so the judge was like "well, hes not here so you get custody." No court ordered visitation so it is at my discretion.
I'm so behind here that I'm not sure I can catch up, but I do want to say tuscanlatte I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she'll have the best outcome possible. I know what it's like to get that news and it sucks.
We took the kids to an outdoor concert tonight. It was wonderful classical music followed by fireworks. This was my kids' first time seeing fireworks, so it was fun to watch them experience it.
We were out way past bedtime though, so DS had a huge exhaustion meltdown when we got home. I felt bad for him, he just couldn't stop crying and anything and everything. They all got to bed really late and I'm hoping and praying that everyone sleeps in tomorrow morning!
th3stryck3r Nashville is still 3.5 hours north, but that's a manageable trip to me. Especially if it's a leave early and come back later when M should be sleeping. I hope you guys have a wonderful time exploring.

I've been trying to keep up, but this working full time is really cutting into my social time! Ha! M is doing really well with his transitioning, but I miss having my time with him. Sigh. Such is life. Tomorrow I am taking the afternoon off for some me time (hair done, nails done, everything done done). My manager has convinced me not to go into the office in the morning! So I will be working from home, catching up on so much I have missed. Come next Friday I think I will be dead, as it will be my first full week of work then! Work has also agreed to send us for a leadership certificate training and the first workshops are next week. I'm pretty excited!

tuscanlatte sorry about your mom. That is tough. Sending all the positive thoughts to you and your family. Also I think it's good news that the stuff is coming to a head with your co-worker (even though it is uncomfortable)

Great news, gingerygirl. How often did he see J prior to this? Do you think he's going to be difficult with trying to see him?
He's seen him twice since I left him. Not because I didn't give him the opportunity, but because he kept cancelling plans. I still plan on giving him chances to see jack, but I forsee it being just like it has been. Lots of flaking out. And if that continues, then I won't continue to try.

I have no patience for my daughter today. I feel bad, but I have had no sleep plus no breaks for 3 weeks. I have nothing left to give, and she wants soooooo much attention. My husband has been working overnight shift and about 80 hours a week, so he can't really help, and our families are not nearby. He has this weekend off, so I'm really hoping I can recharge!
I think I pulled a muscle rolling my eyes at my husband yesterday. He was moaning after each sneeze and told me he didn't have the "stamina" to check his bank account online, even though he was prefectly capable of playing games on his phone. JFC.
One of my coworkers completely flaked on giving a presentation I helped organize. It was for our biggest client. I know I need to talk to her supervisor about it, but I'm not looking forward to it.
mommabakes, I totally get what you're saying about your older LO pushing you over the edge. It's been happening here too, but I at least get a break when H gets home. I'm sorry, I hope you get a break and/or sleep soon.
I'm gonna be real honest. I have not read a damn thing. This week has been nuts. My Mom is going through some health stuff and there are some developments on that front, my charity group really got into full swing this week, I've gotten nothing done for work like all week. Done. So done with this week. I'm going to try to catch up tomorrow.
