Woke up pre-dawn and have been going nonstop since. DS has come down with the boy cold (younger version of the man cold). Temp was only 98.7 and he wolfed down breakfast, so off to school he went! No time for the "but I feel like I'm dyyyyiiiiiinnnnnngggg!" nonsense today, kiddo!
Took DD for a playdate at the park...I love that we can walk to it and the playground is really cute. I'm running a bunch of errands now. Our new couch is supposed to be delivered today between 12 & 4 so I've gotta hurry if I want to get everything done to be home in time.

ampaints, I hope that fever goes down!! gingerygirl, I am so happy for you that you got sole custody. You must be so relieved. abvintage, I'm sorry about your mom, it really really sucks.
tmclawchick, I misread and definitely thought you were saying your couch broke down. Ha, I was thinking that that would be terrible! Hopefully you get the couch soon though.
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.
please don't mind my curiosity, but have you thought about last names. I was never married to Dds "father" and changed her name to match mine before she turned 2. So that's all she ever knew.

I've been thinking about that. I'm for sure changing my name back, it will be part of the divorce decree, but I'm having a hard time deciding on Jack, if I "should" or not.

chris sounds a lot like my dirtbag, and i figured it would be easier on dd to share the name of her legitimate parent and not and estranged one. Plus i hated his last name so it was all tye easier decision to make.
I was sitting, doing some academic reading on the children's level in the library while my sister was roaming around the stacks with C. We were waiting for the sing along to start. The librarian just thought I was a creeper because I didn't have a child with me. On one hand im glad they are looking out for creepers but on the other hand I'm Embarrassed the creeper was me.
abvintage, sorry about your moms health. Having a sick parent really sucks.
Drinking g a glass of malbec, at the bar of fancy restaurant, by myself. I'm in heaven
Can't wait to sit down with hood friends and eat though!! And 1 just announced she's pregnant!! I am so happy for her. She has some problems with conceiving so this is awesome news!!
ampaints, the librarian asked if I was there with a child. I told her I was but that she was with her nanny and then I felt like even a more giant a-hole. It was awkward for everybody.
@janetheconquerer, congrats to your friend! I got dinner tonight with a friend who is finally pregnant through IVF and she is just so happy and excited. It was so fun to see her and share her joy.
H is cooking chicken picata. M is sleeping although he's somewhat fitful. I'm watching Project Runway Allstars reruns and I'll get to watch the guest episode of the new season tomorrow. I'm calling tonight a win.
shellyr yeah for your friend! I love hearing IF success stories.

After about 2 months of working 60+ hour weeks, DH got home ON TIME tonight! High five! He handled bathtime and read with DS while I relaxed. Ah-mazing. So glad he's back to regular hours, I needed a break.
ampaints chicken piccata is one of my favorite meals. That's totally going on next week's menu! Enjoy!

Just got home from a friend's house who was hosting a norwex party. I'm glad I went because it ended up only being me and 2 other people. I felt bad for her. TBH the whole thing was a bit uncomfortable. She has 3 young boys who are wild, and her and her H are not in a good place at all. I think she is drinking a lot these days. It's really sad to see. FFTC it makes me happy to be in the marriage I am in. I know some days I feel grumpy towards DH, but I love him so much! (on a side note DH has planned some sort of outting for my birthday this weekend and really trying to keep it a surprise, but my stupid friends keep ruining it!! 2 people have made reference to it and I've had to tell them that DH is trying to make it a surprise and I don't know anything about it) .
Now I'm home with a glass of red and some pear cobbler I made last night. Yummy!

TGIF!
Heading to Costco today, my fridge and cupboards are nearly empty, lol. Hoping they have winter pajamas out for kids, cause mine need some. It's been in the 50s here in the night/mornings.
My Fitbit stopped syncing and the bracelet part is breaking. I emailed their customer service and they're sending a new one! Yay!!
I think I'm going to try chia pudding as a healthy dessert or breakfast. Anyone have good recipes? Trying so hard to make healthy choices and lose weight. It sucks. I gained weight after DD was born, when I went on the Depo shot and I'm still struggling to lose it.
When you wake up late and your husband says oh by the way I didn't make coffee as you are getting ready to walk out the door and then are later than normal leaving daycare and have 10 minutes to get to work...you drive 10 minutes out of your way to grab coffee and a donut and end up late to work. #priorities.

DS was starting to come down with a cold yesterday, but he didn't have a fever so I sent him to school. He didn't want to go to karate last night and spent most of the evening on the couch (totally unlike him). This morning he was up at 6:15 and I checked his temp... 99.7... so I said if he wanted to stay home he could. By 7AM he was running around like a monkey, playing and making all sorts of noise. Checked his temp again and it was 99.3 (with no meds)... soooooo he's at school, but I told him to let his teacher know if he starts feeling crummy.
DD is napping now and then we're going shopping. I have a BOGO coupon for Yankee Candle, but you have to redeem it in store (weak). So we're heading to the mall for a bit then maybe grabbing lunch while we're out. Our couch is coming between 2 and 6, hooray!
