Hey ampaints, you can up your daily step goal now!! I expect you to hit it everyday now!!
I actually had that thought earlier. I'll do it Saturday, I'll enjoy the low goal one more day.
From my previous experience, I learned during dark times, you need to grasp the bright moments, no matter how small. Be lazy for a few days and enjoy it. But be the change you want to make!!! Up that step goal, take more walks, spend more time with M, study hard, and get quality time in with your H. Do all this while finding that next great job. You can do this!!!
Yeah we rescheduled for Sunday but I am afraid she is too big to move around enough at this point
Stay positive! I hope you get the picture!!!
I am!! A little sad right now but DH is taking me to dinner so I'm sure I'll feel better after that. She was moving around some & then the lady had me bounce on an exercise ball.. after that, she was asleep and didn't move around at all. I guess Sunday I'll have ice cream or coffee before we go.

My iphone is plugged into the charger but losing its charge. Noooooooo... I know the charger is fine because DH was just using it on his phone. I've been having battery issues for awhile :\
ampaints, its a horrible feeling to be fired, even at a job you hate. I hope this is the beginning of something really great for you. You deserve better. @janetheconquerer, fx for no pukaramma this weekend
amberlie, love the name! Fx H cooperates for a picture.
ampaints, sorry about the job. Screw them, go be your awesome self in a better job.
shellyr glad you were able to get a bunch of work done, I hope it continues tomorrow!
@janetheconquerer hoping for no more vomit!
Today sucks, moving sucks and I'm so frustrated right now I just cried in the shower. I'm trying to type up what I'm feeling, and then approach my boss once we're completely settled in the new place and I'm feeling less emotional. Just feeling under appreciated and overlooked and overworked andplusalso emotional since I've basically had to finish weaning to make this office move work as I've been working 12-14 hour days. So many feels.
Also my aunt posted an article on FB this morning that was really racist and hurtful. I had no idea she felt this way and now I feel uncomfortable bringing my daughter and H around her over the holidays (I only see her once a year at Christmas since we live so far away). It really sucks that things like this are something A will have to deal with her whole life. I just want to wrap her in a bubble and protect her. On the other hand, I want to prepare her for real life so she's not blindsided. I just feel like it's a fine line.
amberlie, had not heard about but I just did a Google search. It seems there have been clown sightings and reports in several states but that the reports might be hoaxes? I don't really get it but I sure as hell don't like clowns at baseline.
ars093s, I'm sorry for the racist, nasty article. Is it something you can challenge or is it not worth the energy with this particular person. Hugs to you on all accounts (weaning included).
Thanks shellyr. I think it would just cause drama to call her out on it and I'm emotionally spent at the moment so I'm going to take the hide it from my feed and ignore for now tactic. Just need to work on the ignore/forget part, haha.
ampaints, I'm so sorry about the job, but also excited for you to find something new that you like better. It's too easy to stay at a job you hate. You deserve to be happy. I hope something new comes along quickly. In the meantime, enjoy all those baby snuggles!
shellyr Good job on the manuscript! I hope tomorrow is also productive.
amberlie, Sorry the ultrasound was disappointing. Hopefully baby will cooperate on Sunday. I used to eat skittles before NST's with my twins at the end so I would guarantee some movement!
ars093s, That totally sucks about your aunt. I'm so sorry. It must have been really hard for you to read that. I can totally understand you not feeling comfortable around her now. I'm also sorry you've had such a rough few days with your office move. It sounds so draining, and I don't blame you for having all the feels related to weaning! Sending hugs your way. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
Baby girl was full on belly laughing at bedtime tonight. She is super ticklish under her armpits, under her chin, and on the bottom of her feet. It's the best.
ars093s I'm sorry about all of the stressful things you're dealing with. And about your aunt. I know that must be heartbreaking to find out a family member feels that way, especially when those hateful opinions apply to those you love most. MH's aunt and uncle are quite racist. I've engaged them in various conversations when calling out racist fb posts but it never made any impression so I ended up unfollowing. I feel awkward when seeing them and knowing what they think, so I can imagine it would be much worse for you, your DH, and A. Hugs.
shellyr I really don't understand the motivation. I'm sure some of the stories are made up but I can't imagine why anyone would walk around in a clown suit. It sounds like an easy way to get yourself hurt by people who don't think it's a funny joke.

DH is taking today off to wrap up over at the apartment. I've done all I can do but there are some heavy things he needs to handle. This means he's also dropping DS off at school since it's right down the road, so I get to spend the morning bumming around in my pajamas.
amberlie w was notorious for showing us everything but his face. Do you get a redo? Eta: I see this has been asked and answered. Good luck Sunday. Oj and a donut always got w moving.

Sounds like we all need a redo.
packmomma, he's finger wasn't broken. I'm super annoyed at DH about not following up about the health insurance thing. He was all freaking out about it and all I kept thinking was "if you had only listened to me..."
DS1 then promptly fell down our outside stairs this morning. Kid can't catch a break. DH was with him so I'm trying to get details but it sounds like he just got some scraps on his hand.
I'm home from work with a kid who can't go to daycare til he's fever free for 24 hours. His temp is 99.1 and he's clapping, laughing, toddling everywhere, waving and giving me hugs and kisses.
amberlie weren't there clowns abducting/luring children into woods a couple months ago. It was on parenting and the news. I didn't read it because 1)it wasn't in my area 2) clowns are weird and I don't want to be even more creeped out by them. Eta: omg what did my fungers even type? Also now my phone ac fingers to fungers

DH and I are taking the kids to the beach about an hour and a half away. We were supposed to go for a whole week but with DH's new job, we settled for just the weekend. We are going with the inlaws who are letting up use part of their time share.
I don't want to go. I'm not looking forward to it. There are a million things that need to be done around the house including grocery shopping and prepping for a yard sale in a couple of weeks. It's only for one night but we still need to bring like half the house because baby stuff. And it's supposed to freaking rain all weekend. DH mentioned to DS1 that we were going to the beach and he's stoked. So now I feel like we can back out...
Oh and DH has a gig tonight so he's useless in helping getting stuff done and together tonight. I asked when check in time was and he said we would just get up and go. He's so relaxed about things which is what I love about him but sometimes a little planning would go a long way.
Did I tell you when we got to the beach last weekend. We weren't going to get there until 8:30pm. I grab his phone and notice there are two missed calls. He calls it back. Turns out they are from the hotel but no one is picking up. Then he mentions, oh, yeah. The office is only open until 8pm. Don't worry. We'll figure it out. I mean, the hotel just taped our key to the office door so whatever. I pointed out later in the night how we were so different. If it had been me, I would have already contacted the office about us arriving late and had figured out a plan way before we left.
