Sleepy Friday Randoms

[teraiin]

Is everyone sleeping?

[aaemommy]

Nope! Pumping at work.
My principal just said something really funny to me. At least I choose to think of it as funny. If not, I may cry. She said I have a beautiful voice and she didn't realize I had a good voice until she came into my class to observe me the other day.


I teach music.

😳

Sleepy here! I am looking forward to some coffee. It's nice and cool this AM finally!!! (Like 65 degrees lol). DD and I are going for a walk.

Once a patron at the library was shocked I was a certified teacher because I "just didn't seem that smart" you have to laugh and save your tears for more important things hahahaha

I thawed out a bag of frozen milk only to have it all pour out of a rip in the bag. DH admitted he dropped a bag on be garage floor when rearranging stuff but didn't think it would matter 😩 It was 4oz

Tomorrow is his cousins wedding. Company arrives by noon. Wedding at 3. Reception at 5. Sunday we are celebrating SILs birthday.

This is his last week of 3 day weekends until next spring/summer it will be nice that he won't have to work as long of hours but we will miss the long weekends!

definitely not.

Daycare drop off this morning:
Teacher: How'd she sleep last night?
Me: not at all
T: Let me ask you, do you think maybe she could be hungry???
Me: ::shakes fist::

I leave DD with 16 ounces for a 10 hour day. They're insistent that my very chubby baby is starving.

I sort of want to throat punch them on your behalf.

W has been up every hour, every night, since Monday. I'm beyond exhausted. Honestly, with as many new skills she has, I'm sure that is why she is waking up so much.,,,. But come on!

Can I take a second to brag about W though? She is such a big girl! She is sitting up unassisted, eating like a champ (she loves all the food) and she even mashes the food in a chewing fashion. She can also hold herself up off the floor on hands and knees, not crawling yet, thank GOD! Here is a pic of her sitting up like a big girl!

[teraiin]

That's so awesome o2girl! She's so beautiful too 😄❤️

I really don't like people. I had a random stranger tell me the other day that since my baby wasn't sleeping through the night that I should just let her CIO....... Mind you the woman was old enough to be my mother and I only mention that because it is something my own mother would tell me if I let her.... That and I'm spoiling my baby by holding her too much, blah blah blah.

Time to get that onesie for the babies that says "my mommy doesn't want your advice"

That stuff drives me nuts too!

I sort of want to hang a sign that says "no he isn't sleeping through the night and no I don't want to know your thoughts on why"

[babycaps]

Last night was the first time he only woke up at 2am and then 630am!!! I feel like a new woman. I'm sure it's a fluke.

I'll punch them also!

[westiemom]

teraiin 😭

@aeroplaneoverthesea wtf to the daycare lady! I'm ready to go beat her down for you too!

o2girl beautiful!!!!! I wish Olivia would sit up! We have pics in a week and I wanted some of her sitting but it's a no go.

My throat is killing me. It hurts to swallow, it hurts to BREATHE. Ugh. I don't know what to do. I haven't had a sore throat like this since high school. What do you do for sore throats?

I usually do tea with honey.

And then start using zicam spray (not sure if it actually works or is jsut a placebo) I also dunno what's in it or if it's bfing safe lol

[teraiin]

Also feel better @led!

[babycaps]

Feel better @led!!! Tea w honey. Lots of honey!!

[fishbulb]

Definitely not sleeping here. While DD sleeps ok at night she has decided that 5:30 is her new wake up time, which wakes DS up too. This is a full hour before we have to get up. I can only go to sleep so early since there are always bottles to wash and lunches to make. I am tired.

aaemommy, my mom taught elementary music for 20+ years and she has a terrible singing voice. The best was when a kindergartner asked her is she was having "A bad singing day".

@led, I start with a salt water gargle and the cough drops that are basically candy. If you have a flashlight handy you can check your throat for white spots if you suspect strep.

[k3am]

@led, if your glands are swollen, it hurts that badly to swallow, you may have strep. Check for white spots on your throat.

[k3am]

My clients all hate me basically. I mean.. I've had TWO of them caught committing fraud since I've been back, they're all in default, and sometimes I just want to cry cry cry. It's so much extra work and the least favorite part of my job. I miss new business.

Both kids are sleeping like crap lately. Which means I'm sleeping like crap lately. I've been relying on DH to get DS out of bed to feed him, but that makes DH useless. So basically, we're all useless.

[k3am]

I ordered DD tap shoes from Amazon.. they were supposed to be delivered on Thursday. True to fashion lately.. they weren't. Now it's updated for Monday. Which doesn't help much for her Saturday class.

FX that customer support can help. DNW to lug both kids to the store tonight to track down tap shoes. Or face DD's disappointment when she has to go to class without tap shoes like everyone.

I second tea with honey. Also, threat losanges but you'd have to check to see what's BF safe. Hot rag on your neck sometimes helps too. Sorry girl! Feel better soon!

Wow! That's awful. Amazon is dropping the ball here a lot lately too.

[k3am]

They're going to expedite her another pair for free. Which have a "high probability" of getting here before her class.

[westiemom]

DD is taking an epic nap. Her morning naps have sucked lately. I'm glad to get things done.

Since we know we are moving start of the year, I'm trying to come up with a system to start cleaning things out. Any suggestions? When should I start packing stuff up? I'm assuming it's too early... I just feel like I should take advantage of time now because I know DD will only get more challenging with age, right?!

[twocents6708]

fishbulb, we are living the same life right now. DS is up at 5:30 every day this week, and I usually don't get up until 5:45 but use that time without kids awake to get myself ready.
It's a lot trickier with one and then sometimes both of them up!

@led, I agree with k3am that it might be strep. The only time my throat has had that extreme level of discomfort is when I have had strep.

[k3am]

Remember how I bragged about having an ENTIRE duplicate set of pump parts at work? Well, I have 4 bottles, 2 connectors, all 3 sizes of pumpin pals, and zero valves..
