Do any of you working moms get the day off? Dh is a teacher so he will be off today yay! I have to go to the dentist though.
We've been up for about an hour now I'm 99.9% sure Ry has pink eye (can the poor kid catch a freaking break??) I'm squirting all the breastmilk in it and praying it helps ... it's been so expensive going to the pediatrician and ENT the last month 😔
I'm off! DH works, and DC is open, so I'm going to relax. I have a massage scheduled. It will help make up for the wake ups I've had at 9, 9:30, 10, 10:45, 11:40, 12:30, 1:45, and now 3 am.
DD finally succumbed to the sickness that's been going around our house and having a really rough time... most of the wakeups were her.

I am off, kind of. Spending the day with DD while DS is at daycare since DS and are going on another work trip. We leave late this afternoon, this the reasoning behind kind of off since I have to drive.
We don't have the day off. Part of me wishes we did. The other part of me does not. It was a rough weekend and I'm hormonal and snappy this morning lol ETA not really a rough weekend. Just seemed to be long but not in a good way. And A was very needy and their naps ended up being exactly opposite both days so it was impossible to get any of the weekend chores done. Plus I feel like I didn't get any quality time with either kid because I was trying (and failing) to get things done. Hence the bad mood this morning, because weekdays are crazy and no quality time happens or household tasks get accomplished through the week.

Definitely have a stomach bug.
I want to be positive about my birthday but honestly it's always a bit of a downer. I started the day with DD peeing on the floor then pooping in her panties. I cried as I sat at the table eating cake by myself because I felt incredibly lonely. And then I spent most of the night puking said cake back up.
H has the day off. Naps have been a hot mess since h has had Friday through today off and DS won't nap when he's here (at least not well).
Despite that nights have been much better since moving up DSs bed time. However I feel more tired and I can't decide if I had just acclimated to less sleep or if i am staying up "later" now that DS is sleeping and I want to have some me time lol
I'm sorry your birthday was a mess gahorseygal. I think you should get a do over next weekend once the stomach bug is gone.
No day off here. Part of me is kind of appalled that we still celebrate Columbus Day. He didn't really discover squat and was by all accounts a terrible human being. I wouldn't say no to a day off though. My principles aren't that inflexible.

I don't have the day off, exactly, but until more babies are delivered I'm at home! So I sent H to my MILs this morning at 7 with DH and I'm still in bed!
R is on a hunger strike and I don't know what to do to get her to eat. I did manage to get her to eat a little bit while she was asleep, but as soon as she woke up she was screaming at my boob again. I don't know what to do and it's seriously wearing on me. I feel so bad. It doesn't help that I'm completely exhausted because she kept crying all night. Like, she wouldn't even always wake up, she would just be crying and had to be rocked back to sleep. I'm so tired and I just feel like I can't deal with this today.

I'm losing a ton of hair. My hair has never been this thin before. It's awful. I don't know what to do about it, but it sucks.

I'm sorry. H has started doing this some too. It's like he doesn't know what he wants when he screams on the breast. Ugh. It's pretty rejecting feeling. (That may be dumb, idk).
I'm sorry R is crying in her sleep and not letting you get any rest!

This kid is going to be the death of me. I finally got her to eat and now she's skipping her nap. WHY?!?! Doesn't she know how much I need that hour to rest?! Ugh. Well, at least H stayed home today so I have some help.

I have dealt with this and cried and cried. It sucks so much! It always passes so far but it's just exhausting. I'm sorry!

DH is off today, so we're having a nice easy time. Morning hike earlier, then I'm going to do some tie dye with DS1 when he gets up. And then maybe fishing tonight.
