Omg, I feel human again!! Today is why I never let loose anymore. Man, last night was a blast, we had an awesome dinner watched the cubs danced ran into the ocean in our clothes at midnight and had a great time....but nothing is worth feeling like death...back to responsible mommy! Lol
redandblue, we did make good memories last night. He was also getting a kick out of me dying today as I tend to be a little dramatic at times..I think he laughed the hardest when I moaned his name and when he came over I started crying and said I wanted my mommy...lol today was rare form for me..
@janetheconquerer I'm good! Told my sister I couldn't do the rehearsal and surprisingly, she didn't freak out. E stayed with my mom last night and just brought her back. We're off to eat pizza and get a few last min things at target. I need to pack E's bag for staying with my mom when we get home. But I think we're mostly ready.. as ready as anyone can be anyway!
aydee , I hope you still have your sanity. Solo parenting is so hard. Keep your head up and a glass of wine within reach!!
Sanity went out the window a few days ago. This has honestly been pretty terrible, mostly due to DS's behavior. I've been kind of quiet on here because there are only so many times per day or days in a row that I can bitch about the same issues. Especially since many of you deal with extended stints of solo parenting and I'm dying here on day 4. I feel kind of lame.
DH gets back tomorrow around 5:30pm and more than anything I just want to leave the house and have some peace and quiet.
Thanks for checking in on me! I hope you enjoyed your getaway despite the ensuing hangover.
redandblue I hope you're enjoying the girl time this weekend. Great job on the weight loss! 10 pounds??!! That's awesome!
packmomma Hurray for tile! It must feel so good to get that accomplished.
amberlie Good luck tomorrow! Wishing you a smooth and easy delivery. Keep us posted on baby H's arrival.
layloo08 I'm so pissed and sad for you. What kind of motherfuckers take things as personal as your wedding box with all that sentimental stuff? I would understand if they rifled through it and took the money, but the letters and other stuff? Come on. I hope they rot in hell.
I went through the kids' toys today and managed to talk them into throwing out the cheap plastic trinkets and crap that have found their way into my home and regularly get strewn all over the floor. They were surprisingly agreeable. Then we picked some toys to bring down to store in the basement so the living room wouldn't be so cluttered. I really wish we had a dedicated playroom.
I also went through my closet this afternoon and pulled out a bunch of stuff that doesn't fit anymore. It feels good to declutter.
aydee, trust me I understand the hardships of solo parenting and how some might make it look easy and how you then doubt yourself. It's not easy for anyone!! There are times I want to crawl into my closet and hide. My best advice is do what you need to to get tgru the days with the kids fed and unhurt. And have wine, wine helps! And I hope 5:30 gets here quickly for you!!
Today is going to be busy. Gym, clean, laundry, carve pumpkin, grocery shop and prep for week. And maybe some meal prep...as H is flying out if town on Wed for his mom's surgery.
Couldn't sleep last night. Mil wrote an email asking if we were going to stop by for Halloween!!! Um no. I don't even know how to respond. I sent it to H but he was really surprised that she doesn't understand how angry he is at her for choosing his dad over him and W. So weird to be in the middle of this.

Wow. I might respond that she's welcome to come by your place but no you won't be going over there.

+1 to this. It's also not a bad idea for your H to send his mom an email laying out just what you said here. Short and to the point.
Plan is to take the kids to the zoo this morning if we can get out the door at a reasonable time. I also have to grocery shop at some point tonight. I have a feeling I'm going to be wandering the grocery store at 9:30 tonight otherwise I don't know how we're going to fit in a nap for Abigail if we go to the zoo. I wish she was a kid who would nap on the go. Everything is just so darn interesting to her that she fights sleep if she's not in her crib.
Yeah @janetheconquerer the thing is she's not even really welcome here by H. He's so hurt that she wouldn't choose him. He thought she understood that but apparently not. I guess he will need to write her an email explain the situation. I jokingly wanted to write "are you high?!" But that seemed rude.
packmomma I would have been shocked as well. I think your H needs to lay it out for his mom so maybe she can understand the full impact of FIL's actions.
I realized my late night grocery shop won't work because the stores close early on Sunday night. Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to get there with the kids this afternoon. That should be fun. Sunday afternoon at the grocery store is a madhouse. Adding in 3 kids who haven't napped should be interesting.
