It's rainy and chilly here a good reason to just snuggle up and be lazy. H goes back to work today, and it will just be me and my parents. I feel like I need to plan something for them to do.
aggiebug already? That's sad. And if you need to plan something for your parents to do bc you don't need their help, that's great! But if you feel like you need to entertain them, then that's too bad. Hopefully it'll work out either way. Have a good day!
So I'm surprised by the election results. I'm curious to see how this is going to play out. I just hope the US is going to be okay. That's all I'll say! Now let's talk about how much money you make and your religion. Juuuust kidding. I might go to the grocery store for my mom's birthday cake supplies I need if I feel like wrangling the two girls. If not I might go tonight by myself. PS my mom is acting like a damn child about her bday again this year. It's driving me mad!
I am upset today and really don't want to go into work and want to stay home and snuggle with my family. But I have to go make the bacon I guess.
I worry about our country but I'm mostly disappointed in my state. The presiding religion touts family values and morality as being most important and yet look who they voted for.
Anyway, there's politics, money and religion talk for you. I'm going to go distract myself with breakfast.

kartish I'm with you this morning, it's my first day back in the office since last Thursday and I wish I could have stayed home with DH and DD. It is a gloomy, dreary day here and that seems fitting for the mood of the city today. I am feeling disappointed too, and really disheartened by the sexism and lack of morals this country displayed yesterday. Also I'm incredibly tired because I did not sleep well which does not help.
aggiebug can you send them to the store to pick something up? They get out for a bit and you get a break, but they still feel like they're being helpful.
dreemkin it is by choice for H. He will take off more time once my parents leave (still not enough in my opinion), but he didn't see the point of taking time off while I have their help which is mostly true.
And as far as the parents go, my mom keeps asking what my goal is for the day. I told her to shower and take a nap. I think she is mostly good with that but would like a project. My dad gets bored, so I try and keep things for him to do he runs to the store I asked him to look at my shower door etc. I am incredibly thankful they are here but I am also very thankful they are staying at a hotel and tend to leave after dinner is cleaned up.
Me: it looks like spider man N: I don't like spider man because he's a spider Me: and a man N: I don't like him but daddy's a man and I like him. But he's not a spider.
Struggling today. G and I went to the park and I ended up running laps around a big field, which he thought was hilarious, and kept me from falling apart, so that's good I guess.
aggiebug Put them to work. Laundry, frozen meal prep, grocery shopping, cleaning, walking screaming babies who won't sleep around the block (I hope your baby sleeps), whatever is on your chore list. It doesn't have to be endless work, but get them to knock tasks off for you and let you relax. New moms deserve spoiling.
This board has inspired me to set tv/screen time limits for the girls and the last couple days have been going well! Now I need to set a phone time limit for myself lol

I set myself a phone time limit a week ago....it hasn't been successful yet.
I'm sorry for all those disappointing with the election. I'm sad for you! I was in shock watching the results and trying to stay positive.
It is a little comical that our immigration website crashed last night due to volume. It still isn't back up yet but that's sort how we roll up here so if people plan on moving I guess they will have to get used to that. we having been preparing for the Mexican visa to lift and the flood of ref claims coming but maybe should expect some Americans as well.
Forest is great for keeping you off your phone. Set limit of 10 minutes to 2 hours to grow a tree or bush. I use it to keep me off my phone when I'm bored in meetings.
I'm not familiar with those tests. There does seem to be a faint line for the plus! I think maybe first thing in the morning would be a better time to test.
2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) looks like a positive to me! Go out and get a digital test! Naria on parenting compared clearblue digital to dye tests with an early BFP and the digital was more sensitive. FX for you!!
I hope it's what it looks like 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)! For what it's worth, my first pregnancy test with V was at the end of the day and was faint like that. Good luck!
