A big piece of one of my files got accidentally overridden. Luckily, we still have the pieces we need to present, but eventually I'm going to have to fix it. Not today though. Maybe after I'm back from leave.
I woke up feeling awful this morning. V had a rough night too, and therefore so did DH. I hope my tummy feels better and the heartburn goes away soon.
But it's my Friday today, I've got a decent chance of finishing everything I need to before the end of the day so I won't need to work from home.
I really wish I had taken today off as DC is open and I could have used the kid free time to finish some big projects around the house. MH is off and he said he would do it. I'm wondering how that is going to turn out lol. I'm kinda scared!
Me and MH got into a huge fight while DD stayed overnight at MIL's this weekend (I think on Sat?) but we ended up having a much needed CTJ talk about a lot of things. I cried a lot but things are much much better now! He has also been very sweet ever since which has been nice. I feel like we got a lot of stuff out that has been bothering us and we were able to reconnect.
Oh no kartish! I hope it's an easy fix! How frustrating! Hope you all feel better soon and it's nothing serious!
lilyelayne I hope you feel better too! Add me to needing to all the laundry. I'm trying to do one or two loads as soon as I get home from work so that I don't have to do a mountain all at once on the weekends!
kartish feel better! Hope you have a productive day so you can relax when you're off.
mena so glad you and your H reconnected. Fighting is awful but communicating is great, so if one leads to the other at least there's that.
Also, no more weekend laundry is one of the best changes SAH has let me make in our family life. Sounds silly but I love it.
Weekend laundry is the bane of my existence. I really want to try hard to do at least one load when I get home from work but it's so hard with all the other craziness plus the exhaustion from the day! I'm really going to push my self tonight to do it. FX!
Morning today is a tantrum kind of morning. So much so DD triggered her gag reflex... All over the carpet. Oyi. I am trying to teach her to take a deep breath to calm down but it's not working yet.
lilyelayne and yes I hate when we fight but I'm glad it leads us to actually talk about things. He's been under a lot of stress at work lately and I think that contributed to everything. A plus I'm trying to make some pretty hard lifestyle changes myself so feel a little on edge. I'm hoping we will be good for a while. We were able to get on the same page for a lot of things and both recommitted to our marriage and family. So I felt really good about that!
lilyelayne I hear you on the weekend laundry. We actually had to do some this weekend being have been without a dryer since Tues and needed to get some done. Such a pain.
In fact H asked to start some laundry I told him I hadn't collected the kids clothes so if he wanted to sort it he could sort of he wanted and start the whites. Turns out he dug through their laundry baskets, pulled out the white stuff and left everything else so when I ran the next load I didn't get their clothes washed. Oyi.

aggiebug we happened to pick up the book Calm Down Little Monkey at the library the other week, and G took to it really well. We already had a calm down spot for him, and the book gives a few simple strategies.
mena when I was working I had one of those divided laundry baskets so I didn't have to sort. I would put a load in the washer just before bed. Different strategies- (1) if washer has a delay, delay so it'll turn on MOTN and be done when you wake up. Move clothes to the dryer in the AM. Fold in the evening. (2) no delay but you're okay with wet clothes in the dryer for several hours, turn washer on before you go to bed. Then same as option 1. (3) no delay and you're okay with wet clothes for many hours, turn on in AM, move to dryer after work. Fold when done or next day. (4) turn on in AM, come home at lunch and move to dryer. Fold in evening. (5) turn on when you come home from work. Then move to the dryer when done. Fold when done or next day.
I found having to sort/load/wash/dry all after work was too much to ever get done. And I had so little time in the AM I wasn't going to do anything that took more than a couple minutes.
lilyelayne I am going to have to find that book. She is pretty even keeled but when she gets going she throws up so I have got to get her some calming techniques!
Eta dang it doesn't look like they have it, I might have to buy it.
I can't concentrate at work today, not good. Plus I have to leave early because I forgot to drive myself and took the bus, so I don't have time to be unmotivated.
lilyelayne I'll have to check that book out. V needs help calming down. I also need a book about hitting, any recommendations?

I'm so congested. When I blow my nose a lot, especially if using saline spray, G tells me "momma needs Frida." At least he knows what the nose Frida is for?

My toddler loves to help with laundry. The divided hampers are good if you actually sort the clothes when you take them off. We have an ikea drying rack that can hold two loads and use that. DS hangs up socks.

The hamper in our bathroom is divided and H and I separate clothes as we put them in the laundry. The kids just has a single basket in their rooms that I cart into our room and separate when I prepare to do laundry.works pretty well. Especially since S loves to put her clothes in the hamper, but the art of separating by color is a little above her comprehension as of yet.
