littlelion DS has his moments with DD too. Today he was so incredibly sweet and wouldn't stop hugging her all day long. But then at one point I was sitting on the couch with the two of them, holding her in a seated position in one arm, when out of nowhere he just put his hand square on her face and tried to push her backwards. I was so mad!
I get mad too. I feel very protective of alex but at the same time feel bad doing so since he lashes out from jealousy.
Anyone watch This is Us? I just got done ugly crying after tonight's episode. Dh is making a valiant effort to not make fun of me too bad.
Hugs to all the mamas with sibling rivalry going on.
littlelion until Weds? Yikes, hope she feels better soon! We're headed to Colorado for a ski vacation. Hugs to you, for balancing DC and going back to work. ourcrazynavylife looks great! nemomof2 I'm feeling mostly better. Lo spiked a temp after nap today and even though he looked rough, was still playing. I really hope this is the peak of it. Thanks for asking! Loved reading your birth story.
At 1:00 I'm going to lunch with my moms group--15 of us plus our babies (all 5 months and under). Hopefully it's fun and crazy as opposed to just crazy lol
Later this afternoon I want to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and warm-ish air. I am feeling kinda cooped up this morning for whatever reason.

I'm a bundle of out of control psycho hormones this morning. I am so uncomfortable in my own skin and all my shoes are hurting my feet. I changed clothes 457963 times waiting on DH to get home (was supposed to go to clinicals). Ended up just having a sob fest as soon as he walked in the door. I think I'm taking a mental break day and not going.
I am *thisclose* to selling the toddler and the cat. Both are being needy and really testing their boundaries today.
Lo woke up super early this morning calling for us to "blow nose." Dh went in there twice and then left for work. The 3rd time I went in and lo was verrrry displeased that I was not dh. Once he got over being pissed he decided it was wake up time and was a ball of energy all morning.
His temp is starting to creep back up this afternoon, but he ate a really good breakfast and lunch and just looks better than he did yesterday. Fx it stays low or goes back down and he wakes up from nap happy.
dashook have fun at lunch! Fx it's fun chaos. ourcrazynavylife hugs. Take that mental health day- you deserve it. Hormones are the worst.
Nothing much going on today, just doing stuff around the house. I need to finish laundry. FIL inserted his in the middle of my 4 loads, so I have clean socks but no pants.
When cleaning out storage, found 2 garbage bags full of papers I have just finished sorting through between trash and shred. Now, on to shred but I'm waiting for DD to wake up from her nap.
I had a blast at the game last night, despite the home team losing. The Avs are the team in the league right now. It's very sad. My bro and his mom were upset, but I had to be honest. I expected them to lose, but it was a much closer game than I thought it was going to be. I got my mini donuts, which I have been craving so badly!! I can only get them there. I've actually looked into my own machine, but don't know if that's considered overreacting or not lol. ($100 on Amazon!) There was a ton of fans for the Kings there. I expected a few, as always, but we were surrounded! There was only one D-bag within hearing distance but that was it. A very respectful night between two teams.
We found a house we really want to check out, and our entire realty team (4 of them) are on some "team building retreat" in Breckenridge. One of them admitted to me there is skiing involved, so I didn't feel too bad when I emailed and texted (and threatened to call if I didn't hear back) about this house and what we could do so I could look at it. It's right down the street from our friends, and there's no HOA! It starts showing tomorrow, they come back tomorrow. It works out for me. I believe he planned on taking the day off, but... oops.
ourcrazynavylife ha! He napped for a half hour, woke up screaming and then cried until I let him eat a popsicle and watch a movie. And you'll appreciate this- I totally found a pair of LLR leggings that I've been dying to get my hands on. I was so excited to see they hadn't been snatched up yet! Dh looked at me like I was crazy for being so excited. Lol nemomof2 you have my sympathies. Hope they have a better day tomorrow! raven fx for that house! Glad you had fun last night.
Turns out when lo is super overtired, he's just like a tiny, hilarious drunk. He was cracking up at himself while we were trying to put him to bed, flopping all over the place and babbling away. We recently taught him how to say "I love you too" (omg it's the cutest) and tonight he kept repeating "I K you!" and cackling like a maniac instead. Toddlers.
MIL took DS out to lunch and DD was napping so my nanny asked if she could run home and grab something. That was an hour and 45 minutes ago and she still isn't back. At what point is this a wtf moment?

How far away does she live? I'd text her and ask if she's ok and if so, will she be back soon.

1st day back at work. I have non-gym shoes on and my hair is combed and styled.
Work is good, busy. Lots to fix. And pumping is taking up free time. So no lunch yet. Might need drive thru since I leave soon to pick up alex. My sister is watching him and she needs to pick up her own kids from school. Not sure how long I can keep up this pumping. Too stressful. And I've only been at it 1 day.

^^^Yup. This. Although I would also be like "WTF??" Now I'm curious- did she return yet?
littlelion hugs! Glad your first day back is going well. Pumping at work sounds so stressful, hopefully you can find a good groove and it gets easier!
Had a pretty good day so far. Got the day off from watching E- I was supposed to have her today and tomorrow this week, but her mom kept her home today because she's getting over the stomach flu. So it's just been me and my little bossy man hanging out. We spent most of the morning outside. It's gorgeous here today and supposed to be nasty and stormy tomorrow.
He looks like he's feeling MUCH better today. What a difference a day makes.
Hang in there littlelion pumping sucks but you can totally do it!! Just try and make a schedule and stick to it. Look at pictures of videos of Alex. Try and relax

Dh got home and said he brought us donuts. I open the bag and do not see a donut but a small bun with a white glaze. I cut it in half to share with leo and it has a brown filling. It was not chocolate like I hoped. Maybe prune or dates or figs? Something yucky. Anyways, after putting the kids to bed I got so hungry I ate the other "donut" up.
I think I deserve a real donut for breakfast tomorrow.

Thanks for the reminders! I found a video of him crying and it helped alot!
Lol sorry for the total PNR yesterday. Nanny lives about 25 minutes away if no traffic (which there wasn't any yesterday at that time). She came back like 5 minutes after I posted about it (of course).
So I didn't get to go out and do a mani-pedi like I would have if she had been here. But I guess that's okay because I saved money and did them myself?
ashlantic so glad H is finally feeling better! littlelion how are you doing after the return to work? Did it go okay overall? I am kinda looking forward to getting back to work but dreading fitting in pumping.
