Awful. First REALLY bad bed time in a while. Started at 730, after hours of nurse sleep scream repeat I found out she was too warm swaddled in fleece pjs. She finally fell asleep around 1245.
It probably wouldn't have been so bad if Tuesday wasn't my first day back at the gym and my legs weren't on fire 😩 seriously, it was easier walking around after my cesarean than that workout
Also, I think the worst thing about going back to work will be that I can't wear sweat pants and I have to take a shower.
Add to that wearing a real bra, heels, and makeup. Ugh.
Haha yeah...I'll wear a bra but fuck heels and maybe makeup lol. My workplace (small family business) is pretty low key so I can actually get away with super casual attire. So I really shouldn't be complaining.
You guys just reminded me that none of my nice pants fit. Guess I'll be subbing tomorrow in jeans and a fancy top. My principal is pretty chill so I don't think she'll mind but fail on my part.
It's so cold out. I just walked into down to the parking so she's could run and play with other dogs and now I can barely type. Brrrr.
First night in the nursery went well. Dd did one MOTN wake up and then up at 6. My kids have no chill. I didn't sleep well because I missed her and the sound machine move down to the nursery with her. Grumbles.

vlagroupie - I'm already mourning my relationships with LuluLeggings and soft pants. I can't imagine putting on work pants. But I did find out the our dress code relaxed while I've been on leave.... Non-customer-facing employees (me!) can wear jeans everyday!

Man, real pants suck. I squeezed into a pair of jeans and while they button fine, they just hit me in all the wrong places. I couldn't imagine dress pants right now.

Oh and Leap 2 can go F itself. What happened to my content little angel? She's not happy unless she's on my boob...then she spits up. So much laundry to do, but she gets mad when I put her down. I guess I need to break out the ergo, but also, that just means she'll spit up down my shirt.
My mom and her friend are coming by today. I need to pick up my house, but boob baby won't let me do it!
Today is mh's first day off this week but he has a class and a meeting at noon, so he is staying at work and sleeping in his car for a few hours instead of coming home. He won't be home until after 4 and will probably want to sleep (which I get), and be asleep through dinner and bedtime. It's crap, a waste of a day off and I will get no help. I'm not mad at him, just annoyed at the situation. //rant over

I totally get this. DH is on a business trip, but he kept complaining that it was pointless for him to go. He was annoyed with his job which in turn made me annoyed that I'm flying totally solo for a few days.
If we stay in Switzerland, I will need to work and it will be a long commute. If we move to Naples, I I can stay at home and give English lessons at home. Ugh, I don't know what to do. Naples is a chaotic place but we have family, friends and life is less expensive. Switzerland is expensive, boring and we are alone but feels safe and I a comfortable here. What to do?

vlagroupie, my ob asked me how I felt about returning to work and my response was: I really don't want to have to shower and wear real clothes. I completely forgot hair loss is a thing. I'm sure it will happen to me soon. Hooray.
B had his first ever 5.5 hour stretch! And DS1 slept till 7! Despite all that sleep, I feel groggy and just want to sit and stare at the tv. I may be getting a new phone today and I am torn between sticking to the iPhone or switching to a galaxy S7. Thoughts? Dh has a Samsung note and he is a huge fan. I have only ever had iPhones so I am hesitant to switch but only because I'm not big in change.

biscotto, that's tough but if it were me, I'd want to be near family and friends. That's something I desperately miss. And a long commute is such a pain and both a physical and emotional drain (I used to commute two hours). What is chaotic about Naples? The city itself? The attitude of the people? Being near DH's family? Is it something you would get accustomed to or would it take too much of a toll on you?

biscotto, if you're asking for opinions, I'd want to have a village. I would move to Naples where you have friends and family. I had a short period with a long commute (about an hour each way), and it was the fucking worst.
Man, real pants suck. I squeezed into a pair of jeans and while they button fine, they just hit me in all the wrong places. I couldn't imagine dress pants right now.
Yes! It's the worst. I'm wondering if I have to put effort in and try on new brands and styles to find the right fit now.

A friend from DS BMB recommended American Eagle, which I wouldn't have thought of because I think of that as a teen store. I ordered two pairs online in one size larger than my normal size. The skinny style fits perfect. The boyfriend was baggy in all the wrong places. But, I love that they aren't super low rise and we're on sale for $29.95. Overall, Id def recommend them and I'm not sure why I insisted in wearing something different today, ha.
I've decided this upcoming Fall when I'm back to my old self, I'm treating myself to a nice, expensive, fit like a glove pair of jeans. Until then, these will do great.

This. I'd want family with two little. And these are all my questions as well biscotto, what's chaotic? If it's the area would living slightly outside the city but still be close to family make it less chaotic?
Thanks everyone for input. Naples is chaotic in the way people drive, it's old and rundown, hospitals are old, everyone is constantly up in your business,etc. But this is the culture of Italy. I'm just afraid to leave Switzerland for a new place.
