I crockpot cooked drip beef overnight and my house smells amazing. I'm now drinking coffee, watching Downton, and doing my makeup before I have to leave. If I hadn't been out on Friday, I'd be playing hookey today. MH takes N to school on Mondays and needed to leave earlier today. He leisurely ate cereal and listened to sports shit as I dealt with a crying kid trying to get me and him ready. Not a good way to start the week... we went to bed not speaking either due to the fight about his mom. Yay.
layloo08 I hope you habe a chance to reset before you get to work. I have issues with H helping get M ready when we go somewhere together. I shouldn't have to tell you to get ready earlier so you can help me with M!
I used Carter's rewards and their big sale to get M four pairs of shorts for $2.15! Plus it's just a 4 day work week for me, I'm just ignoring it's so I can take the huge test on Friday. Plus vacation this weekend!
Ugh, sorry about the fights layloo08. H came home early from work yesterday, ostensibly to play with the kids. He then proceeded to take a nap while I gave them a bath, got them in bed, did the dishes, and made dinner. Dude, seriously? I've never even slept in since having kids, let alone napped after work.
My brother is visiting this weekend. He hasn't met C yet, so I'm pretty excited to see him.
Except I'm a sucky sister and wife. A few weeks ago my brother asked if he could bring his dog, and I said yes without thinking about it, but forgot to menti9n it to H. Finally remembered to tell H last night, and he had to remind me he's allergic to dogs. Guys, we've been together almost 20 years. What is wrong with me? So now the dog will stay with friends and my brother is looking for last minute plane tickets, which of course are more expensive. I'm feeling pretty shitty about it.
joi922, yep. That's happened to us too haha Exciting about your brother! MH is allergic to bananas. I once got him a smoothie with... bananas in it haha. I promise I wasn't trying to kill him!
i could do without the blood curdling screaming of Mommy! at 3 am by A. That shit jolts me straight up in a panic state of mind running across the house, to 1, see what's on fire and 2 stop her from screaming before she wakes up C and then I'd have 2 littles awake and crying. This time, she pee'd a bit in her pants. Didn't even get the sheets wet. Thank you training panties.
today is my surgery follow up appointment. my throat is still sore (like when i swallow, think of having strep and how it hurts). and i'm not sure how long it is supposed too. plus it's annoying. it'd be nice if it stopped.
joi922, how allergic is your h? like watery eyes or like will end up in the hospital? because at this point, i'd be weighing my options since i had already said yes. but if it's like a death allergy, than yea no dog.
that sucks BUT you still get to see your brother!!!

Been there. Except J was having a night terror and had already fallen back asleep by the time I got there. Thanks for heart attack, kid.

Not hospital, but would need to keep his inhaler around. Bad enough that the dog really shouldn't be leaving dander and saliva all over our stuff for H to find after the dog is gone.
Honestly, I also don't want to listen to H whine about it all weekend.
Also waiting on news from @mrspanpan! Sorry to hear your throat is still strep-level hurting, @janetheconquerer.
I'm home from school today, sick. I have the cold from hell. Due to being KU and in first tri, I'm not taking any meds. Honey/lemon water is my best bud and seems to be making me feel OK. I feel like I should take advantage of this time home alone to get some stuff done (like spring cleaning) but I do not know if that will actually happen. Maybe I will tackle one room. Or maybe I will just hang out here all day.
Poor DS got whatever it is I have too and after DH got up with him 3 times between bedtime and 11pm, I just brought DS in bed with us. He did keep waking up a lot, but it was way easier to settle him back down with a re-position and a cuddle, and at least no one had to get up out of bed. I had one really bad night with this crud, so hopefully tonight will be better for him. He hasn't been in bed with us like that in ages.
noname, I also despise being late! DH doesn't mind. And I also suffer from the task of having to magically get myself AND E ready while DH just gets to focus on himself.

Yes! H will be hanging out on the couch and when I press him on it he'll say "well it only takes me 30 min to get ready, I don't need to get up yet." It only takes YOU 30 minutes, but what about the rest of us? I should not be responsible for everyone else. This is a sore spot, especially since being late anywhere kills me inside.
yeah, when he said "we" needed to get up earlier he totally meant himself. I always get up at 5:30 and he is up ~6. Luckily, the lateness was on him.

glad you have a follow up and can ask about how long it should last. I second the more ice cream
taketheshot, today's a new day. I don't think anyone really knows how to handle a toddler - it's all trial and error. Just know that you are a great mom, this is a phase, and every other mom out there is going thru the same thing!
I remember several tantrums that A has thrown at the grocery store in the middle of the aisle right next to check out. Full on melt downs because she couldn't have cheeto's. I would be sweating, literally. But i would take deep breaths, smile at the adults looking at us, and just keep telling A that it's fine, I know she is upset and when she is finished we will pay and leave. She is much improved.
Yes, taketheshot and everyone else too! We tried going out to a Mexican restaurant and DS lost his shit. I went outside to the care with E and DH gathered up all our stuff and paid and got the food in to-go boxes. The waitress was super sweet to him and said we were welcome to come back in and that they are a family restaurant and understand. I was talking to my sister and she was like "yeah, we didn't go out to eat until K (their youngest) was like 5." I'd like to be able to do it but it is just so challenging now, especially since it is not a normal routine for us. Also, my DH gets really tense and stressed from the minute we walk in to a restaurant with him and I think E feels that.
esgrunner, we go to restaurants that are more sports themed because they are loud. so our kids being loud won't disrupt others. our theory, the louder the restaurant the better.
with that said, we don't do well at breakfast, lol
