I still get nervous when I have to call a doctor's office. This really isn't that hard but it's one of those adulting things I am still not comfortable with.

Hope E is in good spirits this morning and not in too much pain. kristhegirl
I'm at work this morning even though I really wanted to call off. We are starting integration testing for our new grants and agreement platform this afternoon and since I'm a committee member I really need to be there. I really just want to curl back up in my bed and go to sleep though. I'm hoping testing doesn't take the whole 3 hours we have booked so I can actually go home and do just that before picking up the kids.
I am so tired lately. This gloomy weather is killing me. More than one consecutive day of sunshine please!!
It's opening day here for the reds which is actually a super big deal. The whole city shuts down and there's a huge parade and block party. And it is supposed to rain all day long. Boo.
Last night we went for a walk and met some fairly new neighbors. They were really nice and we hung out in their driveway for like 30 mins and she asked for my number before we left. Super exciting!!
I didn't want to get up. This time of the year is so hard to be motivated to work. Only 8 weeks left, which means only 7 more Monday's!! Our phones are out which means the internet is too, so that's fun. I have my HSG this afternoon so as soon as I'm done teaching, I'm out of here! And DS1's game got cancelled tonight so no rushing tonight.
We didn't get home from my grandfather's services until 9 PM and my house is pure chaos. Fx DD1's practice gets rained out so we can work on getting the house in order tonight instead.
I keep questioning whether AB needs some speech help. I had just about made my mind up to call last night and this morning she came running through the house yelling "She farted! She farted! She farted!" in reference to DD2. Of COURSE, that's the moment she chooses to utter a sentence. Good thing she's child #3 and doesn't really have a baby book.
It's overcast this morning and supposed to rain most of the day. We swapped out some of W's toys yesterday and he's so busy playing he hasn't sat down to eat in the 2 hours he's been up. Hopefully he can be this entertained all day.
It's lovely here today, so I plan on venturing out during my lunch break to get some fresh air. It was super hard leaving Nick at daycare this morning, he did fine, but I always struggle on Mondays. Blah. Plus he was being super cute this morning, even though he woke up way too early. He was singing in his crib and proclaiming "happy" for all to hear. Then the trash trucks came, so I knew there was no hope of him falling back asleep.
I love Spring Break. Yesterday we saw the Easter Bunny (Charlotte loved him) and went to target and the park. Today we're going to a community center pool to play. Can I just be a SAHM?! I love it:(
This sickness will not leave me alone. Today I have an awful headache and just feel like I'm going to pass out when I stand. I'm hopeful the meds I'm taking will make it tolerable since we're driving home today. DNW to be stuck in a car while I'm feeling this awful. I'm thinking it might possibly be an ear infection on top of the cold, I can't hear out of my left ear and the pain is radiating down the left side of my neck. Also just heard one of the friends we were with the last 3 days came down with a gastro bug early this morning. That is literally the absolute last thing we need right now. Made H get gravol this morning just in case we need it.
@feegan I wouldn't tell them! I mean, it's not like they are newborns and someone needs to take up your H's slack. Just wash your hands and whatnot, which I'm sure you're e already doing.
A person from HR phoned me and asked me to write a testimonial about how awesome and supportive my employer is to new moms for some application for an award. Um...maybe the organization as a whole is (I have no idea if this is true) but my boss certainly isn't! So either I: A. Lie and write the testimonial, or B. Say to HR I can't because my boss hasn't been supportive, but that opens up an entire can of worms and I'm not comfortable telling HR that, who would then talk to him and tell him I complained (I am the only one of his employees that is a mom so he would know for sure it was me). Ugggh I just don't know what to do. I want to be honest but I don't feel comfortable outing my boss to HR and making a whole thing about it.

Ugh, rachydc, I hope things turn around for you soon!
tcck, it really isn't sunshine and roses all day I was actually just thinking this morning that I'd really like someone to come and take F for a day so I can do some things without a tiny human whining at me all day. And then promptly felt guilty about it. Lol

We finally got the double stroller together yesterday, so we're going for a walk as soon as I'm done feeding the baby. Today is nice, but it's supposed to rain almost all week, so we need to spend all day outside obviously. The laundry can wait, right?

Oh, and DS's top canines are finally cutting through the gums and he is so miserable. Poor guy. Are the 2-year molars just as bad? I'm glad we only have 6 teeth to go.
This day. I made an appointment through the online system to get our taxes done at 8:00. I rush around getting the baby ready and getting DS to daycare and when we arrive there is a sign saying the offices don't open until 9!!! I saw someone going in through a back employee door and I flagged him down and he agreed to let us in early. My h was so embarrassed but I don't care. So our taxes are done at least, and of course we owe. Then I tried to go to urgent care but had to leave because Louis was hungry and I didn't feel comfortable taking him out of his car seat to nurse in the germy waiting room. I have an OB appointment later and I'm going to beg him to prescribe some ABX for my sinus infection. Obs will do that right?!

No one can see Elena until THURSDAY. What the hell?? I can't send her to preschool in this splint, it sucks and comes off all the time and would get filthy in two minutes. I don't know what to do. Can't get an infant brace locally.
shawnabm1320 I used to work nights until DS was 2 so I did get a good 2 years in of SAH all day. I do remember the bad days lol. But overall, I enjoyed being home:/
TL;DR no one slept last night, woke up late this morning. Everyone is off schedule.
Had a busy day yesterday. The youth party went great. Last night was rough with the kids though. DS got up and I rocked him back to sleep. I put him down but had to leave the door open because the kids played with the monitor and I couldnt find it before bed. Then of course DS got all worked up again and I sent my husband in. Then DD got up and would not go back to sleep. I wake up this morning at 9:45am! My husband had closed the doors to both rooms. I just hope DS wasn't crying for too long. DD was still sleeping. Today is the start of spring VBS for DD which started at 11am, so I was running around crazy. My plans for a relaxing day without DD and DS taking a nice nap are ruined by us all being of schedule. All well hanging out with my little guy on this rainy day is a good consolation.

cornpop311 my best friend and I coordinate our kids birthdays. They are a day apart. I would be sad if we missed their daughters birthday. Could one of you switch days?
That sucks kristhegirl! I feel like she should be a priority given her age. Just come up here dh could get you in to see the pediatric ortho today. Worth it right?
It is cloudy here but fairly nice. We are going crazy getting things done and the boys packed for their trip. Ds has been so whiny so a week without that may be nice!
Today my keurig decided to die! So now I am deciding if I want another one or just a different coffee pot all together.
kristhegirl Sorry to hear about E. That seems like a long wait for an active, busy toddler. FWIW, when L had a buckle fracture, they did want me to be wait a few more days before getting the cast on. I pushed to go in ASAP and then once her swelling went down, the cast was loose. She never had it cut off because I accidentally pulled it off the night before her appointment and just left it off.
We had a nice weekend with the in-laws. We had our first "swim" lesson on Saturday. And I use quotes because it was more of a "cling to mom in the pool" lesson. We went to the zoo yesterday morning. I love that they are open at 9, even on Sunday. We walked right in, played for 3 hours and left as the crowds rolled in. Grilled out last night while L ran around with her chalk.
She did nap-strike this weekend and I'm nervous that she's starting to drop her nap. Neither of us is ready.
