Hi ladies! Things have been pretty hectic - keeping the house in a constant state of readiness for showings we've pretty much had 1-2 each day since the house was listed last Thursday but no offers yet. DD and I spent the weekend visiting my parents in CT so we wouldn't have to deal with the showings and open houses. She had such a good time she keeps asking to go back.
At work today and its rainy, and the trains are all messed up so my commute took an extra 40 minutes this morning. I'll probably try to leave early. I'm really hoping they get everything resolved and back to normal by tomorrow but it doesn't seem promising.
I'm working on my resume to apply for two internal jobs and reapplying for an internal headhunting program. There's a lot of competition for my level in my group and if we do TFAS this year I'm going to have to step away from the manufacturing floor with a BFP.
Met with my two local LLL leaders today for my leadership training application interview. It went well :-) now at home for nap and laundry. Hoping I have time to do my nails too.
Last night I woke up with a sour stomach and got sick. So random. Feel fine today. I did much needed grocery shopping (like two weeks worth) while N was at totschool. She asked why I go then...it's much easier with one kid, kid! I recently learned that an old coworker of mine passed away and I was really taken aback. She was recovering from breast cancer while I worked there. I guess something happened with that. I would go to the wake tonight but I'm solo and I don't want the girls first funeral experience to be not even a family member. I don't keep death concepts from them bc that's nature but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that ... and alone. Am I being too sensitive?
I'm buying a toddler tula even though I haven't used our other one in months. I think it'll be good for going to games and walks with DS. He likes to walk on his own most of the time, but when he doesn't, 36lbs of toddler gets heavy fast.
kartish I'm sorry for the funk even though it's well justified. We have not been good about a will/trust or anything either and we should really get on that soon! And IMO sleep begets sleep, so naps are always a good choice for us.

We just got back from a walk I took to clear my head, it seemed to improve V's mood also. Nice when those things coincide.
I think I might try and go for a drive to see if V will nap in the car. Is a short car nap worth it, or will it just make things worse this evening?
Can you walk him in the stroller? I do this with DS -- walk the neighborhood until he passes out (usually within 5-10 minutes) and then I either return home and rock him the stroller or I continue walking aND run errands or hit a coffeeshop.
seamonster he rarely sleeps on a walk anymore, that used to be my go to for nap struggles. I did get him down for a nap without using the car though, after our walk he let me lay him down.

Love my toddler buckle carrier from Soul Slings. Got the linen one cause it's so hot here. Folds up smaller than my ergo360! Mostly use it when traveling or if G gets worn out partway through a long walk. Agree that I can't carry him in my arms very long.
