WTF and/or Winning Wednesday

[anewadventure]

it is wednesday, right? i am losing my mind.

[anewadventure]

i have some WTF's for sure.

WTF to my brain. i know, i know, this is a recurring theme. why won't you work??

WTF to my brain x 2. why won't you let me sleep at night? stop with the crazy dreams / thinking about random shit in the middle of the night.

WTF to my son (gasp!). my DH and i switch off nights. so every other night i get up for any and all things that LO needs. how come, Mr. E, you gotta get up 8 times on my nights and 1-2 times on daddy's nights? mama loves cuddles but she also loves sleep, and loves not looking like a zombie, etc.

WTF to germs!!! go awayyyy!! my DH has been sick for three weeks. has four prescriptions. no dice. my son? sick for about three weeks. been to the doc and all. i hate hearing him cough all the time, and boy would he prefer if the nosefrieda found its way to the garbage disposal. and, alas, i could not hold out - i have been sick for about a week and a half. i'm over it. wahh.

I hope your family and brain get better anewadventure. No sleep and being sick might be why your brain is on strike. Hopefully you can get some much needed R&R soon.

And hope you get some sleep too @adulruna. And if you can change insurance companies I would. Eff that, they don't deserve your money.

My WTF is I think my kid going through the 5th leap early. So no sleep and I had to buy a whole new box of diapers and new clothes all of a sudden.

Winning: It's chinese new year! So much good food is waiting for me this weekend! Yaaass!

alioop1028 jealous. Now i'm hungry!!

Fuck this though, another leap so soon? i am not ready.

Seriously. LO was born 2 weeks early so I'm going by her due date on the wonder weeks app, but like a light switch on exactly 2 weeks before her 5th leap she started waking up every 2 hours again. I guess she caught up where she needs to be. Yay?

WTF kid I take care of. You are 6 1/2 months and your mom says you roll all around at home and for about a month now, yet at my house you go into potato mode! You have yet to roll at all here. Also she says you love tummy time yet at my house you just bury you face and cry.

I also tested this today while the girls were having some tummy time facing each other. I stood around the corner and she was as happy as could be, even almost rolling once. After a few minutes I came into the room and she instantly started crying!

WTF toddler. You sure know how to make me feel good about myself. "Move your big butt mama!" I was apparently sitting on one of her toys. Thanks kid...
WTF to baby sleep. We are back to being up every 2 hours these last 3 days. Sigh.

anewadventure, Sorry everyone is sick. I will say that I found with DD1 that if I used the nose frieda when she was actually sick as opposed to just congested, that I would always get sick too. The nose frieda works really well but I can see how it would spread germs pretty easily to the person using it. I started reverting to the old school bulb if baby is sick. Sometimes I get sick anyway but it made a difference when I stopped using the nose frieda. I hope you all get healthy soon!

to be fair...when my DH got sick, i had no problem banishing him away from me to avoid catching his germs. when LO got sick...i continued to kiss his cute face 1000 times a day. i wonder who's to blame for me catching the germs?

WTF work deadlines, why do you have to be so soon! Too much to do and not enough time!!

What the fuck, Wednesday?  Why do you suck?

Hubs and I both worked from home yesterday because when the weather is shitty, the city forgets that my neighborhood exists, so we can't drive on our street. Neither of us got any work done because the peanut is so needy!  No wonder most companies (including ours) have a policy against working from home with kids without child care.  Both of our managers let it slide yesterday.  I got 3 hours of work done from the time I logged I at 7am, and off at 7 pm.

Then today, of course, I still can move my god damn car. Hubs had to take his to the shop and didn't know if it'd be ready today. So, we couldn't get LO to daycare.  Knowing I couldn't successfully "parent" and "work" simultaneously, I took PTO today.  I've been logged in anyway since 6am (because, deadlines), and have been working with either on my lap, on my boob, or screaming in her rocker because she refuses to nap.  She has slept for about 45 minutes since 5:30 this morning. WHAT THE FUCK.  

I'm mad because if LO is here, and I need to take PTO, I want to just snuggle with her on the couch and catch up on my DVR... but no luck. I know I should shut down when on PTO, but it would completely screw me for the rest of the month.

Also, I kind of wanted to go to church for Ash Wednesday today, but have no way to get there.  But I couldn't be bothered to come up with a meatless lunch. So now, I'm not just cranky over today, but I feel guilty. AND one of the trainers at my gym was nice enough to text me a couple at-home workouts since I can't get to the gym.  I've just ignored them

WTF snowmaggedon 2015! Mother Nature decides to drop 12 inches of snow on us on Monday, followed by another 3+ over the course of this morning. Now we are facing all time record breaking lows for the next few days, with wind chills of up to -30. I live in a place that is accustomed to being shut down by 2-3 inches. I have literally been completely trapped in my house since Sunday night, and there is no end in sight due to temperatures and more snow expected this weekend. All schools and daycares are closed. The small town I live in doesnt plow or salt. I couldn't get out of my neighborhood in my vehicle if my life depended on it. My 5 year old is going crazy and my 5 month old is in major teething and leep mode. I so want to go to work, but I can't! I actually went outside and shoveled my driveway and surrounding road for 3 hours today, just to get a break. When shit finally gets plowed, I will be ready!
