My husband woke me up at 2:15 this morning because the dog was reverse sneezing and he was worried about her. I have such a hard time falling back asleep after being woken up and I have so much on my mind anyway that it took me until after 4:00 to fall back asleep. And Noah was up at 5:30. Please pass the coffee. I'm wfh today and DH and DS1 are leaving on their trip this morning. DS1 still doesn't have a clue.
In other news I'm completely stressed. The event for my loss group is in 3.5 weeks and has been a cluster. I'm having a hard time with the job decisions I am going to have soon. I have an interview tomorrow and 3 on Monday for the position in our ED group. I think it's at the point that I need to tell my boss, but I'm struggling with that. Sigh.
DS fell off his chair at breakfast and knocked over an entire bowl of fruity pebbles. I've never wanted to peace out on a situation more. I told them they are never allowed to have cereal again after spending 20 minutes wiping up milk.
Sam has speech this morning and then we'll probably spend some time outside since it's like summer weather today.

I have struggled really finding my identity as "pixiepink" and not just "W's mom" for a while. I'm always with her so I don't get the chance to be just "me". Well, I saw an ad looking for female softball players to play on a coed team close to my house and signed up!!! I played softball all through MS, HS, and co-Ed adult league until I was mid 20's. I actually stopped playing then because I was afraid to get injured before my wedding. Haha! Major eye roll! So tonight is my first game!!!!!! Ahhhh! I'm so nervous and even dreamt about forgetting how to play. I also have no real plan for child care and going to be mom of the year by keeping my toddler up late at a park once a week! Wahoo!
DH woke me up at 3am to ask for a kiss. He must have been dreaming or something. I didn't fall back to sleep until 5 and he was snoring away within a few minutes. This is why I'm tired all the time.

MIL texted me to say that DS woke up saying he "hates" the dog, the ceiling fan, his diaper, breakfast... This is a phase, right? Where did he even get that from??? Ack. It is sad.
If it makes you feel any better, I often hate everything too upon waking up for the day.
H and I had our first mixed-doubles tennis league match last night where we were handily defeated by a middle-aged woman and her 14-year-old son. I am sore. That is all.
(Also if the board disbands, @officedronette and cornpop311 and paradebegone know where I live in case you're dying for more exciting updates.)
TL;DR My step mom passed away and my health is bad.
I'm really struggling lately. I just don't know how to put myself back together. My step mom passed away on the 4th from cancer. My sister and I flew out to CA for the funeral. It is really hard seeing my mom so distraught and I'm worried about her. My allergies are still a mess. I saw the doctor again before I left for CA and they prescribed me more medicine but it's still not working great. I got sunburned in CA and now have developed a rash. I've been trying to work on losing weight but cannot shut off the eat all the bad food stress eating button. On the bright side my kids have been pretty good and my husband has been really supportive.
DH woke me up at 3am to ask for a kiss. He must have been dreaming or something. I didn't fall back to sleep until 5 and he was snoring away within a few minutes. This is why I'm tired all the time.
When I was pregnant with L, I bought these pregnancy guided meditations from Circle + Bloom. They put me OUT. They last 15-16 minutes and I never recall hearing the middle, let alone the end. Might be worth looking into if you have trouble falling (back) asleep. Any time I'm having difficulty I just pop one on (now that I'm prego again, I pop on the right GA one) and focus on my breathing and the lady puts me right to sleep.
@officedronette, I definitely need to look into that. If it's not DH waking me up, I have to pee and then I'm up for an hour or two. I'm yawning all day which is not helping me stay motivated at work.

pixiepink24, Is she going to sit on the sidelines and watch? That's super awesome that you joined, but Im confused about the no baby care plans. There's 100% chance A would run away if I were to take my eyes off her for even a second in an open space.

I imagine it's going to be like that little boy, Cyril, in a Leagud of Their Own. Lol. W will run through the dug out like a little crazy person while teammates on the bench watch her. *I need a GIF here

I'm sorry hereiam, that's a lot to handle at once. I hope things start to look up and you can healthy quickly.
I Love living in the city! Me and the boys are having so much fun today. Came home for second breakfast and then we're going to a splash pad and costco. Our plan is to stay with my parents for a while, but I found a couple amazing looking houses in our price range that I want to check out. One is even much cheaper than our max budget and I'm tempted to go look at it. We really shouldn't buy yet since I want to get ahead and pay the truck off before we do, but I can't get over how perfect these would be for us.

I'm counting on @justinslovo to find me if we go dark. Not sure how to search for an insta page -i'm old.
Cub Scout den picnic is tonight that I'm in charge of. So leaving work at 3 and hope everything runs smoothly. I'm a little nervous about not enough food, but I didn't want tons of leftovers and am trying to conscientious of the budget.
My kids are having a lemonade stand today. We live at the end of a cul de sac. They don't seem to be concerned. I think I may be that annoying mom who texts her friends (maybe even post on the BST) and ask for folks with a kind heart to stop by. I'd hate to see them crushed if no one comes.
@wafflesfriendswork, forevermorgan, amch8, I always thought his name was "Stewall" so I was close I just googled "Little boy from league of their own gif" I wonder what he's up to now
I'm sitting here thinking that maybe you could tie one of those backpack things to the bleachers to keep W nearby? Then I remembered that is what you do with a puppy, not a kid, and bystanders probably won't approve. I promise I'll help raise bail money if anyone follows my awesome parenting tips.
L seems to be on the tail end of his sleep regression. Knock on wood. I've actually gotten decent sleep lately! Daycare adjustment is going okay. Yesterday he was upset and wouldn't drink his bottle so they went and got Henry's coat and snuggled him up in it and he calmed right down. I about died of cute when I heard that!
@justinslovo no air conditioning is rough! Can you get a window unit for your bedroom? hereiam I'm sorry you are having such a rough time @officedronette I've heard lots of great things about those circle + bloom recordings. Do you listen to them with headphones?

No, I just put it on my phone on low on my bedside table. It rarely wakes husband up (is probably less disruptive than tossing/turning) and he finds her just as soothing. I've also just been so flipping exhausted lately that I'm generally OUT the second I go to bed, but sometimes it's hard to go back after the inevitable MOTN pee.
