Monday

And don't even get me started about packing for a trip. H is responsible for packing his own clothes and shoes. I pack food, toys, kids clothes, my own clothes, toiletries, tickets, reservations, transportation, etc...

We went to a play group this morning. Now I'm at my mom's working. I feel very flying by the seat of my pants today. Like I'm definitely forgetting something but I don't know what. And I'm all out of whack because I don't normally work Mondays and so I keep thinking it's Friday. I had two lunches and two lunch desserts today.

The social ties thing really struck me about that article @kitchen. It is so true that I have to schedule play dates and social stuff to keep those ties together. Because people feel blown off if you don't and we would lose all our friends if I just refused to do it. He has like 3 friends of his own because he doesn't keep things going. And his parents are never kept in the loop and his mom texts me things and it's so tiring to feel like she's pissed at me for not keeping up with her and that's my fault I don't FaceTime her. I have a hard enough time facetimeing my own parents.

Trying to keep up...just been really busy. DS2 is 3 years old today. DD still hasn't cut a tooth and I am losing my mind - it affects her eating, sleeping, drooling, etc. So over it. DS1 has had major attitude lately. Swamped at work. So yeah. Feeling a little bit like I am drowning.

I want to read that link you posted @kitchen but I am not sure today is the day I should do so with how overwhelmed I am. But I am getting the general idea from other posts and totally agree.

Home inspection went great. We are even more in love with the place after spending 1.5 hrs in there. I want to just move NOW even though I know 7 weeks will fly by.

That's great news hikingmama222! I want to move there now too.

I agree with all comments on the Emotional Labor thing. I've always wondered if our relationship was like that because I am a bit of a control freak about things like budget, what we eat, etc. I thought maybe I started doing them and then he just didn't have to worry about them anymore so he didn't. But this is a different way of looking at it for sure.

We just got our family pictures back. I love them, I just wish O had been her smiley self. She looks spaced out in a lot of them. I'll post them on the private board (for a while at least).

I hope that feeling passes for you.  Sometimes this toddler/baby combo can be downright exhausting.

I use tapatalk and it asks me once every few weeks but mostly seems to keep me logged in.

Okay thanks guys. It was on my computer that it didn't ask me, it must have saved the password.
