Win - Flu is gone and I'm down 4 lbs. Whine - Cosette was up 3 times last night for no apparent reason except she wanted me in bed with her. ergh. I'm tired.
I try not to bash on H or keep "score" of the things I do vs him because he really is a great dad and does fix stuff around the house buuuut omg this morning was just bad!
I got up 3x with the kiddos last night, not for long but ugh still 3x getting woken up etc.
Then elise gets up 30min earlier than normal so I get up get her her milk and Vera her bottle, shower, pump, dress myself, then BOTH girls, fix Vera her food and bottles for the day. All while H makes himself scrambled eggs and sits and eats his breakfast. Ughhhhhhhhhh and he wonders why I'm in a bad mood?!?

Whine: I studied my ass off, got help from multiple sources, and I still got a 75% on my econ mid term, which is an F in MBA land. I was up crying for most of the night because if I don't get a minimum of a B in this and my finance courses I am out of the program. I was stressed about Stats, but I ended up with an A in this. I never thought for a second I might fail out of the program. I am an emotional wreck.
Win: Tyler and I danced to the Witch Doctor song (Oooh ee oooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang) for like a half an hour this morning. It was so cute and definitely put a smile on my face.

Win: It's my birthday!!
Whine: A is still sick with his eye-gunkiness. H is taking him to the doctor today. I went to work because that sounded like the more fun thing to do on my birthday.

Whine: My house is a complete disaster. Crap EVERYWHERE, complete chaos. It made me a stir crazy psycopath all weekend dealing with the mess of it all. Win: The movers are at the house right now packing it all up in a truck and my H is there project managing the move and cleaning up after while I sit at my desk!!!! Also, yesterday was our Vice President's birthday, so my day started with cake...so basically totally WIN
Whine: I now have varicose veins on my ass. Two small ones under my cheek on the left side (almost where my butt meets my leg). For anyone keeping track I have crotch varicose veins, a ridiculously swollen pubis area, and now varicose veins on my ass. My calves are also starting to hurt to the point where I can no longer sleep at night. I have compression knee-high stockings, compression leggings, and compression tights. I have to wear something everyday now just to boarder line function, and none actually help my crotch issues. The only time I do with out is when I am sleeping but now I am thinking that I will have to start sleeping in them as well because I obviously can't sleep without them.
Whine: Compression anything are fucking EXPENSIVE and I have to hand wash everything.
Win: I went to return the maternity jock strap I bought to Amazon and they told me that they would refund my purchase and I didn't have to bother with sending anything back. That's pretty awesome.
Whine: Emma is getting sick...again. We were supposed to go meet my good friend's newborn baby this weekend but we'll likely have to postpone. He just turned two months old and we haven't been able to meet him yet because someone in our household is always sick!
Win: We are closing on our home refinance today. Glad for the process to be over and glad we'll be paying essentially the same monthly, but less interest for a shorter period of time. And now I really want to focus on doing some upgrades since I don't foresee us moving in the near future.

Win: My H was totally awesome and slept on the floor next to Riley last night so she'd actually go to sleep in her bed (she wanted to sleep in ours but I had visions of puke all over us, the bed and the dog).
Whine: It's freaking freezing here (per usual) and I can't warm up. I'm sitting at my desk with my winter jacket on and am thisclose to putting my gloves on too.
Win: My parents came for the weekend and we had so much fun!
Whine: They had to leave this morning and we probably won't see them for another 2 months.
Win: I found someone to join me on the Budweiser tour when I'm in St. Louis next week!

laurski81, girl, I so wish you could have some wine right now. This pregnancy is not being fair to you at all! Little Henry II/Henrietta better be the best damn sleeper in the world for all the trouble s/he is putting you through!

Win : Gage pooped this morning.
Whine : he cried the whole time and it was the bloodiest it has been. Nothing has worked so we are having him go in tomorrow during Ellison's well baby. Poor guy I felt horrible wiping him. And we will eat a half day of daycare. Tomorrow was going to be his first day back since Ellison was born so we were going to do a half day. He was actually happy about going and didn't cry when we brought it up. Oh well maybe next week.

bantyrooster, poor Gage. That sounds awful! I hope the doc has some answers for you.
Whine: I have a ton of crap to do before we leave on Thursday Win: I LEAVE FOR VACATION ON THURSDAY!!! SOON I'LL BE DOING THIS:
and this:
Whine: That means I have to wear a bathing suit soon Win: I'm actually caught up at work so this week shouldn't be too bad. Whine: both kids were up last night (sounds like it was common for most of our kids) So basically I was up from 3-5. Win: At the bank today the teller asked me if I'd be interested in her giving my name out for picking up a part time bookkeeping job.

Whine: someone stole my credit card info and bought $2000 worth of jewelry and a hotel room in Nassau. I had to destroy my card and now have to wait for a new one. Win: the card company caught it and started declining so no more fraudulent charges could occur. And we aren't responsible for the charges. Mondays are stupid.
snickers4everyone, CC scammers are frustrating, I'm glad you got it figured out and aren't liable. But it happens so often nowadays. I tend to only use my credit card versus my debit card because the banks don't cover these charges as well as the credit card companies. H's debit card was compromised and it took 6 months for them to cover it and he had to "float" that money until they did. AND it wasn't a guarantee that they were going to cover it.
Whine: Keira has pink eye in both eyes and a lingering ear infection (we're on antibiotic round #2). Win: I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday! Whine: It's unpaid leave since I'm not off probation until next Monday. womp womp.
Win: I've lost 10lbs since January 1st and it's like having a brand new wardrobe, being able to fit into old clothes again. Whine: It was H's birthday this weekend and I feel off the WW wagon.
Whine: I found a lump in my boob and the doctor thinks it is a cyst, but wants me to get an ultrasound to be sure. I am freaking the fuck out. Win?: The nurse at the doctor's office realized that I will make myself sick worrying about this and was able to get me in for the ultrasound this afternoon.

Yes yes yes to the bolded! We never use our debit cards for this exact reason. I would hate for our "actual" money to be stolen and unavailable while the bank investigates.

meow84, FX it's just a cyst and nothing to worry about. I'm glad they're getting you in right away so you can know for sure! Please update us when you can.
