I have a little bit of the sads. I miss having a running buddy lr two for races or just runs on the weekend with coffee or brunch after. I don't really feel like making new friends, I just miss my girlfriends (who are oddly all marathon running mothers of two littles too) and they live all over the world now. Stupid adventurous friends living their dreams and all I had my post race free beer all by my lonesome. The women who were in running groups though all seemed kind of bitchy and not fun though so I wouldn't even bother.
I think DH's goal this weekend was to annoy me. After everything from yesterday, he actually went to get E when she woke up this morning and brought her in to our room. Made a bottle and brought it to me, saying "here you feed her I have more homework to do". Now I try to be understanding about his homework, but this isn't even stuff that is due right now. He's working ahead! So you can't take a minute to feed E and then go do homework?!
Then he had M in the office with him while he was doing it... and fully admitted that he wasn't really paying attention to her. A 2 year old, left basically unsupervised, in a room with pens, markers, tape, candles, paper, scissors - it looked like a bomb went off. And when I walk in she's holding a pen, has markers all over her clothes, bits of a gel candle in her hair and is standing in a pile of paper clips. DH couldn't understand why I was upset by this.
So his solution was to take the girls for a walk. It's 102 out right now. Jesus.

We went to church today. It was nice to get out the house as a family. But DH work afternoon into the evening so I always have to cut my service short. I say some church is better than none but I might say skip it on the Sundays he work and stream it. Or take a second car. But I'd rather not take two cars.

Oh I'm enjoying the two kiddos taking a nap. And watching the neighbors behind me mingle. I'm sort of jealous. Between the three homes the center homeowners appear to be fun. They have two young girls who play with one set of neighbors. Anyhow, the neighbors on either side of us are loud and obnoxious. I can surely walk over because they are friendly. But what should I say?
I'm in a much better mood today. I went to church this morning without KJ because I joined my mentor for service at her church and it was around nap time. Afterward I went to a baby shower. I had a really nice time. Now I'm home and my DH is out with KJ. I'm. It not sure what to do with myself.
Hey peeps. Sorry I've been MIA this weekend. But I am kinda caught up- take my love tits as hugs or nut punches or high fives or whatever would be warranted.
We just dropped my H off at the airport. He's gone until Thursday. Oh and it is my first full week back to work. And I am totally not pumped about work. So no H and not thrilled about work is going to be awesome--- right?
megaroo64 you get to watch your own shows and still get a little adult interaction during the day? I liked watching dumb TV unjudged! H goes away again on October for a week but this time only to Milwaukee so I needn't be crazy jealous. Haha.
We just let Arlo float in the pool in his puddle jumper and use his bobbing head for an inner tube ring toss. It was hilarious and he loved it but probably would have gotten us judged in a Public pool!

Truth!! He does judge all my TV choices. Apparently, Bravo TV is by up to snuff for my H??
I think I'd be a little more pumped if my work wasn't being total assholes lately. They are acting like I owe them because they let me go to part time. Don't get me wrong, I am super grateful- but they wouldn't have done it if there wasn't something in it for them. They couldn't find a suitable replacement and now they are paying me half price when I do way more than half of the job I was doing when I was full time. I have stellar reviews, but they are watching me like a hawk like all of a sudden, I'm going to start sucking. So... There is my rant about that.
Our church has a nursery for babies under one, another nursery for one to three year olds, three to five year olds have a special lesson during the service, and once they are in first grade they sit through the service. Parents volunteer to help out on the nursery a few times a year. It works out nicely.

This is essentially our set up too. This morning B begged us to go in to the service- so we caved and told him if he was quiet he could. He lasted literally 30 seconds before he started yelling "hey mom- that's a railroad crossing! Do you see the railroad crossing!" While emphatically pointing at the cross. So.. That ended that.

This pretty closely matches our set up except that there's Sunday school all the way through high school. For the little ones it's really just daycare.
They're kind of pushy about parents volunteering. I had to tell them "no" while I was gone for two months. There was no guaranteeing that I could even get Lilly and I to church on time. In the fall, we'll probably make an effort to sign up to help at least once a month.
huckleberry08 like the toy opening ones. He loves those but they are odd!
I know!! D loves them too. And the playdough eggs.
Lilly also gravitated towards those. For some reason they creep me out. We ended up deleting the app and downloading the PBS app. It's much better for videos.

It's hard to make new friends especially when you have friends that sound as amazing as yours!

lioness13, thank you for the true concern. I agree that I need to work on communicating because our relationship has always been good bc we have communicated to each other what we are feeling. I always speak my truth. I guess some of this I've kept quiet bc in my head he's been real good about letting me take out my frustrations on him with my parents shit going on and it's been rough. I've been really angry at my dad and sometimes that anger towards him I'm aggressive at home.
He got a few words this weekend from his parents about his lack of helping which always helps
anustart1 does UU stand for universal Unitarian or something else?
Unitarian Universalist! DH was raised in it but I was raised catholic. It's a nice fit for us, feeling very traditional but progressive at the same time. And, Mary Poppins babysitter sealed the deal for me!

I took an online quiz and UU was almost a 100% match but I didn't know anyone who goes to one. I've thought about checking out our local place but was worried I would need to talk a lot. The website was a little intense.
