I think I'm skipping mom's group this AM. I'd be late if I left now and I'm feeling lazy.
I'm going to my parents' for dinner since H is working late and I need to find warmer pants for LO/a fleece suit that fits her. She has a 9 months that is too big and my mom picked up a 6-13 months Gap one that she didn't realize starts at 17 lbs.

Carters has their fleece sleepers on sale for $8! Not sure how much they normally are but Mal is going to need them soon so might as well get them while they are on sale.
Jude slept 6.5 hours last night...is this real life?
The plus to pumping: I got to escape during PSAT duty for a little while today. Sitting in one room with the same kids all day is torture. I couldn't handle elementary.
I had a sleep deprived emotional meltdown last night and told DH he was on his own with the baby for the night. Then I locked myself alone in the bedroom and slept for nine hours. I could have easily gone three more but whatever. It was glorious.
H got free tickets to a murder mystery dinner where he works. He works an hour away, though, and I'm not sure I want to leave LO that long. I'm so lame, I know.

I totally dressed LO and I in matching clothes by accident. Black sweats and orange Halloween shirts. I didn't mean to although it was the same thought process for both of us: well you can only wear the Halloween clothes for so long I guess it's close enough.
Also LO had a two hour nap late yesterday afternoon which was fabulous but then he thought it was time to get up for the day at 4:36 am which was not so glorious.
Edited because I used the wrong form of "to" and couldn't deal with leaving it like that.
DD is sick, and DS is seriously a saint for loving us as much as he does, lol. I feel like he's gotten such a shaft lately between teeth last week and sick/vaccinations this week. Mine and DD's sleep hasn't been stellar. But last night I took some time to lay down with him while he went to bed and we talked as much as a 2 year old can. He mostly laid there smiling at me but also listed all our family members saying we're all happy. He's the best.
This afternoon I'll have the Jays game on. Hopefully can get DD wrapped up and happy and get us all outside for a bit sometime too, that would be nice.
I was going to post in the randoms thread on Monday, but then felt like I didn't have any random that was good enough. Today, I have plans to walk over to our used kid's stuff store and get some long sleeved things for E. I have two coupons and should be able to get some good deals!
Ugh....S decided that 3am was an acceptable time to get up....I was not OK with that. Gave her the binkie and she slept till 5. Much more appropriate time to wake up.
DS is FINALLY doing well on the potty! He woke up dry this morning and went on the potty without fighting me. I got them to school and he goes, "I gotta pee, momma!!" so we ran to the bathroom and he was still dry and went potty! Thank the lord! I need to him to move up to the preschool room when he turns 3 because he and one of the two year old teachers butt heads and it's starting to cause behavior problems.
I am way more excited than I should be for fish tacos for dinner tonight.
Joolschweets I totally made apple snickerdoodle bread this morning because we have gone apple picking twice and have a shitload of apples. No shame. Send your neighbors to me with their apples. Weight-loss can take a hike this week. I'm tired and I'm going to eat some suuuuugggggaaaarrrrr

I am grumpy today. I'm sore from working out, feeling drained from my flu shot , and have a headache for some reason.
LO is feeling under the weather as well, he has a cold and now had a fever from his vaccines yestetday.
Mostly I'm irritated with my H. He is on weight loss kick...for both of us. I obviously still have baby weight but I really don't have enough energy to worry about that right now. I told him he can make my meals and I will try. Well, he has decided to calorie count for me and comment about my choices, which I hate.
He told me yesterday that with my coffee drink (espresso with chocolate milk and a little hazelnut syrup), oatmeal, and homemade lunchable I will have used up half my daily calories. No sir, that can not be half of my food for the day, I'm feeding you're child with my body.
It turns out he was caculating for both of us (we weigh the same!) for losing 2 lbs a week! I think he meant 2 lbs every 2 weeks but still.
On top of that he labeled my food (that he made which is great) with the calories which makes me feel really self-conscious of myself and my eating habits. Gah!

The 4 month sleep regression combined with the 4th leap is just plain evil...I remember DS having a really hard time going to bed but this waking up a bazillion and 1 times a night is getting old. 8 times just from 1130-3....I then stopped counting. I know this too will pass. (Doesn't help we recently stopped swaddling arms and that we're pretty sure she's teething).
I know she will sleep when she's good and ready, just makes caring for a 2 year old a lot harder when you're sleep deprived
DH went into work at 6am yesterday and got home at 10pm. I saw him for a whole 2 minutes yesterday during the day and maybe 3-5 minutes last night before I fell asleep. C didn't see him at all. Today- not any better. DH was up at out the door before 6 (C was still sleeping) and he has to teach tonight so he won't be home until after 9:30. He's off site today so even if I went to the shop he won't be there.
Also, my MIL is driving me nuts with this new house! Calm the f down lady- yes it's exciting but I'm trying not to get too excited in case the bank comes back saying they won't cover it. (I don't know why they would but still.) And also, it's my house- do not tell me what bedroom you already picked out for my child! Basically I'm just super crabby today!
I'm pumping at work right now and wishing I had a more comfortable chair that I could snooze in. I seriously just want 15 minutes of quiet sleep.
H has been snoring light a freight train lately. Last week I slept on the couch one night because I couldn't take it. This week he's been feeding E at midnight though so i go to bed first and get to fall asleep in peace, out helps... But didn't stop him from walking me up with snores MOTN.
mirage86 I don't think there is such thing as a "good enough" random. I'm sure everyone is up for anything posted in randoms. At least I am.
littlemissgrump Best line ever: "No sir, that can not be half of my food for the day, I'm feeding your child with my body. " Good luck with YH!
My random: I really am struggling with behavior/defiancy in my K classroom. I've tried everything. I am trying my best to remain patient, but that is wearing very thin. Any ideas anyone? I'm thinking of doing a class reward jar and hoping that will get this 1 child to shape up. Right now I use class dojo, which is an online individual behavior monitor that is linked directly to the parents. It works with every child, except this one. I've tried ignoring his inappropriate behavior and praising the good, but when you write on furniture and touch my things I just can't. I'm in contact with mom on the daily. Please teachers I need something to work!
2nd random: I was running up the stairs to catch the train and wiped out. I have a knot on my knee from falling on the cement and a headache from banging my head on the wall. Ow!

I'm in charge of buying a group baby shower gift for a coworker and I'm going to target tonight after the baby is asleep. I'm looking forward to it almost as much as Christmas....no time limit, a nice hot Starbucks drink, and a leisurely stroll through EVERY department if I so choose. It's going to be absolute bliss

stinybean do you know if there's something going on behind the scenes? Family trouble or anything? Maybe the kid is acting out out if a need for love? Or the child just isn't disciplined at home? Maybe get the school guidance counselor involved?
stinybean, can you do an individualized behavior chart for him? Like, give him a paper one and have him earn stickers or something. I used Dojo last year and I loved it!
budders I would have died. We didn't have any accommodated testing this year. It's really hard to get it from College Board. And I wasn't actually monitoring the test this year. I had a class of freshmen. We were supposed to be teaching them about building good habits. We did all of the activities that admin set up in 1.5 hours...and then we watched Matilda.
