H bought our tickets to see Star Wars. I refused to go to a midnight showing or the Friday it comes out, so we're going that Sunday afternoon. H got his mom to agree to babysit last year so we could see it. He might be a little excited. The trailer that premiered last night looked good though!
Tickets are available? Oh man, I better tell DH. He was so funny yesterday - apparently Build-A-Bear is now making Star Wars bears. He insisted that we go make one for DS. First off, how did he come across Build-A-Bear? He's a 30 year old man. And secondly, I think he really wants the Chewbacca bear for himself. Don't use LO as an excuse, dude.
Edit - spelling of Chewbacca, apparently I can't spell at 5am in the morning.

ampaints I thought my husband was excited to see the new SW movie, but his happiness about that pales in comparison to his excitement to see the new James Bond mobie. He won't stop talking about it! So I know what our Christmas movie will be this year!
Today is supposed to be my last day of maternity leave. But instead of spending the day with my babies, I have to go into the office to pack up all my files. We had a flood in our office last week and we're moving to temporary space, so I have to pack up all my stuff today. Sigh.
I don't like waking up for the day when it is still dark outside. C woke up at 3 to eat and was just restless for a long time after that. I am whipped today. I wish I drank black coffee.
I am sitting in the parking lot for my first say back trying not to cry. This is harder than I thought it would be. I do not want to be here. Nor was it this hard last time. Today already sucks.
ampaints H wants to go so bad but we don't have a sitter and I have severe anxiety about leaving her with someone I don't know. So I might just send him alone. He nerded out so bad last night lol.
We're Orlando bound! Should get there around noonish. Sooooo excited ahhhhh Harry Potter woooorldddddd!
We got the 3 month shots out of the way with today. So hard to keep it together when the twins cry like that, but at least they took to their naps like ducks to water when we got home.

Never got to check in yesterday until late last night and by then the randoms thread was so huge. I responded to 1 post I think and gave up. I'm really enjoying my family...but not enjoying sleeping on the sofa. It sucks. Hope that everyone is doing well.
oopsiedaisies well damn. I'm pretty sure it was my post you responded to. Now I feel special
I think it was...regarding boob leakage...lol and of course you're special! :-). We were at the zoo yesterday and then last night I had a super cranky baby. I had to wake up H to help.

Tonight we're going to the 5th circle of hell that is Chuck E Cheese. Dd's preschool is doing a fundraiser there tonight so a portion of all proceeds go to her school. Oh, and I stopped in at the bf'ing support group last night and weighed Connor and he's 12.4 lbs!
I think we might do month-to-month instead of renewing our lease next week and try to get out of here by December. I used to like living here. It's fairly nice & inexpensive. But I'm just tired of too many things. My upstairs neighbors wear concrete shoes I'm pretty sure & work out about 5 times per day. They're also pissed that I reported that so they use the area in front of my apt as a dog park and never clean up after their dogs. We've had a persistent flea problem all summer. The complex waited until September to treat outside. They treated in our apt a month ago. I called last week bc they're back. She said they'd come Wednesday. They did but she only paid for a general pest treatment which didn't solve the problem whatsoever. I'm just sick of it. Hopefully we can find another decent apt that we can afford. We can't do a house... long story short, a man stole $3k from me about a year ago & it's ruined my credit. Ugh. Adulting sucks.

Hahaha. We just did a fundraiser for DS1's school there last night.
I am a big drinker of tea, and I have a big fuck-off cabinet in my kitchen full of teas I've bought and been gifted over the last 7 years. I've never drunk so much of it as I have in the last week, as I'm hastily trying to use it up before we move. I'm really enjoying actually using my teapots instead of being lazy and just chucking normal teabags in a mug, but I feel like a great big giant hipster.
Came downstairs to find two and four year olds in kitchen. Two year old pooped his pants. Peanut butter and poop everywhere. Impossible to distinguish between the two. Horror.

"A big fuck-off cabinet" takes me right back. I love how creative Brits are with the f word. Drink away! I go through tea phases. I imagine in the winter time I'll be back at it.
I do the phases too. Sometimes I'm all about the coffee, all the time. Weather definitely plays a part in drink preferences.
We're organising flights to Canada for our two cats. This is both painful (egad, it's expensive!) and hilarious.
DH is filling in the paperwork for the care of the cats (foods, medication, etc) and came across the final question "Is there anything else we can do for your cats that would make them happy and comfortable while we transport them?"
DH says "I'm tempted to put 'They like to be sung to in a falsetto voice while you wear flippers and a Noddy hat'."

Dh has a half day tomorrow so I asked him to go to the social security office to get our crap straightened out. They refuse to deal with me on the phone or in writing or via email, and I can't get there during office hours because I'm working and I can't bring A with me.
He flat out refused because "I don't know what to do." I don't fucking know either but we can't afford a nanny unless this shit gets taken care of!
I've called them and they insist on transferring me to "our case worker" but she's either a missing person or she quit and didn't tell them. It's been an answering machine since August. I've written them, nothing. I emailed them and they called back telling me it was changed but it wasn't fucking changed because we're still only getting 30 bucks! So one of us needs to go in person and handle this. I can't because of my hours and because I have A.

Put it down and see what happens.
I love to put random notes and requests on online pizza orders, they always read them and usually honor them or comment on them. That's kind of the same, right?

@janetheconquerer, hugs to you. Yesterday was my first day back and it was hard but then I had a revelation:
Me: Hmm, I need to look up the stuff for my meal plan. ..... Me: Oh shit, I can do that right now. There is literally nothing stopping me from being able to do that. *gets done meal planning* Me: This is why I can't be a FT SAHM.
But it still sucks and I get it. But I hope you enjoy that first moment you can go pee when you want, because that is awesome.
Yassss James Bond! Can't wait. H and I will definitely be doing a date night. joi922
@mrspanpan I bought B infant Vicks Vaporub because his chest always sounds super congested, but the packaging says its for babies 3 months and older so H doesn't want to use it yet..
Our neighbour brought over pumpkin gingerbread loaf. OMG sooo good, and I'm not skimping on the butter!
B slept 10:30 - 7:30. This is the 4th night in a row he's STTN. How did I get so lucky (even though he was a total bear most of the afternoon/evening).
Murphy's law. Today is my first day back at work. Baby slept like crap last night and DH also kept me up snoring once baby did go back to sleep. Great. I wish I still drank coffee. Baby will not take a bottle and also hates our nannny. She starts crying as soon as the nanny touches her. Fortunately my return to work is gradual so I'll only be gone for a few hours this afternoon. It sucks that baby will likely be crying and refusing to eat while I'm gone though. This has to get better.
Hugs to @janetheconquerer, joi922, and everyone else returning to work. This sucks.

Hugs to all the mamas going back to work.
I don't care what Goggle says. There has to be an 8 week growth spurt. Littlest Bones has been attached to my boob.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being no biggie and 10 being divorceable), how bad is it to watch continue a show you are watching with your SO? DH and I started Freak Show. I want to watch more but DH is at work. First world problems today.

Happy Tuesday -- been up since 3 a.m. with a super congested, sneezy, snotty 11 week old. I've been sick for almost three weeks. MH has been sick for almost a week. DD1 was sick last week, but seems to be better. We've been skin to skin since 7 a.m., but seriously there is nothing more pathetic than a baby with a bad cold. I'm so, so tired of being sick and housebound. Every time I think I might feel better and go out into the world, I just get sicker. Over it.
