Dh only makes 6 cups of coffee in the pot, which equates to one "cup" for me. I asked him to at least make 8 and got a lecture on drinking too much coffee...really, who gets up at night dh?
I have to be at work 30 minutes early for a meeting this morning, not fair of work to mess with my schedule like that. I think we're on track to get out of the house at 7 though. At least my boss is buying breakfast.
I took something out of the freezer to thaw a little last night and forgot to put out back in the fridge. When I got up the meat was not at all cool, so sad I wasted that beef. Now I also have to figure out what to cook for dinner.
Not looking forward to today or the rest of the week/end. Meeting at 1p... client is in town so it's sure to be extremely boring. Then work an hour away 9p-1a tonight. My poor SO will only get 2 hours of sleep tonight since I won't be home until 2 & he has to get up at 4.
At least the client is providing pizza at the meeting.

When I go back to work I have to drop both kids off at day care at 7 when the school opens. Then I have to drive 50 minutes to work to be in at 8. I'm a teacher so I don't have any flexibility with my arrival time. I think I'm going to have to wake up by 5 to pump, feed her and get myself and them ready to go. For those of you with similar schedules how do you do it? I am not a morning person at all!!!

Could you look into daycare closer to school? Do you have anyone (family) that could do the drop? The possibility of traffic or an issue at drop off would stress me out with such a tight schedule. Could you talk with the daycare about dropping the kids a few mins early?
With just one kid I would be waiting at the daycare with it opened at 7 to drop DD off to allow be to be at work on time. This meant I was in the car 6:40 am without exception. I would also have everything packed and ready to go the night before - outfits laid out, breakfast ready to go, coats & shoes ready etc. It helped keep some of the morning stress at bay.
Eta- I was also up an 45 mins before DD to get ready without interruption. She sometimes go up early but I left her in bed until her time to wake up to keep schedule.

I have no idea. Ideally I would get to work at 7:45 which means I need to have both kids dropped off at two different places by 7:10. I am hoping I can get baby on some sort of wake-up schedule so she can be fed right before we head out, or I will have to send 5 bottles. I am thinking 5 is the absolute latest I can get up if we want to leave the house at 6:55 and all be dressed.
hiimjamie I 2nd the idea of cuddling all day long. Hugs
My 4 year wedding anniversary is today. It's the food or flowers anniversary so I'm making H an apple pie. Here's hoping it turns out. Also, he took tomorrow off to go to W's 2 month appointment so we're going to stay up and watch a movie tonight (I have been going to sleep as soon as W had been down so not a lot of grown up time).

I love this daycare, my best friends mom works there and it is Montessori which works so well for my son. Luckily it is five minutes from my home. Wish I had soemthing closer to work but I'm can't risk leaving such a great place. Unfortunately we don't have any family/friends that can drop off the kids
I like your suggestion about having everything ready the night before. I need to work on this because I am always last minute! I just don't want to run around and feel exhausted by the time I get to work. Time to start practicing getting it all ready the night before!

I also teach and have a long commute. I bought a car adapter and plan to do my morning pump in the car!
hiimjamie, huge hugs. I went back this week too - part of me likes getting out of the house and getting adult interaction again. Part of me really misses being with my kids all day, even though I know I'm better as a working mom than a SAHM. It's definitely hard.
I second spending the day snuggling with your LO on the couch.
We survived our first plane flight with all three girls yesterday (but my mom was with us, totally cheating) and thanks to the exhausting day DD3 slept from 10:00-7:00. She nursed for 20 minutes, and now she's back asleep. Bam.
I'm the only person here for the office meeting so far. I'm kind of pissed because I lost 30 minutes with Miles this morning. Get your shit together people.
So, finally almost fall asleep around 6, and N decided he's going to wake up. Now he's nursing half asleep, dd is awake watching jungle junction, and I'm trying to keep my eyes open.

Good morning! This is like, the 5th time we've been up. Jack is still snotty and miserable. Vicks, NoseFrita, bottle, repeat. On the upside, I ordered this scarf in all 3 colors just now. Kickin' it #catladystyle
Last day of maternity leave. I constantly feel like I might start crying.
Someone gave me this tip when I went back to work with DS. Write JRYADTFYS on a sticky note and post it where you can see it. Just Remember You Are Doing This For Your Son. It helped to look at it when I was feeling emotional about leaving home. I had a really tough time with it too. Big hugs to you!
Finally got better sleep last night. Still not good, but most assuredly better! It's almost DDs nap time, DS is content in the floor doing tummy time for now.
I need to make bread dough for stromboli for dinner tonight. Planning on getting a couple more boxes unpacked and working on laundry. Hoping to get out to the grocery store today as DHs parents and one of his brothers plus wife are coming for dinner Saturday and I need to be able to feed them.
We're working on potty training DD... So far she has been doing okay, we'll see if that continues though. I know she is ready, I'm just not able to help her as much as I need to be able to.
Just sent a txt to H that was intended for my best friend... It said, " "insert H's name" is such an ass.."
Oops. Yay for starting the day off fussing.
The interview was for a different position with the same company I interviewed with last week and on Monday. I came home and starting listing the ways I'm not qualified for this position and reasons I'd hate it. H is basically forcing a new job on me. I get it. I complain about my current job. Please do not get mad at me when I say I would suck at/hate this job. Not cool. Hence the ass txt..

Where did Wednesday go? So freaking sick still - when I went to Urgent care 2.5 weeks ago they said it was viral, but here's an rx for a zpack if you're not better in a week or so. I caved and filled the rx yesterday. I feel exponentially better today, but still feel like crap. There is just NO TIME to sleep. Grateful for the broken up six hours I did get, but some consecutive sleep would be awesome.
Meetings meetings meetings today. I hate being back to work, even if it's from home and it's only 20 hours (I go back full time after Thanksgiving). Im trying to convince my husband to take a job 6 hours away in another state where it's cheaper (but not near any family) and I can then be a SAHM. As it is though, we NEED my salary and my benefits.
I've been pity party shopping while sick the last week and a half. I bought three - THREE! - new woven wraps. Two have arrived, and I love them equally. I know the same will happen with the third. I don't know why we NEEEEEEED my salary.....
