My dogs. Stop barking at every single thing that goes by our house and whining at the back door because you want to go out and chase the damn lizards! I love them, but I am so over their shit right now while A is napping.
Yes my patience has never run thinner with my dog than when she wants in and out constantly only to bark at everything that passes. It's like she notices W is sleeping and decides that's the best time to alert us that the horde is attacking.
He gets gassy anyway but I feel like he was more gassy with the fenugreek. I took some this morning because it gotten so low again but I forgot to bring some with me to take while I'm at work.
I power pumped the last two mornings so hoping to see an increase tomorrow. I'm really wondering if I need to go back on the 21 day fix just because my production was higher on it but I'm not sure if that was because I had been simultaneous pumping and nursing with power pumping as well. I guess it wouldn't hurt to see just takes time I don't have for food prep. Grumble grumble.
i just made a batch of lactation cookies and they're actually really good and healthy and fillings. I could use these as a good snack since I'm always starving. Nom nom.

and by horde, my dog means a squirrel. Squirrel is in the tree. I must alert you to this squirrel by barking as loud as possible for the next 20 min no matter what you tell me. This squirrel is dangerous and OH MY GOD THE NEIGHBORS ARE GETTING IN THEIR CAR DO YOU SEE THIS BARK BARK BARK
Ladies, please stop calling yourselves twatwaffles. I mean, I get it, we're moms, super humans, but having lazy days and shutting out coworkers because you need to work does not equate you to twatwaffles. I'm not a feminist or anything (maybe just a touch?) but seriously, have you googled what twatwaffles look like?! None of you are close to it, and I know you all mean it in jest, but I don't like it. It's a bit too self-deprecating. You just gave birth, are sleep deprived, and still managing to do all the shit. You're pretty much awesome. stepping off now.
Sticking with the dog theme my dog is a TW for jumping up and licking my dinner.
I am equally a TW for forgetting that I locked her in her crate to punish her for licking said dinner and DH coming home 2 hours later asking me why she's locked up. She forgave me...
One last thing, motownthrowdown, you should not feel bad about giving your dogs to the in laws. 1. Your dog is at your in laws, not on the street, or the pound 2. Your baby has had two major surgeries, and she has a shunt. My nephew can't tolerate loud sharp sounds, for some reason it gives him a stabbing pain in the head. Until your daughter can express herself more clearly, you have all the right to excersize all the precautions.
Tw are the family members who continue to point out that W has big ears. All the boys on my dads' side have big ears that stick out. W has somewhat large ears but they don't seem to stick out a bunch. To us at least. However, every family member who meets W constantly talks about his big ears. Eta: wrong picture
I mean they're not huge enough to mention constantly.
@missava387, I hope you are feeling better emotionally as the night has gone on.
packmomma, W is an absolute doll! Family members just need to run their mouths sometime unfortunately.
Ok I seriously need to straighten up my classroom before conferences. Keeping track of 24 five year olds paper work and my own stuff has gotten me feeling like I am spinning out of control. So my classroom is the tw for not organizing itself LOL.
abvintage do you do oatmeal for breakfast? Steel.cut oats are the best for supply.
I do all the things but TBH this week it's been instant oats because I've been waking up late every day so I just use what they provide at the office. I need to get back to the steel cuts.
packmomma that would drive me nuts too. Next time start comparing your sons ears to a random feature of THEIR kids, ex: really? You think he has big ears? Maybe he will grow into them, I mean, your kid started with a big nose remember? Look how well he/she turned out. Let's see them react to that! Clearly i am a mature person.
I was finally getting into a rhythm with being back out on the street, and arranging Liam's childcare. It was working out and I was feeling comfortable again. So of course, a wrench has to be thrown in the works. I've been "asked" (i.e. told) to become the admin sergeant. This means desk duty/office work again. I just did 9 months of that--I like being out on the street. And it means my schedule would change, so I have to rearrange everything again.
The pros are that I would basically be able to make my own schedule MOST, but not all, of the time. I don't have to worry about getting hurt on the street (for the most part--I would still have to work the street every 6 weeks), or getting involved in an annoying investigation/complaint. I wouldn't have to worry about getting home late mostly either.
The cons are that I would be dealing with admin paperwork all day, and basically fixing the mess that previous admin sergeants have created. I didn't become a cop to work an office---in fact I became a cop to get OUT of the office. Also, my direct supervisor is very difficult to work with. But he basically begged me to do it. I don't blame him--the admin office has been a mess for awhile. But I dunno if I can fix it.
It doesn't really matter. I don't have much of a choice. I guess I'll give it a shot. If I really don't like it, I can always go to the Commander to ask to be put back in patrol. I'll see what they have to offer in terms of scheduling. I'm worried that they'll think I'll want to work regular 9-5 hours. I don't--I like the hours I work now. I get to hang out with Liam in the morning/early afternoon and I don't have to deal with traffic.
Ugh.
I also need to ask for a week off coming up. Currently, my brother is on emergency leave from his work/Marines (he was deployed overseas) to care for my parents while they undergo their cancer treatments. But he has to take care of some work stuff for a week, so he asked if I could come up. I just don't know whether I should bring Liam. On the one hand, I know they would love to see him. But they are going to be very sick, and I'm not sure if I can take care of them and Liam.
Cancer is a twatwaffle. And work. Why can't things just be easy?

This made me laugh so hard. I'm now thinking of different features their kids have. just so I can think it REALLY hard in my head. ;p

Cancer is always the twat waffle! I'm sorry you're dealing with so much and to have entire routine thrown up into the air sucks too. Hopefully with that you can get a schedule you like.

There is a brand called Better Oats that has steel cut and they are ready in the microwave in 2min! Really good too
