DS and I had a rough night. Maybe tooth 8 is giving it another go? No fever and only a little practicing crawling. Mostly screaming that I put him down. He was class 5 clingy all weekend. Not a wonder week.

Sorry seamonster, DD had rough nights all weekend too. It was especially tough since DH was out of town all weekend so it was just me and her. Hope these babies start sleeping soon!
So far only me and the woman who sits in the office behind my desk are here this morning and I've been listening to her cough pretty much since I got here. In addition to it being super annoying to listen to someone cough nonstop I am getting angry that she is here coughing her disgusting germs all over the office. She's had whatever this cough thing is for at least 2 weeks. I'm tempted to get up and shut her office door for her.
dmorgendorffer Sorry you had a rough weekend. I hate coworkers who come in sick and infect everyone. They make me want to walk around their desks spraying lysol until they get the hint.
Dropped DS off at preschool prep class this morning, and now DD is napping. So I get to watch junk tv off my dvr and just relax for another 40 min, before heading back to pick up DS. Probably just going grocery shopping today. Nothing too exciting.
I have been pretty serious about my diet and exercise lately and it is showing on the scale. I'm really happy. I just need to keep it under control during the holidays. Baby class this afternoon, then headed to my parents' for a few days.
You look GREAT What are you doing for exercise and when do you fit it in during the day? I'm holding steady with 30 minutes of cardio 5x a week but I've been struggling balancing house/work duties that should also be done during her nap time.
I'm still busting my butt with my etsy shop this week...I have 5 orders ready to go and 6 more to process. A lot of people have December/New Years destination weddings. Who knew?
So the official word from the doctor is that I have a "rotator cuff injury". Not a full tear, but definitely some soft tissue damage. Gave me some pain meds and an anti-inflammatory, and some exercises to get back range of motion. Follow-up if I feel I need to in 4 weeks. Now that he's twisted my arm in every different direction it hurts like a mother; the prescription is called in but I don't have it here at school and I am hurrrrrting. Yay Monday!
Due to repeated meet-ups with the floor, (because the baby has learned to stand in the crib and knock it off) our baby monitor won't keep power. Husband is supposed to be calling the company today, as it has a 1-year warranty on parts and power supply. We got it November 24 last year so hopefully he'll get it taken care of. On the plus side, no little alarms to wake us up? It does freak me out that I can't peek at him.
It's been a month and a half of these early wake ups. I'm so sick of them. My only hope now is that it's bc of these front teeth. Both are just breaking through the gums. Please let this be the end of it. I'm not asking for 7:30 or even 7 but I don't think 6:30 is too much to ask for is it?!? Is it?!?

I stayed up way too late last night watching the Once Upon A Time two hour special, which was amazing. Tonight I have to start getting my butt in gear to get things together to go out of town for Thanksgiving. I hate packing.

*side eyes DS* Did my baby just dance for the first time? He never cares one way or the other about the music I play for him. Loves anything I sing but doesn't seem to notice recorded music. I'm not convinced, but he seemed pleased until he got distracted by a toy. ... Really, baby? Coheed and Cambria?

Happy Monday! Thanks to the planner thread on parenting I've now started a bullet journal. I really need something to help with my mom brain. Just when you thought pregnancy brain was bad...
I also hope it helps with daily house upkeep. I'm tired of it always feeling so dirty, but I get overwhelmed and unfocused in the evening. Maybe a roomba will be on sale on black Friday?

That thread is amazing! It makes me want to start one. I've started sort of planning mine out and spiraling on pinterest to find a layout that I like. Is yours all color coded and creative with stickers and stuff or is it minimalistic? I feel like I would only be able to keep up with colors and stickers for so long.

Thanks, lilyelayne. I'm so glad S and I are not sick too. It sucks not being with H though.
We had our BWI meeting this morning and I did my first back wrap! Of course I didn't think to take a pic. Hopefully S wakes up happy from his nap and I can try again. His second top tooth finally cut through yesterday, so fx we get a break from teething for a bit. His gums on the bottom still look really swollen but there has been zero progress down there. It's been a month, if not longer, since his gums got really angry and swollen.
Nothing much going on here today. I have to work tonight. I feel like I have been working a TON lately and these 12 hour night shifts are kicking my ass. The few days off I do have, I end up sleeping when DD naps and I'm up all night. We haven't left the house much all month. Paychecks will be nice though because I am only scheduled for 6 shifts in December.

It's fairly basic, but I do have some color coding. It's definitely not as elaborate as some of the ones on pinterest.

cougarette I'm getting ready to start a bullet journal too. I just need to find a journal I like. I was going to get a moleskin, but my target only had them in a weird pink color. :/

cougarettemmariehollydfromtn I started a bullet journal because of that thread. I love it! It's pretty minimalistic but it's definitely helping me. I started it at the beginning of November.

I'll be looking for a roomba on a Black Friday sale, too cougarette! My baby HATES the vacuum, which isn't really compatable with 3 humans, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. Today was our last week with our house cleaner, who was coming every other week to do the downstairs. RIP clean microwave and stove.
I swam competitively for many, many years and rotator cuff injuries are painful and lingering I've had my fair share and it is the reason why I had to quit swimming. I can only imagine shoulder soreness with a 9 month old baby.
If you are really struggling with LO, is a cortisone shot an option? Don't be afraid to call and discuss with your doctor if you are uncomfortable (of course--all while following instructions for rehab and healing).
