Take that tuesday

[aggiebug]

Tell me what's going on with you.

Sleeeeeppp! Just got off of work. It takes a little while to decompress and no matter how tired I am, I can never fall asleep right away. I'm also hoping to get called off of work for tonight because I have some stupid class in the morning. I would really hate to sit through a class after a 12 hour shift. There is a little break in between but I have a 40 minute commute so I would come home for like an hour and a half. Ok. Time for bed! Have a good everybody!

[aggiebug]

Sleep quick mmarie

@holachica I love seeing the growth! I hope all goes well.


I woke up with the start of possibly a head cold. Sinus pressure, congestion and a sore throat. When I realized I had no milk for a latte h sweetly ran to the Starbucks kiosk (in the store) and picked me up a chai. I love that man. The hot beverage made a big difference too. Now to get ready for the store so I can actually pick up groceries

[dmorgendorffer]

@holachica Good luck at the appointment! We have ours on Thursday, can't believe these babies are 9 months old already.

Just work today. Trying not to be too crabby but these nights of crappy sleep are catching up with me. I'm looking forward to being off next week even though we'll be down in SC visiting the ILs.

[lilyelayne]

@holachica yay for appointment!
mmarie sleep well
aggiebug feel better soon
dmorgendorffer to me one of the best parts about trips like that is handing off baby (clean, fed, well rested so I don't have to worry about a cranky hungry overstimulated baby) for family to play with and then taking a nap myself. Or lying down and playing on my phone.

I don't want to jinx it, but if H can make it to 1:00 without spiking a fever we may get to go home today. The pediatrician told me that he has to have had at least one dose of antibiotics and 24 hrs fever free before Sawyer could be around him. It has been a LONG week. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes, ladies.

[lilyelayne]

I think I jinxed myself saying I wanted a mancold. There's sure one in my house right now, and it's not mine.

[kaydee0402]

@holachica, aw, yay!
aggiebug, your husband is awesome.
hollydfromtn, FX that you guys can finally go home!
lilyelayne, feel better soon.

Little Man slept soundly in his crib until about 3 a.m. Then he woke up screaming, decided to stand and tried to lean over the rails in an attempt to escape. So it looks like we're dropping the crib down another level tonight. I swear, the kid has grown an inch over the last week. His 9 month clothes are no longer too long for him to wear, and his feet touch the ground so he can finally play in his walker. We also had to bump his jumparoo up another level because it was down too low.

Where did my little squish go?

Second day in a row pumping in the bathroom. Why can't people look at a freaking calendar? I'm not even sure it's worth telling HR about it because these same assholes can't wash their own dishes.

Speaking of assholes, there's this guy who's some kind of investor or something (on the "advisory board") who comes in everyday. He has an office and everything. He's the type that is douchey and always has to comment on stuff, and it's usually that teasing style that I hate. Well he came in while the hoodie part of my sweater is up on my head, because it's freezing in here. Of course he has to stop and say something. I always just kind of go, "heh" and maybe say something back, but it's so irritating. Just keep walking and don't say anything. Why are you even here? Ugh. I don't really engage him, so I don't know how to make him stop.

[dreemkin]

Swimming class for DD1 tonight. I didn't get a new phone yesterday bc we went out to dinner instead (ooops!) and grocery shopping was a priority over a new phone *humph*

[dreemkin]

Sending tea to all of us with colds!

[aggiebug]

Fyi if you have the target cartwheels app you can pick up an offer for 10% off the organic pouches 4p packs and if you buy 4 you get a $5 gift card on top of it. It has to be the organic pouches to work, but they are cheaper than the originals right now anyway. They have several other descent deals in there this week too.

[dmorgendorffer]

Sounds like a good deal aggiebug! I am so addicted to that damn Cartwheel app and I have definitely bought so much stuff I otherwise would not have because of it. Now I'll have to see if I can fit a trip to Target in this weekend.

Ha I am a fan of a good coupon,but I generally don't buy much beyond what I need. (although peppridge farm pumpkin swirl bread did jump in my cart today because of cartwheel)

[danitaec]

Oh, Tuesday, why do you feel worse than a Monday?

My new anti-inflammatory/pain meds made me have crazy dreams last night. I'm not feeling very rested. Our baby monitor is still broken so I don't know how the baby slept, but according to my mom he was pretty rough yesterday. It's gotta be teething, and bless his heart he seems so miserable. I told her today to give him something for pain if she felt he needed it. Bless his little heart.

Supposed to rehearse for our next musical tonight, but with the husband gone I don't want to throw off little man's schedule (especially since he's already crabby). I'm just the clarinet; they won't miss me too bad!

Hugs and chocolate and warm beverages to all who need them!

[cougarette]

Random noob question - what is the best paint to use for handprint/footprint crafts? I could look it up, but eh.

[hollydfromtn]

I'm posting from my couch, in my house, with a sleeping baby napping on my chest and a very happy husband sitting in the recliner. He still sounds awful, since he lost his voice and still has a bit of a cough, but he is so happy to have us back home.

I like rubber stamp ink.

Daycare uses tempera paints. Anything that washes off easily should work.

Yay! I am so glad you are back home and H is on the mend.

So far DS has been up every half hour screaming and promptly falling asleep on my shoulder. Just kept screaming at DH and wanted to nurse again when I took him. This does not bide well for tonight. Tooth 8 needs to hurry up.

[Deleted]

Hugs for all the poor sick F15ers!

danitaec I'm glad you let the doctor check your arm. Fx it heals fast. Sorry your LO is miserable

cougarette I used rubber stamp ink too, like badw0lf

Glad you are home @hollyfromtn!

Poor little seamonster boy! I hope you all get some sleep tonight.

FIL is here again and staying for the week. I don't really mind yet since he loves to play with DD which has given me time to do some chores I usually neglect, but I know it will be a strain by the end of the week. What is it they say about house guests and three days?

[Deleted]

Also, has anyone heard from WittyLittle?

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

If I didn't have responsibilities and bills I would so quit my job. Usually say this 2x a year this year we are working on 3-4 ....

That's how DH feels too. Except he says it 3-4 times a week. I told him to do it and we'll figure out the rest later. He won't, though.

[mmarie]

Well, I got called off of work. I'm still on call so I have to be ready to go in at any time but hopefully they don't need me! So DD and I spent the afternoon playing dress up and trying on all the winter things that I got on sale last winter when I was pregnant. Turns out, I actually did pretty good guessing at sizes and don't really need to buy anything! Maybe I can get lucky again this year and get stuff for next year when it goes on sale in a few months! I love a good bargain!

Heyyyyy! Yep sorry I've been absent again. Thanks so much for thinking of me!!! Life his been going fast and every day seems to be a race to get things done before attempting to get some sleep. How have you been doing??? I'm overdue for a catch up!

Jake has croup and I haven't slept in 4 nights. Though he was illness free for a whole week before that, for the first time since begin September! He ate and drank! YAY! But he also learned to crawl, stand and get himself into trouble every few minutes. I've had to have eyes in the back of my head, and bottoms of my feet Hence the lack of me-time at the moment. He also has serious sleep regression and wakes up every freaking 45 minutes... and refuses to nap. AAAAAAAAAH. He wants to "walk" 24/7 with us holding him up. When we stop he has a fit. Hilarious. Not  

My uncle died last week Saturday. He was an alcoholic who was in the process of divorsing his 2nd wife, who was highly abusive, 24 (at the time they married) and only after his money. There was a big police investigation because they thought she'd killed him, but in the end it was ruled a natural cause. They said it was a heart attack. His first wife (my aunt growing up) and her daughters (who I refuse to call my cousins) had abandoned him in recent years due to his escapades... But they decided to make the funeral all about them. They did not put my mom's or other aunt's name on the grieving card, or mention him as a brother, even though he was living with my mom for 6 months. They made horrible speeches that had nothing to do with the man he was or turned into with his alcohol problem. It was awful. 

At the same time I found a paper that is identical to the one I've been working on for the last 4 months, just using different keyterms. Sooooo I have a 6 month set back AGAIN to my PhD while I figure out what I can do. 

One of my students was critically injured in Paris last weekend. They thought he was dead because he wasn't in the hospitals, but they had registered him under a false name due to lack of insurance. 

So all in all that has been keeping us very busy. Jake will start going to daycare 2 days a week from January so I think that will make life easier. DH and I don't really see each other anymore!
