My H locked his keys in his work van last night. I was trying to use Talk to Text while I was at work to ask him if he looked up "Locksmiths" but apparently I need to enunciate (and proofread) because it sent asking if he looked up "laxatives". He was very confused by that text, LOL!

@bubbs119 yay for late sleeping babies! Mine also decided to go back to STTN (woo!) so I was able to get uninterrupted sleep. Which my body needed, I could feel the sniffles coming on:(

PSA- all Britax click tight convertibles are up to 25% off! If you have a BBB near you I believe you can stack the 20% off coupon on top of that. Sale goes until the 13th.
I came down with a barfing stomach thing hard and fast last night and ended up going to bed with Nyquil at 7:30. Meaning, DH was on his own with both kids all night. I woke up feeling marginally better and decided to let DH sleep because i heard the baby up a lot overnight. When i picked him up he was wet. Great. A diaper leak... Except no. The baby had no diaper on at all under his pajamas. Im going to err on the side of DH must have just been delerious and just judge him silently.
There are people in my classroom again. It sounds like they're huddling around the door to the closet where I pump.
My mom forgot to mention that O only ate 4 oz of each bottle yesterday. Bottles are 4-5.5 oz depending on how pumping went. Because he refused to eat more, we saw each other 3 times last night. I checked Wonder Weeks and we're in the middle of a leap. That explains the fussy, cranky, whiny, dissatisfied baby I've had the past few days. Good thing, only 19 more days of the leap. It makes me wish I hadn't gotten the app because whenever I check it it just makes me sad.
Does anyone have a wedge in their crib? I'm going to get one bc he refused to sleep flat and this swing thing has to stop. Successes?

We had our first ever "awake but drowsy" success last night! How exciting! That was about 8PM. 2 solid hours of quiet sleep.. I got so much done, and then I started trying to sleep about 10PM. CAN NOT SLEEP. SO snoring so loud in my ear. Go to couch. 10:30 baby wakes up 1st of 472358946 times. 11. 12. 1. 2. 3. 4:30 I wake up SO and kick him to the couch and take baby in bed with me. Wide awake. Bottle. 6:30AM finally sleep til 8:30. So we had an "awake but drowsy" success and yet still I slept for 2 hours. ZOMBIE.
I have also somehow neglected to add that my Christmas music playlist for cookie baking includes the likes of Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child..kitchen DANCE PARTY!
I'm being a little PW in here right now but I finally decided to just walk away from DD in the crib after reading everyone's success stories in here today for her morning nap. The lack of napping for her is taking a toll on both of us and I obviously needed to change the routine. She only cried for about 5 minutes and has been out for over half an hour now which has been the biggest success n the crib for a long time! Ahh I am so happy!
ETA she made it an hour! Between that and pumping out a batch of sugar cookies with DS, this morning was a good parenting win!

Another convertible car seat PSA: I was perusing the car seats in BBB yesterday, looking at the Chicco next fit - we just got a 2nd car so we need another carseat. Anyways, the employee working in that section told me that in January, the Chicoo NextFit Intrigue (the red one) will be going on sale (its $299 now and he thinks the sale will be $250), plus you will get a $100 BBBgift card with purchase. You can also stack the 20% off coupon. Will be purchasing this in January!
Where are you getting the 20% off coupon, and does it work online?

They usually send them to me in the mail, you can use Bed Bath & Beyond ones there too. Usually if you have a paper copy you can't use it online, but if you put your email in on their website they'll send them to you there as well!

Think it would work online? The nearest BBC to me is an hour away
Speaking of diapers mh'a grandma watched ds1 once for an hour and of course in that hour he pooped so she had to change his bum. Anyway, we go to pick him up and the diaper is on backwards. Like how the hell...like did you not notice how hard it was to put the sticky things behind his back??
My stepdad did the same thing. I get that he hasn't changed diapers in quite some time...but maybe the picture on 5 he front would be a clue? Then again, if I tell him that, the kids going to end up with backwards pants...

As long as you had an online offer I'm pretty sure it would!

I don't have a wedge, but for T's PNP, WR just folded up a big beach towel and put it under the mattress. It lifted it enough that she's on a slight incline. And we can slowly lower it until she's flat. She's been doing pretty good with it.
Just saw this article from consumer reports about switching to a convertible seat. I always assumed it was a convenience and comfort factor, not anything safety related. Good to know!
ETA: By not safety related, I meant with the exception of the height & weight cutoffs on the infant seat.
People are getting excited about this; however, using an infant car seat with a 1 year old is not something I can personally imagine myself doing ever anyway.
I had my formal observation today by my principal and assistant principal. I had one student with no meds who was basically swinging off the rafters (he DEFINITELY NEEDS meds), one who came in and told me flat out that she likes being mean and hurting people because she's a bad person (so she was very obstinant the whole lesson), and two kids that feed off the other chaos. So that's four kids off out of the six in my room. Also, T decided to wake up at 11:30, 1:30, and 3:30 last night. SO TIRED.
However, in spite of all that, both my principal and AP said the lesson was awesome and I handled everything very well. Observation win.
I took tomorrow off, AND I'm still taking T to daycare. Sorry not sorry.
Kids have been sick all day here at school. I'm terrified of what I've picked up.
H sent me a picture of LO and she's so mismatched. He took her out Christmas shopping earlier, too. You'd think she didn't have any cute outfits or anything!
budders Thank you friend. This year has been tough. My heart just isn't in it, and I am constantly second guessing myself because I know I'm not putting as much into it as I have in the past. But my curriculum coordinator is fantastic, and real, and she told me that I won't be able to put as much into it as I have before since I am a mom now. And she said it will take a while to adjust and be okay with that, and to know that my best is good enough, even if I don't feel like it is. Does that make sense?

I'm so sorry you're having a rough year. Teaching is beyond hard! Hang in there and I'm glad your eval went so well!

So much sense. I am living the same struggle right now, but more experienced colleagues assured me that it's normal.
+1 I keep feeling like I'm a bad teacher now. It helps that I have a teacher friend on my team who is more experienced with the adjustment after having a baby. She has a 2 year old and a 9 month old and keeps reassuring me that it gets better/easier.
You know you are a grown up when you are RIDICULOUSLY excited to get the call that the central vac is fixed and ready to be picked up.
Also DH looked at our budget and realized that we actually have more spending money than we thought for this month. Wooohoooo happy dance!!
Also I am sitting here laughing so hard tears are streaming down my face because I just squeaked LO's Lamaze penguin and he had the BEST startle reaction and now is sitting there looking like I just scared a year off his life...not upset but you know how you kind of try to catch your breath when startled? Too funny.
Another +1 to feeling like a crappy teacher. I find myself counting classes left until the weekend. FYI it's 2. I'm not smiling and laughing as much as I used to at work either. Like you all have said, everyone is really understanding. I'm grateful it isn't my evaluation year. We're on a 3 year cycle. I lucked out that last year wasn't as I was pregnant and miserable and this year isn't as I'm a sad zombie.
In other news, OWEN ROLLED OVER! It only took 5 1/2 months. I wasn't with him, my mom was. We were actually texting during my lunch break. She looked at her phone then back at him and he had rolled back to belly. He's been getting close for a couple weeks.
C just had a major poopsplosion in his jammies, then he felt he needed to do one better and pee on me while I was trying to change him. Where's the wine? Also, smelled like sick kid poop. Here I thought we were getting better, guess not.
