Whine & Wine Wednesday (Jan. 6)

[wittyandwaiting]

Happy Wednesday!

Let's hear a whine 

and a wine (something positive!) 

for today/this week.

Wine: My nursery furniture comes today!!!!

Wine #2: C picked up a side job refinishing a whole house of hardwood floors for a VERY wealthy family with no budget. She's stashing enough from this job that I can go back to 5 days a week waitressing for now and cut back to as few days as I need as I keep growing.

Whine: I got nothing. I'm having a great day!

[wittyandwaiting]

Wine: No work for me today! Hooray!

Whine: I've got nothing. Today is wonderful!

Wine(s): My house is being "deep cleaned" by a professional company tomorrow! Hooray!!!

I was able to print my temporary insurance ID cards today, so now I have something to show to the hospital when I go into labor. Phew!

The mechanic swears there is nothing wrong with J's car and that it has been starting normally all day. So strange. I think this car is possessed. We are picking it up tonight, and I honestly am tempted to try to trade it in this weekend while it is running properly if I am still pregnant/not in labor. Need to talk to J about this tonight... but it's a wine that we don't have to pay the mechanic anything and AAA covered the cost of the tow yesterday. So it was a hassle but no $$$ out of pocket. I would rather just put the $500-$1k that I was thinking we would have to spend to fix it toward a down payment on something new. Let's see if my wife agrees...

Today was a crazy busy work day, but I feel soooo productive. It is a good work day when I leave here feeling like I just ran a marathon, but I got a ton accomplished.

You know what, I don't think I have a whine right now either...

Oh, and I'm having contractions again. Hmmm....

Whine: I'm sick. Just cold I think but I sound terrible. C woke up last night and wouldn't go back to sleep so I ended up sleeping on the floor in her room. I think
We will need to do sleep training again with this arrangement. Ugh

And best of all, C took a huge dump on my lap today. We are doing the 3 day run around naked potty training thing. She had just pooped so I thought having her on my lap was safe at that point, and an easy way to sense if she was peering so I could quickly put her on the potty. I may need to rethink my approach.

Wine: C at least peed "a little " in her potty 3 times today and was happy to see me do a potty dance and song, and get some m and m's. Although, all her big pees were elsewhere in the house. One in her diaper at nap time.

Also, I got a lot done today and found out they definitely still have a part time daycare spot for C in the 2 year old room at a daycare place close by that two of my friends love. AND I can start her a few weeks before her second birthday ( in less than two weeks!).

Wine: Ellis enjoyed swimming in our apartment pool today

Whine: it takes multiple tries to get her down for bed. She falls asleep easily nursing but then wakes up on the transfer 2-4 times. And she cries when she wakes up and won't be soothed in the pack n play.

Wine: today was a good day. Took O to the museum this afternoon and she had a blast. This is the first week of M coming home at 5 and it was just as great as I had hoped it would be.

Whine: I have been off from work since 12/25. It's been sooooo nice. I have to go back tomorrow. I'm so resentful of this job now it's ridiculous.

Wine/Whine- We've been procrastinating on getting new tires for my car. They're so expensive but know it's necessary and easier to do now pre-baby. Well, I finally decided to do it and I'm waiting at the tire place now. I called around and got a bunch of estimates and I think we're getting a pretty good deal. Plus the people who work here are super friendly and it will be so nice to check off our to do list.

Wine: Jo is home for 2 weeks!!! I'm super excited. It's great having her here, even with the major jet lag she's dealing with right now.

Whine: it hasn't stopped snowing since we were about an hour from home. Sooooo much snow! Ugh... But it's warmer, so that nice. And now I have someone else to help with shovelling, so I guess that part is more of a wine than a whine.

wine: after the car hit SO the MCL was torn.... today ortho says no surgery required. Also the A/C furnace guy came out and fixed a thing on warranty- no charge. Tomorrow is payday... Changed the sheets all the way through the mattress pad- which is a pain to get on correctly- so glad to have that done. Just little things finally making forward 2016 ish progress...

whine: I don't have one for today really. Im sure there are plenty but since none came to mind, Im going to go with a millimeter of contentment!
