I sent a really ballsy email to my boss last night after a terrible shift. The response was positive and now I just hope actual change results. Healthcare is a disaster.
LT because you had results, not because of the awful shift.
It's almost midnight and L still isn't asleep. I'm utterly knackered. Trying to focus on the thought that I would be much worse if I hadn't had all that extra rest during the day...
The good - H decided on his way home that he should stop and bring home dinner. Good call, H.
The bad - he has another meeting next Wednesday, aka the day I rescheduled my hair appointment for. I had to cancel last week's hair appointment because of another meeting. I could leave LO at my sister's, but it's completely out of the way (I'm talking well over a half hour) and it wouldn't make sense.
The ugly - H told me he won't be home tomorrow until 8:30 or 9 because he had a late meeting. Turns out he's creating more work for himself, willingly, by forming a partnership with some other colleagues and trying to create some kind of conference at their university. He's not getting paid extra for this, nor is he required to do it; this is just him working way too much. I thought he'd stop that after LO was born and up until now he has. He won't see her at all tomorrow, and he likely won't see me, either.
I also somehow ripped the only pair of leggings that fits me really well, too. I made myself my eggless cookie dough to cheer myself up. :\
@erbear eat all the cookie dough girl. Id have a come to jesus with DH about the work before it snowballs and you get completely burned out. Sounds like he is falling into old habits maybe a talk to refocus him will help
Has anyone noticed a correlation between their child pooping and the exersaucer? J for the last two weeks everytime she's in it & it is not the same time everyday.
@jemomma you said your kids have been to the monster truck shows? DS is going this weekend-What can you tell me? How long is it and how early do I need to get there? I think we are skipping the pit party, just seems like too long for a 3-year old.

erbear what ashbash said. He probably needs to hear it, calmy and frankly, sooner rather than later, before it builds and becomes a huge thing. I hate those conversations, but always feel better after they're done.
Yeah, we need a CTJ meeting. That's helped get him in line in the past. I'm REALLY strongly hinting he should get me a special pedicure or massage or something for Valentine's Day and for putting up with this crap schedule for the next three weeks!

This is my kid and her carseat. Ready to go somewhere? All buckled and bundled? Time to take a shit.
purple, I hope you are all snoozing peacefully right now! erbear, I hope your talk will produce good results. It really sucks to deal with stuff like that! E has been sleeping for the last hour and a half. I don't think he will want to go to bed in an hour.
LO fell asleep on H the other night sitting up - he was rubbing her belly and bam! Sleep! This was around 6 PM and we start bedtime routine between 6:30-6:45. I let her sleep while I showered and dried my hair and we woke her around 6:40, got her jammies on, I nursed her, and she was back to sleep easily.

Oh, I hope he'll do the same! I'm alone with him tonight, and while it wouldn't be the end of the world if he doesn't go to bed at a decent time, it would be nice to have a little bit of baby free time to relax. I had to get a picture of him sleeping because he NEVER sleeps on the floor like that. It's always either on me, laying next to me, car seat... He was just really out of it and actually let me lay him down for once.
purple, I hope you are all snoozing peacefully right now!
I wish I was! Considering I felt ill all day and I was in tears from tiredness at ten o'clock, and it's now nearly 2.30, tomorrow is not going to be pretty.
Gorgeous picture of your sleepy little boy! Hope he sleeps well at bedtime.
erbear, good luck with that conversation with your H!

Wow, yall were chatty today! I'll have to catch up over coffee tomorrow AM. Today was long and busy.
Just dropping by to say DB started making this adorable whining sound (kind of like a sheet bleating) when he sees something he wants. So far he's done it for a donut and today when I picked him up from the babysitter. HUGE smiles and arms up and this crazy bleating noise. I'll have to get it on video somehow but it hurts my heart with the cuteness.
stinybean, yup almost every time in the exersaucer lately the "pooping face" starts and then it's a dirty diaper.
erbear, while my DH doesn't have that terrible of a schedule (actually it's been really good this term) he takes on way too many extra projects and too much committee work. It's so hard to talk about it too. Good luck, I hope it goes well for you and he realizes that it's better for everyone if he cuts back.
purple, I'm sorry you've been so sick and your LO won't sleep for you. Hopefully things are better soon.
It's wonderfully nice and warm here but we've had freezing rain so the sidewalks are skating rinks and my eighty pound dog decided to yank me around the block for our whole walk. Someone please pass the muscle relaxants...this is gonna hurt tomorrow.
But...in other news my DH was awesome today. He's always pretty good with LO but today he just seemed to know exactly what I needed and when.

Long day today here.
J's pediatrician is still saying his hernia is notmal. Of course, it was much smaller when we got there to have it checked out, grumble. It doesn't seem to be bothering him any still though, so I'm going to bring it up again at his next appointment in march.
My echo was done at the hospital instead of the heart clinic, so of course they found a reason to start an IV. Luckily, they found a tech who not only got it started on the first try, but I didn't even feel it going in. Then they told me to call my cardiologist's office if I didn't hear from them by friday, so I freaked out a bit since normally they say I should hear within a week. Then I freaked out when they called this morning, because obviously something must be wrong if I'm hearing from them so soon. Thankfully, they were just calling to tell me my numbers are slightly better than they were in november, so yay. Next appointment is in 3 weeks, so that's when we will discuss next steps.
I feel like I'm spending half the night babysitting my coworkers. It's so annoying. We're all adults, how about we just do our jobs for once? I could maybe understand a bit more if these were teens, but the ones I have to watch are the ones who are old enough to be my grandparents.
H had a company dinner tonight so my parents picked J up from daycare. J and I are staying the night here since he was sound asleep when I got here at 9 pm. DNW to wake up a baby twice (once getting here and once getting home). I'm going to go prep a bottle for his 3 or 4 am wakeup.
