Hope everyone else's little ones start feeling better soon. kemdupuis, so sorry to hear about your friends mom. I also agree with dinner or a meal of some type and just letting her know you're there if she needs you. I would do a small floral arrangement for them. I know the funeral I was at last week (very close friend) was a little disappointed because I was the only one of her friends to send flowers (and not many other people sent flowers either)
There's so much I should be doing right now: cleaning getting sales tax stuff together for the business, personal taxes together but I think I'm going to sit here and snuggle C while he naps. He doesn't fall asleep in my arms often and I want to soak as much of it in while I can.
And I hope all the J15 babies that are under the weather are well soon!
I have to vent. We live in the country with farm land on all sides of our house. The owner of the land stopped by today while my H was outside and told him that there is a wet spot on their land where our septic system drains. They want it fixed before they plant their next crop, which will be in a month. One freaking month. That's all the notice they are giving us, really??? Can they even do that? It's not like they gave us a court order or anything, so do we have to abide by their deadline? We have lived here for 3 years and everything passed inspection when we bought the house. And why after 3 years are they just mentioning this to us? Why does it have to be Saturday? I wish it were a weekday so we could make some phone calls to find out what we legally need to do in this situation.

My SO is driving my nuts. He is acting childish, selfish and inconsiderate.. and I'm just about to flip. More to this stoey later I'm sure, but I'm insisting on putting the baby for a nap before we venture to his mom's house for dinner. Meanwhile he's been gone ALL DAY, walked in the door and just asked the second he walked in "are yall ready?" Its an hour an a half earlier than your told me we were leaving, and I specifically asked if I could have some time to get ready NOT alone with the baby......

So sorry to hear about your friend's loss, kemdupuis.
sammyca, surely he should be cleaning the kitchen as part of his gift to you?
So sorry that there are so many poorly June babies. I really hope everyone feels better soon.
We had a lovely day. My inlaws came for the day and took us out for a delicious lunch. L is starting to get clingy but she happily played with them and let them cuddle her.
Tomorrow we'll also have to have lunch out because H is playing at the evening service at church. So the only way for us to have dinner together tomorrow is to have it at lunchtime. Such a shame...
When your husband makes you a lovely breakfast to make up for being a complete shithead and then you walk into the kitchen and it looks like a crime scene... ** deep breaths ** internal scream

43 and raining. Kids are currently in the library with DH while I hide in the warm car with sleeping T. Only thing left on my agenda today is going for a run.
DH mentioned yesterday that his brother was game for having lunch with him today, man time or whatever. And I'm in support of it, considering that his wife never attempts to hang out with our family and I want the brothers to still be close. However, 2 weeks ago they had a board game day, and last weekend was super bowl (brother wasn't there, but it was still hang out time with IL's). I told him if they could meet closer to us I might be okay with it (they're an hour away), but I'm getting jealous of all the kid-free time he gets. He even gets a night away every week while I solo parent. So while I can't think of anything I really want to do alone (that can be done in <2 hrs), I feel like a bitch for not wanting him to have so much more "time off" than me.
Hope all J15 babies and mamas that are under the weather get well soon!
Whose ready for this polar vortex to exit the Northeast?? I'm dreaming of warm weather...
Even though it's like Winterfell outside, we had a lovely day today. DH and I took V to a local children's play center, and then ate lunch at the yacht club. On the menu: a Winter Cosmo to start followed by a wedge salad and steak with red wine. I'm still excited thinking about that meal. We hit up the grocery store afterwards because it's going to be way too cold to leave the house tomorrow.
The plan tonight is to drink some red , eat macaroons and watch the debate.
Tomorrow I'm making pancakes in the morning and a yummy meal in the afternoon.
MIL and FIL want to go out to eat as a family on Sunday including BIL, SIL, and their kids. Not exactly how i imagined spending the day but i guess ill roll with it.
Frustrated with H. I had a really long and emotional day, barely slept, and still don't feel well. He really wanted to go out to dinner, so we tried going to a restaurant, but the wait was an hour. I told him that was way too long for both V and I, and he totally shut down. I tried to talk to him about other options, but he just kept saying he didn't know what to do, even though I was giving him ideas. So, I dropped him and V and went to Chipotle. Glad the line is long so I don't have to deal with him for awhile.
Hugs. I hate it when DH shuts down like that. I'd kinda like to do dinner alone tonight!

How terrifying. Praying for your brother and all your family.

Its just flashbacks to really bad days past, I hate this. I feel the worst for my SIL who has been going through this for years on and off, and my parents who are currently none the wiser, for the sake of what's left of their sanity. I just hope he's alive.
periwinkledaydreams Praying for your brother and your family! I hope he's found soon!
tatersalad The king cake coffee is yummy! It's made by Community Coffee and comes in K-cups. You can probably order it online if you wanted. Oh, and feel better soon!!
budders Could V be having night terrors? Poor little love.
I had one task to accomplish today. Go to the Container store and buy a set of Elfa stackers to raise DS1's play desk up to normal desk height so he can use it for homework. I hauled the baby over there with me at the height of everyone going to the mall time and fought through the massive crowd in the store and managed to get everything loaded into the car by myself without dropping anything on P. Then I came home and discovered that I bought half the stuff in the wrong size so I had to go back out to return it and get the right parts so that the room is set up for DS1 when he comes home tomorrow morning. FAIL!
And also, I decided to say screw my diet and ate Fazoli's baked pasta and bread stick for dinner. It's not the calories so much as holy salt and water retention. But whatever because I weigh in for round two of Diet Bet in the morning so little water weight that will fall right back off in two days is fine with me. Also P at an entire bread stick by himself and was mad that there wasn't more. Good to know.
periwinkledaydreams, all the love to all of you. Heroin is just ugly. I have so many clients whose kids have been taken away because of it. I hope he is found soon and is able to kick that bitch for good.
Comparing kid-free time is a constant bone of contention in our house. I feel you girl.

All I want is to get my effing hair cut. There must be some way we can figure this into the schedule? He gets his cut every 3 weeks or so. Mine hasn't been cut professionally in 4 YEARS. I believe I need that time! Yet somehow he doesn't see how important it is to me.
We just got back from our first evening out without LO. Went to see Cirque du Soleil. It was Avatar themed and way cooler than I thought it was going to be. We even did dinner and drinks after. And when we got home Jude was already down for the night! My ILs are AMAZING! I'm sure this means that he'll be up every hour all night, but whatevs.
