Monday Randoms/Bitchfest combo

[silvermelody]

Everyone must be busy, neither thread exists and it's almost noon on the west coast

Bitchfest:

M has had a yucky wet cough for a week now. He seemed to be on the mend but puked all over the couch after I left for work this morning I'm hoping it was just from swallowing mucous and isn't an actual stomach bug

I'm starting to get his cold and the Mucinex isn't touching it today

My back feels weird, like it's going to go out any minute. Bleh.

[ice61313]

Meh. I'm just blah today. If only Nora would let me lay in bed all day long, that'd be fantastic.

My boss had the epiphany that I am going on maternity leave within the last week... so now it is a scramble to get everything done before I leave. I have been gently reminding her for at least two months now. God help me if I have to work past my due date... I don't mind going overdue but I might turn homicidal at work.

[otepoti]

Have no idea whats been going on with me lately but HI EVERYONE.
I'm so broody and wonder when we became f16 *dies from cute baby overload*

What have I missed?

On a romantic (and/or drunken?) night about 9 months ago...

*flips through calendar*

Memorial Day??  Haha.

peachesncream, True lol.

We have started remodeling our kitchen. Yay new kitchen! $@@$^$%^#!!! renovations!!!
It doesn't help that our contractor is my uncle and when he works for family he is definitely not in a rush to get anything done. Hello, we have a toddler. I don't want to live in a construction zone forever.

I had coworkers bothering me for the most mundane bullshit the day I was going in for my induction.  I've never been so happy to put up an out of office.  Hope they leave you alone!

We are starting in the summer and I am SO excited for a new kitchen but completely stressed about the timeline and living in a construction zone.  I'm having stress dreams about my house falling down.

We were at ILs this weekend and I put on Daniel Tiger in a failed attempt to distract M from trying to climb into the fireplace. My MIL sees Prince Tuesday and says "well he's a handsome drawing"

Watch out yogini kiki, MIL is coming for your man.

Boo stress dreams!

There are just too many damn decisions. I really wish my high school friend who is an interior designer didn't live two states away so she could help me choose things. DH doesn't want to talk about paint colors or what we are going to do with the ceiling or anything like that yet, but for me to be happier during the crappy parts, I need a picture in my mind of how it is going to turn out.

And this is THE PROJECT that I have been waiting for. It's like The One. I never want to do another biggie like this again, and I want everything to turn out the way I want it. I want it all done right and completed the first time. No piddly projects afterwards. I am very invested in things being completely done so that I don't have to worry about doing stupid little projects while pregnant with LO2.

I know what ya mean. My dad does all the construction work for us and he doesn't "get it." 

But yay for new kitchen!

He is a handsome man. Especially in his baseball uniform.

I am so glad we bought our house pre-renovated. I do not have the Martha Stewart/interior decorating gene. At all. The entire house can stay taupe for eternity, I do not care.

I woke up with pink eye. So that's fun but it isn't too bad now. My eye is just a little red.

[swim]

I really need a haircut. It's been 6 months. I got it cut short then, and now I feel like it's grown into a mullet.

Also my mom is here.
Visit seems to be going well so far.

[jamjoyful]

So, KJ asked to cut her hair. I took her today and she picked a bob with some bangs. She looks so cute but I can't believe it took all the baby away.

[ice61313]

I'm getting my mullet cut Thursday. Can't wait. Ugh to the stages of growing out pixie.

I'm so fed up with H not thinking about how solo parenting for 3+ days affects me. Plus He has never given Nora a bath because he's always complaining his back hurts (he has scoliosis- it's not noticeable so I don't think it could be too bad but I could be wrong). So I told him I don't want to see him before 9-10PM and that'd I'd be perfectly fine if he spent the night at his parents.

Yes! You know what I'm talking about when it comes to hair. It's why I always end up with a short hair do every haircut. I just can't get past the mullet stage.

[hoosiermama76]

I feel so over today.

I think I *might* be out of the mullet after this hair cut. It'll be a really short bob but I'd be happy.

Tomorrow is vaccination day for DD. Not looking forward to the inevitable screaming that goes with it.

[jamjoyful]

Us too swim! Hope it goes well for you.

I have my bitch now. We were playing at the mall and KJ found a friend. They were doing fine and then the little girl kicked KJ in the face and she started bawling of course. Then, the girl comes over to me to say that she only kicked her because she was done playing with her and wanted to play alone. Okay, fine. We all need alone time. Kicking someone in the face isn't the way to handle that. A security guard was passing by and got involved. The parents fled after talking to him so I couldn't even address the issue. KJ is fine but has a red mark across her face.

[cdseno]

Max has an ear infection, RSV, and the flu.
And I lost my wedding ring.

Fuck Monday.

It is for us too! At least I think there's only 1 to deal with. Then done until kindergarten shots!

[aaemommy]

I am so sorry. I hope he feels better. Do you have any clue where your ring was or did it fall off in public?? Hope it is somewhere at home!!

[swim]

cdseno Ugh I'm so sorry! Hope Max feels better and you find your ring soon.

[caybeh]

cdseno ugh! Poor Max. Hope he feels better too and you find your ring!
