@melody921, due to the bottom of the pool, my pedicure now looks like hell. It's all scoffed up. I'm holding out another 2 weeks if possible. I just hope that most people are tall enough that they can't see that close to notice it. I notice it because they're my feet.
I have heartburn from every single thing I eat or drink and my doc won't give me any kind of rx to fight it. I have eaten an entire thing of tums in a week.
Also, DH and I made lists last night of baby names we'd consider if baby was born tomorrow. DH's list was stuff he's never mentioned to me, or names of people in our families. Like Joseph. Dude. We have 6 Joe's in our families. 6. And not obscure people. Like, my BIL is a Joe. 2 of my cousins are Joe/Joey. His cousin is a Joe, his uncle is a Joe, and one of his girl cousins is married to a Joe. His response "oh yea, I forgot about them." Sigh. Or Henry, a name he's never mentioned ever and I think is overused (we know 3 Henry's, 1 of which is his cousin's kid.) His response? "But I like Hank." Well, then put HANK on your list, not Henry.
DH moved out over the weekend. Keagan keeps asking me why he doesn't want to be part of our family anymore and who our new daddy is going to be. Man this shit is hard guys. I mean, I'm happy for myself, but I'm sad for my kids.
Stuff is going down at work with my boss and I just want it fixed. Her mid year was awful yesterday (co worker saw her crying) and she really stinks at her job and shouldn't have it quite frankly. I don't want to deal with this, I just want a normal boss who knows what they are doing and doesn't micromanage, lie, treat people like they are lesser, etc. We have a new VP and I really hope he "fixes the glitch" as they say in Office Space.
I have a wedding again on Saturday (just had one last Saturday) and have no idea what I will wear because I sweat like a hog in my dress from last weekend (no A/C at a wedding in July, lovely) and have no time to find something that doesn't look like a sausage casing on me. I really want to wear my black silky jumpsuit.

Aww, hugs @Holly_1007. That has to be so hard. I'm sure you're doing a great job being there for the boys. I would just keep reiterating to them that DH is still their daddy, even if he doesn't live there.

Oh my gosh. Big hugs to you Holly. That is heartbreaking but it is best for him to ask those questions then to witness an unhealthy relationship daily. Sending you strength over the interwebs.
Our President just popped into my office to ask me if I was excited for fall semester to start. Then she looked at my belly went "OMG! LOOK AT THAT!" and proceeded to touch it. I'm not confident that she knows my name without seeing it outside my office. It was very odd. She doesn't work in this location and isn't here very often, so when she is here, she likes to walk around and see everyone. She also wants to be called by her first name and not by Dr. last name, which I'm still not used to.
It sucks...she makes my job so much more difficult with the nonsense BS she passes and yet she's very personable and I imagine I'd like her in real life.

This totally sucks. :-( I'm glad he's finally out and you're able to start working on your "new normal" but those poor little guys. I'm sorry Holly. Have you guys come up with a schedule or anything yet?
FWIW, my brother and his ex broke up when my nephew was around 3-4ish and they both see him every single day. Mom takes him to school, Dad picks him up and spends around 3 hours with him until Mom gets home from work and comes to pick him up, or vice versa. It really helped when my nephew was little and didn't completely understand why my brother moved out. Hopefully you guys can come up with a schedule that makes the least impact on the boys.

I am so sorry you are going through this Holly! My parents divorced when I was just a little younger than Keagan and I can honestly say that it happening when I was that young was the best thing for me. I was sad at the time, but I have no recollection of it and I grew up with two happy parents who co-parented well together; which in my opinion was so much better than two parents who were miserable but stayed married. I know it is hard now, but as long as you and your H make an effort to keep both of you as involved as possible Keagan will be fine!

Huge hugs to you, that is the worst. But please remember that you did the best thing for them. It's super hard right now, but kids adapt quickly and are much better at dealing with the change than we are. I know you'll do a great job of reassuring them that they are loved by both of you, and that is the most important part. My kids are super happy and well adjusted and I spent many nights wondering if I had ruined them. I didn't, and neither did you. Our kids deserve to be around happy parents, whether they are together or separate. It will get better, and it will get easier. I promise.

All of this. I believe I was 4 and my brother was 2 when our parents split up. Maybe even a little younger. I remember my dad being gone, but that has to be better than the fighting that I'm sure was going on as even now there's still some resentment that shows once in a while. I still don't know the whole story and probably never will. They were always able to pull it together for us when we had important things going on, which is the most important and probably the hardest. We are both well-adjusted adults that still love both of our parents and now stepparents. Kids are tough.
Just got a call from HR. Due to our stupid income protection (we don't have STD) resetting on 7/1 vs. 1/1 like everywhere else I've ever worked for, I can either take 5wks maternity leave, or take the 12 I was planning on, but be left with no income protection (read sick time, personal time) until July 1, 2015.
According to my work, I have to use up all of my accrued time off (not vacation) before I can take anything non-paid. Which basically means for almost 8mo if anyone gets sick or there's a blizzard, I either have to use vacation or show up. Which also means that the family vacation we planned for next year will not be happening because I can't take 5d off when I only have 10d off for the whole year. I'm irrationally sad and don't even want to bother calling DH and telling him about it. Thank God he gets a month off starting this year, so if someone is sick, he can stay with them.
@MarisaKathleen I don't think being upset about that is irrational.
I feel like everything, including me, is a mess lately. I've got to get it together.
Also, DH's cousin has a GoFundMe on FB to get custody of his son back. He hasn't seen him in 8 months. I've never gotten a real explanation of how he lost custody, but I know there's a restraining order in place. Also, he's a personal trainer for a living and seems to spend his day sharing work out posts as opposed to getting another job or a second job to really earn what he needs. He wants $10,000. I have so many judgments and questions. I'm trying not to, but I can't help it.
I think I should start a GoFundMe page so that I can afford to take a week off unpaid next summer to go on family vacation. I only need around $1K! That's easy to raise right?! Won't people take pity on me?
Pf.
DH of course said "it'll all be fine, don't worry about it" like he usually does. He is the calmest person I've ever met and sometimes that makes me totally crazy.
Ethan starts preschool in a couple weeks. I'm getting nervous. We will get to find out how much I helped/hurt him staying home with him. I'm also worried he's going to get himself in trouble. He talks a lot, and the things that come out if his mouth sometimes :-S I'm sure it'll all be fine, but for now I'm a bit worried.

Big hugs to you! I can't imagine what you're going through. Hopefully your kids will see how strong you are & when they're older, they'll see you did what is best for them.

I read that as your President pooped in your office. lol
But yeah, how awkward! Thank goodness you only have to deal with her in person once & a while.

No, no, no. You start the GoFundMe page to fund your maternity leave, silly. Why get people to pay for one week if they could cover seven?

He'll be great! Kids have a variety of knowledge at that age, regardless of staying at home or going to school. DS1 has been in daycare since 12 weeks and he sucks at writing his name compared to other kids in his class. I worry all the time that he'll be behind in writing when he gets to kindergarten.
My lil guy is starting a new 4K program in a few weeks and I am also freaking out. He's never gone anywhere besides his current daycare and basically grew up with these kids. I am worried that he will hate it and act out more than he already does. On the upside, I'm hoping he loves it and the change of pace is just what he needs to be successful.

She's adamant that I can either take Tums or Mylanta I believe it is. Whatever the liquid shit is that I'm not taking. Apparently it's fine to consume 96 tums in a week but not ok to take 1 RX pill per day. I'm planning on asking the actual doctor when I'm there on Friday. This is just what her nurse told me.

Def ask about Zantac. I took it my whole last trimester with DD and she only has 2 eyes. 12 fingers, but only 2 eyes. <:-P

I know every doc is different, but my dr gave me a 'holy shit stop doing that' lecture when I told her I used like 20 tums a day when pregnant. She said the huge doses of calcium can cause kidney stones which would be the exact opposite of fun while, or after being pregnant. Hopefully you get some relief soon!!

Ugh, that sounds awesome. :-(
Thanks for the tip. I'll talk to her directly on Friday vs. talking to her nurse.
Anyone have anything like this? It's a wall decal, and it's on sale for only $10. I'm thinking it would be awesome in the basement redo instead of getting an easel for Nancy. We have very light texture on the walls in our house, but decals have never been a problem in other rooms. I'm just wondering if she's going to get chalk all over the damn walls....
