that's how it was here too and of course Grayson kept wanting to go outside! I was afraid him being out in the cold would make him super sick again so I had to be mean and tell him to come back inside.
I got Christmas jammies for Grayson and my niece the other day. I had to get them before they ran out. The Halloween stuff had already been picked over at Carter's. How adorable are these though????
Thanks @NurseMommy13 . I know I need to sit down and figure everything out. I just haven't had time to really think about much. I know that's a stupid excuse but by the time Grayson is asleep all I want to do is sleep too. I'm hoping I'll be able to sort everything out these next couple of days and figure out what I need to do.
Cold weather? It was mid 80s here today and it'll be in the 90s this weekend. I don't love that , and hopefully it'll be the last heat wave of the year.
I'm just going to bury this here. Long story as short as I can make it. When I was a senior in high school I had a physical relationship with someone older (early 20s) who actually was a coworker of my step father's and because he moved here from half way across the country, we were like his surrogate family and we spent a lot of time together. I loved him hard and I knew, deep down, that he had more than just physical feelings for me but real dating never happened and I think it was because of the age difference and that it would then be on display to our families. He moved back home a few years later and except for an email here and there over the years, we've never spoken again except we just connected on FB because he just joined. When I jokingly called him out on just joining he said "I love it. Gossip with all the old flames." In true high school fashion, I'm going to ask you - he did that on purpose, right? lol Like, covertly telling me I was a flame of his? This so should not matter to an old ass married chick with two kids but something about him never fessing up to wanting to really be together has always stuck with me.
We're flying to CA today. I hate flyin and I'm panicking about how DD will act. I think I'm going to be on the verge of an anxiety attack until we get there.
Today is going to be rough. Up at 5 and she won't go back to sleep. I'm exhausted. Not whiney, just being annoying. SH dressed her in short sleeve and shorts pajamas last night. Of course she was cold. (Anyone else's SH never dress their kid weather-appropriately?) I really needed more sleep today. We better get a good nap later. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive today. Send coffee, please.
I feel like DH can't do pjs. Q won't keep a blanket on so I feel like shorts/short sleeves are only for the hottest days. If I'm in pj pants and a tshirt and sleeping with the blanket, how can he be ok in shorts and no blanket?? Thankfully, he still sleeps so he can't be THAT bothered but I definitely feel you.
It's really good! The hours are ideal and LO is loving spending time with his grandmas. I miss him (obviously) but I'm adjusting.
The job itself is going to be great. These first couple weeks are a lot of assessing and scheduling, which is the crappy part of the job, but hopefully I will be in full teaching mode by the end of next week, which I'm really excited about!
@mcbush I'd be happy if my husband just dressed Cal without me putting out what he should be wearing... although, if he did shorts and a t shirt at night, I would complain about that too I'm sure.
+1. DH does dress both boys for bedtime but I have to be specific or lay them out or I complain about his choices and make fun of him, so it's not like I'm building his confidence in the process. And when I let him do mornings on Saturday when I go for a run they are both still in their pajamas when I get home because he seems incapable of starting a day without mom. I mean they are having fun and all, it's just no one gets dressed without mom.
I got way too excited over finding the old style playtyex straw cups on-line. The redesigned them right after we bought one and I have not seen the old design anywhere. DD prefers that cup over any of the others we have.
I just did a little happy dance at my desk as I bought 2.
Friday bitchfest? I am SO tired of DH making me feel guilty every morning for needing to take a shower. Yes. This happens. He has to watch E for 5-15 minutes and he complains about how late it makes him every. single. day. Dude: I can shower while you eat breakfast and drink your coffee if you weren't so protective of that time as your personal internet time.
I'm going to pile on this one. DH forgot his phone this morning. We were all still in PJs when he left for the train. I saw he left it and put both kids in the car in their jammies, threw on a hoodie and tried to run his phone to the train (his pass is on it). I saw the gate come down on our road and knew I wouldn't make it now so I turned around and went home, got the kids out and went inside. 2 seconds later he runs up to the door and says he didn't get on to get his phone, but I needed to drive him to the other station to catch the train. So the kids go back in (G is barefoot and now in only underwear mind you), drive in school/work traffic across town, catch the train and as I am driving DH has the nerve to say, "well it isn't that big of a deal since you work so close." Yeah, when I spend 40 minutes of my morning cleaning up your screw up it's no big deal. When I get back to the house at 8:20 and still need to get 3 people ready for their day and to school/work by 9 it's no big deal.
When you don't get laid tonight because you are a fucking idiot it will be no big deal, right?
I got DD dressed in an adorable long sleeve onesie I bought a while ago. I go to do it up and there are 3 little BUTTONS instead of snap. WTH oshkosh?!?! Who puts buttons on a 12M onesie? I feel a little bad sending her to DC in it, I hope they just leave it unbuttoned if its too much of a hassle.
@limabeanmom that would piss me off so bad! I get really sensitive when people insinuate that I would be unhappy with two perfectly healthy, beautiful boys. Part of the reason why we didn't find out the sex either time was I didn't feel like dealing with any comments. But now it keeps up that people ask, "so are you going to try for a girl?" If my inlaws or parents were the ones saying that I would be really hurt! So annoying.
You could just let her keep believing it's a boy and say, "well we'll dress him like a girl for the first few years while he doesn't know the difference so I can get all the pink and tutus out of my system." I'm sarcastic generally so me saying this would get my point across but it doesn't work for everyone!
So annoyed. We can't find a babysitter for this Saturday night. All we want to do is go to Home Depot and pick out new fixtures, lighting and tile for a bunch of remodeling projects and we tried with the kids in tow and it was awful. I really want to ask MIL if she can just come over for the evening but I don't think she can handle bedtime alone and since she is watching Lo today I feel like she is so tired when I get home that asking her won't be a good idea. Pout pout pout. I just want to get started and we never seem to be able to make it work!

If you knew me from Adam, I'd totally babysit for you

Honestly if I gave you my address and someone showed up that looked like you I would show your their bedroom monitors, fill up a travel mug with wine and say, "good luck!" while running to my car! Haha.
I'm going to get my hair cut today. I am tired of the amount of hair that I am losing every day. Hopefully this helps. And my bangs desperately need some attention.
I had a long night last night. Why? Lily messed with my alarm clock while I wasn't looking. It went off 5 or 6 times between 12:30 and 1am. H got up the last time and unplugged it as I whined that I didn't know how to make it stop. The kid is going to give me gray hairs.
In other news, how would one start potty training past just getting them used to the potty? Lily took her diaper off and peed on the floor. I think we need to start doing some more than just sitting on there once a day. Any thoughts?
Had my annual this morning. Got an rx for Gildess FE, the generic for Loestrin FE. This is the first time I've taken a conventional BCP. Anyone have experience with it?
I'm on my second month of it. I actually had a lighter period, which I normally don't on BC. And it seemed to help me get back to normal feeling, hormone wise.
B had his 15 mo appt this morning, four shots included. Silly me expected a two hour nap and he had other ideas. No nap at all so I'm breaking off pieces of a bagel to buy some bumping time.
Just had a Skype date with SIL. Am I the only one that feels awkward during those, like they are staring at me. I just let LO be the star when I Skype.

@dlm1234 you will be fine. I flew to CA from Chgo a couple months back. He was great.
