I'm not ready for Monday. Our one cat is sick and headed to the vet. DD was awake talking at 1 am. H and I stayed up way too late binge watching a TV show. I could use a few more hours in my weekend.

Oh well.

I'm picking up my new car today! I am getting a Prius and am really excited about the gas mileage since I do home visits and drive a lot for my job.

The bad news is that I'm only getting a new car because I was in an accident last Monday and my car was totalled. I was not hurt though so that's what's important.

Amazingly, both Reese and I slept til 7:30.

Nothing else is going on--DH is back at home. I hope that her counts start to go up so we could get off room restriction. (I don't even care about going home yet---just off room restriction). Reese has been in the same room for 5 days! We are going on the sixth. 

Right now she is watching Little Einstein's quietly.

It's Thanksgiving here.  I went to two dinners yesterday.  It makes it really plain how very different mine and DH's family are when we go to both places in one day, but it also reminds me why I love them all so much.

Drinking coffee while ds watches super why. Hit the gym bright and early this morning, wanted to go get my car taken care of (tire and oil change) right away, but no appt until 11:00. Ho-hum.

I'm off today and dh works. Planning on doing some meal prep for the week.

Today marks the beginning of the end of my maternity leave. I go back to work next week & I am starting to spiral. I knew when we planned #4 that me working FT would be a necessity, & that the baby would have to go to DC. I knew it & have had it in my head all along, but now its here & I.....just don't want to ( ( ( I know that baby will be fine, babies go to DC all the time, but I've never had to take a kid younger than 2 before.

I am sad, & may do nothing but sit & look at my precious all day

We're on day 2 of our journey home from IL. We're driving through West Virginia now, the view is fucking gorgeous.

I am working from home today and lingering in bed as long as I can. I do need to get some work done today, but I stupidly left my laptop in the room where DS is sleeping, and he's still asleep, so I don't want to go in and get it and wake him up.

Im up havi ng coffee. DH is home today so he's coming to our weekly farm group with DS and me. Thats should be fun, but man, having to get all of us up and scramble to leave here by 9 is a chore, considering DS sleeps until at least 8:30-9. I hate having to wake him! Even if its to go somewhere fun.

Watching Doc McStuffins. I have been hearing different things from different doctors--mostly about Reese leaving her room. 

Reese won't wear a mask, so it is definitely nerve wrecking letting her leave. Maybe tomorrow. Right now she is low on hemoglobin, so I am thinking today may be a quieter day.

The little slept crappy and then woke for the day at 5:15 He is still fucking wide awake. O is wound up and running around way too much. I need a lot of coffee.

The only coffee that is good enough at waking me up is french press coffee. I left my french press at work yesterday, dammit.

Good morning!

I'm having a nice morning so far.  My MIL showed up this morning, which I wasn't quite expecting.  I knew she and my mother had arranged some days for her to come watch L, but no one filled me in on the details.  LOL. 

It's great though, and I'm really so grateful that my mother and MIL get along so well and that I don't need to be a middle man.  And, she is going to take L to her house AND bring him home even though I offered to go get him after work. 

To top it all off, she brought me a One Direction magazine.  I don't know how this day could get any better!

Karma is a bitch. I told dh's cousin's stbx wife that I didn't want you get together yesterday because one of her kids had a stomach virus last week and I didn't want my kids to get sick. The baby woke up with a fever and runny nose today. I'm still glad we didn't meet them because I would probably blame her for ds getting sick.

My mom, who is a very intelligent nurse practitioner, just said to me, maybe if you push on the top of your baby bump it will encourage the baby to come out".  Huh?  I hope she's making a joke, because surely she can't think that would do anything except hurt me.

... Have you tried it yet?

I really hate dating. I also really hate paying for a babysitter. My lyfe is hard.

Ok heres my dilemma:

Since yesterday DS has been using the potty on his own, going to pee when he feels the urge & pooped on it this morning. He did wear a diaper to bed last night & woke up wet, so hes not there 100% yet but we're on a good roll...

So anyways right now he thinks we are out of diapers. He wanted one to poop in & i said opps we're all out & he said ok & went on the potty. I have a couple pull ups I told him are for bedtime & I do actually have a full pack of diapers he doesn't know about & I could exhange for baby diapers if I can go w/o opening them...

Ok sorry that got long, but what do I do at naptime? Give him a pull up? Ride it out with a matress pad? Also how long am I trapped at home till its safe to take him in public?!

Hes my 3rd kid to PT, why do I feel so lost on this?!

Move here and I'll babysit for free.

Oh, but our queso game is sorely lacking.

You could always move to Texas

Getting my car serviced. Two car places next door to each other, I walked into the wrong one like an idiot and wondered why they didn't know about my appointment

tbmadeamistake

We only have one set of car seats, so whoever is with the kids gets the car with the seats. The only time we move a seat is if we are splitting the kids up for a full day or something, so there are times that one of us is home with a kid and no car seat. If there was an emergency we'd have to call my mil and wait a half hour for her to get here with her extra seat, or leave a kid with a neighbor.

I went to the gym for the first time today, and it was awesome. The kids loved the daycare, so I feel happy leaving them there. The working out was awesome and when I go back on Wednesday, I'll swim.

Depends on how close I am to the parents. We have drop off (really, send over) play dates with out next door neighbor, or a few of my close friends

I freakin' love Amazon. I just over spent on Amazon for things for Reese to keep her busy in the hospital---granted my mom said she would pay for most of it. It is all little stuff, but it is still something new. 

fancynewbeesly

I am waiting for a call from my doctor. I will be waiting until 2. Due to our contract, I can't take sick days for Reese being in the hospital. (because I am not sick). I already exhausted family leave for her last year. So, personnel said the way around that is if I can't a doctors note for myself--stating emotional distress or something. Then I can use family leave and sick days for myself. I called my neurologist and left a message to see if I can get a note from them signing me out of work for a couple of weeks. I do suffer from absence seizures, which are more frequent in times of stress and lack of sleep. I am hoping she will agree to it, if not I have to find another doctor to write a note. It is the last thing I need to worry about right now.

I haven't read all this yet but my kitty is so sick. We are waiting to see what happens but they might want us to put him down.

I am a wreck.

Ugh. This fucking cold running thru our house for the past week is still lingering. DS's nose is still running like a faucet, I'm still stuffy with a headache and coughing, and so is DH. Wtf germs...GO AWAY!
