Re: **whine wednesday**
The new FB sucks. I wish they'd just leave it alone!
and...
It looks like I have to get our first official babysitter...I have a party in two weeks and DH just found out they are sending him to Dallas for 3 days for a training. I'm already worried. I have no idea who we'll find to watch the kids and I don't know how R will do with a bottle. Tomorrow is my first party, and I'm nervous about that but at least DH has had time to figure out ways to calm her and try to get her to take a bottle. Part of me just wants to reschedule the party, but she's already sent her invites and have people committed to coming. I know it will work out, but we've never had to use a sitter before...ahhh! Sorry...I'm rambling.
Our library has this music program during the winter and they do some small scale fundraising for it- I'm in charge of the fundraising committee because I worked in this area before I stayed home- well the Library director doesnt know her a$$ from her elbow in terms of fundraising and she is fighting me on everything...hello, people PAID me to raise money for them...I know what I am doing....
I am about ready to tell her to blow it out her a$$....
My sis and her bf are closing on their house next month. Thank God! I really haven't minded having them live here but I'm just ready for more privacy... and to not here them complain how "hard" their lives are. They're 25, single, no kids, no bills besides rent to us and are constantly complaining about their "stress".
This morning as I chugged coffee I was explaining to her that between bottles, lost pacis, teething, Justin having to pee etc... I was up every single hour last night so I was exhausted. Her response, "omg I know, we're in the same boat! I got home from school clinicals at 11:30 last night and I'm sooo tired." I wanted to say, "No. We're not in the same boat. Our boats are not even in the same ocean. You're tired some sleeping only 7 hours. You nap every other day and sleep til 10 on weekends. Stop comparing boats. I worked while I was in school too- so I know 1st hand, it's a joke compared to the work of being a mom."
Instead I half smiled and walked away.
Sorry. I understand...and I only have 1! You have 3! Our friends always complain about how tired they are from working and I feel like saying "Yah, try working and being a Mom and getting up throughout the night! Oh yah....and don't forget try waking by 6am every weekend!" I wouldn't trade it for the world though!
1. DH thinks that b/c he doesn't have to work until 10 that he can sleep in (ok fine), doesn't need to set his alarm (b/c I'll know to wake him up) and doesn't need to help out with getting B fed and ready for her class (while he drinks coffee). I'm trying to get her ready, get myself out the door for an early meeting and I feel like crap. Sorry I didn't wake you up in my normally chipper mood. I wish I could sleep in for once.
2. My step daughter just started college and she's already talking about dropping out. She said it's too hard and she's already falling behind. I told her basically that she continues with college (we've tried to suggest help but she just nods her head and continues with doing what she wants) or she finds a full time job and an apartment (she's 20). I think she got too comfortable the last 2 years sleeping all day, getting all her meals cooked for her, getting cleaned up after, staying in her pajamas all day, having no bills, going out with her bf anytime she wanted and only working 10-12 hours a week. I truely hope she starts to apply herself and gets through this first semester. It's the worst.
::sigh:: Maybe it's me, but I'm in a downright rotten mood and those things did not help. Blah, I'm over this month. Bring on October already.

I've got a couple today which is kind of depressing. Jules was up from 2-4:30 last night, just wanting to be crazy. I know we need to do some sleep training, but my sleep is so disjointed that I can't handle hour long freakouts for days in a row. I was thinking if I sleep in a separate room for a couple of nights, maybe I could do it this weekend.
I got back my bloodwork from last week and my liver enzymes are up 42 pts from last month. DH says that I just need to relax about it. Well of course I need to do that, but how can I? I feel like I'm just waiting for it...
On a positive note, my sciatic nerve was really hurting last week and so far so good since Sunday!
I have LOTS today:
-The kid that pushed DD intentionally at dc apparently stomped on a little girl's head on the playground recently- intentionally too. I'm on a rampage.
-I have to go away overnight to a conference and I don't want to leave the kids.
-I have an unmanageable employee and I spend nearly every working moment trying to manage her.
-The museum I used to work at in Owego was underwater...but none of the volunteers were called in to help move collections. Everything is gone and, even nearly 10 years later, they told the new director to call me to help because apparently she doesn't really know what she's doing.
