I understand that DH is tired from (voluntarily) getting up at 4AM the past few days to go hunting. But when we're sitting in Stella's room before putting her to bed and I've got an infant attached to my boob and a toddler trying to sit on her little sister, having him falling asleep on the floor is not very helpful! Play with your daughter!
I'm really scared about what's gong to happen when the new baby comes. DH is pretty good with L now, but it took a long time for him to get comfortable, and STILL there's times where I question his decisions. Ex. Taking L to daycare with a long sleeve t-shirt on only when it's 40 degrees outside. He put a coat on himself, but not his kid!?! We went through a rough period where I did EVERYTHING right after L was born. Part of it was me being a crazy FTM, and the other part was him being clueless. I really should have pushed him more to be involved but I didn't and that's my fault. I tell him at least every other day how much help i'm going to need with L after this little girl comes along (still no name ) but i'm just not sure it's sinking in.
I have today off and DH decided to take half a day so we could have a date afternoon. Sweet of him but I have so much to do at home! Sort of wanted the day to catch up.

We have an expensive plumbing problem. We had a $3200 quote from Roto Rooter. DH fixed it himself but it didn't work. (It was kindof a long shot, but we figured he'd give it a try.) We decided to call a local plumber and get another quote. Hopefuly they will be cheaper.
I try not to complain about T's sleeping habits, but I have to. He does not sleep at night, and I don't know what to do anymore. He's always had a tough time at night, but it got better for about a week, he was doing longer stretches. Then that stopped and now he's worse than ever. He's basically up every hour or two. Plus, he was always a good napper, and now he's struggling with naps too. I really hope it's just a quick regression because of a growth spurt or some developmental spurt. I've tried everything I can think of, he just doesn't want to sleep if he's not being held. I know he's so young and eventually he will sleep, but DH and I are tired and cranky with each other, and I don't want to think about having to deal with this for months and months.
I'm still sick. I had a cold and cough for 10 days, finally went to the DR for cough because my chest was heavy and I was out of breath. Diagnosed with walking pneumonia and ear infection. On antibiotics. Went back 7 days later for DR to check me, still had pneumonia and ear infection. Put on different antibiotics and it's been 5 days and I still feel like I have a bit of the pneumonia. My chest is still heavy. Still coughing.
I am not paying another $25 copay. Between DD and I in a MONTH, I have paid $125 in copay, plus medicines for us both. I have 5 more days of meds left. It better leave.
I am sick of tooth pain! Getting teeth pulled, crowns, caps etc. are just draining. I just wish I had my good teeth back. Stupid cancer. I think dental work is barbaric. It's 2011, they can do all sorts of things that were unthinkable even 30 years ago. But they still can't fix a tooth without using the same measures they did 30 years ago. Drilling. Blah. Ok whine over.

Oh and our furnace is still not fixed! We've gotten everything taken care of as far as our insurance claim goes, now we're still waiting on the heating company. I know that things are behind b/c of the flooding (back in early September!) but I have 2 small children at home and our wood stove can only do so much. Plus I'd like to take a shower somewhere other than my ILs or my parents house and not have to boil water to wash bottles and pump parts and other dishes I don't put in the dishwasher. Come on already!
i have front desk duty today <eyeroll> from 3:30-5:00 pm- soo not looking forward to sitting and doing nothing the last 1.5 hrs till my 5 day holiday weekend.
and wtf am i, an exec admin, doing on the front desk duty backup list anyway! none of the other exec admins are on the list!
our normal receptionist's backup quit two weeks ago (and gave two weeks notice) - that's 4 weeks that HR has done nothing to replace her. and to top things off our normal receptionist is on vacation for 3 whole weeks in december!! how do they except people to give up their work time to go and man the front desk esp with people taking their holiday time. grrr. and they really need to add more people to the list there are several divisions not represented and that is just not fair.

I have dinner in the crockpot and it smells sooooo good, I am dying to eat it but can't. Dh will be home for dinner tonight so we will actually have a nice meal! I sampled the sauce once or twice already!
My IL's said they will be getting in late tonight since FIL had to work. I was thrilled because I feel such pressure to do a good dinner and be Suzy Homemaker when they are here. WELL, MIL texted DH a couple hours ago saying they left their house at 7:30am so they will be here any minute. SO not ready for company yet, physically or mentally. Looks like I"m making a big ole pot of spaghetti for dinner!
Justin is crabby because he has the sniffles and didn't sleep great. Nat was crabby because she's getting 3 teeth and woke up crying with a 103 fever last night. We ran out of tylenol (tylenol needs a twin size bottle- we go thru a bottle in like 1 day). Then I had to drive to Children's hospital alone for B's helmet release evaluation, which he did not pass b/c of the shape of his forehead. I know that the additional 4 weeks is nothing but I'm frustrated. You know when you're "so sure" something will happen and then it doesn't? Optimism can kiss my tush. The helmet smells, I'm constantly getting clunked in the face with it, it's a PITA to get him dressed/undressed and I'm sick of explaining it to strangers. If I wasn't fat as a friggin house right now I would have pulled into mcdonalds and shoveled the biggest meal they have into my face and cried.
I'm just so tired this week. I hope it is just with everything I have to do so that next week I feel back to normal, but jeeze. And at work I have been sitting on the stool so often. I just feel like a slacker. My numbers are still the same and no one has said anything, but I just feel like a slacker. I am getting lightheaded and out of breath just standing there. I know it is because I am carrying different, but my pregnancy with dd was so easy. I didn't struggle at all at work and I would come home and walk and swim every day. Now, I suddenly feel like I just ran a mile just standing still. And the constant braxton hicks (another thing I never had with dd) are driving me nuts.
I have been so short and cranky with dh this week too. I know it is directly related to me being tired, but the littlest things are annoying me with him.
And I am so annoyed at MIL. Did I already complain about this on here? BIL&SIL adopted a 17 y/o a few years back - he is like 22 now and lives on his own. But the kid was in the foster system his whole life. He can't drive due to medical reasons. But since BIL&SIL moved to the adirondaks this summer, I asked MIL if she would bring him to my house on thanksgiving on Sat. She says - Uhh, we don't have room in the car for him. They CAN fit 3 in the back seat. Ya, it will be tight, but it is doable. She just has too much crap in the car. Seriously, I *know* that with hoarding, people don't think the same as other people. But it is just junk. This is a person. With no other family to spend a holiday with.
I have a headache and I really wish that DH was home tonight, he is working. We have just not been able to connect much lately, with me back to work and the busyness of the two kids. We really need a date night. What we really, really need is a night away, but I am just not ready to leave Andrew overnight yet . The other thing that would probably help, would be to move Andrew into the room with Evan. I think that they will do great, but I just can't do it yet. I know that it would help DH and I to re-connect more, so I need to do this soon.
Re: **Whine Wednesday**
I really miss my mom- yesterday was 4 years since she died- and although Thanksgiving is still my favorite holiday- it's always tinged with sadness..
and I'm totally not feeling the holidays- I feel uninspired about what to buy and decorating- I really just want to sleep...LOL
