Parenting after a Loss

Plan for the day?

I am seriously lacking in the motivation department today and have a lot to do. What are your plans the day? The week?

Re: Plan for the day?

  • I have to put a newsletter together for work (groan) and make a dent in laundry mountain. But DH and I are taking Elinor to dinner with family friends tonight, so that should be fun.

  • I'm participating in a consignment event.  When I found out I was having a girl, I went through all of DS' clothes NB through 2T.  Pulled out anything that was in top condition and in big name brands like Gap, Gymboree, Carter's.  When I was on maternity leave, I found out the consignment event was coming up and I spent a couple weeks preparing the clothes - ironing, hanging them, tagging them. It was fun! I have to drop off the clothes at the fairgrounds after work today, then I volunteer at the event which is this weekend.  I stand to earn 70% of what I sell so I'm hoping I get to pocket some good cash.  The funny thing is most of these clothes were hand me downs from my nephew.  Babies do not wear these clothes long enough so many of them still look new.  Once they hit 2 years, not so much...they wear them out faster.

    HOPEFULLY kick this awful headache! This is my first official week on my own with the girls while DH is at work (I've been super lucky and had my mom here helping the past few). Yesterday went pretty well (we're all still alive) but the evening was a doozy. Millie cried for like 3hr straight thanks to the Evil Reflux Monster. Other than wiping butts and feeding mouths I don't have too many other plans for the week. We are planning to take the girls up to my office Thursday to show them off if the weather is nice.

    Oh, I know... NOT kill the dog. He threw up poop at 2am (yea he eats it, GROSS) for the 10th time in the last week. I'm totally over cleaning that sh!t up. Literally.

    Yea, I wouldn't add anything else to your plate. Your still in the survival mood and congrats on making it through the day with no help!

    My dog has also been acting strange lately too. He now gets up 2 plus times a night to go outside to the bathroom which he's never done. He waits until after the baby eats and I get him back down and I'm jussssst about to fall asleep. No eating of the poo though, lol. When we first brought the baby home he would pee and poop in the house which he never did either. He's still trying to get used to his new brother I guess.

  • Go to the bank

    Catch up on laundry so we have something to wear tomorrow, lol

    Go to the grocery store

    Try to get DS to take a nap longer than 30 minutes

    Clean office floor (its covered with random papers I was sorting) and I'm sure my dog would love to go in and mess it up before I get the change to put it away

    Give baby a bath

    That sounds fun! The dinner, not the newsletter.

    And can I just tell you I adore E's name!

  • I was going to do some homework, but there are 4 massive powerpoints to print.  I had DH print them at work, so I need to wait to listen to the lecture until tomorrow.  My friend is coming over with her 7 month old and we're going to take the kids and my dog on a walk.
