I really dislike coming into the work week feeling overwhelmed with the short month, ad hoc projects, back-up for an absentee and auditors on top of my usual responsibilities. ugh!!!

My mom is driving me up the wall with Thanksgiving. I'm hosting. She's insisting on bringing something, which would be fine except when I said "OK bring apps" the response was "well I already got this pie today". (Its frozen) Why not just say that from the beginning? Plus when I said weeks OK ILs would likely bring dessert since they need gluten free mom said "that's fine, I don't eat dessert anyway". But then when I responded to her pie that MIL had dessert covered, she goes off on a tirade about how the "rest of us can splurge". Mil has celiac, it's not like she's on a diet and mom knows this.
She's now not speaking to me over a freaking frozen pie. ugh

How frustrating, and it sounds just like something my mom would do. People love to vent about their MILs, but mine is easy compared to my mom

No vent for me today - just feeling anxious and excited as I put DD in DC for the first time today so I can have a few days to run errands before I start back at work later this week

I am heading into a 2-day long meeting shortly. My boss told us we each had to do a 45 min presentation. The only guideline was that we had to do a SWOT. OK, done. Then last Wednesday, he said it should be 6 slides long. OK, so I added a couple things in, had my SWOT, and it came out to 5 slides. This morning, he sent an email that with exactly what should be on each slide. THE MEETING IS IN AN HOUR!!! No one followed his template, because NO ONE KNEW WHAT THE TEMPLATE WAS!!! So now I have an hour to rework my presentation, which wasn't very good to begin with. Ugh.

It's our 7th wedding anniversary today, and I have to go to dinner with my coworkers tonight.

I'll be late, so I won't see the kids tonight. I also have to be in really early tomorrow, so I won't see them tomorrow, either.

DD2 woke up soaked in pee from her neck to her toes. Mother of the year wiped her down and put her in some new clothes - no time for a tub.

Oh I have so many. It's my first real full day back after maternity leave and I'm starting a 2 day jury trial. DH previously told me he was taking 1/2 days today and tomorrow since the baby has been sick. Then yesterday acted shocked that I thought he was doing that. He offered to go in late so he could do drop off for me today then had a mini meltdown about how hard it is to get 2 out the door and he doesn't know how I'm going to do it alone (he works an early schedule to miss horrible traffic). Not what I needed to hear!

Also I woke up engorged on one side and will have to tell the judge I need breaks for pumping. Ugh. I want to go back to bed.

I had a great girl's night out that may have involved a margarita too many. So, being responsible, took a cab home. Next day we go to get my car only to find out it got towed. And because it was Sunday, they tack on an extra $100 to get your car out. So my two drinks ended up costing well over $400.

I do realize that it is infinitely cheaper than the cost of a DUI or any kind of car accident/guilt that would come along with anything that could have happened, it still is frustrating!

DS got his diaper off AGAIN and peed his bed. So I had to strip his bed this morning and get his sheets in the wash. DD2 was up until after midnight last night just because.

I went off on DH this morning because he has been going MIA in his mancave after the older kids go to bed and leaving me to tend to the baby until she falls asleep. I told him I needed a break sometimes too. Hopefully, I'll be getting at least one night a week to go to bed early based on the aforementioned meltdown. He talked such a big game about helping out with the baby more when I went back to work. Ummm, it's been 2 1/2 months, WTF. He is a huge help around the house and with the older kids, but sometimes I just want to watch Top Chef without an infant attached to my chest. I'm grumpy this morning...

I am a guidance counselor and have to call parents but our phones are still down from last week!!!! This is so frustrating. Parents will leave me voicemails but I can't get back to them. I can email them but most don't check the email, it goes to spam or the emails that I have are wrong. It really makes me want to scream

We are supposed to close on our new home tomorrow, and our lender SUCKS. They keep asking us for the same documents, and issues that we thought were resolved months ago are still open. At least they are crediting us their processing fees for dropping the ball. We sold our condo and need to get out of here by the end of the month.

Gee, where to start?

DH is going on a business trip Wed-Sun so I'll be home with all four kids for five days straight basically just kids, work, kids and getting nothing.else.done. Originally his parents were going to be in town to help out, but then they weren't, but then they were so I arranged everything based on that only to find out last night at 6pm that it's back to they aren't going to be here. It's just all really bad timing at my sister normally watches our younger kids but one of her children has been in the hospital for over two weeks now and will probably just be coming home Wednesday and I was hoping to not overload her those first couple of days of having her daughter home.

Additionally, my massive shoulder pain which left my left arm basically unusable back in June is coming back. I'm just hoping I can make it through this week without it giving out on me. Clearly not lifting the baby is not an option since I'll be the only one home.
