The house does not seem to be packing itself into boxes. wtf belongings. We are moving in less than two weeks and I feel like we are making no progress!

I was out on vacation all last week. My coverage decided not to bother doing any of the work that's due Jan 1, and left it for me to do today and tomorrow. It's the busiest week of the year for us.

Someone doesn't understand the meaning the word "coverage".

MIL is watching DS. She gave him water in a normal cup without asking. Ergh! We aren't doing water amd he barely uses a training sippy. Over reacting?

**DS is only 5.5 months

Yes. It was water, not soda. And at almost 5.5 months? NBD.

I cleaned out my closet this morning & unexpectedly came across the scrub top my dad was wearing before he got transferred to the ICU (and subsequently passed away). I hate being caught off guard like that but glad I was alone and able to have a good cry. Sigh.

DS2 has officially given up on nursing. I've been able to hold onto the morning session and have been pumping for his other three feedings since he refused to nurse for those feedings for the last 2 months. I thought for sure we might be able to BF at least until 18 months, but he's done. He's done with me, and he isn't finishing his bottles anymore either. I'll keep pumping at least through the next month and maybe start putting it in his sippy cup.

He's growing up way too fast and that makes me really sad since I wasn't prepared for this.

@financialdiva- don't be too hard on yourself. 11 months is phenomenal!

I concur.

@LoCarb @financialdiva @K3am Thanks ladies! I figured I was over reacting.

Got back from vacay this weekend and am majorly jetlagged, didn't sleep well and soooo tired today, my first day back. Ugh.

Aside from that, a few small vents: (1) my previously chill, drama-free, everyone minds their own business family has become a much more typical group full of some people not speaking to others and a lot of unspoken tension. Family get togethers aren't what they used to be but I'm glad to be home. (2) I need to hire a doula and I'm very nervous about the whole thing. I had one last time who I clicked with so well in the prenatal appointments but in labor, she was a disaster. I have a list of highly qualified ones but I need to find one who shares my philosophy. It doesn't help that references just want to say how "great! amazing!" the doula was - that tells me absolutely nothing. Great for you means nothing to me. *what* did she do? *how* did she do it? I need specifics not platitudes. Not looking forward to this process. (3) My midwife group is great for in person care and chaotic for all other services - making appointments, getting my lab results, returning calls. . . it's a headache. (4) DH & I realized it will take a lot longer for us for save up for a house than we initially thought but I guess that's no surprise, right?

I don't want to be at work today. Also, my entire coffee cup spilled onto the floorboard of the car on the way in this morning. I bring my own coffee b/c it's way better than office coffee, which I had to settle for. DH is off work until 1/7 and I am insanely jealous.

My son's elementary school is having a winter break GTG at a nearby frozen yogurt shop today. From 1 to 4. Thanks for being working parent friendly! >:P

MommyAtty · December 2013

I'm doing Continuing Legal Education, because I'm still 3 hours short and it has to be done by the end of tomorrow. I was 4 hours short before I started today. Argh! I hate CLE. Seriously, practicing law 60 hours a week isn't enough continuing education?? I'd even give them the 3 hours of ethics we have to do, but the other twelve make me nuts. (And yep, I know it's my own fault for waiting until the very last minute. See earlier comment about 60 hour work weeks. I don't have time for this crap.)

I am 32 weeks pregnant for the second time and man my pelvic bone hurts alot earlier than last time. Oh and lets not forget the crappy sleep and hemorrhoids.

JessAnnJ · December 2013

@MommyAtty - One of the great things about my MA bar admission, no mandatory CLEs. I work for the Fed Govt and live in different state (I only need to be admitted in any state) and the CLE requirement is one of the reasons I have not applied for admission in my current state.

I actually don't have a vent today because I am on vacation visiting family but I'm sure I will have one next week.
