its been raining non stop since saturday afternoon. tomorrow i have to travel for work for the day and then im out to dinner wed night with clients which means 2 nights in a row of not seeing DS. i think im going to come in late on wed morning just so i can do DC drop off and see him. Just annoying!

It was snowing at my house this morning. WTAF? It's March 31st and I do not live in Northern Maine, Alaska, or northern Canada.

Both kids are feeling a bit under the weather today. DD1 insisted on going to school to see her friends, but I could tell DD2 just didn't feel well at all. She's not been sleeping well, and it seems that 2 nights of limited sleep for me, plus PMS hormone surges, has triggered another migraine. So I would love to be home snuggling my sick kids and nursing this headache, but I'm at my desk instead. Boo.

On the plus side, I've had 2 meetings cancelled already today, and I'm thinking of cancelling a third...

It rained ALL weekend and now today it is sunny outside. The baby had a rough night and I am exhausted, plus we have a super busy week and weekend. The mood here at work is very somber after last week's layoffs. I need to be productive but am having a hard time focusing.

I'm having trouble sleeping - pregnancy insomnia. Lots of dreams of sleeping through the alarm clock and missing major appts and occasional dreams of my child being hurt. Very vivid, very weird. So I'm very tired - I've been going to sleep early almost every night but then waking up every hour from 3am onwards. I had this kind of sleep disturbance last time too but it started in the final month of pregnancy, not the 2nd tri. I hope this doesn't last the whole time.

On the up side - my husband's back from travel! So I feel sane again.

I'm annoyed that my almost 3-year old chooses Sundays to sleep later than 6 AM. Every other day she's up and it makes it hard to get ready for work, etc. But on Sundays when we need to get up for church, she sleeps in. I need her to figure out Saturday is the morning to sleep in

I'm frustrated that I allowed myself to be amped up by my mother in regards to my older child's health. She had a lump on the roof of her mouth. Normally I'm a wait and see kind of parent but my mom had me convinced it was something dire. So off to a friend that's a pedi ENT and he's not sure what it is so sends us for a CT scan. Not only is that expensive but it was not a fun experience for my daughter. It shows nothing and now the lump is gone. I wish I would have waited a week to do anything.

My husband had the stomach bug yesterday, and I have it today. DD will most likely have it tomorrow.

It's not yet April and I'ved used HALF of my sick days for the year already.

I very rarely hang out with my friends. We're talking once every few months, and often those activities involve DH and the kids too, so it's not exactly "me time." DH on the other hand has game night with his friends every other Saturday, so I take care of our kids for roughly 5-6 hours during that time. During football season, his friends are also over at our house every Sunday. Suffice to say, he gets a lot of "me time" for himself.

It just so happens that over the next two weekends, I have a work event, dinner plans with friends, and lunch plans with friends, so I'd be out 3 of the 4 weekend days for a few hours each time. These are not all day long events by any means. DH is making a big stink about it and acting all annoyed like I'm being totally unfair booking up this much of my free time and leaving him alone with the kids for this many days all at once. It will most likely be MONTHS before I am out like this again. Dude needs to suck it up and let me have fun! UGH!

DH is getting on my nerves too! He has commitments Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings this week. It's related to a side job, but it still sucks. Plus he is working OT during the day on Saturday. Then he gets an attitude because his niece is turning 21 and rented a party bus to go out on Friday and I thought he should skip that. Also, a zumba class I wanted to take on Tuesday nights needs to wait until next week because he has so much going on. So I can do nothing because of his crap. We both feel busy because he is working and I am home taking care of the kids. It just sucks all around!

So my nanny told me from 2 weeks ago that she had a Drs appt today. Fine. My mom said she could watch her as my backup. But my grandmother has just moved in with her and has a lot of health issues so I knew it might not work out. Yesterday she confirmed that she could watch my daughter and be here by 730. Then at 6am this morning I get a text saying sorry she can't come! It's frustrating bc I have no other backup, my husband NEVER takes time off for emergencies, I have to call in sick last minute and I'm trying to save all my sick and PTO days for baby #2!

Raining here--blah
Kids were up at 4 and one actually went back to sleep but my 4yr old was UP

No MOTO at work today and I'm thinking about applying to another position!

I caught whatever cold virus LO had last week. I'm at work and now my voice is starting to sound raspy! I have so many meetings and my voice is going to sound like a raspy, cracking mess.

I got crappy work news at about 10:00 last night about a project I'm working on. So I slept about 2 hours because I was having panic attacks. Tons of crap to do today, including meetings I have to run where there will be executive VPs as well as regular VPs. I'm so not on my game. And I look hugely pregnant. And exhausted. Maybe because I AM hugely pregnant and exhausted. Oh, and my EVP basically came out last week and said that they expect I'm going to work through maternity leave this time because no one else knows how to do my job and the stuff that's crucial really can't be sent to outside counsel. Grrrreat!

I'm still mad at my mom over a conversation that happened this weekend. I'm sick of her criticizing me and DH about everything and her feeling like she has the right to say whatever she wants. She makes mean comments and then plays it off as joking when we get pissed or call her out on it. Then she turns around on us because we "can't take a joke", however most of the time the comments are personal attacks. It especially pisses me off when she criticizes our parenting because damn it, we are awesome parents. I'm just tired of the negativity and I don't want DS hearing her undermine and criticize us.

I feel better now.

DH was a pain all weekend. My sister was going back to school after spring break and all she wanted to do was say bye to DD at gymnastics and H wouldn't let DD go see her. Long story but he has invisible issues with my family (all in his head even the counselor was hitting road blocks he counts time DD spends with my family and his and it must be equal in his eyes except his family is out of state 8 months out of the year and all leave 3 hours away while mine is in town and all still working so it never will equal). I had to deal with my very upset sister and had to squeeze in a time Sunday so she could say goodbye. It was a long weekend working and dealing with drama that is just old and stupid. I'm tired and want a day off. April 16th can't come soon enough.

Wow! Sorry that you are dealing with this.

Mine is a true 1st world problem. I had a massage appointment last night and I completely forgot about it!

I was even talking about this yesterday afternoon and was looking forward to it too! I blame pregnancy brain.
