What's up?

Alice has been waking up earlier amd earlier since we dropped the paci a few weeks ago. I am absolutely less than imprrssed with her 5:45 wake up call this morning. I laid her back down but that only got me till 6:20. She used to sleep till 8.

We went for our filming at the doctor's office. DD did reasonably well. We stopped at the park afterwards but it was cold so only stayed for 15 minutes. Later this afternoon we go back to the doc for her 18 month check-up and then tonight we have the end of the year party for our children's church program.

E climbed out of his crib this morning. Ugh. I was dreading that. DS1 never climbed out but I thought I had a few more months before E started. It was really cute because DS1 must've heard him in his room and went in there to play with him. They didn't even come to get me until later and were being so nice with each other. I just laid in bed listening to their 6am chattering.

I am furious. We had a handyman here today, doing bits and bobs. Also had builders, so the house was chaotic. After everyone left, T went into the bathroom, which didn't bother me - she likes playing with her bath toys and it's been babyproofed. But then I heard an unfamiliar plastic rustle, so went to investigate: she was carrying an opened bottle of thinners!! The handyman must have been using it to wash paintbrushes or something. He would have left it on the floor if T could reach it.

This stuff:
Lacquer thinner is used to dissolve and remove a variety of lacquer-based products. It is an extremely toxic substance that creates a number of hazards if it is not used in the correct way. The smallest splash on the skin can cause uncomfortable burning and rashes. Here are a few tips you should bear in mind when using lacquer thinner.

Holy crap @LorMor! How scary!

My sister is trying to get me to do a crossfit competition in Disney world! I want to say yes but I would feel guilty going to Disney without DD. It's only a 3 day competition but it sure would be nice to have some adult time and in the happiest place on earth why not right? I just need to make up my mind quick before it fills up.

StefanieM522 · April 2014

@LorMor super scary! So glad she is ok!

I was just talking to my mom about wanting to maybe do a marathon at Disney World one year. I think it would be super fun!

@laurenbullock DO IT! and have fun!

I had my 6 week pp doc visit. C is at daycare, but I had to bring A. She screamed the whole time. I felt so bad, but thankfully there was a nice nurse that took her for a walk around the desks, and everyone was good natured about it. Sigh. Glad that's done.
It's almost 60 here today, so I'm hoping A will tolerate the stroller and we can go for a walk.

We were going to do the princess run an that's a half marathon! It's SUPER fun! But we are big crossfit people and this is the first time they are doing this. So we had to choose one and crossfit won

Pretty sure I would give my kid just about anything in the world to make her quit doing the horrible ear splitting whine she is rocking today. I know she doesn't feel good but holy hell.

BabyCarryingVessel · April 2014

@LorMor, how scary! I sure wish others would use more common sense when they're in houses with small children.

Apparently being home with Mommy is exhausting. Elijah has been sleeping since 1:30. It is now 4:30. Usually his naps are only 2 hours long.

So because E climbed out this am I moved the mattress all the way to the floor of the crib. I was sure he wouldn't be able to get out. He did. Touché, my acrobat... touché.

Would you mind if I ranted here? Yesterday I had one of the worst mom days ever, aside from the ER experience Sunday. Let me preface this by saying my house is STILL in shambles from the kitchen remodel. All the new stuff is in place and I have put everything back, but I still don't have a sink, microwave or dishwasher, and there's tools everywhere. You don't realize how much you miss something until it's not there! So I can cook for the most part, but I sure am missing my sink especially. DH has been working from sun up till late at night and hasn't had time to install my sink and faucet. I'm going nuts!

Maybe my farm woman friends will commiserate with me (@LexiSophie55 @HisMom12)!! My man is so busy at work this time of year, but he refuses to pay someone to come put my sink and faucet in. He says if he can just have half a day he can do it, but he won't get a half day until it rains, and who knows when that will be. Also, our yard is about 14 inches tall and he refuses to pay someone else to come mow it. I'm losing my mind having dishes in my laundry room and having the ugliest yard on the block!

Then yesterday he came with us to the pediatrician appointment and his brother was calling him every damn half hour telling him to get to the farm asap to work. So instead of going by the pharmacy, we had to go straight home so he could get to work. It's about a 30 minute drive to town. So later in the day I loaded up the girls (Kaylin was running a fever and really sick acting) and went back to town to fill our prescription. After a 30 minute wait and 30 minutes of listening to the girls scream, we were on our way home and I got a damn speeding ticket. I had so much on my mind I wasn't paying attention. I had a really ugly breakdown that lasted about 30 minutes in the car after I got the ticket. I'm sick too, which makes me feel even more unstable. Someone come get me and let's head for the border!!

@BabyCarryingVessel ((hugs)) I'm sorry sweetie.

StefanieM522 · April 2014

@babycarryingvessel Huge hugs to you! I hope that you get your sink installed really soon!

StefanieM522 · April 2014

Where did everyone go?? It has been a slow couple of days on O12.

CnAnA · April 2014

It really has!

Husband and I have started logging our food again. I realized I dont necessarily eat a lot (as compared to how I perceived a lot anyway) but I eat high calorie foods. And a lot of carbs. A LOT of carbs. So I am working on lowering my calorie intake and it makes me hangry. I want to wat ALLLLLLL the food.

Final update on the car my Hubby wanted. So it looks like the best interest rate they can give us is the 12% so I called the dealer and told him we were not taking the vehicle and thanked him for his time. Case closed or so I thought. Turns out the dealer has been calling my Husband all day today and telling him what a great deal this is and he will take a extra $100 off and that we can always refinance in a few months and will get a lower rate. I am beyond pissed now, so I call back and talk to the moron and tell him to stop calling we are no longer interested. He asks me what it will take for us to take the 4 runner and I told him we want the car for half what they are asking. He said he couldn't do that but that we are walking away from a wonderful NEW car. It is a 2003 how is a 11 year old car new??? So mad, and if he calls again I am driving to the dealership and making a scene. Now my Hubby is moping like a 2 year old at home because he can't have the car he fell in love with.

StefanieM522 · April 2014

@mbm1983 Yeah to the raise for next year, hope that they finally talk to you soon so you are not waiting in limbo any longer.

I'm so irritated with work. I've been helping out another branch for almost a year and I'm just over it.

@NeedUtonite‌ my brother calls anytime any of them gets sick and tries to blame us. Crazy part is that it was my niece (his kid) who gave B pertussis!!! If it would've been the other way around, he would've made me pay their hospital bill....
