I'm so tired today. DH is sick and helpless. I had to do everything by myself this morning and get LO over to daycare. I was 20 minutes late to work and I didn't even get a chance to pack a lunch or my gym bag.
I am attempting to get rid of caffine in my diet. So far, this sucks.
Say what? I feel like caffeine and alcohol have to be staples in your diet if you're a parent. ------------------------------------------------ I can't drink caffeine because Sawyer won't sleep. She hates me. I make up for it in wine.
I feel terribly selfish saying this, but I am wishing I could have enjoyed my mother's day more yesterday. Holidays these days are spent rushing here & there to make sure we see both sides of the families, etc... I just wanted to have a day for myself to do whatever da fuck I wanted, which was sit my ass on teh couch & watch my netflix shows marathon style.
Instead, I had to take both kiddos on a half hour commute to meet up with my mom & sisters & all their kids to sit in a dairy queen that is too small for our group that has grown too large. (& my family doesn't understand most social ettiquette like don't stand in walk ways because there ARE other people here besides us.) Then rush back home for a late lunch/early dinner with H's mom & dad. Then I still had to rush to Target, & since they were out of everything I wanted to get there, I had to rush over to Walmart too. Got home in time to get kiddos to bed.
My bitchfest turned into a novel... here are some sweets for reading it.
Today is my birthday and it kinda sucks. Baby decided NOT to gift me with sleep like she did yesterday so I've been up since 4 am and have to deal with my middle school hoodlums. And no one at work acknowledged my birthday. AND I just went to pump on the only break I have and another mom is in there. I pump at the same time every day, why does she have to be there NOW at my only oppurtunity? She's a floater teacher and can go whenever
I barely sat my stuff down today at school before the panicked counselor came and told me to cover a first grade class "for only like 15 minutes". IT WAS AN HOUR.
In that hour, one kid went to "go get paper towels to clean up a milk spill from breakfast" (we eat breakfast in the classroom), and was gone for 15 minutes. She went to the nurse to get a new skirt from the milk. REALLY?! So I had to have someone watch while I went looking for her. Ugh! End this day!!!
I'm tired of living with my in laws and my MIL's passive aggressive shit. I hate when you post crap on Facebook or just ignore us or leave post it's everywhere! Be a grown up and talk to us about it! Also my SIL no wonder your daughter is rude, she learned it all from you!
My SO says "don't worry about the housework, it's Mothers Day you deserve a break". What he really meant to say "it's Mothers day, don't worry it will be there for you tomorrow". Oh and he slept in and had to go rushing in to work early, not helping me get the girls ready st all this morning. For father's day he is getting a throat punch.
Children are insane at work and I am so tired it's not even funny so this makes for a not so happy day. Also I need to finish the books I am making for a few of them but everytime I try I get a call that I need to run to...
@SweetSouthernMomma08, we've been living with them for about 2 months and hopefully will move out in aug/sept. I'm going on vacation in July with my family so I'll be gone 2-3 weeks. I also don't have the best relationship with my MIL or SIL (neither does DH) so things are rough.

@jyparker725, girl I'm by myself every morning! and every night. working opposite schedules sucks.
I had to take DD to the pedi on Friday for the 6 or 7th time. Diagnosis: Bronchiolitis, ear infection, eye infection. This was her 3rd ear infection. She's following DS's pattern to a T. Basically, she's going to need tubes but the pedi wants us to try and wait until as close to September as possible so that the tubes will last through the fall/winter.
WTH can't I have kids who can fight all this junk off?
What do they mean by last through the winter? DD's stayed in for like 3 years...in fact they had to be surgically removed finally. Do they normally fall out that quick?
My bitch is that I should stop talking shit about people bc when they call me to ask me a question I get all worried they're calling bc they heard what I said.

Ah! What a nightmare! How do you manage?! I learned a lesson today for sure. I need to prep for the week on Sunday. Plus, LO was not having it this morning. She did not want to be put down.

@jyparker725, yeah it's tough, though I'm slowly getting used to it. I used to feel kinda bitter, particularly about having to do every bedtime by myself, but now I've gotten in the swing of it & actually really enjoy reading to her & rocking her to sleep every night. Mornings can be tough though. I feel like I spend most of my evenings just prepping for the morning, haha - getting bottles ready, packing my lunch, packing the diaper bag, picking out my outfit, etc, so that I have as little to do in the morning as possible. Then when I get up I still have to get myself ready, feed LO, get her ready, feed myself, & take my million bags out the door with LO to whichever grandparent is watching her that day, lol. If it was your first time on your own I totally understand! It takes a bit to get it down as far as how much time you need. One day in the beautiful future, about a year & a half from now when DH is done with school, we will actually have the same schedule & he can help me with these things. Oh I can't wait!
My bitch is that I got Simon all packed up this morning to go swimming at the Y with my SIL. I was so excites, it would have been his first time in a pool. I skip the morning nap to get ready while LO slept, we drove 30 mins to get there....and the pool was closed because of thunder. It is a freaking indoor pool! What kind of nonsense is that?? I'm so bummed.
LO may not have gifted me sleep but she gave me the second best thing...she finally POOPED! After 4 days...annnnd daycare had to deal with it, not me lol. The things that excite us these days...
We transitioned to the crib this weekend. L did so well Friday and Saturday nights, only getting up twice. Last night, all hell broke loose and she got up four times. Doesn't she know I have to work?
They can sense you need to get up early and do it on purpose. I swear, LO does the same thing.
THIS! LO slept great Friday and Saturday night. Last night night was crap. Recognize weekends I can sleep during the day, NOT weekdays! So friggin' tired.
So annoyed. I told my dad I was disappointed DH didn't get me a card for Mother's Day and now he's texting DH telling him he should have gotten me one. It's turning in to this huge thing and it's totally not. Now I wish I hadn't said anything.
Why did you tell your dad? What did you expect to have happen?
I'd be irritated too. I'd expect my dad to listen and sympathize, not run off to DH and potentially stir things up.

Yes they fall out. DS first set lasted a year. But they say its possible for them to fall out within 6 months.
Yeah, I knew they fell out but that quick seems nuts. Good Luck!

Oh fuck no..... Currently trying to get rid of the sugar in mine, it blows as well but not as bad as no caffeine.
