  Today is my ex's birthday. I'm so used to doing something for him that it's hard to ignore it. Just text him this

  Just threw up the cold pizza I decided was going to be my hangover cure...I'm such a good example to Quinn, where's my mother of the year award?

  @dani+california‌ I'll see your hangover barfing and raise you a 10 year high school reunion that resulted in me feeding A what must have been close to straight vodka. And really anything that happens today. Didn't help her sleep any better though. Not sure if I'm hungover or still drunk this morning.

  @mamrotu73‌ I am a little envious of your awesome sleep night. E was up every 1.5-2 hours. I'm tired

  Ugh, I'm feeling guilty DH came home from work early at 5am. I was almost back to sleep at 5:30 when I thought I heard something. So I looked up at the monitor to see if DD was awake and the monitor was off! I jumped up and ran to her room (right next to ours) and sure enough she was bawling, poor kiddo. She calmed right down and went back to sleep after nursing but I feel so bad! DH said she wasn't crying when he came to bed and walked right past her door. But I totally might've made her CIO in the middle of the night without even knowing it

  Don't worry. I did the same thing the other night. Ds was just fine in the morning. I still feel bad, but we can't be perfect all the time

  The nap fairy must have been hanging out at our house this weekend. Both yesterday and today have included a three hour and two hour nap. Sending out good nap juju to whoever needs it; we seem to have it in spades here right now!

  I think it is time for me to get a new washing machine. Mine has started creating cycles of it's own. I am looking at an LG that has really good reviews but I am wondering what RTT says? Front loader or top loader? I have never had a front loader.

  We've got an LG top loaderwe have had for about 10 years and its still going strong! Its one without the central agitatir and we love it. OMG i can't believe its 10 years old! Only realised that writing this post! Should throw it a party!

  Finally back home and waiting for ds1 to wake up! He had a really tough weekend, he was very upset that I was gone. I called yesterday and he was so upset thinking I was "at work" (which is where Daddy has been for 5 months). I told him I was just shopping and I'd be back today after nap, but it was still heartbreaking.

  My parents moved to South Texas from where we live (Denver metro) 7 years ago, before we had kids. It's a 14 hr drive. Now we travel down there once a year (driving) at thanksgiving. I am a phobic flyer and I love road trips, so it's ok, and it's the only way we could bring the big dog with us. And it would cost us 3x as much to fly than to drive. I don't mind being away from home for the holiday- it's just taken on a new meaning being somewhere else.

  I've had some serious baby fever for a few months. I don't plan on trying again until end of next year but some days I'm itching to have another so bad. Stupid brain.

  @Vinny424 - when my supply has dipped from me being sick and dehydrated or stressed or whatever, Cora gets fussy and bites and pulls at my nipples and acts hungry after she eats.  She will also take both sides where usually she has one side per feeding.

  
  

  I remedy it by drinking tons of water, drinking Mother's Milk tea, eating oatmeal (not instant), taking fenugreek and alfalfa, and trying to get enough sleep (ha!) because when I'm better rested, I seem to produce more.  I also pump part time now that I'm back to work, so it's easier for me to tell when my supply is going up or down.
