Anyone?

ready-or-not · October 2014

Todays agenda includes a trip to the dr for my yearly PAP. I have no sitter avaliable so the littles will come with me.

After MS being a complete 2 year old jerk all day yesterday I can not wait to be stuck in stirrups spread eagle while also keeping him in check.

Fun times!

Good luck @Brewcitygal‌! They know you'll be going out at any time now anyways, so hopefully your boss will be understanding.

I had my ob appointment yesterday, I'm like about 2 cm dilated, so nothing crazy. I decided I would work the rest of this week and then maybe start leave next week.

After having contractions all night and feeling like shit, I changed my mind and will be calling HR to start my FMLA leave today. I can't wait to have that conversation with my boss.

Will your boss be upset?

How do you know if you're just really cynical or have a diagnosable social disorder? Asking for a friend.

Just me and the baby this week - DH is out of town - and I'm sick. On the upside they added Gilmore Girls to Netflix last night. A day of baby cuddles and Netflix bingeing? I think yes.

ETA: Just once I'd like to post on mobile without having to edit because of autocorrect.

I had emailed a guy yesterday and told him I'd be coming tomorrow (today) to buy a piece of furniture he had listed on CL and not to sell it. We decided on a time and everything. He emailed me last night at 8 and said he sold it.

Jackass.

I was going to post a funny picture about it being Wednesday but putting "hump day" into Google images search turned out to be BAD idea while at work.

Obviously the brain isn't quite awake yet and I need some coffee.

tbmadeamistake · October 2014

Watching movies until the library opens and we can go to story time. Cannot wait for therapy tonight if only because it means an hour and a half of me time. Plus, I get to drive dh's car with the turbo when I go to therapy so he has the car with the car seats. Drive fast, blast my music, talk about me an hour? Yes please.

I look like grumpy cat this morning. I really hope my co workers sense said grumpiness and give me space today. DS1 has transformed into Mr. Hyde 24/7 and DS2 thinks being up from 12am-2am is the cool thing to do.

I'm home with DS today. My parents are coming in and we are going to take him to the zoo. I'm hoping he'll stay in the stroller the whole time because we still have to keep his activity low.

Is he feeling okay today, too?

ready-or-not · October 2014

I am sooooo not missing month end closes! You gals have all my sorries!!

I had promised my boss I would be willing to come in while on maternity leave & help close out since it is primarily my job, but so far I have only fielded a few dozen phone calls & boycotted coming in. Sorrynotsorry!

Why do kids hate sleep??

I am not sure. I have tried reasoning with them and apparently that does not work.

My pumpkin spice K cup is not that great

It smelled so good that I had high hopes. It's making me cranky. I tried to get O to let me watch Gilmore Girls but, we are watching Daniel Tiger. Z is being an angel though so it evens out.

Also O didn't get teeth until over a year old. Z is drooling so so much. Is it normal for three month old to be teething? Maybe he is just a drooly baby.

@Rach7170 DS2 started drooling a ton around three months and did not get any teeth until 8.5 months. I think that 3-6 months old is peak drool time.<br>

Sorry your coffee was disappointing.

The couch we bought did not fit up the stairs yesterday so the delivery guys had to bring it back. Now we have to look for a new one this weekend. I am sad about the couch but do love furniture shopping and am gonna keep an eye out for other stuff we may/may not need (like a King bed)!

Sorry about the couch but I say go for it with the King bed. We had that debate when we got married and I'm so glad we got the king. Though, we have one and if one of the kids sneak in they still insist on sleeping as close to me as possible and pushing me over until I am sleeping with my head on the nightstand.

I'm in a master bathroom renovation spiral. DH and I really need to settle on a budget because I could spend A LOT of money. Work is slow today so I know what I'm doing today.

This story will make it sound like DH and I lack common sense, which is not usually the case. We were remodeling our downstairs bathroom about 5 years ago. Our contractor sent us to a showroom to pick out all of the items for the bathroom. I am not sure why we didn't ask for price information, but we basically just picked everything out based on how it looked. When we got the price breakdown after everything was installed we realized that we had picked out a $500 faucet. I still laugh about it every time I turn on the faucet.

So I need gift giving advice...I am notoriously over-generous but really need to dial that down. One of DD's DC teachers is starting another job and her last day is Friday. DD has been in her class for 5 months now. The teacher is not her primary but she is there with DD every morning since DD is an early arrival. I was thinking of getting her a card and a gift card as a thank you/good luck gift. DH said that is overboard and not necessary. What do you think? If you were to get a gift card how much would be appropriate? TIA!

That's very nice of you but I think a thank you card would suffice. If you really wanted to do a gift I think that even a $10-$15 starbucks card would be ok (enough for a breakfast and coffee).

I've been lurking a lot and posting less, but I think maybe I want to change that.

Also, I'm feeling a little bloated this morning because I ate a full basket of hot wings and had two beers for dinner last night. Maybe I shouldn't eat as much as a man that's 6'5" (I'm 5'3") and probably has a hundred pounds on me? LMK.

Like a giant hole burning from your stomach outward.

yep, that's pretty much how it feels

I have the opposite problem sort of. I suck at gift giving. I'm trying to put together a shower gift for a good friend of mine and I'm stuck. I got her the pot set off of her registry for her wedding present, but it won't be here for the shower. So I thought I would make her a kind of wedding day survival kit with a nice personalized insulated cup, a smoothie and coffee gift card, protein bar, ect. But I cant think of anything else to put in it. What are some things everyone needed on their big day that saved the day, or made it more enjoyable? I suck at being creative. Sorry for the blog post there

breath mints or gum

kleenex or handkerchief

booze

secretsout · October 2014

I feel like I can not get back on track after this weekend. I am exhausted. It probably doesn't help that I stayed up late last night to watch stupid Sons of Anarchy. And then my husband wanted to talk to me for ever about nothing really important.

DS started teething around 10 weeks and cut his first tooth on the same day he turned four months - he got the other bottom middle one a couple days later.

DS started teething at 3 months, but popped his first teeth around 5 or 6 months.

Really, really bad acid reflux-y type pain, but concentrated a bit lower than your esophagus. I do not recall it feeling like gas/sour stomach, more sharp and acidic. I was pretty young, so I kinda blocked out the severity. Like, I remember there being a lot of pain, but I don't remember the pain itself very well. Weird.

Hello everyone.

I have been lurking for a bit and decided to finally say hi! Today started off promising when I was able to get up and out of the house 15 minutes earlier than usual in effort to actually get to work on time. Well now I've been stuck at a train for 20 minutes and can't move. Whatever, I guess better luck tomorrow.

ready-or-not · October 2014

Oh yay, & i just realized my appointment is at 11:40 instead of 11. Pushing right at naptime & DDs next feeding time.

So fresh hell is what I'll be getting into today,

jesuisfatiguee · October 2014

I don't feel well today. I think the pumpkin cider I drank was too sweet. I only had one! But on a practically empty stomach, so...

I'm going to try to get a haircut tomorrow. I requested the day off and was going to spend some time with Cute Dad, but now I'm just going to take myself on a day-long date.

Sucks for him though, because he was really low-balling himself, so we were going to pay more than he was asking. He wanted $50 for a really nice piece that could easily sell for $150+. We were going to give him $100.

Another person was laid off last week. I guess he called the boss Monday and said 'Oh I forgot to tell you, I'm attending the XYZ Conference and won't be in the office today'. Ok, no biggie, boss was travelling a lot and they hadn't crossed paths. There's a shared department calendar that he should have put the update in but yea... whatever.

Next day, 'Oh the conference was so great, I'm going to go back today'. So Boss looks up the conference. Guy was ON THE PANEL REPRESENTING THE COMPANY! Boss was so pissed. He's technically not a company employee either, he's a vendor contractor. So he went to this conference and basically took credit for work the entire department worked on has a team, and without anyone's permission.

So weird.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around what just happened. That sounds super, super bizarre.

FalconCrest · October 2014

I have the house to myself right now. Only 7 out of my 14 students showed up at school today, so the director told me I could go have a few hours of quiet time if I wanted. I don't know what to do with myself!

tattooedtragedy · October 2014

It's fiscal year close time so everyone in my department is on level 100000. Everyone needs to CTFD. And thanks to my teething baby I didn't sleep much last night and since she doesn't react well to caffeine I can't even have real coffee

It's going to be a long week

Ha! Yes, he's sort of a monster.

We saw the Behavioral Psychologist yesterday about DS1. She does think he would benefit from being evaluated for attention/sensory/focus issues. I'm glad we have a plan but it makes me feel a little sad. I just want him to be happy and healthy so I know this is the right path.

DH is getting his vasectomy on Friday. I'm a little sad but mostly just excited that we are that much closer to getting rid of condoms forever. They are excruciating since I had DD and I didn't even push her out of my vag.

I'm on a Fiona spiral now b/c I just read @jesuisfatiguee 's fake GBCB post from the other day.
