What's everyone up to this 1st weekend of the new year?

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

I'm going to the doctor at 1. Can't stand this crap anymore. I thought I was feeling marginally better yesterday morning. Well now I have this terrible tasting mucous in my mouth. DH keeps arguing with me that I don't need a hospital. That's why I'm going to my doctor's office, moron! He tells me it's the same thing. Ummm. No. He doesn't know anything about doctors and offices since he refuses to go to them when he's sick. A medical office is for non-urgent care.

We were in Charleston until 8:30 last night, so we didn't get home until after 11. I felt so awful for my poor pup! But he made it without an accident. I was trying to get DH to move his butt with the stuff he wanted to do but he's such a perfectionist. I wish he would have just made certain things look acceptable. Like he complained I did a shitty job painting the deck but it was 1) dark and 2) RAINING. It wasn't supposed to rain but he is probably going to have to go back again to repaint it because of the rain. We had to paint though because it had white blotches all over it from the spackle. Oh well.

We just got home from target. Bought another one of those cube shelves to organize more and lots of other stuff to tackle the clutter in the house. After lunch the Christmas decorations are coming down and the cleaning will begin.

Mrs_Lady · January 2015

My girlfriend canceled our plans to see Selma after i put B to bed tonight
So i plan to snuggle with hubby and drink wine instead oh well

Husband took girl to the little museum in town. Most of the displays are touchable and theres a dig put to find plastic dinosaurs. Its a cute little place! Im gorging on video games.

This is the first time Husband has been out in public alone with the girl for longer than like 10 min. He's made quick stops on the way to his parents' but not anything like this.

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

Went to the doc. Sinus infection. Amoxicillan, work some wonders!

stephcarter · January 2015

Went to the new house with plans to paint my bathroom, repaint the girls bathroom (hate the color!), the living room, and finish up the kitchen where FIL spackled. Finished both bathrooms and then BOOM. migraine hit. drove home (always a bad idea) and slept for a few hours. Head still hurts but not nearly as bad. Now I'll be tired and in a fog for at least a day

scrumpfy · January 2015

Un-Christmas ing the house. I'm really anal about how stuff gets put away, so it takes forever. The girls were both cranky this morning, I'm hoping its bc they were up late with their cousins and a long nap will take care of it. I'm hoping to just chill out with mh tonight and have a cocktail.

CnAnA · January 2015

@mbm1983 Dragon Age. Duh! LOL This is my third playthrough. I may be slightly addicted.

@BandEddie A loves to whine "Moooommmeeeeeeeeeeeee" at me. For some reason Mommy being whined at me grates on my nerves so much more than Momma being whined at me does. I think it's the "eeeeee" sound that makes me want to stab out my ear drums.

nickschick! · January 2015

Hubs and I had a day date. Sis watched the kids.
Now I'm waiting to watch some college bb.

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

DH decided that E didn't need a nap today since he's been staying up until 10 at night some nights. So, here we are at 6:40 trying to play the "keep-the-toddler-awake" game until 8. He was falling asleep as the table for dinner. I'm fuming because DH basically insisted I was stupid and don't know anything about my children since I was insisting he needed a nap. Now he looks stupid.

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

@mbm198 E likes to hide all the things under the couch. Every cup he finishes ends up there so I just always look there when something is missing.

StefanieM522 · January 2015

Finished cleaning the housr this morning and then had my nails done and spent a few hours with my sister today. It was nice and relaxing except wesley only toom a 20minute nap today so he is being a little whiney, we have had lots of tantrums this afternoon. Hoping he wont fight bedtime so hard.

Also i had a snowman painted on my nails today and when wesley saw them he called him olaf.

StefanieM522 · January 2015

@mbm1983‌ that grey banister looks amazing!

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

@NeedUtonite‌ That would bother me. I see no craziness in how you're feeling.

scrumpfy · January 2015

@NeedUtonite‌ , my H is also a pronoun switcher for his benefit and it makes me bonkers. "We" are not cleaning, I am. "We" didn't did not wake up the baby, you did. But *he* has been watching the girls allll day. Or for like an hour, while "we" clean.

CnAnA · January 2015

Husband lasted 20 min at the museum before he said A got bored so he went to his mom's. Bless his heart i know he is trying. But i said I needed a day of him being Alpha parent. I got 3 hours. Now he's taking another nap. Yes, another. He got up with her at 7, thrn went and laid down as soon as I got up at 8:30. Slept for 45 min then had to run into work. Took the girl for a few hours, now napping again. I'm still pissy.

For good reason...

20 min? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.

Yep. He said they left after 20 min. It was nice to have 3 hours alone but dude. So now I'm seriously letting her do pretty much whatever she wants. We are watching youtube videos and i just put on a movie. Not dealing with it today.

CnAnA · January 2015

Aaaand now hes sick. Fantastic.

CnAnA · January 2015

@NeedUtonite‌ agreed. But at this point it's not even worth the fight to call him on it.

CnAnA · January 2015

@needutonight and you can be damn sure this subject will be revisited. LOL

In all fairness, I have taken over his computer. I left them in the living room and I'm hiding in the bedroom.

@scrumpfy love tit for solidarity

Do you think your H is doing it on purpose? I've talked to mine before about and he acts like he doesn't even know he's doing it. The thing that scares me about it is it seems like a slippery slope to a complete loss of my identity (I only exist as part of a couple) - which is how his parents work. His mom is basically his dad's assistant/backup/understudy. Since that is what he grew with, I think that is the behavior he is falling into now. Not cool (obvi).

Nah, I don't think mine does it like that. I don't feel like I'm only half a couple, and that's definitely not something he'd pick up from his parents - they have zero shared interests and barely see each other.

I think it's just more for his ego. He does something awesome= he is awesome. scrumpf does something awesome= WE are awesome. He does something lame = WE did something lame. Deflecting blame for bad stuff, taking credit for good, etc.

CnAnA · January 2015

My kod slept until 8am today! THEN she actually took a human sized bite of her egg! Best morning ever!

Backstory, my kid hates most protein. Especially for breakfast. Even bacon, the little weirdo. LOL so i had her help me scramble an egg, then told her she could have the pepperoni she asked for if she took a bite of her egg. I win!

Why does my kid turn evil when he's around me for more than 1 day in a row?

Because 2 year olds are little shits. Thry can be on their best/moderate behavior for about a day, then the evil comes out.

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

I am rocking this first week of 2015, despite my sinus infection. I lost 4 lbs since last Sunday when I recommitted to my weight loss, took the tree down and put all of Christmas away, dusted, vacuumed, paid all the bills and sorted mail, and finished the laundry. (My bathrooms are in desperate need of attention, but I'll get to it.) I got DH to set up all the new storage cubes in the boys' room for books and stuffed animals and moved the old small shelves into the nursery room and play room. That was a big project!

After 24 hours of antibiotics, I have the organization bug to get things done since I mostly layed around for 4 days other than our day trip to Charleston.

nealbl · January 2015

We closed on our house on the 23. Started moving and slept there on the 27. Yesterday we had or first house warming party! We have literally gone through every tub and box and thrown away so much junk. It was so refreshing. Almost have all decor up!

stephcarter · January 2015

Floors!!!

SD's room is the teal one, B's is the mauve-ish one (I think I may repaint, it didn't look pink at all when I picked it and now it does) and ours is the gray one down the hallway!

Getting soooo close!!!

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

Was just going to give a shout out to @GoGoGadgetWine‌ for her 43 lb weight loss!

Edited: Because I'm an idiot and had a brain fart over screen names lol.

stephcarter · January 2015

@Rachelilly23‌ she's @GoGoGadgetWine‌ now isn't she?

And @NeedUtonite‌ DH picked them
out and I was really nervous about them! But I'm happy he insisted on these!

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

Speaking of losing weight, if anyone wants to join in on myfitnesspal or fitbit/be one of my friends, send me a PM with your email (for fitbit add) and screen name (for myfitnesspal)

I need as much motivation as possible.

Bye bye Christmas vacation..... Work starts again tomorrow :-<

I'm not looking forward to having to go back to work tomorrow and thenworking all week.

scrumpfy · January 2015

@piffley‌, C never falls asleep on me anymore, and I think if she did I would sit there as long as possible to soak up the snuggles.

chricast · January 2015

Love the floors @stephcarter can't wait to come over when your all moved in to see all your renovations!

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

@NeedUtonite‌ I really think we're married to the same dude. That happens here all the time. "Where did you hide xyz??????" I just want to tell him to STFU. Since when does putting away=hiding? Half the time it's his own fault. The rest of the time I can usually logically remember where I stored something. It's a rare occasion where I put something away and can't figure out where.

CnAnA · January 2015

Ok guys. I'm gonna ramble a bit. Ready?

Alaska sucks. Especially in the winter. It's cold (although this year hasn't been so cold) and dark. And enclosed, which is kind of ironic given where I live. But I'm stuck here until I can bust out at least $500/ticket. So that's at least $1k for me and A. I don't have that kind of money. Blah. So I've been very down lately. And frankly, lonely. I don't have many real people friends, and those I do live 35min to an hour away so we don't get together often.

Sat down with Husband tonight and laid it all out for him. I'm sad, lonely, homesick, and I have cabin fever. So we discussed a lot of different options. We made a plan. (I'm telling you this so I stick to it. LOL)

1) I'll attend any meet ups I can with my local babywearing group. I'm in the process of setting one up now.
2) I'll go tomorrow and sign up for Planet Fitness. I'll be waking up at around 5:00 to go for about 30 or 45 min, including tanning. Yes, skin cancer, I know. But a gym membership is cheaper than a SAD light. True story. And something has to give.
3) I will make a point to be outside once a day, for at least 30 min, weather permitting. This MUST happen. Sunlight is absolutely necessary for my sanity, apparently.

I won't be planning a trip out of state for now. We're going to see if me getting more active and meeting more people helps my state of mind first.

So there you have it. The Keep CnAnA From Losing Her MInd plan.

CnAnA · January 2015

@mambonumber5 is that good or bad if thry move it up?

nickschick! · January 2015

@CnAnA‌ , I struggle with the lack of sun in iowa during the winter, so I can only imagine! I think I need a lamp. I had a mole removed in a September and the dermatologist scared the shit out of me but tanning was good for the sad. I have a billion moles or I'd probably tan anyway.

I think Norah's having nightmares. She wakes in a panic asking for me and insists I sit in her chair. Half the time I fall asleep but I'm not getting the sleep I need. I feel bad as she acts terrified, but I'm so tired. H let me sleep in today which helped....

StefanieM522 · January 2015

@Cnana hugs to you. It sounds like a good plan and i hope it helps you! We are here whenever you need us but i know its not the same as being in person!

@WanderingStars23‌ hugs for tomorrow and tonight. I hope you find a new job that you love so its not so bad for you!

@mambonumber5‌ hope you get ood news regarding the move.

CnAnA · January 2015

Thabks so much guys! I feel like I dump out all my feels here a lot. I swear I am relatively stable! (Usually. LOL)

We looked into various gyms, but the ones with childcare are just too expensive. The $20/mo for PF is gonna have to come out of my fun money as it is. But I will get a couple hours to myself by the time you factor in driving there, changing, workout, tan, massage chair, drive home, thrn shower. So that'll be good. And in the immortal words of Elle Woods, "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't kill their husbands!"

Rachelilly23 · January 2015

@CnAnA‌ Before you quoted Elle Woods, I was just going to mention endorphins! I think you'll feel a lot better working out!
