I didn't hear anything, so I contacted the HR lady this afternoon. She said decisions are due by COB tomorrow, so I'm guessing Thursday now. I hate the waiting and uncertainty!
Does anyone else feel like they never have an appetite for dinner?? I was not hungry at all this evening, but now that my husband has woken me up, my stomach has that queasy empty feeling, but I am still not mentally hungry. I am eating crackers now as I wait to get tired again.

Yeah I've been feeling this too. I thought it was just stress cause I've had some stressful evenings and when I get stressed I lose my appetite.
Last. Right especially I didn't wanna eat at first cause I had a bad experience at my mom group. Venting time! The whole point of this group is for support in all aspects of motherhood just like we give each other here. It tends to lean mostly towards breastfeeding cause the woman who invites you to join is an LC. That wasn't so bad in the beginning cause when Preston was little I needed a lot of support about the tongue tie thing. Now Preston is the oldest baby in the group and the breastfeeding relationship has been great and I wanna talk about other stuff like eating solids and sleeping, playing and other milestones but I kinda get pushed to the side. What's worse is that when we finally get around to one of these topics, I feel like I get judged bad. The second you mention sleep training or sleep coaching, people assume the worst so half the time I was explaining what we were doing and how it was not CIO and the other half of the time I was defending my choice because they were concerned that Preston and I won't have that tight bond or attachment. Like really?! Him and I are so close I can wake up before he does and know if he is gonna wake up. I tend to his needs and can read his emotions. I have a friend who room shares and she has admitted to me that she makes sure she is around people every day so someone else can watch or hold the baby who btw is now 8 months!! So don't tell me that co-sleeping is the only way to build that bond and don't tell me that he feeling lonely and abandoned in his room. He loves his crib and sometimes he will wake up and I won't know it cause he finds something in there to look at and play with. Does that sound like a messed up kid to you? Point is that every time I go there, even if I have great news like him sleeping through the night or he started solids (which they thought we started too early, eyeroll) I get judged rather than share excitement. You guys are way better of a group bit I still wish I could have in person interaction. The only thing I did that I loved was the stroller Boot camp but because of the testing for my heart, I had to stop going. Ok end rant.

I am sorry, that stinks! Do you think part of the problem is that iit's run by an LC and they tend to have strong views on these things? I don't think I have met as many people who know everything as I have since I got pregnant. the thing I don't understand is that we know the recommendations have changed so much over recent years, they are likely to keep changing as we learn more, so why does everyone think they know everything?

@adiaz132003 have you looked into finding a new group? It's much easier to find new friends once your LOs starts school. My library has a story time and that's a great place to meet moms with LOs the same age, they group the story times by ages. I'm sorry though because it does suck when you're going somewhere for support and instead have to defend yourself.

School age is a long ways away and we plan to homeschool so there will be a lot more interaction between the parents than public school I think.
For me preschool was when I really started making friends with my sons classmates parents, both my boys started preschool at 3 because of speech issues. A few of the preschools have speech Patholigist at them for the preschoolers and it's been great. From my experience there's been a good amount of interaction between parents I've made friends with sahms and working parents. I know school is far away and I'm thankful for that because time is flying by and Charlotte is my last baby. My friend was homeschooled after 2nd grade and she really liked it, she was bored in school and that's why her mom decided to homeschool her and her sister. Can I ask why you want to homeschool? I'm just being nosy, you don't have to tell me if you don't want. I think as long as we go with our gut and do what's best for our LOs that's all that matters.

We wanna do it because I can control the lesson plan. For example if we wanna learn American history and I start teaching about presidents and Preston shows interest in Abe Lincoln and the civil war. Rather than say "don't worry we cover the next month" I'm gonna change to focus on that. Kids absorb so much more when they have a interest in a subject.
Eta: it's also easier to out then into public school rather than take then out. If Preston asks me he wants to go to middle school then I'll let him do it.
Most of my friends are from church, or moms from preschool, library story time, or our community (we live in a cool neighborhood with lots of parks). It's hard to make make really good friends though.
@Tawny87 I'm in south Aurora. We love going to Fort Collins and doing brewery tours, new Belgium will always be my favorite. They just give fun tours and free beer! But now that we have 3 LOs it's harder to leave them for more then a couple of hours.

Right?! We hardly leave the house anymore it seems. We went to the springs on Friday and my three yr olds made us pay for it big time!
Still no news about the job. They practically said it was mine in the interview, but something might have changed. Ugh, I need to find something before the end of the year!

The days not over yet, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Over fall break I wanted to take the kids to the museum of nature and science but they caught a stomach bug that lasted 9 days! My 6yr old was so sad. Luckily no one had issues while we drove home from Breckenridge.
To all those who've been asking, I didn't get the job. The offered it to someone else yesterday. I'm going to go scream into a pillow now
That's so frustrating. I feel your pain. I recently had a job offer recinded from me. I'm still on the hunt too if you need someone to commiserate with. Job searching is the worst...

Oy ve. Now Preston suddenly wants to be on his back and play instead of sleep. The room is pitch black so it's not like he can see anything to play with. He just keeps flipping all over the place. I'm just hoping he will learn to roll on his tummy when he's ready to fall asleep cause right now he hasn't figured that part out yet.

Just me and the two year old and four month old for the next 30 hours or so. I need to think of somewhere to go with them so I don't drive myself crazy stressing at home

Thanks for all the ideas! Two trips to the park, one to the store, tag in the front yard, coloring, dancing, bubble bath and wrestling have made up most of our day
bed time pretty soon, so I'll have the night to myself. Just trying to decide which movie to watch after I do dishes

am I weird for thinking that's crazy? My kindergartener does not need to stay the night at a friend's house
