My childcare provider told me today she wasn't sure she would be open next year. I love her. My child loves her. The thought of finding someone new terrifies me. We live in a rural area--so it's hard to find legit people.
On a positive note--it's only a two day work week! Plus, I love talking to littles about holidays, so it's a enjoyable 2 days!
I was sent for what I thought was a pre employment drug test today but apparently it’s a full medical and I’ve now been sitting waiting to see a doctor for an hour. Sigh.
I fell down a few stairs carrying my four year old a few days ago - had to leave work and go get checked out because I was having back pain. Then today I had to leave work again because I had some spotting (probably just sex related but I’m still sore from falling so hard to tell how I’m feeling), then the OB on call didn’t realize we are team green and asked how I felt about having another boy...I’m trying to decide now whether to pretend he said nothing or tell my husband. And I’m kind of sad that this is how I found out. I am telling myself that this isn’t a big deal but 1) was really kind of hoping for a girl since it’s my last and I have two (amazing!) boys already and 2) this is so much less fun than finding out at delivery

Sinus infection #4 of this pregnancy. DD coughed in my general direction and I’m once again miserable. This boy better be the healthiest baby in town because I swear he’s sucked every ounce of immunity out of my body.
Saturday my mom informs us that her and my dad want to be alone for thanksgiving. Ok whatever y’all pissed me off anyway.
Then today my dad texts and says they decided to have thanksgiving and made sure to get everything vegetarian but the turkey so we would be able to eat. So you just assume we didn’t make other plans and went ahead and went grocery shopping??
All this after telling me I need to get my tubes tied and figure out how to be a sahm bc no way we could do this with two working parents
My FIL was in town this weekend. He is super flaky, and I was shocked he actually came. He’s so bad we don’t even tell the kids when he is planning to come because he will cancel last minute. He is 65 going on 18. When he is here, apparently all the rules go out the window. I’m currently trying to convince my 4 year old that I don’t care how FIL picks up, it is not okay to throw your toys full force across the room.
On the plus side I got a lot done on some gift baby blankets since I was being ignored anyway.

This is how DH picks up toys..... DS did it and I could only laugh. This is my life with boys. On the plus side DS has great aim and makes the toy box almost every time
@SunflowerMama428 it was funny when it was attempts at hitting the basket. Now it’s just throw the toys as hard as you can in the general direction so he can yell “BRICK!” So many blocks in so many hard to bend to reach places.
I would probably be less annoyed if I wasn’t so uncomfortable crawling around picking up the aftermath.
@jessilee15 I'm glad you're alright, but man, you're doc should've known better! I'm sorry you found out that way :-(
I'm feeling generally annoyed. I feel crappy from this head cold and just want to crawl into bed but I need to pack and get our apartment in order before we leave for the holiday tomorrow, and I don't like any of the dresses I ordered for my shower this weekend.

@jessilee15 I hope you said something to that doctor! Maybe tell DH what happened and let him choose if he wants to know? I know my DH would be so upset if he ever found out I knew and didn’t say anything.

Well I was okay with the first paragraph. ( i would love thanksgiving and all holidays just DH and me)...but weird about the rest. So are you going to go over for holiday?
@jessilee15 I would have been so bummed! I’m so sorry that happened. And I hope you feel better after your fall.
Hearing all your in-law stories makes me really appreciate mine. I feel like I have it good with them.
My b*tchfest turned into winnings story: We bought our nursery furniture and went to pick it up. DH and FIL came over to bring it upstairs to the nursery. As they were unpacking, it was discovered that the crib was cracked in multiple places. I started freaking out thinking that they wouldn’t take it back and order me a new one since we picked up the product and drove it home ourselves. I was afraid they would say that was on us. So I slept maybe 3 hours that night. DH takes it back to the store, they’re super understanding and don’t even look to make sure it’s broken. Then end up giving DH a gift card for $175 for the inconvenience and order us a brand new one. So I freaked out over nothing, and we got some $$ back in our pockets. I’m one happy mamma.
Us too @jenniferjoy37. Our nightstand (aka my snack holding station) had a broken leg and the crib has a crack in one piece. They were very understanding. New nightstand will be here in a December and they ordered us a new piece for the crib. Seems like it's a common occurence.
Winning: dh had started reading his parenting book and agreed to go to child birth classes! I also survived my 3 hour glucose test.
Complaining: my mother will be here in a matter of hours, and i have to be polite And survive her company Until Sunday night. We have some unpleasant work related business to attend to that i had hoped to resolve before she arrive (i sent her a report of the issue 2 weeks ago), she however decided not to address it at all, so i know we'll have to do it while she's here.
@chucksmom15 I’m glad they were able to order a new one for you! You can’t not have a snack drawer. I actually love that idea. Ha, I might have to get one now...

Snack drawer is going to be my lifeline during breastfeeding lol. And it gives me somewhere to put a drink and my phone next to the chair.
We had our parent teacher interviews tonight (which sucks when you and your 2 year old get home at 7:30) but a mom came in and told me that I looked fantastic! That made my night!
My in laws decided they were going out of state for thanksgiving the year which mean we don’t have to deal with a fight, Smokey house, watching DS like a hawk because BIL will literally swing the nieces and nephews around by their heads, and tears about how my family gets Soooo much more time with DS. WINNING!!!
@smorzandoj What the hell is wrong with people? I want to throw something at them. THIS is why people hate the holidays.
My father has no filter and thinks everything is his business. He’s always been that way which is why I moved out when I was 17.
Hooidays suck. Cheesecake Factory would have been way better.
I keep telling DH that we could tell my family I'm with his family and his family I'm with mine and then we could hide in our house with the dogs. One day we may just do it.
@GoogleMD - Jealous. My MIL is flying in to spend the holiday with us and my family so I'm getting a double dose of family fun.
@ash0625 ugh that’s the worst. DS birthday party was 2 weeks ago and obviously both sets of grandparents were there. Absolute torture. I feel like my MIL analyzes everything that is said in order to find something to be upset about.
My 2 y.o is going through a phase where he thinks my dad is the coolest person on the planet. Which my MIL has decided means that he loves my parents more than them *cue water works*
H just called because he had a "funny" conversation with his younger brother. This is the brother who is 24, failed out of college after one semester because he just didn't go to class, lived at home while working full time but couldn't afford to move out, then finally got a job paying enough to move out but still lives at home. Brother says he'll "never move out" because his mom "won't let" him. Yes, a 24-year-old is saying his mom "won't let" him move out. When H pressed for what that meant, he got the same answer. "She just won't let me." I told H to talk to his mom about this, because I know his mom likes having him at home (she's a caretaker at heart) but she needs to be a parent and push him to be independent and maybe she doesn't know what the brother is saying about her. H says he'll talk to her about it if in a year he's still at home. I said "So what you're telling me is that every time we go to your parents' house to visit, he will be there." Which bugs the crap out of me. Whenever we go visit every thing we do has to involve the brother, who is immature (obviously), loud, rude, and just gets on my nerves. We'll be there next weekend for my baby shower, so maybe H will have a drink and let something slip to start the conversation with his mom anyway.
Sidenote: H's parents aren't going anywhere for Thanksgiving this year and are very bitter about that, because they expected to be invited to someone's house. So instead they're sitting at home and being angry. It always surprises me that in this giant family that is so close and all up in each other's business, their communication skills are shit. They let grudges like this linger forever!

@smorzandoj If my or DH's family did this, I would totally boycott. Blah!
