I am so glad that shit show holiday weekend is over!!!!! Our plumbing bit it on Friday, then last night some of our electric went because it got sprayed by water during the plumbing fiasco. So far everything is fixed (FOR NOW). It all happened during the witching hour and bedtime last night. Iβm exhausted.
Story Hour starts this week so thatβs something to look forward to. My grandma said she would watch Baby Mermaid so the Toddler and I can have one on one time.

That was the longest long weekend ever. I had a shit fit on Saturday about the amount of *stuff* we had accumulated so I cried and then handed off the baby and started purging.
I had to get SO to move some shelving in the basement and when he moved it away from the wall it was covered in mould. Uggggh. Then I cried some more and called our landlord.

I hope the house nonsense is over for both of you
SO started a new job today. Itβs a more consistent schedule but he now works a 7am-7pm shift. I feel like those will suck the most. For both of us.

Sorry for the rough times everyone. Hopefully the rest of September isnβt quite as big of a mess as the first couple days have been.
Fussiest baby ever over here. Itβs like heβs a completely different baby. He is not happy unless heβs being held and youβre switching activities every 30 seconds. I brought his teachers donuts this morning because I had a feeling he wasnβt going to have a great day.

We have a tooth! I hope this explains the 45 minute stretches of sleep the last three nights.

All the first day of school pics on fb are really getting to me today. L starts preschool tomorrow and heβs so excited. He makes me update the sleeps countdown on the fridge as soon as he wakes up. Iβm excited too but I swear that he was just Bs age like yesterday.

Sorry for the rough weekends for everyone. I hope the house problems are resolved soon.
We actually had a good weekend. My in laws watched the girls on Sunday for about 8 hours and Mh and I went on a date. I desperately needed that time away from the baby since she has been so clingy lately.
Yesterday we went swimming at my sister's. It was L's first time and she loved it. She just laid in her floatie and took a nap in the water.
D1 has started the pre-K program at her daycare and she really likes it so far. So the mornings are no longer a battle because she is excited to go to school. Friday she woke up in tears because she wanted to go to school but she doesn't go on Fridays.

I'm kind of glad the weekend is over too. Its been so freaking hot lately and I just can't handle it. I was bitter and crabby yesterday that we couldn't do anything fun for the holiday because it was 95 degrees and humid. Even the baby was crabby about the heat. I'm over it.
DS starts school on Thursday and we are scrambling to find care for him today and tomorrow since summer camp is over.

calendula I feel you on the heat. We went to a festival on Sunday and it was miserable. Sooo hot and overcrowded. Poor L was just laid back in the stroller all sweaty with red cheeks. I hate being cooped up in the house when the sun is shining but itβs way too hot to get out and do anything.

Sorry for the rough weekends everyone had.
My weekend was meh. Friday was a good day H and I took DS1 to an amusement park for the day. DS2 stayed at my parentβs house. Saturday I felt miserable. I had a horrible headache and a very sore knee. H ended up getting called into work that evening so I stayed at my parentβs house another night. Sunday DS1 had a meltdown when we were leaving and said some hurtful things. I think the stress in the house with our upcoming move and him witnessing a few arguments H and I have had is making him scared. My mom called yesterday morning and told me she was very worried about DS1. I told her I didnβt have time to discuss it and hung up on her. She would start blaming H and I for everything and telling me everything I βshouldβ change.
I am tired I have been up since 3:30 am. I am hoping that I sleep better tonight.

I'm trying to sleep train for naps this week. I got a 35 minute nap in the PNP today. So not the best but not the worst and it wasn't on me.
I don't want to jinx it but we are getting decent stretches at night now. I'll get a 4-5 hour stretch with the zipadee zip and RNP. Once I get her daytime sleep figured out in the PNP I'm going to transition her to her crib at night.

Had an ok weekend. Iβm still recovering I think from the extra load of having MIL here to look after. She is doing well and went home Sunday but Iβve been physically and emotionally exhausted and teary since. The baby isnβt really napping, I feel like I canβt do anything right with that. He just will not go down awake. We have a run where heβll feed to sleep and transfer all good and then it goes to shit again. Weβre in the βshit againβ stage and he is so overtired. Heβs trying to soothe with his thumb but if I leave his hand out he scratches the shit out of his face and βunsettlesβ.
Iβm also struggling with needing surgery for pelvic issues from pregnancy/labour/delivery. Like, logistically I canβt even get away to get a hair cut or get a shower alone at home so how in the hell do I have surgery and stay in hospital and then recover from surgery? I was sick last week and literally could not get a break to rest (see not napping baby).
Why arenβt there mum sick days built into this gig? Who do I call about that lol?

Popping in and trying to catch up to the past few weeks here. Sorry Iβve been so sporadic about checking in. No real updates - work is kicking my ass and Iβm so busy itβs crazy. I feel like I have zero time for me these days so nothing fun to report.
DS1βs first day of preschool is tomorrow and Iβm so excited for him. We met his teacher last week and he seems excited! I canβt wait to hear how it goes for him.

Sorry that was a bit ranty and downer! On a positive, after I called him crying post surgeon appointment, H came home from work and took me out to get Mexican for lunch then came home and held the baby while I showered and did a hair mask. It was so so needed.

I have to figure out the surgery thing too. I think Iβm going to stay at my parents for a few days but nothing about that will be relaxing. When do you go for it? Can you do a childcare thing for a couple of days? I donβt know. Itβs stumping me too.

Can you do a childcare thing for a couple of days? I donβt know. Itβs stumping me too. My surgeon was good in that itβs not going to get worse really so I can put it off a little (we just sold our house and havenβt bought a new one and may have to stay at MILβs between houses- not doing surgery recovery there nope!) The recovery will be a couple of weeks so Iβm thinking both kids in daycare, either put it off until DS2 weans or move him onto formula. I donβt think I can manage pumping, organising freezer stash, etc. as well. H can take time off luckily to help me, as we work in education, I could probably time it to a school vacation period so thereβs some overlap and he doesnβt have to take too much leave/lose out on having a break himself over the school vacation. I need to make sure we have somewhere to live of our own too lol. Honestly I think the breastfeeding and baby not even close to sleeping through the night are my biggest barriers right now. Yeah i could not relax at my mumβs house either. Sheβs a nurse and lort does she do my head in when she goes into nurse mode.

I feel like this is the story of our house and it makes me so mad that we're not taking good enough care to prevent it. We have cubbies with baskets under our bed and when I pulled them out Sunday the basket was molding!!! Like the whole thing very fuzzy.π‘

I'm so mad about it because it happened so fast...it wasn't there a few weeks ago. We had windows open in the basement because there were ossues with the venting for our dryer and it has been so humid it was just the perfect environment for it. I went out and bought a dehumidifier today so hopefully it help.

cp3 aww I bet she was so cute napping in the pool! Unfortunately DS was not impressed with the cool water last week when we went to SIL's pool. Hugs woodenshoes I hope you sleep well and feel better about it all tomorrow. @mrsmonnogrammed I love her! I can NOT believe that's the same girl that you PIPed just a few months ago in a matching swimsuit when we were still pregnant!!! nevertoomanyshoes I hope you can find help for when you have surgery. You most definitely deserve that mum sick day(s)!!! leatherpants sorry you too!

Driving home from the Adirondacks and catching up here. We hiked over 12 miles yesterday and over 9 today. We are gonna stop at Panera Bread soon and o spent too long looking at the menu on the website and now I want chicken Alfredo with a side of baja mac & Cheese and a side of grilled cheese. πππ
Poor DS did good in the pack but lost his shit half mile from our vehicle yesterday and we carried him in our arms. Then today he was bored and fussy our last mile down but then slept the last bit.
Anyway I feel great about hitting 3 peaks, including two toward my goal of becoming an ADK 46er! Three down, forty three to go! π

That sounds like a decent plan you have so far nevertoomanyshoes, except all the moving hassle. Good lord. You need a solid roof over your head first! Iβm trying the pumping/freezing thing but totally prepared to hit up some formula if needed. Iβm most worried about recovery. The dr said I canβt lift more than 10 lbs for 4 weeks. 4 weeks. My baby is 16 lbs. I was like, I can do a week. After that this body better heal because Iβll be lifting. Babyβs gotta eat man and who is going to follow me around for 4 weeks and lift my baby?
