Hiiiii. It’s rainy and gray. Pretty much all day. Which is fine because I have a lot of inside stuff to do before B’s Party this weekend. It’s going to be stupid hot this weekend (about 95-100 degrees). Not looking forward to that.

Yay that's great danib! starbuck H's golf got rained out so he came home early. At least he put C to bed for me and he did go to bed early. It was still nice to sit on the couch and do nothing for a couple hours. What's up with your work? waitwhat it's going to be hot as balls here too this weekend. They're saying it'll feel like 108 on Friday. I think this is all from the tropical storm. We got lots of much needed rain yesterday.

I'm at work today but I have to leave early to go get my second steroids shot. It's a good thing my boss doesn't care about this stuff. I have my complaints about him but this is one thing he's very good about.
I did not sleep well last night. My dog kept panting really loud then started digging on our carpet. H took her out to pee. Suddenly our fire detector went off and all I heard was carbon monoxide detected so I ran out of bed and almost grabbed C to leave to the house but then H said the detector in the basement was beeping for a low battery which is what was freaking the dog out. He tried replacing it without setting the rest off but it didn't work. Took me a long time to fall back asleep after that. C didn't seem to notice though.

goldenlove, we have a lot of communications contracts for a particular government agency that usually releases about 20-30 RFPs from March-August. This year, because they changed personnel and he has proven to be TERRIBLE, they didn't start releasing until Mid-May, then stopped for a few weeks, and are now pummeling us with almost daily requests. If they don't review the proposals and get contracts signed by Sept they lose the funding so they are scrambling to get all these requests out, and the deadlines for us to turn them around keep getting shorter. So now we have 5 due in the next few weeks, and expect more to come out every day.

Awesome danib! H is in Chicago this week for training so my mom has been picking up O. They were playing outside yesterday and he was peeing in the grass. (Which we allow.) but then she said he saw the dog poop so he squatted and took a shit! Idk how that happens and how much attention my mom was paying... so we might have to nix the yard peeing.

We have this same problem with H seeing our dog poop in the yard. I just tell him poop is only for the potty. No issues....so far.

Man work is dumb. Nothing major but an issue that I was alerted to on January 2nd and had fixed by January 4th keeps creeping back up. It came up in February and in April. It wasn't even my responsibility but since it impacted my part, I keep getting blamed and having to explain it. Now 7 months later, it was presented to the Director of our department so I have to explain it yet again. This is the stupid repetitiveness that drives me insane about this job.

So I kind of got a promotion at work... I say kind of bc I’m going out on maternity leave so I’m assuming I’ll start when I come back. Also it’s a big increase in responsibility but I haven’t heard anything about pay. Which is par for the course for my company. I was planning on wfh today and my boss just sched a 1pm meet and greet for everyone promoted to the new position. WTF?! Now I have to go into the office!

Both kids were up before 7 again. If I could just convince M to sleep with her cousins, she’d actually sleep in...& I wouldn’t be getting kicked all night long.
We’ve already been to the park this morning and we’ll probably get the slip n slide out later. Apparently H dislikes splash parks.

Congrats cookswithwineI had a rough night with H. And I'm blaming DH because he messed with the routine/limits the night before (went back in and tucked him in after I said 'no more' and he threw his blankets all over the room). So last night I got to listen to 30+ minutes of "MAKE UP MY BED!!!" Followed by another 20+ of "get dad" (offshore). I didn't get to sleep until midnight.

Sorry about the rough night danib. And sorry M keeps insisting on sleeping with you and kicking you and getting up early tgrimes. Kids. 🙄 Congratulations cookswithwine, but that sucks you had to go into the office last minute. Crossing fingers you get a nice raise along with the additional responsibilities.

Well I made the mistake of asking O’s teacher how he did today... he apparently: - didn’t use his walking feet and ran around the classroom - was aggressive to other students and bit one - told the teachers “No!” repeatedly
Lovely!

My niece is watching the kids so my sister and I can go out to eat. Of course M is a total terror because she’s overtired, then runs into a wall and gets a bloody nose, and cries before I leave because her eczema is burning. Good luck with that! Lol.

Really the only thing to even tell you is he bit someone. Everything else is pretty much expected.

danib he was also bit today... so I’m not that concerned he bit someone else. It doesn’t happen too often.

Hi I’m here! I’ve been busy today cleaning and running last minute errands for B’s party tomorrow. My dad is here so I’ve been able to do them kid free which has been nice. It’s about 100 degrees here so I’m sitting in the A/C drinking a hard seltzer.

I'm here. Worked from home today because I had a NST appointment. We were also supposed to meet with the NICU doctors so H took the day off to come. Then they had to reschedule us until next week. The appointment was quick so we ended up running a few errands before coming home
Tonight I'm going to see the Lion King with my siblings. I'm way too excited!

I accidentally put H to bed without a diaper. We don't put it on until immediately before getting into bed, but he fell asleep early and I just transferred him over without thinking. DH said don't risk waking him up, and I agree because the last 2 nights sucked. So fingers crossed I don't regret that decision.

I'm here! Just tired, DH is finally home and I have time to breathe. My mom is up too and I feel bad staring at my phone while she's here! Kind of feel like I have to fit a lifetime of time with her in a week.
L is in a "crash" mode, where he wants to run around really fast and crash into us. DH isn't loving it because he's crashing right into his crotch. He also has a huge bruise on his upper thigh from work. We're in a heat advisory, I'm kind of side-eyeing but only because we're seeing temps in the 90's. The temps in Sugar Land, TX are the same and they are only getting a high pollen warning!?! Tomorrow, we've got swim class and then DH is driving mom home.
