I keep saying that my schedule should slow down soon, but it just feels nonstop. DH's first day of work at the new job is today, I'm really hoping it goes well, especially for him mentally. He struggles with anxiety but has been dragging his feet about getting in to see the psychiatrist for a refill on his anti-anxiety meds. He takes it as-needed, not daily, and is really responsible about self-monitoring his mental health otherwise, he's just terrible about making time to schedule the appointment.
Also, I need to update and get back to tracking our budget. With the pay cut he's taking, I don't think we can get away with being super loose about our spending. Send some motivation over here, too, please.

My kids are driving me nuts today. I mean I love them, of course, but they're being so difficult and uncooperative today. I'm counting down until bedtime. In the meantime I'm eating a big piece of pumpkin swirl cheesecake DH brought home last night. It's my saving grace today. 😆
On a side note, I feel like all I ever post about is food and how tired I am. Haha.

polson at least your baby has a room. We haven’t even bought dd3 a bed. She’s still in the crib. Baby can go in the pack and play in our room right? Bc it’s gonna. Lol. I’m honestly sitting here thinking about baking some things for vacation next week, starting the breakfast casserole I need for MOPs tomorrow and loathing the fact I have to work for a bit tonight. I hate when I take an evening shift. What was I thinking? I can’t get a damn thing done with this little motivation. Our baby won't have a room either and DD2 is still in a crib in our room. I'm right there with ya!!

I'm right there with ya!! +1 to this baby not having a room. It will be in a pack n play in our room at first. It will eventually share a room with DS, but I am not sure if we will be in the room DS currently is in or not.

You guys, I am such a scavenger. I’m in a local moms buy/sell/trade group on Facebook and I am claiming all the things. We now have ride on toys/bikes for this kid up to age 7... among other random things. If only we had a place to store all this stuff.

The 50% off days at my local moms sale (it’s HUGE) are my only personal holidays. I can’t wait until this LO is here and i can start looking for a new wrap and trading my old ones.

Bleh. I didn't sign up for high school-style drama when I offered to co-lead MOPS this year. There's a gal in the group (let's call her N) that can be a bit high maintenance and whiny, and she was coming to us upset about people at her table being rude and "disrespectful" to her. Checked in with a few people at N's table to get more context, gave the table leader a little insight on this N's personality, and smoothed N's ruffled feathers. Moved along. Similar issue came up once or twice more, lather rinse repeat.
She wasn't at yesterday's meeting, and someone from the group commented on a FB post saying "we missed you yesterday!" N responded with something super passive aggressive along the lines of "Oh, you know my reasons why, but I had to quit. Very upset. I just don't want to be a part of MOPS right now, maybe another time," etc. etc.
I just want to shrug and release, but my co-leader is really hurt because she feels like we've gone above and beyond to help and support N, and other people from our group have seen and commented on N's post with the concern and "you're always welcome to come back!" kind of attention I'm guessing she wanted.
Guys. We're adults. This is throwing me back to the really passive aggressive AIM away messages, complete with angsty song lyrics.

The US machine at my OB was damaged when a pipe burst. So now I’m crying at my desk. WTAF UNIVERSE. I’ve been clinging to the idea that DH and I were spending Monday getting cute baby pictures and going to see an early movie.

The rep who called me said Ray totally dead and they have to order a new one. They can’t reschedule me for anywhere close and DNW to drive in my area around a holiday LOL. I called the place that did DD’s AS and they take my new insurance so we’ll just go there! I’m on hold but hopeful - their receptionist said they should be able to get me in early next week! I just want to grab an appointment before all the other women start calling around. I’m hoping that the holiday next week means most people are out of town and they have openings. I’m definitely getting a cookie later!

Yikes, Leaf 🌱! I hope you can find another place - even the hospital radiologist! AFM: If I had tuna YESTERDAY, can I have it again? I'm watching Friends, and Rachel had a tuna sandwich, and now I WANT a tuna sandwich. Prego probs.

I bribed DD this morning when I dropped her off at preschool. She's been having a problem with hitting her friends when she gets mad at them. I told her today that if she is nice to her friends and doesn't hit anyone, that we can bake some brownies. I really, really hope that she gets a good report today because I really want to make brownies.

I am so tired and don't really want to be at work today. And of course I have a meeting with my boss to tell him I'm not coming back. I'm just hoping I don't burst into tears.

Have y'all tried Oprah's new O That's Good brand soups? I've had two or three of them so far and they're all so good. I picked up another broccoli for lunch today and I can't wait to heat it up in a few minutes.

Leaf 🌱 I hope they were able to get you on the calendar at the other place. I'm sorry, that's so stressful and I can't imagine how many other moms are going to be anxious, too. cp3 Good luck with that conversation today, it's a tough one. I hope your boss makes it an easy conversation, too.

I bet I'm really fostering a sense of trust in my toddler. I took him with me to my OB checkup today for the first time, since it's just DH's second day at the new job. DS did really well (for him) with being patient and waiting, and I laid on the verbal positive reinforcement. I then rewarded him by taking him down the hall to the pediatric suite for his flu shot.
In cuter news, when the OB was listening to baby's heartbeat, DS was so intrigued. I said "That's your baby brother," and he said, "Hi, baby brother." 😭
