No skiing this morning, so we're just relaxing around the house. DH DVR'd the NHL All Stars skills competition so Colin is enthralled. Good thing he'll be bouncing later at the birthday party, LOL.

Morning.
I love weekend mornings; I’m still in bed, MH got up to feed the non stopping howling cat that is Pete and the kids are moving around but not up yet.
Yesterday was so busy but today we’ve got the normal schedule of cleaning, vacuuming, meal prep for the week and a play place this afternoon.

Chase just grabbed me by the nose and then pulled my hair. I told him no and put him down on the floor. He put himself into time-out. Thanks, I guess?

Cadence joined me in bed at 2:30, so I slept like crap. We're lying in bed while she watches Nella, the Princess Knight.
Grocery trip and finishing the front garden cleanup are on the agenda. My back isn't happy about yesterday, but the yard needs to be cleaned up. I may start on the backyard as well.

wineallthetime Clearly your H is sleeping in today, like you expected! Nothing much going on here today. H wants to get his hair cut so when he gets back, I plan on going to the gym. Then dinner at my mom's for my brother and nephews birthdays. Haha! In his defense, he did start to get up but since I already was awake I "took one for the team" and got up. Really though, I just took the easy shift while they're cute and cuddly on the couch and now I'm back in bed while the cranky hits!

Morning. Dh and me got in a fight last night that ended in me majorly overreacting and basically screaming at him. I mean, he was being super annoying, he kept bitching about how tired he was and it ended with my cleaning the kitchen and emptying the dishwasher while holding a newborn while he snores on the couch. I just ended up feeling really overwhelmed and resentful, and I think some major pp hormones came into play with how I reacted. It’s just, I’m exhausted to, and I guess it kind of hurt my feelings that dh wasn’t too tired to hang out with a friend of his yesterday but was to hang out with me, plus stuff with my mom, plus trying to keep the house not a disaster.
Ugh, dh was really helpful overnight and he apologized this morning, but I feel embarrassed about melting down like that.
Long DD. tL;DR I had an emotional breakdown last night and now I’m embarrassed.

I made a bunch of freezer food stuff for H yesterday before the kids got home. One of these days I’ll learn to sit on my ass and enjoy it like MH does.

xolastunicornxo - It WAS pretty dumb of your DH to pull the tired card out while you're still recovering from labor. But regardless, we ALL overreact in those early days, it's impossible not to. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Hi from work!!! I'm covering my normal jobs Sunday to score bonus points with the boss.
Work vent: I found out S complained on Thursday because J made a comment that she should just take Sunday's from now on (she covered last Sunday). She said my H and I only see each other on the weekends it's not fair for you to ask me to cover. I have the right to family time. Ummm...ok. Everyone on the team know that C and I only get Sundays off together. But if I have to do a weekend day I have to take Sundays or there is no one to watch LO on a regular basis. Every time she uses the family excuse it makes me want to pull the seniority card and not cover these days.
Sorry for the vent. She left me a note to do some work for her so it's a little anniying

flamingo ds was also a mellow toddler, never once had a tantrum to speak of. J doesn’t talk much, yet she can make perfectly clear what she wants and what she doesn’t want. Josie had two months of horrendous meltdowns from 22 to 24 months, and then a month of even more horrendous meltdowns last April to May. Charlie has about 3 tantrums a day, and his endurance for them is incredible. The screaming never stops. I feel like Clarice.

Re: whining/tantrums.
I was just thinking yesterday about how a few people here had trouble with their boys who were second children and thinking they were so clingy, whiny and much different than their girl/ first children. I don’t think it’s a boy vs. girl thing, but definitely a second child thing. M was as mellow as they come, but M2 whines a lot. He doesn’t like to be left alone or playing alone for a long time. If we’re holding him and on the move, he’s happy as a clam. He’s so different from M and I know the whining/cling will really get to me one day. He’s just too cute to be mad at for now.

At bedtime last night, M felt warm and was running a little fever. I didn’t take it, just gave him Tylenol. He’s still asleep and MH is with him so I haven’t checked him yet. Please, please, please don’t let this be the start of the flu for him. I chanted this as I went to sleep last night.
I also got the call late from MH’s cousin, who never calls, and she said my MIL instructed her to call me to tell me the news. MH’s grandmother died last night. MIL was with her at the hospital when it happened and wasn’t taking it well. MH seemed upset, but took it ok. This year is just not off to a good start for us.

Today is the last day of my classes. I should maintain my A in my nursing course once all the grades are updated in the grade book. I have an A in my history class right now but I have to take my final exam and have no idea what to expect. He didn't tell us anything and he grades hard. So I'm expecting the worst and just hoping for at least a B in the class. The final is worth 25% of the grade. Yikes.

tallb I’m excited to hear what happens with the house! Does your former colleague know you’re interested? Maybe she’d be more likely to pick y’all in a multiple offer situation? Thanks! My realtor is def going to play that angle and put it in the cover letter..since it's out only shot really. They set an offer deadline for Tuesday because of so much interest. I am kind if overwhelmed. This would prob mean another kid is out of the question, and we'd be house poor for a bit until j is in k next year. Still TBD if putting an offer in and we kind of need to decide now so we know if we are doing a pre inspection tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
