Hi I'm here with coffee in hand.
AV keeps whining all night. I'm so confused, she very obviously is annoyed too - teething? return of reflux? gas pains? No clue.
I'm in the office and they're replacing our carpets over the next couple weeks so today I have to move all my crap from one cube to another temporary cube. Can I just bring it out to my car and call it the end of my employment here? I'm tempted... but money.

I went to bed at 9 last night with the sun still shining through my blinds. I was exhausted. I only woke up once around midnight when I heard C making noise but H took care of it and I passed right back out.
Yesterday was C's baptism and everything went great. He did really well during mass and the baptism after. He was exhausted though and slept through most of the luncheon. Then we went home and all cuddled on our bed and he watched the grand prix with H. I always though he was just making random noises but I swear he's making car sounds. It's so funny. I need to get him a toy car.

I'm still exhausted from yesterday and wanted nothing more than to just stay home and hang out with the kids all day. But here I am pumping at work and have a ton of meetings today. I'm going to leave work an hour early so we can all hang out at the pool tonight. I think E will love it. I'm hoping DC texts me a picture of E and his birthday treat sent today!

I am a "only need enough to get by" kind of person BUT we do kind of need my job to meet that right now... if we didn't I would've been out of here by now. Just so happens the job helps us meet our needs and gives some extra. I don't know, I don't know what I'm going to do when they tell me I need to start being in the office 5x a week - not mentally ready to deal with that decision.

We had so much friggin fun last night. We started off by going to this little brewery but it was packed. We could barely move and there wasn't really any place to sit. We did a quick flight and then high tailed it outta there to go grab some dinner. Well, everyone had the same idea. The restaurant had an hour wait so we stalked this couple who was leaving and stole their seats at the bar. We got a pitcher and ordered some food. They were playing good music and there were some fun people at the bar so we were all talking and having a good time. Then we headed to the concert. It turned out to be a beautiful night. The sun was out and the rain held off.
On the way back to the car, I overestimated my puddle jumping abilities and landed in this huge pile of mud. And I was wearing my WHITE chucks. I've been spending all morning scrubbing them with a toothbrush to get the mud off 😕.

Good morning all! Have been thinking of you all and hoping you and your babes are well. I've been working a lot of shifts in the ER. Plus lost our nanny in mid May (can't remember if I shared that or not) due to a family emergency. It has been crazy town at our house just trying to keep my head above water. DH finishes his school year tomorrow at noon so the end is in sight!!! Can't wait to have more time for everything including posting here Off to catch up on old threads....

Morning all.
The big kid is still asleep. This never happens. I'll be checking him for a fever when he wakes up because that is the only possible explanation.
Not to much going on today, it's a bit dreary out so i'll be crossing off some of my to-do list.

I'm at work trying to get as much done as possible since I'll be out the rest of the week. MH and I got in a fight this morning because of our clash in parenting M. I know it's because we're both so tired from last night. H was up a gazillion times. I'm switching formula again today so hopefully it will do the trick.

I'm at work. I completely forgot that we were doing a potluck for a manager's birthday today. And it's a breakfast potluck, too. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to try and run to the store and grab something or just sit this one out. I hate when we do these things on Mondays, I always forget about them over the weekend.
We were able to get the patio up on Saturday, and by we I mean MH and parents because I was off getting a foot scrub, full body massage and a facial. But we saved a bunch of money by doing the work ourselves. We had two companies give us quotes for the patio, one had the demo costs at $600 and the other said $1200. If you factor in the cost of the new shovel MH had to buy because he broke ours, we did the demo for about $215.

jubilantsquirrel What kind of patio did you guys demo? We did our own demo for a brick paver patio and it was TORTURE!! I never realized how big it was until we had to pull it up one by one. And one of our friends wanted the bricks so we also had to load them into his trailer. We definitely saved a ton of money but it was rough.

I feel bad saying it, but TGIM. It's been a weekend. Good news is though that my mom did great at home, MH took his test he's been studying for. My body aches though from being so tired and mentally exhausted from keeping track of my mom and both kids.
Also Wonder Weeks are freaky, n is a different baby all of a sudden, and i open the app and it says "you will start to know a whole different human being". Gah, I really liked the perfect baby I had a week ago..hope this new baby is great too 😬. We survived first night sans Merlin, but we ended up back in the dockatot.

I don't need "extra" but I do need to make sure our bills are paid. Unfortunately right now we are getting a little behind due to the crab being bad this season (which makes me feel guilty as I have hardly worked in the last year).

And one of our friends wanted the bricks so we also had to load them into his trailer. We definitely saved a ton of money but it was rough. It was just poured concrete. There were two different sections of it, the patio that was probably done when the house was built and then there was a second larger slab that had a hot tub sitting on it. The hot tub slab was thicker than the other section, but the jackhammer made it (look) pretty easy to get up. They still had to load it all into my dad's truck and take it to the cement recycling place. Everyone looked pretty beat at the end of the day, so I know it was hard work.

It's trial week! I have to file a bunch of stuff at the Court today but no one has gotten back to me on it yet. I have to go to a Pre-Trial Conference/Motion hearing in another case tomorrow that I thought someone else was covering and I don't even know what that case is about because I have not thought of anything else but the case that's on trial for weeks. I need to figure out what to wear during this damn trial. It's going to be at least a week where I can't repeat anything because jurors be judgy AF. I practiced my opening in the car on the way to work and it sucked a little bit so I should probably fix that. MOAR COFFEE.

tgrimes Well he's just wrong. Mom is always right, doesn't he know? dashook Girl!!!!!! Think of all the drinking you'll get to do once this is done. #silverlinings tjanca22 Happy Bday E!!! And congrats to mama for surviving 2u2! tallb So glad you mentioned the different baby thing. I was wondering why A and A are acting so weird. So I just looked up the wonder weeks... so much sad right now. I can't stop tearing up right now thinking about the period the babies are going through right now. It's SO obvious they are realizing that I come and go and they cry and AB (whether intentional or not) starts crying momomomomomom and AV hangs on to me for dear life. Now that I read about the gray period in WW I am so sadsy and want to rush home and go hold them. To those who've BTDT (or others who want to chime in), do I just keep on doing what I've always done or do I compensate and give even more and be conscientious of leaving the room, naps, etc and try to avoid upsetting them with my sudden absence right now?

MH is picking up H in a bit to take him to the pedi. Pretty sure his penis has reattached again. MH disagrees so that's why I'm making him go to the appt. I hope I'm right, for MH's sake but I hope I'm wrong, for H's sake.
