AFM, at work. Boring.
Last night, B went crazy about not wanting to take a bath. She told me and mh that she wanted different parents. I know this will prolly the first of many, many hurled insults during a fit of anger. Just kind of stunned that she came out w that at such a young age. I’m honestly not that ruffled by it so no hair pats. Im just guessing this is a small preview of the teenage years.

I heard about those explosions on the radio klong11 . How terrible. And it seems there is no idea as to who is doing it or why. Is that right? Pretty much. They've offered a reward for any information for any of them. The neighborhood where this latest one is on lockdown until 10am so the police can make sure the area is completely clear.

Morning! I was laid up with some sort of pinched nerve in back yesterday, and I did not get anything done. I even had to cancel dinner with friends because my house was a mess, and there was no way I was walking around a grocery store. Thanks to grandma's heating pad, I seem to be back to my normal aches and pains today.
My mom is flying home for a week, so I need to use this week to clean and get ready for her to come stay for a night or two, and for our trip the following week. I have mixed feelings about the visit because she said she might as well come now so that she can do her taxes. I am like can you think of any other significant events coming up in your life that you may want to save the visit for? I'm sure your CPA can handle your taxes for you 😒

Ugh, Peach. That's awful. Poor little baby. I'm glad at the very least she told her doctor so they could be prepared. Do you think she'd be willing to go to rehab now? Crazy she was able to hide it so well.

I’m a little overwhelmed today. Between being sick (and losing work hours), the new job, my normal job, a colleague on leave, sick peoples I’m expected to cover and a presentation I need to prep for tomorrow. The house is a mess, it is too freaking cold to go outside, I have dinner with a very old friend tonight, that I’m not looking forward too (I’m sorry but she complains about not having enough ‘me time’ while having no kids and not working full time). I’m so tired I’m too short and unimaginative with the the kids. So basically i feel like I’m failing in all fronts.
Tl;dr; overwhelmed, feel like I’m failing.

peachsmama that is heartbreaking. I hope the baby has a complete recovery. yummeecookee ah yes, insight into teen years. Yesterday we ran into Smilz at Target, she had her N13 with her. We happened to see them right by the girls clothing, both 4 year olds ran around looking at clothes, bringing stuff up to us that they liked. I would tell E no, to get something with sleeves, so I would point out a dress or shirt I liked. I kept getting no mommy and her picking something the complete opposite. It made me realize how much of a fight things will be when she is a teen over clothes.

Morning all! Not sure if I even posted this weekend. It was a busy one! The kids stayed at my parents Friday night and we had a bday party to go to. Saturday, we had the electrician at our house all day and he got so much done in the basement! Then N had pictures for dance and we had a sitter so we could go to dinner with friends. Yesterday was church, errands and clearing out the basement since things are going to be moving along quickly.
I woke up with a little sore throat. I hope it's nothing, but I think H had one this weekend too.
And my coworker who has NEGATIVE 40 hours PTO (and no money) just told me she bought Pink tickets and booked a flight to Denver to go to her concert in May which will require 3 days off of work. Whaaat? I seriously don't understand some people. And Pink was just in Minneapolis last week...not sure why she didn't go then.

I feel so sorry for that poor baby @peach. I'm glad she's getting the care she needs, but it's just a terrible way to come into the world. Hope Mom gets help. lfig I meant to respond to you but yes, I've been having Tapa issues, too! Haven't tried getting on this morning, I'm on my laptop now. yummeecookee I've gotten one "I want a new mommy" from B at some point, I can't even remember now what it was about. I was like, "Oh really?" with very dramatic raised eyebrows and he immediately backed down, lol. I figure if my kid likes me all the time I'm probably not doing my job sands42 Wow, that's a big change, but sounds like there are definitely some positives to FL and at the end of the day, you have to do what is best for your family. Do you think your parents will be good about visiting? We were in a similar situation when we left FL for VA (leaving "home"/family behind) but we tried to focus on all the fun stuff there was to do up here, etc. to get B excited. I know Giovanna is older so she probably has more of an attachment to where y'all are now, but hopefully with FaceTime, etc. she can stay in touch with friends there.

Hi hi - at work and we had a pretty good morning..am I the only one that kind of likes when MH is away? I feel awful but it was kind of nice doing whatever I want and kids we're pretty fun. I'm okay with him dealing with N MOTN again...she's been just sleeping with me after her wake up, which needs to stop.

tallb No you are not the only one...obviously I don't want my H gone year-round but I enjoy the occasional business trip, etc. I don't feel obligated to cook big meals, I can read, zone out on dumb TV or my laptop at night and not feel guilty, etc.

Morning!
We dropped B at preschool and then C and I headed to Target for some Easter basket shopping. I need to order one thing but otherwise I'm done.
DH and I got in a fight last night over a trip we're hoping to plan. I was being kind of a butthead--ok, ok, not kind of--but I get so frustrated sometimes. We have tabled a Europe trip til next year b/c of his pursuing his pilot's license, etc... just too much expense for one year. So we are trying to figure out something here in the states we can do that will be less expensive and less time away. He wants to include his parents in the babysitting but they are just not real flexible. I have no interest in taking the kids to them and then traveling from there...small town, hard to get flights, plus having to add time on the front and back-end to drive there...no thanks. Meanwhile my parents can come here easily, we can keep the kids in school, etc. Seems like a no-brainer. So hopefully we can get all this worked out and actually go somewhere.
I have a friend's birthday dinner tonight and need to grab her a card and a little something...probably a bottle of wine or similar. Is this an acceptable birthday gift? My girlfriends and I didn't really do anything back home but I'm afraid of showing up empty-handed.

I act like I'm disappointed he's leaving, but I really don't mind at all. Also, wine is my go to for a quick birthday gift. I'd love wine has a gift.

I'm okay with him dealing with N MOTN again...she's been just sleeping with me after her wake up, which needs to stop. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned several times that I don't mind H being gone. As flamingo said, I don't cook dinner, I get to watch whatever I want to watch, he doesn't help with the nighttime or morning routine anyway...so as shitty as it sounds, it's just easier on my when he is gone. I also act like it's a big deal and I'm SO happy when he returns.

Pretty sure he missed us more than we missed him. Of course j asked to play baseball at the park which he never does and he missed it.. Also I'd do a bottle of wine, I would feel weird too not sure if a gift is expected. Fwiw I wouldn't expect one from new friends (or old)!

Realtor just sent a legit real lead on a house zoned for the school we want...but that means we would be the "diversity" bussed into this high school. Lol, I guess we would be the socio-economic diversity in that we are not a big law couple or doctors. Beggars can't be choosers though, so fingers crossed over here.
