After a crazy weekend, I'm back at work. I really do have a difficult time checking in on here during the weekend. N's party was a success and an added plus is that my house is pretty clean. We'll see how long that lasts. lol. I have FINALLY gotten my H on board with having someone come in once a month to help deep clean. I think it has dawned on him that with two kids and basically two weekend days it's impossible to stay on top of stuff. Plus, we always have so many other things that need to get done on the weekends. I got pretty pissed at my H though last night. He always acts like E is purposefully sleeping badly. He gets so frustrated with him and I'm like, he can't help it. He had some bad gas last night and that always messes E up. In fact, he slept on me for a lot of the night. Then this morning my H was like, I was just so tired last night. And I was like really? REALLY? I know, it's so HARD not planning a birthday party, not grocery shopping for it, not cooking Saturday and Sunday for it, not cleaning the house in preparation, not setting up and then taking everything down for it, not directing everyone at the party, and not getting your two kids plus yourself ready for the week after everyone left.

sarahandben108 I don't understand why men can't comprehend how much we do to keep the family afloat, on little sleep, and don't complain about it. I had a similar conversation with my H this weekend too.

Good morning. We were supposed to get 10-14" of snow. We maybe got 6. All the schools (including colleges) closed last night but thankfully daycare stayed open. The roads weren't great but not terrible either so I ended up getting to work early, so now I can leave early! I'm trying really hard to eat healthier and pack breakfast and lunches and I saw this on Facebook and it fit perfectly:

I had a similar conversation with my H this weekend too. Sometimes I complain. But seriously, I'm like I did all the work for this party. What the hell are you tired from? And I feel like I should add the night before my H went to bed at 8:00.

I taught AJ to say "please" when he wants something and now he walks around pointing at everything saying "eeese" and I'm telling you, it's the cutest fucking thing

Hope the party went well, sarahandben108 - sorry your H is being a douche, though We had a decent weekend - N still has a bit of a cough but it's going away a little more daily, so hopefully will be totally gone soon. I'm still getting over it too, and it sounds like H is coming down with it now. N is now fully on milk - he will drink some out of a sippy cup, and will drink all of it cold if it's in a bottle, so we are making progress! No problem drinking water from a sippy, so just need to get there with the milk and then start weaning him off the early AM and bedtime bottles. We also are going to start giving him more of what DC gives him for lunch in hopes he will recognize it and stop refusing stuff. But cheese is still a problem - sometimes he will eat it, but mostly not, and at least half of their lunches involve cheese in some way. We tried mac and cheese yesterday and he ate three shells, and highly protested that. We'll try some regular non-sauced pasta next and see if we can't get somewhere. We also bought him new shoes yesterday. Kiddo had a blast in the shoe store Saturday night I was doing laundry and the lid didn't catch and stay up (our line dry stuff hangs above the machine, I guess there was too much) and it came back down and hit me on the bridge of the nose. I'm fairly certain it's not broken, but it's Monday and it's still sore and I've still got a headache. Being extra careful around N now, since he likes to swing that noggin of his around like a weapon

jules1614, so true 😂 Jojo is doing better. Slept decently overnight, probably would have been better if we didn't keep waking her up for medicine. She is pretty tired and was only up for an hour and a bit before having a short nap, but in that time she ate a whole waffle with cream cheese 👍

N had his tubes and tear duct surgeries this morning. Everything went well and we were home an hour after they took him back. He’s sleeping on me now. I really want to try to get him in a crib but I’m afraid he’ll wake up. I guess we’ll just lay here for now. It is incredibly cold and windy here. I need to go to the grocery store at some point today before picking up DS1 from school.

Glad everything went well, roloma! Extra snuggles seem like they are in order quinn - it's not so much the not liking pasta (also part Italian though, so I am also O.o to that), as the cheese. Like today he refused cheese pizza. WHO IS THIS KID.

Dropping ds1 off with my mom for an overnight this afternoon. So excited!!! Ds2 has his 15 month well visit tomorrow morning. Do they get any shots? I guess I could Google. 🤷
He's been sleeping like garbage again. But there are so many teeth popping through in his mouth. I dose him with Motrin before bed. But it's still not enough. Poor kid. I want sleeeeeep.

Oh gosh... it is Monday today, isn’t it? lol. I’m off because I’m working Saturday, so we were able to stay until this morning at my sister’s. We have coffee and the car has gas. Hoping we hit the sweet spot between rush hours going through LA. 🤞
We had such a good time! And my little nephew was awake the whole time I held him this morning. 😍

sarahandben108 having a cleaning service has much such a positive difference in our lives. That and the gardening service. Those are tasks H and I both dislike and it is so nice just paying someone else to do it.

I just checked ds1's paperwork and it looks like two boosters (HIB and prevnar). Ds2 got the chicken pox vaccine at one year.

Glad the surgeries went well roloma. thatgolfb, I know that we need to declutter before someone can clean but there are things that just don't get clean and I can't stand it. Like my cabinets. Why we have off white painted cabinets I have no idea. Every bit of anything makes them look so dirty. I want someone to wash my wood floors. I need someone to take care of dusting my pictures. The list is endless. My H was so resistant because he thought it was such a waste of money but he's starting to recognize that the money is well worth it. We just can't keep up.

Good afternoon! It’s super snowy here so schools are closed and MH stayed home from work with the boys. I’m at work which is fine by me. C was getting into everything this morning, he’s such a trouble maker.

C was getting into everything this morning, he’s such a trouble maker. I'm at work too and DH is home with DD, I came in at noon and DH is asking me to leave at three. Blah, it's fine and I'll do it, but won't get much done today. Particularly because I'm on HIH, haha.

Ds1 was so happy to be going to my mom's. He barely said goodbye to me lol. Bye Felicia! See ya tomorrow. 🙋 He better behave for her. Ds2 loved being an only child this afternoon and during dinner. He got all the attention. I just realized I forgot to give him Motrin before I put him down so hopefully he's ok. I'll give him some when he wakes up in a couple hours.

Howdy! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Yesterday was yucky blowy snowy in the morning. Made my drive to work interesting. It’s my first winter driving so that’s fun. Trucking along during my orientation to L&D. It’s completely overwhelming. There’s so much to learn. It’s supposed to snow a tonne in the next 36 hours. I’m on nights tomorrow and Wednesday so we shall see what the school situation is.

My mom went to visit them, so that was nice for him to have some company at least.
