We were under tornado watch/warning all morning so we had to venture out to the plant for safety. Now the winds are so loud I can hear them in my office and I don’t have a window.
They sent us pictures from dc of the kids having lunch in the kitchen staying safe. Of course B was flipping his cup so he could draw with his milk.

Lol C has started doing the exact same thing with her milk.

We were to the drawing in the milk as painting. 😂

Wicked snowstorm last night/this morning. We got dumped on. Huge pile-up on the highway. My BIL was stuck behind it, thankfully not in it. There declared a code orange at the hospital- all ambulances in the area were sent to that hospital to bring all the injured in. No word if ther was any fatalities but some vehicles were Unrecognizeable. 5 semis and then at least 10 cars in the immediate area.
I’m thinking there will be no school tomorrow too. They haven’t even started clearing the roads.

That's scary rooskie. Glad you are all safe. It's supposed to be rain showers today here so everyone can keep their snow. I really hope we are done with the snow.

TGIF I need some wine. Just spent an hour on the phone with Verizon trying to cancel my cable. They wanted to charge me an early termination fee but I explained that I didn't sign up for a new contract and had specifically called to talk to someone about it last March. Finally get it straightened out and they are charging 79.99 for just internet yet if I was a new customer it would only be $39.99. Now to decide if I stay with them or go to Comcast for a cheaper rate.

We switch back and forth between Comcast and Verizon every two years to get new customer rates.

Happy Friday! I took C in for an ear check today and he’s good to go. Ds1 has been a monster lately. He’s been throwing huge tantrums whenever we limit or say no to iPad time and it’s gotten ridiculous so we just took it completely away. He still threw a giant tantrum tonight so I asked my mom is she wanted a crabby 4 year old and she sent my dad over to pick him up, gladly. God bless my parents. D needs a major attitude adjustment. Parenting is hard, blah.
In sweeter news, I can currently hear DH reading books to C before bed and it’s the cutest.

Que a few hours later and they shut off our internet too and proceed to play dumb for HOURS over the phone before turning it back on. We only have spectrum out here. Literally not a single other option. It's such a load of shit.

N is turning into quite the charmer. He’s been so funny lately. It’s just me and him all evening. We’ve been playing. I was making supper and holding him and he was almost falling asleep. Now he got his second wind and is just running around laughing and throwing himself to the ground and laughing. I told him it was bedtime and Then he came up to me and babbles away for 2 minutes. Then leaned over and gave me a huge hug. Then grinned and ran away.

If we want to watch sports we stream it or go to the parents. Lol Internet we had 2 main options that are crap. The third option has a HUGE start up cost (like $1000-5000 avg) to put their tower on your house. But their internet is perfect, fast and unlimited data (which is not the case for the other providers in the country). We finally bit the bullet and did it. It sucked, but I’m glad we did. And their customer service is top notch, and is a local company not a corporation.

We have a fire stick in every tv so we have Netflix and PlayStation Vue, which you don't need a PlayStation for I don't think. I mean, we have one but it just runs through an app. It gets local news channels and tons of sports channels, it it might be worth looking into. Sling also offers sports but we ended up choosing Vue instead because we're old people who like the news and Wheel of Fortune. The states have not moved to data based internet yet, but I'm sure they will soon to screw over the massive amounts of people like us who stream tv from other options using their internet.

Morning. I got to sleep in for the first weekend in a long time. Baby is down for a nap and H is working on some electrical stuff in the basement while ds1 plays Legos. Later we're going to watch a charity hockey game and then going out to a friend's house warming/St Patty's/birthday party. Should be a very nice weekend.

Happy Saturday! I’m getting a pedicure then we’re running errands and packing to get ready for our trip tomorrow. C’s new favorite game is taking everything he can find upstairs and throwing it downstairs. And then screeching at the top of his lungs when I make him stop.

Now to decide if I stay with them or go to Comcast for a cheaper rate. TIL that Verizon provides cable in some places! But also yep that is why we cancelled time warner. That and the issues with our internet going out. We ended up getting a great deal on Dish for cable (ETA by that I mean satellite) and ATT for internet through Costco.

Have I told you guys about the time when H and I first moved in together and we set up internet and they sent the modem to the wrong apartment like 5 times? That isn’t an exaggeration. I corrected them every time. We finally got it set up and then they tried to charge us for the 2 months we didn’t use it due to them sending the modem to the wrong place. Exact words from the person I talked to: “well, what do you need internet for anyway?” YOU WORK FOR AN INTERNET PROVIDER. I should have escalated to a manager but I was honestly so speechless at that comment.

Oh and the only reason I didn’t switch providers was because in that apartment complex they only contracted with one company. Which sucked.

Also, hi all! So so so glad it is the weekend. Work has been so stressful lately. Just incredibly busy. But right now DD2 and I are cheering DD1 on at her tee ball game and it is a gorgeous day and I’m so happy.
H gets home from his work trip soon and we have a date night to see Captain Marvel tonight. 👍

We just got back from the parade. The girls did great despite it being pretty dang cold. Trying to get naps out of them and we're failing on both. DD2 would not settle in the crib and is now sitting next to me on the couch. H is in our bed trying to nap himself and I made him take DD1 who I can hear going crazy. So that's all working out fine. We're going to a party this evening were hoping they'd sleep a bit before. Guess not.

Hey all! Nothing new here really. I tried to take a nap earlier while the babies were sleeping and some assholes are shooting out in the back woods nonstop. It's beyond annoying.
Everyone has a little cold too. Blah. I cannot wait for spring

Nothing special here either. N and MH went snowboarding so it was just me and E. I did some grocery shopping and did a lot of playing. E must be over his growth spurt because his sleep is back to shit again.

Oh hai. I’ve been laid up since work ended on Friday by a head cold. Ugh.
My orientation is officially over. I feel slightly better but I’m not sure how well this is going to go. I’m technically solo now for my shifts coming up Tuesday and Wednesday but since there’s two booked c-sections each day we’re doing a pseudo training and I can practice circulating in the OR.
And I just found out that a position on the postpartum side opened up. My manager told me about it but also told me it would be to my benefit to not apply for it. Me sigh.
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
