Hi dizzycooks! Happy.... Monday? Two words that do not go together. I have a lot to accomplish in the next 3 days. A lot. I am procrastinating on aptm instead. Maybe I could just shred all this stuff. |

Good morning.
I'm packing and H has gone off to the county clerk's office to (hopefully) get a copy of K's birth certificate.
We leave for Colorado in the morning.
C is packing her suitcase (to be redone by me later ;-) and K is playing with play doh. We tried her booster seat yesterday and she loves it.

Thank goodness. One less worry.

I'm waiting for my sister to get here. I'm going to S's year end field trip with him, so she's coming to watch M for me. She should be here right away. I've got everything set up for her so all she has to do is grab stuff out of the fridge.

My mom is coming to watch DD today and I'm WFH.
Packing tonight to head out on my business trip tomorrow evening. H and DS come home tomorrow evening as well. So I'm leaving DD with my parents for a few hours, parking the car at the airport terminal, texting H the location and after he lands he will get the car and to pick up DD. Insanity I tell you!

scorpioscuba that is a great photo! I woke up with vertigo and it hasn't gone away. I keep having waves of nausea and spinning. Needless to say I'm a bundle of fun. We were going to bike to the library, but I'm not feeling it. I'm thinking a quiet morning and maybe the library via car in a bit.

copperboom I'm sorry your trip is starting off so tough. I am glad your dh got the bc. Hopefully it'll look better from here. But seriously, how did your parents think one nights stay would be the cost for the week? I can imagine the numbers are quiet different.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Http://notjustnovels.wordpress.com I have no idea. I cannot imagine that either. I still don't know how mom decided that we were going to renew our vows. She swears I said that to her. No. I really didn't. Ever. Not even as a joke. I'm a little worried about her/their connection with reality. |

They're cutting our paid time off at work and I'm one of the few people that know about it. I'm incredibly angry about it. It's not going to do a damn thing about the people that continue to call in and already don't care that they have used all their time up. Instead of dealing with that issue, we are all going to get less days.
Every time I've spoken with my boss today it's been an effort not to ask him what the fuck is wrong with him.

Only like 5 kids from S's class are here today, so I just have him and one little girl that I'm in charge of. It's been good so far. We did the guided tour, rode an old fashioned trolley and went on some 1920's midway rides. Now it's lunch and after that we'll look around some more and possibly ride the steam train.

I'm waiting on laundry to finish so I can finish packing. H is "packing" upstairs. Boys are so silly. He will pack his clothes and say that he's all done, while I pack myself, both girls, all extra little items, and get the dog ready for boarding.

Also, I talked to him last night about our older daughter. I think we (mostly him) are too hard on her and don't give her enough positive attention. He especially seems to only talk to her if he's telling her to stop doing something half the time. He of course doesn't see this, but he agreed to make more of an effort to be positive and follow my lead. I wanted to say, but have to be delicate, that I think their relationship is suffering because she only ever hears negative from him. He loves her of course, but it's like once she turned 6(!) he had really high expectations for her behavior that I think are unreasonable and not age-appropriate.
He's so affectionate and playful with K that I feel really sorry for C because he's just not that way with her anymore.

copperboom dh and I have the same talk, regularly, about our older dd. Our expectations are far higher than they would be if she were an only or if there were only two of them. She doesn't often get to do "big kid" stuff bc of her sisters and yet she is expected to be "on" all the time and help. It's not fair. I'm glad you're talking about it, and trying to make changes, but know you're not alone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Http://notjustnovels.wordpress.com

DH has packed before to leave for the weekend and I've walked in the bedroom after he's left to see he left an entire pile of stuff behind. Last time it was his socks. |

I think expecting too much from your oldest is common, especially when there is a younger sibling in the picture. It's tough to remember to let them be little!

The ole pelvic floor ain't what it used to be. I did a 45min cardio workout this afternoon and had to stop multiple times for fear I was going to pee my pants 😳. But I have to say that I'm really enjoying my workouts! Puts me in a much better mood overall.
And I don't feel guilty eating the cheesy chicken enchilada skillet I made for dinner 😬

I definitely put too much pressure on S. It's something I've been struggling with since not long after M was born. I need to get better about it. So does H. It's hard, because in some ways he's fairly mature (for a 5 year old, anyway), but in others he seems behind (to me, he's probably not actually). It's hard to remember how little he still is.

Cheesy chicken enchilada skillet sounds amazing kittenmittens! +1 on the packing issues. I orchestrate it all. But I can't really complain because I prefer to be in control of those things. silverspoon, that's shitty your boss is doing that. Definitely won't solve the problem either. 😡 |

+1 to packing everything except MHs clothes. And also preferring to do it myself. Because whenever I leave it to him, he forgets something. silverspoon, that's super crappy. I hate that feeling that they'll just do it because they can get away with it too. We have constant issues at my job with feeling like our salaries don't keep up with the market, but it seems like they only give increases to people who have another offer and threaten to leave. It's shitty. (FWP, I know) copperboom, I use tapatalk for photos too. I had darker lines on the test today! So I made an appointment. I was trying to sort out my calendar today and I realized I'm travelling for work at least 2 days out of each week for the next 4 weeks. It's a lot. I like work travel because it changes up my routine a bit, but then I feel like I can never get caught up at home. And my little guy has been so sad when I go lately  . |

H made supper tonight. Thank goodness. My head is killing me and has been pretty much since we left the school this afternoon. It was a good day. Long though. I hit like 11000 steps on my fitbit. Now I'm relaxing with a slurpee, waiting for the thunder storm I was promised to cool off. It was super hot here today.

My alarm goes off in four and a half hours. K has decided to be up every hour tonight. I woke up this last time so tense that my muscles in my arms are aching.
Sorry to always be bitching. Serious question though--what constitutes a need for treatment for anxiety? I feel like my issues are mostly situational. I think actual treatment would be for more constant/frequent feelings of anxiousness.
