We had a nice night at the housewarming party. I felt very old there even though I was at most only 3 years older than any of the attendees. But we were the only ones with kids and actually as far as I could tell the only ones even married yet. Cool people, just a very different crowd than we're used to.
We had our sitter til 12 but we ended up getting in at 11. It was so nice to get home to the burbs and watch some TV with H. And also to eat. They did not have any food at the party 😬
God. I really am getting old.

I must have hit my knee on something and bruised it deeply. I can hardly walk, having to ice and elevate. I don't remember hitting it! Weird considering how messed up it is, you think if I knocked it that hard I would remember. Were you drunk recently? lol nope!

Hey all. Catching up now. Yesterday we had a last minute visit from my cousin and her daughter. I needed some reflection time after that. She has the worst version of spina bifida and a whole host of other things along with it. She turns 4 in October and Mia was bigger than her. It really put me in my place and opened my eyes. My cousin is a super mom. I was in awe watching and listening to her.
H also turned up the Dad skills yesterday. Changed two poopy diapers and went in to soothe M last night on her millionth wake up so I could drink a beer in silence. Much appreciated.
Overall I'm just really thankful right now for so many things. I worry. A lot. But, I'm glad that I was grounded a bit into realizing that my worries are small potatoes.

Happy Sunday! O has a yeast infection, thrush and an ear infection. Fun times! I have to give him so many different medicines that I had to write it down.
Does anyone else's mom just blatantly not follow your instructions in regards to your LO? My mom and dad babysat last night and I wrote down instructions (mainly for all the medicines). But I said to put him to bed at 7 (which is already 30 mins later than normal) I text her at 735 and she has not put O to bed!!! She said he's not tired. Are u kidding me? I've learned O is very go with the flow and he doesn't give many signs so we just keep him on his schedule. So frusterating!

Very annoying but something I have (begrudgingly) come to accept.

How'd the meeting go goldenlove? Yes cookswithwine. I remember having so many issues with people not respecting our schedule with O. So annoying. Now, as danib said, I've learned to emphasize the non-negotiables and force myself to let the rest slide.

Had an uneventful day here. Got in a nice little fight with H earlier because he insulted me and then wouldn't apologize because he's stubborn. What a douche! But we all grew out of our funk and made it to the pool and park for the afternoon. Ended up in an impromptu play date with these 2 moms who have kids the same ages as ours. We cross paths with them often in the neighborhood and at activities, but we actually set up our blankets and had a picnic with them. It was fun and helped change our moods. Now praying for any kind of decent sleep tonight. God speed to my other fellow poor sleepers.

cookswithwine Yes. A hundred thousand yes. Both my mom and MIL screw the babies' sleep up. It is so annoying. My mom does a great job with the kids but every office day I come home and my kids have had 1 nap. Maaaaaaybe they've had their second but neither nap for more than 20 minutes. "Well he woke up and looked straight at me". I don't care, give him a sip of a bottle and put him back down, he doesn't know how to transition. Also mine both have thrush and some other crap (AV has a clear runny nose today and now a fever on and off - like every hour it spikes and then goes down and spikes and goes back down). Btw they HATE that thrush medicine omg. That must be the worst part of parenting I've experienced so far, yes even more than the sleep stuff. They refuse to open their mouth.

kleigh O does not like the thrush medicine either. But he likes other medicine so he still opens for the syringe bc he doesn't know what's in it lol.

tgrimes that's even more random than my knee! Drinking? Sex injury? Baffling. Definitely neither. I didn't notice it until I picked up H after his 2nd nap. It hurt so I looked down and it was a bit swollen. 30 min later it was bruised. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm just going to blame you.

cookswithwine I usually have sleep issues with my parents and food issues with ILs. hangry The meeting went great! It was a builder that usually does subdivisions but just recently started a build on your lot program. It's not fully custom but we found a plan that we liked and we still get the subdivision pricing. We went through and added upgrades for all our "yes" and "maybe" options just to see where the price would land, and it was still under budget! So that was a good first meeting. We'll have to meet with a couple more places to compare. I love drunk jubilantsquirrel! Somehow I figured out what she was saying.
