I was secretly hoping my mom would keep the kids a few more days but S1 said he wants to come home to go to a MOMS club thing tomorrow. So I have to go get them this afternoon. I'm kinda bummed. Yesterday was just crazy and I had no time to just sit. I still need to call the insurance company.

flippinchica, same as RunsforWineandCarbs. If she wanted me to pick her up a lot, I would sit her down next to me or on my lap. But really, I usually ended up pushing through and just picking her up for a few minutes then putting her down and then I'd redirect her attention to something else.

Packing and figuring out food for our camping weekend. Really hoping the kids do well! Neither DH or I have been camping in the last 20 years, so hopefully we know what we're doing, lol. Any favourite camping foods? Aside from smores, because of course that's on my list.
Family reunion on Sunday with my grandma's family. I haven't seen my great grandma since DS was born and her health is declining. I'm excited for her to see my kids. Definitely going to get some 5 generation pictures!
Started my Christmas shopping this morning, after seeing the M&D toys were on Zulily with free shipping and I had a credit.. The prices were no better than Amazon, but I spent my credit and got some stocking stuffers- scratch art paper, water wonder things, and sticker face pages.

Ugh I'm frustrated. We use shared files at work, but there are a few things I save directly to my PC (staff evaluations, my self evaluations, job posting information for my staff, etc). Well I went to look for it today, and it's gone. WHAT THE FUCK. I click on the shortcut to My Documents and the link doesn't work. Again, for emphasis, WHAT THE FUCK?! Looks like I'll be talking to IT this afternoon. Just what I don't have time for.

mommabakes, fun! hot dogs/kielbasa cooked on sticks over the fire, burgers, chicken drumsticks. When I used to go camping we ate a lot of fish too since my dad would catch it from the ocean and then cook it right there for us. Sausage & peppers.. yum.

Betweenthelines, babe butt sleeping has happened here a few times. Fortunately A wakes up dry 90% of the time so we haven't had an issue on those days. RunsforWineandCarbs- A is so freaking adorable and I love her little expression. Was she excited this morning? easternshoregirl- the past few nights I haven't been able to put A in her crib properly and just ends up falling halfway and waking up crying. I'm not ready to let someone else put her in her crib though. 😩 Peekaru- that dream sounds awful- I hate dreams like that. Pizzaslut... no one is going to care about the house. Don't let that get to you. Have you done a search for one of the files? The shortcut won't work if it's been moved, but if you search by name it should be able to find it.

easternshoregirl, yes, I've gagged on poopy diapers when I was pregnant with DD. I started putting vaporub under my nose. flippinchica, +1 to sitting with the kids and the bump. It will also be really hard when you come home with the baby, because you won't be able to pick up the big one. So get them used to it now.

mommabakes- eggs are super easy when camping. I use regular eggs for fried eggs, but if I'm making scrambled I usually my the carton of egg mix... it's just easier. Baked potatoes can be great, I bake them at home, wrap them in foil and store them in a ziplock and then heat them on the fire pit... instant potatoes are great too. Idahoan (sp?) makes some yummy mashed potatoes and you just add hot water. It's 2 cups of hot water per pack, so I usually just use one 16.9 oz bottle of water per pack of potatoes. Burgers, Brats, Hotdogs are all really easy.

I'm still waiting for my landlord to give me an answer. I really don't feel like my request is unreasonable. We've lost bed here for almost 7 years, always paid our rent on time and have never complained about anything... I don't want to move with a 9 day old... I really hope they let us leave a month or 2 early and I really need them to answer me so I can find a place.

Betweenthelines RunsforWineandCarbs @anyoneelse who works in construction/with men. How do you deal with everyone being at an 11 all the damn time? I feel like I'm too soft and easily upset. When will my thick skin come in??

mommabakes we like tacos for camping. I pre-make the meat and just re-heat there. I've also seen a thing on pinterest where you can bring individual bags of nacho chips, crunch them up in the bag, add your fixins right in the bag for a taco salad of sorts We also do a lot of sandwiches while camping and cut up veggies.

I try to let a lot of shit just roll off my back. I don't have enough time or energy lol

Betweenthelines DD1 did this. We went back to onesies or footed sleepers so she couldn't get it off. Duh. Makes sense. I only have one pair of footed PJs. I'll have to see what onsies I have laying around still if he continues these shenanigans.

I feel like I am ok with dealing with it in the moment, but I tend to internally agonize over everything and I need to figure out how to just let it go.

I am so close to giving up with this insurance thing. I am not sure what else to do. I called and talked for a very long time. Basically she said the policy can be subject to change at anytime, even in the middle of the year. or something to that extent. She also said that a letter (a denial letter) was sent to me regarding the appeal i sent last month but I have not received anything. They claim that I probably though it was junk mail and threw it out. No. No i did not. I haven't received it. She read the letter and he is being excluded because he has ADHD but the diagnostic code they are using (that the therapist is using) is not an ADHD code. I had been flighting this since May and I do not know what to do. She also accused the administrative assistant of likely not giving them the specific diagnostic code when she initially doing the benefits check. I said, "they are not idiots. this is no there first rodeo. they know what they are doing when they do a benefits check" This person was certainly the most helpful with getting info and for the first time i feel like i am not going to win this. I don't know what to do...... I am thinking of seeing if I can go to the therapy place and the administrative assistant, occupational therapist and myself all call at the same time on speaker and go from there.
I am ready to cry. I do not think I am going to win this.

I am at the point where I think my house is a disaster and will never be nice enough for people coming over on Saturday. I never get it cleaned as well as I like. This means I probably won't sleep much the next two nights. If only I could take off work... True friends don't give a fuck what your house looks like and just want to be involved in your life. If you wait to involve them in your life until things are perfect they'll have missed so much.

And if all else fails, CestLaVie , I go to the bathroom and cry. lol! I'm always on call and the issue came up at the gym! I was just going into the shower so I was going to have a cry then DH texted me and was like "cut yourself some slack. Apologize and move on - it's been dealt with". Then I felt a bit better haha.

I went to another moms house for a MOMS club meeting and mega blocks covered her floor. I even said, hey thats how my floor looks currently.

Went to the vet this morning to get my dog checked up. She's been acting withdrawn so they're doing blood work and trimming her nails while she's there. We're home now and I just want to nap. W is sick and sneezing a bunch. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

I have a magnet on my fridge that says this. It helps me keep things in perspective. For years we never had anyone over in our house because it's always been in construction and we wanted to wait until it was done. Years later it's not finished but I'm having people over because this is my life. It's work in progress.

jedi- leave the kids for another day. Tell DS1 he's staying there and even if he were home, you wouldn't be going to the mom's club thing. You need a freaking break dude and it's okay to leave them there.

CestLaVie,honestly i'm kind of a bitch so that plays in my favor. but i go for walks to decompress. i drink at home and work out. you have to stand your ground. don't let them push you around. so when someone basically says "just do it" i say just get me what i told you i needed to begin with. and giving no fucks helps a ton!

I'm hungry. And DD has a dentist appointment this afternoon. It should be interesting. I'm assuming her appointment will be done around 4:00. I wonder what she'll be up for afterwards.

I too am kind of a bitch, and I think it helps keep people from treating me like shit sometimes. It took me a long time, but I can finally stand up for myself when someone is being a ass face to me.
