I need to catch up from Monday & Tuesday yet. Work is crazy busy right now and I haven't been able to jump on and see what's up! Today will probably be the same. It will be a shorter day though. K has her 2 year appointment this afternoon.

Last night was Pre-K graduation for C! It was too cute. Between "We are kindergarten" sung to the music of "we are the champions" and the hip hop dance, it was awesome!

Also, we have been dealing with shit sleep. She goes between sleeping a few hours in her own bed to only sleeping in ours and when she is in ours she is restless and has to be touching one, if not both, of us all night long.

not a great start to my day. and my 4 yo has been super whiny and crying over everything. she must have cried 5 times since she got up at 6...to put it in perspective, it's only 7:20 now, and i've been at work for 20 minutes at least. she cried because i wouldn't carry her, she didn't get to brush her teeth first, i gave C his plate before i gave her hers, C opened the door, she didn't want her hair up (spoiler, i wasn't doing her hair, i was pouring the coffee that was about to burn my mouth, said distraction), because C was looking at her in the car.
That was just this morning, this has been going on for about 2.5 weeks. I can't take much more.
Is it too early to drink? (something cold that it is).

Sorry about the burn RunsforWineandCarbs and the whining. Hard to decide which is worse. @takeyheshot one of my mom friends said there is a mouse in her car. She figured this out because it wrecked one of her car seats looking for fallen Cheerios fierymama yay for graduation. We start school in 3 weeks and have gotten zero notice from the school on back to school/meet teacher night or class lists or school supply lists. I only know the supplies because target gets the lists somehow.

Last night was fun and relaxing, my moms club went to a nearby workout place. One of our members organized a free yoga class. Then we ate at the club and sat in the outdoor hot tub. Just what I needed. Seriously.
We were suppose to have a playdate this morning but it's raining so we moved it to Friday. Not sure what we'll do this morning.

jedi - School starts on the 23rd. We just received teacher assignments on Monday, bus assignments for the district went out yesterday, orientation and back to school night are the 21st. Still no supply list that I have seen. He has a backpack and that is it so far. Not sure if the district just supplies all the things or what. Guess I will find out on Monday!

Ugh RunsforWineandCarbs, I did that a couple of weeks ago when I was out and about with E. It sucks but hopefully it feels better soon! My mouth was wrecked for about a day. fierymama, solidarity on the crap sleep. jedi, that sounds like an amazing night out! I'm glad you got to go do that. Packing stuff up to leave this afternoon! A friend is lending us her umbrella stroller (including gate check bag) so I have to go pick that up and I will swing by the dollar store to grab a couple of new little toys for E.It's technically a red eye but I don't know how much sleep we'll actually get so tomorrow might be kind of rough. Plus my back is so sore when I sleep in any bed besides my own so I'm hoping at least one place we stay has a soft bed that is easy on me. (I set my sleep number to 15, it goes 0-100 with 0 being the softest and 100 the firmest.) But that is travel and what we exchange for getting to do/see amazing things. I'll get through it! Even though my personality is more rigid in general, I have more experience traveling and usually handle it better than DH....he gets a little agitated/stressed in travel situations, so it is weird that we sort of flip-flop our roles. The steroids are freakin amazing. I was able to sleep last night (also took Benadryl at bedtime upon doc's rec) and woke up kind of itchy this morning but it didn't keep me awake all night like the night before. What a difference! And Calamine lotion is actually helping. I feel like I've used it on bug bites before and it never did shit but it is working on my poison rash, so that is another relief!

RunsforWineandCarbs, I can't stand whining. It seriously makes my skin crawl. I tell Little Bones that I can't understand him when he speaks like that and to use in normal voice. If after a couple of times of repeating this dance, I ignore. It's a... work in progress.

easternshoregirl, I hope you feel better soon. My little brother would get really bad poison ivy breakouts. We use to joke he didn't even need to touch it- I'm not sure we were that far off, honestly.

Yeah, skinandbones, some people get it from the oil in the air, I think, if the poison ivy is stirred up or whatever... not sure I'm that sensitive, I nope not!

I hate my fucking cats. Today is treatment day. I trapped one cat in one bathroom and another cat in the other. Stupid me forgot to tell my 5 yr old not to open the bathroom door. So one escape and it's the one that hides in the fucking floor boards. So I won't see him all day. At least I got one of the cats re-treated.
Good news after my vent about the school situation I got an email an hour later and back to school night is on the 30th. Teacher assignments should be received this week.

Fuck I need a drink. I left Ethan alone for about 5 min so I could collect laundry. In that time he managed to get in my wallet. I have no clue if he swallowed any coins. He also managed to turn one if the knobs on the gas stove. I normally keep my wallet out of reach but with getting home late last night I left it out.

skinandbones, I do the exact same thing. I just pretend whining is a different language that I don't understand at all.

My period is back! So of course, I put in a tampon and immediately called my OB to get my IUD inserted. No babies for me for at least 3 years.

Also +1 on the asshole cats jedi. 2 days ago, I was putting E to bed and DH was in the shower. She took that 10 minute opportunity to pee all over my couch and all over our diaper bag for the third time in 2 weeks. She will now literally not use the litter box AT ALL unless she's in the kennel. We are going to have to start looking at rehoming. She's clearly not doing well with 2 kids and her being so skittish. So we're all miserable and I'm done cleaning up cat pee.

Hey there everyone! Trying to catch up here. Been SO busy lately. Today is M's birthday Having a 'low key' party with family tonight. I realized last night at 11:30 that I do not actually understand what 'low key' means. Sigh. I will never again plan a party on a work day. Feeling a bit stressed to get everything ready on time. I should have ordered pizza, but had it in my mind to make a variety of mini sliders (FU pinterest for planting ideas in my head! lol). So after my meeting this afternoon, I have to fly out to pick up a cake, M from daycare and get home to prep the food.....then the 'low key' can start, when the 15 people show up. Have a great day everyone!

And E is loving the dress up clothes she got for her birthday. She puts them on within 10 mins of waking up and I have to wrestle her out of them at bedtime.
