Anyone feel like whining with me?

Feel free to join in.

I want more weekend. I miss G terribly today. He has a cold (which I've now caught) and I want to spend the day cuddling with him on the couch, like we did yesterday.

I want to go down to 4 days a week at work, but can't afford it.

I'm in a rut. I want to work out. I want to lose between 5lbs-10lbs. I cannot muster the energy to do it; instead, I'll just continue to eat Nutella right of out the jar (with a spoon).

Casey being home has somehow made me lazy. I don't know if I just need to get over the exhaustion of August-October or what - but I just don't feel like doing anything around the house, like laundry. I stared repeatedly at my overflowing hamper all weekend and thought, "Eh...".

I almost poured corn flakes into the toaster this morning...I think I officially lost it. 

Here's my whine.   My daughter has been to so many doctors appointments over the past few months for reflux and now she has a skin issue and the pedi wants her to see a derm.   I know she doesn't have a life threatening disease and I am very thankful for that, but I just feel so bad for the kid.  She has been poked and prodded so many times.  She's afraid to go the  doctor now.

I hate school! Every week day morning I am so stressed with making sure dd makes it to the bus. She has been difficult to get ready lately and it is so frustrating. I hate telling her over and over to get ready. I honestly don't know how she made it to the bus today because I was sure she would miss it.

So I agree I would like more weekends! I had such a hard time getting up this morning and then dealing with dd.

I seriously am enraged with companies discontinuing things! I have whined about this before but my foundation was changed and the old formula discontinued. The new one is awful. I have tried like 8 different foundation samples and don't love any. I ordered a bottle of my discontinued one off eBay. I hope it is the right formula and that it isn't gross and unusable since it is a little old. Oh and that it isn't laced with poison from some crazy eBay seller...haha!

My bras were also discontinued years ago. I ordered and returned probably 1K worth of bras over the summer and have yet to find any I like. My bras are old and sad but I can't find anything worth replacing them.

I also am struggling to find some cute clothes.

Ugh!

Aww Ryan, I'm sorry. It's a tough balance - working out of home and being a Mom. I felt the same as you when I came off my very generous maternity leave. And as for lazy - your body is probably trying to recoup after teh last few crazy months - listen to it. As long as you claen gutchies, the laundry can wait another day or two!

April - have you by chance tried Sheer Cover? I hesitate to recommend them bc of the bad track record of billing, but I am now wearing foundation (when I need to put makeup on!) bc of them. I love the coverage it gives on my black undereyes.

I originally ordered the 1-mo sample for $32 or so (foundation, cover-up, mascara, "extended lashes" thingie, and a colored-type mix of foundation). I let it renew the next month with the 3-mo supply for the same amt per month. Then I cancelled. Seriously, 4 months of makeup will last me a year. I received an email that it has been cancelled - guess I'll know for sure come December. 

My whine: we had our first school project to tackle yesterday: making a costume for Gavin for an All Saints Day parade on Thursday, plus a poster and presentation for Friday. We had 2 weeks notice. (Although now we're prepared for future years since we know to expect it!) Thankfully, DH and I were able to channel any creative relative we have and got it done (minus the presentation part) in under 3 hrs, yesterday. Still, we were tired last night!

It's going to be a long next 20 years of education....

I feel like I am full of whines. I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I basically only sat down for meals and when we were in the car – soccer games, family photos, straightening, cooking, 5 hours at Zoo boo and laundry. (It was a very fun weekend, but it was EXHAUSTING!)

I really want to publish my next pattern this coming Friday. I got the edits back on Friday evening, but I haven’t had a chance to even look at them yet. I want to publish the one after that by 11/15 but I didn’t have time to work on that this weekend either. :-(

I haven’t made a meal plan or bought groceries for the week, we haven’t carved our pumpkins yet and this morning the gas line from the street main to the house failed the pressure test. So at the moment our house has no heat or hot water, and DH is spending the day trying to get it fixed. Though, honestly, part of me wishes that some of the project goes into tomorrow so I can work from home…even though I would be doing so while unwashed and cold!

I also need new shoes and some new clothes but I've not had any time to shop.

I wish I was back in Disney.  Our weather was beautiful and watching the kids take everything in was my favorite part of the trip. I loved seeing them ooh, ah and giggle all day long (with a few exhausted tantrums thrown in). With so much new stuff being thrown his way, the trip prompted Nolan to start talking in complete sentences. 

Coming home to the harsh weather and jumping into work this morning was HARD.  And the weight I gained utilizing the Disney Dining Plan made my pants a bit snug today.  It would be nice to be sitting at home in some jammies or yoga pants.

I needed an extra day off, too.  DH and I were away for our anniversary over the weekend and it was so nice to just reconnect and enjoy each other.  But, then we got home yesterday and it was back to reality.  I needed an extra day to recover and maybe do some laundry.

My whine is that Noah has a consultation with an orthodontist tomorrow, so we can see if he needs braces now or later.  (I know he'll need them eventually).  I really hope he wants to wait so that I don't have to increase my dental plan.  Even then, it only pays 50% of orthodontics.

My husband was sick this weekend, I wanted to smother him.

And my dog bit me last night trying to get back the paper towel I took away from him. It hurts and I always doubted he could actually bite since he doesn't have a whole lot of teeth.

Jackson got a love bite from a happy puppy Friday night that left a bruise.

Saturday Michael fell and we had to go to the ER for a staple for his head.

Sunday Steve left for a conference, so I'm solo parenting this week. The boys woke around 1:30 last night. They fell back to sleep, but I've been up since then. I'm on autopilot now.

I have no intention to cook---I survived on birthday party leftovers most of last week, and since we leave for vacation friday, I have no plans to cook this week either. I'm hoping we don't die of scurvy from the random concoctions I put together for meals.

Just throw in an orange for dinner and you will be fine.

I am late to the party but..... I am sick of French Canadians..... I just want to go home and sleep in my ownbed and see my kiddo. (and I gues DH too- Ha). I have very few english speaking channels on the tv in hotel and TLC has pretty much been on the whole time. I have seen lots of episodes of Long Island Medium and Say yes to the dress!! Ha.
