Need a weekend redo

So P has a cold. Lily has been acting clingy and not really eating since Friday. I tried to say she was getting sick but P insisted it was just teeth. I've been up since 6 with Lily. She threw up several times this morning. My check engine light came on yesterday. The heater decided to stop working mid-morning and its cold and snowy today. I asked P to run to the store for some basic groceries since Lily wants to be touching me at all times. He's downstairs on his computer.

Just so over this weekend.

Re: Need a weekend redo

  • Can I have a weekend redo too?  I've gained 60 lbs since Joy and I got married.  We decided that this would be the weekend we start both taking better care of ourselves.  And of course that means eating more reasonable portions (at least in my case).  So I've been grumpy to begin with.  Ryan is going through a fussy stage where like Lily he seems to want to be held all the time.  Maybe they should just hold each other?

    Went to Wal-Mart to pick up some sweat pants because walking out of the gym when it is 30-40F outside isn't fun.  Somehow my trip to pickup two $6 pairs of sweats turned into buying a jogging suit and a $60 Wal-Mart bill.

    On top of that, the second of the hospital bills have shown up.  I'm still in a mood from not picking up the appliances that Joy said we were waiting until Black Friday to get.  Not to mention still haven't got the gas line run that we needed to convert the range from electric to gas and for the grill hookup.

    Oh and back to the better care of ourselves, we went for an exercise walk, but Joy seemed more interested in taking pictures of me in my jogging suit with the stroller (that sorta matches) than actually walking.  So things were said about that and her desire to have every Christmas decoration in the neighbourhood and she's now in a mood....*sighs*

    Sorry, I normally try not to say bad things about my wife on here, but I needed to vent....:(

  • You guys are having a rough weekend for sure. I'm sorry things are so crappy. I hope it gets better. The holiday season is stressful enough. Add in sick toddlers and little babies and it becomes even more stressful. I remember the first few months after
    Abby was born were super stressful and dh and I fought more than ever. Hang in there. I hope Lily feels better and Ryan overcomes the stage he's in.

    I'm contemplating cutting out Abby's drinks overnight in hopes that she has less wet diapers and wake ups. DH is not exactly on board because we get drinks overnight as adults if we're thristy. We'll see. I can only stay up 2-4 hours in the middle of the night so many times before I'll crash.

    Do you take turns in the middle of the night?  Joy and I originally were going every other waking.  Now it's more of a first half / second half of the night type thing.

  • I was busy traveling with work. Very happy to be home. Did you know that at the end of pregnancy airlines consider you temporarily disabled. It got me pre board status and a nice comfy seat.

    Hope lily gets better!
  • We can all have weekend redos! Mark, I totally understand about the weight. I'm still up 13 lbs in baby weight and another 15 or so from the wedding making for a total of 28 I need to lose. That's after losing 15 recently. I was doing decently well eating better until Thanksgiving. And P keeps asking for cookies/sweets.

    He still never went to the store. And was up stairs earlier talking about calling in tomorrow since Lily is sick and just in case I get sick.

    I think it's okay to vent and as humans we all get irritated with our spouses occasionally. Add a baby/toddler to the mix and someone is bound to be in a mood most of the time.

    Reminds me of here sometimes.  Joy complains about how much I snack, but she sits in front of me snacking all the time....:(  Healthier than my snacking, but still snacking in my book. :(
