I'm feeling anxious about keeping up with pumping while we're away this weekend and the kids are with MIL. I have an irrational fear of losing my milk supply. And the first time I was away from Will overnight (the Boston GTG a few years ago) I got my first postpartum period, and now I'm convinced that will happen since I'm leaving Evie overnight, and after my period came back was when my supply tanked the first time, and and and and...yeah.
And it's exacerbated by general feelings of anxiousness about leaving Evie this young (we didn't leave Will overnight without either of us until he was about a year old) and lack of sleep and some mild annoyance at Lorne.
And I really want a cinnamon roll.
Re: randoms
One of the two soda dispensers at Chipotle was out of order and had a sign that said something to the effect of:
This machine is out of order. All that it delivers is heartache and pain (and possibly wet shoes).
I should have all my SS stuff ready to go this weekend so I'll be sending it out Monday. I hope it makes it to my recipient in a decent amount of time.
I'm wearing makeup today.

Random story from a couple of weeks ago that doesn't deserve it's own post: We were playing Apples to Apples at Thanksgiving, and the adjective was despicable or something like that. Somebody played Mel Gibson, and there was also Saddam Hussein and some other random nouns. My mom (who is a die hard Repub, by the way) was the judge, and said it came down to Mel and Saddam, but in the end, she had to go with Mel.
My aunt was walking through and said, "What? Why would you choose him? He's a true Republican hero!"
CUE AWKWARD PAUSE
We thought maybe she had just somehow not heard about his, um, troubles, but no, she just decided it didn't matter. I don't even think he's a very vocal Republican anyway.
Also, my space bar is screwing up and it is mega annoying.
Noisy, I'm sure it will be fine! I would give you a cinnamon roll if I could
The nerve!

All the divorces have freaked me out a little.
I did completely uninspired Christmass shopping in one big Amazon shiitspree last night and feel slightly bad about it.
I haven't been out of my pajamas in several days. I have showered though.
Noisy, you should trick your body by putting some red hair on a baby doll and carrying it around with you everywhere. It will never know!
Both Sean and I have little colds. Not bad ones, just enough to be annoying.
Ferber is working slowly but surely. Took him about 40 min to go to sleep last night, but when he woke up about an hour later he cried for just a few minutes and went back to sleep without us having to go in there. Then he slept until 6:30. Woohoo!
Just talked to my dad and it sounds like my brother is in the throes of another deep depression. This should be a fun Christmas. :-/
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.

Fallin, are you still enjoying your lady of leisure status?
My random and maybe a Q for Noisy or Kristen - I quite BFing about 2 weeks ago, I did it very slowly, so it wasn't a big deal, no engorgement problems, etc. Then yesterday, I felt like a had a little bit of a blocked duct, which was kind of odd. This morning, my boob was dripping milk a little. Is that weird? It seemed weird. I also haven't got my period yet, but am expecting it soon. It's weird to experience PMS symptoms for the first time in 2+ years.
I get annoyed when people come into our office and assume I'm a secretary. I've never heard anyone mistakenly assume that one of the male attorneys is a secretary.
I'm going to Costco tonight and am pretty excited about it. i'm going to get some stuff for my customers and some new sparkly Christmas things
Everything that's going on in my life now would normally be put on hold with boozy evenings with my friends temporarily allowing me to take a break from the stress. Even my relationship with Andy is better when i'm drinking. We tend to sit together for a few hours every week or two, have some drinks and that lubes the communication wheels. I NEED BOOZE TO ENJOY COPING AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT.
I put new ice tires on my car yesterday and now i'm just scared that everyone around me hasn't.
Lila is having a sleepover at SIL's tonight. I love my SIL, she doesn't wait until we 'need" a babysitter, she lust likes to have Lila over for sleepovers.

when SB posted that her space bar was messed up, my mind immediately went to this

SB, i've played a similarly awkward game of Apples to Apples! a few years ago my sisters and i were playing with my cousin and his girlfriend/now wife. we were just getting to know the girlfriend, and the combination of playing G W Bush for "hero" and Feminist for "Evil" really gave me a window into her soul.

I guess not all the divorces have freaked me out. Some were pretty predictable. But J&J and Fenton and now Emjo seem like smart, kickass, good decision-making women, so seeing it happen to them is a little disconcerting. And, while Toots is stoopit in her "reasoning," it does feel like a lot of people, especially since none of my rl friends my age are divorcees.
I enjoy not working intermittently. This week, preparing for Xmas travels, is a good one.
I don't know this for sure. She posted about some Emjo-like issue but then got C&Ped to her crazy local board so hasn't updated since then.
This is making me heave. Ewww.
I was just scrolling around trying to find J&J's announcement on this. I missed the C&P that day.
Man, the divorce is going around. I'm so sorry to hear it.
I'm not getting a divorce. Life is good right now.
It's still undecided.
(I hope that's ok to respond for you Jen!)

I didn't know Emjo was getting a divorce!
The divorces don't freak me out, but they do make me very sad for the ladies.
The Plug Fairy visits today.......first plug-free nap is underway. No crying but I'm not sure he will be able to fall asleep. He's up there singing and talking.
And the plug, the only plug we have, is now at the bottom of the garbage can next to a diaper. There is no going back.
The husband is leaving on a basketball coaching trip to HAWAII tomorrow, and I'm not going. He is really bummed that I'm not coming (I could have, but I'm the newbie at work and didn't want to a take a week of vacation less than four months into my position). I'm bummed that I'm not going to be in Hawaii, and I'll miss Heith, but frankly, I'm really looking forward to getting Christmas stuff done, cleaning and chilling out alone for a few days.
Today is our cookie exchange at work. Which means I will be taking home 7 or 8 dozen cookies today. So I'll be alone for a week with 7 dozen cookies. A while ago I decided that the week Heith was gone I'd do a bit of a sugar cleanse, because I have been a junk food fiend times 10 lately. Me alone, trying to get off sugar, with 7 dozen cookies in my fridge. I'm sure this is going to work out real well for me.

I go back to work full time in January, and we are trying to nanny for the afternoons. Between M's tutoring and time at the pool, we need someone who's okay with p/t afternoon work, who is bilingual, and doesn't mind spending a lot of her time driving and waiting. I'm starting to get worried we won't find that person in time.
