Re: B&M post
We had our family pictures yesterday and Lucas woke up with major drainage in his left eye. E didn't want to reschedule so now on all of our pictures we have are with Lucas and a red ring around his eye from me wiping it. Afterwards we went to see his dr and he has a clogged tear duct. His eye looks much better today after the meds were started yesterday. Oh well.

Laura, the pictures are adorable! I honestly didn't notice his eye was a little red at all.
I had the last ten days off and it seriously didn't feel like a break at all. I've been running non-stop since we left for Colorado and I'm completely burned out. To make things worse, I'm the only person in my group working next week because I had agreed months ago to cover.
I really just want to crawl in bed and sleep until the year is over.

I woke up FREEZING! Steve had the a/c and a fan on in our bedroom... in December! The rest of the house is just as cold because the heat was turned off all night too. I'm bundled up as much as possible trying to warm up.
Some things were said this weekend by certain people in RL that really hurt my feelings. I didn't confront them about it because they truly don't see it as hurtful... they think it's funny teasing no matter how many times I've said before that it isn't funny. At this point it's just a matter of me needing to take the high road and ignore it. That doesn't make the situation any less hurtful though.

I'm still fighting with administration about practice scheduling, and the was they are reacting makes me want to quit and say "I'm done, YOU deal with the girls."
Of course I would never do that, but I seriously want to.
We had our "Eastern Montana" christmas with Ryan's mom this weekend, we drove halfway and met.
I get SO frustrated with DH because I want him to say things to his mom because she does stuff that ultimately makes US (not just me) uncomfortable, and he always finds an excuse as to why he can't tell her no.
Example: "KR LOVES SALMON!" she exclaimed why she was shoving it down his throat and not paying attention that he wasn't swallowing as fast as she was shoving it in. So of course he chokes, my SIL is holding him and she doesn't notice, Ryan telling her, "pound on his back!" She panics. I have a mini heart attack. KR throws up.
Then later she sets him down on the floor in close proximity to the coffee table, he falls back and slams his head into the table. She grabs him, and I grab for him. She got to him first. I knew he was really hurt because he didn't cry, just did a silent scream followed by screaming. I finally wrenched him from her arms.
Sorry lady, he's my damn son, and when he's crying like that, I want to hold him.
In other news, if I could grow some balls and just tell her how I feel that'd be nice.
That cry is the worse :-(
6 days out from Christmas and I'm not feeling it. I haven't been getting home until 7 at night. After fixing and eating dinner there isn't much time/energy left to go out shopping. We have very little $ to spend so presents are small this year (I'm ok with this, R needs to be reminded of it often). Nothing is wrapped. I only but up the 3ft tree this year, it looks sad. The cat keeps trying to eat it or sleep under it. I'm just waiting for it to fall. It isn't helping that the weather has been unseasonably warm.
On a positive note. We are getting a new (to us) fridge today! My ILs are getting a new bottom-freezer fridge and they are giving us the side-by-by! The ice maker needs to be replaced, but so does the one in our current fridge so that is no big deal.
Aww, he still looks adorable though!
Laura - I didn't notice the redness in his eye at all either until you mentioned it, and even then it's very slight. Can you ask your photographer to photoshop the redness out?
My B&M is that my vehicle that was supposed to be in this weekend now isn't going to be in until today or tomorrow. It sucks because we are buying it from a dealership in a different city so we had planned to go up Saturday to get it. Now DH has to take an afternoon off work so we can go up sometime during the week and get it, otherwise we won't be able to get it until after Christmas.
I find it stressful trying to coordinate between families for Christmas. I feel guilty because this is the first year my parents are actually able to be here for Christmas itself (versus a few days later) in years and we are leaving on the afternoon of the 25th to B's parents for three days.
Also, Mackenzie leaked out of the back of the cloth diaper this morning that i just bought 5 of this weekend! I hope I can get that figured out and didn't waste my money.
I would literally go to bed at 6:00 pm every night my first tri and STILL be so exhausted I could barely function
I really don't have much, lol... on vacation but I am frustrated that I cant find lights for my tree... seriously, everywhere seems to be totally out!
I'm also frustrated with a situation regarding my credential and the classes I took... long story but annoying...
That's about it.:)
I did not sleep well last night. That is a bad thing considering the week I have.
I forgot that on top of a huge project I have to accomplish today, I had another big mailing to help get out. On top of all my normal responsibilities.
Ordinarily I'd suck it up a deal, but today I have to leave work 2 hours early to take care of a Christmas project for part if my ILs gifts with my nieces and nephews because this is apparently only day they are all free and available. Was not planning for that, but thankfully work is flexible.
BUT because of the above, I'll have to come back to work tonight and work late.
So yeah.
My B&M is our movers showed up this morning, we had no idea they were coming. I'm happy they came early, but I wish T would have asked when he got a mysterious phone call last week saying that someone was showing up between 8-8:30 am he would have asked more questions. He's all stressed and it's stressing me out to no end with him being all jittery and frustrating.
I am also annoyed that we can't see the OB until I'll be 9 weeks 3 days, I was hoping to get in around 7-8 weeks, I just want to know that everything is going okay.
ETA: break up paragraphs, wtf happened to the nest and iPad update thing that I used to be able to just type and now it seems to have reverted back to the old way where I have to use HTML...
I'm tired of R dragging his feet on the TTC train. I understand that we can't conceive right now but I would like some sort of date that we can start. It seems like everyone around me is a mother or pregnant and it's driving me crazy that when people ask when we are going to start trying, I have to say "I don't know."
I wish I could find some sort of pattern with my headaches/migraines. At first I thought they were caused by my bc but I don't think they are anymore and are just occurring almost daily.
Geeze I feel like I could have written this post!

Ouch, Shorty!! Hope you recover soon!!! And Krissy, I'm praying for a speedy recovery for your dad! Tell your aunt that she can have dinner at her house if she wants, but it will 100% for sure not be at your house, whether your dad is home or not. That way, she won't even plan on it being a possibility.
I wrote out the longest work B&M and decided to erase it for fear one of my coworkers would stumble upon it. Bottom line, enrollment has increased an insane amount and we're understaffed.
- I forgot my iPod at home today, and I get totally stressed if I'm sitting working at my computer with our music. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it usually is.
- Our mortgage payment is coming out of the wrong account, and I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.
- I want our house to be clean already.
It's 8:40 and I'm just now sitting down to check the board and my blog. Thanks to our CRAZY weekend, I just finished laundry today at 6 as opposed to my normal Sunday at noon. Plus normal house cleaning, dinner making, shower, etc etc, I literally JUST sat down. This weekend is going to be just as crazy!
Our big sale at work is coming up and I have a ton of stuff to do. I know it will all get done, but in the meantime we're getting new computers tomorrow (!!! x a million!) so I can't work on very much tomorrow. It doesn't have to be done until next week but this time of year always makes me a little high strung..especially considering this year I'm the one doing most of the work...which I'm totally fine with! I'm definitely loving my job right now but yeah..still stressed!
J and I went to have lunch Saturday at the place where one of my friends works at...she found out a few months ago she's pregnant. I didn't post on here but it involved a lot of tears, anger, and hurt on my end. (I found out from someone else. Then I called her to ask her and she flat out lied. Then b&tched about being pregnant. "OMG I hate this." Shut up, k thanks.) Anyways...she's always had this competitive thing about her. She has to be the first to do EVERYTHING. ANYWAYS....J and I walk in and my friend's boss goes,"Sooo when are YOU getting pregnant?" It took all I had not to say, "Excuse me. I've been pregnant twice now. She didn't even WANT a baby until she found out we did." Instead I just said,"As soon as possible, I hope." I'm glad I chose that high road. I'm glad J did too. He was fuming.
Oh no Kari, big hugs to you!! That is so not cool.
