Good morning!!!!!
Kate
it's great to have you!!!
Luflic-Drive safely adn enjoy the baby!!!!
Jen-I hope you are able to get some of your weight off before the end of the year and if surgery is the best path for you I wish you best of luck getting it all through. In the mean time we're here for you !!! My sister's surgery wasn't denied as she originally thought, the ins just requested more info. So she sent it and has tentative surgeery date pending approval (which the secretary fully expects to get).
I'm off an running this morning. Yesterday was DS's 2nd b-day. So we were across the road until very late last night. It was a BAD day with the kids. They were screaming and crying so loud my husband's uncle who is doing the remodel on my in laws' house stopped his masonry saw to look at my house to see what the noise was!!! I was so stressed I ate all day. The stress is mounting today. DH bought two bushel of peaches even though I said I didn't want to deal with canning this year. I tried canning saturday but they weren't ripe enough. So I was too busy all week to get to them now many are too ripe. I am stuck canning alone while doing laundry and watching 4 kids. I have 7 quarts in teh canner and 7 quarts of peaches peeled and pitted ready to go in the next canner oncethis one cools.
Then...need to vent sorry you are the only adults I can talk to lol... I have to go to the preschool Firday to fill out all the usual new employee paperwork ect. MIL was supposed to take DD and DH was supposed to take DS while I did my paperwork then I was taking DS to the dr. Well, DH has a conference call in all likely hood and MIL has to take her car to the garage. So I have no child care. DH thinks I can just take the kids with me. How unprofessional is that? I already have to take the baby I watch and my two kids with me when I set up my classroom next week. The lady I watch kids for can take time off work to clean her house, buy groceries, run errands, mulch her flowers while I have her kids, but I can't get my job done. Everyone else's jobs are more important. I know many parents face this all the time. But it's like I feel like everyone else has time to get done what they need to and I get dumped with thier kids and mine. Dh takes for granted that I can just drag teh kdis along everywhere b/c that is what I always do. Well, this isn't a trip to Walmart.
The kids are fighting constantly already, I have a head ache and a fridge full of half rotten peaches. I already scarfed down a huge bowl of cheerios. If I had any left over birthday cake it certainly would be in my mouth by now.
Sorry. Not very cheerful. Got to run. I hope everyoen has a good day. I'll feel better once I get some of these peaches done.
