I think I may need to complain just a little.
I'm not that overwhelmed, but I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Just today from midnight on. I didn't get to pump at midnight because I was so tired that I fell asleep just before that (that's what I get for laying down).
Woke up with Squirt at around 3:30am, fed him, then pumped for 20 minutes. Of course Squirt didn't go to sleep so I was up with him.
He finally decided to go to sleep just after 5am.
But he woke up again around 5:30am because Big E's alarm went off. So that was great. Thankfully I put him in bed with us and he went right to sleep again.
Woke up again around 7:30am and got him another bottle, Big E fed him this time and I napped on and off until 8am.
Got up, drank some coffee really quick. Had to call the Dr's office back (they weren't in then but called me back later) because of some paperwork I needed done but don't now. Talked to my unit about my orders. Pumped.
Big E left for work and I dealt with Squirt being fussy for about an hour. Oh, and was able to shove some cereal down my throat (really, how am I not losing weight? Probably because I eat like crap since I don't have time to make healthy options it feels like).
Then Little E woke up. He wanted watermelon so I got him that. Then chocolate milk. All while trying to calm Squirt down and feed him.
Then Little E wanted a poptart. Not ideal for breakfast but something quick because I still had a fussing baby.
Finally got Squirt to calm down enough for me to take out the over-flowing trash, wash bottles, put a load of laundry in, and let the dog out.
Had to yell at the dog because she was on Little E's table eating the food he had on there. So then cleaned that off.
Still dealing with Squirt getting fussy again. Finally gave him gas drops and he fell asleep for maybe 15 minutes.
Got Little E's pullup finally changed, got him dressed and put on sunblock so he could go play outside for a little.
He came in after a few minutes of playing in his sandbox because it's about 95 out today. And, of course, like always, he brings in his dump truck toys that are all sandy and washes them in the bathroom sink. So I had to go in the bathroom and clean that up.
This is all before noon.
I still have to call back the movers advantage people because they called and left a message. Plus feed the turkeys (probably won't happen till later). Feed Little E lunch. Feed myself lunch. And I'm sure an entire slew of other things while Squirt gets fussy too.
This is why I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed. I feel like I'm constantly doing something and there isn't time for me. I don't even know how I'm updating here (thank you iPhone).
Plus add in the stress of us closing on our home in a couple weeks and the loan application is still with the underwriter. It's been there forever. The first time it was there it came back and they wanted a ton more paperwork, and some paperwork I had already sent in so that was annoying.
I just want to move into our home and get it done.
I think we're leaving the floors until we get a bit more money since we just spent a bunch (or going to we owe it back to my in-laws) on a new fridge (the one that's being left is really old so it's going in the garage). I definitely want the counter tops changed, which means getting the sink we want. And maybe getting the cabinet doors changed too plus adding handles,
moving the fridge into the pantry,
building a little pantry (if possible),
Taking a cabinet down that I don't want up and possibly moving it into the laundry room closet area thing,
Fixing the foundation a little (there's a crack in one corner, but it's a concrete slab so it's nothing big),
Painting the bedrooms and kitchen,
Put in a french drain (there's some spots on the land that flood),
Buy a used treadmill for our workout area,
Buy beds (we don't have any, just a crib),
Put backsplash in the kitchen,
Paint the cabinets,
Fix the lawnmower,
and replace the locks
I'm not sure how much of that is going to get done. It depends how much we can get on clearance or sale.
And now it's time to go back to a fussy baby and then pump. Then maybe I can eat lunch.
