Ohhhhkay so we have had some major developments here in the last few days.
I hope you all are doing better than I am today!

I have been picking up random shifts serving at my old work, and also started working at a martini bar. Weeee! Its pretty fun, and good money. On the weekends (I’ve only worked 1 so far) there’s a pianist that comes in to serenade everyone & its a really fun relaxed atmosphere. But I’m not digging the hours away from my girls. Its hard. Plus I’m so tired from [name_f]Indy[/name_f] (I think I like this spelling better than [name_f]Indie[/name_f] now) waking me up through the night & I feel like I must look completely haggard all the time. She’s not taking a bottle very well either so poor [name_u]Corey[/name_u] has to deal with a LOT of screaming & crying while I’m away. Stressful. I am telling myself that my sore back & tired feet will be worth it cause all the walking around I have to do for work is going to help me burn off some of this baby weight.

[name_u]Corey[/name_u] got notice that his current work contract (that he’s taking Parental leave from) is not being renewed so as of [name_f]May[/name_f] 2nd he will be out of a job… And unless he can find another position within that same organization, he will not qualify for the top-up he has been receiving & will have to pay it all back. AAAAAAAAHHHH! We are freaking out. So he’s making some calls & hopefully something will open up soon in another department. He will be able to continue to collect his parental EI at least, until [name_f]September[/name_f], and as long as I can do a few shifts a week serving we should be able to get by without dipping too far into our savings… Not that we have too far to dip, since most of our finances are tied up in our home & RESPs and Mutual Funds. Gah.

Did I mention Azula is cutting 4 teeth? She is a clingy, whiny mess. I think [name_f]Indy[/name_f] must be teething too cause she is biting the crap out of my nips! Seriously, I thought I was going to get through nursing this baby without any blisters - wow was I ever wrong. Bring on the Lanoline. I’m hoping that’s the only reason my boobs are currently MASSIVE & popping out of my brand-new blimp size bras.

[name_f]My[/name_f] neighbour came by today to nag me about taking care of the 8X4’ garden in the front of our townhouse. I gently reminded her that um hello I have two little babies & pruning that rhododendron is NOT currently a priority in my life.
And finally, 5) [name_f]My[/name_f] toddler is officially a potty mouth. We think she’s trying to say Yuck. We’re trying not to encourage her but oh man it is so hard not to laugh when she flings her arms out to the side & in her high shrill little voice screams “F***!”. Yikes.
Anyway, finished venting now. Bedtime Zzzzzzzzz
