Spammy Weekend

[txmommy14]

Sometimes I forget to check over here now that we have other means to communicate!

We have some people cleaning our house right now which is AMAZING!!! I found someone that will clean our entire house (two people) for $65 (our house is 2,000 square feet). It's such a good deal I almost feel bad, and I don't even care if they don't do an amazing job. I am sitting here holding my baby while someone else cleans!!

Go ahead and make fun of me, but we are buying a van! We had someone looking at our car last night that made an offer, so now we are looking to purchase a used Honda Odyssey. I think we will make some money on the deal, so we are going to try to use that to pay hospital bills. We will see! I can't wait though. I didn't think I'd get a van until 3 kids, but I have no rear air conditioning in my CRV and with the Texas heat, it's been miserable and I'm always worried the babies are overheating!

No plans for the weekend. I hope to sneak into the shower for a few minutes. DS has gotten the hang of nursing but it's so nonstop and add to that that time seems to be screeching by super fast, I feel like I have maybe 10 minutes between nursing sessions. (In reality it's probably an hour but still)

I need more coffee.

We are at my in laws this weekend. It is beautiful in the mountains. I am getting ready to go for a run with a friend. We will spend the day at a private lake and let the kiddos fish and swim.

$65?! Send them to NC when they're done, txmommy14! Also, I drive a truck that doesn't have backseat A/C and the sweatiness baby alive. We bought a $20 fan that plugs into the lighter and suctions to the back window and it. Is. Amazing. She is soooo much happier. Idk how soon you're getting your van but that could help in the meantime.

So glad to hear y'all have gotten the hang of it GOmamab15!

Did everyone move to Facebook? Is that why the board is dead?

[bighair12]

I actually prefer the boards for most. I wish people would come back!

[manybellsdown]

I like the boards best too, but I try to check both places.

Currently sitting upstairs at a birthday party nursing my marathon nurser. It's his favorite place to be! I'm fairly bored.

This sounds amazing.

This is me chilling with the nursing/dozing baby in one room while MH chills with the sick toddler in the recliner in the other room. I'm watching via baby monitor and we've been chatting through it. Life with 2u2.

[ArgyleEnigma]

So that's what happened! Too bad. I still wasn't ready to give up anonymity so I'm not in the fb group.

[nymama917]

Hi guys! I am always checking the board on mobile and it's such a pain to tag people. What do you ladies use! Tap talk?

I'm in toddler hell today. She's an absolutely monster. Not listening, being deliberately defiant, and has kicked me twice and hit me once. Time outs aren't working encausr she's just cracking up and running away. She's out of control. If I had family closer I would be dropping her butt off cause I need a break. I'm trying so hard to have patience but after the hitting and kicking I'm over being pstient. She's so terrible at home I just want to be out with her where she listens but it's way too hot to have the baby outside for any length of time. My saving grace right now is that I've been home with the nanny when she goes down with nap so she went down fin le for me because she's used to me being around for Naptime (she used to refuse naps on the weekend). She better wake up with a new attitude!!

[titania]

I also like the boards! I just end up checking both.

txmommy14 that is super cheap! Wow! Enjoy your clean house! And congrats on the van?

GOmamab15 yay for getting the hang of nursing! So happy for you!

bighair12 so jealous! Enjoy your day!

pdxlaurens I know that is hard, but super cute that you guys are chatting thru the monitor

nymama917 I use tap talk and I find it pretty easy to navigate. I'm so sorry you are in toddler hell. HUGS!

[titania]

We are headed to a beer tasting at a friend's house today!

We are hanging at home today and will venture out to get DSs haircut this afternoon. Trying to get stuff done before DH goes back to work. Items in the list include dishes, laundry, installing the soundbar from prime day, editing Los newborn photos and ordering his birth announcements.

Yay for getting a sound bar! I love ours!

It never went on sale for prime day so we bought it anyway. I hope we like it! We've just been using the tv speakers since we moved a year ago. DH went to hook up the sound system last week only to find it was broken in the move last year!

[lakecountrygal]

I took DS to a parade this morning and wore DD in my Ergo. We all survived!!!

DS and DD are both napping and I should probably do the same but instead I'm watching "Orange is the New Black" and avoiding housework. DH "asked" me to clean the kitchen, bathroom, and mud room on his way out the door to work after waking DS up before 5am. I may attempt to clean later, but right now I'm enjoying the quiet.

I think it is totally worth full price. I like that you can use the Bluetooth on it to play music as well as way better tv sound quality!

+1. 
I have residual stranger danger from an incident on my old BMB. 

Me too.

[packerfan4life]

Went to the splash pad this morning. I should be working out while the kids are napping but instead I'm laying on the couch while DD2 naps on me. 2 weeks in and I've now skipped two days in a row. I suck at working out.

I feel like going to the splash pad should count as a workout! I don't have any sort of semblance of a workout plan so I'm impressed even if you have skipped twice!

I don't think it counts as a work out when you sit in the shade with the baby lol

I'm trying! 😉

[ArgyleEnigma]

You can always work out-- there is limited time for newborn nap jail.

txmommy14 I have a van and I only have one. I saw a kid in a jacked up camo truck and thought to myself, "The difference between you and me is I could pull off either of our rides."

They see me rollin'
they hatin'

We're having a pretty busy weekend doing family stuff. I have more IL vents, but will wait to share until I have more energy.

I like the format of TCF also and plan on staying. My issue is that I don't want to post pictures of my kids on this public board. I'll post them in the private board and in our small FB group, but not on here. So I would like it if we moved everything to the private board, but I'll stay regardless.

[titania]

Ugh sorry about the ILs babyzebra!
