Sounds fun younglove316! And yay for projects being done! DH still has to move a bunch of tree stump grindings from when we had trees removed a fee weeks ago. We have no plans today and it's making me antsy. I don't have any desire to make any plans, but I also don't want to sit around all day either. Hoping I can find some motivation for something creative.

This week is DS' final week of summer camps. He started a computer camp. Just two hours a day M-F so he has that & then shortly after he has speech. No other plans. Last night we went to our town's National Night Out. It was fun. Free food, coloring contest, face painting, & climbing around on a fire truck.
I made lesson plans and did calendar with DD already. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I'm not sure if I'll window shop after (which could turn into me not window shopping) or come straight home. It's an hour away.
This morning we watched Fireman Sam, set up a big pillow so the kids could flip off the couch onto it, and played with Little People. This is the 2nd W in a row that DH has had things DD needs for preschool in his car, and the 2nd week I've called him and he's been like, far from car blah blah plan that means she'd be an hour late, so instead we improvised and she was only 15 minutes late but probably exhausted from 15 minutes of drama. I feel like this is rather non-functional of us but the only solution I have is to never let DH drive the kids anywhere. If DD is not insane after preschool, we may stop my the museum where a few friends are meeting.
LO and I had lunch in his house we built. A fancy house it is too - room for both of us and the dogs, plus a woodworking shop and two lofts with balconies even (a.k.a. chairs not 100% covered by the "roof").

I think one of my favorite activities this winter is going to be fort building

So two of my mom friends keep saying they miss us and we need to get together. Then I go on facebook and see they do playdates of their own. Why is this so hard?!

Seriously! Or like I said to this one mom--too bad the moms' group is so flaky--and she's like, "yeah, that's why it's better to just make plans on your own." Um, okay, but you have never once asked me to do something.
I feel like with every "mom" relationship I have to try 1000x more than the other person seems to...which I feel like is a bad policy for friendships in general, as you don't want to be the needy friend who no one really wants to see...but on the other hand, most of these people require 10 invites and then you finally get together and have a great time and make all these future tentative plans, but then it takes 10 more invites and 2 more times that they cancel at the last minute before you finally get together 2 months later and it's fun. Of course also now many of the kids speak and also are busy, so you never know if it's just that little Aly doesn't like your kid or always wants to play with Precious from preschool or if it's all the mom's deal... I think mostly it's just that a lot of moms have family around and best friends that they actually see and just are busy and so really aren't looking for friends as much as just an occasional way to fill a morning, and so it just isn't worth it to them to plan things...
I think it's hard to find the right fit of mom friends. I struggle with the same issues... impossible to get together but it's fun when we do. I don't have mom friends here except for the ones that I have made in the three years we've lived here. It's hard because I feel like I'm horning in on their time since they've been friends their whole lives. I know if the tables were turned, I'd be happy for fresh blood but it is easy to feel insecure about my contributions to the group.
As for us, swim lessons are done tomorrow and we did zoo this morning. Fun day. I've been having a clingy and yelling one-year-old lately too. Do they go through an eating spurt around a year or so? He just wants to eat everything but also "needs" to feed himself. It is driving me nuts.
If any of you have Netflix, we watched Beat Bugs today and I recommend it. It's cute bugs going through little adventures and all the 11-minute episodes have one Beatles song tied to it. I'd rather have that than Bubble Guppies in my head.
oreobitsy my DS2 has been super clingy lately and so, so hungry. He eats more than I do. He is 13 months old. I cannot afford to feed this kid for 18+ years!

It must be that age then! He had a TERRIBLE night last night, just 2 solid hours of crying or fussing. He really is so easy-going normally but I worry he is losing the easy-going part and heading towards Mr. Toddler too fast.

I have bragged about his easy going ness to his EI coordinator only to have him scream the entire meeting. He screamed through lunch with a coworker yesterday after I said "he's really easy it will be a breeze!".
I'd like my happy baby back please. And maybe for him to eat just a tiny bit less?

Ugh tell me about it. I cut back on his cow's milk to see if that is causing some discomfort and he is not really too pleased with me. We just left a lunch with some friends where he happily gnawed on brother's pizza crusts. I hope for both of our sakes this is just a phase.
