DoesItComeInPink, I can't wait for fall!! Salted Caramel Mochas are probably my favorite Sbux drink. I hope you get to enjoy them this year!

Today I'm wearing a pair of non-maternity skinny jeans two sizes down from my heaviest pregnancy/post-partum size. Now, this is a few sizes up from pre-pregnancy, but hey - I'll take it. It felt really good to put on a cute pair of jeans and have them zip up comfortably.

We have a phone interview with the potential nanny tonight after C goes to bed. FX this is it!!

DoesItComeInPink, yay for cooler weather and yummy coffee! I've never tried this salted caramel mocha but now it's on my list!

geners, FX for you with the nanny! And that's AWESOME about the jeans! Happy dance!

Mondays are the hardest to leave EG after spending the whole weekend together. I was telling H this morning that she has been a lot less clingy than usual. *knocks on wood* Lately she has been crying when I walk out of the room and has to follow me everywhere, but over the weekend and this morning she did really well just playing on her own. She is coming off of a sinus infection, so maybe that was causing it. Either way, it's nice to be able to do some chores without a little ankle biter under my feet.

Same old same old. Emma popped a top tooth and seemed to have a bit of a cold yesterday. Kids' sleeping has gotten wonky, only did 2 hours on Saturday and then had a three hour and then one hour nap on Sunday. So didn't go to sleep until late yesterday night and up at 6:30 this morning. This kid knows when she is in bed alone and gets up earlier. She is working hard on walking, easily walking and holding on to things and is now trying to stand without holding anything. Yikes. She will definitely be walking by 9 months. God help us all.

Rest of life is the same, my old horse is not doing as well this summer but we have him on a new med and will see how he does. Poor guy is arthritic, especially in his neck, but still doing okay. We just keep evaluating him and his quality of life. I do need to figure out a back up plan, though, for my other guy that he is out with. He won't tolerate being alone and has been known to jump fences. So will need a companion pronto. I just don't want to add a third to them since the old guy tends to get beat up on. My other guy is kind of an ass. My mare is doing well, competing again this weekend, and has qualified for area championships which is pretty cool. She has moved up a level and schooling the next so should move up this winter/spring. Goal is to see how high she can go and so far she has been pretty nonplussed at anything that is being asked of her over fences. Trainer is having a blast with her and I try and get on whenever I can.

Can't wait for cooler weather. Better today but still very summery. Love fall and brisk mornings.

We are so far from fall here. I'm jealous.

I think the baby is on the mend. She is a snot factory, though. So gross. At least it's coming out I guess.

She is really changing fast right now. It's so amazing to watch. Coming up on my favorite age (at least in the baby stage). She really wants to stand. She's trying to pull up, but she's still far from that I think. When I stand her up, she will hold on to something and stand by herself now. Yesterday she turned from a toy to me while standing.

The older two are starting to gang up on us at bedtime. It is not amusing. My 4 year old is becoming increasingly mischievous and my 2 year old just follows absolutely everything she does.

evenkeeled, sorry to hear about your horse. I know several people who have kept donkeys or mules as companions for horses when they haven't been ready to take on another horse...I think they generally find them through rescue.

Chugging away at work over here. we're still anxiously awaiting word on the position H interviewed for, his boss has received several calls from HR (he told us saturday that he's never had that many calls and then not seen an offer)...his impression is that they're working on putting together a compensation package...I'm trying desperately hard not to get hopes up too high.

Heading a bit farther north today. We've had a fun and busy weekend so far. Here's Margs getting her Maine on:.

[RoLoMa]

M has a little ear infection and pink eye from it. We have eye drops and an oral antibiotic. Send wine.

Add in that he had a big blowout on the way to daycare today.

F you Monday.

Here was my evening (this was the message sent to my H) Getting Finn ready for bed and Rowan wakes up. Go try to get Rowan back to sleep. Finn stomps through kitchen waking Rowan up to whisper yell he needs to poop. He loudly runs away. Rowan goes back to sleep. Finn stomps through again to look at me and hold his bottom. Finn runs away. Wakes Rowan up. I hear toilet lid. Rowan goes back to sleep again. Just about to lay him down and Finn stomps through again to tell me he pooped in his underwear. Wakes Rowan up. Rowan finally seems good and asleep so I lay him down. He cries as I'm leaving the room. I decide poop is more important. Poop everywhere. Quickly clean Finn up. Get R back to sleep.

They are both sleeping now and I'm having wine.

I think I have caught whatever the boys and H have. Ugh.
DS1 had a rough weekend, work is a break

@tifga I hope you get the referral you need and they figure out the issue with eggs.

RoLoMa I hope lo gets better soon!

Feel better soon salemkitty!

::hugs:: and wine all around 🍷

I am still sick. I have a bad cough and it's driving me crazy. Ugh. A seems better though, so that's good.

I'm covering for my coworker while she's out. She always complained about how much work she had and how difficult it was. It is not difficult and so far I've only spent 2-3 hours per day on her job. I'm still managing to do my own job too. I hope this can be the start of some changes in my office.

Thanks.
The Dr at the clinic said it's definitely an egg allergy and they gave me the name of a ped to call. So hopefully we can see him soon about her weight.

I'm sorry. FX the ped has some help for her weight
