So I'm sitting in the car letting the kid sleep until we absolutely have to go into swim class. We had a decent night all things considered, up at 11, 3 then 5 and 6:30 but they were easy wake ups and I feel better for having more than only 2 hrs in a row. After swim he normally sleeps quite a while so I think I'll go get my pumpkins then. All our plans for the weekend fell through so maybe tomorrow we can get some yard work done if the rain ever stops.

We were going to go to the aquarium in the city today, but it's going to be nuts because of the World Series. So we're hanging out around here instead.
The consulting job I'm doing just sent out an email to the entire team and basically said "Thanks for the last 30 hours you put into writing stuff, but we didn't plan well and didn't meet with our clients beforehand. They actually need something entirely different." I'm so annoyed. We're not getting paid double for redoing everything. So now I have to spend some time today beginning to redo everything.

That sucks rivers and roads! Hope rewriting doesn't take you too long.
My MIL is coming over today to take on the majority of kid duty so DH and I can finally unpack our garage from when we moved in. I'm hoping we get it done at least enough for us to start parking in there. Unless we're too tired from that, we'll probably grill and carve pumpkins this evening.
I'm busy cleaning the house and checking things off the to-do list today. Then tonight my dad and his wife are coming to babysit and spend the night. My H and I are going to a fancy French restaurant in the city as a late anniversary celebration. It'll be the first time I've gotten dolled up in a looooooong time.
In baby news, this kid is doing his very best to help me babyproof. I swear, at least once an hour, every day, he makes a beeline for another thing I hadn't thought about yet and need to fix/babyproof. The most recent discovery: his lamp is just close enough to the crib that if he stands up and reaches really far, he can touch it. So now I have to rearrange some things in his room. Sigh.

You guys. MH just took the baby to their first weekly swim class and I have at least an hour to myself! I rode my bike downtown and am currently getting a pedicure. I'm freaking giddy over this.

And something you can look forward to every week! That's awesome. Enjoy!

I just bought a stupid amount of Halloween chocolate for someone expecting 6 kids, also half of it has peanuts so Dh is going to get fat eating those onesZ

Morning! After my MOTN rant last night things didn't get much worse. She woke one more time and then this morning. She is snotty and drooly with a low fever. Unfortunately I have to work today so DH is the one that has to take care of her. I wish I could just snuggle her instead.

After 4 straight STTNs, DD was up a bunch last night. She has a bit of a cough which is probably a contributing factor. At least it is a weekend.
DH wanted to go out for lunch today, but since it is already 12:30 and we have been trying to convince the baby to take a nap for over an hour now, I don't think it is going to happen.
DS was up twice last night but one of them he was freaking the hell out crying hysterically for no apparent reason.
We anchored the bookcase today so I finally unpacked and moved the boxes I had blocking it.
DS appears to be nursing to sleep and H is snoring on the couch.
We just have laundry left to do this weekend. Since our washing machine is still broken I'm sending DS with H over to MIL's so I can have a few hours to myself for once. Oh and we have to meet up with a friend to return something.
Argh i just FREAKED out on SO. How do they not look around and see what needs to be done?!? I came out from a failed attempt at getting L to nap to him just sitting on his phone, with the house a disaster around him. He is literally incapable of cleaning when he's in charge of the kids. So I got up after less than 3 hours of sleep to clean and get dinner started for HIS brother to come tonight. And he still thinks there's time to sit and browse imgur or god knows what... GRRR. I made my point. He's folding laundry. I'm drinking coffee and eating some Halloween candy and trying to get over it...

I've been trying to get DS down for a nap all afternoon. He's been up since 12:15. I finally gave up on the nap and we're now on a bedtime attempt (it's almost 6 pm) but he's just in there alternating between crying and babbling away while spinning around in circles in his crib. He's so overtired it's not even funny.
Kid has taken shit naps today. 2 half hour naps. When he normally needs about 3 hours total to not be a total disaster for bedtime. And my dad is watching him tonight. Sorry, dad. I tried. Good luck! *runs out the door*
Also part of the shit nap club today. She slept maybe 20 mins this morning around 9, then nothing until 345. And now she's still sleeping. No clue what this means for tonight. But since she doesn't sleep anyways I guess it doesn't really matter...

Joining the no nap club. A 30 minute nap and a 20 minute nap. He's like a zombie. Spaced out and quiet. Just sleep, child. Please. I anticipate this is bad news for sleep tonight too.

We actually had decent naps today. He was out for 90 minutes after swim then about an hour later. Bedtime should be at 7 but I think might be closer to 8

I just feel like a disaster. DS has been so awful this week and it's making me so depressed. And fighting with SO made it worse. And then right after L fell asleep, she coughed, choked, and threw up ALL OVER EVERYTHING. Soaked through her sleep sack and sleeper, so had to take everything off. Including her brace that she hates. And put it back on which made her MAD. And change our sheets. And then get her down again and then shower. I just want to sit and cry. But I know that it's not all that bad, could definitely be worse. So maybe it's hormonal. But ugh... can't shake this feeling
Sorry for the tough day leahks77 😩 I hope you all get some good rest and have a good day tomorrow to make up for it! My DS has been kind of crazy the last week or so again too. I lose my patience all too quickly these days and it bothers me. I hate this stage!
As for me, I can't breathe out of my nose so that's fun. Not. I was kind of sinus-y this morning and it's just gotten progressively worse throughout the day. DD seems to have gotten better throughout the day. She slept good last night so I'm hoping for a repeat tonight. She hasn't drained like she did yesterday, just sounds stuffy but I've salined and sucked and can't get anything out.
DS had his first cousin sleepover at MIL's last night and we've been over there much of today as well. So he's beat. He and my nephew (they are 5 months apart) have been running around crazy for 2 days. I hope we can have a mellow day tomorrow.
And I haven't even put my kids in their costumes yet! Or carved open a pumpkin! I need to get on that.
chocolate thank you and I'm sorry you're in the same 3yo boat... I feel the same way. He's being a turd but my reaction is what's making me depressed. I lose my patience and snap way more than ever before. And then I feel awful. Ugh. It's a hard hard phase.
So we went to this fancy French restaurant, MIL'S treat. It was delicious. But let me just say, I don't have a refined enough palate for fancy eating, lol. $200 for dinner is ridiculous, I'd rather eat chicken smothered with bad-for-me sauce anyway. Still, it was good and I'm stuffed.. and a little tipsy . Yay date night.
That sounds like a really rough time leahks77. It's okay to feel down about it all, that's a lot to be dealing with. I hope you're able to relax soon.
Thank you I'm having ice cream and a tiny glass of wine and going to bed. Enough about my bummer stuff though, how's your date night? Did you drink a delicious cocktail? Enjoying grown up time?

Good God. That is an expensive meal. So what did you eat?!
