Random thoughts go here!

What happens when H is in charge of the nightly routine? Adorable bed head.

[jellykat2]

sweetsurprise - seriously, he's such a cutie!!

[sweetsurprise]

Lol. I promise I'm not trying to be an AW. I just was amazed that H didn't realize that brushing hair is a thing.

[jellykat2]

I stayed up last night reading. Between school and having dd, I haven't read a book in at least 3 years.

Today will be filled with errands. I have some paperwork for daycare and my job, then the grocery store. Hope everyone had a good Thursday! It's almost the weekend

Haha. Sounds like a man thing to do. DH and I were just talking about how weird it's going to be when dd has enough hair to do.

That's awesome. Which book? I'm in the same boat. I love reading but it's been on the back burner since it's impossible to do while DS is awake.

sweetsurprise, he is adorable!!

[jeniece47]

sweetsurprise never worry about being an AW. He is adorable!

[staryb]

sweetsurprise, so cute! I actually love it when their hair gets messy, it's adorable. Sometimes I mess up my kid's hair just for fun, she gets kind of pissed though lol

jellykat2, glad you're getting to read again. I'm the same, used to read all the time but hardly do at all anymore. Maybe I'll take a book to the beach next week.

We haven't brushed C's hair yet. He has none.

I want to go back to bed! I managed to shower and get dressed and made it into work, but I don't know that I am capable of much more.

DD woke up a few times last night crying. Not an I am hungry cry, but full on tears. She would not take Tylenol. Each time I was able to rock her back to sleep. She was up at 4:45AM again. Between that and H's snoring lately, I am not getting much sleep. H promised to take all wake ups tonight and I am going to sleep in the guest room to catch up on sleep.

On a positive note, I am doing so well with healthier eating and the scale is showing good numbers! I am feeling pretty good about this!

[staryb]

We toured a daycare this morning. DH specifically wanted to go but then was grouchy that it was making him late for work. Oh well. He did say he was glad he went though. In any case we liked it there, everyone seemed really nice and DD wanted to play with all of the toys and other kids there in the worst way so I think she'll enjoy it. We still have one more to check out but I'm kind of hoping we stick with this first place. They have room for her if we wanted to start her immediately so I may be able to start working more sooner than planned, which would really help with our saving/debt paying goals. All and all I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Ours has very little, except a few dozen longer ones on top that I like to brush, but it's totally unnecessary. DH had tons of hair as a baby and I had almost none, but the strange thing is people often think DS is a girl out in public. People are weird.

I decided I'd start with a quick read. So I went with a Nicolas Sparks book. I'm a sucker for a good romance. Nights in Rodanthe. It was all it promised to be and made me cry. I finished it in two nights.

Now I have to decide what to read next. Unfortunately I packed most of my books when we decluttered our bookshelf recently. I was all, oh I haven't read in forever so no big deal. Now I'm wishing I hadn't packed all of my Jodi Picoult books away.

I hate when they wake up like that poor baby. Sorry your struggling with functioning today.

But yay for doing well with healthy eating. Great job! I'm feeling really good too. I had a moment of screw this I'm having all the sweets for breakfast this morning. Then I got on the scale and felt really good about myself and decided I would stick with being healthy.

[kellrr]

sweetsurprise so sweet!
jellykat2 I joined a book club in April thinking I'd never get through them, but I try to get e-books so I can read anywhere and can get in a few pages while DS feeds or plays. I can't believe how much I've read! I just finished the 100 year old man who climbed out a window and disappeared and I really liked it!
MrsTinMKE sorry you're not getting sleep! But yay getting skinny!
staryb exciting! I'm nervous about doing daycare mostly because I want DS to do well. I have some trainings I want to go to in August that SIL can't cover during the day, so I'm going to have to venture out.

I'm so happy you found something you liked and felt comfortable with! It's such a relief to find something you're comfortable with. When do you your the other center?

Yay for the eating well! I'm doing pretty well also and am down. Which is exciting!!

[happyin14]

staryb - yay for daycare. I always feel like you hit a moment when you just know. The vibe feels good, the teachers feel right. It just fits.

Good morning! I'm not as sore as I thought I would be, but I had the deepest hard sleep in a long time! Until DH woke me up to take care of DS. Thanks for all the encouragement for my race! It felt great to do that after being out of shape for so long. Also, the race was at a reservoir near the mountains, so after the race, DH, DS, my mom, and I hung out for about an hour eating pizza and drinking a beer and watching the sunset. There was a breeze coming off the water. I didn't want to leave!
Today we are doing story time and then SIL and my brother are taking DS to the pool while I work. I don't really have much work and I kind of want to ditch and go with them. I still might.

I miss reading books SO MUCH. I have to read so many scripts for work, I never get to read for fun.

I've been like 1/4 through Olive Kitteridge for like a year.

[maggie6424]

Speaking of tours, I'm touring preschools for ds1 starting tomorrow. I hate how fast they grow up! Haven't looked for a daycare for A, just to get him some interaction with other babes. I keep trying new recipes I find on pinterest, and whatsupmoms on YouTube. But they NEVER turn out like they should.
