Last week of March Chat

[penguin129]

It is going to be April! How did that happen so fast?! What's going on with you all this week?

[penguin129]

We have to pay our last month of rent on the townhouse this week. I hope to have everything moved out of there by the end of this coming weekend. I've had power and water on in both places for 2 weeks and am ready to cut everything off at the townhouse. We went FB public and announced baby 2 to the public Saturday night.

Omg penguin129 those pictures! I love them!

We spent the whole day at home today trying to detox from sugar and Easter shenanigans. The baby has started crawling and the big kids are so excited and also confused that he keeps getting to their stuff. I'm already feeling sad face he's not stationary anymore and I have to watch him closer.

ashiscute Thanks! The basket was DD's first Easter Basket. I took off the pink and white ribbon and added the yellow ribbons and lining. It was H's idea to do the bakset in color and me, in black and white. Yay for your mobile baby and LOL at the kids being confused.

penguin129 super cute pictures!

This is my husband's short week and it should be pretty low key. My goal is to hopefully get the house in a more organized state and then really work at keeping it that way.

Very pretty penguin129.

Well, Easter at the ER because DH and the little one were fighting over whether he should eat a tree branch and LO ended up with a tree branch to the eye. Follow up appt today but seems no serious harm was done so just eye drops to prevent infection. Luckily DH handled both trips because I have the flu still. I'm feeling some better and DD seems over it, so preschool for her tomorrow, which will hopefully end our endless TV watching days. I think we exposed the whole gymnastics class to the flu last week, so I am dreading going on Wednesday, but I'll suck it up because the kids really need the exercise.

DS is not sick, so he's taken to entertaining himself by dumping out anything he can find, which includes trash, crumbs, and liquids...and mostly things are not cleaned up because I have been in bed and DH has had his hands full with the kids. So much cleaning to do tomorrow. I'm getting a baby-sitter for 2 hours, so that should help.

brachysira, sorry to hear about the stick incident. Glad it didn't cause lasting damage.

[penguin129]

brachysira I'm so glad your LO is ok. That is so scary. I hope the rest of you get well soon.

Week got off to a rough start. Now this weekend is apparently up in the air. Basically, who the heck knows what this week will look like at this point. My to do list doesn't appear remotely achievable though; I've already moved a few line items to next week's list. I just want to snuggle all day today with LO, but I know that won't be feasible.

Cute pics penguin129!

We got back from our DC/Baltimore trip Friday night. We had free tickets to the aquarium in Baltimore & were in DC for peak bloom of the cherry blossoms. It was surreal to say the least.❤

My mom's group is doing an outing to a baby dance/music class today so DD1 & I are going to that while my SIL watches DD2. It should be fun!

[vettymama]

Busy week again. Our school district carnival that is put on by the organization I'm president of is Friday. Hope it all goes well. DS1 woke up motn with a high fever and couldn't go back to sleep. And it's raining and just generally icky outside. Lots of coffee today.

[tincupchalice]

Busy week here. Spouses thing tomorrow, DH' has a work thing Friday night, Saturday is DS1's birthday party (omg already?!) and Sunday is a joint baby shower!

[younglove316]

It's supposed to be warm but rainy all day so I'm not sure what we will do and then it's supposed to get super cold again. I'm so sick of these drastic temperature changes lately, I just want some consistency haha

yea, we went back in 2013 & it was all under construction/barely anything open so felt like a brand new aquarium to us!

We live here and I can't wait to see the new exhibits. DD got an annual pass for Christmas so we are going whenever H has off since I hate going downtown alone.
So glad you had fun!

I cannot for the life of me get out of bed before 9am. I feel guilty hearing DD1 talking in her room but I'm too exhausted to get up. The baby has been sleeping 10/11pm-5/6am then sleeps for another 2-3 hours so I really have no excuse. My goal is to set my alarm every day next week so that I'm up before both girls are. I think it makes a difference in my day when I feel on top of everything instead of playing catch up.
I'll also have more time to be on here too
What time do you guys normally start your day?

I usually get up anywhere between 7 and 9:30, with the occasional sleep-in until 10. It is all over the board. I get up before LO if I happen to wake first, otherwise when he wakes. There is also the occasional case when I have to set an alarm to be up early for something, then I let him keep sleeping or get him up as applicable to the situation.

If you would feel good to get up earlier, go for it. If you would feel good to sleep more, then do that. There is no right or wrong, just do what works for you and your family.

No later than 730 as that's the latest DD1 will sleep. Some days lately though DD2 wants to start the day between 5-6.

5:30 every day. Unless on the off chance one of the boys is up before. I've always gotten up before 6:00. Blame it on my farming roots

whenever ds wakes up which is usually in between 645-715. Any later is borderline late for him to get ready/fed before the bus comes for school M-Th.

[penguin129]

mishy2010 Most times I wake up a 1/2 hour or so before DD. We sleep until 8-10 am depending on what the day was like before. It takes me about an hour or 2 to really get going once I'm up. I usually watch the news or GMA for an hour and then let DD watch TV for an hour before we start our day.

I'm so excited. We finally figured our money out and are looking for a second car. We've been a one car family since June. I can't wait to have a car back to drive. My goal is to pay for it cash outright. I found a car I want to look at and hope to go tonight with my H.
