So we woke up to an inch of snow and more falling. At the end of April. At least it's Friday...
I'm trying not to get twitchy about the fact that we haven't had any viewings of our house yet. I know we just need to be patient but I'm finding it hard! I keep reminding myself that it's only actually been on the market for eight days. It just feels like longer because of all the hassle with the surveyor. Oh well...
Baby playgroup soon, and then we're going to my parents' for lunch. I'm hoping to leave L there for a bit and come home alone!
Kristykristyleelee, much sympathy for the early start! Is A still poorly? I hope the traffic vanishes before your car, and that Starbucks is extra delicious this morning!

Kristykristyleelee that poor sweetheart! There is nothing worse than being woken up because you're itchy! I hope she feels better soon. And I hope caffeine flows nicely through your body today. Jules is not sleeping again so I just give up on even trying. I'm never going to sleep again. (I know I'm super dramatic) Need to pack today and get food for the pets in order for our trip to NoVA. Also need to go pick up stuff from my co-op. I always love doing that because I have no idea what's there!

DH always wakes up before me but NEVER EVER EVER takes the monitor with him when he goes down to his mancave. Today he took it with him!!! Granted he woke me up trying to unplug it from my side of the bed, but I pretended that I was still sleeping. I'll be oing back to sleep now, 'night!
Friday's are my day off with DS. Every Friday I still art my alarm and get up just before 6 to take my shower. But a big part of me thinks this is crazy and wants to sleep until DS wakes up. But then when do I shower? During nap time? I like that time to jump on chores for the weekend. Plus, it's nice being able to have a few minutes to sit now and have breakfast in peace. Except I now hear DS on the monitor talking to himself, at least I finished my oatmeal first!
H woke me up at 12:30 because the dog ate a wooden spoon. O had been playing with two and I left them on the ottoman thinking the dog knew they were for the baby. H is already working from home today so he can keep an eye on the dog. I'm hoping that it will just pass through and there won't be any stupidly expensive emergency surgery.
purple she woke up really really itchy - which is why I've been up. The poor hunnie just kept rubbing both her hands all over her head trying to itch herself. She was so frustrated and sad.
She's just settled down now and I'm rocking her. I could put her down but I'm not gonna go back to sleep myself since my alarm is going off in 45 minutes. Instead I'll start my day off with baby snuggles. We both need it!
Aww poor A! I hope you're enjoying your snuggles and she feels better soon.

We had a bad thunderstorm come through around midnight. Either lightening hit our house or a power surge happened and blew our thermostat. Fingers crossed its just the thermostat and not the AC unit. H is going to leave work after his first meeting and try to fix it be fore it gets too hot here today. We just can't win with this house. purple try not to get discouraged. Our house has been on the market for almost 2 months and we've only had 2 or 3 people show any interest and no offers

Poor A, Kristykristyleelee. I hope she feels better today and that you skip any horrendous traffic.
No advice but I hope you get some viewings of your house soon, purple.
My cousin and his wife who I used to be super close to just had a baby this past Tuesday. My sister is going up this weekend (they live in Maryland) to take newborn pics for them. I'm a little sad that I can't go but there's no way M could handle a 4 hour drive. He can barely handle 1 hour. Luckily I convinced her not to charge them, because family, and I'm sure they'll find a way to thank her, because that's the type of people they are.
I'm on day 5 of no carbs, wine, or chocolate diet. And, last night I dreamt I had diabetes and had to go on meds right away.
So turns out that for the daycare parents night out they couldn't get any of the infant teachers to sign up to work. I'm feeling weird about leaving W with people he (nor I) have met. Will probably rush through dinner and pick him up 30 minutes after daycare's normal closing time which isn't exactly worth the $20 I paid for him to attend but oh well. Feeling very FTM on this.
It is stressful when they don't know their personalities and routines.

Apparently my LO must have a secret stash of old dried up green peas in some only visible to a baby place, because this is the 4th time this morning she's crawled up to me doing the big league chew and I've scooped out a dried up pea. WTH woman?! Where are they coming from lol?!
Also, cute start to the day - when I went to get DS out of his crib earlier this morning, he had one pacifier in his mouth, and another in his hands, trying to somehow get it into his mouth also. He hardly ever uses them during the day, but I have a feeling we're screwed when it comes time to get him off the pacifier at night... he LOVES playing with them in his crib. Perhaps I should start trying to mitigate this by throwing some extra stuff in there? He has a lovey, but should I add a stuffed animal or blanket? We're hoping to pull the plug entirely on the pacifier not too long after his first birthday, and just get rid of them with his bottles.
Going to a wine festival this weekend. I'm terrified of getting a hangover I hate them so much and I get them so easily now. What's the best way to avoid? Probably carbs for supper before I go and then remember to have some water in there somewhere, right?! Lol should be fun though!
I'm so glad your going! I remember you mentioned wanting to go before. You'll love it, have fun!

Happy Friday everyone! Boring day planned here. I have my splurge club party tomorrow so cleaning most of the day. I still don't know what I'm doing for food! It's usually just appetizers and a desert but I wish I could order pizza and call it a day. I made sure to stock up on wine earlier in the week though, because priorities.

In between every glass of wine, have 2 glasses of water!

I have pulled dogfood out of BH's mouth 3 times this morning. The dog food is up on a counter so the last time I asked how he keeps getting it. LBB: I'm giving it to him!

Could you run to the store and buy a bunch of frozen appetizers and put them in the oven?

This is most likely my plan! There's a store here called M&M's and they have yummy apps like jalapeño poppers and bacon wrapped anything. The last party had homemade quesadillas and flatbread pizza, which was delicious. She set the bar too high. Lol. I had the best intentions of making all these Pinterest ideas. Oh well.

Morning everyone. No more puking here knock on wood, but we're back to the diarrhea and not finishing bottles. Good thing we already stocked up on pedialyte.
H has a half day today. He's going to run some errands then come home, so I won't be rushing out the door to get to work like I am most fridays.
@stinkybean michyme123 I feel like escape rooms would give me an anxiety attack! Are they really fun?
i feel major clauterphobia at times but it actually wasn't bad for me. You are never truly locked in, if you feel panicked you can leave. Go to the one near ikea ish (I forget the name off hand). They want you to succeed so you can have as many clues as you want basically. It's fun
I like that you can leave. I'd probably immediately ask for all the clues. Lol. Everyone I know who has gone, says it's a blast. Thanks for letting me know!
