The termite swarms started last night, so for the next week or so we get to sit around in the dark and pretend we're in an air raid so the damn termites don't crawl through every unsealed area around our doors and windows and take over the house. Taking the dogs out is really fun, too.
Kristykristyleelee very attracted to light, so they form what basically amounts to a dense fog of flying termites around any light source and blanket your windows. If you go outside, they get stuck all over you and in your clothes. It is the stuff of nightmares.

budders, I used to always have insomnia the night before heading back to school after break. Congrats on dropping the pumping though! I can imagine how great that must feel.
And Happy Teacher Appreciation week to all the teachers here! You guys are the best
purple, hope LOs mood improves today and you are able to have a relaxing day together.
My sister drama continues, but I don't wanna burden the board with all the nonsense again. Hopefully things will work out, somehow, soon. Thanks again for everyone's comments though, it made me feel a whole lot better.
So I woke up this morning thinking that G slept through the night. I checked my fit bit and it showed 0 times awake, 5 times restless, and I couldn't remember feeding her. I even texted my mom a little celebration. But H just informed me that I did feed her once LOL. I guess I was just so tired from getting in late last night. It must have been so short that my fitbit only counted it as restless.
I got the target beauty box email this morning and went to go order one for me and one to send H's sister for her birthday. Already sold out! That was a fast one! Also, are they getting more expensive every time?

They are, which was why I skipped this one. There wasn't anything in there worth $10 imo.

I think it just depends on how expensive the products included are. The $5 box a couple months ago was $24 value, the $10 box this time was $47. I hope they don't make the higher cost a regular thing.
Kristykristyleelee I feel the same way with Cooper! In the past week or so he started babbling new sounds, walking 5/6 steps at a time, clapping and saying "fffaaaahhh" while pointing to the fan
Its so crazy how fast they can change! Mix all that with this song and video that popped up on my fb called "stay here" my Nichole Nordemon and Ive been a weepy mess all morning.
gilder40 I'm doing Star Wars lessons because Wednesday is May the 4 and realized T will be ONE ON WEDNESDAY!!! I'm sure that you didn't need that reminder.
How is it May already? That means we'll all have 1yos soon.
H and I might be buying my MIL's suv from her for me as a babymobile. I've got mixed feels. It's a 2009 Lexus RX350. It's in great condition and is about to hit 100,000 miles. They easily can go to 200k miles. When talking about getting me a new car it was going to be a few years from now. I know the SUV will have so much more space and is ridiculously comfortable to drive and be in. But I wanted to choose my next car. #firstworldproblems

I KNOW! I'm excited yet wailing inside. How is it May? How is she one?!
We were totally going to do a Star Wars theme, but I want to do it a little later when she can enjoy all the cool ideas I found. She's too little for a piñata Death Star
I'm up with V, in about 2 hours we'll be up for the day, getting ready to return to work. Ugh. I've had a very weird night of sleep because of it; always a strange anxiety returning to school after a break. Does that happen to anyone else?
Yes. I always have anxiety about going back after a break. It's the worst after Christmas. I feel like we are just thrown back in with no chance to get prepared for the week. I stress I'll oversleep, and I usually can't sleep because I've been staying up all week. Also, the kids are usually out of their routine and it takes a little bit to get them back in the swing of things.
Those of you weaning during the day, are you supplementing with milk or formula or frozen BM? I still nurse her 2-3x during the day and she still has 2 bottles while I'm at work. I only have 16 more work days, though, so I'll keep pumping until the end...
I recently went through this transition with T when her pediatrician gave me the okay. I just started pumping less and less, and I would add regular milk to her BM bottle. I increased the milk and decreased the BM over the course of about two weeks. Now she's just taking cow's milk during the day.
budders I saw this in on sale on Amazon, if you wanted it for your Chalkboard theme Chalkboard Paper
Love! Maybe I can make a drawing station for the kids who come. Or a backdrop for his high chair.
I'm definitely not getting any more work done today.
I somehow missed you were doing a chalkboard theme! I write chalkboard stuff for my school for meeting and presentations. Holler if you need any help with anything. Not sure how I could help, but I'm willing. Lol.
T fell this weekend and bonked her head pretty good. She was standing and went to sit down (basically she just collapses onto her bottom) and she landed on H's foot. It threw her off balance and she fell forward. She's got a nice bruise above her eye.
Only three weeks left of school for us, there was breakfast in the lounge for teacher appreciation, and one of my sweet, albeit, LOUD kiddos is absent today. I consider Monday a win.

So as of this week, M hates taking baths, which is frustrating, because he used to love it. I think water may have gotten in his eyes last week, and since then he wails after a few minutes. Any suggestions on making it fun again?

+1 Except my problem bath taker is almost 3. LO is still okay with baths for the most part.

I have to tell you guys this since I told you I was going to visit my grandma with dementia. One of the other residents there (also demented) asked what DD's name is. When I told her, she responded "Well she'll be well suited for a future career with that name... If she wants to be a stripper!". Omg I'm dying laughing. The demented truly have no filter. DD's name, you ask? Mad.ilyn Ma.e (pretty non-stripperish in my opinion).

DS1 had trouble with bath for a little bit. I got him a light up rubber duck which turned out to be a good distraction. The anti-bath issue didn't last very long, hopefully it will be over quick for you too!
Something bit my neck a few days ago, perhaps a spider? I didn't even notice it, but yesterday DS did. He was like "mom, what is that red thing on your neck?" Now today I feel like the bite is getting painful and my neck is getting sore. What. The. Fuck.
Keeping DD from getting bruises on her face for this week before her pictures is becoming challenging since a she's decided to climb up on and then dive off of everything in sight.
I've accepted that DD is just going to have a perma bruise or scrape on her face. Every time one clears up a new one finds it way there!

We went through a brief anti-bath spell too after I'm pretty sure I got some shampoo in his eyes. H demonstrated to DS how fun it is to splash in the tub and get mommy soaked - so upside, DS loves his baths again, downside, I'm sopping wet when I'm done washing him. I also got out one of the rinsers we had I hadn't previously used and just started being extra careful trying not to get anything in the eyes again. Hope it passes soon for you!
