What's up, Sunday?

[jessila]

I love my Roomba. We got it for Christmas when I was pregnant. Our house is one level so it's quite convenient. My only complaint is that it doesn't stop running if it's full. We need to run it more often but it's nice that my house vacuums itself.
Eta we have a mix of hardwood and carpet. It does a good job on both. It's much more thorough than I am as a vacuumer. I'm going to go start it in the nursery before naptime! Thanks for the reminder.

So my stomach hurts now. I'm telling myself it's because I've been worrying about DS being sick all weekend, and not because I caught his stomach bug.

Making cinnamon rolls right now. Thankfully S is feeling better! Just hanging around the house today. Need to get laundry done now that I don't have a baby hanging all over me constantly!

We may be going to church this morning. My SD is here for the weekend and H is off work. I'm super tired though...a squirmy, non-sleeping baby is wearing me out. We had a tough week last week. T was running a low-grade fever (99ish) for two days, then it hopped up to 100.5 and then 101.2 the next day. Took her in and it's just viral...lungs, ears, nose, etc are all clear thank goodness. The doc said there's some virus going around that has kiddos running a temp for 3-4 days, then they will break out for a day or two, then they're fine. T broke out Friday and yesterday, so hopefully we are on the downside of this mess. Oh, he also said her top teeth are about to come in...so let's add teething to the mix.

In more exciting news, it's our last week of school!! Only 4.5 more days with students. I absolutely cannot wait!!!

We have an busy day today. Church and lunch for B's baptism and then yard work. DH has to the cut the lawn but I have to start making the yard decent for B's birthday. I have nothing done for her party and its only 3 weeks away. Have a great day ladies!

Morning. I woke up with a sinus headache and then fell down the last four stairs on my way downstairs. I'm okay aside from a rug burn on my arm, but man, what a start to Sunday.

We have lo's cake smash shoot this afternoon and I have so much cleaning to get done. Our laundry is over flowing!

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon.

I'm also working on a mountain of laundry today. I got halfway through last night and need to finish the rest today. It's cold here today so just church and after I'll make a big batch of pancakes for lunch. Enjoy the rest of your weekends ladies!

erbear, falling down the stairs is the worst. I've done that a couple of times and it always shakes you a bit. Glad to hear it wasn't worse!

[billyhorrible]

The kids are going to be a mess today. Both went to bed around 10:30 last night, and as usual that didn't change their wakeup time this morning.

About to take LBB for a run, and meeting friends at the beach for lunch. The rest of the day will be working around the house, getting ready for the week.

Hi!!

Yesterday was very productive. I got the holes dug for the trees, flowers repotted, H got the firepit set together (minus one chair as they sent one wrong part) and the wood around the existing deck sanded. Today I need to plant trees, get the flowers out of the garage, and we would love to paint if we can keep our kids out of it lol!

@wwprestige We have a Roomba, we got it for a gift a few years ago. Our basement is carpeted so we just leave it down there. We had it set on a timer for awhile so every Thursday night it would go out and clean. It seems like it works well, it definitely picks a bunch up!

[pghtruelove]

We are getting a Roomba for our new place and I'm super pumped.

Our apartment is a disaster and we have a week left to pack it up but Jules won't sleep at night and wants to be held during the day. So neither of us are getting any sleep and only one person can do something at a time. I don't know what we are going to do.

[prettymama36]

Everyone is having productive plans today! I also need to clean but instead we are heading to the mall for shopping and lunch. It's freezing here this weekend, so no outdoor work got done. Other than that, dance festival continues for the girls this evening.
Anyone thinking of getting a roomba, Canadian Costco has them for $100 off next week. I'm planning to pick one up then. Glad to hear you all like yours.

[wegrowsheep]

Currently in bed listening to T make tractor noises in his sleep..
After a super-busy yesterday that included my brother, his wife, and all 5 kids hanging out at my parents' house with us, I'm ready for some downtime and a run after church. But first, a shower. And waffles!

[shahoi]

@wwprestige we just got our Roomba. I really like it so far and feel like it cleans well. We have only used it in the rooms that have hard floors (and area rugs) so far. I'm hesitant to let it go while we aren't home though because the 1st time I did it, it was stuck when I got home. I have no idea how long the motor continued to run once it got stuck. It was lodged under the couch?

[wegrowsheep]

My new boots arrived yesterday! So very pretty, but I will need to have the calves stretched, as they are quite snug. BUT SO PRETTY.

[Bluedaisy]

Starbucks run today...how can a city of 100thou have only one Starbucks? Then some errands, visiting a friend and then back to the in-laws for a huge family supper. I hope my kid has good naps today.

[wegrowsheep]

@babybean9 4 degrees sounds miserable.. It's cooled off here some since Friday (it was 80) but this has been an unseasonably warm dry spring for us. Only 2 inches of rain since April 1st!

[prettymama36]

I want to see your boots wegrowsheep!!

[Bluedaisy]

Those are gorgeous wegrowsheep! My sister has very similar ones but purple instead of blue.

[prettymama36]

Love that color wegrowsheep!!

[mrsmonogrammed]

Love!! wegrowsheep

I'm crossing off come crafting projects off the list today, my mom is on her way over to help out. I'm putting the backing on the china cabinet I've been telling you guys about and then it will finally be finished!!

I managed to sing at church this morning. I thought I was going to faint a couple of times but held it together. It feels like an achievement in the circumstances.

This afternoon H has a rehearsal all afternoon. I'd arranged to spend the time with one of my best friends and her family. She's one of the few people in RL who knows what's going on. L went to sleep on the way home from church and miraculously tolerated being moved to her cot, so I relaxed and enjoyed luch for half an hour. Which is just as well as she woke up screaming. Painkiller put her to sleep, she woke up on her own but wouldn't do anything except scream for forty minutes until she fell asleep again, and that was an hour ago. H will be back in a bit more than half an hour. L hasn't had any lunch so if she does wake up pain free, she'll be frantic with hunger since it's gone four o'clock.

Not the best Sunday ever, especially when I'm already miserable and in pain.

[heartofglass]

@scoop we're in the same boat. In fact, A has been waking up even earlier, around 5.....Ive been trying to keep him up later at night, but he just melts down so it's not been going well.

Love the boots wegrowsheep!

We've started packing this weekend and it's just hell. How do two people accumulate so much crap over the years?

Two questions:
1)Has anyone donated BM? I've got a bunch in the freezer that we're not going to be able to transport.
2)Does anyone sign with their LO?

[heartofglass]

So sorry purple. I'm glad you were able to sing today though.

[Bluedaisy]

heartofglass I sign with lo

How did you start? I realize we're super late at 11 months, but I just want to do some simple signs with him. Biting me to let me know he's hungry is not working....

[Bluedaisy]

We started at six months with a class jut generally it's easiest to start by adding one or two signs a week. I'd start with something easy and concrete like milk or cereal. Food works great but really anything you can name is good. I never remembered to do milk because we always called it bottle but cereal and yogurt, mom and dad were super easy to remember.

We just do the basics and I sign as I say them. (More, all done, eat, milk, please, thank you, help). He only signs back with all done and milk.

This is really all I'm looking to achieve. I just want some way to communicate because all he says is 'dada' for everything. I've started signing milk while nursing so we'll see how it goes.
