I spent most of the weekend lying around trying to fight yet another virus. I really wish that I could've stayed in bed another day. Tomorrow FX I'm supposed to take my class on a field trip. It is supposed to rain though, so it might be canceled. I really hope the weather holds up because I really want to leave the building and well the kids do too.

budders you give me hope. We are exhausted here again. J didn't get to sleep until 130, was up every hour, and was up for the day at 6. I can't do this much longer. I'm getting my hair trimmed today, and maybe coloring it a different color again. Hopefully getting a nap in if I can.
Hubby starts his new job today!! Thus we start our new morning schedule. I've now been awake since 4 am because my body hates me and even though I could sleep till 5, it decided to wake up at 4. its going to be a LONG day!

I got 6 hours of sleep and we only had one wake up in the middle of it... SHABOOM! And Jazz went straight back to sleep after a quick bottle, which is ahhmazing compared to the last month-ish of multiple wakes and fighting back to sleep.
Its pushing 80 degrees today. Oh hey summer! I ♡ you. We're going to find somewhere to play outside with SIL and niece after morning nap.
This afternoon I hope to start working on bday stuff, and get some cabinet locks for the kitchen. I eat my words about not wanting them, even with nothing dangerous in the bottom cabinets I'm tired of them perpetually threatening to slam fingers. All she wants to do in the kitchen is bang on the oven, slam the cabinets open and shut, and explore the space behind the drier. So safe.

Good morning! I woke up and LBB was in our bed. Can't wait to hear the story behind thst one, but he's still asleep. We woke him up last night so he could see Mars but I don't think the two are related.

Woohoo for all the well-rested babies! Good luck today budders. Intervention programs are hard for outsiders to appreciate sometimes. I'm taking DD into the pediatrician this morning to have her rash looked at. I'm having a hard time believing we should continue her meds. Then we'll probably play outside later if she's up for it. Funny story- I was sorting through dirty laundry (just my H's and mine, as I wash DD's seperate) and found a bottle of gas drops (which are from the tiny newborn days) in the bottom of our laundry basket. We've definitely begun the phase of finding random things stashed in random places by a busy little toddler!

Did you actually see it? I looked, but I think it was either still too light out, or there's just too much city light around here.

We did. We woke him because we weren't sure if it would still be visible when he woke to go to the bathroom (original plan) because of the cloud cover.
Kids woke up in good moods and I made french toast and blueberries for breakfast so a nice start Its going to be hot today so Im thinking of taking them to a splash pad
Side note I think we are in the final days of nursing. Its so bittersweet. Im so exciting about the freedom since he never took a bottle and having my body back but the other side of course is one more part of babyhood that is over. He is our last thats part of it too. H snapped this picture this morning, everyday for nearly a year I have started out my day this way and now we will be finding a new normal.....
It's the holiday today. H has some meetings this morning so the kids and I are going to go to the farm. Dad's pretty busy with seeding right now if the weather stays ok today.
OK Monday so far. DS was in a mood, so it made getting out of the house difficult, but DD was her happy, cheerful self. Thankfully we have a somewhat light day today at work, so I can catch up on some things that didn't get done last week.
There are only 4 more Mondays this school year. There are only 20 more days this school year. That means only 20 more days of pumping. I've dropped 1 session per day. That means only 40 more times. This weekend was fantastic, lovely family time. It just makes me want summer. Also, it was 60 degrees yesterday, will be 70 today, then 80+s from Wednesday until September. Summer, summer, summer.
It's the first day of summer break and the fact that DS1 doesn't have school has me quite resentful of the fact that I still have to work. But it is tempered by the fact that P has slept 100% through the night for three nights in a row and I feel glorious.
Morning! We were up bright and early this morning, so we've already had a trip to the aquarium. Also already had a mini meltdown at the aquarium after DS decided waiting to do one mid-day nap wasn't going to cut it. Apparently looking at fish is exhausting, although it was amazing to watch. I've always called him my little observer because of the way he just soaks in his environment, and you could literally see him processing everything there. Rest of the day should be pretty low-key, maybe going to margaritaville, and spending some more time swimming
Good morning everyone! Haven't been on in a while as I've been furnishing and organizing our downstairs and it's been extremely time consuming! Add a teething baby and I've had zero down time. Today we are going to look at an option for 1 year pictures. It's a rose garden and I'm so excited because it should be beautiful! It's so bittersweet because as excited as I am for her birthday, I can't help but get a little choked up. Last night as I was nursing DD to sleep, I was actually crying because I cannot believe my little baby is almost 11 months. Where did the time go?!

ashbash, Love that photo! I weaned DD1 around this age and it was way more emotional than I'd anticipated. So bittersweet.
I didn't even realize that it was Monday because it's a long weekend here. Also, day 8 of no DH so it's all just a blur! Another rainy day here, but we WILL get out of the house. We all desperately need it!
ashbash - we are winding down on nursing too and I'm definitely getting kind of sad, but I think most of my sadness stems from how much less convenient it will be to actually have to make sure I pack food all the time...
Morning Ladies! Hope everyone had a great weekend.
G's first sleepover at my mom's house went well! H and I went shopping a bit, grabbed drinks, and then a late movie and got some good uninterrupted sleep!
We also started making headway on updating our second bathroom. H pulled out the linoleum flooring and re-texturized the walls. We bought a new vanity and are all set to start painting today when we get off of work. And we're going to do the new flooring this weekend.
I know it's only Monday, but I'm really looking forward to the long weekend with no social plans so we can get the house cleaned and knock some projects off of our list!
Also haven't been to a dermatologist since I was a child and had skin issues. Just sitting over here telling myself all my freckles look normal.
Yep. Since having the kids all that stuff has gotten pushed to the bottom of my priorities. In August when they go to school I have to go to the derm, dentist, obgyn, and eye dr!

Good morning! We had a crazy thunderstorm last night here which was awesome to watch. I just planted the vegetable garden, so the timing was perfect. Holiday Monday here today and H took the baby this morning so I got to sleep in until 9:30! Planning on decluttering the house today, these kids have so much stuff to donate.
Glad everything was good @scoop! Visiting my mom this weekend was great. E slept most of the time in the car. We went out to eat for my mom's birthday dinner and it was the cutest thing watching how well behaved he was and how much he ate. Even more so because we are still struggling with getting him to take interest in table foods. Today, baby permitting, I'm going to try sorting through his clothing by size and season, then do laundry for everybody. It's rainy today so we aren't missing anything fun.

Funny you bring up the skin check, I have a doctor appt with my GP this Friday for a physical and to do a mole check, but should I make an appt with a derm instead?
All clear and super surprised about it. My mom had melanoma and I spent my summers in Arizona as a teenager. Glad it's done and breathing a big sigh of relief.
Treating myself to an iced mocha as a reward for following through with the appointment despite my anxiety about it.
My mom had melanoma too. My dermatologist told me that it's not genetically inherited even if you have similar skin types they haven't found a connection within families that it makes you more likely etc. though I still get checked frequently too because I'm scared.
