C's party is this afternoon. So I'm up early getting stuff ready. Tenderloin is in the crockpot for pulled pork. Hanging decorations and putting up tables is next. But first, I am going to finish my cup of coffee while it's still warm. (No, not hot. I have to put an ice cube in it before I can take the first sip) Good luck to all the other birthday party throwers today!
The mini air conditioner is like a magic baby sleep machine!!!! No four am wake up and as soon as we put it on he was down for the count! I feel human again. Drinking iced coffee, planning to work around the house and scrapbook today. Happy party day to everyone who is smashing cake today!

Today is one of those days I have to remind myself, today is not forever. These 1 year shots coupled with teething are rough, my friends. Very rough. Happy party day, @sabrinami!
Happy party day to the babies smashing cake today! And hope the babies feel better, alayne926 and blueskiessmiling.
DS let us sleep in to 7 today, which was amazing. Now he's down for a morning nap, I've got my coffee, and there's a nice little summer storm raging outside my window. Life is good
I *think* I'm finally finished shopping for party stuff. Now I just hope and pray that everything comes together next week. I'm in nap jail now, but am getting ready to lay her down so I can clean and hopefully have time for a shower.

This HF&M is killing us over here. At this point sleep is a distant memory.
I spent all day yesterday out of town at a sorority reunion, so today I really need to get it into gear with cleaning, shopping, and party stuff for Saturday.
I am exhausted after yesterday's party. I did not sit, other than opening presents, for 5 hours. I need to clean up the house today and figure out a meal plan for this week. I go back to work tomorrow after 13 months off. I know it's something that I have to do, but it is making very emotional. I know B will do great at the sitter, I'm just anxious that it won't be me with her. This weekend has been very emotional.
alayne926 sorry about the ear infections again, I don't know anything about the tubes but if it's going to help I hope she can get them soon!
It's a chill, clean up, play with new toys kind of day around here. Im just feeling at peace with the world now, but did get a little emotional when I put the blanket back in the drawer that I took her monthly pictures with and it suddenly hit me I'm all done monthly pics for 2 kids now! How did that all happen so fast!
H, who has been very, very content with having 2 kids after initially wanting 3 like me, had a dream last night where I was about to give birth and he said the anxious feelings of boy/girl, what's their name, who are they, all came rushing back, and he told me he wants that feeling again in real life sometime. Something we're both not ready for this year, maybe not even next, but back on the same page again, so that makes me feel really happy too
The show last night was fantastic. It reminded me how much I've missed doing it for the last two years. Realistically, if we are lucky enough to have another baby, I won't be doing it next year either. Oh well, that's one of the things that happens when you have kids - you have to give other things up for a while :-)
Today has been lovely. A family of three boys, ages nine, seven and ten months, were baptised today and their parents threw an amazing party afterwards. We were there till nearly three o'clock! Then H took L for a walk.
Another busy week ahead, but next week is birthday week with a picnic party at the end!

So hot out, bleh. My tomato house is 100+, and I was in there for an hour or more. But the chores got done! DH grilled hotdogs at the main house and brought them to the greenhouse for us all the have a picnic. All 3 kids played in the wading pool while I worked. They aren't too bothered by the "stay out of the house" directive. Today's discovery: T likes Cheetos more than maple bars.
