This is my last Thursday of work until September. I'm just trying to survive these last few days. I'm going to be the little engine that could. I think I can, I think I can. And I'm not going to complain. It's almost over.
Just pulled into the airport for my girls trip, all the sudden feeling so nervous I could vom. I know he will be fine and I know I need this break but my babyyyyyy!
stinybean You can do it!!! And when this year is over, you'll remember how much it sucked but you stuck it out while rocking at being a new mom and made it through. You got this :thumbup:
@scoop and @imapenguin, pb on a spoon has been a big hit here, too. And it gets him to drink WCM!
My BFF was supposed to come over to go to the pool today but it's raining all day. Instead were going to Target, Home Goods, and lunch!
After the pool yesterday I went to put our stuff outside to dry and realized that my bottoms are worn through...like almost see through! So, I'll be getting a new swimsuit today.
Last day of the work week for me and I have Monday off as well. Looking forward to lounging by the IL's pool while they do baby detail. Also sleeping, because MIL insists that MM sleep in her room.
Now I just need to make it through work and the 5 hour drive to Georgia...
Last night I wanted to have dinner at this historic hotel that was converted into a restaurant - it's nothing fancy, mostly burgers/bar food, but their burgers are really good, and they have the best cheese bread. But H hates parking there, so we went somewhere else. I turn on the news this morning, and it burned down. WTF. It's sad, because not only did my town lose a historic building, but now I'll never get that cheese bread again.
I'm also discovering that while DD prefers to feed herself, she does not like to have her hands dirty. So this morning I put banana chunks on her fork and then let her use the fork and she loved it. Weirdo. Next thing I know she'l be eating a Snickers with a fork and knife.
Wally will sometimes get sick of feeding himself. So, if for example, we're eating pasta, he'll start feeding himself with his hands, and then stop eating. I'll put a piece of the same pasta from my plate on my fork, and he'll start gobbling it up again that way.
Also, slightly relevant anecdote - when my grandma was alive and would visit us from Germany, she would eat Whoppers from Burger King with a knife and fork.
I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon today to check on my knee. I'm sitting here cross-legged with LO and it hurts, so I know something is wrong. I just pray it doesn't need surgery!
Oh, and LO learned how to climb on her box of Legos and onto the coffee table. That's two pieces of furniture she can now scale.

HOW AND WHAT.
True story. She was very proper and old-school German, so I'm surprised we even convinced her to eat a hamburger to begin with. She would pull it out of the box, and then just start cutting it up, like that's how you're naturally supposed to eat a burger. I don't have a ton of memories of her, but this is one of my fondest ones
Good luck today budders and V! Sounds like he is in good spirits
I am feeling a little stabbity this morning. Everyone but 2 people have cancelled on me for M's bday playdate tomorrow. It's supposed to be held at a park, so I'm sure heat was the reason. Insert annoyed face here.
I'm sorry, that would make me stabby, too. Do those parents only let their kids out of the house like, three weeks of the year, when it's 70 degrees and sunny? I hope M still has a great time at the park tomorrow for her birthday playdate with the remaining kids!
ashbash have so much fun! I just had my first night away from DD last weekend, and am having my first trip away next month!
Yesterday we played outside all afternoon. Had the kids in the paddle pool and sprinkler and stuff so they were all wet. I noticed DS had wandered into the garage and he was walking a little hunched over back and forth so I thought he was hurt. I went in to check on him and ask if he was ok and his response was "mom I'm making paw prints!!!"

Although J loves to be dirty, she has recently been really interested in my fork at meals, so yesterday I gave her her own utensils and she did a decent job trying use them!
This week is going by fast! H is home with the kids today and will be home for dinner tonight after working late all week. Looking forward to having dinner together and some drinks after the kids go to bed!
So yesterday my in laws were watching the kids at my house. When I got home from work, LO excitedly crawled toward me and hugged me and then immediately turned to my in laws, waved and said "bye bye". We all burst out laughing, but how cute is that? He's like, "ok, my mom is home now, peace out homies"
DH and I got a notice yesterday that someone in Miami tried using our CC number to buy gas. We got everything straightened out with the CC company but now it means Cole and I are stuck at home today until our new cards are delivered because I have to sign for it.
Just spotted one of my favorite airport creatures, a middle aged woman in tropical attire drinking a marg at 10:30 in the morning. I see you Sharon - your vaca starts NOW
My BFF canceled hanging out today because "she's not a morning person." She was supposed to get here around 11 which is when she texted me to see if we could hang out next week instead. I'm trying super hard not to be furious with her. I feel like I should have known better than to think she'd be able to get it together to come over that early in the day. It's times like these that I'm very glad she and her H aren't planning on having kids. So, O and I are still going to go to Target but alone. At least he's cute.
H just arrived back in Los Angeles from NY and he's renting the moving truck today and starting the big drive up! I'm so excited! DS is bummed because he really wants to drive the truck #toddlerdreams
My brother and his wife are staying with us until Sunday. We are heading out for breakfast in an hour then I'll take them to a park w a view of the lake. I'm hoping the weather cooperates. It looks cloudy. I love the breakfast place we are going to because they have a toy corner where kids can just sit and play. I can eat a meal in peace.
