We are finally getting our blinds installed today. Hell yeah for the crappy paper blinds to be gone! Also meeting with a dog trainer today. Hopefully my dogs will stop being assholes sometime. ;-)
I just got back from our pre-drywall walk-through of our house! It looks so good, and they're keeping pretty well on schedule - closing date right now is 9/8! These next 8 weeks need to go fast so I can move in already, especially since in about four weeks I'll be homeless and moving in with my parents :/
Yay budders, I'm so glad you guys got an electrician to finish that for you!
carrots, S is doing good on a cot at school too. I'm so surprised she stays there. And, she sleeps SO much better now that she's out of the pack n play.
I woke up before the kids this morning and went for a run... primarily because I was excited that DH fixed the GPS function on my phone and that I could track my runs again. Paused workout 13 seconds in and didn't realize until I got home.
Also, we went to SIL's house this weekend and like clockwork, B is now sick again. 9/10 times we visit, she gets a cold.

Lots of positive in here today! DD fell back asleep in bed with me until 8:30 after waking at 6. Yes, please. We're about to head to a play date with one of my BFFs. Should be fun!

Good morning! My nanny baby is back after a week off because her family was in town for her birthday. I don't know why but I have been very surprised by the explosion skills like RIGHT at the 1 year mark. My LO went from adorable infant to "teriffic" two's (yes, skipping a while year).
It's been fun to experience, at the same time I feel like I'm President Fitz's chief of staff trying to get my child to do the right thing but he has more power than me and does what he wants. It's exhausting. Diaper changes are pure torture (for both of us).
@cartots and alayne926 and anyone else- are your LO's eating at a table in a tiny chair? I'm trying to figure out when to make the switch. Maybe just with snack for now.
jillywilly and budders so glad there are some positives going on for you guys at the new houses! FX things continue to run smoothly.
sugarkissed we just got over a cold here too...I'm sorry B is sick! I feel like summer colds suck so much more than winter ones. Hope it runs its course quickly and A doesn't catch it!
Trying to get stuff done today; we'll see if H cooperates. I need to call the realtor and mortgage agent back, plus I really want to spend some time prepping for my "interview" at school tomorrow. It's 99% a formality since they can't legally just turn a vacancy over to the LTS and my principal already told me the job is mine, but I'm still containing my enthusiasm until it's official. You never know when the superintendent's long-lost niece or someone will swoop in for the perfect job lol. MIL is coming to visit H this afternoon, so hopefully that will give me some extra time.
Ugh...pretty sure my kids and DH have decided to share their colds with me...I am progressively feeling worse throughout the morning. It's going to be a long day.
Happy Wednesday! I forgot what day it was last night, and said to DH "Well, at least Monday is over now." He just looked at me and said "and Tuesday, too." Haha... At least I feel like the week is moving faster now! We have errands today and small group this evening. I may try bringing E to play at the mall beforehand so he will sleep through.
Morning ladies! mrsmonogrammed, tiffbot are all three of us taking flights tomorrow morning? That's kind of crazy!
I've been really anxious about remembering to bring everything on this trip, but today I'm kinda chill about it. I think I've gotten over the anxious hump and on to excitement train! This is going to be an exhausting trip with two little ones, but it's also going to be awesome and worth all the memories.
My body schedule is a mess this week. Today I woke up at 6 and I'm just being quiet in the hotel room until 8ish to wake H. Top Golf was fun last night. I was terrible. H, as always, found his athletic stride and beat everyone else by at least 20 points. Tonight we're going out for some absurdly priced steak. I might go back to the pool during the day if my sunburn is less painful. And I think we're exploring Mandalay Bay and the aquarium. We skyped with O last night. He keeps asking for Carl in the morning. He isn't sure how he feels about us being in the screen but is thrilled whenever I sing him 'Open, Shut Them.'
tiffbot, enjoy your trip!! Vacation sans child(ren) is a beautiful thing.
budders, add me to the relieved group about the electrician. Yay! Functional house!
littlemissgrump, love the Scandal reference! And I know the feeling, trying to keep a mobile child from killing themselves with basically zero oral language skills is a lot of work.
jillywilly, so excited for you. I remember those weeks dragging but it was so exciting to move in. Now it's already been three years!

We had a really bad night, and T tried to wake up at 6am, but I shut that down and he is still sleeping on my arm. My big kids are roaming free in the house. I stayed up late watching HP 6 (Parenting-inspired), drinking wine, and coloring. I forgot to shower, and now I'm trying to figure out the chances of getting it done quick after T wakes up. And then off to another day in the blueberry field.
Baby woke up with no fever, slept till six AND is down for a nap! Oh and DH made waffles for breakfast. Today is starting out as a win! Ordered the last pictures I need to put up the wall clock of LO so if they are ready today there will be a Costco run which will involve ice cream!
wegrowsheep, ooh I didn't know they made a calendar. Did you see that they've made a Thomas Kinkade colouring book? I love his work but don't think it would work well without the watercolors.

jessila your life right now sounds like a dream glad you are enjoying yourself! Mandalay Bay is pretty cool...DH was pissed that the shark exhibit was closed when we were there so lmk how it is if you go!
