THURSDAY!!

[tiffbot]

Because I'm never here early enough to start a randoms thread!

Sitting in an airport waiting to fly to wegrowsheep's and beersandweirs neck of the woods today with my sister! And off to sunny California tomorrow! I don't have a data plan for the States so won't be around much but hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

tiffbot, have a lovely holiday!

budders, good luck today.

Kristykristyleelee, sounds delicious, and I'm in awe of your organisation.

It's Thursday! That means that Laura went off with her Granny about an hour ago and I still have at least another hour. Last week I didn't get her back for nearly four hours. Of course, this week H is off work because he's ill, so I haven't got the bliss of having the house to myself. But it's still nice to have a chance to read and TCF uninterrupted. Housework, you say? No way. This is my relaxation time.

And we've booked a hotel for Saturday night. It's not too far away, and it has a swimming pool. L will be so excited about that! Now we just need H and I not to be feeling ill any more.

Good luck with the move today budders!

Those burritos sound delicious Kristykristyleelee, definitely want to try.

Have a great trip tiffbot.

Well, I feel like shit after drinking an entire bottle of wine/ but am still going to work. I see a Venti Starbucks in order. Now just to decide whether it'll be an Iced Coffee or Iced Latte.

Good luck moving today, budders! And have a lovely trip, tiffbot!

I'm having a significantly more boring Thursday than some of you, but I'm pretty ok with that. This week has been crazy busy between our buyers monkeying around with the final walk-through/closing date/time and H and I trying to get our shit into gear in figuring out which lender to use for the new mortgage. Also, work has been crazy. Between all that, I can't believe it's already Thursday! Getting through work, then the plan is to go out for dinner, and tomorrow we're closing on the house! It's so bittersweet to think about our house not really being "ours" anymore. We bought it just after we got married, so even though we lived together in the condo I bought before I met H for a couple years, this has been the first home that's really felt like "ours." And obviously it's the house we brought DS home to. But... onwards and upwards!

[ashbash]

Ive made those burritos in the past Kristykristyleelee but its been awhile, you have inspired me to make them again I already had egg muffins for the kids on my weekend list so Ill add this on!

[sabrinaml]

Good luck today budders!!!
Safe travels tiffbot!
Kristykristyleelee, looks like I have a new breakfast idea for DH!

Hoping for a calm and quiet Thursday. And that's off to a great start since it's almost 7:30 and C is still asleep. With DH leaving out the front door instead of the garage (C's room is above the garage) he's been sleeping longer. I'm currently sitting drinking my warm coffee and listening to the birds.
Have a great day!

Safe travels, tiffbot!

Good luck today, budders!

Morning! My h is home all day today which is a nice surprise! We had a rough night from 10:30-12:30 last night with a crankosaurus Rex, so it was nice to "sleep in"!

We're going to take LO to walk in hours today for a diaper rash and that's our only plan!

I often feel this way when I read about everyone's plans.  I mean most days are just work, dinner, cleanup bed.  But it's fun to live vicariously through others. 

Safe travels to those hitting the road!
Hope for a quiet day for those of us behind desks!

[musicfrk2002]

I think I'll be making some breakfast burritos now as well, Kristykristyleelee.

I feel much less like a zombie today, since I got a whopping 4.5 hours of sleep. Better than the 2 to 3 I've been getting.

We are going grocery shopping this morning. Now that I've said it here, I obviously have to actually get ready and go, right? I usually go at night after work, but dripping in sweat from work makes that a no-go.

I love that someone else calls their kid a crankosaurus rex. We sometimes also call ours a crankopotomus.

Welcome, tiffbot, to the land of coffee and cloudy skies

[mbjune13]

Have a great trip! tiffbot
Happy moving day! budders
Those breakfast burritos sound so quick, but I don't like eggs 😞 Kristykristyleelee
Today is a boring work day. I'm hoping it goes by quickly. I've noticed a little rash on B's neck and belly so if it gets worse I'll take her in. It doesn't seem to bother her though.

We call ours a terrorist.  FFTC?

LO got haircut #2 yesterday and this time they cut his hair really short, but H and I like it. Will post a picture sometime this weekend.

Boring morning at work. I am supposed to be writing employee evaluations.

Later today we are tagging along to H's dentist appointment because the dental hygienist suggested that DD observe one of us at the dentist before scheduling an appointment for her. The dentist sounds like something that DD is absolutely going to hate but I feel bad that she still hasn't gone yet. Our insurance won't cover the pediatric dentist places, so she will be going to our dentist.

[Bluedaisy]

Morning! Not much here today just a play date and some serious purging/decluttering.

My dad actually calls DS this. 

I think my favorite is a family friend of ours called their (now adult) daughter Sarah-pia. She grew up thinking it was a cute nickname for her, but the "pia" part stood for pain in the ass. 

[stinybean]

tiffbot have a safe trip!

budders I love that Starbucks is part of your daily routine! Good luck today!

Kristykristyleelee I wish could meal prep, but I'm too lazy!

@jemomma & KKLL I got 1 ply TP, because I'm low on cash until Friday. I don't know how you do it. I'm hating it! The only good thing is it isn't rough is just sooooooooooo thin!

I have my first 5k on Saturday. I'm not ready! I've been training with the couch to 5k app, but I'm 2 weeks behind where I should be. Yesterday I was able to run 8 minutes straight, which is the most I've done. FX I can do this.

[prettymama36]

Have so much fun tiffbot, and good vibes to all planning long car trips this weekend as well!
Good luck today budders! I hope everything goes smoothly for you guys.
We just decided we are going up to my aunt and uncles cottage next week. I'm SO excited, since we weren't able to go last year since LO was brand new. It's definitely my "happy place".
Swimming lessons again today and I'm with Bluedaisy on the decluttering train. I've sold all of the girls clothes I had stored, plus some baby gear, and so far made $500 this week!

[Bluedaisy]

Way to go @prettymama! I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of knickknacks that people have gifted me over the years so I can get rid of a fugly shelving unit in the play room.

[wegrowsheep]

Well, T woke up an hour ago, fussing and a fever of 99. He went back to sleep about 15 minutes ago.
This should make our day in the blueberry field way more interesting. And by interesting, I mean shitty. Also, MIL and SIL and 3 kids are coming today.

[prettymama36]

wegrowsheep that sucks. Sorry T isn't feeling well. Hopefully you can get through the day with some Tylenol for him and wine for you later.

[erbear]

I need to sell some clothes. I have a bag of clothes LO will never wear/never wore and any future child won't wear either & some baby gear we never used to get rid of. I have a ton of nice dresses I should just suck it up and sell, too, cause I'm never fitting in them again.

[Bluedaisy]

Sounds like a rough day wegrowsheep! Hopefully The feels better after the nap.

[pghtruelove]

budders good luck today! I hope it all goes smoothly!

Sorry to hear about your rough start. Hope T feels better soon and that the day isn't too awful.

[littlemissgrump]

Good morning! We don't have many plans for today. It's double baby work day so we probably won't go out anywhere today.

LO is doing the summer reading program at the library, read for 15 min and get a sticker on the chart, and is enjoying bringing us books and listening to them. He is almost at the 3rd prize level after 3 weeks which is about 6 hours. It's super cute. LO has no clue about it but it was one of mine and my charges favorite summer activities.

I am also in the decluttering and cleaning club.

[turtle]

tiffbot, have a fun trip!

stinybean Good luck on your 5k!

wegrowsheep, hope T feels better!

We had a gutter put on the front porch this morning. I'm definitely an adult now because I am really excited about having a gutter so the water from the porch roof doesn't pour down on us anymore. They came right before I was going to put A down for a nap, but he went down without a problem and slept through the whole thing.

[pghtruelove]

@jemomma I can't believe it's already her first recital! Is she just loving it?

[stinybean]

@scoop That's very large! Enjoy! I've never had panera coffee. I guess it's good if you can drink that much.

turtle ty. It's a color vibe run so it'll be fun. Plus I'm doing it with my sister.
