Friday Is Upon Us!

[yummeecookee]

We made it to the end of the week! How's it going?

[yummeecookee]

Still tired as always. C had a good night - he was only up twice. Pretty sad that 2 wake ups is good in our book.
Just trying to push through the work day and get my weekend started.

[allycat]

2 wake ups here too - 1 & 4:30 I think. I had to bring him to bed after the 1:00 one though, so not really a win.

But - today is my Friday off and I still sent him to daycare. I'm watching TV and drinking coffee in peace before I get busy on stuff. It's glorious.

[winogirl]

We had two wake ups last night I think but he's already in the futon with me so I don't even check the clock anymore for those. He did decide to get up at 4 and try to stay awake for the day but I managed to get him to go back down by 5am - just in time for me to get up to get ready for work. I'll have that extra coffee now please.

Also might right boob is super painful this morning. I'm hoping just a blocked duct that I can massage out during pumping today. I keep bumping it and it hurts

[sunfrogger88]

One up for us but a late bed time and early day so....

I am worried sick but I hope she has fun on her adventure today at the back up center!

Yesterday my H got some info on the job he interviewed for to help our thought process. They expect to have an offer to him early next week so we have a lot to talk about this weekend. I'll probably make a thread about it to get some outside advice.

We had a good night but DD2 is refusing to be put down today and is screaming like a pterodactyl when I put her down. I have to clean the house for the open house this weekend, so this should be interesting.

Tomorrow is our anniversary and I'm 99% sure DH has totally forgotten even though we were discussing plans because now he wants to go see friends which I feel bad saying no because he leaves soon. I'm disappointed but I'll probably just let it go cause he has a lot on his mind.

All good here. Ready for the weekend. It's been a busy week.

[younglove316]

One last 14 hour shift for my husband today and then he starts vacation! I am so excited, this has been such a long week!

Today we are having a playdate at our house with a few other kids. After that I think I'm just going to focus on cleaning and maybe some arts and crafts.

[ldubhawksfan]

Teething, for real. I cried when DH finally came in to relieve me at 1 am

Two ups -- 11:30 and 4:30. But she slept through some pretty gnarly storms last night. So did H. We were under flash flood warnings (thanks for letting me know, phone...), the lightning and thunder were spectacular, and the wind and rain heavy. He woke up this morning and literally said, "Oh, did it rain or something? Or is that from the sprinklers?"

I, on the other hand, was awake for most of it, except when I had dreams that I had roof leaks and my floors got ruined :/

E's napping now, then we're going to take advantage of this rare good weather and go to a nearby park for a walk and a Poke-hunt. My back still hurts but walking feels better than sitting.

So many hugs for you

[samelly]

Last night when I was trying to get DS to sleep DD kept running in to the room and doing silly things that caused baby giggle fits. She was supposed to be in bed too. They were up way to keep late but it is so precious seeing them connect as siblings.

[catinatophat]

We have been without power for almost 24 hours and they are saying it could be Tuesday before it is restored. So we have to throw out all of the food in the fridge and freezer and will probably be looking for somewhere to stay this weekend. It will be over 90 degrees today and this weekend so there is no way we can stay in the house without AC. Even worse is that we just started sleep training last Saturday and travelling this soon will probably undo all the progress we have made

[littleredfish]

Boo. Another disappointment for the day. I finally found a reasonably priced JuJuBe BFF bag like I wanted and it just arrived. It's so small compared to how it looked in pics. I saw a review and they said the Be Prepared was bigger, I was going to switch but opted not to. Now I have this beautiful bag that's too small for 3 littles. Poop. Now I'm going to sell it to get my money back and buy the Be Prepared. When will I learn to listen to myself?

Oh man. That's rough.

[kensie5226]

catinatophat, oh no! That sucks. Did you have storms or something?

Oh no! I'm so sorry!

[yummeecookee]

Oh no catinatophat, what the hell is going on that you have no power? That's terrible.
I hope you don't have a BM stash that's getting tossed. That's just insult to injury right there.

I got the speaker I ordered last minute on Tuesday and it is literally 1 cubic inch! Ha teach me to order on my mobile!! Can you return prime day things like normal?

Yep, yesterday a bad one moved through and left like 100k w/out power. I think it's down to 30k now but I guess the damage is pretty bad so they don't think it will be a quick fix. 


yummeecookee, Henry won't drink my frozen milk and my stash was small anyways so at least I don't have to worry about that!!

[yummeecookee]

Now you've got me spiraling on diaper bags littleredfish. I have 2, but they're like black holes. So hard to find stuff in.

[mtnmomma13]

ldubhawksfan, sorry for the teething pain...sending you hugs. Have you tried the teething tablets? I don't think they worked for DD/DS, but some people swear by them.
catinatophat, ugh that totally blows!!! I hope you can get your power back soon.

I'm just trying to get through today. We are doing our first family vacation next week. Only about an hour away, but it will be 5 nights away. I hope the kids sleep ok.

Yep we gave her some in the first hr, but it didn't seem to help much.

[sunfrogger88]

Oh no catinatophat !! Hugs. Eat what you can!! Cook it if possible (gas stove or grill) and take it with you do you don't have to eat out!

[fuzzylogic]

catinatophat, that sucks! I'm so sorry. I second the cooking on the grill if you can. Or maybe a neighbor who is in the same situation has one and is sympathetic?

Our trip to the park was successful, but E got a little hot. It wasn't *that* hot outside but I had her in pants to keep from having to slather her whole little body in sunscreen but I think it made her a little too warm. It was incredibly productive on the Pokemon front. I stopped at a Poke-stop and got an egg and said so to E, and a teenager walking by, who was obviously trying to catch a Pokemon, told me there was a Kingler around the corner lol. Pokemon, bringing strangers together.

[catinatophat]

Yay!!! Our power is back on!!!! We'll still lose most of the food (at least it's the end of the week) but we won't lose our sleep training progress

Stuck in the box! 

my pokemon app keeps stalling out on me when I catch a pokemon. boo. I have to restart and then only sometimes the pokemon reappears and I can re-catch it. super annoying.

[fuzzylogic]

winogirl, that happened to me yesterday when I was trying to catch an Ivysaur. I was so mad. It never captured. Most of the time it's smooth sailing, so just keep at it!

[colinsfebmommy]

Ugh was looking forward to a weekend of no big plans but now my son is on day 3 of a fever and it is 102 today. When I get home from work, off to the doctors. That sucks
