Lo was up promptly at 6:30. I have a work day to help clean up a church members yard. Tonight we have a birthday party for a friend of my H's. It should have good food & drinks as well as kids games. Win! House work tomorrow.
Just got up with ds. He's eating breakfast. S is still sleeping. Dh and I are still not talking. I slept on the couch last night, so it wasn't the best.
Hopefully we can talk through things today. We're supposed to go to a surprise deployment party for a friend tonight. It would be a much better time if we were actually speaking to each other.
I have to go to the dmv to renew my drivers license, and I need to get a new passport. I'll probably get both of those done today.
We survived day 1. Lots of screaming. But, we're in Asheville NC, and have about 7 more hours of driving ahead of us- hoping today is better than yesterday! Also hoping Tylenol and antibiotics start kicking in today!
I just feel bad for B. He is clearly hurting and there is next to nothing I can do for him in addition to what we've already been doing. I'm hoping he'll sleep a lot today
I am going to a consignment store for 90% off clearance today but we don't have any other plans. The humidity broke, so id like to do something outside!
Morning! DS refused to eat more than half a bite of peanut butter toast when we had breakfast earlier, so now he's happily munching Cheerios at the coffee table and watching Sesame Street. At least he's eating, right?
Hopefully B starts to feel better soon, kemdupuis.
We don't have much planned today. Hopefully E will go down for his nap in a little bit and then I'm hoping we can get to a farmers market. I really need to buy some more maternity clothes; pants are just not comfortable anymore. I've been rocking leggings on the weekend, but I don't think work would approve. Most of my clothes are for winter and well clearly it's not winter.

@kemdupis I hope B feels better today. Poor little guy. Hugs michyme123, doing it all alone is hard. I'm with you in feeling burnt out too. Your H will be there soon! I hope you and your H talk things through today alayne926, sorry about the rough night. This morning we are going to a parade for Rodeo Days, a local festival and have a wedding this evening. I hope O makes it through in a good mood.

B just woke me up at 6:30, so I'm up with her trying to keep her quiet so DD1 and DH can sleep a bit more. She gave me her cold, so now we are both sniffly and miserable but she's handling it a lot better than I am.
No plans this weekend... at all! I think we'll go shopping and i might take DD1 to a movie.

That's exactly what I say. I figure it all balances out.
Currently on the road to the beach. Just doing a day trip so the baby can see the ocean and play in the sand. We stopped to get coffee, I suggested the drive through. He said no, which then left me with a baby who woke up from just falling asleep to a screaming baby.....why don't men listen to us when we suggest something??

This is why I always drive when H and I go places together.
I wish this was the case. But he wanted to take his new toy (car) and I'm not allowed to drive it to the Beach. Thankfully dd has settled back down, but we also have to make a stop on the way.
Over all it should be an interesting trip, he refused to bring a blanket for the sand and said she will be fine on our towels, doesn't want to bring the stroller on the sand. Over all I feel we under packed and I'm jjst hoping my pain meds kick in so I can sleep for the next 2 hours.

Were going to go into the city and walk around. SO has never really had the chance to explore anywhere but the stadiums. Other than that nothing else going on here.
O woke me around 7 which wasn't terrible. H is repacked and on his way. My cousin and her BF should be here between 8&9 tonight so I need to get my house back in order. Our friends and their bulldog stayed with Carl last week to house sit. It smelled like straight up dirty dog when we walked in last night. I'm hoping I can fix that before company arrives tonight. O's down for nap #1. He is definitely done nursing. And he's much more like a toddler than a baby now. His babbling exploded while we were gone and he's cruising everywhere. I knew he'd get a little spoiled at my ILs house...he screams if you don't pick him up immediately. Looks like I'll have a couple bad habits to reign back in. alayne926, the cookies are excellent at all times of day. I'm going to search for a recipe today because I need these in my life always.
budders glad you're getting a moment to relax a little
periwinkledaydreams those look amazing! I am such a terrible baker- haha my poor children will never have delicious homemade pastries or treats for breakfast. (I'm a great cook, though!) maybe you should send us some?!
@jemomma sorry E had a tough night. Hope today is better and the 6 days goes smoothly

kemdupuis I'm also a much better cook than I am a baker.. mostly because I find it tedious and unexciting to follow directions/a recipe. But this one is really simple and totally worth it. Make and bake in a half hour!

Morning! I hope all you beach-goers have a great trip. That will be us next week! We have a family reunion all day today, so I've been cooking and baking all morning. I have 12 cousins on this side of the family, and we have 13 kids between us so far. I'm looking forward to it!
This is why I always drive when H and I go places together.
I wish this was the case. But he wanted to take his new toy (car) and I'm not allowed to drive it to the Beach.
Why are you not allowed to drive the car? This is such a strange concept to me. H and I have our own cars but we still trade driving each other's sometimes

He jjst got it Thursday, in reality I am allowed to drive it but he just prefers to drive in general. If it was a random Saturday and I was running out I could take the car. He'll I'm paying for it as well it's not just his car. But when we go on long road trips I'm fine with him doing the driving bc it means I get to sleep. He used to travel for a living so he doesn't really talk on car rides bc he got so accustomed to being by himself in the car.
We're on the road to my mom's this morning. 7 of the 9 of us kids will be there, plus our families. It will be an early Thanksgiving celebration since three of my siblings probably won't be able to make it for any holiday get togethers this winter. My mom said she will have all of the foods ready - turkey, stuffing, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin pie, etc. It should be a long but fun day!
