Hooray it's thursday

[sabrinaml]

One day closer to the weekend!

[sabrinaml]

Anyone have anything exciting?

[erbear]

My kid (mostly) slept last night!

Sucks I scheduled an earlier physical therapy appointment for myself and couldn't sleep in more. I was knocked out when h woke me up.

[Bluedaisy]

Just hanging around the house

[jillywilly]

It's moving day! I'm actually at work because H won't let me do anything... I guess that's one perk of being pregnant and completely nauseated in the midst of a move? I so wish we were just moving into our new house, but I just keep repeating it's only five weeks in my head... five weeks is survivable.

H's car is going to the dealer today for some issue with his radio. He just realized he doesn't have his work laptop so it might be a day off together! I think that's a good thing.

[billyhorrible]

DH and I are dropping the kids of at preschool/daycare then heading to breakfast. Haven't figured out what else we're doing on our kid-free date day today.

[sugarkissed]

B is climbing everything this morning. She stresses me out.

We are off to bootcamp in the park this morning but it rained all night so things could be muddy! The girls will love it. Haha.

[mrsdee1982]

Just trying to survive the day. Barely slept last night. Woke up super nauseous. Have to train some interns all day. Yuck.

But at least it's my Friday.

So jealous!

[alayne926]

I had a fun work dinner lastnight and came home to both kids asleep, it was great! Usually DH keeps DS up since he can be a bear to put to bed. I was pleasantly surprised. He even cleaned the kitchen.

[blueskiessmiling]

carrots I'm going to be counting down the days for you now!

DD slept terribly last night. Today's mission is to find closed-toe athletic type sandals in a size larger for Disney World next month for DD. Her feet are going through a serious growth spurt!

It's Miracle Treat Day at DQ, so might as well go get a blizzard today.

Other than that, just spending the day outside with the kids. I can't believe summer is almost over, although I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to start wearing fall clothes.

I totally forgot about this...so getting one after picking up the dog.

[Bluedaisy]

jillywilly I always said if we moved again I would be pregnant so I wouldn't have to do it. Seriously girl milk that for ALL it's worth!

[belle0720]

TGIT!

No work tomorrow so today is my Friday, wooohoooo!

The couple who came to see our house last night is making us an offer, but we know it's going to be under asking which is a bummer. Still waiting on the couple we met Saturday who also say they're making an offer but I guess their parents are helping with the down payment so they're figuring out the logistics. We really liked them so I hope that comes to fruition ASAP. Two more couples are also coming to look at the house today. I don't know why these people didn't just come to the open houses we had, but w/e. It seems that the market has slowed down overall in the past couple of months, houses are still listing high but sitting a bit longer so I'm just trying to be patient. But also freaking out that we might have to just take it off the market, put in new landscaping so our house really is turn-key and relist in the spring.

In other extremely important news, I'm really looking forward to my facial tomorrow. I can't believe I've been sitting on this gift card for so long. H gave it to me I think for my birthday or Valentine's day when I was pregnant! I also would love to go get my nails done soon. I used to be all about this stuff, and now I feel so guilty taking time away from G to go pamper myself.

Anyways, Happy Thirsty Thursday Ladies!

There is a tree being cut down across the street, directly across from our sliding door. I'm not having to provide any entertainment right now.

This sounds...glorious.

Not much going on today. Yesterday evening DS was an absolute nightmare. We had earlier agreed to all walk to the store to get DS a sparkling lemonade but he got the privilege taken away because of his behavior. Instead I took LO on a walk while DS had to stay home and DS was really, really upset. It made for a really hard night, including about a 30 minute major meltdown. It was very hard to deal with but I felt like it was important to prove my point. I hope it helps shape tonight into a better evening because yesterday SUCKED.

Edited: used the word "really" far too many times.

[veggiemo]

Oh, and for all you moms with older kids struggling with bedtime (@jemomma , I know you have complained recently) I have a new tactic that has somewhat worked. We got DS a bed tent. (It's actually mine from when I was a kid, so it's cool I get to re-use it!) I don't think he has really fallen asleep any earlier, but it helps keep him in his room which is all I really want anyway. It's also a good tool if he's acting out, I can threaten to remove it. Example:

What is miracle treat day? Is this regional or national?

I think it's national...they donate money to the children's miracle fund for every blizzard sold.

[heartofglass]

We've been up and down the stairs about 20 times this morning. I guess A is helping to keep me on my workout schedule;)

Our hot water heater quit yesterday. Or actually we think the lines are blocked with hard water deposits. Either way, we need a water softener and to have our lines flushed. Yay, more bills and expenses.

I'm hoping we can head to the fair in town today or tomorrow. I really think A would enjoy it and we really need something to break up our routine/involve H some.

[belle0720]

So apparently I have a mutual friend with the family that is putting an offer on our house. She messaged me to put in a good word and say how much they love the house and hopefully they give a strong offer. Nice to hear but also kind of awkward.

[tiffbot]

We are en route to Regina for the weekend! We are going to a campground right outside the city to save us like $100 a night in hotel costs, lol. But mostly hanging out in the city all weekend. My brother and sister live there, and my parents are coming down tomorrow. Then family football game and first pro game for the kids Saturday!! Can't wait!!

Also, last night a friend invited a bunch of people and their families out for supper last night (it was like 15 kids and 9 adults, lol). Anyway, she's the one who scored us last minute Garth tickets and asked me and H last night if we wanted to go to Keith Urban next month with them and another couple! Wasn't it just in the last week I was posting on here that I need to find a way to go?! Score!

[mrsmonogrammed]

My boss is being super strict about hours/overtime now so she just called me and told me I need to leave by 3:30. (Usual end of day is 4). Uh, ok. Don't have to tell me twice!!

[tiffbot]

michyme123 that's so awesome!! I went when he was here 7, 8? years ago too, I just love him!

[pghtruelove]

@babybean9 I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.

[stinybean]

@babybean9 wtf!!

[mrsdee1982]

@babybean9, that is insane!

[erbear]

Wtf, @babybean9.

[sugarkissed]

tiffbot I'm going to see Keith Urban next month too! So excited!

My mom just announced that she's coming to visit today because we live right by the airport and she has to pick her boyfriend up at 10:30. She said that if DH and I want to go out alone for a few hours we should take advantage. Umm.. yes please! I don't know where we should go/what we should do though.

[pghtruelove]

J has started taking the covers out of outlets... Using her teeth. I don't know what to do with this child.
