It's the weekend!!!!!

[ampaints]

Doctor's office opens in 5 minutes. I don't know if they'll be able to do anything to help, but I'll feel better having had him checked out.

[flippinchica]

I'm sorry for the sick baby ampaints. I think we are making an offer on a house today!

[packmomma]

ampaints I'm so sorry m is so sick. I hope the fever breaks soon and he feels better. Hopefully the appt will give you peace of mind.

[packmomma]

flippinchica how exciting!! Hope the offer gets accepted! !

[packmomma]

I took a sleeping pill last night (haven't done that in over a week) and passed out by 8. Slept till about 5 when W decided to wake up every 10 min and then go back to sleep. I'm still tired but feeling much better after this draining week.

[shellyr]

ampaints, hoping you get some answers and reassurance for little M this morning.

flippinchica, congrats on the home offer!

C and I slept like crap overnight.
The library is having a Curious George 75th birthday event today. Story times, video showings, pictures with Curious George. We are planning to go. It could be awesome or it could be a mad house.

So tired. Vacuumed half house already. Now at gym. Then home to finish cleaning then naps then shopping for kids to have some "falling" to wear for pictures next week.

[aydee]

ampaints I hope the fever breaks soon. Poor M.

flippinchica Good luck with the house offer! Very exciting.

@janetheconquerer That's a productive day already and it's still early. And all while solo parenting? I'm impressed. How was the rest of the night with C?

[tuscanlatte]

I've cleaned my kitchen this morning and I want to bake something. Not sure what yet! So glad it's the weekend

[aydee]

Plan today is to go to a farm/petting zoo type place. That's contingent on it not raining though.

I love fall baking! I made Rusks last night. They dry out at 200 degrees for 12 hrs, so I woke up to a lovely smelling house this morning.

[th3stryck3r]

Good luck on the house, flippinchica!

I hope M feels better soon, ampaints!

Fall baking is the best, tuscanlatte and shellyr!

In Nashville this weekend! The state fair is happening very close by so I think we are going to check it out.

Yum!!
I opted for pumpkin load and muffins and a pumpkin pie! I can't wait for the pie.

[Laverne]

Finally cleaned kitchen, was getting to insanity level filth. N is napping, i am skimming skinny taste, grocery list for tomorrow and then solo trip to the library!

[ampaints]

Ear infection. At least right ear, trying to look at the left ear was really upsetting him and treatment is the same so we didn't bother and are assuming he has one in his left ear as well.

First ear infection and first time on antibiotics. He's finally napping, doctor and store to get his medicine threw it off.

Came home and fought with H,but it got us talking which needed to happen.

[Deleted]

aydee, it was a rough night. Hopefully tonight is easier.

Since being home, I've done a load of laundry, cleaned 2 bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen, mopped, made lunch, made pumpkin muffins, 1kid napped and showered.

The kids are eating their 3rd muffin and i have the FSU game on.

[Deleted]

ampaints, the good thing is M should start feeling better rather quickly once the meds kick in.

[shellyr]

Sorry ampaints, what a yucky morning.

Now I want to make pumpkin stuff after all of this baking talk

We went to the library. It was bonkers and I made H come along after working all night to take a photo with C and Curious George. We signed up for an initiative to read 1,000 books before Kindergarten. I like a good goal.

PSA: today is curiosity day. A lot of bookstores like B&N and libraries are having curious George events today if you need something to do.

[Deleted]

Kids loaded up to go shopping then meet H for dinner (he's driving into town now) and the little buggers fell asleep. So now I'm sitting parked at Kohl's under some trees. My book is at home.

we are up to 200, i count repeated books.

My lack of sleep and just sitting here is making me tired. But I think it's frowned upon to sleep in a running car with kids in the back.

[ampaints]

I feel like I have nothing to say other than my kid is sick

I'm drinking a Margarita though, so that's a fun new development!

[ampaints]

th3stryck3r how is Nashville so far?

@janetheconquerer did you get any shopping done?

shellyr at least you got pictures!

redandblue what was it you were doing this weekend? Was it a festival of some sort?

skinandbones how are you? Is your H close to starting the new job?

[ampaints]

@mrspanpan did you find a new stroller?

tuscanlatte did you bake?

aydee did you make it to the zoo?

layloo08 kaeguri zonagirl how are you ladies?

[Deleted]

No shopping ampaints! I sat in the parking lot for over an hour then went to meet H. Addie woke up on the way and said she was hungry, then when she saw us pull up to the restaurant, she started crying because she wanted to go buy a shirt...lol. I was like sweetheart, you slept the entire time we sat in front of the store....

Will try again tomorrow.

[zonagirl]

ampaints I'm doing well! We did some re-sleep training ava after summer travel/learning to roll to belly/learning to stand in crib/being sick/switching to one nap....and so far all seems to be on the right track (jinxing isn't real, jinxing isn't real, jinxing isn't real, lol).

Our home projects are coming along which makes me so happy. MH and I had been going through a rough patch but have been doing counseling and that has helped tremendously.

I realize that was a LOT to a light-hearted question but, I feel like I haven't checked in here much lately and I need to take advantage of the moments when I can post!

[tmclawchick]

tuscanlatte you inspired me to make French onion soup (I think it was you who made it this week?)...best dinner everrrrr.

[tmclawchick]

Also I went through the sales ad this morning and made my meal plan and shopping list. Went to the store and it took me a good 20 minutes (and a half full cart) to realize the sale prices start tomorrow. D'oh! I put everything back, got what I needed for dinner and I'm just going to do curbside pickup for the rest tomorrow.

[ampaints]

zonagirl give me all the details! I miss seeing your updates.

tmclawchick lol, pregnancy Brian strikes again.
