Weekend Randoms 09/24

Gooood morning! Insert chit chat here

[littlelion]

Bad start to the day when I take a spoonful of cereal only to realize the milk is sour.

But should improve...I'm having a girls lunch date at a good restaurant.

[mrsp121308]

Today starts our crazy schedule. 10 weeks until my due date and we have plans every weekend from now until then.

I have a work training all day. I just keep reminding myself $80/hr will be a nice paycheck to make up for taking my Saturday. I think I have something every weekend until Thanksgiving. So much for a relaxing 3rd trimester.

Omg mrsp121308 and @cahistoryteacher tell me
about it!! I am looking at my weekends realizing there is no break. Ugh its going to be tiring just to get through the holidays.

I am in NC I made it with toddler a screaming. I have to do it once more of get home. I am exhausted and there are so many people at my grandmothers. It was supposed to be just me and ellie with her. It didnt turn out that way. My patience is so lacking...so my family...well certain part of them is in my face. Taking everything not to be evil.

HI ladies. Today's been an expensive day - I finally bought a car! Got a GMC Acadia- probably way more car than we need, but whatevs. I liked it.

And +1 for busy weekends. Although pretty soon I'm just going to start declining things. I'm tired, yo.

I'm glad you guys made it there! Sorry about the screaming though.

This is supposed to be our relaxing weekend but it's already exhausting. Family is in town staying at my house, including my two-year-old niece. Next weekend is our big travel weekend, and I'm already dreading it. #tired

On our way to a birthday party. I'm still full from lunch. After lunch I even got to take a nap. I was productive in the morning. I have nb & 0-3 mo clothes ready to go in the nursery. Incl burp clothes and swaddle blankets. Excited.

Nice! What color?

littlelion, nothing worse than finding out your milk has gone bad. How was the birthday party?

mrsp121308, hope you get some rest in there before baby arrives!

@cahistoryteacher, training, on a Saturday? That sounds terrible. I hope it was worthwhile at least and not just busy work.

WineNChocolate, glad you survived the flight. Sorry you aren't alone at your grandmothers like you thought you would be.

emilie, emjoy sleeping in, I know I have been!

requiressnacks, new car- nice! Enjoy it!

lola, sorry your family is tiring you out.

[Becca]

I had a busy day here. I spent the morning organizing everything in the nursery into piles. I have a whole bunch of stuff to wash and then I will take inventory. I had planned on getting the laundry done today, but then an aunt and cousin who live a few hours away surprised me with a visit. I fully don't mind not getting stuff done when stuff like that happens. We spent tonight visiting my FIL since MIL is out of town. Now DH is making my cookies

[littlelion]

Becca it"s ok. Music is too loud so no conversation. Ds is having fun running around but I'm ready to go home. Except I'm waiting for cake.

Its a dark grey with beige leather interior. My old car was 10 years old so I kind of feel like I'm driving a space ship with all the cool features. Hah

requiressnacks, I just watched This Is Us- all the feels. I bawled throughout the show, but I think it has really good potential. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

Good morning! We're hanging out out around the house today, at least for the most part, because we're potty-training DD2. We started yesterday, but I think she might've held it until I put her diaper on for nap time and then bed time. I joked with FI about how we're supposed to teach her to use the toilet if she never has to go. At least that meant no accidents! Hopefully she'll get some practice in today...she does try every time I ask if she wants to, so that's a good first step.
Oh and my annoyance for the weekend...I stopped at the Starbucks at Target yesterday, and the guy somehow managed to not put any coffee in my drink! I didn't notice until after we left, but it looked very light colored and when I took a drink, it just tasted like milk and flavoring. I had FI try it too, and he agreed. I ended up making an espresso shot at home and mixing it in. I don't know if the guy just felt rushed (there was only one person in front of me and one behind?), or if he thought the preggo lady shouldn't be having coffee hahaha!

We just hung curtains in the nursery and the mural is finished! Now I need to start washing clothes, because I know we'll get more at our showers. Also, someone bought out stroller, extra car seat base and lobster chair today. I'm so freaking excited about that!!!

Whats a lobster chair?

It's a high-chair replacement that clips onto tables. My niece had one and we used it with her all the time. We eat out a lot, but I'm sure it can also be used on most tables at home. We just made sure it wasn't going to tip the table, and placed the regular chair under the lobster chair just in case.

Gotcha. I didn't know it was called that!

Probably that particular brand? My SIL called it that and I guess it stuck!

[littlelion]

lola I have one of those by Chico. I just took it off from our dining room table. Hope your fabric is machine washable. Ours wasn't and it would get so dirty. I finally got tired of hand washing and threw it in the washing machine. I don't know if it shrank or not, I put it away.

It is, thank goodness!
