I'm off today, spending the morning making some last minute travel arrangements for our trip. Pray for me guys, in less than two weeks, 2 kids, 15 hours one way. We're headed out to the Midwest to visit family and attend a friend's wedding. Beer will be had. I was able to book a room at an indoor water park on the way home. I also just bought a tray table for DS' car seat and a crib soother to attach to the seat back for DD.

It's supposed to be stormy here today so no real big plans. I think I will get out my fall decorations. I need to do some work for DH's office but that's all I have planned.

2.5hrs was long enough this past weekend. 4hours is my limit. Beyond that, we fly. Hats off to you.
Speaking of which, give me your car road trip distractions for a toddler. iPad is not an option. He threw it at the window and we are lucky nothing broke!
Happy Monday. I spent all day indoors yesterday due to conflicting naps (well, DS1 never did nap but had his quiet hour in crib). Am pumping at work now. I have 90min to get about 4hours worth of work done yet I am TCFing while I pump. What's wrong with me?
Also, I fell off the weight watchers wagon this weekend, but am back on this morning!
This morning, my adorable toddler said "Alexa, play jump around by house pains". Yeah, the kid wanted to listen to Jump around, by House of Pain. It was HILARIOUS.
Lastly....I can't wait for DS2 to gain some more weight so we can sleep train. I was up 5x last night and 5x the night before. This has to end. I am a zombie and it's now starting to affect my mood A LOT.

Ugghh 5x a night and then needing to work is horrible 😢 Hope you can get it straightened out soon!
@aeroplaneoverthesea, we did 12 hours one way over the summer with the kiddos. It's survivable. Going to McDonald's with Play Places and finding playgrounds near the highway helped a lot. On our overnight stops we stayed at hotels with pools too.
There was an active shooter on my best friend's street this morning. 9 injured and 6 hospitalized. They are still investigating but it is so scary. I'm sad for our world.

Ugh...seriously? Is she also in Houston? My little sister lives there too Reaching out to her now!
I HATE our world. I do NOT understand how 4% of the world's population can own 90% of the world's guns.

We have a "mount" for our kindle fire. DD does not touch it at all. It's this one: link. I'm sure they have a version for ipads too or something similar.
We start every drive out with no technology. She can read books, sing songs, etc. But the Fire is always "charging" for the first couple of hours and doesn't work. Which usually gets us a nap. Depending on the length of the drive, usually about half way in, we'll play her some Frozen or Aladdin songs, and before everyone goes crazy, we put on a movie and she zones out.

Yeah, no technology until absolutely needed here too k3am. Might invest on the mount, but what DS likes about the ipad are puzzles. I dearly miss the days he would fall asleep in the car I'm thinking the ipad would be something he and I can do together if I sit in the back with him for the last bit of the drive.

We are so much better this morning!! Fever is gone and no throw up in over 12 hrs 🙌🏻 I was getting nervous cause tomorrow we are flying to my sisters and dnw a sick baby while traveling. But i get to see both of my sisters newborns! I have so much to get done today before we leave hopefully I can do it all. If not dh is staying I will leave the laundry for him haha
. My BIL has an IQ of over 160..... He's awkwardly intelligent. He isn't quite capable of having average intelligence level conversations, so I think if W is over 130 and under 155, we should be good.
Instead of being productive I just spent the past 45 minutes figuring out the kid's Halloween costumes and now I'm TCF while pumping. Is it too early for me to be emotionally done with this week?
Scary: I've been known to sleep talk/walk/act out my dreams when I'm stressed. The other night I crawled (literally) across my room to my dresser and woke up there. Last night I kept dreaming baby I wasn't breathing and I was patting him on the back IRL (apparently my subconscious thought that would help) and gasping and telling him to wake up. 😳 Mayyyybe bed sharing is off the table for me until after my DC inspection tomorrow.
Re: car rides, I read a blog post about books on tape being magical for car rides. Can't say from experience obviously. Just an idea.
westiemom How scary! So glad nobody was killed and everyone you know is safe. 😢
westiemom, that's terrifying. Wtf, why do so many Americans resort to gun violence when they're upset about things?
snoris, I sincerely hope you re-think bed sharing while you're in that state. I don't want to worry you but so many things could have happened. What if your subconscious had thought to shake him? This comes from a place of love, what you described scares the crap out of me.
We used a Spotify channel that told different nursery rhymes and children's stories for car rides. Now we listen to endless amounts of Thomas and friends music.
On car ride out to Rockford this weekend, DS requested "his jeep song" about 10 times. his jeep song is "the rain" by Missy Elliot. Beep beep, who's got the keys to the jeep...vrrroooooooommm. Kid LOVES IT!
And following that, it was Beethoven's 7th symphony!
I just called the cops to stop an altercation on my floor at work. Seriously...it's literally baby-mama-drama!

Still struggling on sleep here. Some nights are better (3-4 wakes vs 4-5). DS also threw up ALL over himself and the car seat this morning. But he's been fine and kept food down since. Hopefully it's just a one time thing. But on a better note, the weather is so much nicer and were enjoying having the windows open and getting some nice fresh air.
That's crazy that the shooing was so close to you westiemom Hope everyone is ok babycaps Good luck to everyone traveling soon! DS loves his vetch laptop. It's at least educational! The Doodle board also helps keep him occupied for a while too!
