The fair is in town! And the weather is soooooo perfect!!! Studying tonight (ugh) but tomorrow's it's going to be a fried food EXTRAVAGANZA and that's enough to get me through today.
Not much going on here today. Just tackling the mountain of laundry and attempting to keep the place tidy for my LLR party tomorrow.
GL on that laundry. I currently have an entire clean load in front of the dryer that needs to be folded. At least I laid the shirts out flat instead of letting them get wrinkled?

Ugh. Frustrating day over here. It's rainy again today so I've been trying to think of fun things for lo to do. He's been a crabby disaster and melting down about everything today. And to top it off, he's leaked out of 2 diapers in a row this morning. The last week and a half his cloth diapers have been leaking like crazy. I was so frustrated that I put him in a disposable for naptime while I tackle the mountain of laundry that's all from lo. Do any of our cloth diaper mamas have any suggestions?
We have a pretty big mix of pocket diapers. I know I need to replace the elastic on my fuzzibunz- that's on my list of things to do. When it leaks during naptime it's usually out the top, but that's because he's a stomach sleeper and the inserts are usually completely soaked. That doesn't happen too often. The new leaks are out the legs. I don't think it's the inserts because I have a combination of flour sack towels and microfiber and it's happened with both. Maybe I need to adjust the snaps and make it tighter on his legs? I think I'll start with the making sure it's actually tight around the legs and go from there. I did too much googling and now I'm overwhelmed and frustrated. And +1 to feeling like I have very little patience. I'm right there with you today.

Hello! It's past 2 pm and I haven't had lunch yet! That tells you how big of a breakfast I had. It included a donut thanks to ms.raven.
Leo went to DC today, finally! Cranky as hell but he went. I paid good money for the week. I actually asked if they could credit me some $, only charge me for part time this week. Yeah, haven't heard back from them.
Absolutely nothing going on here today. A very lazy Friday. Took LO to our local museum this morning. They just opened a Peanuts exhibit; she played in the snoopy doghouse. She started pulling on her diaper, even when it's brand new. Time for a potty? Leftovers for dinner unless MIL surprises us.
White knuckle Friday over here. Cranky LO, single parenting for the weekend while the H goes camping, first big exam and paper both on Sunday...delightful!

Phew. Made it to bedtime. And I'm finally done with every 4 hours eyedrops! Lo was a crab but we survived the day. Thank God it's the weekend tomorrow.
I had lo help me make pudding earlier today. He has a blast stirring and tasting. *not pictured: the 5 minute meltdown when we had to put the pudding in the fridge. Toddlers, man.

raven lo has been tugging on his diaper too. He doesn't ask for it off or anything so I just chalked it up to weird toddler behavior. Jealous of your Peanuts exhibit! Sounds fun. kcrus hang in there, mama! How's your eye feeling?

Way better. I had to stop my drops because my eye blew up like a balloon. LO kept saying "ew. Ouch. Eye bad, mama."

Add mine to the cranky toddler club. Bedtime was a nightmare. Meltdowns left and right. Sometimes I don't even think he knew why he had started to cry and would let me hold him.

I am getting so bad at checking in on here. Things are good here. I'm up early for my long run, I'm going to aim for at least 14 miles this morning. We don't have much planned for today. We might check out a public safety festival that will have firetrucks/police men doing demonstrations and different activities for kids. DS won't really know what's going on, but he LOVES firetrucks lol.
Booo it's raining. There goes our plans for the zoo again. My other plans include doing a pantry inventory and putting away the pnp. I'd like to go check out an indoor play place my sister told me about. But it's seriously pouring out there. We'll see.

AWs We went running this morning then to a private airport to watch planes. LO loved it! We finished up the morning at a library and now LO is passed out hardcore. Haircut then fair this afternoon!! Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Well today started off promising with LO sleeping nearly 13 hours straight and a trip to an orchard to pick apples...but then my luck turned. Got my period without knowing it while picking (TMI) so had to deal with that disaster when we got home. Then LO woke up super cranky after nap and while I was trying to get dressed she pulled my phone off the counter and dropped it, smashing the screen...so that tantrum ended up costing me $200 ugh. And I can't even share any cute photos since my phone is at the repair shop FWP
The rain finally stopped today so we were actually able to get outside and play! Tonight after lo goes to bed is get shit done night. Zoo Boo is next Friday and no one's Halloween costumes are done. And the piles of clutter in the kitchen are quickly turning into mountains. Yikes.
ourcrazynavylife I just bought a new LLR dress... I blame you for making me think of it! Hope your party went well. BabyStandish did your lo have fun seeing all the fire trucks? littlelion ugh, that's been our weather the last few days. I feel your pain. Can you find the Chica show on NBC? We see it sometimes on Saturdays on that channel. Maybe they have them online? raven good luck! laceysbryan he looks so big in those pictures! So cute. Have fun at the fair! megpie5 sorry for the sneak attack from AF, and for the broken phone. I think that calls for lots of wine tonight.
megpie5 ugh, sorry for the frustrating day. I didn't know there was cell phone repair shops! laceysbryan I was hoping for some food aws! Like a funnel cake *drool* ashlantic thanks, I'll have to check next saturday!
Leo has been baby jekyl & baby hyde all day. At nap time he made me cry with his huge tantrums, refusing to get in bed. I finally had dh take him and he immediately fell asleep in his lap. Grrr. But then later he'd come up to me and not only give me a big hug but he'd also grab my arms and try to place them around him. Like saying hug me back, mama! I'm now procrastinating putting him to bed not sure who I'll get.
