It's Friday, Friday FriYAY!!!

Happy Friday to everyone!

Good morning everyone. I hope this means everyone is getting the chance to sleep in.

My LO is cranky this morning. IL's took off for England for a week and she is not happy. Neither am I, to be honest. DH is supposed to fly to SC on Monday (?!), and I just figured out last night that I'll be on my own for the first time ever, for a week. She's in a toddler phase and I am NOT enjoying it one bit. I hope it's just because of teething and will end soon. Right now, she is just sitting in her high chair with no breakfast because she wasn't eating it, she was throwing it. And oatmeal and banana is not a fun thing to clean up, so yeah, you sit there while I take a minute to clean up.

I hope everyone on the east coast is staying safe, warm, and dry.

Oh, and we go house hunting again this afternoon! There was one house we had our eye on, was really interested in it, but it is already under contract after 2 days!! Hope we find something today.

Woke up tired. Like I know I will still be exhausted tomorrow kind of tired. Ugh. My kids are officially on a 10 day fall break and I have a TON of homework today. Should be interesting. LO woke up happy enough tho- she loves when all her siblings are home.

raven flying solo isn't always fun, except the evening part where you get the whole house to yourself and don't have to worry about dinner for everyone. That's my favorite. Oh, and having the remote all to myself! Hope your LO is less cranky as the day goes on.

I'm cooking up breakfast then taking lo to daycare so I can hopefully knock out a large portion of my paper and not have to worry about it this weekend.

Send me all the focusing vibes for today. Haha

raven hugs to you mama what kcrus said is true about the evening part, it's awesome. But all the good thoughts your way being KUd and taking care of a toddler on your own is hard
kcrus hopefully your older ones can help so you can get your stuff done.
ourcrazynavylife you can do it! (Said in that voice from Water Boy)

[nemomof2]

You guys my heart just melts when this happens, they are becoming the best of friends and have so much fun together. It makes the times that they fight and pick on each other worth it.

Working again today without a voice, I always loose my voice after getting a sore throat...my allergies are acting up and this is the result...LO is getting over his cold...he did not want to get up this morning to go to school (DC)... I am secretly upset that everyone is getting pregnant and DH is dragging his feet..... MIL called about an hour ago and said that SIL is in labor...yeah for a baby!!!! To bad she is in Chicago and I can't baby snuggle...

[littlelion]

Just left work. And have to come in tomorrow. :mad: I am so going to enjoy my 3 mo of maternity leave.

[littlelion]

nemomof2 that is the best. I hope your trio gets along just as well!

[littlelion]

raven I know how you feel. I feel guilty when I get frustrated dealing with Leo's tantrums. I can share my recent coping method. Cry along with them and wait for the hugging it out part.
babyw15 Sorry yh is dragging his feet to tfas. Fx he comes around soon!
kcrus & ourcrazynavylife hope your day was as productive as you needed it to be!

[megpie5]

I got to snuggle our friend's two week old baby tonight and now my uterus is aching! Hope all you knocked up mamas keep posting pics and pregnancy stories so I can live vicariously through you for a while!

[megpie5]

Although the toddler attitude is driving me a bit batty, I love this age and how funny LO is. Her most recent thing is packing her stuff, saying bye and walking to the door like she's going on a trip lol

[ashlantic]

Finally sitting down for the 1st time today. It's been a busy one! My parents invited us out kayaking with them this morning. Lo wasn't too impressed with the kayak, probably because he hates his life jacket, but he loved playing in the river.
Dh came home early for work because we had Zoo Boo tonight. Our zoo does a trick or treat trail for the kids. We finished up our costumes this afternoon (nothing like waiting til this last minute!) Lo had fun at the zoo. It was really well organized and so cool seeing how they made animals and characters out of pumpkins.
Dh is gone for the weekend (boys weekend) and I have a baby shower tomorrow. My dad is coming to babysit so I got the house all cleaned up so I'm not scrambling in the morning. I'm exhausted.

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic that's awesome!

[ourcrazynavylife]

I got about half my paper finished. I was hoping for more but I was sooo sleepy.

So I came home and took a nap. Now I'm all groggy and disoriented and need to figure out what to eat for dinner.

[ashlantic]

raven I'm going to be on my own for a week coming up (if dh's company ever gets their shit together and actually plans this trip.) I can't imagine doing it during the 1st tri! Hope your lo cheers up for you.
kcrus hope you get some good sleep tonight!
ourcrazynavylife good luck with your homework.
nemomof2 that's so sweet. And I loved your wardrobe post from yesterday! You are so talented!
babyw15 hugs all around.
littlelion ugh, sorry you have to go in tomorrow! Loved your bump pic from yesterday.
megpie5 I'm right there with you on both the pregnancy thing and loving this toddler age thing.

My aunt sent her a package full of dress-up clothes today. She loved it!! Haha

I foresee a dress up station being assembled in her room.
