Weekend Conversation

Took DS on his first bus ride. We went to Fairyland, which is a story themed park for children. He had an awesome time. Now I'm listening to him chatter to himself in his crib & waiting for him to fall asleep.

[aggiebug]

Is the wedding tomorrow lilyelayne? Do you have rehearsal tonight?

Hiya it's cooling off here again yay! Probably for good. At least I hope. Not much exciting around here just getting small things done in between being lazy.

dreemkin one more game! AND you don't *have* to beat Kershaw;)

DH wanted to get up and start driving at 4am so that's how our day started. E got sick about half way here so we had to pull over and DH had to clean her up while I heaved on the side of the road and then we got to finish the last 3.5 hours of the drive with the car smelling like puke.

I'm just not feeling well and I know I'm cranky especially after getting up at 4 this morning so it's been tough to be positive and friendly to the parade of DHs extended family we've been with since we got here. It's finally time to get ready for bed though and that's the best thing that's happened all day.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug no rehearsal. There are no attendants so no need. We're leaving the cocktails & tacos party they had instead. It was loud and crowded in a small restaurant, and DS was NOT happy. I loved socializing but I am glad to be done so I can get my chill kid back. His mood improved 1000% every time we stepped outside.

dmorgendorffer that sounds like a super rough day. Sending you good thoughts for an easy night.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne, enjoy the wedding (if it's tomorrow)! I love weddings!
aggiebug such a relief to be a game up! I almost want to watch the game on mute tomorrow because I don't think I can stomach stupid Joe Buck saying clayton kershaw so many times...it's like he's seriously in love with him. Shut the Buck up!
dmorgendorffer sounds like our last road trip. I'm sorry it was rough...was your DD's incident a 1 time thing? Hope so!

I woke up with bloodshot, swollen eyes. I'm not sure what's going on...I'm trying to pin down what's making it happen periodically. It could be a few things. Needless to say it was a glasses day (so I'm glad I updated the lenses this year). I like my glasses and how they look but I'm just not used to wearing them and it feels weird. Tomorrow is an early morning as we are going to a pumpkin patch/farm and want to get there early to hopefully beat the rush!

PS: blake lively is so flippin' cute.

We finally went and bought the drywall and supplies for our basement tonight! So many setbacks leading up to this and it won't quite be the basement I originally imagined, but we are actually starting on it!

One the other hand, V continued his nap strike today so that's lots of fun. Child you need sleep!

[seamonster]

Started the weaning process tonight. I couldn't take the comfort nursing anymore. DS howled and then decided he wanted to play in his crib. And then he wants tired and wanted to nurse to sleep and got upset that "the boobies are asleep". Got over it and wanted to play some more. Kept taking off his sleep sack. And I had to give a good night kiss all the stuffed animals he insists on sleeping with (beware of reading Ten in the Bed).

And we didn't get to see our friends since they're exhausted from the flight and one of them works 3rd shift and hadn't slept since yesterday.

Ugh not good. I've got an early morning car puker too. Luckily she's old enough for kids gravol.

[aggiebug]

dmorgendorffer,. Oh my gosh that is the worst. Dd threw up im the car twice during first tri and it was the worst. Once with my parents, who didn't know I was pregnant yet, in the car.

Went to the pumpkin patch/farm today. The girls loved it and A cried when we left =( We got a little carried away and bought a pretty big pumpkin for carving. It's 25lbs...ooops. They were all pretty big this year, and beautiful with nice stems!

Tonight: let's go cubbies, let's go!

[tortor4]

dreemkin did you find boots yet? I just found a super cute pair at Burlington for $20. Maybe check them out if you have one near you!

[lilyelayne]

On our way to the wedding! It's on a retired WW2 military cargo ship. We'll have about an hour to explore before the ceremony starts. FX it's enough time for G to get comfortable with a new place before he has to sit quietly.

[dreemkin]

tortor4 not actively looking yet but I like Burlington! Thanks for the tip

[aggiebug]

dreemkin, laughing thinking of you watching the pregame. Kershaw Kershaw Kershaw .

If it were a drinking game you would have been drunk before the game even started


Although looks like they jumped on him early. Keep it up Cubs!

[mmarie]

We did the pumpkin patch today too. It was gorgeous out. SIL is moving a few states away next month so we are all going to go to MILs house and just hang out for the day over there tomorrow. Then I think I work like 7 out of the next 8 days so that should be interesting. I'm excited for trick or treating. Even if DD still hates her costume, I get most of her candy!

[kartish]

We were supposed to go to a zombie crawl tonight but between a last minute setback at work and a late nap for V we missed it. But that's alright, naps take priority.

My boss decided on someone else for our reopened position. I've got some reservations about the lady, so I hope she works out.

[dreemkin]

...to be the best in the national league!!!

[seamonster]

Pumpkin patch for us this afternoon. May have to stop at work to print our Groupon. Where are all the FedEx offices when you need them?

[lilyelayne]

Wedding was amazing. G partied the whole time. He especially loved dancing; who knew my kid likes EDM? We left after 10pm and he was still going strong. Of course fell asleep 5 minutes into the car ride home and we had a smooth night thereafter.

Currently he's napping and we're playing board games with a friend in our hotel room. Last night here. We head home super early tomorrow

That's great that your LO was able to party hard!

This summer I took dd1 to a wedding. She stayed up until 10:30 then asked to go home. When we were getting into the car she said "look mommy stars". I realized she's never seen stars, she's in bed at 7! Lol

[mishka29]

I'm calling in 'sick' tomorrow. I was going to take the day off then I thought fuck it. When the union finishes negotiating our contact I'm going to lose all my banked sick time - which is 560 hours. So I figure why use up my vacay time.

DH and I opened our bottle of champagne (it was free) to celebrate the end of the renos! New furnace, AC, windows, roof, basement junk, water heater, etc! We waited so long and had to deal with so much crap. Soooo glad it's finished!

[dreemkin]

mishka29 that must have been rough. We are getting only painting done soon and I'm dreading it (I hate people in my house; it's just so disruptive). Glad you can celebrate being finished!

[kartish]

Yay for an end to renovations @mishka!

I'm behind in a project at work which is due tomorrow. Two of the three pieces are done, but the third piece took longer than I had thought it would and is more difficult. And also out of my comfort zone, so I focused on the other two and drug my feet on it. But I don't really care, it should all be done by the actual deadline.

I'm staying up to get some me time tonight, even though I'm tired. Next week DH may go out of town for an interview, if he decides he wants to pusure the job. It would be a great opportunity, but I'm sure there would be lots of competition.

[agm04]

i was out of pocket this weekend so i'm just now catching up. dmorgendorffer i hope it was a one time thing and everyone has been healthy. that sounds like my worst nightmare.

lilyelayne glad the wedding went well and everyone had a good time!
