Lollipop, is it only the Bluejays? For some reason I was thinking there was another... I just googled it and Montreal had a team until 2004 (the Expos). That must have been what I had in mind. But in 2004 they moved to Washington, DC.
I thought it was only ever the Jays. I don't remember the Expos being in Montreal, but again, I don't pay attention to sports. And my Dad's from Toronto. Montreal teams were basically equivalent to the antichrist in my house growing up.
Holy mother was today ever hectic. My BFF was running late, and ended up just meeting me and M at the school. The kids and I ended up rushing like crazy to get to school barely on time. We got there. I nearly passed out from running. I'm so out of shape. And then BFF and I went to my mom's house to look through some Christmas decorations that she's getting rid of. And then we had to rush to pick S up.
I'm sitting. Finally. M is down for her nap, BFF had to run, S is entertaining himself. I should do some cleaning or something. But I have a slurpee and I just want to sit. I'm still not 100%
crimsonandclover, lol again at YH. Is he American? It's hard to believe he is that unaware! That's ok, though kcrkcs, don't worry girlfriend i won't hold it against you! Hehe. To be fair, I'm not a huge baseball fan either, just rooting hard for the Cubs because this is a huge HUGE victory for Chicago. Plus the fact that the team has been through so much, grown up, and been so patient. I'm so proud of them. dizzycooks, oh no, i hope your finger feels better, that sounds awful! kelltothekell, aww hope everything improves, transitions like that can be hard and stressful! scorpioscuba, Chicago is definitely still hyped from last night. I thought it would be dead today but it seems like everyone is still riding the high from last night lol. Tomorrow there will be a huge parade. I'd like to go but it will be just madness.
We went to a MOPS meetup at the library this morning and then to lunch and preschool. DS is still taking steps by himself and getting more confident. He must be super tired because he took an extra long nap this afternoon. DD doesn't nap on T/TH when she has preschool so she really acts out and today was very bad. She ripped out a hinged mirror in the bathroom, screamed for candy and soda, pushed her brother and threw his clothes in a full bathtub. My mom was over because I had to get a lot of things ready for the MOPS meeting tomorrow and I almost asked her to go home because I was so embarrassed. Needless to say I did not have to fight DD at bed time, she went down without question. Tomorrow should be better, I hope.
Happy Friday!! We have swimming today and are going to do a zoo trip since the weather is amazing! My general to do list is a bit crazy, but I'm hoping to get it done. We are starting errands shortly. Dd3 has been sleeping so much better. Just one wake up motn. Putting her down has gotten worse, she is awake, but needs to nurse right before I put her down. Oh well I guess.

Happy Friday! We had tons of rain last night which has really cooled things off here and it almost feels like Fall. Finally!! I'm off today and I go in to volunteer in DS's class soon. Then hopefully I can get a run in after if it stays cool enough.
DD is just changing in leaps and bounds it feels like lately. She is creeping along furniture, crawling everywhere and just so fun. She can full on crawl into DS's playroom.....fast. So I need to figure out a solution to keep her out. Too many little things that fit in a babies mouth. 😳

I dropped him off at daycare for the first, and only, time this week. There was a notice in his cubbie that he is ready to move to the next room. The next room is for crawling/walking babies under 18 months. It has more of a scheduled day with outside time and more structured activities. I knew this was coming, but I didn't realize it's time.
In a stunning display of emotion that I am not used to having, I cried on the drive from daycare to work because of this.
silverspoon - awww, big hugs! They don't stay little for long My babysitters says that kids are still babies until they turn 3, so I use that as my rule of thumb! icequeen - you DD's tantrum sounds epic - I'm glad your Mom was there to help you out a bit! crimsonandclover - in you DH's defense, I have always thought that calling it the "World Series" was a bit exaggerated - lol! But that makes it no less special!
My nephew who goes to college right down the street from us is coming over for dinner tonight. He is a sweet, nerdy young man. We are going to make spaghetti and meatballs for him, and sing happy birthday afterwards since his birthday was on Halloween. I'm looking forward to it!

Falling slush is predicted for the next few days (i.e. rain/snow mix). While I'm excited to see the girls' excitement when it starts to snow, it sounds nasty and makes me want to just curl up with a blanket and a book.
DD2 threw a fit *again* going to bed, like she does every night with me and many nights with DH, and DH and I ended up having a spat about how to handle things. It's ok now, but still. Blah.
It has been unseasonably warm here the last 2 days. Like, 30 degrees above normal. H has a friend coming over tonight after work to practice for a tournament they're entering. I'm not overly thrilled. I was going to ask him to go get a few things after he got home. Now I'm going to have to see if he'll pick up the urgent stuff on his way home. Blah.
On a brighter note! M's impetigo is almost completely cleared up, and whatever was wrong with her finger is mostly gone.
On one hand S is being very good about following the restrictions we've put on his Halloween candy. No real complaints about not being allowed to eat as much as he wants. On the other hand, he's been much more whiney than usual. Everything is setting him off lately. I have one idea what is going on with him. I'm losing my cool

The cabin of 14 people is turning out to be fun. Exhausting, but not as bad as I was expecting.
This Midwest style of eating is killing me, though! I mean, how many processed meats can you eat in one day?? I think there has been sausage served at least three times today.
I thought we were going to do FFFC? Here's mine - when I lived in Chicago (for a few years after college) I cheered for the White Sox. Sorry ladies.
Here's another one: H needs more sleep than me, we both acknowledge this fact. I usually try to respect this need and I understand that it's just part of who he is, but sometimes, like today, it annoys me to no end. Like, I am way more productive than he is because he has to spend so much time sleeping.
I'm getting the munchies. H is holed up in the basement playing Warhammer with his friend. I could raid S's Halloween candy. But those teeny bags of chips are just not satisfying.
LOL tinydancer, you sound like you've been just bursting to tell us this on the designated FFFC day, haha! Awesome My mom didn't do shit, 14joa31, she actually gave her candy and soda at one point.

TMI question ahead....those of you who had vaginal deliveries: do you ever still feel sore down there? Kind of like you just gave birth a few days ago? I still get that soreness once in awhile and always if I've been standing for long periods of time. Not sure if this is normal or not. 😔

I don't think that's normal. I'd definitely bring it up with your doctor
Is it really too much to ask that I get a few hours by myself once in awhile to do something fun? Because it certainly seems like it. I've had a lot of time without the kids lately, but it's all been helping my mom with the trailer, or recovering from surgery.
I told H last night that my mom wanted my help again tomorrow and he goes, "that'll be nice, you'll get some time away from the kids". Yes. I will. But I'll be helping my mom pack and set up for her moving sale. Not exactly my idea of fun.
Lollipop, I definitely feel you on not being able to do anything fun. I think it's definitely something you are entitled to and can plan in advance so no one is taken aback or left scrambling. If I want to see a friend for dinner I usually plan it a month in advance. Doesn't happen often but it's enough for me. Sunday afternoons the kids go to my mom's, no questions asked, and I do what I need/want to do. Sometimes there are exceptions but it's pretty consistent for the most part. I highly encourage you to talk to your family and friends about letting you have some personal time. NellieOleson, oh no sorry that the midwest diet is not ideal for you! What are you guys used to eating? silverspoon, awwww I know it's crazy how fast the time is flying. But you have a lot of things to look forward to, too I just can't believe I'm already planning his 1st bday party. dizzycooks, yay for better sleep for DD3, we're doing better too! One or sometimes two wake ups. crimsonandclover, sorry you and YH had an argument. Hopefully you can get on the same page again this weekend. scorpioscuba, I'd talk to your OBGYN. Doesn't sound right to me.
Today was pretty relaxing. I'm not feeling great though. Looks like the nasty cold bug hit me finally. My throat/voice is so raspy and jacked up. The cleaning lady came this morning and we went to music class. DH came home late morning so we just hung around the house and played with the kids. I took DD to Walmart with me and DH made spaghetti. I also have my first PP period. BRUTAL. It's been going for a solid week and no signs of letting up. Gahhh. Go away.
Today was good. Dd3 totally rolled with no crib nap and was so sweet. She crawled several times up on all 4s and it was adorable! She's going to get the hang of it. I really thought she was a belly scooter for life. I baked those pumpkin chocolate muffins 14joa31 and they are even better than I remember. How did your bake sale go?
icequeen I'm still waiting for mine over here. Not looking forward to it at all. (But do you ever?)
Honestly I am relieved. Since I have IF I was worried that not having it would mean even more problems down the road for when we start trying again. I guess for me this is one less thing to worry about lol.

I only had 3 periods between dd2 and dd3. It's been a long time. I have if history too. I hadn't considered that actually.
Today was so long. By the time H got home from work all I wanted to do was curl up somewhere and hide until tomorrow. But we went out for supper. I went a little crazy and ordered dessert, and now my stomach is upset, it was WAAAAY too rich for me. Now the kids are in bed, H is playing a video game, and I'm deciding if I just want to go to bed, or if I want to hang out with H.
