Thankful Friday 11/4 ~ Survival Edition

[oldbaylover1024]

We all know what's coming... daylight saving time.

TGIF!

Are you prepared for the weekend? Maybe you've got big plans. Like buying an OK to Wake! Alarm Clock for your kid... FFFC: I looked at them today on Amazon. $26 and Prime eligible in case you're wondering.

I hope you had a great week at work. If you did, tell us about it. If not, tell us about it...

Regardless, we're here for you.

So tell us what you're thankful for to keep the mood up!

Annnnd go!

I'm thankful for you, oldbaylover1024. I love your gifs ever Friday.

I'm thankful that I survived traveling and shipping for a bridesmaids dress yesterday with W in tow.


I'm thankful that W is getting dedicated at church Sunday and almost all our family is coming! This will be the first time I've seen my family since June.

And I'm going to leave your with this because, Nemo.

I am thankful that our bedtime plan for the bigs worked! I moved bedtime, wake up, and breakfast back every night by about 15 minutes leading up to Fall Back. Their OK to Wake clock goes on at 7 (oldbaylover1024 I adore that thing, FFSC: we own two and keep one where DD1 rests to time her quiet time in addition to the one in the big girls' shared room). They were up at 7:03 this morning. I went to bed on time last night. I did not sleep straight through, but since the littlest is a late sleeper I actually slept in!



I am so, so thankful that DH's foot is back to where it was before surgery. No, it's not what we'd hoped would happen (but maybe it will still get there!), but he's functioning again. I realized I'd been so busy I'd forgotten how to play with my kids. Tonight we had a good bit of hanging out on the floor doing stuff time and it was great.

I am grateful for the Rock 'n' Play. I kind of hate using it because DH hates using it and I worry it will make DD3's from-birth flat spot on her head worse, but DD3 has a nasty cold and it is a life saver.

I am grateful that even though DD2 skipped her nap today for the first time ever she made it to a decent bedtime without a total meltdown. I am also grateful to whomever invented quiet time for when kids stop napping.

I am grateful that I love my kids' clothes and have so much fun with dressing them. DD1 started outgrowing 5T and DD2 started outgrowing 2T both this week and I am so sad packing all the cute stuff away...

megrae12 - I hope the dedication went well today. I'm sure W was adorable! Enjoy your time with family

gratefulgirl - So glad to hear YH's foot is doing well! What wonderful news! And I may have to get this clock LOL


I'm thankful the weekend is over. I had a baby shower on Saturday and spent the entire time being compared to woman who is naturally about, oh, 6 sizes smaller than me (she's SUPER petite - like a 0). It was not great for my already poor body image. Eh... it's over. And she looked stunning and glowed! So happy for her. They struggled and went through quite a journey so I'm thrilled all is well with baby and mom!

Got a ton done around the house today and yesterday. Feeling very productive.

The Ravens beat the Steeler so that's always great news

Dreading work tomorrow. We've been slow and all I wanna do is call out and get some errands done. But alas, the bills need payin'!
