[ashiscute]

Achievements: we flew to Disney World as a family of 5!

Challenges: see above

Plans: lots of walking, lots of waiting in line, lots of rides, a lot of chicken nuggets, some princesses, and a few tears.

You: tired but having fun

Qs/Vent: dumb but why is it so expensive?!?! We went to Chef Mickeys today and it was $160 and the youngest was free!

QOTW- playing in the leaves, so easy and yet they have a blast. And having a fire out back.

Achievements: DD has learned how to write the letter H. She's been doing it non stop all week.


Challenges: Keeping DD out of trouble with all the craziness that is going on around here.


Plans for the week? I'm clueless. I don't even know when we're going home yet.


How are YOU doing? Not too well. Father in law came home from the hospital Saturday on hospice, and found out today my sister had a miscarriage.


Q's/Vent? I really wish my in laws were more organized and communicated better.


QOTW- What is your favorite fall activity? So far it has been taking her to the pumpkin patch.

[Deleted]

Achievements: She's doing really good at sitting up on her own and rolling EVERYWHERE. She's no longer able to be contained on a blanket.

Challenges: This election!

Plans for the week? Laundry and making a list of what I need to pack. Last minute clean up and just getting things ready.

How are YOU doing? Up and down. Mental health issues are coming back due to lack of sleep and my doctor is threatening another hospitalization if I can't get more sleep on my own. So that's making me nervous, but I think as soon as this election is over (assuming Trump loses) I'll finally be able to calm down and relax enough to sleep again.

Q's/Vent? I'm about to have to take a 5 month old on a 5 hour plane ride followed by a 4 hour car trip. Give me advice! My sister has everything for her once we get there, so I'm not packing her anything but one outfit as a just in case. So I don't have to worry about that at least, but all this travel is making me nervous.

QOTW- What is your favorite fall activity? (Sorry if it's a repeat, I'm on my phone since we are still out of town) Going for walks!

@auri, I hate to "love" your post, so hugs to you and your family.




@led, try to feed LO (BM/formula by whatever method you use, not actual food) during take-off as it is said to help equalize pressure in the ears. We traveled a lot with LO from the time he was born, so he was use to it, where as every baby is different, so I have no general advice otherwise. Happy travels!

@auri sending many hugs your w and keeping your family in my thoughts

[younglove316]

@auri sending love to you and your family! I'm so sorry.

@led how old is your LO again? We haven't flown yet but I was told to pack snacks, feed at take off and landing, and pick up a new toy so they have the novelty of that for a bit.

[younglove316]

Achievements: I've started a new laundry schedule/system that seems to be working.

DD1 started spelling her sisters name.


Challenges: I'm in a cooking rut and having the hardest time meal planning


Plans for the week? Library today, little gym tomorrow, and then DD2 turns 1 on Sunday and we have her party.


How are YOU doing? Not too bad, starting to not feel as stretched out and working on getting things better organized.


Q's/Vent? My in laws live 5 minutes from us and they haven't seen the girls in almost a month. I'm sick of it always being my responsibility to maintain the relationship.

QOTW- What is your favorite fall activity?
Now that DD1 is old enough, the pumpkin patch and the little activities they offer.

[penguin129]

younglove316 I've been doing the same thing with getting a laundry system in place and getting the house better organizzed in general.

Achievements: I'm alive, I guess :/

Challenges: this country

Plans for the week? yesterday was OT. speech has been canceled for a few weeks bc of some family emergency so at least Tuesday nights won't be so late for a bit. I've been volunteering in DS' classroom W-F. Tomorrow night is literacy night at the school. There's a pizza dinner first & then all sorts of activities in the classrooms, it's usually a fun night. Baseball themed this year. Friday afternoon is some invite to DS' classroom to see them show off their neighborhood they built out of recycled cardboard or something.

How are YOU doing? Meh.

Q's/Vent?

QOTW- What is your favorite fall activity? (Sorry if it's a repeat, I'm on my phone since we are still out of town) probably apple/pumpkin picking & the activities they usually have there. Fall pics are great.

I'm super sick. This is the worst sinus infection I've ever had. They told me I most likely got a virus form the hospital and it turned into the sinus infection Amox for me.
