I didn't see a Monday thread yet. How is everyone's day going?
The time change is so F*ing with my kids schedules. They both randomly fell asleep at 530pm yesterday and were up at 530am today and now took a nap at 9am while I was driving to take us to a playgroup so now I'm sitting in the care TCFing until they wake up!

Tapatalk booted me out overnight and it took forever for me to figure out my login info. Thankfully we haven't been affected too much by the time change (fingers crossed).
We are heading back home today. A had a blast at the museum and the zoo. I hope the drive back up isn't too bad since we got some snow here last night.
Spent an hour at the peds office. But hopefully C will start feeling better. Mild ear infection in the right ear and shortness of breath/respiratory distress, so we're in a nebulizer ever 4-6 hours as needed. Poor kid would just start to fall asleep then wake up panicking because he was having a hard time breathing. We're currently killing time at home waiting for the pharmacy to call and let me know his prescriptions are ready. Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Just got to work. Up at 6:45 instead of 7:45. I fell asleep for a few minutes while J was watching the Wiggles and woke up to a book on my head. Ate half my lunch on the drive, which I knew I would, which is why I packed over double what I would normally pack.
Not much going on here, just trying to get back into the swing of work. They're finally supposed to start work on our deck today, so I can't wait to get home and see the progress that's (hopefully) been made! We've literally been waiting on one permit or another since early September when we closed on our house to get this rolling, and have been putting off laying sod to get the deck in, so fingers crossed it's all happening now, especially since our window for sod is narrowing quickly!

Trying not to spend too much time on here while at work- have to finish an assignment to have my supervisor review before I leave next week. DH called last night so I got to speak to him for 20 minutes. I also found out he gets to come home for over 2 weeks for Christmas break, so at least this last part of his absence will be broken up into two 3-week intervals. 3 weeks seems much more doable after the 10 it's been. Ahhh, I'm so impatient and there are only 9 days to go. Ok, I'll stop now.
DST didn't affect M yesterday, but today he was up at 4:30! I let him hang out in the crib til 6 though, hopefully he'll adjust. Hope everyone's kiddos adjust to the time change soon!

DD was up an hour early yesterday but made it almost to normal bedtime last night with an awesome nap in the afternoon. She slept until her normal time this morning (6:30ish) so I can't complain.

I'm slaying a to do list and kicking Monday's ass. Floor picked up, vacuuming done, kid down for nap by 10am. Next is laundry. And more caffeine because headache. I promised T I'd let him help me organize the tupperware drawer after nap time...
Happy Monday! We had such a good weekend, the weather was gorgeous and we spent a ton of it outside. It's truly been a beautiful fall so far! But I'm missing the kids today. DS had a shaky drop off, which always bums me out. LO is doing fine with IL's. Thankfully none of us seem to be remotely affected by the time change.
LO's new trick from the weekend is running in place really fast. He's added it to his list of dance moves. Speaking of, what are your kids listening to these days? Both my boys are obsessed with Andy Grammer's Honey I'm Good so we listen to it over. and over. and over.

Super stoked that H just realized he left his phone in the hotel room and we have to turn around. That adds almost 2 hours to our 5-6hr trip home today.
No change in sleep patterns due to the time change here. But it's not like BH is a reliable sleeper to begin with.
GREAT idea. I just checked if our library has the soundtrack and they do not
I stream it on Amazon Prime music. It's on Spotify too which is fine if you're not mobile. I don't like the mobile shuffle because the last few songs have me in tears and I like to know when they're coming.
I'm also pretty sure Amazon has a non parental advisory version.
I'm so happy for you holliberry28! I hope the next nine days fly by! I think I've been affected by the time change more than E. I'm so confused at where we should be in our daily routine that I can't decide if it's better to run errands or do laundry and have E nap sooner.

omg I would be livid! I guess better now than a few more hours into the trip? Either way though, that sucks and I'm sorry
Oh I am, especially since we've wasted a car nap now too.
sabrinaml, I hope C gets some relief soon. periwinkledaydreams, I hope your first day is great!! holliberry28, yay for a 2 week break with your H! I'm so excited for you!!
O and I dropped off my friend at the airport around 10am. Then he slept until 11:15am in the car. Hopefully I'll be able to get him to nap again!? We went to lunch and Target with my sister. The Halloween candy is 75% off. I got fourteen POUNDS of candy for $10. Do not need to buy any more all school year!! Hopefully I'll be responsible and not eat it during planning blocks.
While at lunch O peed around his diaper...again. This is the 3rd time recently. I guess I'll go up diaper sizes next time since I got a case from Amazon yesterday.
Letting him play a bit more then trying for a second nap. There's no way he'll make it to 7:30 from 11:15am. Whatevs. Dh has bedtime because I have Zumba tonight. Not my problem :-)
I was surprised yesterday seeing all of the posts from moms on my Facebook saying the time change messed them up. We all actually slept in a bit late yesterday morning. Gianna only napped for about 15 minutes in the afternoon but was in a good mood all day and then fell asleep just 1/2 an hour early. Apparently she slept in late again today too. And best of all, it was so nice leaving for work in daylight this morning. I've been hating stepping outside in the morning to pitch black skies.
In other news, I had to use a flight credit before it expired so I just booked us another trip to Disneyland in December. We decided after our trip last weekend that we wanted to get annual passes, so that will be our first trip with the passes. We usually only do 1-day park hoppers and just cram everything into 1 day, so I'm excited that we can take our time more when we go now and even just go to the park for a couple of hours when we get into town in the evening. We also have annual passes to Universal Studios, so I think we'll be spending a lot of weekends in Southern California this next year. So we should definitely arrange a Southern California meet up at some point madymoisellemrsdee1982!
Last night a friend and I went to the city for supper, then to a random company event to watch the duelling piano show we want to book for a fundraiser in the spring. Security showed us the way no question, and we got a table to ourselves. We decided we need to get into the party crashing business because it was all too easy lol!
Got C to take a 2 hour nap in his crib, he woke up screaming. Brought him back downstairs and gave him some of his meds and he's passed out on the floor again. Getting ready to call the company that is supposed to be dropping off the nebulizer to figure out when they plan on coming. C is ready for his next albuterol treatment and I think that's why he woke up. He was playing a little more like himself after we got home from the doctor so that's good. He's just ready for round 2.

Albuterol is a steroid so it can makes toddlers hyper/sleeplessness. DS was on that last winter and it had the worst side effects for him
Me during naptime: 1st hour: crazy person doing chores, eating lunch, getting my house straightened up 2nd hour: well he's probably going to wake up any minute so I'll just read for a bit and maybe doze off 3rd hour: is he sick? why is he still asleep? I'll just do one really quick chore since he's definitely waking up any minute...or maybe not even worth it and I'll just eat Halloween candy and cruise social media. 3+ hours: this is literally the first time this has happened And since I told somebody about it, he will surely wake up at any minute.
This is exactly my life.
Side note: I have a 100% serious theory that if I rest/relax during his nap prior to during chores, he doesn't nap. EVERY TIME I say to myself, "I'm exhausted. I'm just going to sit here and catch a quick nap before cleaning _____" I get neither rest or chore done. If I run around that first hour like a maniac cleaning everything I see, he naps like a champ. It's like he's trying to make sure I clean the house.
