Monday came back

[pghtruelove]

I told J last night before bed that Pappy(my dad) would be coming over today. She's now sitting in her bed saying "Happy Pappy" over and over again.
My dad and I are building a bookcase, like from scratch, this week. Hoping to get Jules outside and to the park today, it's supposed to get up to 40!

Oh hey stomach bug. Long time no see. Based on how quickly you struck and how sick I am, you must have really missed me.
So far I'm the only one sick. It started over 12 hours ago so FX no one else gets it. H has been amazingly helpful and took the day off to hang out with O.
So today is staying in bed and trying to keep water in my system. At least I didn't have to use sick leave or write sub plans!

[erbear]

Feel better, jessila!

I have some errands to run today and I have craft night with mom's club tonight if I wind up going. I'm working all week this week, so I might just stay home and spend some time with H.

[jillywilly]

Feel better, jessila, budders and V!

H has a holiday, and I took the day off. DS is in day care and I'm waiting for H to get back from getting his hair cut so we can go out to run a ton of errands, do some shopping, and enjoy a child-free lunch together. Its so weird to have the house to myself, and I'm really looking forward to a whole adult only day with H. Also, DS has been continuing his super sleeping (it must be a growth spurt or something), and slept until 7:30! What a great start to the week

[pghtruelove]

I'm debating on if I want to cut Js hair or continue to let it grow. It's getting pretty crazy.

Today is normally a grandma morning for C while I head into the office/shop for a couple of true work. But since we were included in the ice storm that hit last night/ this morning, C and I are staying home this morning. We might head out this afternoon if the roads appear to be better. (That would really only be to run a few errands and just get out of the house.)
Hope all of you that are feeling under the weather start feeling better soon!

Today is chores lounge chores relax chores. SO and I are both home and we kept LO home from daycare. We'll head over to my mom's house in the afternoon, all the cousins will be there. Probably pizza! Because thats what we do lol. Hoping to get a walk around the neighborhood in if its not too too cold.

Feel better budders, budders jr, and jessila!

Just dropped DS off at preschool so DD and I are just chilling in the van waiting for the doors to unlock for yoga.

I have to share this. A photographer friend of mine loved this photo I took of the kids on the beach so much she asked if she could clean it up a bit for me just to give it that little bit extra to blow it up, because she was like "you have to get that picture on your wall!!"
I'm in the early stages of learning basic photo editing so it was so cool to have that extra professional touch done to it just because she wanted to play around with it!

DH and I have off, so we kept the kids home in honor of MLK day. I've been talking to LBB about Dr. King and equality. DH is showing him the dream speech right now. On the one hand, it's nice that LBB doesn't "get it" because he has friends from all backgrounds. On the other hand, I think it's really important to keep drilling it into him since he's about as privileged as they come.

[periwinkledaydreams]

billyhorrible thats awesome that youre taking the time/effort to educate LBB about Dr. King and the reasons for MLK Day! I think a lot of parents hold off because the reality is too heavy for little ones, but theres all sorts of age appropriate resources out there! My niece came home from Kindergarten Friday and told my SIL she doesnt have school monday because of "King Marthids Day".. and as cute and hilarious as that is, I do want to make sure she knows why she's actually home today!

ETA with SIL permission of course

PSA - old navy had some pretty good sales right now. I picked up a big bag for LO for next year for $30. Mine has Christmas shirts for 99 cents!

Freezing rain is my least favorite form of precipitation. Luckily, the roads weren't terrible this morning.

J started waving bye recently, and is saying "this" and "that" a lot all of a sudden. He also successfully mimicked me signing "more please" last night.

I ended up rocking J to sleep last night and fell asleep for an hour or so. He has no issues taking naps at daycare or going to bed during the week when I'm at work, but every weekend lately he fights his naps and fights going to bed. Anyone have any ideas?

Long weekend almost over. LO has been sick the entire time but it has been an extra snuggly less wild than normal kind so i feel bad but ive also kind of enjoyed it. We're all ready for him to be back to normal now though.

[baytosa2013]

Today has been the worst day and I just want bedtime to be here. Not like it matters since she will be up at least 3-4 times tonight. She's sick, I'm sick, I was trying to work today while she whined every 5 effing mins, my DH is being an ahole, I'm pmsing something fierce and I've already cried once. I'm hanging on by a string and pouring the biggest glass of wine I can find before I check the fuck out at 8pmish. /rant over

Oh and also someone got shot in front of the elementary school in my neighborhood overnight. It's around the corner from my house..he's dead. I'm moving for reals now.

Enjoy your wine. Is there something you can do just for yourself tonight to decompress a little? A bath? Trashy TV? Give yourself a manicure? Meditate?

Thanks girl. I'd love a bath and might try to take one. I definitely need space from everyone tonight...even myself lol

[jillywilly]

Hugs, baytosa2013. Agree - a bath, wine, and chocolate normally do the trick, coupled with early bedtime for mom. Hope you're able to unwind tonight!

[erbear]

Oh man, hugs, baytosa2013!

[shahoi]

tiffbot that is such a great photo!!

Hugs baytosa2013. I hope you are able to get in some "you time" tonight.

My kid was in a piss poor mood this evening and cried so hard (because she wanted H's phone and he told her no) that she vomited. I think it was the worst tantrum that she has thrown thus far. Nothing after that would make her happy. Hopefully she sleeps it off!

[tiffbot]

Hugs baytosa2013. Hope today is a better day. How scary about the shooting.
