Technically, its Saturday

[Deleted]

We are scurrying around trying to get our tails on the road. Canada here we come! Please let us in, can't promise we'll leave!

[Deleted]

We are up. I'm sipping coffee while Sesame Street parents. Off to the aquarium today, I'm excited. Happy Saturday all.

I really do not like Big Bird.

I feel hungover this morning. I went to bed at 7 and woke up for three hours MON. Today we have a baby shower for someone at work. I have to bring my girls so I hope they behave! Hailey has been wild, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Enjoy Canada @ceci8876! I'm sad I can't be down there this week to visit.

It's snowing here and my kids decided to wake up even earlier than usual. H was a jerk because I left the porch light on when I got home last night but didn't notice. Ummm I pay the hydro bill so how is that even an issue to him? He's a grump in the mornings.

And today is my last day with a 3 year old. I can't believe he's going to wake up 4 tomorrow, it's just not possible, I swear he was born like yesterday. My baby needs to stay a baby forever.

DS1 woke me at 5:45. Fun times. We have tee ball in two hours, then I'm getting my weekend errands done today since DH leaves for Virginia tomorrow morning.

I made Alivia go to bed early last night so she was up extra early this morning.

So far today I have done 2 loads of laundry from start to put away. Read 13 books. Stuffed diapers. Got dinner in the crock pot. Threw the ball for the dogs. And now we are all dressed and getting ready to take a walk to the mailbox.

Woof. Is it nap time yet?!

Slow down, lady!

My child is currently carrying around an apple core like it is the most precious thing in the world. Kids are so weird.

S is still sleeping but DH and I are up. We are going to Costco and probably the outlets. I would like to get some quality flats from Bloomingdales outlet or Saks off 5th. I treated my self to some Sperry top sider sneakers the other day.

[rayann687]

Have a safe trip @ceci8876!! How long is the drive?

[laurie12820]

Getting my hair cut today! The weather is supposed to be nice again. Hoping to get a walk in before the rain starts this afternoon. We also need to go to the hardware store to get hooks and chain to hang DD1's birdhouse she painted at a birthday party at Michael's.

I'm sad that vacation is ending. It's been so nice to be home with my girls! 48 days until the next one, lol.

We are getting new phone/internet/tv service this am and AB thinks it is the most interesting thing ever. I've never seen her be so still.

[kristhegirl]

I got a pretty new wrap for the tiny baby (Boba) and I think today's the day I give it a spin. At least in the house, because it's gross windy out and no fun to be outside. Stupid wind.

Maybe we'll try a family outing someplace, too, if Elena's teeth aren't killing her. Girlfriend went to bed 30 minutes early last night and conked straight out like she was so grateful we didn't make her stay up, and then actually slept all night.

With a pissed off toddler it feels like an eternity! It's supposes to be about 8 hrs. We are probably halfway through upstate NY now.
Please Reagie, please just take a little nap!

Grocery shopping alone at 7 am. It's like a vacation.

[hereiam]

Ikea was awesome! I had so much fun. Nothing like a van full of friends,shopping,and good food.
I got some stuff for the kids and kids room, a new bath mat, some new towels, and scored at the as is part with 2 pillows and 3 pillow covers for $9. I also got a few other odds and ends and the yummiest cinnamon rolls ever. Now that I know about Ikea I'm starting my list for next time.
Today I'm going to hit up the mom sale when my husband gets home from work. I'm hoping to score a spring/summer wardrobe for DS. I already got long sleeves and pant pieces so I'm looking good for short sleeves, onesies, shorts, sleepers, etc. I'm hoping there's a good selection left by time I get there.
Then the plan is to go through all the kids toys. Happy Saturday!

That's more than I plan on doing all day and I'm not about to have another baby. Go you!

[lotsoflotts]

T has an eye infection, so there went a whole bunch of weekend plans. DH was out of town all week, so it took T a little while to warm back up to him this morning, but now they're coloring together and T keeps asking DH to draw balloons for him to color in. It's sweet

H let me sleep in until 8!

I have a girls day this afternoon. Dinner, 50 shades, and ice cream after. So excited. It's so nice to get out of the house without a kid and be an adult for a few hours!

I had a Boba for Z cause it was great for teeny tiny babies. I wore him in that every second I could.

DH is out of town today and the ILs took DS for the day. I have an entire day to myself. I've managed to waste half the morning so I need to get moving because I have so much to do while the house is empty. But it is so tempting to just sit in the silence....

Where in Canada are you going?!

[lovemyirishtwins]

kristhegirl I had a boba wrap and loved it. It was perfect to the little babies. I liked that I could put the wrap on before going out and then just slip the baby in once we arrived.

Viv got sick so many times last night and this morning. This morning she had a fever. But she started feeling better. So dd1 and I snuck out for pedicures , lunch, and to go to Costco. She is so excited and thinks this is the best thing ever.

[shawnabm1320]

lovemyirishtwins, I hope Viv feels better now. Sick babies are so sad!

We went to Home Depot today (like everyone else in the world). I picked out paint for the dining room which is currently a playroom. And I know what I'm using in the hallway but I have no idea what I want in the kitchen. I wish someone would make these decisions for me.

Do any of you married ladies with student loans file taxes separately from your husbands? My student loan payments are going up from $50 to $230 this year because we filed jointly last year. This is a huge hit for us and now I'm rethinking our plan this year...

I've never heard of this happening - we always file jointly. I'll have to do some investigating.

We do. I pay on an income based scale and will hopefully have the remainder forgiven after 10 years. We did the numbers and this works out better financially in the long and short term.

1) Is the 10 years because of the public service forgiveness? (if so, hats off to you. I have 4 years under my belt from working at a non-profit.. but I have no clue when I am going back to work full time)

2) Does your H need to change any of his payroll deductions since he doesn't claim you as a dependent? Or does that just get handled during tax time?

Is anyone else watching "Big Little Lies" on HBO? The first episode was amazing but I'm wondering if I should read the book first?

I haven't started it yet but I loved the book!! I'm really excited to start the show.

[tcck]

Got to go to target today too!!! But, with Charlotte. Significantly less relaxing. And I had to buy all the Easter stuff. I just had to.
