So close tgrimes1980, so close! Sounds like you could have had a perfect night! Say hi to the beast for me and hopefully M starts feeling better today.
I fell asleep on the couch last night before the Badger game even started. We lost, but I heard it was an awesome game that even went to OT! Sad I missed it, but at this point in my life, sleep will always win! H is working today and my sister and brother are going to my parents house because we're all bored, so we will head there too at some point. My dad mentioned 2pm , but that's during nap time. Sorry dad, looks like you will get us a lot earlier than that. Thankfully parents are awesome and never turn a kid away!

C is supposed to be napping but he's in his crib talking to himself and staring at me. I'm about to tag daddy in so I can go shower. It's supposed to rain all weekend so I'm not sure what we're doing. Nothing exciting as usual.
Oh man tgrimes1980, that sucks. Im still cleaning O's car seat from last weekend. The smell gets slightly less each time I clean it so I'm just hoping if I do it enough, we won't have to get a new one.
We had a bad night last night. Such is life these days.
Our goal is to get the house ready cause we have friends coming to our house next weekend. I'm already stressing about it because of how poorly E has been going to bed. I'm not going to be a good host and they are my friends. I would reschedule if they weren't flying here. I hope we have some miracle good nights while theyre here.
MH is such an asshat. That's the tl;dr if you want to skip the below.
DS goes to gymnastics on Tuesday mornings but his class last week was snowed out so they told us he could make it up during the Saturday morning class. So on Tuesday I texted H asking if he wanted to take DS to the 9:15 class today and he enthusiastically responded yes.
Fast forward to 8:58 a.m. today and the man is still snoring next to me. So I woke him and was like "are you just going to take him another Saturday or...?" And he jumps up and starts ranting about how he didn't know the class was so early and if he'd known he would have set an alarm, blah blah blah.
I got pissed and said "I absolutely told you what time it started; why would I leave that detail out?" He said "no, you just said Saturday morning!" Seriously bro? I said, "well if that's true, could you have maybe thought to ask me? Don't try to pin this on me!" From which he immediately started to backpedal, "I'm not pinning it on you," etc. Yah, dude, you were.
We ended up getting DS up and out the door by 9:10 but the place is at least 15 minutes away so he ended up just taking him somewhere else to get some energy out. But seriously, that wasn't a fun way to start the day. I hate that he is so defensive and mean when he knows he screwed up. Especially because this was really not a big deal. But his gut reaction is always to try to blame me first. I'm over it.

I'm really surprised how well O handled this sickness bc I feel like shit! But I don't want to stay in the house all day so MIL is going to watch O and I'm going to go shopping for some sexy clothes! I realized on my anniversary that I own nothing sexy. Nothing. Wish me luck!
And let me guess, dashook, if you had reminded him say last night, he would be all, "I know! I said I would do it. Stop nagging me!" At least that would be my H.
dashook sorry for the rough start to your day. Hope your H is in a better mood when he gets home (preferably with a breakfast treat or coffee for you).
We are taking the kids to the beach for the afternoon. There's a ferry, and a restaurant with a pirate ship-themed playground (sounds hokey but thefood is really good, and we can actually enjoy our meal while the threenager plays). Tonight we're meeting my parents for pizza. So I'm basically just eating today.
We did stay up to watch the games last night; DH's team won, as did mine (sorry, tjanca22!)...it went into OT and the game-winning shot was pretty amazing. So now our teams are facing each other in the Elite 8 tmrw. DH and I may be speaking through DS for the day
vinolove, ugh,I'm sorry J had a tough time with her vaccinations. Hopefully you can both catch up on some sleep this weekend. LizInFL that pirate playground sounds awesome! My DS would love something like that.
Any other girl moms have a dress eater? Whenever I put D in a dress, she won't stop pulling it up to put it in her mouth. The extra fabric is irresistible to her I guess lol!
Another rough night here, more for me than L! I am not dealing well with him not in our bed, but it makes me feel silly that I'm losing sleep over this. goldenlove3, L is talking to himself too!
LizInFL, no hard feelings on the game! I hear it was pretty amazing going into OT and then at the end again for you guys. I was not expecting to make it this far in the tourney because of Villanova and our season was so up and down!

Morning ladies! tgrimes1980 - I have totally been considering getting a Merlin. Glad it's working for you! danib - feel better soon. Ugh not cool Mr. dashook. My H tries to sometimes pull that crap too. Not happening- if you screw up you should own it! vinolove you are so brave! I still haven't travelled more than 3 hours in the car with our 3year old - this needs to change! cookswithwine9 - I just went shopping and got a bunch of new clothes. It has been a game changer for my self confidence. Enjoy yourself!
Pretty regular night here. One wake up at 4 am. I would love to get to STTN soon but with DS1 this stage went on until about 9 months. Heading down to my sisters house today to get the cousins together. Also need to make a special trip to Target at some point this weekend with DS1. He is almost potty trained now and I promised him a new Lego set when we get all the way there!
vinolove I don't think that's too crazy. But I'm all for stuff like that. If 4 hours suck to get a week of fun and family time, the payoff is worth it.
I'm planning a week long vacation to SIL's place, for the end of May. This includes a flight, I think I may be crazy to travel with 2 kids on my own...someone stop me...or it'll make a great live blog week.... I may have lost all common sense.
I just flew with my 2yr old and 4.5 month old to Texas and drove the state last week. You can do it. Honestly the worst part was the flight home and that was because it was the toddlers nap time after a week of short naps and late nights so she was a mess. But we made it, I don't have to see those travelers again and may I suggest ring pops

Me! Since its warm I've been putting C in dresses lately, and she loves nothing more than to gnaw the hem.

Yeah, the game really could have gone either way! Y'all were up in the first half, then we came back, and then we were up in the second half and y'all caught up and pushed it into OT. It was a great game! We lost one of our best players a few weeks ago so I'm really shocked we made it this far, too.
vinolove may the force be with you. I'm taking the kids to Maine in June solo (flying), and will probably drive them up from VA in Aug. Crazy, possibly, but as someone else said, I can put up with a stressful few hours for a week or two of vacation bliss.

dashook It must be a man thing because H is the same way. His first reaction if something doesn't go right is to blame me somehow. Or he tends to just say things to me in a dickish way. I've had to call him out on it a few times so I think he's trying to be better about it. Still pisses me off though.

The 3 yo doesn't nap anymore, so that's definitely a plus. I plan on wearing Julia once i check her stroller. That's probably the most I'm worried about is making sure she is good, from check in to getting her stroller back. Thoughts?
And ring pops for the other passengers? 😉
Yeah I wore him through the airport, we actually didn't even take a stroller. Frankly this is the best age to travel IMO as they aren't mobile/ newly mobile so they are generally content being held. We nurse on the way up and they way down to help with ears and then if you are lucky it's nap time or you can keep them happy on your lap with a few small toys or friendly passengers nearby.
And lol I think the passengers around us, especially the one in front of S deserved more than just a ring pops on that flight. That ring pop though, it's what finally calmed her down and finally put her to sleep.

hahaha. As much as I enjoyed my trip it was bliss getting home in many ways. I told H being away really magnified the chaos of the evening grind.

Haha. Agreed, there's a lot to be said for being in your own home/routine, esp. with little ones. But I'll be leaving 100 degree weather in FL for 60s/70s in Maine, so I can put up with some chaos for that! 😜

We've had a busy Saturday! Lillian slept until 7:40 so that was a nice change. DH brought home breakfast tacos after his run. Then we did a bunch of yard work. Trimmed the front rose bushes, mowed, consolidated compost, watered flowers, and we got stakes to help our baby trees stand up straight. We did some Target shopping and got Lillian a new swimsuit. It's pretty cute. I also picked a color to paint our backsplash and found some time to read. Now we are having lasagna for dinner. I'm going to make blueberry muffins tonight so we can have them tomorrow for breakfast.
Lilah tried some sweet potato last night and today. She is unimpressed. Lillian didn't really get into solid food until 6-7 months. So I guess we'll just keep offering periodically until she decides she's interested. She likes holding the spoon at least.
Has anyone tried Califia Farms cold brew coffee? I really have been enjoying it. It's making me wonder if I should try making my own cold brew coffee with almond milk.
ClassyMrsA C was the same way with her cereal/banana concoction this week--not overly interested. It kind of seemed like she may still have a tongue thrust going, not sure. B was tongue-tied so I don't have much to compare her 'normal' tongue to!
We just got home from meeting my parents for pizza and wings at this great Neopolitan-style pizza place. DH already put the threenager to bed--he was exhausted, although I can hear him singing--and I'm nursing the baby and hoping to put her to bed shortly, as well. I think we all need an early night after staying up late and a busy-ish day.

LizInFL Lilah wasn't pushing it out, but she did not want to eat it. She'd take a tiny taste, chew a bit, and then refuse any more. Shrug. Whatevs. She'll get there.
My mom and I had such a fun night. B is really in love with her so he was playing with her and sitting with her all night. It was really cute. I was able to give J a much needed bath and take my time putting him to bed. Then my mom and I drank a bunch of wine, watched old episodes of this is us, and just reminisced about when my brother and I were growing up. It's been so long since her and I have had one on one time. She's seriously like my best friend. My H laughs at me because her and I talk everyday. But she's the best. And has done so much for me. I hope I can be half the mother that she is one day.
I love this. I get along with my mom and I love her but we aren't close that way. Her blatant favoritism towards my sister growing up kinda stifled that. Plus she lives 5 hours away. But I hope with all my heart that D and I will be like you and your mom someday.
LizInFL, if you are willing to share, where in Maine? You can even give next big town... DH's family live near Damariscotta which is what they call midcoast Maine lol! I love going up in the fall as they have a pumpkin festival and a fair! Just a great time in cooler weather.

I know Damariscotta, it's not far from us! My parents have a lake house in Camden, so we're on the midcoast, too. We love it up there. I haven't been up in the fall in ages but I love the leaf change. Maybe this year...
