Morning. Counting down the hours until I can go pick up DS...33 hours to go. It has been the longest couple of days. Going to Toys R Us today with my parents to hopefully buy his birthday gift. Have a good day, ladies!
Hoping to get Charlotte's room painted today. I can't wait to move her in her big girl room! I'm taking her to a carnival at a local school later this morning.

Consignment sale day! I bought a bunch of cothes at an average of $2.50 an item, with the single most expensive one being a $4 dress. I don't think this haul was better than previous ones, but I'm still glad I went.
I also shelled out $20 for a handmade wooden doll cradle, and my kid is currently convinced it's for her to sit on.
Sooooo some money well spent, some maybe not so much.

Hi! I just got home from work. I worked a few hours and then went to Wendy's and ate lunch all by myself. It was glorious. G is napping and I am relaxing. After she gets up I will call my dad and stepmom to see if they want to hang out for awhile. It's starting to warm up and feel like spring and I am so excited about it. I feel like winter just goes on forever. I am almost in denial about the warmer temps.
Busy day already. DH took the car in, we took M to gymnastics, I went and picked up my parents from the airport, M had multiple giant meltdowns about not being able to hug the Grover doll my parents brought her during lunch, and now she's finally napping. My parents are napping too and DH is about to go get the car so things will at least be quiet for a little while.
Busy day. I've already taken the car for an oil change, grocery shopped (both with J), made lunch, put J down for a nap, cleaned the master bathroom and now I have laundry on.
DH has... played with J for an hour?
Dude slept from literally the moment I came home last night, so 640 until 730 this morning. And now he's asleep again
He needs to get an oil change in the other car. And if he thinks he's leaving J with me while he does it, he's sorely mistaken.

We had a similar gift meltdown during lunch involving a dinosaur.
So painting C's room has turned into new flooring 😂. My parents bought wood flooring off a yard sale site for $20. New flooring it is. I'll have to aww once it's in.

We went to the mall for a few hours because my dad didn't feel up to hanging out. We shopped and had dinner. I bought some new make up and a romper and I bought an Easter outfit for G. We also bought the Moana soundtrack which I am pretty sure MH and I are more excited about than G is.
M made up a new game tonight. We all get on the bed, she shoves our face into the mattress and says "take nap!!" then almost immediately shakes us and screams "WAKE UP!!!" Idk what got into her tonight but she was next level silly and crazy. At one point though she was rubbing both our backs while we napped. It was precious.
Also, words. Where the fuck did all these words come from???
Hahaha, my M just says "wake!" So she watns you to sleep for 2 seconds and then she screams at us.
J and I went to the park this afternoon while DH finished some painting. Now he's in bed singing to himself. I can't quite make out what he's saying over the monitor but it sounds like "I not sleepy, it's morning time" to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle.
I'm so excited. I bit my nails for the longest time but recently stopped because I don't want M picking up my bad habits. They actually look half decent now so I ordered some things to do some at home manicures. The last time I had color on my nails was my wedding! I can't wait.
Up early with J. I got to "sleep in" yesterday so it's my turn to get up with him today. Of course today he decided to wake up a full hour earlier than yesterday.

Same story here. I stopped biting them around Christmas.
M's Easter outfit. What color tights should I buy? I don't usually like white but idk if pink or gray would work? I likely won't use them if its warm, but I want some just in case.

I have been cleaning for 3 1/2 hours. The condo we live in is only 1,100 square feet. I have only cleaned the first floor. I am doing some serious scrubbing. I tossed and entire black garbage bag of nonsense. And my old couch is sitting outside. Thank goodness it's garbage night.
Every Sunday I vacuum and mop while DH takes DS to the store. My ILs are here doing work outside which I really appreciate. But I wish they would stop walking through my just-cleaned house with dirty shoes. Come on, people!

I'm laying in bed. Tomorrow will be for cleaning the second floor. The rest of today will be for relaxing and the gym. The nice weather is really making me calm and happy.
My mom's influenza B turned into bronchitis and sinusitis she currently doing another breathing treatment at urgent care then being sent home with 6 prescriptions. I feel so bad for her.

I'm beat. Cleaning like a madwoman, moving around furniture and a long walk in the park with the toddler is exhausting. I am sitting on the couch with my feet up because G is in bed.
