Muffin Monday

[wineallthetime]

It's Monday and I could really go for a muffin.

[wineallthetime]

L was fine all day yesterday but had a mini puke and 1.5 hour wakeup MOTN, so not sure what's up with that. We have her 1 year appointment and that's it today.

I am at the airport with a 4 pack of muffins that I got at a store last night in case food places weren't opened yet. We were up at 3 am but I'm ready to see my babies. Boarding in 30 minutes. Safe travels wedding.

Morning!

Sorry about L wineallthetime. Hopefully it's over now.

Safe travels kim22 and wedding!

We have the Irrigation system guy coming this morning, and this afternoon B has a speech check-in. Both kids are currently in my bed and B is begging for popcorn (??)

Morning. Kitchen renovation started on Friday and cleaning lady comes today, so basically we need to get out of this house. I'm thinking diner breakfast, which will probably include muffins.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! Back to reality today. I am going to barre class this morning. My dad and step mom flew in for the funeral later this week so we will probably see them this afternoon.

wineallthetime I hope L is feeling better today.

mwhipple77 I saw your post on FB about the skin advisor thing. I've never tried it but now I'm scared to 😬

I like my daily moisturizer but I am in the market for a new night cream, as well. I talked to my dermatologist last time I was in and got some recs, I need to go pick something out.

Morning.

I'm at the dentist with M. It's his first time going back by himself and he went willingly with the technician. He's usually clingy in the mornings, so that was great. He's such a big boy these days. Okay... I have stop again because of the emotions. Damn pregnancy hormones. Lol

After I drop him at school, I'm going for a light workout. It's so nice to be back to my normal schedule.

Well my stomach bug has returned.. but the adults are at work and I managed to get the boys to the sitters. So what should I binge on Netflix today?

The Fall! Might as well spend the day staring at an absolutely gorgeous man....even if he does play a serial killer.

Morning!

Have a safe trip, wedding!

kim22 Sounds like you had a great weekend!

[klongoria11]

chrisy01, you need new coworkers!

[cagoldi]

Crazy at work right now, that's all I've got.

[klongoria11]

I have a 2-day work week before we head to Galveston. I really should get some work done here....

[cagoldi]

mwhipple77 I'm scared to try it now!

Have you ever used a Vitamin C product? I found those seem best for dark circles.

My current daytime product is TruSkin's Vitamin C serum with hyalauronic acid. At night I use Rosehip seed oil (not sure if the brand).

I'm really happy with both.

I think if our lab could talk, she might ask to stay behind with the new family next door when we move. She *loves* their kids. She's taken to waiting at the property line when they come home from school in the afternoons.

Morning. H is not allowed to have cake ever again. We gave him some of his leftover bday cake after dinner last night which was a mistake. He did not want to go to bed and finally fell asleep around 9. Then was up screaming at 2:30. I finally went in around 3 and he was wide awake, wanting to read books and pointing to the door. I eventually just put him back in bed and he finally fell asleep about 10 minutes later. Crazy kid.

calishove I hope dc is better this week

Thanks Sunny41 it was a good drop off so I'm optimistic. I'm still not sure any preschool is right for V.

There's a British House Hunters type show called "Escape to the Country" on Netflix that is really fun to binge watch! If you like documentaries, I just finished "Magnus" on Netflix, which is about chess.

I want to get M some new bath toys for his Easter basket, but not sure what to get him. What toys do your kids love in the bath?

[klongoria11]

lahdeedah88, Cadence likes bath tub tabs (change the water color) and bubble bath. As far as toys, she just takes all of her random little figures in there with her.

Why do you say that? Have you tried others?

There is a huge, long saga about V and preschool. This is our second preschool he's attended and our third attempted preschool. We've also completed a home school preschool program.

It's not that he's a "problem" he is a very mature, well behaved little boy. I'm just not sure preschool is the right move and of course I'm also not sure it isn't an essential experience for him. How can something seem so important and so futile at the same time?

Hi ladies. Typical Monday--work out, take the girls swimming, and drop Maddie off at school. I have an eye exam this afternoon and make that eventually get new glasses for the first time in years.

I need to look into the under eye circle products. I've had dark undereyes since '94.

I rock my under eye circles like they're going out of style. Heroin chic?

Have you tried a Montessori style preschool?

That would be the attempted but not attended preschool. We visited twice.

Maybe being out of school for a few months will help and next fall will be better.

Honestly, Sam's favorite thing to play with is the squeeze bottle thing I took from the hospital after I had Ben (I think it's called a sizth bath?).  He loves to fill it with water then squeeze it on himself.  Over and over again.

We have a tub full of toys and that's what he wants to play with the most.  We did just get those tub crayons that draw on skin or on the walls of the tub and those were fun for a little bit.

In other news, Ben discovered tupperware the other day.

Remind me why we spend money on toys??

I've had undereye circles since November 2013.  Hmmmm... wonder what that correlation is

[klongoria11]

calishove, is it possible they just aren't challenging enough for him?
