3 more sleeps until we are in our new house. Yaaaaaaaay!
C and I are officially on the couch now. He won't even touch the PNP without screaming. Thing I am most excited about: definitely having our own beds/rooms.
agm04 I am getting anxious for you. I hope to hear something good from you soon. Praying you are all ok.

aggiebug hope your last 3 nights go by quick and everyone returns to normal sleeping habits (or maybe sleeps even better?) once you're in your house. It took E about 3 weeks to get used to her new room when we moved but she also had new sibling so hopefully it's a little easier for S.
Speaking of sleep, I had J on the schedule of going to bed when DH and I did but she was starting to get really cranky in the evening so I tried putting her down earlier this weekend. It has pretty much been a disaster. Friday night she just didn't want to fall asleep, Saturday night she went down easier but then woke every 2 hrs, and last night she went down pretty easy but decided she was up for the day at 4:45 after 3 wake ups. At least E is finally sleeping well.
Working from home today. So very tired. The boys have been trading wakeup back and forth so I get very little sleep. I need to go back to waking DH up MOTN for V's wakeup, but he is all about mom lately so he just screams for me.
agm04 thinking of you and I hope you and your family are safe
Brew at the zoo was fun! We ubered so we didn't have to choose a DD. Yesterday we had friends over for a few hours. They have a son A's age and a 9 month old. Their son is very baby-like compared to A. They still give him a sippy (which was basically a bottle) of milk at a certain time...that's weird right? Also we had preseason football on in the background and she said she never puts the tv on. She's a sahm with two kids. She is a prisoner to naps (she never leaves the house). How does she fill the day?!
Today I am still feeling icky with my cold... maybe I'm just not resting and recovering like I should be. This is lingering too long for my liking.

kartish hope you get some better sleep soon dreemkin sorry you still feel bad! I don't turn my TV on during the day either. I sort of hate TV noise, TBH. DH usually turns it on after G goes to bed, and those 2-3 hours of tv noise is about all I can take.

DH and I looked at two houses during his lunch break. We liked them both but both have pretty big things missing from our checklist. We're in no rush to move so we are holding and praying for direction and seeing what happens.
I'm doing a declutter challenge with a group of friends. This week is the kitchen, and I'm not going to have time to get started until Wednesday. Tomorrow I'm chauffeuring my ILs and grandmother-IL to doctor's appointments.
Looks like my trip to Texas will probably be cancelled this weekend. Thankfully my BFF's apartment and the house they just closed on last week are both dry, but there's flooding in her city & lots in the town her mom lives in, and her mom is throwing the baby shower.

dreemkin, E still gets a straw cup with milk after she puts her pajamas on and she usually asks for one in the morning, it's just part of her routine - although I am thinking we need to drop that cup at bedtime before we attempt night potty training. She does use regular cups or drink from a water bottle otherwise, I hadn't really thought about it we just think of those as her "milk cups".
lilyelayne when we started looking to move we were looking at listing online for months, then started driving by them to check out the neighborhoods, then went to a few open houses, before we actually went to look at houses with a realtor. We did end up buying the very first house we saw with the realtor but there is no way we would have moved that fast if we hadn't done all that other research first. Unless you're in a super competitive market or have an offer on your current place pending there's no reason to rush it!
lilyelayne I never have the tv on just to have it on but we do watch disney movies and or pbs shows on Amazon (Daniel Tiger, wild kratts...) if we are home the whole day. My girls are not big nap takers either so I don't have a lot of downtime for house chores. Sometimes that's rest time for them and work time for me. It's interesting how people operate differently though!

DS has sippy cups for water that he takes to school or has around the house. He gets one in bed because sometimes he wakes up thirsty (I know it's going to make night training hard). Milk is usually in a mug or little plastic cup. Or one of my travel mugs because they're obviously his and not mine, and for milk not coffee.
lilyelayne I did a lot of looking on Zillow both for houses where we wanted to be and fantasy houses to see what there was. We started looking 6 months before we planned to buy. I hear you on the work part. Ours needs more work than anticipated and that's probably true for anything other than a new build.

I'm a big fan of the 40 bags 40 days declutter. It's all about seal spaces so if you do one thing a day it's easy to get to bc it's very small. I'm doing one right now. It's taking a bit longer but it's all good lol
