The baby decided she was ready to be up around 4:50 this morning. She faked me out and I thought I was going to be able to get another 40 minutes of sleep around 5:15, but she decided that no, she was awake and ready to play. At least bed time is getting better but she's still only sleeping 3 hour stretches at night.

E's latest obsession is the song Shake it Off. We watched Sing and for some reason that song is what stuck, so now she asks to listen to Shake it Off and runs around in circles screaming "Shake it Off" when we play it for her.

dmorgendorffer sorry for the early wake up. At least you could Shake It Off for an energy boost ;-)

Nothing big here today. It's my grandmother's birthday today so we'll drive to town for supper tonight.

Bible study starts next week. G will go with me this year to be in the toddler class. I hope he likes it; he's not been in that kind of class setting yet.

G is getting really good at doing different voices for different toys or whatever he's pretending to be. It cracks me up.

dmorgendorffer sorry for the rough morning.

I am home today and trying to figure out whay I can do this early to get ready for our trip. We are driving to Wisconsin next Wednesday to visit my grandparents and hopefully my dad and brother also. It's too early to pack, but I could probably clean out the van and put some toys aside.

[dmorgendorffer]

kartish start making a list of everything you'll need so that when it is time to pack it's easier? +1 to cleaning the car, its also nice to start out a long trip in a clean car.

How Anna feels about naps:

How I feel about naps ending:

[dmorgendorffer]

Oh dreemkin, thats sad and also makes me terrified for when E decides she's done with napping. She's still taking a two hour afternoon nap and its pretty much the best part of the day.

My kids may not sleep at night but they love a nap!

Dear A,

[dreemkin]

dmorgendorffer sorry about the sleeping woes! The girls love Sing too!
lilyelayne hbd to you're Gma! How are you doing? I seemed like you were in a funk before and quiet on here.
kartish could you pack some things you know you won't need til the trip? Diapers, travel toys, etc...

Today was N's first day of totschool. She was like a pro, being that it's her second year there. She has one different teacher. What I was not prepared for was how sad A was that we "left N there". She burst into tears in the car saying that she didn't want to leave her sister and that she wanted to stay and wait for her. She was breaking my heart saying she missed her sister 😢 I hope she learns soon that this will be nice momma/A time!!

[aggiebug]

Drive by. Life is still hectic. It should settle once my parents leave Friday.

House is great, boxes are fewer, dreemkin I have no idea what style it is bahaha.

I think S is I inching towards dropping her nap and I am about to cry too. She is starting to act like a threenager too, you can hold off on both of those for as long g as you want little one.

[mishka29]

Monday was a holiday. I had Tuesday off. I called in sick today. Lol

Tomorrow is dd1's first day of kindergarten. She wants LO to come with us to drop her off.

Just finished binge watching the last seasons of game of thrones. Drama!!!

I posted my cat again for rehoming and got someone who is interested. So far I'm not sure about this person, and it basically turned into me questioning her and her intentions in wanting my cat! Lol. I'll see what she is like when she comes to see her.

[dreemkin]

mishka29 I loved this season but I think they should have put a lot more into it. How is it all going to happen in one season?!?!

[seamonster]

Potty training update -- it may be like naps where he'll do it at school for months before he'll do it at home. It's a start?

Fighting with my youngest sister about her lack of progress on a job. My other sister is edging toward kicking her out to force her to do something. I'm more disappointed in how much potential and how many opportunities she's wasted. She's not unemployable, but she looks that way on paper right now.

Hilarious! Lol

Bc I binge watch I feel like it was a lot crammed into 6 episodes. But I haven't read the books so not sure what's coming next and how much needs to be crammed in. No spoilers!!!

[kartish]

Ya, I didn't get anything done yet. V is on one today. He either wants all my attention or is being a pest to A so I can't leave him alone on the floor to play. But I did make a list @dmorgendorffer!

Although V did take a two jour nap today. He was fighting naps for a while but I kept pushing them and he is back at them this week, so there may be hope dreemkin and aggiebug.

But I had to fight with the irrigation water and that took up all my nap freedom. It was a pain, but then two hours later the yard was completely full again! Someone must have missed opening their gate and so we we are at the end ours is always open, so it just flowed in. Crazy!

[seamonster]

kartish yay for naps.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin thanks. Life's improving. This declutter challenge I'm doing is really helping. DH and I had some really productive conversations re: budgeting which also helped. My sister is back from the desert & therefore back in the land of cell service so I'm super pumped about that.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug like for great house not the toddler attitude.

seamonster at least he's using the potty somewhere? Hope your sister finds some motivation.

[aggiebug]

Yeah I am holding onto a prayer. While she is fighting sleep it's more she is awake until 10-11 at night if she naps too late.

[seamonster]

mmarie I saw your update on HIH. Stay safe on your travels back to FL. T&Ps for you and your family.

[dreemkin]

mishka29 my H read the books and said they are already way off course from the show. Plus, the last book is still to be released. They are on different story paths so I'm not sure what the author (who is also very involved with the show) is doing... it'll be interesting! It just feels like a lot to wrap up in one season.

mmarie how is your sister?

aggiebug glad you love the house!

Dear A,

I wish it was this simple lol. Why can't kids reason like adults...geesh! 😉

[mmarie]

My sister is not good. They switched her to hospice today. Without the continuous dialysis I don't expect her to make it very long. I'm back in Florida. Just got to their house actually. She did get her dialysis today though so we may have a couple good days with her.

Oh mmarie I am so sorry. And to be in FL where everything is so stressful at the moment with the storm about to hit. I am praying for y'all

[kartish]

mmarie so very sorry to hear the update, I hope you get those good days with your sister. Praying for your sister, you and your family.

[lilyelayne]

Hugs mmarie. Praying for good days. I'm glad you are with her, and I hope y'all are safe from the storm.

[seamonster]

mmarie I'm glad you get a little more time with her. I'm sorry she's been switched to hospice.
