Wednesday thoughts

[dreemkin]

Are we still recovering from the holiday? Are we gearing up for another one haha?

My house is still recovering, that’s for sure. We made lots of progress getting it clean and gifts sorted yesterday.

We converted G’s crib to a toddler bed on Christmas. Knock on wood the transition has been smooth!

DH is back at work today, and I’ve got errands to run.

Today our goal is to take off ornaments from our fast dying tree. We still have recovering to do here. Luckily H is off til after the new year. Tomorrow my sister is taking BOTH (!!) the girls for a sleepover. H and I still have to decide what we want to do with all that free time!! I'm thinking a nice dinner out would be delightful - maybe steak! A movie?

lilyelayne that's brave transitioning to a bed over a holiday. Hope it continues to go well though!

The holiday recovered has been added to by the loss of my voice. My mom has the same thing and she is going to the doctor, so I'll see what they tell her before I go myself.

So I'm home instead of at work and V keeps asking me to talk, or to stop talking slow (whispering).

He’s been working toward a big bed via sticker chart, one sticker for getting ready for rest or bedtime without fussing or fighting. Santa put the last 3 needed stickers on his chart - DH’s idea - so we were kinda stuck doing it. We did sneak Christmas Day nap in the crib but after that, converting was happening.

kartish hope your voice comes back soon.

DS has been so tired lately that bedtime hasn't been a fight. He was home today with me because daycare is closed. He tried using the potty after lunch and then announced he was tired and going to bed. I think we're just wearing him out and he's still got a little cold.

Got our pool fixed today. The guy working on it knew I was home and inside so I don't know why they called H to get approval to continue work. I didn't get an estimate before he replaced the pipe and the bill is getting mailed so it'll be a surprise what it costs. But the pipe needed replacing.

DS and I made pumpkin bread this morning. I left the dishes to soak in the sink to avoid having help. I also took a nap the whole time DS was asleep, despite intending to only take 15 minutes so I could do dishes and laundry. I took DS to the park and we got groceries and picked H up for dinner. H was annoyed the dishes weren't done and the stove had dried pasta water on it, but he often leaves the kitchen a mess when it's just him and DS.

kartish ugh, that sounds painful and inconvenient. Hope you get better soon! Keep us posted.

A has been almost losing her voice the last couple nights and has a cough. I think it's what H had a week ago, but just presenting differently in her. She seemed better this morning but it was early to bed tonight.

seamonster hope that bill isn't too bad. And I'm sorry H acted that way... seems unfair if he does the same thing.
