Fierce Friday Spam

[lilyelayne]

Made it to Friday! Woo!

[lilyelayne]

I planned on staying up after DS's first feed to shower but I was hoping it'd be more like 445 or 5 not 415 *yawn*
A girl I met at a babywearing play date invited us over for a post partum photo shoot her midwife is doing. We're supposed to wear floral dresses & hang out in the woods. Sounds hippie, but hopefully fun.

So glad. I'm on vacation for 12 days but need to work on said vacation because my project phase keeps failing. No more than 20 minutes a day, but I was planning to be done by today. On the plus side it's an excuse to get away from the ILs for a bit. The second downside will be why do I have to work on my vacation. Much like why did I need to work on papers when we'd visit for Thanksgiving when I was in grad school.

[osumegs]

lilyelayne boo for such an early wake up. The pics sound like they could be fun though.

seamonster it's always a shame when a vacation can't be a full vacation. Thank goodness it's only 20 min a day, but still, that stinks.

LO just woke up at 545 to start the day. I fed her and put her back down, hoping for another hour. Not looking too promising.

[tortor4]

Happy Friday! LO is still sound asleep but I'm wide awake. I should do something productive but I'm just laying in bed. Oops. I have a few more bows I'd like to make before tomorrow. We have a table at a big fall festival so hopefully we sell lots! Other than that nothing much going on today.
lilyelayne have fun at the photo shoot!
seamonster sorry you have to work on your vacation.
osumegs fingers crossed for more sleep!

This 8 month leap can go to HELL!!! I saw every hour between 10:30 and 7:30 last night. I'm really glad S is learning and growing, but come on kiddo you need to sleep to store all of this awesome knowledge. I'm praying that he naps well today. This also confirms that you working mommas are badass and deserve all the coffee.

Tomorrow I'm taking Willa to get her first legit haircut. I don't have a lot of confidence that the place will do a great job. Appointments are booked in 15 minute increments. Can you do a quality job with that small of a window of time?

[mishka29]

ChickenOnSunday, we still haven't cut DD1's hair! I don't want to lose those baby curls. I think their hair is so fine that if you are doing a simple trim and style I think 15 mins should be enough.

[mishka29]

I woke up at 7:20 lol. DD1 had her light on and was playing and DD2 was standing in her crib. Nobody was crying so it's all good!

It sounds like the perfect occasion to wear a flower crown!   Please AW the pictures when you have them!

[kaydee0402]

ChickenOnSunday, 15 minutes sounds like a good window of time. Especially since most of the 3-4 year olds I used to work with could not sit still for more than 20 minutes

[ChickenOnSunday]

mishka29, @holachica, badw0lf,

I want to get Willa's ends trimmed because of all the chlorine. She has had her bangs trimmed twice but has never had an all over cut. I figure if the place tomorrow does a crappy job than I'll just have my girl back home fix it at Christmas time.

I'm shocked at the price tag of $22.

[kaydee0402]

Thank you Jesus it's finally Friday. We're supposed to get bad storms all weekend, so it sounds like I'm going to tackle some in-house projects like reorganizing the pantry and finish lining the cabinets. I lead an exciting life I tell ya.

PSA -

Call your pediatrician's office to see if they have the flu shot in stock. We were told just to pop in to get Addie's second dosage. DH took her this morning and they were out.

On a normal day this sucks. Today it is pouring out so it really isn't cool.

@chickenpnasunday $22!! Wow. She better get stickers and sweets with that.

If they suck we will just go to the Great Clips in our nearby shopping center for future cuts. Obviously, not letting my husband know about the $22 price tag.

[taberbtb]

hollydfromtn Stop it. You're scaring me. B turns 8m next week and the alarm for her next leap just went off on my phone.

ChickenOnSunday I don't think DH pays $22 for a hair cut!

[danitaec]

Raining here this morning. Husband was nice enough to get wet while holding the umbrella over me so I could put the baby in the carseat. Then get to school and there's a MOUSE in my room. I threw a Gatorade lid at him, which he then played with. Then I threw a peanut and he took it and went UNDER MY DESK. The principal, custodian and I finally got him, but man what a morning.

Friday!

[PikoPiko]

Cough cough cough cough cough. Seriously this cough v2 needs to go away. I was so hoping to get to visit the new baby this weekend. My friends are finally back home after the c section. I want to hear the birth story while sniffing the newborn smell!

On better news, DS STTN last night, but woke at 6.30am, a bit earlier than usual but hey, it's not a 3 wake up! I was doing some internet research, he is totally reverse cycling cos of daycare. I picked him up at 4 yesterday, he took down 10oz between then and 7pm. His total for yesterday was 18oz. I feel it was somewhat of an improvement.

And oh, prob have to go travel internationally for business soon. Nooooooo. My boss seemed interested though. Maybe he'll go instead?

Sorry to scare you, but so far this leap sucks. He makes up for it during the day when he's being cute babbling, planking, and attempting to bear crawl.

[PikoPiko]

LO is continuously yawning in his crib, but refuses to go to f back to sleep. Silly baby.

[dreemkin]

I stayed up too late bc I got wrapped up in the TNF game. I had E Manning starting on one of my fantasy teams. I love football (as if you couldn't tell).

I am going to lunch with my rents today. We're going to Honey Jam Cafe. It's a breakfast and brunch restaurant owned/ran by Portillos. Portillos is just okay IMHO but Honey Jam is pretty good. They seriously have some of the nicest servers I've ever encountered too.

I should clean my kitchen cabinets since it is supposed to rain all weekend.

Does anyone actually take all the stuff out of the cabinets and wipe the shelves? We've been in our house since August '09 and I've never done it. I think my mom would do this about once a year.

[dreemkin]

ChickenOnSunday nope but I will empty the draws (particularly the utensil drawer) from time to time and wipe them out.

Nope.  We've been in our house for a year and a half, and most of my shelves aren't even lined.

I totally saw that and went CARE BEAR STARE!

[cloe111479]

I am SOOOOO Bored at work today. It's the family law CLE thing.. so there are like 5 attorneys in the entire office. It is so quiet. I am praying we close early. It is such a nice day too. I wish i could have stayed home and maybe gone to the zoo or something with DD. Oh well...

No real plans this weekend. LSU game is away so DH Is home, but we have no plan other than watch the game so early on Saturday right lilyelayne,.. and then go to my moms on sunday.

[PikoPiko]

Oh crap, am I supposed to line my shelves?!

There was a tornado last night that traveled along the main road near where you turn in to get to my parents' house. They are all fine, but there is some debris and the road was blocked off. There were also reports of homes damaged, but no one was hurt, thankfully.

I'm still not sure why DH and my phones didn't go off. Maybe because we were just outside of the warning area? But still... it'd be nice to know!
