I'm already stressed about this weekend trip. Most things are packed except the cooler and bottles for M. I'm driving H to work and then we're leaving when I pick him up since it's on the way to where we're camping. It's raining so traffic will be fun. I also get to stop at the store on the way home and make pasta salad. A few things are loaded in the car but I'll load most of it while watching M before dropping the dog at my dad's house. I already need wine, 7 a.m. isn't too early is it?
I'm trying to get the twins onto a schedule, not for the sake of sleeping through the night because I have a lot of patience for that to come in its own time, but 'cuz I need the day to have some normality to it and not leave things to chance -- ie, one waking up furious/ravenous when I'm halfway through nursing the other.
What I have learned:
A is shit at taking a nap, falling asleep, staying asleep, not being pissed off when he wakes up mid-nap.
E is actually able to fall asleep on her own if I get her into our room and turn out the lights when she's sleepy... but she wakes up if A cries, and is then inconsolable.
I hope this doesn't take weeks and weeks, because I'm running out of stamina :/
I need to mop floors, vacuum, pack for myself, dd, and baby boy all before 11am. Its beach or bust today!!! And I would like to pick up grapes and other refreshing foods for snacks at the beach.
ampaints, while it might be a tad too early for wine, it definitely isn't too early for mimosas or bloody Marys. Don't stress, you will get it all done and then have a great time camping!!!
Ooh, we booked our flights last night. Canada will be received us 27th November! So chuffed it's finally happening... and it's very surreal. I've been living over her for over 7 years now, so it'll be strange to be back, especially as I'll be +1 husband and +3 children.

Happy Friday! Holy cat, it's 48 degrees here. We had to get Jack a couple of hoodies and a jacket from BRU when we were there yesterday. We're going to the orchard tomorrow with the fam. Not much going on today, nothing exciting anyway. Dropping H off at work, I have a doctor appointment, and I'm meeting up for a swap this afternoon. I found a brand new Snuggle Nest with heartbeat sounds and a night light for $20! Then my awesome 13 yr old will be here after school, we're making pumpkin cupcakes. Wooo Have a good Friday everyone!

How does your DSD feel about the move?
She's so unbelievably excited. It's kind of the perfect time for her, because she lost all of her close friends when high school started, and she's moved to a college and doesn't really know many people yet, plus no boyfriends, so no real ties. I think she sees it as a completely clean slate, so here's hoping she'll thrive.
First night in the crib was a success! I was feeling guilty moving her so much sooner than DD1 (7 weeks vs 15), but she's such a light sleeper we'd wake her anytime we moved. She slept from 9:30-7 waking once at 4 to nurse! Good thing I was awake until 1am, you know, making sure nothing went wrong.
elvenqueen glad that DSD is excited about the move.
elizabethnevadap it's 41 here. Part of my errand running involves going to the consignment shop to look for fleece sleepers for E. Ds1 was born in March and it was an unusually warm winter so all the sleepers we have are light weight. We have sleep sacks that help keep him warm at night but he'll definitely need something more when winter comes.

It's chilly here this morning, 51 degrees.
We're headed to the outlet mall about 45 min away...I'm nervous because this baby likes to have scream fests in the car. Here is hoping he sleeps for the drive!
MILs Birthday is Sunday. This year she is getting two framed pics of B and a Sonic gift card. Why Sonic? Because she literally goes at least once a day for ice cream. Her diet consists of ice cream and more ice cream. Dear God why is she our only family here? How can I trust someone whose diet matches a child without parents with my own child?
Each year, I take a ride on the Adirondack Scenic Rail Road Beer and Wine Tasting Train. Basically you take a train ride and drink the entire time ... So that's tonight!! And I'm very excited to get out with some of my work friends that I haven't gotten to really see since our Daycare Center closed. I usually drink a whole bottle of wine by myself but I'll have to be a little more responsible this year.
As for the rest of the day, Little A and I are just going to hang out and watch Glee
This sounds so cool! I hope you have fun despite you not being able to really drink in blissful excess. Just keep telling yourself how bad that hangover would suck with a LO and you won't be so sad.

We get to have our first night out since M was born (he's 6 weeks old). We're going to a wedding tonight. SO's parents are coming over to watch all 3 kids. They're also spending the night and hanging out tomorrow. I'm dreading all of it. All.of.it! Maybe that belongs in the FFFC thread....

Panic mode here. I've had allergies for the past couple weeks, since the house has been opened up. Last night, I woke up with a horribly stuffed up nose, a mildly sore throat, and a slight cough. So I'm thinking either I'm getting sick (NONONONONONONONONO) or my allergies got worse because we left the bedroom windows open (we hadn't been doing that at night), which caused drainage in my throat, which contributed to the cough.
I cannot get sick. I need all the orange juice. Like NOW.
I'm feeling better since I got up and took some allergy meds and got some coffee. Please, God, let it be allergies.

Has anyone here used the cleaning soap branch basics? I just ordered a sample. Apparently it's a concentrated soap that you can mix with water and it can be used to clean glass, grease, laundry, bathrooms, kitchens, hands, and like 20 other things? It's all natural and food safe, so I'm skeptical, but if it works, awesome. I have this paranoia of E accidentally getting into the chemicals and drinking them so if I can replace all that with a nontoxic formula, woo!

I got a phone call recording from DS1preschool. The schools in the district will be on lockdown today because of an incident where a man went in a home and shot two people. They don't think the event was random but the suspect is still at large. School will still take place but all activities will be indoors. Hope they catch this guy! Whoever he is.
