Early start . DH is working all weekend so I'm on my own. Should be interesting since Little Bones is going through a I'm not listening to you phase and everything is a freaking fight now. I would like to take to the park but I'm not confident in my ability to handle 2 out of the house especially since DS is being a bit of a challenge.
In other news, I want to make muffins but have no eggs. Does anyone know of any substitutions I can use?
skinandbones I tried the apple sauce method and the muffins were a supper weird texture. You can do vegetable oil too but idk what it would do to texture because it's 1/4cup per egg.
After yesterday's fiasco, I need a break. I also have only been out of the house twice all week. I'm going to my moms house to stay the night. I was already going there with N tomorrow, but I've decided I just need to get away for a night.
Our calendar is actually empty this weekend. I want to go to a pumpkin patch, but DD1's class is headed there for a field trip in a week, so I don't know if it's a waste? I want to be able to take DD2, and the family photo ops of course. What to do, what to do...
Otherwise just hanging out around the house and hopefully organizing the pantry. Fun stuff I tell ya, fun stuff.

I've got a friend coming by today to visit and meet the baby. Excited to see her and her family. Today is day 4 of 12 for my H working in a row. It makes really long days for all of us since we only see him for an hour or so before bed. Dropping dd off with my MIL around lunchtime and I'll pick her up tomorrow. :-) so grateful for my MIL helping out. Tonight I'm hosting ladies night in with my mom's group. Wine and a taco bar at my house. So excited.
No real plans today. I might take DD to get our nails done. Shellac manicure for me and nails painted for her. We need groceries too, even if it's just for the weekend. I might hit up Costco even if I only leave with wine.

Morning! Heading to NJ for the day to spend time with the in laws. Evidently there's a feud brewing between DH's parents and grandparents, and even though it's something trivial, I have a feeling there may be a blowup today (especially if grandma gets a little too much wine).... Sooo, that could make for some decent entertainment. Crazy, crazy people!
I have a whirlwind of a weekend! Just drove to my parents' house last night. We're throwing my sister an engagement party tonight, Thanksgiving hike and dinner tomorrow, driving back home Monday, stopping in to see my aunt along the way and making it in time for the in laws thanksgiving dinner. Then we collapse
Today we finish the paperwork to get the loan approval on the house, then we are going to Zoo America because we get in free, it is outside and the animals are usually more active. Then we are going to drive to Shady Maple (smorgasbord ) to eat and hopefully they are selling mums like last year.
Sunday we are going to an Orchard for pumpkins & apples!
Whoever said wubbanub for a paci that stays in, I love you. And so does E. She was fussing last night so I decided to try it again, and she finally took it. Calmed right down, wrapped her little fingers around the penguin, and smiled at me. Yaaaay!!!!
Baby woke up at 5:30, but so did 4 year old...we need to pick up our meat share, buy a b day present and go to a party. Dh is working and I am not looking forward to any of it. Going to pump now while baby is sleeping in the swing.
skinandbones you got this!! Go to park when littlest bones is sleeping and he can just hang in stroller.
We have survived 6 nights just me and the kiddos, 1 more night to go. I am exhausted doing this by myself.
We went to a fall festival last night and dd actually rode the train twice!! In the past she would ask to ride and then scream entire time. I am so happy she enjoyed it.
Lunch with moms today and picking up hubs tomorrow night.
This is my first weekend after a week as a working mom and darn I'm excited. Im currently having a coffee by myself while H and Baby C sleep and it is awesome.
I'm headed to an orchard this afternoon. I'm looking forward to overdoing it on apples, cider donuts, and apple crisp.
ajetter, I can't remember how old your DD1 is, but when I was a kid, I would have been thrilled to go to the pumpkin patch twice! I vote to go anyway!
E slept again for me last night! She's asleep now in her swing so I'm hoping that lasts a few hours. My SO left for work 30 mins ago.
I have a major headache this morning. Possibly migraine. This happened last time I started this job too... and periodically when I had a long night or worked in an unfamiliar place. I think it's overstimulation. I'm extremely introverted... to a fault possibly. I hate talking to strangers in person. It's a bit better with work bc I have something specific to talk about, but still approaching people is hard. So after almost a year being at home mostly & not working, 2 long nights at bars are getting to me. It is kind of sad that talking to people gives me headaches. Anxiety sucks. But! It's only for 2 months and I can't ask for much better than $25/hr so I'll deal with it.
Why would I think changing up W's routine during a leap was in any way a good idea? No swaddle didn't work out and ruined the entire night for sleep. But today I'm organizing my closet, practicing a couple new carries (rebozo and poppins), and finally getting a handle on the house with H's help. It's going to be productive and coffee fueled.

A slept from 10pm until 7. This is the most sleep we've gotten since before she was born. Woke up in a puddle...last pump was 8pm because I had a drink and figured she'd be up around 3.
Cousin in law's shower today. Was going to wear a skirt but I don't like these people enough to shave my legs.
The only plans here are to do some work around the house and get groceries. I'm sure my H will come up with some other things that we need to go do. He is not a sit around and do nothing kind of guy.
It's homecoming weekend at my alma mater which is also the town I have lived in my whole life. We are going to the parade and football game. Love this weekend. My university has the best marching band.
I'm so jealous of everyone going to orchards this weekend. Usually we go to this place in the mountains. We get bbq and dried apple pies and cider. Hopefully we'll make it up there this season.
This weekend is all about rest. Ds1 is sick, ds2 is snotty this morning so I'm going its just a coincidence and he's not getting sick too. I also had a sore throat yesterday and woke up with a headache and kind of stuffy nose today so I may be getting sick too. It's so hard to figure out when you're basically living in a petri dish. Dh refuses to listen about leaving the door or window open to circulate the air so we're not just sitting in germs. But nope, every morning, closed off room (the ac has a blockage before our room. So it's also hot.)
Interesting! I'm surprised by #13. I got a bottle of it once and it wasn't anything spectacular. It was $7 for one 12oz bottle and I was disappointed. It basically tastes like you put a shot of whiskey in a stout. Founders Breakfast Stout is way better. I am proud that 2 beers from a Brewer in my area are on the list.

H is home so I put him on soccer duty this morning. I do it every weekend and C has been sleeping horribly this week so I'm taking a break. Making oatmeal then settling in for a quick snooze.

@amichelle I'm dairy free as well. The almond milk is actually pretty decent as a substitute in most things, but I can't drink it straight up. I miss cereal and ice cream...
The hospital I work for has a table at an orchard here and we get a voucher for $20 in pumpkins, a wagon ride, and a smores kit. I'm taking the kids today and I can't wait.
