Friday!! And my H randomly has Monday off so that's sweet!
We went to our little small town trade show last night, my mom and I and probably DD are going to another small town one Sunday.
Winter finally hit here a couple days ago. The temp has dropped pretty mega (can't complain when we squeezed an extra month out of fall)) but today was an especially pretty morning with a ton of frost in the trees and sparkly snow.
DD almost ate paper this morning. She tore into a magazine and I didn't realize she so stealthily bit into some until I saw her confusingly chewing on something while I changed her diaper about 5 minutes later. Paper poop crisis averted!
Am I the only one who does this? If lo falls asleep on my shoulder (not facing me) I will use my camera on my phone in selfie mode to see if his eyes are closed lol only one?
I used to do this with DS. I got an awesome picture of him once as a very small baby with his eyes wide open, I don't know what he was thinking about so deeply but I sure thought he was sleeping!
I put LO in 3-6 months clothes today and they fit her really well. My baby is growing! Maybe her 6 month stuff won't be so huge on her after all. Her boots are my favorite part!

Waiting for my chai to steep. I did 4 loads of laundry yesterday, and would have had only 1 left, if DS1 hadn't wet OUR bed at 2am. Now I have a few more loads of laundry. T needs a bath, like, I've been putting it off for over a week.

Can I get some opinions? I am trying to prepare for me returning on site to work in January and I am thinking that it would be much easier if I could just use my pump in style to pump at work, and add a pumping session with a manual pump at night. I would likely bring the pump home on weekends to use as well. Thoughts on if this is a good idea, good manual pumps, etc?
Brother took a 2.5 hr nap this morning and sister is in sweet helpful mode so we have had a great start to our Friday!
We did some "homeschooling" work (she is 2.5 but we havea montessori inspired school area that we work in), did dishes, swept, cleaned the living room, did some preliminary xmas shopping (filling my amazon wish list), moved pictures off my phone and onto computer and snuggled DD while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas

@jemomma I don't get the Y chromosome either. I did more house work yesterday afternoon with 3 kids in the house with me, than DH did in 2+ days of us not being here. He was all, "Look, I did all the dishes!!" Yes, and didn't put away your clothes, ignored the compost bucket, and didn't bother resetting 3 clocks after the power outage.
And when I said T was a week overdue, I really meant it's been 2 weeks...or maybe 3.

This is what I do. It's much easier, as long as you remember to take it with you on Friday. I have a Medela hand pump that I use at home. I love it!
If @jimbobcooter had a girl, this is what she'd wear

SQUEEEEE!!!
And so everyone else gets it... this is more of a FFFC... I was convinced I was going to have a girl so before we found out P was a boy, I bought a bunch of girl clothes that I loved and were on uber sale. And then BOOM, team blue. I just sent them on to some of the J15 girl moms.
I'm dying at the white confessions on Parenting today. OMG.
**runs over to Parenting**
Shocker... its racist and classist AF. Gives me the heebie jeebs. I didn't know that's what they were getting at by white confessions before I got in and quickly got out. I was thinking along the lines of white lies, etc. Ugh.

Name change continuation dilemma: all of which occurs during my 1 hour break where I jump on the train there and back to do this shit.
I went to the marriage bureau to get a certified copy of my marriage license to bring to the SS office next week. (I went to the SS office a few days ago with an uncertified copy but they didn't mention being unable to process the change with that copy).
Cue requesting the copy. The supervisor at the city clerk said no, because I didn't take H's surname when we filed, we do actually have to go there and get married again.
Do you think it's a mistake to do that? My boss scared me saying that it could have legal ramifications later having two different wedding dates. I couldn't find anything about doing a legal name change w/o the marriage license. I should really ask a lawyer. FML.
We've got a sick little guy over here, 102.5. I feel bad for him but am loving all the snuggles today. We're supposed to get snow tonight, so it's a good night for snuggling on the couch! musicfrk2002, you're somewhere north of Chicago if I remember, right? I think we're getting the same storm.
Snow here too!!! (Near musicfrk2002) not a fan of the snow this early in the season, especially since my winter coat and boots are buried in the back of the storage unit. But I dressed C in jammies to match the weather tonight!

So my AW random... I represent indigent parents who are involved with social services and have had their kids removed. I was set today for a hearing to terminate the rights of one of my favorite clients. Termination hearings are almost impossible to win because usually the parent has blatantly failed to do what is needed to get their kids back over quit a long time and it is easy to prove it. In 15 years of practice I have seen exactly one end in favor of the parents so I was really sad about this, especially one week before Thanksgiving. I even already talked my client through the appeal process. And then BOOM! We won today! I have never cried in the courtroom but I did today after we were finished and my client hugged me. She doesn't get the kids back immediately but she does get a pretty good extension to keep doing what she has already been working so hard to do to make it happen. And she gets to have a visit with them on Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Yep! I'm just outside of Rockford, about an hour and a half northwest of Chicago

I spent one summer as a working student for a show barn in Rockford when I was in high school.
After a horrible night last night (dog with kennel cough and baby who was previously sleeping twelve hour stretches went to bed at eleven and was up at two ready to play for the day) I had a fabulous PD Session and then we had a blast at the Festival of Trees. Little man loved all the lights and there was NO LINE for Santa. We got great Santa pictures. Plus I ran into tons of people I knew and got to show him off (which I know is a minor thing but I was thrilled).
I'll join the scandal talk. I haven't been a fan of this season but that episode just sucked!!
*** scandal spoilers ahead ***
I haven't really been a fan of this season either but at least there were some good developments in this weeks ep. I can't believe they showed her getting an abortion though! I was like WTF?! Especially because there was no hint whatsoever that she was pregnant. I loved Mellie this ep. She was awesome and I'm glad liv teamed up with her. I am also greatly relieved that liv moved out. She seemed incredibly out of place there and it was so out of character for her too. I am secretly (not so secretly) hoping that she and Jake get back together because they were so good together. I really thought the episode was going to end with someone dying or some huge revelation though, it was a little anti-climactic for me, but I think they laid good groundwork for the start in January.
~~~~~~~~***spoilers***~~~~~~~~~~~
I just caught up on scandal! So, okay, I was confused about the pregnancy too. Like when did she find out?? But I'm glad she moved too...her and fitz kinda creeped me out when they were living together. I'm team jake all the way. He's so sexy. So pretty much plus one to everything @jemomma said.
Just caught up with how to get away with murder as well. Shonda really knows how to get to me with these shows!
