Things to Google: what is this black magic known as 'sleep regression'? How long is it supposed to last? Good swaddles. We have been using the ergo swaddle since birth but she has been hulking out if it lately.

I'm calling my mom for reinforcements today. I need sleep. Or else I'm putting a "free to good home" sign around his neck and stick him in a box on the curb.

@janetheconquerer, no barfing allowed.
I plan on catching up on my sleep, attempting to catch up on my magazines, and generally doing as little as possible. I don't think DH will let this happen though.
Im taking the kids to the local university to participate in a language study. Then we're heading downtown for the Santa Clause parade! I'm really hoping to get pics wth Santa to send out with our Christmas cards.
Adorable moment: we were listening to Adele 'Hello' and at the start where she says "Hello, it's me" DD stood up, put her hands to her chest and exclaimed "Me?" as if Adele was talking about her. Too cute.
Back is killing me, but I just had breakfast so I can finally take some meds! I think I need to stop taking the muscle relaxer though - it's just putting me to sleep. Logically, I know I should call in my MIL for reinforcements with the kids. But in reality I just don't like her and don't want to be stuck on the couch talking to her all day.
My plan for the weekend is to do as little as possible. We'll see how much my kids let me get away with that.

I think I need to unfollow all news related things on Facebook for awhile. I think I need to unfollow people who constantly post sad news related things.
I am so afraid that history is going to repeat itself. Last night I read an article that if elected Trump would make all Muslims be registered in a database. This reminds of of nazi Germany and detention camps for the Japanese Americans. In that same article it talked about how his popularity is gaining again too.
I am so sad that I am raising my kids in a world with so much hate. I can only protect them for so long. I really hope that in that timeframe I can teach them to have compassion and love for others.

I read that article too. So sad. I taught at an Islamic school and it makes me sad to think of my little babes growing up in this environment. One of the benefits of them going to an Islamic school is that they are shielded from a lot of the hate, but as they get older they will realize that they live in a world where they will be labeled due to their faith.

Happy Weekend, all! It's snowing so it's pretty cozy up in here. We have to get Jack a snowsuit and Noah a warm coat- so shopping for a little while. We still have our inside Halloween decorations up (oops) so we're trading them out for our Christmas decorations. I need to trade out Jack's smaller clothes for the size up and put everything either away or in his drawers. The nursery is like one big clothes explosion. That's about it!

I just can't believe that trump is still a viable candidate. I'm kind of scared that he hasn't been laughed out of the race yet. Everytime he announces some stupid plan he has and someone asks him how he plans to do it, his answer is always "oh you'll find out." Wtf? He's gotta be the most racist, religionist (is too early, I don't think that's a word), discriminatory, hateful person. I'm really afraid he'll win the Republican thing.
Random question. If someone says they'll buy something from you on a swap page, and you send them an invoice, how long would you wait for them to pay before selling it to someone else?

The thought of trump as our president really worries me. It scares me even more now because of this. I, too, have many Muslim students and to think we would do this to them makes my heart hurt.
I close tonight but I'm off tomorrow and Monday!! Seeing Mockingjay with my mama tomorrow!
I'm also working on building a new freezer stash since everything I have was before I went DF. This means I have to get my lazy up to pump at first feed.
FX for a good weekend and good results for Caden,@janetheconquerer

I have to clean the house. Then I am headed to my parents' house to watch the Nascar Xfinity race. My BIL is the gas man for the #60 for Roush Fenway Racing car and they could win the championship today. We are on pins and needles. If they win, my mom has to drive to NC to stay with my niece. My sister and other crew members' spouses will be flown to Miami for the awards banquet Monday. Please sending winning vibes their way. This would be a little light after the rough month my sister had.
H and his motley crew are replacing the bay window in our house today. Fx no trips to the ER and that everything fits. L and I have vacated for the day to do some shopping. Found a local Baby wearing group meting today but shes still stuffy and coughing so skipping it for fear of many side eyes.
This is the first Saturday in a long time we don't have a million things to do. Soccer is over for the season and we haven't made plans with any friends. Today is SS1's 13th birthday. We went out to celebrate last night since he's going to a bonfire with friends tonight. He and DH are doing some one on one time today (shopping and lunch). SS2 has a friend over and SD, T, and I are just hanging out in our jammies having some girl time. It's cold out so we're inside staying cozy.
I am so screwed. Baby usually sleeps in the snugabunny RNP and naps in the snugabunny swing. I tried to transition her to the crib last night and she lasted not even 5 minutes. She was moving her head around looking for those soft bunny ears to nestle her face against! What am I going to do!? We're leaving for my parents house on Monday and they have neither a RNP nor a swing. She was also flailing her swaddled legs around and bringing them straight up in the air. All this after putting her down sound asleep.
I forsee no sleep while we're away over the next week. Help?
+1 on wtf are people thinking supporting Donald Trump. He is racist, homophobic, misogynistic asshole. It's truly scary that anyone believes he is fit to run this country. I deleted a girl on fb earlier this week because she wrote a rant about Syrian refugees and #Trump2016 at the end. Nevermind the fact that the terrorists behind the Paris attacks were neither Syrian nor refugees. Or the fact that those refugees are fleeing the very same people we are accusing them of supporting. In general, Republicans infuriate me when they support legislation or ideals that are counter to their so-called Christian beliefs. Jesus supposedly loved everyone and hung out with poor people, whores, and other ostracized populations... so he probably wouldn't campaign against LGBT individuals or vote to reduce government assistance for low-income families. I also doubt he'd be fighting for the right to carry around guns, which we use to kill each other by the thousands every year. But I'll stop now
aydee can you bring the rnp with you? That's what we plan on doing for Christmas. MH figured out that it comes apart a little and he break it down and fit it in a suitcase. That is how serious we are about our sleep, haha.
I'm so glad it is Saturday I'm only a dirty lurker during the week these days. Add me to the list of folks who have been unfollowing the bad news bears on FB.
