Morning! It's our last day to move out today! Our home stagers are coming at 10am so I have 4 hours to clean the floors and finish packing all of our clothes. I'm tempted to just get up now (it's 330am) so I can pack without the kids distracting me

Sounds like you ladies are busy! Good luck and yay for almost being finished!
We are on our ways to V's endocrinology appointment and SO has me checking google maps for traffic every so often. Super annoying. Curse the scheduling people for telling us this was the only available slot!
We were up at 515 for some unknown reason, sucked down 5oz and have been talking and playing since. I would love to get in the shower before Ds is up, so I may need to have dh get out of bed to keep an eye on S.
Would love another day to decompress. We had ds's 3rd birthday party on Saturday, so I felt like all I was doing was running around crazy and/or entertaining people. Hearing him say, "Best day ever, momma!" was totally worth the craziness.

It only cost me $19 to fill up my gas tank! Which is great because I'll be needing to spend the extra $$ on caffeinated beverages since a baby girls new thing to put her self back to sleep is to make moan/whine noises. Awesome that she's soothing herself, but even with the monitor on the lowest setting its SO loud!
I'm at work and DH is off for the next three days before Thanksgiving. He has a huge to-do list, many of which are things that I am personally invested in him doing. I really hope he gets them all done and doesn't spend too much time sleeping, watching tv, surfing the net, or doing work work instead.
Sitting in the parking lot at work. I need a serious attitude adjustment before going in.
I haaaate when I feel like that and can't do my cure-all (I need to take a nap. Yes, I'm like a toddler with an attitude problem). I hope your work day goes quickly and nobody annoying crosses your path;)
H has today off so we are taking the kids to the Festival of Trees this morning! And then later this afternoon is the second parent and tot skate and I'm taking DS this time. So excited!
And, AND I don't even remember waking up last night!! We're currently bedsharing so sometimes it's a matter of adjusting and not really remembering getting up haha but I really don't remember getting up which it has been a long time since that last happened!

Good luck with the move @poppyc8, are you moving far?
Have fun painting, hope it goes smoothly @
An acquaintance of mine posted a very "scientific" article on how letting your baby CIO is child abuse and the cause of irrevocable psychological and neurological damage. So I read it anyway and feel shitty. I understand everyone has different parenting styles, but please keep that shit off Facebook.
H and I are both off for Thanksgiving break. I'm at the chiropractor this morning and then we're going to take J to the aquarium! It's ridiculously cold (for Texas), but I'm excited to break out some of his cold weather outfits.
Hang in there @bubbs119 I've definitely been there before. FX that today goes quickly for you.

Whaaaat? People need to GTFO with this crap. It's amazing how much nonsense FB inspires. Oh and BTW you were 100% right about that highchair, I wish I'd asked before I bought. Its ridiculous to clean
Did you see I forgot to tag you Joolschweets before. All there is is the @ woops.
You know I haven't even tried cleaning the high chair, since we haven't started solids. Is that the only reason you don't like it? I don't think it's cushy enough.
Oh and CIO works great til 4 and we're back to our usual. M doesn't wanna sleep past 5 and he's still sleepy, not that hungry, and not that wet. I'm just accepting that 5 is the norm until it isn't anymore. But 2 nights of crying for us = much better self soothing and motn crying overall so I'll take it as the right decision for now. Shrug.

Morning! I need to get my ass in gear and get on Christmas shopping. I'm going to get C an outfit at lunch for our family pictures for Christmas cards. DH is working from home M-W and I am SO EXCITED it's a 3 day work week. Not sure if anyone else watches TWD but OH.EM.GEE last night and next week. Gah I'm so anxious!
Lazy morning at home for us, we'll go to work for a few hours after lunch. Once little man goes down for a nap I'll shower and get dressed, until then I'm enjoying my coffee and snuggles. Anyone have toy/game ideas for a 2.5 year old little girl that's pretty independent? What are some of the must have items?

My inlaws get here today to stay with us for a week and a half and I just drank the last of my coffee, which makes me sad. That's how my Monday is going...

We went to a tree farm yesterday and chopped down (okay, DH did while I watched...) the best tree ever. It's huge and the kids love it. It was a nice way to spend the LAST free weekend that we have until after Christmas. Too many plans, ugh!
We are getting Santa photos this evening! Can't wait!
We saw Santa yesterday and got some super cute photos. Such a rip off, though, man.
Yes! We did this too. Paid $25 for flash drive of photos. Will use for Christmas cards so I guess it was worth it.
We paid $30 for 4 5x7 prints (with ads all on the sides, too). The book advertised this deal with a free Lindt chocolate Santa, but the guy we talked to before meeting Santa said they didn't have it in stock, so I could get an ornament or keychain. The ladt who checked us out was a bitch though and told me I could "add on" either of those for more money, that they simply didn't have the package with free chocolate this year, and I didn't even get a package with a wallet anyways so why did I want it,

Thats pretty much where we are, 2 nights of cio with soothing and progress has been made but early morning is still rough
Monday, blah. I only have a 3-day work week but LO is with me at the office everyday (no help from my mom or DH this week), which means it's going to be a stressful 3 days.
My randoms are: 1. I just ate Jimmy John's for lunch. 2. I need new winter boots because all I have are Uggs and they are dried and cracked and unwearable. 3. We just got cable back after a torturous year-long break and I have been binge catching up on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
That must be a new feature on tapatalk musicfrk2002 . Takes up a lot of space if you ask me!
My Monday has been OK. We have to take baby to the docs tonight (again). Last week when we went, they said it was just back to back colds, and if anything changes to bring her in. Well, her cough has gotten worse, but her snot is no longer clear (its now white/yellowish), and her eyes are all red and gunky (not a lot, but some). Poor little girl! Has anyone elses LO's taken antibiotics yet? Do they give them to babies this young? Just wondering.
LO is on them right now for an ear infection. I was afraid he would get diarrhea but its been NBD. I hope your LO gets better soon!

Today is baby's first day at her nanny's and I am a sad panda... I know we got longer to be at home with her than a lot of people, but it's still sad, she will be spending more awake time with someone else than either of her parents.
FFMC: I may have spent extra time at Target leisurely enjoying my chai tea latte while LO stayed with H. I was practically skipping through the aisles with freedom!

I have a mtg tonight. I want to go alone, but Senor Thor doesn't like taking a bottle and even if he did, I have all of one ounce stashed in the freezer. Pumping has not been happening because he eats ALL THE TIME.
So, I take him with me (to a restaurant) and stay the whole time, or leave him at IL's with DH and see how long he lasts (not more than 2 hrs, usually). Maybe see if he'll take formula? Would it upset his tummy and ruin our night?

I just want kid-free time. *whine*
We did our first bottle of formula on a whim and O didn't notice a bit!
