DD was up at 3:30 wide awake. She finally fell back asleep by 5 and I'm currently rocking her in her room. We're supposed to bring the dogs to get groomed at 8, so I'm not sure how this will all work out. Grocery shopping, hopefully a nap at some point, and the gym are on the agenda today! Happy Monday!
So far our wet Monday without anything scheduled has been fine because L has been asleep since 9.30 (it's eleven now and her morning nap is usually 30 mins at most). So we'll see what the rest of the day is like!
Good morning. Not much to say over here. I feel out of the loop a bit on tcf because I haven't been getting on too much. I hope everyone is doing as well as can be.
Red Sox season opener is today!!! I am so excited I could cry!!! Home opener isn't until next week, but still. Baseball is back!!
Today will be a CRAZY day at school. Tomorrow I am packing up all 150 of my singers and bring them to State Choral Performance Assessment (which, for those of you not in my little music bubble, is a BIG deal. We always get Superior ratings, and that needs to continue). Today will be filled with timed sight reading, me yelling that they've forgotten really minute details over the weekend, and hopefully, some really, really good music.
We are having bruschetta for dinner tonight, which is one of my favorite light meals. I have no idea what we're having for dinner for the rest of the week, but atleast I have tonight figured out.
+ 1 for not believing it's Monday already. We had a great weekend, and it all came crashing down overnight between the baby not sleeping well and H and I getting into a ginormous fight around 2 a.m. So I was up solidly from 1-4. And then DS woke up at 5:30, 20 minutes before my alarm goes off. Fun. Hoping that the low point of the week just got out of the way early, and that things improve from here on out!
michyme123 DS had roseola but his fever was scary high, almost 105 and was 3/4 days. Sounds like either a random quick virus or teething plus random baby rash. Either way Im glad it was quick and relatively painless!
@joolscheeets my go-tos are rice/ sand with toys in a container big enough for them to sit in.
Playing with water in the sink and adding something new, Easter eggs were a big hit a couple weeks ago
Set up an obstacle course with things like laundry baskets, pillows, balled up wax paper etc for them to crawl thru
DH is home with sick DD today and on my way to work he called me to ask me if the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty or clean. I respond dirty. Then he tells me that he already put all of the dirty dishes away with the clean dishes and he can't tell what from what, so what should he do. Ummm find what you think might be dirty dishes and put them back in the dishwasher? Men.
FTR he gets cranky if I don't wash the dishes off enough before putting them in the dishwasher, for whatever reason.

Joolschweets - fingerpaint in plastic bags taped to the window, sensory buckets filled with pom poms or water beads, salt dough/edible play-do (since it is guaranteed to end up in the mouth), plastic bottle filled with glitter and water.
My phone died last night. The battery won't charge anymore. So I have to go get a new one today. My phone also functions as my alarm clock, so I had DH set his for me. He set it for 5am....Saturday. Nothing like getting up over an hour late to start out the week!
Uhh, I forgot what time my first class started so I had to run down to ask them to come a little late so I could pump. Whoops. Luckily the staff at this school is super flexible. I wouldn't even have tried to ask at my other school. That being said, I submitted two applications for other schools this morning. Not looking forward to the interview process, again. This is the 4th year in a row that I've applied for new positions.
I was going to make sensory bags yesterday, but never made it to the store. I was going to do hair gel and then put whatever else I could find at the dollar store in there. I didn't get much accomplished at all yesterday because DS was horrible. After H got home from work we decided to divide and conquer: H took LO to grocery shop and I took DS to the park to burn energy and have some one-on-one time. It did not work out well and we ended up back home with him mid-meltdown and me at the end of my rope.
Tonight I'm making cheddar ale soup and roasted asparagus. That's all I got for ya so far.
Target's beauty boxes are up at the moment! Just an FYI if anyone was planning on getting one this month.
Today will be busy for us, but I'm hoping to be around a little more after taking a break the last few days. E is pulling up to stand on everything and nothing is safe anymore. I miss those days when all he could do was lay in the exact same spot I put him down!

Thanks for letting us know! I just grabbed one! Thought I missed it this month since I wasn't able to look for it on the 1st.
Yeah, this month's timing was weird. I subscribed to the thread in Parenting because I hoped they would alert us when they were up, and I was not disappointed! I lurk hard over there for product recommendations and such.
Morning ladies. I don't have much. It's been insanely busy for me at work, so I haven't been able to get on much these days. I feel out of the loop.
I am just so disgusted with my house. I do not handle clutter well. I never have and I never will. I feel like I need to take a week off of work, send C to daycare every day and just stay home for 5 days and clean and organize.

I bought this month's box although the only product I used to date from last month's box was a hand lotion. Well at least it is cheap.
The power went out in my school. I'm teaching kindergarteners, who are afraid of the dark & my lunch was a lean cuisine & thank GOD I have a battery pack for my pump.
So I just got the new Fitbit Alta and I really like it. It tracks sleep which I'm finding really interesting. Last night I got 6 hours and 5 minutes of sleep, woke up 2 times, was restless 14 times and total restless/awake time was 35 minutes. Friday and Saturday nights I slept longer with less restless/awake time. Hopefully now that I have the fitbit I'll start making more of an effort to go to bed earlier and start being more active.
I've killed two Fitbit Zips, hopefully I'll have better luck with this one since it's on my wrist.
Kristykristyleelee, glad you had an awesome team to work with buying your house, it makes a huge difference! We loved our realtor, he gave us a bunch of restaurant gift cards and DH actually got him a present too (it was a framed print of a historical photograph of our city for his office).
Random. I am officially not allowed to search for GIFs anymore at work. I don't know why I keep getting surprised when pictures of Penises and Vaginas keep coming up in the search results. Praying that the internet people at work aren't getting red flags that I'm looking up nudes.

Your Monday needs to get with it. I'm sorry.
Got my yoga pants on, made and consumed pumpkin pie smoothie, big kids watching Curious George while T and I play. Now to reheat my chai.. It rained last night and my motivation to go outside and do things is waning big time. I was supposed to go for a run yesterday, but we had so much to do at the farm, I ran out of time. Better do something today!
