Friday evening 7pm here. Large glass of wine in hand. Children all in bed. H home soon to cook me dinner.
The good: 1. It's a long weekend here so I won't have to have the sadz on Monday when you're all enjoying your Sundays 2. Freddie's hair is just long enough to start curling at the ends - squee!
The bad: 1. It's supposed to rain here for the next 2 days. DNW. 2. There is not a single house on the market at the moment that H and I are interested in.
The ugly: 1. Freddie is cutting 3 top teeth 2. He's starting to bite my nips. Operation wean this child begins this weekend.
Shame budders! Sorry gorgeous V is not well. Hope your Spring break improves from here. I feel your pain on the biting and house front. FX both situations turn around for us.
sammyca I love that you're drinking wine & I haven't even had my coffee yet. I'll join you in squeeing with the curls, I love baby curls. Can you post a curly pic, please please please?
I just had the first 10 minutes in my apartment all by myself since J was born. It was magical. And then I left to go to work. Today is the first day also J will be away from either of us all day long (DH is a SAHD, in case I've never mentioned that). DH dropped J off with his mom (FX) at 6am and I pick her up at 4pm.
sammyca enjoy your long weekend! Hopefully Fred will pop the teeth quickly.
budders poor V, I know you have had such a rough time with sickness but I bet he's going to be one of those kids who has it all as a baby then never has as much as a runny nose again.
My two are sick. But hoping it passes quickly. Im so excited for my Elfster to get my parcel. I was dreaming about it last night and all.
Ummmm did you just reveal something? I just read this & your other comment in the other post. Maybe edit one.
Good luck with operation wean baby sammyca budders sorry you're spring break is starting out like that. Hopefully he feels better very soon and you're able to enjoy next week together.
Z had his first real fever last night. He's had several little bugs, and some low grades, but last night he was at 102.7. They came to my room at school yesterday afternoon and said he was 99.6 and monitoring throughout the rest of the day he was between there and 100.0. As soon as I got home he was at 102.7 so I feel like our forehead scanner wasn't accurate and I feel bad that he was there with a real fever. We were supposed to do the school carnival tonight as a family, but it looks like that's out. I'm trying to decide if I'll still go up there to help out for a bit once MH is off work.

No no ha ha, but maybe I should have left that hanging. I was dreaming about my order that I sent last night. But I had a dream where carolyngrace was talking to me early last week.
Unfortunately you don't make detective yet lol
It's funny I tend to figure out who has who IRL, because someone inevitably asks me advice or just can't keep it a secret. However, I would hate to know has me before I'm supposed to find out. I just love surprises so much! I love the feeling of being totally surprised.
DH's old boss suddenly wants him to fly out of town next week to do something related to his old job, not his current one. I am irritated because I have something going on almost every day next week, different things, that have been planned for weeks and now suddenly I have to tell all of these people about my schedule conflicts and that I'm going to be hours late and have to leave early for various things so I can drop off and pick up the kids.
But the good news is one long week is almost over.

That's really annoying, especially when your things were planned so far in advance.
I should be attempting just a little more sleep before E is up for the day, but now I'm feeling riled up about the exchange. I love all of the planning, shopping, surprising and guessing we get to do with everyone! Yesterday evening was really rough - bad migraine, baby didn't want to go to bed until after 10pm (my whole week) and DH didn't get home from work until then either. Today will be better. It's Friday, so everything is automatically more endurable, right?
DH just left to bring B to his sitter's. I am HOME ALONE for the first time in forever. I am drinking coffee and snuggling with the kitties before I head out for my spa day. This is THE BESSSSTT
I feel so bad about the baby pigeon. When H said he was throwing away pigeon shit from our balcony on Wednesday, I didn't realize he was throwing away their nest, too. I definitely don't wanna a pigeon infestation with all their poop everyone, but now this little guy is camped out on our neighbors balcony.
I read that pigeons learn to fly at around 4-5 weeks. This guy looks almost fully grown, but I also read they look bigger than they actually are. So far I only see this baby walking back and forth across the ledge because H put a fence up around our balcony. The mom and dad periodically seem to fly up to bring him food and encourage him to fly. I feel so bad he has no home and I don't want him to die, just fly away soon, please.

Finishing my first almost full time workweek here. I'm tired but we made it work fairly well. Babysitters cancelling was the main stress, luckily I have a backup.
DH and I remembered yesterday that our anniversary is this weekend so we're trying to put a date together

erbear , V does that all the time. I refuse to get her out of the crib before 7, so usually, she does fall back asleep for 10 more minutes.
kemdupuis , hope your spa day is awesome! Did you ever decide what to do with your hair?
carolyngrace , I'm so happy to her your first full work week went well
Happy Friday ladies!
I'm finishing up my breakfast while V enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Her PB chair arrived yesterday so I need to put it together this morning. Other than that, laundry, cleaning and errands today. Friday family dinner out tonight and a much needed pedi tomorrow morning!
Good morning! Hope those sick babes feel better soon!! I am so jealous of your spa day kemdupuis! Enjoy! Today's agenda includes work stuff and errands. And since it's Friday, dinner at the in-laws.
I need to figure out what to do with my five year old niece today. It's raining, so going outside is out. I learned about this cool indoor play area, but I don't want to have to pay $10 for her.

Jules just woke up, but I've been awake since she came into bed at 630ish. SO took her for most of the night. We need to find something to do and get out of the house today, maybe we'll go to the mall or something.
Morning! DS was up at 6, but went down super easy for an early nap, hopefully he makes it a nice long one. I'm just catching up here, and then hoping for a nap myself. Also debating whether I feel up for swim lessons later today... on one hand, I don't want to go, but on the other, they're a good way to get us out of the house and mix up the day a little. So we'll probably go, I still have cabin fever from the winter! Also, I'm super jealous of all you moms with days off to yourself - I keep wanting to schedule a day like that for myself, but then either DS or I get sick, and I can just see my days off remaining dwindling too quickly

Thank you!! I am going to go with the long layers like everyone suggested. Still on the fence about bangs. Will talk to my stylist and see what she thinks. I'll post pictures later!
Hope you have a great dinner out tonight and a relaxing pedicure tomorrow!

Well, my spring break has started early. V and I have been up since 3:30 because his fever spiked back to 103 and he puked a few times. He's pretty much cried pathetically ever since, and I just got him to calm down. We're not supposed to take today off, but I refuse to let MIL watch him when he is this sick. Plus, my kid comes first and my job can deal with it.
So sorry V is sick again. Hope he feels better soon and you can all get some rest. Hugs to you, budders. Your family has had enough sick to last a lifetime!

I was supposed to go there last week but Jules wasn't feeling well. I've heard really good things about it. Jenna takes her boys there a lot since Gymboree closed.
