Thanks! It is what saves her most of the time. She pushes me to the edge and then turns on the cuteness to turn it around. Just this morning she fought me getting dressed, brushing her hair, charging her tablet and what she wanted to drink. Then she cuddled up with me, said "I love you" and gave me a couple hugs.

Sleep has been fucking horrendous this week. At least I put in enough hours for the week that I can take today off. I’ll be cleaning and getting stuff ready for J’s party on Saturday. I CAN’T BELIEVE MY BABY IS TURNING THREE!

Sleep has been horrendous here too Pizzaslut. However, that is because K has a cold and is up coughing/crying multiple times in the middle of the night. Thankfully, I only have 15 minutes left of work today. Going to get myself ready and I need to go to a local PD building to pick up a raffle drawing I won at National Night Out earlier this week. Then picking up the kids and heading to my moms for the evening.

Have you tried to go back to standard speed. It’s SOO slow and boring haha.

Depends on the book and whose reading

Where did my summer go? I’m back to work tomorrow. I know! I am starting to get major fall vibes over here. I keep reminding myself it's only mid-August but I can feel that transition happening anyway. And it drives me crazy on podcasts now that you can't turn the speed up since I am used to listening to book at 1.5. My DH laughs because it's like GIVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION NOW

I never mentioned this but I leave Wednesday for a 5 day trip to visit my sister in California. I leave Wednesday and I’m gone until the following Monday. I am going ALONE. It’s going to be so weird not to be in mom mode.

I have been suspending my audiobooks for a while now and I have an excellent line up that will get me through September! I’m very excited about that haha. And that I’ll be able to wear all the new clothes I’ve bought one the past month. Bring on fall!

I need to share this crazy story that happened tonight,
I’ve beem considering signing D1 up for Boy Scouts. My cousin with two asd/adhd boys said they have made so much progress with being involved. And I think it would be good for Isaac. I’ve been thinking about this for a several months. Someone shared a Boy Scout Page post in our city Facebook group and I decided to pull the trigger and message the Boy Scout group, they responded quickly and told me when meeting were and everything. The parent mentions the name of her son and his age. I remembered that there was a boy who was that age and had that name in swimming lessons with Isaac. I thought.... what are the chances it’s the sage kid. Not likely right? Well it was! So now I feel like it’s a sign! Those two got along so well!

Hi everyone– summer has been crazy for me, and the only thread I've even half kept up with has been the Monday Motivation one of GD. I've missed you all! A new car is super excited redandblue. I love Hondas. If we ever get a car again, I would definitely be into a Honda Civic. Congrats on your race jedi! And I'm sure it was super tough with the heat and humidity– huge accomplishment! I ran 11 on Friday and I just about died. I've loved seeing all of A15 babies turn 3 on Instagram. Poppy's daycare class is filled with August birthdays too, and every weekend has involved multiple parties. Toddler birthdays are exhausting! We're just going to do cupcakes at school on Wednesday, and then a joint birthday trip with my nephew, who turns 4 in September, to Sesame Place. Maybe we'll do a party next year.

Hey guys! We got back from our trip a week and a half ago and I feel like things are starting to get back to normal. Jack had his 1st appointment with his GI doc and a 3rd medication was added and 1 was increased. A is starting to go to sleep by herself and even though we didn’t push potty training because we were going to be spending so much time in the car, she’s almost there! She only poops on the potty and as long as she’s not being lazy, she pees there too! She turned 3 and bam, she’s a whole new kid. I’m taking her for her 3 year pictures (only a couple weeks late). I’m going to do 9 month pics of Jack and some of DD1 and the littles. Thursday H and I are going to see Dispatch! We are so excited! It’s our first time seeing them, plus it’ll be so nice to have some time away from the kids. DD1 is going to come over and watch them for us.

mrspiatt, welcome back! I loved all of your pictures, it looked like you guys had a really good time! It was fantastic! It was also a really good thing for me and H, even though things have been really good with us, they were so bad for a while and I didn’t realize how much of that I was still holding onto. The time together was nice, but it wouldn’t have had the same impact if we were at home. After 5 weeks on the road with the littles, I definitely feel like we’re partners again and I have my best friend back. I can tell things changed for him too. I think this was my favorite view on the trip. We went to Glacier National Park and decided since we were so close to the border, we had to cross over for dinner and get Poutine. We went to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta and had dinner in the little town that you can see toward the right of the picture. We stopped at the Prince of Wales hotel and when we walked the wall across from us was all glass and it looked out onto this view.
