Up- camping and hiking was a lot of fun
Down-DS's sleep gets messed up when we travel so it takes a few days before he STTN again.
Up-I was happily surprised by the number on the scale when I was weighing myself with DS!
Down-I can't access this board via tapatalk this week. I'm annoyed. Only threads I have followed. The whole list of forum boards won't even load. Tapatalk just keeps getting worse.
Weekend: Saturday is DS's half birthday, so I want to do something fun. Probably go see puppies at our friends farm. He loves animals. Also might give him a mini cupcake since I know he won't really eat it.
Then in the evening we're going to a surprise birthday party for one of DH's friends and I offered to make some bars so I need to do that today.

Ups: The heat finally broke DH and I are going to a wedding on Saturday night and staying overnight! MIL is taking the kids....
Downs: I'm anxious about MIL taking the kids (she has watched DS overnight a zillion times but not the baby) The heat was so bad this week that DS's first day was a half day because the school buildings were dangerously hot. Also I'm a fucking mess and screwed up the start time for his first day of school and he was 45 minutes late. I'm still upset over it.

Up - I have successfully gotten DS2 down for 2+ naps each day this week
Up - since I have been able to get him down I have been able to work out 5 days this week.
Down - DS2 has been waking up at least 3 times a night since we started sleep training and I think a lot of it is habitual. This morning he woke at 4:40 and there was no getting him back down (first nap was at 7 am).
Down - No matter how hard I work out I cannot lose weight. I would like to lose 5-10 lbs but the scale will just not budge.
Weekend plans - No plans for this weekend. My parents are taking DS1 over night on Saturday. Today is my mom's last day of round 1 of chemo/radiation so I hope she is up for it tomorrow.

Same here on the weight thing stardust84. Nothing helps. It’s making me crazy. I’m sorry about the late thing calendula. It would upset me too but I hope it fades soon. Shit happens. Up: L loves preschool and I love a quiet house for 2.5 hours Up: THE BASEMENT IS ALMOST DONE AND WE CAN MOVE FURNITURE DOWN THERE AFTER THIS WEEKEND. OMFG. Down: B has been sleeping like shit Down: I think our oldest dog is deteriorating quicker than we have noticed. But it’s SOs dog and he doesn’t think so. I spend a lot of time worrying that he’s in more pain than we think he is. He’s been riding this line for a long time and it’s so hard to decide when to make the decision to put him down.

Ups: - L is really moving with his army crawling. It’s so exciting to see! - H is almost done painting the bathroom. I will be so glad to have it (and him) back.
Downs: - L’s extreme fussiness continues. He’s only happy being held or with the pacifier. I desperately did not want to be that Mom that is constantly popping in the pacifier every time he’s fussy, but that is me now. And he has a stuffy nose so he keeps spitting it out because he can’t breathe. But then he gets mad because he doesn’t have it. 🤦🏼♀️ - I’m feeling pretty blah about my weight loss. I’m at a standstill weight wide, which isn’t too far off from my pre-preg weight, but my belly is just so flabby and ugh. I haven’t been motivated to work out much lately, especially because it would mean sacrificing sleep to do it.
My parents are coming down to visit this weekend. My dad is incapable of relaxing, so we have a list of house projects he’ll be helping us with... putting up the trim in the bathroom, pulling out the hideous bushes in our front landscaping, fixing the outdoor faucet, and whatever else he can find that needs fixed. I bought some more totes, so I’ll go through the clothes L had grown out of to organize and store them, then rotate the next sizes into his dresser.

Up- got a haircut for the 1st time since O was born! Up- I pulled out the fall decorations and it’s giving me happy feels to see it all put out and DD’s excitement about it!
Down- realized that my new car is incompatible with our current convertible car seat and I need to go shopping for one of the few that will work. Down- h has been on my nerves this week and he’s really been bad about communicating. We had an argument about it in Wednesday and it seems to be better. I’m hoping we can go on a date night tonight with my new hair😁

@alwaycheese sorry about the sleep troubles! L’s sleep gets so messed up when we go out of town too. He’s not STTN yet, but we go from 1-2 wakeups to 3-4 the weekend we’re gone and the next couple nights back at home.

Up - I'm finally seeing a little bit of process on weight loss. It's slow but it's something!
Up - Ellie has started crawling...backwards. It's the funniest thing.
Down - Em's preschool teacher left so she has a new teacher this year
Down - Summer hours ended last week so I have to stay at work full day today. Ugh.
Weekend plans - We're having my H's extended family over tomorrow. Ugh. I like his extended family but his parents just give me anxiety because of our issues.

cornpop DS1's preschool teacher left this year, so he we have a new teacher too. Up- My boys on the drive to daycare in the morning. DS1 one sings and talks and DS2 just laughs and smiles at him. It always melts my heart! Up- It is Friday...that is about all I have. Down- I will jump on the weight train and say my weight. I gained 10-15 pounds over the summer. I really need to get it off so I will have pants that fit when the cooler weather comes. I NEED MOTIVATION. Down- Packing to move...I really dislike this part of moving. Weekend plans: Packing, going to a family reunion on Sunday (I need to figure out something to bring), hopefully finding a few minutes to relax.

Up- we sold our house! Got a bit less than we first thought we would when we put it for sale but given our funny market right now it’s a good result!
Down- the buyer didn’t pay their deposit, something went wrong with the deposit they are getting from the person who bought their house. Means we can’t buy a house we like that’s going to auction, but could be a blessing in disguise? We could pull the sale since they’re in breach of contract but that’s really not going to help us so we’re letting them have an extension. Their lawyer sucks which also isn’t their fault.
Up- I can fit into more of my pre baby clothes so don’t need to spend money on more clothes, I haven’t lost all my weight, I’ve hit plateau but at least I have some pants that fit.
Down- surgery needed for pelvic prolapse stuff. I really don’t want to.

Up: J is the happiest, smiley baby! I love his toothless grins.
Down: My cousin is getting married next weekend and I’m sad that we aren’t able to go. Darn this money and lack of time stuff.
Up: I got all the little things done to renew my teaching license. I also signed up to take the cpr class I need at the Red Cross next month. The last thing I have on my list is to call the University and figure out how to enroll and get a copy of the course descriptions. I need to take two classes.
Down: I got a call yesterday from the school counselor for DD. She told a teacher that she wanted to kill her self today. She’s 5, so she doesn’t really get what that means. We’ve talked about why you don’t say things like that, but she has the personality that I’m afraid she’ll say it more just because I don’t want her to.
Tonight we have a babysitter lined up for the kids and we’re going to a friends surprise birthday party. Sunday we’re going to see Disney on Ice.

I keep missing these but usually by a week. I’m only a few days late so I’m going to post away.
Up: we had a beach party for all of the new preschoolers and it was our first chance to get out and meet people with kids since we moved here. I think I actually met some people! I am so excited about the idea of us having friends with kids out here.
Up: DS1 loves preschool! He is begging to go back and on Friday his teacher told us he is very social. He is so excited to make friends! I’m so proud of him.
Down: I am so tired. I can’t seem to get enough sleep now that I’m back at work. I went from one tea in the morning to 2-3 caffeinated drinks a day. I used to be at zero.
Down: I’ll complain about weight loss too. I was doing so good right before I went back to work and now I’m finding it challenging. Work is so demanding and I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to take care of myself, be there (for the limited time I have) for the kids, and work out. Also I can’t seem to get this last bit of my stomach to firm back up. It’s driving me crazy.

Up: vacation was amazing. We loved the house we rented and the girls were both so so well behaved/easy going.
Down: DD2 has the horrific cough/cold we all just went through. It’s so so sad.
Up: we have a very small DC and one of the families is not a great fit. (They have a v v different parenting style - think old school in terms of discipline) and they are moving soon! DD2 will likely take their spot.
Down: my sister recently moved and I really miss her 😭 I don’t have many local friends and even fewer with kids or that actually want to hangout with my and the girls. And, Super selfishly, I’m sad Indont have an amazing FREE babysitter anymore.
