How is it September already? No plans here. SO is cleaning the basement for the painters, I'm trying to get DD back to some sort of semblance of sleep at a reasonable hour before school starts on Tuesday, and I have to spend today cleaning my parents' house (where DD and I are staying) as they decided to come home tomorrow so they can help with DD on the first day of school.
There's a street festival in my neighbourhood tomorrow so I'll try to take DD to that...but it will be full of my students so on second thought we might skip it.
Maybe we'll drive out to the falls if the traffic isn't too bad.

going to colorado for a family wedding this weekend. we leave tomorrow and i just don't want to pack. in theory it sounds like a fun weekend, but i know it will be exhausting and i kind of just want to relax at home.
we should be able to get into our house next week (finally!), but the vanity we ordered for our bathroom came damaged and it is out of stock until october. ugh, i'm hoping we can find something similar so it doesn't prevent us from getting in when we're supposed to. it's our only full bathroom in the house so that's kind of the issue!g

Nothing much going on here this weekend. Plan on watching football and eating not-so-healthy game day foods.😊
Also, I tried my home doppler this morning (at 8w4d) and found baby's heartbeat!! 😍 That sound never gets old. Wish I could figure out how to share the video I took of it.

polson we're heading out of town for a wedding this weekend too and I'm really wishing we could skip and chill at home. We live about 3 hours from most of our family/friends so we're always going somewhere on the weekends. We're staying at the ILs again and after last weekend there, H ordered a new mattress on Amazon since all the mattresses at their house are old and hard af. I was hoping it would be there by this weekend but no such luck.

mattsgirl2004, can you link to your doppler? I'm still wavering if I want one or not. My H thinks it'll drive me insane. He's probably right. My parents closed on their house yesterday. It was a freaking disaster but now they live around the corner from us! I'm excited. I'm also planning on my daughter wanting to walk over there all the freaking time. No real plans this weekend. I have to get my daughter signed up for mommy & me gymnastics. I keep putting it off and still don't feel like doing it but I think it's starting soon so I need to get my act together. It's one of my cousin's birthday's this weekend so I'm kind of hoping my uncle will invite us over for that so we can go swimming in their pool

cornpop I have no idea how to do that. I'm obviously not very tech savvy. 😕

I'm headed to Delaware tomorrow afternoon to visit my mom/dad, sister, etc. We'll stay overnight and leave late Sunday to miss any traffic. Other than that - no plans. It's super chilly here today - as much as I love 4 seasons, I really am going to miss summer. August was so unseasonably cool here that it has felt like fall for a couple of weeks already.

We are leaving bright and early for a week vacation at the beach! DS goes to a Catholic school that starts on 9/11, after all the public schools start, so there were no camps or daycares I could send him to for the week of Labor Day. DH and I figured that if one of us was going to have to take a week of vacation time, may as well take advantage and get away! I am so excited to spend a whole week with my guys <3. Plus it will be a great time to be there. No crowds, the rental house was cheap, and the ice cream shop is now carrying pumpkin ice cream ;-)

We don't have any plans for the weekend, which I guess is good since DD is sick and I'm still feeling pretty crummy. I did just book tickets to Disney in Jan though. I've been wanting to go for a while, and thought it might be nice to go on a final trip as a family of 3.

I am off work today, work Saturday, off Sunday, then work Monday and am off on Tuesday. Lol. It feels very weird.
I was supposed to work Sunday but my manager is the best and worked it so I could have it off (without taking any PTO) so that I could spend time with my brother and my family. He is home (he's in the Navy) just for this weekend and I was super bummed because I worked basically the whole time he was here. I am excited I got Sunday off!!

Now that cabinet has been overtaken so I have no idea where they're going.

We've moved since DS1 was a baby, so there's never been a bottle cabinet at this house.

I'm eating all of the worst things right now because they actually sound appetizing and Ovia is trying to give me a guilt trip over it. Not today, Ovia. Not today

Like... I am going to have to find places for all of these new things because I AM HAVING A BABY! Well I didn't realize this until I read your post. And I even helped my SIL clear out some of her kitchen cabinets for baby stuff a few weeks ago and never even thought that I'd need to do it too. I did however start cleaning out our closet and baby's room closet, since it is full of extra clothes and about 100 of MH's sports jerseys. And a bunch of random things I didn't know where else to put last time I cleaned out our closets.

We were pregnant when we moved into this house and after that loss I basically never went in that room. There are some random baby things I just threw in that closet though so at least it is relevant? That room is currently our guest room though so I need to switch some furniture around. I don't think I will start dealing with the nursery part of things until we find out sex though.

Holy cow, I just saw ran to the grocery store and the traffic was horrendous. My usual 15 minute drive took me an hour. We both work this weekend but have Monday off together.

We were supposed to go to Niagra Falls, but ***potential TW*** my dad had a heart attack yesterday. The doctor wasn't sure he would survive surgery, but he did! There still is a long road ahead, but the doctors are happy with how things are going right now. So, we are spending the weekend with my mom and visiting my dad.

cornpop they are green grapes that have a hint of cotton candy flavor to them. I don't know what magic did this to them, and they are non-gmo, but whatever it is - they are freaking amazing. And only come out this time of year.

ETA I even bought the little dishwasher basket for bottle parts, but did not think about kitchen storage.
