We don't have much going on today. I think we may take the kids to this outdoor adventure center. It's a huge place focused on showing kids all of the outdoor recreational things to do in MI. It looks really cool and everyone I've talked to said their kids have loved it. Bonus- it'll only be $13 for the 4 of us to go!

Nothing big planned over here today. The big one has his robotics competition reveal today, so he can't wait. The 11yo has a sewing class this afternoon. I'm finishing up a curtain project. It's still supposed to be below freezing with a strong wind chill, so I'm just fine sticking close to home. Might play around with an instant pot recipe.

I think I'm only about an hour from you if you are where I think you are!

Hi! Just eating some oatmeal and a poached egg over here while the kids watch Peg + Cat. Josie has decided she is now afraid of the dark and can't fall asleep without a light. She told me she also needs it in the middle of the night and the glow stuffed animal she has in there isn't cutting it. I would be fine with her sleeping with the light. I did it for most of my adolescence and teenage years, but she shares a room with Charlie who needs dark to sleep. We ordered another glow stuffed animal, and hope that that will do the trick.

Oh that'd be hard! C sleeps with a nightlight and his sound machine light and it's bright! L is like Charlie and needs a dark room.

Morning all.
I’m hanging out in J’s room, she’s a bit off with a low fever and doesn’t know if she wants to rest or get up. Fun.
I should get a coffee, I guess the day has started.
Mom is taking B overnight, it’s his last free Saturday before gymnastics and sportball start up, I need to look at Sunday swim lessons for him as well.

guster could a roomdiving curtain work? My sister and I slept in the same room for ages and my mom hung up curtains in the middle. For us it was more about ‘who’s area belonged to who’, but maybe it could work in this situation too.

I hope it passes quickly and you all get some rest.

A little Tylenol and her nursing pillow and she’s back asleep. I swear she’s never going to get rid of that pillow.

I know this might sound callous, but she's been sleeping without a night light since Charlie moved in at ~5 months. I get that irrational fears will happen, but I don't want to enable it. She has a light in her bed, and I'm willing to give her another but that's it. 🤷🏻♀️

I hope you feel better peachsmamaMorning. Millie woke up at 545 and hasn’t stopped asking for food. I have therapy at noon after not going for a few months. I think I’ll have lots to talk about. Also, I almost burned the house down. I was trying to light a candle and the match broke in half and the lit part flew behind the BOOKshelf. I was able to get to it before anything caught on fire. I now realize we don’t have a fire extinguisher in this house. So getting two this weekend. That’s all I’ve got.

You’re so cute and sentimental, i love it. J cuddles that pillow way more than she’s ever cuddled me, she’s a little Miss independent.

Morning. We’re up and n has been bouncing around in our room for an hour. Seems like her fever is gone so we’ll probably end up going to the birthday party. Which means i also need to get a gift this morning.
Dh is going fishing this afternoon so it’ll just be me and the kids for the evening. I need to think of something to get us out of the house.

Hence the reason my entire attic is full 😉. I’m not the first one in my family btw, little miss J is wearing my old rubber wellies, guess who kept them for 31 years?! Btw I think our J’s would get along just fine, mine thinks she’s already 8 or something.

Morning! S needs a dark space to sleep. I’m sure that is a difficult thing to navigate when you have 2 kids with opposite preferences sharing a room. guster. peachsmama I hope you feel better soon. And if you didn’t make it to the dr yesterday GO TODAY ::in my best mom voice:: MH is sick too. He’s not listening to me though. He won’t go to the dr. He is going duck hunting instead. Because sitting out in the cold and ice is certainly a great idea when you think you have pneumonia 🙄 I’m trying to convince MH to make me eggs Benedict for breakfast even though he doesn’t feel good. Lol. But if he’s *well* enough to go duck hunting I figure he could do me this one thing before he leaves. I just want him to poach the eggs, I can do the rest. I’ve been craving this for weeks now! I need to have it!
