Afternoon all,
Busy Saturday morning with gymnastics and sportball for B. Miss J is napping now then we’re heading to the grocery store, all 4 of us, I’m eye rolling us.
MH has torn, or something, to his calf yesterday trying to play sports with the youths at work. So he’s being a pill, which is kinda our new normal lately with some shit going on.

On the subject of fake meat... I love Morningstar Bacon! My kids like it too. wineallthetime are you afraid L will get into stuff upstairs? My L has free reign of the house for the most part 😬

I have never tried any meat substitutes, but now I’m curious. Qorn brand chicken nuggets are the BEST!

Consider my mind blown from this government shut down talk. I’m sorry but isn’t the government supposed to show strength and steadiness during rough times, IDK BECAUSE THEY’RE THE GOVERNMENT. Shaking my head over here, i truly don’t understand. It happened I 2013 too. (Hence trtlcrzy’s quote above.) Crazy shit.

Hi! Hope your crew is better soon dapostrophe. flamingo glad the heat is fixed now. inthekitty I’m angry for you. tallb glad your two seem to be ok today. I tried the Beyond Meat burger back on maternity leave and all I can say is YUCK. I bought it at Whole Foods because of the packaging. It was my first time trying something like that and the smell of it cooking was awful and carried into the taste of it. Now that you all talk about veggie burgers and such, I’m curious about those and will have to try a few mentioned.

After weeks of it being too cold to enjoy being outside on the weekends, it was finally nice out today. I took M2 out for a stroll in the wagon and he loved it. We also had his 6 month pictures today— 4 days before he is 7 months. Lol. I think they went all and can’t wait to see them.
MH took M to get a haircut while we were at the photographer’s and they stayed out for a bit. They are on the way back with dinner in tow. It would have been nice to go out, but would rather stay in with this flu going around. Both boys keep their fingers in their mouth, unfortunately.

After a morning of cleaning the house from top to bottom, I think I caught the nasty. Oh well, at least the bathrooms will be clean when I am visiting them 😑

dapostrophe oh no! I hope it's short lived. Today was busy. Hockey game, then DD had to go learn her floor routine at gymnastics, then grocery shopping, then gymnastics team pictures. We still haven't had dinner. Luckily tomorrow is nothing except football at my sister's.

Maybe he’ll do what H did and wake up after a few hours. She stayed up later than normal but at least she slept till her normal wake up time.

I have never tried any meat substitutes, but now I’m curious. Pete and I mostly like them for the novelty. The boys like them because they don't know any different. I think if you're trying to cut back on meat for environmental or ethical reasons, then why not? Or if you just like to try new things. If you're looking for them to be healthier, they really aren't. A few servings of hydrolyzed soy protein will raise your IGF-1 just like eating animals does.

FX you are better in the morning, dapostrophe. I woke up feeling pretty decent but got nauseated around noon and took a 3 hour nap. It didn't help much. TMI Alert: I pooped my pants. And Atticus has a raging fever.

Our upstairs isn't super baby proofed and it's just easier to contain her downstairs unless I'm up there. She's be in the trash, toilets, sinks, my jewlery box, pulling all the laundry out, ect.

cagoldi woof. Not awesome. Hope tomorrow is better. N and I have a glorious walk, I seriously didn't want to turn back to come home but knew I'd end up in the city with a cranky baby if I didn't. She is a snotty mess and didn't want to nurse before bed though 😞. Hoping she's fever free tomorrow and back in business by Monday, but I'm not that lucky.

The kids are down and MH went to the mall to shop for some pants, Lol, at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. Good thing the mall is open until 9pm.
I’m having some popcorn and a drink in peace. Quite delightful.

My parents are here so LO is refusing to go to sleep. My mom isn't helping by going in every few minutes to tell him to stop talking. She knows I have a video monitor and I tell him to knock it off if he's doing anything he's not suppose to. I don't mind him talking himself to sleep because he tends to sleep in more those days.

My child keeps asking questions about jail.... Do you know why she is bringing it up? I have no idea. We have been reading Lady and the Tramp at bedtime lately and she always points out Lady is in jail when she is in the dog pound. Last night after I tucked her in she asked if bad guys are in jail, how did they get there, can they get out, what happens if they get out, etc. I'm wondering if it is something her friends at school have started talking about or some sort of game. I freaked out a little the other day at pick up when 4 of the kids were running around "shooting" each other with "guns" they had made with various blocks. One little girl ran up to me, pointed to the end of hers and said, "this is the kill part" and then ran off. Not really the type of game I want my kid participating in. (Cadence wasn't playing with these kids at the time, but it still threw me off a bit). She tends to dwell on things for a few days and then move on to a new topic, so I'm hoping jail is just one of those things.

The kids at Dude's school had a phase like this that apparently they had to start telling them all "no jail talk."

Waking up in the 5 o'clock hour clearly is my new normal because when Charlie didn't make a sound until 530 and didn't really call again to get up until 550, I felt like I won the lottery.

Morning! Kids went to bed late because we were at a friend's house last night. They're still sleeping, woohoo! We are going to my sister and BIL's restaurant for brunch this morning. I also need to find the energy and motivation to be productive.

Morning! Lovely day today. Took a stroll to feed the ducks. We’re taking ds to the theatre this afternoon and afterwards we’re heading to a nephews’ birthday party. Hope all the sick kids and moms are doing better!

It was my morning to sleep in and I was so looking forward to it. Unfortunately Dh didn't seem to notice that C was up in my room waking me for a half an hour because "no one will play with me!" After I come downstairs in a huff Dh says "C I told you I would play with you in a second!" Dude, he was with me for 30 mins. That is not a second. I'm fully awake now and pretty agitated.
