Morning. Last nights sleep went better for me. Except that DH let the kids wake me up earlier than I wanted to wake up. I’m going to take H in to get a trim in a little bit. We might go sledding or tubing later and then tonight I’m going to a friend’s house for a late Christmas party. I have to find something around my house to give as a white elephant gift. Bring that necklace you got! Ha! I would but the kids have claimed it.

Morning. I'm sitting outside of target having a coffee. I was going to take N to the playground but she fell asleep in the stroller. J wants a "lazy day" but he hasn't had a fever since daycare said he did Thursday, and it's 60 degrees out, we are leaving the house! I also moved ns clothes into the kids room. I shoved everything into one of those hanging sweater racks from Ikea. I wish I knew if we were done having kids so I could purge all this baby stuff. Right now I'm leaning towards done, but will wait a bit longer before making the call. Have you ever tried space bags?

I need these, I don’t even want to tell y’all how many totes we have with everything from kid gear to garage stuff to Xmas decor. I started sorting C’s stuff this morning for a big consignment sale next month; need to dig B’s stuff out of the attic next.

Morning. Glad the kids are seemingly better guster. wineallthetime I’m about the same this morning. Trying to keep up with the boys. Thanks for asking. M2 doesn’t want to go down for his morning nap. He was up a little earlier than normal, so I was hoping he would go down no problem and I could catch a few more z’s, but nope. When MH gets home, I’m headed to Target to get a few baby items and a birthday gift for a party M is invited to. I got a text last week from the mom of one of M’s besties at his old school inviting him to her party. She’s been missing him and I’m excited he’ll get to see people from his old school. He’s been talking about it since I told him, so he can’t wait.

I need to look up these space bags. Like flamingo, we have many totes full of stuff. This house was perfect when it was just the three of us, but now that we have M2, I could use another room or two. I’m not moving again until MH gets a better opportunity elsewhere, so I just have to make do and purge often.

I'm at my 2 hour glucose test. And starving. It's always so cold in here.
We're taking my SM out to dinner for her birthday tonight. It's a BBQ place so I'm going to need to eat beforehand unless I want to pay $20 for a salad with nothing on it.

C moved into the next level up of swim and the teacher kind of stinks at keeping the kids engaged. I'm not thrilled but we are halfway through 8 weeks so I'll just sign up again with a different instructor. After swim Dh and I swam with him for a bit then we went to the puppy adoption thing. There was one special puppy but it wasn't ours and we knew it so we left. We would prefer an adult anyway but I wanted to go and meet the organization in person since all of our interactions have been phone or email.
C is napping and I'm going to nap soon too. Then date night later!

Dh recently told me he want to cook more and learn more about cooking. I love to cook so I’m happy he want to try it more.
So I think I’m going to sign us up for a couples cooking class as his valentines gift. I an never think of anything for valentines, so I’m pretty excited about it!

Greetings. I’m working all day today. We have the 3rd day of a 3-day training today. MH is sick so I’m expecting he will be super crabby when i get home because he was stuck parenting today. Fun.

I need to take a few more bins.. a lot I don't love so I may just toss and keep favorites

Woke up at 8 and had to rush to get ready for gymnastics and get there on time. Her friend got moved to the 5-6 class. I asked Cadence if she was ok with it and she said, "sure, I just made new friends". We'll, ok then.
Then we went on an LOL hunt that took us to Toys R Us. We also brought home a Doc McStuffins cat with carrier and vet supplies.
Then we went to a woman's house for dance shoes. 3 pairs of tap, 1 pair of ballet, and 2 leos for just $60. She told me to keep her number since she does it as a side business. For that price, I will absolutely be keeping her number.

Good morning. MH let me sleep until 9:45!! Hopefully we will finish the kitchen cabinets today and can start working on the counter tops.... it’s looking good so far! I’m happy! Glad the kids did well last night guster! Pics please! I need to see how these cabinets and countertops turned out. Did you guys paint or spray? We had one of DH's hockey buddies (who works at an auto paint place) bring his sprayer over to do ours, but I ended up touching up with a roller anyway.

I took mh to Costco this am to get a new IPhone. Now he is swearing at it while trying to set it up. He is not tech savvy at all and has a low threshold for these things.
How is it that I bought like 7 things at Costco and still paid over $200! At least we are set on TP and dishwasher pods.

Our kids are eating a ‘snack plate’ which is basically dinner with a few potato crisps added that they are allowed to eat in front of a movie. The kids looooove this! ETA dinner consists of raw carrots, cucumbers, a boiled egg, slice of bread, two chicken nugget and a few mini meat balls. Dd also gets half a avocado. I do something similar for lunch in the summer. My kids call it snack tray. It usually has fruit, yogurt, cheese, cold cuts, crackers and a small treat. Works great on hot days when I don't want to cook. I call these "mom-ables"

S/O renovating, I need to do something about our bathroom of horrors. The plan was to tear out the wall to the shower/toilet room and pretty much gut it this spring, but it looks that's going to have to be put on hold. Thanks baby #5 😒 Anyway, I am going to have my son paint it today, because I can't take the blue anymore, but I will need some help with rest. I want to fix it up just enough to be able to live in it for awhile, but not pour so much money in that I will be heartbroken when we tear it all out. My biggest problem is going to be lighting, because I need it to be bright. It's a dark little area. Thoughts, ideas? I mean, it's a blank canvas at this point.

dapostrophe What color are you doing on the walls? If it were me, I'd also paint the cabinet and replace the light fixture up above. Cabinet color would depend on the walls...you could go light, or navy or similar could be fun. You could also do a new faucet for relatively low cost ($50 or less)...if your H is at all handy he could probably DIY it. Does that mirror have a shelf? That is...interesting! Do you think you could take it down easily and replace it with something more updated-looking? Mirrors are great b/c they reflect light. I would also add some cabinet hardware/pulls and a towel bar to the right of the sink. Fresh white towels help to make a space feel crisp and clean, IMO.

dapostrophe What color are you doing on the walls? *Snip details*. Not sure about wall colors, but I thought about something like a sage. I would go light, but I'm not sure if a color would still cast a weird tone for doing makeup etc? My bedroom walls are BM Edgecomb Gray, so I could just continue it in there. Or, I also have a can of White Dove downstairs if I wanted to go white. I am open to suggestions, I really just want to brighten it up! My H is very handy, so we can go nuts 😉 I could even replace the counter top, if I paint the cabinets. We did a stained butcher block counter top with a vessel sink in the downstairs bathroom that I could repeat up here for a low cost stop-gap solution. ETA: pic for reference on how room flows into bathroom if that's helpful.

dapostrophe green is like the worst color for a bathroom. Messes up all the tones you see for makeup. I would do the white dove, and then maybe a dark grey on the cabinets. ETA: like this:

Maybe I am wrong and that was just the original origin Insulin is something your body produces. I don’t think they have people with GD take any insulin, they just manage with diet.
