So it’s kind of funny. Mh and I are totally hook, line and sinker for Sandals resorts. So last night we booked another trip! Although this time we went w their Beaches resort so that we can bring the kids! April 2019, here we come 🏖 Fun! Makes it a bit easier to leave if you know you get to come back. What island? When I was graduating college I had a job offer w/ Sandals resorts as a hospitality designer, but it would’ve meant living in Miami, which I didn’t really want to do. Probably would’ve gotten some cool trips out of the deal, tho! Oh wow- yes, I’m sure you would’ve been offered all the free stays! We’re going to come back to Jamaica. They only have 3 Beaches - 2 here and 1 in Turks & Caicos. T&C was a little more than we wanted to spend.

Today's water cooler talk with one of the 60yr old ladies: "Did you see the sexual harassment training email? I thought that went out in the 70s" "Besides money why do porn stars do it? Love yourself." "I have a friend who is married and her and her husband both eff other people. Why would you be married if you aren't satisfied."

There is a new Samsung Galaxy 9 being released next week and I am in need of a new phone. I can't decide if I go with the S8 model or the S9 model. I usually keep my phones for 3yrs so I try not to be too far behind the tech. But it is exciting to get new tech. This is my life

She thought people just suddenly quit sexually harassing coworkers 40-50 years ago?

Also, I’m not even a cat person but I’m having a hard time not cuddling, feeding, petting etc all the feral cats here! Now I really need to go to Sandals. Glad you're having such a great trip, yummeecookee! Sorry your vacation had to be postponed, Sunny41.

I asked her if she watched the news recently and she said no (I believe her). I told her as someone who experienced sexually harassment and got someone fired for it, I think it is good to have these refreshers.

Sunny41 , if you keep for 3 years. I would go for the newer model, although i personally would go for the older model just to save money lol. How long you all keep your phones before buying or trading in? I feel like I start having issues with mine about 2 years in, but i tend to buy more basic smartphones We've been pretty lucky with the Galaxy phones. The only real issue I have is with storage space and the apps need more than 16gb internal space to run. My cache has to be cleared every other day. But I don't feel like software has limited it's use. MH had his iphone for 3yrs and it seemed like they tried to force an upgrade (well they actually did with the battery stuff). Like they did an update that would only allow apple cords for charging not 3rd party cords.

Morning! Woke up with another headache.. thinking it might have something to do with he mattress pad input on our bed last weekend. Bummer, it’s so comfy!
Preschool for N and ecfe with h in a little bit and then I have a ton of errands to run for an event we’re putting on next weekend. I need to try and wrangle more donations for raffle prizes.
Then my parents are babysitting while we go to a meeting tonight.

Cadence came to my bed at midnight. We had a rough bedtime, so I'm really not surprised. I asked her then if she had to pee, no response and she went straight to sleep. She started moving a bunch around 4, so again I asked her if she needed to pee. No response. I should have gotten up myself so that she would follow, but I didn't. 5 am and I"m wet, my beds wet, Cadence is wet and sitting up just looking at the bed like wtf? I haven't been peed on since she was an infant. Joy. So I got her up and changed, took the sheets off my bed and put a towel down on the mattress (luckily it is ikea and I can unzip the cover to wash when I get home tonight). At that point Cadence says, "Can we just stay up for the day now?" Uh...no. So I sent her back to her bed where she instantly fell back to sleep and I laid on a towel for the next hour and half. I'm tired.
TL;DR: I got peed on last night, have a ton of laundry to do tonight, and I'm tired.

Morning! Colin woke up wet for the first time in maybe the last 10 nights? He was so out of it though, I wasn't overly surprised. He hasn't been pushing to go back to underwear so we're just going to keep him in pull-ups for the time being. I was NOT into the constant laundry that we were dealing with those last couple weeks he was in underwear. You know, before the 6 weeks or so of mostly dry nights. So weird. As for Chase... So he's finally talking more and coincidentally - or most likely, not - he's doing so much better at night. He's still waking up in the MOTN or a good 20 minutes to 1/2 hour before it's time to get up, but he just talks and sings in bed. I wonder if that's been a huge part of the crying? We've been so frustrated because Colin stopped crying in the MOTN much younger, but hey, he was also far more verbal. So maybe we've made a big leap?!?! I can hope, anyhow. T minus 2 days until we fly out to New Orleans! I got an email from C this morning so we're trying to plan a meet-up or two since we have a pretty decent overlap. And of course I'm hoping to meet up with SweetPotato too. DH is even game, which I was a bit surprised about. He tends to isolate himself and he make very little effort to socialize, BUT once he's out, he's insta-friends with everyone. My co-workers LOVE him even though it's like pulling teeth to get him to come to my work functions. Of course it ends up being just as hard to get him to leave! So it should be such a fun weekend. I just need to survive a couple more work days, which right now, seems painful. I think I checked out Monday afternoon. Whoops.

Murder has been illegal forever and that's why nobody gets murdered anymore. Oh, wait...

flamingo is that the video with "I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA?" The girls I babysat when I was in high school watch that 3 million times. I can perform every song on it. DD has a classmate and I thought the mom was the grandmother. I just joined a Facebook group for my graduating class and she's in it (we had over 600 so it's not usual for me to not have known someone) but now I'm hoping I don't look like a grandma. We got the "someone has lice" text from T's school so I'm currently melting his sleeping bag in the hottest cycle my washer has.

I love the mortgage broker we're with working with. So smart on the phone and explain things really easily and he's super personable and funny. He friended me on Facebook yesterday. So when I clicked on his profile, I found out he's anti-vax, and i'm so disappointed.

Yep! It was a favorite of my younger cousins so my aunt gave my kids a copy. B hasn’t really been interested in it much til lately. C loves it and waves/says hi to Mickey and Minnie.

C got up at 5:45 because he wet the bed for the second time this week. I can’t blame over hydrating because he didn’t last night. Sucks. We've been playing with Josie's drinks to see what happens overnight. Usually she takes her last sip of a drink around five and goes to bed around 645. Sometimes, she'll ask for a tiny sip of something before she brushes her teeth at 630 or so. It apparently doesn't matter because her pull up is soaked no matter what. S rarely wets the bed - like maybe 3 times in the past 6 months (of course now he will do it tonight...) but it never has any relation to how much he drinks. Randomly he will not pee before bed, and I am always so nervous that he'll wet the bed... and nothing. Last night he last peed at 7:30 before bath, had a few sips of water before bed, didn't fall asleep till after 9, woke up at 7:30, didn't pee till almost 8 when I forced him to. But the last time he wet the bed he had peed right before bed and drank nothing afterwards. Who knows.

I'm sorry @ nam2013... that is huge bummer! Can you PM the recipe too flamingo?? @yummecookee I'm assuming Sandals are all inclusive? And clearly worth if it you are already booking another trip on your current trip, lol. I will keep that in mind! We haven't had an alone vacation since 2012. I've been sitting at the church doing homework while my kids are here at preschool. Not really how I want to spend my free time but it's gotta be done!

dapostrophe I have friends who are, I think the term is "attachment parents"? Like breastfeed till 4 or so, cosleep, only wear the baby (don't believe in strollers), don't believe in discipline, etc. I agree with some of it, but I think they are the ones that push it too far. Anyway, to each their own, the kids are cute and sweet, so whatever floats their boat. But she recently shared an article on social media about how vaccines are bad and about the "right to choose" for your family. Then she flew her unvaccinated 3 y/o and 3 month old to a much less developed country for a week.

Hi from the car! We got up around 6 this morning to head to California. It’s the earliest I’ve gotten up for the day since C’s been born since dh has been handling mornings and getting the boys to school. I forgot how much of not a morning person I am, lol. Luckily we had the car all packed the night before so I just nursed the baby and we got in the car and I went back to sleep for two hours. I like leaving early though because we will get in early enough to have a mostly full day today.
Oh, and I had my six week checkup yesterday and got cleared for sex. Dh is so excited. I am...... not. And on that note I decided to do the Nuvaring since the existence of both Landon and Charlotte tell me I’m not great about taking the pill. Anyone have experience with it and what did you think?
