Morning ladies. Dd slept till 7!!! And the doctor gave me something for the persistent cough, which helped me sleep, so I finally feel a little bit like myself today! Both kids are fever free, things are looking up!

Good morning, everyone!
@wine I hope you're resting up and today is uneventful. You been able to see the kids since Sunday?
MH has a half-day today, so I'm going to run to the grocery store solo since he'll be home after I drop Josie off at school. I'm looking forward to a solo trip. The house contracts have been signed, and the rider just went out to the other attorney, so we should be able to do the appraisal and set a closing date soon soon soon! I'm trying really hard not to focus on the new furniture I want because I promised myself I wouldn't do anything except little things like throw pillows and baskets and vases. So if my children play nicely this morning, I'm going to spiral on throw pillows and pink paint for Josie.

Morning, all. Not much to report here. Another busy day on the schedule. I lost three pounds in a week, so I was very pleased with that. I've been working out like a maniac, and I really watched my diet. This week hasn't been as good for what I've eaten, but I'm going to turn that around.
One of my closest friends just found out she's pregnant, and since I'm the only person besides her husband who knows, I've gotten all the pictures, all the comments, etc. I haven't been handling it very well.

wineallthetime, I haven't been on since the weekend, so I'm not sure what's going on, but I hope you and baby wine are ok.

Morning!
It's supposed to rain here today but is currently sunny and clear, just freezing. I'm looking at Easter outfits for B online and counting the minutes til our trip to FL at the end of the month. We just found out DH gets Good Friday off so we can leave a day earlier!
We need to return some library books today, but otherwise nothing on the agenda. I'm trying to decide if I want to take the kids down to Charleston next week mid-week. An escape from the cold sounds lovely right now.

guster so fun to decorate kids rooms!!! Agreed! I'm already mentally/Pinterest planning C's, despite having no actual plans to re-do hers anytime soon. I swing back and forth between trying to incorporate some of her nursery stuff (drapes, color scheme, etc), or doing something completely different. I'm sure my H would prefer the former to the latter

Morning Ladies! Last night My 5 y/o came in to sleep with us because he had a bad dream about an alligator loose in our house that caught him and ate him. We had a discussion at 3 am about how I would not let that happen and I would catch it and call the zoo to come get it, to get him to finally fall back to sleep. He is still asleep with H, but Evie just came downstairs and told me she had a dream about an alligator that ate her all up! They sleep in separate rooms and she has not spoken to DS yet, so what is going on with the alligator terror around here?

Morning chrisy01! How are you today? I'm ok. I'm tired and sore so par for the course. Trying to get things ready and organized for when I go out on leave.

I'm sure my H would prefer the former to the latter This is exactly where I am with Charlie. Josie will get some new stuff because she wants a primarily pink color scheme, but Charlie has nothing. I might leave him pretty plain (thinking navy, white, and grey and probably stripes -- which I really already have) until he gets a little older and can talk to me more about colors or patterns.

J has an appointment at 10:45. He was still asleep when I called at 8 so I didn't take the earlier appointment because he needed the rest. He was up a lot last night. Of course he just woke up but oh well. This way I don't have to rush him. M is already in a very hyper mood so that doesn't bode well for the grocery.. Wish me luck there. I'm trying to get some work done while they eat breakfast. But J likes me to sit with them and not at the computer lol.

I love talking decorating the new houses we all have! M has requested a blue room with dinosaurs, J wants construction vehicles. I was going to do simple art and wall decals so it's easy to change as they get older. The play room I can't decide if I want to go full out kid colors or keep it simple. It's off the living room so I'd leaning towards simple.

It's one of B's favorites and is supposed to help children conquer their fear of the monster-in-the-closet scenario, but I always feel like it could go either way! The little boy is convinced there's an alligator under his bed but of course it always disappears when his parents come in. He finally decides to lure it out to the garage and traps it there for his dad to find in the morning. Probably not the best choice for your kids at this point, lol.

Morning ladies, good title today! I stayed up until almost 11 binging on Seven Seconds, I think I'm close to finishing it. guster Evie has been asking to paint her room pink too! I think this spring/summer will be time to start working on interior updates/paint for us, since we have done everything outside since we moved in. I want to have her give input on what shade of pink, but I think I'll have to narrow it down to choices for her, otherwise we will end up with a room with 4 odd shades of pink! nam2013 I'm glad everyone is finally starting to feel better at your house!

Oh, yes. I'm going to give her three choices all in the very same pink family. Last week she was telling me she wanted a sort of a calypso looking pink and a bright lemonade-y yellow. Her idea was to do it in the stripes on the ceiling, and like a crazy person I was actually considering it.

S/O room decor, I have no idea what to do with Evie's room once the baby moves in. She has the smallest room, and all her furniture/linens are different than the boys'. I have to somehow figure out how to use our existing crib and changing dresser (which will not match hers) and finangle the space as well. Part of me just wants to start over completely, but DH might die if I start adding furniture to the list of things we need for baby
