What's up for today?
B is 5 months today. How did that happen? He's getting so big. On the sleep front, he still rolled over and got stuck on his tummy last night, but he went from 7-3, so that was good. From 3 on was not great, but I have hope we'll get there with the tummy sleeping. He's also been getting better report cards at daycare lately. He was a fuss-pot for them for a while because he's such a light sleeper. I'm crossing my fingers he's finally finding his daycare nap groove.

ellabee, that's good news that the sleep is getting better on all fronts! Im up watching the James Comey testimony like a huge nerd. My husband is home for a 4 day weekend so I'm trying to take it easy. I'm taking care of my parents elderly dog tonight so I will be changing toddlers diapers, infant diapers and apparently old dog diapers.

I'm listening in to the testimony while working neekoneeko. It's all just seems so shady.

We're having an energy audit today at our house so we can get some of our insulation coats covered by the state program. We're also installing new windows starting tomorrow and replacing our siding. Anyone paint their house recently and love their exterior paint color? We're waffling. We have a colonial with shutters similar to the pic below. We are toying with going for it with yellow but are nervous since it's easy to get the wrong shade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi we are up watching frozen, r is down for a nap and dd just finished breakfast, I swear it took her over an hour. No plans today but to continue getting the house back in order after the ILs visit. I swear they brought so much junk I have to find home for or just slowly throw away and hope mh doesn't notice.

ellabee I have a brick colonial so no real help but I've seen some painted and am tempted but the upkeep of painting with brick is no thank you. If your house is similiar to the pic, beautiful and classic with black and white. I'm a sucker for yellow though. What about keeping it white and a fun colored door if you're nervous about painting the whole house? We put new windows in about 2.5 years ago. I've noticed a big difference with drafts and heating.

ellabee are your shutters black? I think grey with white accents and black shutters is so pretty!

But they have to be replaced, so we can pick any color/style. I think we're definitely leaning towards black! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Comey testimony is on in the break room but they have it on Fox News ::rolls eyes:: There's a constant unspoken struggle between the Fox News constituency on the floor and the majority but I guess we've all decided it doesn't matter today since there's no commentary happening now. ellabee I love love love blue houses. Whenever we need to repaint, our house will be a similar blue to what meeggaannw posted. But we have a craftsman with no shutters so that's not much help for your house.

My toddler was making it impossible to listen to the testimony, reading the closed captioning but feel like it's not really new information. Trump will just say that didn't happen so I'm unsure where this whole thing is going. ellabee, we recently built our house and went with two tones of grey with an off white trim, looks wonderful! I think grey is a pretty safe color and looks good with most home styles.

Ug. Dd is so gassy and burpy and spitty uppy the last two days. It's making me nervous because of her slow weight gain and that over the top doctor's zero spit up comment.

Lakes I'm still puzzled by your pedi zero spit up suggestion. How is that even possible? I'd also love the secret.

When do you go back for the weight check Lakes? Hopefully seeing a more reasonable doctor and getting some better advice will help your stress!

Last night MIL helped me finish up the lollipops for the baptism. I tied them with ribbon, but the ribbon had glitter on it. So glitter everyone. Glitter is the herpes of the craft world.
Today MIL could watch E so I had to watch her while working. She was good until about 3 when she got real fussy. So glad tomorrow is Friday. It's been an exhausting week for some unknown reason.

Oh man. Thursday MH and I both work late so I do solo late bedtime. DD1 had a meltdown because we couldn't find her "doggy/binkie". Finally found them on her train table after a 20 min search. DD2 is in her crib chatting away. I hope she falls asleep on her own.

My pedicure was awful. They used the cheese-grater callous remover thingy on me. But I didn't have enough skin. So now i just have a ton of abrasions on my feet. Wtf
Hooray for glitter lollipops, baby laughs and wine.
Boo for solo parenting (God bless you all), and for crappy work days (I feel ya).
We've almost made it to Friyay!
