H is doing some recruiting at the lake today so we decided to join him for lunch. Having a nice, patio lake-side lunch!
I'm trying to convince H we need a cookie skillet for dessert.

Mmmm cookie skillet sounds amazing. Maybe we’ll go to BJs this weekend for a pizookie.
I had the longest meeting. And then I spent a crazy amount on a lobster roll and I don’t even care. It was delicious.

I don’t have anything food related to brag about. It’s ridiculously hot here again but I’m actually used to it now. Today there was a breeze and some clouds which made all the difference at the playground. DD2 was up 3 times and DD1 was up so early. My brain is not functioning even with coffee.

It felt like eleventh billion degrees in the classroom today because my air wasn’t working. I kept the lights off this afternoon and did a lot of read aloud so we wouldn’t melt. It’s just my room so if it still isn’t working tomorrow we’re going somewhere else in the building till it’s fixed.
I need to finish up laundry and start packing for a quick Labor Day trip to my parents with everyone. So much house to clean and so little time...

My almost 4 year old was an absolute hellion during our play date this morning, I was not happy. And then DS also took a short nap (during said play date) and was a major grump. Soooo...not a great morning all around. Fingers crossed they are both in better moods this afternoon 😬

I have 10000% dropped the ball on a few things I wanted to do before I go back to work. All self care things for myself 🙄 So now Friday I am squishing in a pedicure and a haircut, sounds like a pretty sweet afternoon 👍

The baby wouldn’t nap and is a teething grumpy mess when she isn’t being cute. She’s in bed and I’m hoping for less wake ups tonight.

I work 3 days/week, I’m a preschool SLP so going back at the beginning of the school year just made sense. DH is taking the last 5 weeks of our parental leave. I’m excited for him to get a view of what being home all day is really like 🤣

I wish DH would stay home for a bit to see how challenging it can be but it’s not feasible for us.

I wish DH would stay home for a bit to see how challenging it can be but it’s not feasible for us. Thanks! I’m not too worried about the transition actually since the kids are just home with DH! And then once his leave is done they go to my parents and ILs. I have been working on shifting DS’s nursing times this week and so far it’s going pretty well. I am currently nursing at bedtime, 4ish am, 7 am, then he gets breakfast, small sippy of pumped milk (he only drank like 1/1.5 oz), nap, lunch, small sippy of pumped milk, nap. And then today he made it until 3:45 before nursing. He needs to make it until 4:30 but I think if I’m not there he’d be ok. I might try formula in the sippy instead of pumped milk because honestly I would rather not struggle to pump (I don’t respond well and I don’t really want to add that into my day) and have it wasted if he doesn’t drink it. And he’d still be nursing 4x a day anyways 🤷♀️ Kid loves food of all kinds so I feel like he’d take the formula but who knows

doodlemommy, I need to figure out how to shift and reduce DS' nursing schedule. We nurse 5x a day and he gets a bottle from hubs before bed so I think somewhere I should be able to at least drop 1 nursing session? I was pumping 3x at work and it really ate into my work time plus I also don't respond well with the pump. Good luck with starting work.

Its late and I just folded another load of laundry. I am still around just busy getting the house back in order and I am in duplo sorting hell after the kiddos dumped all the duplo sets together. At least all the bedding is laundered and half the house is vacuumed. I should go to bed!

doodlemommy Sounds like you’ve set things up for success. I need to start doing that except I have no idea what my schedule will be so I think I’m just going to cut out nursing to sleep and go from there.

Oh man, not knowing a schedule would make things way harder! I know exactly when I need to leave and exactly when I’ll be home so i just plan to nurse right before and after, it worked well with DD and DS seems to be adjusting too. He loves food and eats well so that helps, I don’t have to worry that he won’t eat enough while I’m gone

I was pumping 3x at work and it really ate into my work time plus I also don't respond well with the pump. Good luck with starting work. DS naturally moved himself to 4 nursing sessions a month or so ago already. So I’m just shifting the times not the number which is easier i think. Before this week of shifting we were nursing at bedtime, 4am-ish, 9 am and 2 pm. And then 3 meals. I added the sippy cups in this week because he isn’t eating as much at 7 as he was at 9 and to go from 7-4:30 without milk seems too long. He really likes the sippy with milk in it surprisingly, just doesn’t drink a ton which is why I’m trying 2 smaller ones. Really I’m just winging it haha!
