Hi! I plan on getting a pedicure this morning and then waiting for the exterminator to come. My parents are taking DS1 for the afternoon and overnight. It’s a rainy humid day and no plans really.
I slept 8:30-6:30 last night and it was glorious. Even tho I auto wake at 5 now, I forced myself to go back to sleep.

My 6:30 wake up was courtesy of my toddler pooping in her overnight diaper. We are off to a small zoo with mostly farm animals but first coffee.

H and I are OOT for a wedding. DS1 and 2 are with my parents and doing ok. DS1 is fine, he's 6 and has stayed there a bunch. No worries with him. DS2 was up 3 times last night 😳 so I feel a little bad for my parents.
I'm annoyed at myself because I lugged my giant spectra pump here and went to use it yesterday after we checked into our hotel - NO POWER CORD. I have no clue where it is at home either because it should have been uhhh... right with the pump. And it wasn't. And I'm mad at myself for not checking. Luckily there's a target around the corner here so I ran out and grabbed a cheapo manual pump but ...UGH. C'MON!!

Currently hanging out at my grandma’s. My dad is taking DD2 for a walk in the stroller so she can nap and he gets “grandpa time”. My mom and grandma are off taking DD1 to feed the neighbor’s horses. We asked about a year ago if DD1 could pet and feed them and now she spoils them rotten when we are up here —Doc, Jim,and Buster. They are carriage horses for the tourists here so they’re really tame anyway and DD1 is in love with them.

thechickencoop any 12v power cord would've worked. I know this because I contacted Spectra this week. 2 days later a brand new S2 is on my doorstep. Mine would sometimes not turn on. I'd have to press the button over and over. It would always eventually turn on but it was getting more frequent. Anyway, they sent me a new pump and power cord. 👍 Great customer service!

We won the game last night and are now 2-0. It was a loooong game though! It didn't end until 9:40. 😳
The boys did great, considering. I couldn't do it without my ILs though. MIL rides home with us and puts DS1 to bed while I feed LO. Not to mention their help during the game. But seeing DH with the boys on the field after the game, especially a win, is priceless. ❤

I don't know what cord I would use though in our hotel. Or I guess I could buy one? We're only here til tomorrow afternoon though so I'm 🤷♀️ about it now. That's awesome that they sent you replacements though!

That's awesome that they sent you replacements though! Yeah I was thinking you could've bought a cord, had you known. They asked if I had another 12v cord and the only one in sight was my 65v laptop cord. That was obviously not the right kind and they were like "it's ok! We'll send you a new pump." They included a prepaid label to send them my old one. I had to send them my original receipt and a video of the pump malfunctioning, but that wasn't hard. I was impressed with their service, for sure.

I came to this new place on recommendation of MIL and also it’s basically across the street. It looks old and I think some pedi chairs/cabinets/other furniture inside is broken. I’m torn if I come again or not. I guess it’s clean? Just old? I don’t know. I got here when it opened and people are pouring in for pedicures so I guess it’s ok?

I was so tired I didn't realize the Friday thread wasn't the weekend thread.
Bad sleep. Much tired.

I ran to bath & body with MiL for some candles and soap and then picked up my grocery order and got a snow cone. Now my stomach hurts and I want a nap. I have to take DS1 pajamas later.

DD2 is unlatching by dragging her teeth across as she pulls off. A new tooth on top just poked through so I’m sure her gums hurt but holy guacamole - ouch!!!!

Well good and bad weekend... We found out today my little sister is expecting her first baby!!! They are due end of April and I am so excited for them! TW for infant loss (not mine) - feel free to mod abuse if you know how to spoiler But also my sister and BILs BFFs lost their baby girl this week at 34 weeks. Completely unexplained. They are obviously devastated and my heart just breaks for them

Happy to report that DS1’s Friday night crap in his pants was just a one-time fluke. Must have been something he ate - thank goodness! Play dates went really well this weekend. We have been hanging with our new neighbors across the hall, and they are awesome. DH and the guy neighbor are going rock climbing now while the wife and I have the kids play together. Fantastic Sunday afternoon for everyone!
Looking forward to my breakfast date with H tomorrow while DS1 is at school.

H, the baby, and I are going to brunch in a few. I invited the in-laws but they are picky and this isn’t a plain pancakes n eggs place. Then we want to go to the Spirit Halloween store and look at all the monsters.

doodlemommy I'm so sorry, that must be difficult for you sister as well to have to share their news with them. Their friends will be in my thoughts, so incredibly sad.

I had a really nice day. Hit up Sephora and took my mom to see Crazy Rich Asians. DD2 is working on her two bottom teeth and is super grumpy and not napping.

I was lurking the GD thread and jumped on the Olaplex bandwagon. I also ordered the Dr Jarts you recommended, the Amika Bust your Brass shampoo. Today I got more Benefit Gimmie Brow, Dr Jart Pore Minimalist Mask, small size of the Smashbox primer and Invisibobble hair bands.

Very much a novice - don’t wax, pluck, fill in, color, etc. I’m interested in Gimme Brow to define mine a bit, but I’m worried I’d screw it up.

Taitai, so glad to hear DS' diarrhea was a fluke. It really is bad for the tots and clean up for us.
