FRIYAY!!!

[snuff9861]

OMG the day is here!!! 
He's gone to schooooooooooooool!!!! He did so well. Got on the bus no problem. I drove to the school and made sure he was fine. He barely even looked back to say goodbye. 
DH took DD1 to daycare. So just us and the baby. I need to get a pedicure and a carwash today. Then I'll get DS off the bus, go pick up DD1 early from daycare and I have to take her to the church for my friend's rehearsal. DH is taking DS and DD2 out to my parents. 

[pootsen]

Sounds like a great day snuff9861! Yay for your DS, and you!!

[sarahandben108]

snuff9861, I always have such guilt sending N off places when I'm home. But then when he is home and being a total turd I'm like, see-ya kid! I love him, but DNW to hear him constantly say "you need to play with meeeeeee."

I'm not the player. Dad is the player.

[sarahandben108]

I'm glad it's Friday. This fall we don't have much planned on the weekends and it's so nice to know I have two days this weekend to just be home. Normally, our weekends are filled to the max.

I'm not afflicted with that guilt. Because we dont have to pay for daycare for DS now, we're starting DD1 two days a week. I'm home both days.

Now that we are at a new daycare and will be paying for days I normally wouldn't have to, I'm totally sending both kids.  Not every time but definitely a day or two. 

[blabbermouth]

Kids are just better around other people I think! Aren't weekends enough? Hehe.

Glad everything went well snuff9861, enjoy your day!

Have a nice weekend sarahandben108.

My eye isn't as goopy today, but very swollen. I have an appointment with the eye doctor this morning, so we'll see what she says.

Same. DH plays so much better than I do. He rough houses more which Ds1 loves. I’m always like, “let’s read a book or play a game!” And ds1 wants to play dinosaur wrestling lol.

[blabbermouth]

pootsen, legit lol at dinosaur wrestling.

[sarahandben108]

blabbermouth, I had a terrible case of pinkeye when I was just starting out teaching. It was bacterial so I was actually TOLD my the doctor I couldn't go to work for 2 days. It started to spread to my other eye too.
It was something else. I feel your pain. Hopefully it doesn't spread to the rest of the family.

Ugh.  N always wants to play Paw Patrol.  Then he tells me what I'm supposed to say.  It's the worst.  I'm so much better as the "caretaker" then the player.  Need a snack? Got it.  Got a booboo? I'm on it.

Yay snuff9861! Exciting!

I love this feeling. That is how our labor day weekend mostly was (well, other than me working Saturday and a little Monday). We had had such a busy month, we needed a reset!

[jules1614]

So glad it’s Friday!!! DS2 slept crappy and took a long time to get back down after wake ups too. Just take the nuk please!!

+1 to not being a great player, I do okay if there are “props” (like play kitchen/trains) but not straight up made-up play lol.

Cute story:

This morning DS2 started fussing and DS1 went in there so I was just watching on the monitor. DS2 stopped crying while DS1 was in there. Then I heard DS1 say, “I’ll be right back!” So he runs to my room and says “mom, come with me quick, there’s an emergency!! His leg is stuck and I can’t reach him!” 😍

[thatgolfb]

Also, hi, all. I'm on my coffee break. Work is relatively light today. I will be working tomorrow, too. Lots of Saturdays this month. I work another toward the end of the month. But then nothing till mid November.

The weather has been so nice and mild. I want it to stay like this!

[thatgolfb]

Playing with kids is the worst, because somehow I always do it "wrong." "No, mommy, not like that." Like I'm literally just holding a doll and talking, what do you want, kid?!

[thatgolfb]

Well I just got the best compliment. One of my lab partners from my CLS program that I havent seen in 3 years since we graduated was just hired at my lab. She ran into me and said "wow, you had another baby, right? You look younger and prettier than you did before!"

So that made my day. Vain AF.

Jealous.

This wedding is basically a high school reunion and I feel like an old lady. No one else has kids or is married.

Also it's 2:30pm and DD2 has had one 2 oz bottle since 3am. Give her a bottle and she treats it like poison (even if we put it in a sippy cup). Put a plate of food in front of her and she's content as a pig.

[grumpycat]

Ds2 slept like garbage in the hotel last night. I am exhausted. I'm hoping he does better tonight. He's just going down for his first nap of the day now too. But he's been good all day so who knows. He's been babbling a lot more and taking steps when we hold his hands while standing. So there's that. He seems to on ds1's developmental timeline again which means we have a month or less before he's walking and two months before he's running. Hold me.

I mean can you blame her? Lol. Give me all of the food!

Hi. Hooray for Friday! Family dinner is tonight at my mom's so I can drink beers in peace while other people entertain my children.

For those who read or play in the Fall Fashion thread, I feel like I walked right out of the HIH store today. I am wearing camo ON pixie pants with a tshirt and an opened ON chambray shirt. Thanks to that thread I look "fashionable" but am broke. Oh well, I suppose. The pants are super cute at least

T-minus 30 minutes before my weekend starts and I still need to pump so there goes the rest of my day. Hooray!

[blabbermouth]

thatgolfb, praise be DE.

[cakewench]

I don't think we have any plans for the weekend, but that makes me suspicious that I've forgotten something.

Of course we will probably spend most of our time watching N crawl, and making a list of things to move/babyproof/etc.

Lol, I was going to give that thread some credit for thatgolfb's new look too. Also, peloton. Apparently I know everything about you 😬

I'm following along in there, but somehow not spending. I really want to do a capsule wardrobe, and I go back to work in November so I'm just trying to hold off until next month to really get my shit together and have a plan instead of my usual buy 100 cheap tops and hate them all in a few months.

That was seriously my first thought. I was like, wow, well at least all the money I'm spending at Sephora is paying off. LOL.

Bahaha it's all true!

I promise to try to reply to people and actually engage in the board this weekend!

For now, I’m on glass #2 of wine (red) and watching the RBG biography. Happy Friday!

I wore my new ON chambray shirt to work yesterday too. I was feeling pretty fashionable too lol. I’ve spent so much from the thread. It’s terrible.
