nam2013 have you checked Boden, Hanna Anderson, Gap/Old Navy? I feel like that ochre color is something I’ve seen at those places recently. Not sure if any ship to you, though. I freaking love the stuff they have at Boden. But I'll just have to casually mention that to my MIL...  Search “fiream” on amazon. The stuff looks exactly the same but way cheaper. |

You’re looking at things that are expensive. Check out tutu du monde. Josie literally wants every dress! It’s this m really cool mix of costume and dress. I thought you were giving me this suggestion because it was a cheaper option. I was incorrect. ETA M would love all of that though. Think of the tea parties they could have! ETA: it’s because my post was supposed to say “since you’re already looking at expensive stuff...” |

Happy Friday!
I drove to work on two wheels this morning because late. And we have been quite busy and I'm not up to doing all this work. I just want to browse the internet and stay away from people. Our radiologist is buying us steak and potatoes for lunch though, so there will be a bright spot in my blah day.
Hope everyone else is enjoying the day!

Hiiii! I slept in and skipped my run this morning and it seemed like everyone in the house was dragging as well. DH has been less than helpful in the mornings lately so I was in a mood when I left the house, but I've rebounded partially because it's frazzled Friday at work and everyone wants my time. I can't waste energy being annoyed! I also got to register for the Boston Marathon today so now I'm just waiting to see if my time was good enough to get me in. And I found a slightly less expensive Santa train closer to our town, so I'm going to get us tickets and hope we actually make it this year.
Both boys have their first soccer practices/games tomorrow and I'm excited. Unfortunately this week both have to be at their respective fields (on opposite sides of town) at the same time, so I'll miss Colin's first game. Most weeks I'll get to watch the first 40-45 minutes, so I can't complain too much.
Did I check in after back-to-school night? It was pretty quick and parent/teacher conferences are a couple months away, but I at least got to see his classroom and hear more about his schedule from his teacher. I also got to sneak a peak at pictures of his friends because that's been one of the toughest parts of this transition for me. He told me he has a new best friend (!!) so I at least know what the kid looks like.
Also Chase came home with a bruise and small cut on his face. He was fighting over a toy and his friend smacked him with it. According to him, it was his friend A, who happens to share the same name as Colin's A, who I loved because the girl took no shit. This A always looks so prim and proper, I didn't think she had it in her! Clearly he's found his sole mate for the next few years.

Have not read yet, running around with the kids. I told my SIL about Evie (she has a SPD kid). We are going to chat, but she immediately ordered Ev weighted blanket because she's the best. I told her I got Eve wiggle seat and she liked it so much she asked to sleep with it last night ( cagoldi...highly recommend). I think the blanket will be more appropriate to bring to bed. In other news, I dropped off an old, busted Vuitton bag to the motorcycle leather-working guy to see if he could bring it back to life and add a strap to make it crossbody. It's mainly sentimental in value, so I don't need it to look authentic or anything. He said it would be done in a few days...that was 3 weeks ago! I should have never said "No rush" 😳 |

I have only bought one thing from Primary.com I got Letty a swim diaper and I love it because it’s not bulky and she can wear it under her cute suits!
Aaand I’ve had to stop a bunch of times and look at all these clothing sites being mentioned.

Amazon has these over the top print dresses. Anything you want, unicorns, dinosaurs, cats, donuts, rainbows, etc. They are right up Cass' alley. I might treat her with one more with school starting but right now I feel like I'm swimming in kids clothes and won't buy anything until I clean out their dressers.

So Cass has been trying to make her new chore picking out my clothes every day. (She already picked out MH's underwear. ) She really wants me to wear this red flowy 50s style dress I have but I have no reason to ever wear it normally. So we decided that Saturday night we're all going to dress fancy and go out to dinner. We'll be a histrionic family. 💃

I am the only one in my household who likes oatmeal raisin cookies, so I never make them, but I love them at this time of year, too. Publix down home makes really good ones..soft and chewy. Hmm. I may need to drive to the Outer Banks to get some, assuming the store there is still standing. |

These are from stop and shop and they are incredible. |

Remember a few months ago when I had a hard time with Safelite, getting my windshield replaced. Wrong windshield originally delivered, broken trim piece, missed appointments, etc? Yeah, so that would explain why I'm fucking pissed that I have A NEW CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I just scheduled an appointment for this afternoon. Fingers crossed they can just repair it because I can't deal with this shit again. If it needs replaced, I'm trading it in.

I have 2 huge cracks in my windshield since driving to my niece's wedding. The windshield will have to be replaced and my deductible is $500 so that's not happening anytime soon... |

DH is apparently in panic mode... I sent him to work this morning because nothing was really happening. He has been texting all day checking in and he’s asked me twice to call the doctors or hospital and see what they say.

Thanks for showing me the bright side...IF it has to be replaced, my deductible is $100. But I'm pretty sure, when I signed the lease, that I paid for the glass coverage, so when I turn it in, if there are chips in the windshield, I won't have to pay for them. And we've been talking about trading mine in early anyway. |

Every few will be 4-5 minutes but majority are around 7.5minutes. Just recently I’ve started to have more pressure in my butt and some lower back pain and some contractions are getting really uncomfortable but I’m still functioning. His concern is that I have a high pain tolerance. |
