Good morning! I really needed a full night’s sleep last night after our crazy weekend, but C and my insomnia had other plans. Oh well... I’m just glad that I had the foresight to take today and tomorrow off work. Just got ds1 on the bus and C and I are going to head out for a walk/run. Then it’s cleaning, groceries, laundry, etc. I might take the boys to an apple orchard this afternoon because I want to do something fun with them, but I’m slightly nervous about managing them both by myself.

I'm hoping all the babies and kids who have been sick are feeling better today.

Today I have E's 9 month appointment...again. This time there is no question that the appointment is today. So, another 1/2 day for me. Plus, E and N are getting flu shots. As you can imagine, N is super excited about that. LOL.

Still coughing, congested, and sneezing here. But ds2 is acting like himself otherwise (which is always my benchmark about sick my kid is -- at least with ds1).
I'm starting to work on the kids' Halloween costumes. I'm going to be checking out Walmart for white pants/shirts. Online lol because I'm not going anywhere today. I'm not bringing these germs to other people.
Ds2 is recently very into clapping. It's seriously the cutest thing ever. He claps when he is nursing 😂

That’s so cute grumpycat. B slept like crap again last night and was up for the day at 5. We tried to do some sleep training since I knew he didn’t have an ear infection and I had given him Motrin for his teeth but we failed and gave in after a while. Poor guy was all sweaty and just sighed himself to sleep on me. I really need to get this bedtime routine / drowsy but awake in the crib thing down. |

Morning!
I also have today and tomorrow off and I am so glad I did that. I’ll be making chicken pot pie and an apple pie later- it’s not that impressive because I don’t make my own crust lol. Eventually I’ll do some laundry and cleaning but for now I’m binge watching tv and I’ll be taking a nap later!
Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. We aren’t doing anything for it, my H works night shift and we have a soccer game. I’ll get him a card and I’ll hope he gets me flowers lol.

doxiemama sleep training is so hard. I know that it needs to be done sometimes but gah, it makes me so anxious. Luckily DH is pretty good at letting him CIO so I just go into another room lol. Anyway, I hope he starts sleeping better for you soon ❤️

Why go through the hassle when Betty Crocker does it so well??  Seriously though, I have made my own crust in the past due to my sister and nieces being vegetarians. But it's not easy and I'd rather use store bought when possible. |

Good morning! My kid free plans were foiled today. 😥 DCP called in sick. So I can't do my intro OTF class. Oh well, at least that was the only thing I had planned. DD1 has school from 11-2, and it is picture day, so at least I could do her hair. I'm hoping the baby takes her naps before and after.
I need to try and get a workout in, and do some laundry, but otherwise I actually don't have much I need to do. I had ordered our groceries and they were delivered last night. 🙌

grumpycat DD2 has been clapping, too, I love it! She claps after I do a diaper change, so I'm glad she approves of my method.

jules1614 Happy Anniversary! Mine is Thrusday and I anticipate the same (card and flowers) lol. grumpycat hope you're feeling better soon! pootsen I don't know how you did it with back to back weddings this weekend. Good morning, I finally booked my ticket for my cousins wedding in Vegas. I don't think MH is going to be able to make it womp womp. I'm doing a quick turn around though so we can spend a long weekend in the Berkshires the next weekend. I really need a break and don't think Vegas will provide me the relaxation I seek lol. I still need to book my Dry bar appt and reserve my dress, trying to keep it easy.

Oh my god. I could scream. All the doctors appointments have to be canceled today due to their system being down. I told my H to call to reschedule because if I called I wasn’t going to be nice.

We've been trying to get DD to nap for the past hour 😒 this cold seems to have thrown her off. I guess it's good she won't get any regular naps tomorrow, since she doesn't want to take them anyway!

BabyWaffle is growing 4 top teeth and she just had a proper tantrum being put to bed. Considering she woke up chatting at 4am, this Monday is way too Monday for me.

I just spent my lunch break switching around our car seats so now we have a rear facing convertible and a harness booster. No more infant bucket seat 😭

Well the doctors called me back and offered a November 6th date to reschedule. E turns 1 on December 6th and already has an appointment on December 11th. I told them not to bother.

Hi Ladies! We had a nice calm weekend. Yesterday I decided to tackle painting our fireplace mantle, which I've been wanting to do forever. At our old house I used chalk paint and wasn't really happy with the results, so I just did a light sand, cleaned, and painted with regular semi-gloss and it adhered really well and totally brightened up the room. It felt good to get that knocked off the to-do list!
I'm the only person in on my 4-person team at work today, so it's a quiet day but I also have to run some quarterly preliminary reports that I've never done before, so hopefully that goes off without a hitch.
