Dh's interview is in 30 minutes. I'm a bundle of nerves but I don't think I let on this morning lol. Ds1 got another bad report yesterday 🙄 it seems like it's happening over one particular toy at one particular time of day. It's easy for me as a parent and not a teacher in charge of 8 kids to say just don't let him use the toy if he cannot handle sharing it but 🤷. We had a rough bedtime with ds1 because we are trying to stick to what we've said instead of caving in to the tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. So I suspect it's going to be a rough couple days (if not longer -- he's stubborn and smart).

grumpycat hope his interview goes well! My DS1 is also smart and stubborn and we’ve had some rough bedtimes lately, so solidarity!

So glad it’s Friday!
We’re heading up to our cabin after work for what will be my and the boys probable last time for the season (H will go up more for hunting). H is planning to take DS1 out bow hunting while we are there- DS1 is loud and has a short attention span so I don’t anticipate it going well ha!
Ds2 had a rough night last night. I finally sent in H at 4am and I’m pretty sure he was just cold because H put him in his sleep sack and he slept soundly the rest of the night/whoops, I thought a fleece sleeper would be plenty! 😬

It's FRIDAY! Yessss! I saw A Star is Born last night and it was SO good! I have a newfound love of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was amazing as always. I hope Lady does more acting. And also, she looks great as a brunette. And I need to order that soundtrack! I'm thinking about heading to the pumpkin patch when I get off of work today to snap some pictures of the girls while it's not too crowded. Gianna LOVES pumpkins so she'll be excited to see so many. Preschool has a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, but not for a few more weeks, so I think we'll probably hit up a couple other patches before then. I love this time of year

I'm tired. L was up for over an hour MOTN and then up for the day at 5:30. It is supposed to be hot and humid today and then cool off starting tomorrow, but also be rainy so I'm hoping we get to play DS1's soccer game before the rain starts. He's already had 2 games cancelled for rain. Thomas the Train is in town and I'm trying to figure out if we will have time to go. DS1 and I went last year and enjoyed it so I was hoping to take him again this year, but we will just have to see what the weather does.
We haven't ever been to a pumpkin patch. That is terrible. I have tried to go previously and H would always say that DS1 was too young. We even have one right by our house. I need to try and remedy that but our weekends are looking pretty packed. Boo.

FX for your H, grumpycat! Back at work today and feeling much better. Bit of a headache, but a vast improvement from the other day! I keep forgetting to call the surgeon to schedule a follow-up for N... really need to do that today. Also have to call grocery delivery because they failed to show up for the second time this week, so at this point, just cancel and give me my money back, please. Also, in trying to listen to friends/family that I am wearing myself out with the pumping... I am definitely not ready to stop completely, but my gut is telling me it's OK to drop to 3 pumps a day. I felt the same when I dropped from 5 to 4, so I think it's the right call. I'm not getting much from my noon pump, and it will make life easier with what else we have going on in the next few weeks, both at home and at work.

I seriously just watched this today because we are getting our boss a moose turd clock for boss's day! She got a moose permit this year. ETA: To hunt moose in Maine you have to be picked from a lottery system.

As for me, we had a workshop day today. Leaving in about 30 minutes, getting the boys, and hopefully heading to the fair. E slept so much better last night. We did a nebulizer treatment before he went to bed. I think it made a huge difference. Technically the nebulizer is N's. He got it when he developed pneumonia when he was 2. We've always had a prescription for the albuterol just in case. I'm ready for a long weekend even though it's going to be busy.

She has some of the funniest stuff, like holy shit (moose poop with a halo), or dingle bells (poop with little ornaments), and turd on a half shell (poop on a clamshell). I supposed it isn't very everyone. I enjoy how funny it is from afar but wouldn't want something personally.

Hi all, TGIF over here. MH got back from his business trip today and he's getting H from daycare. I have an appt with the counselor after work, I've been very ragey/angry lately so I'm hoping she can help me get to the bottom of it. Plans with friends tomorrow night to look forward to.

That was so funny grumpycat thanks for sharing! Totally brightened up my day. I am exhausted. Cal was up a lot last night and early this morning. Work is annoying me and my back is sore. DH is going up north so it’s just the boys and I this weekend.

So dh said the interview went well! He spoke with a friend who works there and she said that it's actually really hard to get an interview so that's pointing in a positive direction! He will hear by Tuesday. Still trying to be cautiously optimistic lol.

Nothing much to report over here. DD is cranky from teething, but her nap seems to be going well right now. I've probably jinxed myself just typing that!
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving this weekend (Canadian) as well as soont visits with friends.
I'm tired too because DD was up two or three times last night, I can't remember 🤣

Hello, all! I feel like I haven't really checked in. I am finishing up at work. 51 minutes left, but who's counting?
Cannot wait for my sweatpants and a glass of wine tonight.

It’s snowing. Yay. Off to Thanksgiving supper at church. That’s all we have for the weekend. My parents are visiting my sister in Alberta. My in-laws are having it next weekend. So quiet weekend here.

Great news, grumpycat! Keeping FX for him 😊 So N started talking to himself around 430ish. And he wasn’t crying so I figured I’d let him go and see what happened. He would fall back asleep for a bit, talk to himself some more, repeat. Finally he started getting hungry-fussy so I got up to feed him. Y’all, the poop... 😳 I am honestly shocked there was only minor leakage. Mental note for next time - even if he isn’t crying, maybe check the diaper 😂 Also, my MIL called me six times yesterday. I understand she wants to know how everyone is feeling but if you call and leave messages 2-3 times, I’m either at work or asleep, so maybe lay off? (I am very firm about not answering at work. She rambles and I don’t have time for it, never mind the fact voices carry in our hall and it’s rude.)
