I’m exhausted. I tried to go to bed around 10:00 last night, but H woke me up an hour later when the Red Sox tied the game. Then, the game went on for almost another 4 hours!! I went to bed at 2am in the 14th inning. Luckily, E didn’t start to whine for a bottle until about 7:25 this morning, so I at least got some sleep.
Not sure of what we’ll do today. It’s pouring and it’s supposed to be really windy later too, so my long run is on hold until tomorrow. I’m considering going to the gym to renew my membership, but I’m also so freakin tired that I may not leave my house. lol

Ugh, that game bethkate. I can’t believe you stayed up til 2. I fell asleep in front of the TV, went upstairs and put it on at 11, fell asleep again, and woke up with B at 230 and thought they had highlights on. NOPE still going! Unbelievable. We were supposed to do family pictures today but had to reschedule because of the weather. So we have a whole day with no plans. Very unusual!

I was up with N a bunch last night. He’s definitely got a cold. bethkate when I was up with him at three and it was the 16th inning I was like WTF?! I’m not even mad the Sox lost, just as long as that damn game ended. H has to work all day today and it’s also raining, so I think N and I will be chilling at home with some extra snuggles and Hallmark on all day (Countdown to Christmas LOL - I don’t care that it’s early, after this week I need it).

cakewench, as disappointed as I am that they lost, the Sox put forth one hell of an effort. Ian Kinsler is the only one I’m mad at for his multiple mistakes in the game. Ha!

Ds2 was up partying from 130-330. Ds1 slept well thankfully but he's a ball of energy. He's been chasing the cats around the house. I'm so tired. I'm getting ds2 down for a nap now. I want one too. 😴

Hello. One of my coworkers randomly offered to pick up my shift today so that was awesome. The boys and I went grocery shopping and I got carded for a bottle of wine. The cashier didn’t believe that my ID was mine. My pic is from right after we got married when I changed my last name, so I was wedding-skinny, blonde, and didn’t wear glasses back then. So I had to convince her that yes, that was me - I’ve just aged 6 years, gained weight, let my highlights grow out, and went blind. Super fucking embarrassing and now i feel very self conscious.

It's super crummy here, supposed to rain all weekend. Our neighborhood just cancelled our Halloween activities for today and the zoo boo is moved inside so it'll be crowded. Booooo. quinn, H is miserable at work, enough so that he's deep in the interview process at a university in your area. If he gets it we'll be moving out there so we may very well be neighbors soon.

Howdy. Sorry I’ve been MIA again. Have had a shitty week. Just overwhelmed with life and feeling down. N cut a new tooth. He’s terrible at sleeping again. And is walking about 80% of the time so that’s fun. Other than that- life is the same old same old around here.

Went to the target trick or treat event (thanks thatgolfb)! DS1 liked it. Later today we do trick or treat in a friend’s neighborhood. Most houses offer adult beverages too so that’s fun! My H has to work tonight so he won’t be joining us. Tomorrow we will trick or treat in our neighborhood for a little bit. Ds2 just went down for a nap and DS1 will follow shortly. I’m going to whip up a dessert and then hopefully nap too!!

jules1614 we (my mom, DD1, and I) just got back from the Target event, too! So that knocked out two birds with 1 stone- kid activity plus shopping. I started my day with a 7 am workout, which I wasn't looking forward to but I am glad I went. Then my mom watched the kids while H and I took a walk to the coffee shop, so that was nice. We have a wedding reception at a brewery this afternoon which will be short and sweet, then I am coming back home to my mom and the girls, and H is watching the world series with a friend. Should be a nice day! Looking forward to beer, lol.

Dh overdid it yesterday so he's back on the couch with an ice pack. I bugged him all day yesterday to stop doing stuff so he'd be able to help a bit with the boys today. It has been an unpleasant afternoon and I'm praying for an early bedtime. Ds2 looks like he will go down a bit early. Ds1 is tbd.
On another note, I found out that the same kid who isn't nice to ds1 is also not nice to another kid in the class. So the kid just isn't nice.
I got my Carter's/oshgosh order so now ds1 has more than three long sleeve shirts and two sweatshirts lol. Yay! Now I just need to get them all washed.

grumpycat, it's definitely the other kid 😩 just give your ds some extra support I guess 😊 Yay for long sleeves. Tis the season. Sorry you're having a tough time cdnfarmgirl, do you see a counselor at all? Sorry for all the rain running the Halloween festivities! Except for Target hehe. No rain here, but it looks like it might show up soon. It's chilly, but the sun was out this morning. Got in a hotme with a friend which was nice. Came home and we went for poutine for lunch (scrambled egg and smoked meat for Jojo) and a quick play at the park. But brr, needed more than a hoody. Home now for nap time. Dh and I have a long overdue date night tonight and I'm excited. A kind of fancy dinner followed by a hockey game, going to have to bridge the gap on my outfit I guess!

Hi all! We came home last night since the weather was supposed to get nasty this morning. H was super happy to see me when I picked him up but has refused to nap this afternoon. He's eating dinner now and it will probably be an early bedtime.
I sent out H's bday invited and people have started asking what they could get him. Any suggestions for what to ask for? I don't feel like he needs anything. We have a ton of books already.

I don't feel like he needs anything. We have a ton of books already. Clothes in the next size up, diapers, $$ for college fund. I also have an Amazon book wish list that I send to people when they ask. I love books. A friend asked for $$ toward a playset for their backyard one year. I thought that was a cute idea. Eta bath toys, stacking blocks are good too.

My extended family had our Thanksgiving dinner today since my grandparents leave for FL soon. It was great to see everyone but it's an hour away, we just got home, H got pulled over on the way home, and I'm exhausted
Ds1 is watching the babies and H and I are going to go see H's friend's band play. I dont want to go at all but they came to his show so we have to return the favor. I just chugged a coffee

We had a friends football party today and it was fun. My team lost though.
But when we got home, guess whose eye was gunked up again?! So we started the drops again with DD.
Thursday we finally had celebrated our anniversary with a concert night out. ILs trip overseas soon is stalled because mil has an injury and DH mentioned maybe he could take her spot. FF 2 days and that might actually happen. Hold me! I’ve never been away from him for 10 days and certainly not solo parenting!! I can do tho, right?!

He would commute while I finished my school year here then we'd move in the summer. I will for sure keep you posted.

I told dh that even though he has to sit on the couch all the day that he could still interact and help me with the kids. I didn't think that really needed to be said ... Like, I've given birth twice (once with no pain meds) and had stitches twice and recovered while breastfeeding with a contracting uterus. He's not complaining about pain but he's just annoying me. I just want to poop in peace. And shower during ds2's nap. 🤞

N was up a bunch again, including 2-hour stretch where he was just wide awake no matter what I tried. H was useless because mancold.
So yeah I’m totally going to do an escape room with my friends this afternoon. And then I’ll take N to Michaels since Halloween decorations are 70% off today.

It’s a dreary day. It’s supposed to clear up for trick or treating later though. Ds2 had two wake ups but then slept in till 830, unfortunately DS1 didn’t get that memo so we were up at 630. Ds2 is down for a nap now so I’m going to lay on the couch and hope to fall asleep. My H worked last night but he’s off tonight so he should be waking up soon and then hopefully I can check out for a bit

Good morning! Just finishing up a quick 4 hour shift at work. We are getting Chinese for lunch and then carving pumpkins. Then I want to be productive with meal prep, laundry, and baking for the week. Packer game this afternoon, hoping we don’t embarrass ourselves again 🤞.

I love a 4 hour shift pootsen! quinn 😂 We have my niece's bday party this afternoon at a play place so that'll be fun for Jojo. When she's up from her nap we're going grocery shopping. I've actually meal planned for this week 😮 We're having friends over Tuesday with their one month old, I'm making chicken cashew sheet pan dinner so it's really hands off, so I can hands on the baby lol. This is my last free-ish week before going back to work full time so I'm trying to get my shit together. DD's party is next Sunday.

quinn - 🤣🤣🤣 Escape room was great, we took down their hardest room in 31 minutes (out of 60). If you’ve never done one, you totally should. They’re super addictive (my friends and I are obsessed lol). N is asleep on H while he watches football, so I may do some grocery shopping before Michaels. I really would rather nap, though.
