Morning!
Traffic was horrendous, so many accidents. Just because it didn't snow this morning doesn't mean the roads aren't slick people!
Anyways, I bought a small box of chocolates for ds1 for Valentine's and nothing for ds2 so I feel a little guilty and will probably run out to the store tonight and find something lol. I got H some socks- very romantic!

Another snow day here. N has needed some one-on-one time lately so I kept him home with me from daycare and sent E. Feels odd to not have the little dude here.

I got H some socks- very romantic! I was debating on whether to get anything for the kids and then DS1 came into the bedroom this morning talking about Valentines day being tomorrow and that you get candy on Valentines and then how he was going to get me something but that it was a surprise so now I feel like I should get them at least some candy or something.

Hi. I’m still alive. We are NTNP so...but we did IVF for low/no sperm so not expecting anything.
RE Valentine’s Day - I got B some soft sports balls and construction paper with crayons. My mom got him a bunch of books.
I’ve been cross training at work and couldn’t check anything without my shadow. I have 3 days of freedom until he’s back so I want to do zero work.

Um I didn't get my kids anything for Valentine's day lmao. I got dh a card and a magnet for the dishwasher that says clean on one side, dirty on the other, so super romantic over here. 😂
We do have a day date planned in a couple weeks when my in laws are here visiting. He needs new work clothes and I want to get a new pair of jeans. So we will go out for lunch and shop at the mall.
Got my period so that's fun. I got ds1 a ton of duplos for free yesterday and he's been playing constantly. I've found his currency!! #momwin

I went out and bought DS1 and DD one of those flippable sequin beanie boos and a giant kinder surprise. I never buy them anything but they’ve been really wanting one and this was an easy way to justify it.
DH will get nothing. Lol

H is pissing me off. I ask him to make sure his snow stuff fits for this weekend and he responds with “I will if I have time.” Like... k? Not like I have planned 95% of this trip and made sure my own stuff and the kids’ stuff is ready. God forbid I ask you to do one thing to help make sure we are ready.
If he doesn’t have stuff that fits, I’m skiing without him. 🤷♀️

I always get the boys something for Vday. Just little stuffed animals and a candy. The older boys have kept every stuffed animal from each year. I plan on doing it until the day I die, idc how old they are lol
I got ds3 a book and a cozy heart blanket. And AJ is getting a huge stuffed elephant that he's been begging for everytime we go to wegmans
H isn't feeling well today and we all know how that goes 🙄 I can never tell if he's actually sick or making a big deal out of nothing. He's taking a nap right now at the same time as the babies. Hopefully he'll sleep it off

The girls both slept like crap for the 2nd night in a row. So they are hot messes today. DS is a pill. I have coffee. Carry on.

snuff9861, two bad nights of sleep over here too! She went from sleeping through to being up three times crying, wtf? Teething I think maybe or possibly just becoming a toddler. She had her first tantrum last night and it was hiiiiiilarious! She was playing with these mini baby soap bottles and the ikea cart that holds her diapers etc and dropping them between the bottom tray and the bars and she couldn't reach in and get one out and she was all flail-y, hahaha. But she can say 'help' now, that hopefully that'll make things go more smoothly. But she uses it to her advantage when she wants something she shouldn't have she says HELP and then I'm stuck! Speaking of ikea, I'm reeeeeally hoping I can still make my girls' trip this weekend. Although DH is home with DD today since daycare it still closed, ugh. And she was already whiny this morning, so he might not agree to two days straight with her, especially with his dad still in the hospital. I have arranged babysitters for both afternoons though so he can be with his dad for a few hours each afternoon. BUT, anyone have anything awesome from Ikea that I should get??? I'm going to get the smaller play kitchen because right now DD's dishes and snacks are in a basket on the floor of our kitchen, so I thought putting them in the ikea kitchen instead would be super cute

thatgolfb, oh boy, that would annoy me too!! And if it was my DH, he would realize at the last minute that things weren't as good as he wanted them to be (even though they'd be perfectly fine for one short weekend away in my opinion) and he'd get all huffy about it not being nice enough and needing to get more, and then he'd be in the mountain ski shop buying himself $300 worth of new gear... for example, hahaha!

Any other kids throwing food? N all of a sudden throws everything off his tray. Throws his whole Bowl or just pieces. But if I’m not watching, it’s all going to the floor. This only started after we came one from holidays where my MIL spoon fed him every meal.
It’s not like I just not feed him- but I don’t know what to do. Tips?
And we don’t have a dog. So it really sucks cleaning it up all the time 😂😂

He had two work dinners already this week and I did everything from day care pickup through bedtime without complaint. I’m doing literally everything to make this trip happen. He has gone no planning. He can’t take literally 5 minutes to try on his clothes? And yes blabbermouth I totally foresee him waiting and then having to buy something up there. Which, fine, but do it at a time convenient for everyone and not when we are ready to ski. Anyway, sorry for the rant. We have already gotten into an argument and I’m just so tired of this crap.

It started as he was trying to give us his plate when he was done and if I wasn’t fast enough or didn’t notice he would drop it. Now it’s just constant. I try to get him to help me clean it up and he does, but doesn’t seem to make a difference. He picked up His noodles one by one today and threw them In the garbage. 😂

He will sign "all done" and if you don't get him right away he will just start sweeping away at his tray, it's annoying and so messy!!

C is extra screechy and crabby today. I wonder if he’s got more teeth coming in. Ds1 and I are at the dentist and we’re going to stop at the store on the way home to get a couple of treats for V-day. I already got the boys these mini plushes from aldi for 99 cents each- a sloth and an owl- they’re super cute.

blabbermouth I've never technically been inside an IKEA store but I bought the play kitchen online and it's the best thing ever. It's held up so well. Looks brand new still after a year

My cat really enjoys chicken nuggets. Almost as much as ds2 enjoys throwing food.

grumpycat Vinny has really expanded his palate. He used to only be interested in the meat and cheese Calvin would drop for him, but the other day he was crunching on a thrown cracker. This morning he was nosing a blueberry.

pootsen the orange cat prefers meat and cheeses. The grey cat prefers crackers, goldfish crackers, and Cheerios. No takers on fruit or veggies yet ha ha. Let me know if Vinny decides to take on the blueberry 😂

My dog just spends his day licking mess off floors and couches and trays. I'm surprised he hasn't gained like 20lbs.
