DH is out getting a haircut. My dad is coming over today to watch the kids so DH and I can run out and do some errands and have a day date. We are gonna check out a new BBQ place near us and bring some home for dinner. Then tomorrow we are having a big surf and turf feast- crab legs, scallops, salmon, lobster tails, steaks, the works. It’s a long weekend and DH has off Monday. I’m hoping to get the mudroom painted also.
Did I mention my diet starts back up Tuesday?

We started the miralax cleanout at 7. An hour later and she’s still working on her 1st 6 oz cup. I’m laughing that any kid could do this every 15 min.
It’s going to be a long day.

I don’t work today so I’m checking things off my list that I haven’t had time to get done lately. It’s dreary out and M is in a Little Mermaid trance. Perfection.

What is up with golden goose sneakers? Seriously, what am I missing? My favorite IG fashion girl is now talking about the best dupes for great prices and I still can’t get it up for them. They just look like dirty sneakers. Reminds of what my single pair of sneakers for the school year would like like halfway through.

Style wise they look like roughed up pumas or adidas. I’d just go by adidas personally. My current pair look roughed up! Lol
Gymnastics this morning for L. I took Zumba today while DH did the class! It was nice, only 1 more Saturday before DH goes back to work. L been super clingy. He wants to sleep with us, wants us to nap with him... part of me loves it and part of me is like this needs to go away before DH goes back to work!?! Lol

I’m drinking a margarita while waiting for the other 2 girls to show up to plan the baby shower.
5 hours in to the Cleanout 2019 and she’s only drank 3 6oz cups. 🙄
My sister doesn’t think it will work since she’s not drinking it fast enough.
Who the fuck thought a 5 year old would drink that much?

I seriously can’t imagine any 5 year old following through with that. How many totally ounces was it again? tgrimesGood bbq place sounds like a dream waitwhat. Maybe that will turn into a long weekend goal here too. Cheshie6 O went through a phase where he slept in our bed for like 9 months, from before 3 to after 3 1/2. It was not pleasant. I hope you do get L back into a better routine and dont get trapped like we did. |

MH is out of town until tonight so just me and the kids today. I tried to convince them to go to the science Center today but no one was very motivated to help get ready so I ditched that idea. Just before I put E down for a nap O was like, “ heeeey, we never went to the science Center, aww man.” Like I didn’t try kiddo, like I didn’t try.
But then like magic, as I was upstairs putting her down, O fell asleep on the couch waiting for me!! Quiet tea and reading for the win!!

tgrimes I had to do a cleanse as a teenager before a colonoscopy. It wasn't Gatorade though, but this big jug of clear liquid. I had to drink a cup every half hour or something, pretty much all day long. I was literally gagging and forcing myself to finish it after the first few cups. And like, I was old enough to understand why I was doing it and that I needed to do it. Can't imagine a toddler.

I mean, I wouldn't pay $500 for shoes, period. |

I’m pretty sure I have an ear infection in my right ear... fml. This reduced immune system can suck it. I’ve decided I can’t use the nose frida on O for the rest of my pg. H will have to do it bc at least he can take meds if it gets him sick.
Last night we met up with some families from Os daycare class for dinner at a spot w a play area attached. It was a lot of fun! I’m glad I befriended this one mom that is very social and organizes thing like that.

We went to a birthday party this morning. They had bounce houses and all the fun blow up things. C was SO excited to go down the slide. He hasn't really been able to play on them since the winter hit and you can tell he misses it. Seriously can't wait for our backyard!
We were going to go to a friends tonight for dinner and board games but her son isn't feeling good so she had to take him to the clinic. I think we're going to go out instead. We still have gift cards from the fundraiser we went to in October.

You gals, DH and I have a double date on Monday evening. It’s a couple from my work. They have 5 kids total (each brought 2 from a previous marriage then had one together and he’s only a few months older than L) and their oldest watched L during our date night. We’re going bowling lol.

I hope you do get L back into a better routine and dont get trapped like we did. 32 oz but if her poop isn’t clear we have to keep doing it. We are now on glass 6 at hour 10. She hasn’t had any food and is complaining of being hungry. We’ll drink the damn Gatorade faster and you could eat child!!! |

Is that alone supposed to help or do they do other testing after? All the rest of the tests were normal. We go to a different GI on the 27th. This guy was just the fast track dr to run tests and put a plan in place until our appt. He thinks she has cyclic vomiting syndrome. He called in a prescription for an antihistamine that’s supposed to lessen the frequency of the occurrences, but it sounds like he wants to see what the other GI thinks about it. The other drug that’s supposed to help us an antidepressant. I don’t think I want to go that route yet. |

My husband is freaking out over the littlest things with the boys and it's really starting to piss me off. Initially I felt for him because I know he's not used to spending this amount of time with them solo (I've been working more than normal). But he's really making it worse for himself (and the boys) and I'm starting to lose my patience with his attitude.

Yes, danib, that story sounds familiar. That’s what we went through this morning. There’s only so much calm modeling I can do. |

Conspiracy Theory: I think dad’s do that so we get frustrated and we “just take them.” Thinking back, my dad had the least patience, and all the dads I knew weren’t very patient and tolerated very little. I wonder if it’s generational and geographical too! I have older parents than even my husband and my dad in NYC did a lot more around the house like laundry, dishes, than say my FIL in Maine!?! FIL rarely did laundry, or dishes!
