I actually got a decent amount of sleep last night, but apparently it still wasn't enough to catch up, because I have almost fallen asleep several times at work today. I am a good employee. lol. I've been trying to cut back on coffee in order to drink more water, but it's hard 😩 I've been busy lately. I've been going to bootcamp classes and tonight I got my hair done. I get highlights every once in awhile and I forget how much longer they take than a haircut!

Good morning and happy Friday! I have to leave for work in 15 minutes and DH is still sleeping, but so are the boys, so it’s fine. DH is heading up north to hunt this weekend but we have lots of plans. Dinner out for my brother’s birthday tonight (🤞 C behaves) then lots of Halloween activities tomorrow and Sunday.

The cough medicine I am on has codeine in it so I sleep like a baby right now. The other night I guess I put E in our bed and I had no recollection of it in the morning

I am the late person at work, but it meant that I got to go to the 6:10 workout class instead of the 5 am that I usually do, so I got a little extra sleep. I have 1.5 hours left. Once I get home, we are going to Chili's. I would very much like a margarita. I have to work tomorrow, though, which is a bummer. But I plan to just listen to my podcast while I work, so it should go by pretty quickly. I actually like working alone for that reason.

We went out for dinner tonight too. Just a quick Mexican place that DD likes. I posted a pic to my if stories of her sitting in a regular chair and drinking from a regular cup, our TWO year olds are getting so big! Sorry you have to work tomorrow 😩 when you work Saturdays is your DH home with the girls?

blabbermouth I saw your story and I’m so jealous of your (seemingly) well-behaved toddler! Our dinner out last night was okay. C hardly ate anything, per usual, and we had to take lots of walks around the restaurant. Luckily they had a little game area and it was very family friendly. The high chair with lap belt did little to contain him. My dad joked that they should make those things with a 5 point harness. We even resorted to having him watch little baby bums on my phone while we ate and that helped him sit still for a little bit.

It helps to go to a place like that where you walk in and order at the counter and it's ready in ten minutes. Also getting a sparkling water is a treat for her so she spends that waiting time chugging it. Also there's lots of people coming in and out so lots to look at, she needs attention haha.

C did okay at the restaurant last night, but I think she was hungry before we got seated, because she kind of melted down. Until she got fries. Each day when I have picked her up from day care this week, she has asked for fries, LOL. I am glad she finally got some!

Hi all. It’s been awhile. Prepping for vacation, week with no WiFi and then vacation hangover! Lol. The Disney cruise was ok, but I wouldn’t recommend it with kids our age. It was hard, esp for the non PT kid, and I really didn’t get to take advantage of much of the entertainment for the kids, or any time for myself. I didn’t even get in the pool because DS couldn’t go in, and spent more time circling the deck trying to get him to nap in the stroller. Dinners were long for them to sit through and then non of the nightly shows or “parties” started before 8:30. FWP, I realize. Randomly my boss went the weekend after us with his older kids (5&7) and had a similar opinion.
We are having lots of problems with him napping since being back too. I’m currently sitting in the car again.

ldubhawksfan thank you for the info about the Disney cruise. I have thought about it, but I think I’m glad we haven’t tried it yet. Even my 5.5 year old would have trouble with shows at 8:30 pm.

ldubhawksfan thank you for the info about the Disney cruise. I have thought about it, but I think I’m glad we haven’t tried it yet. Even my 5.5 year old would have trouble with shows at 8:30 pm. I feel shitty even “complaining” but yeah it was hard and we even had our expectations low when I read that DS couldn’t go in the pools since not PT. The splash pad for non PT was so small. Food was really good though. We were trying to reflect on whether it would have been better to try to do the 7:45 dinner time with the show before at 6, thinking we could have grabbed the chicken fingers for them before, but then I think it still would have been hard to contain them for our dinner. IDK. Some fanatical ppl were definitely there for themselves. Like the one night we tried the nursery for DS, I picked him up at 8 after our dinner and he was a mess, but there were 3 couples in front of me dressed up for the pirate party just dropping off their cranky toddlers/babies. Like those kids are over stimulated and ready for bed!! DD seemed to like kids club when she was there with her cousin. I think if DS were her age and PT (so like 4 &6), it would have been more enjoyable for all. Though my boss said their dinners (they did late schedule) was a shit show with their kids. At least he got to enjoy the adults only pool though since his kids liked kids club! 😂. Honestly I think my nearly teen niece and nephew enjoyed it the most because they had independence to check themselves in and out and made friends. I don’t think we are cruise ppl, but at least with the convenience of going out of SD could maybe make me try again when the kids are older. There were several really special moments that I enjoyed. ETA: I should say that a week unplugged from WiFi, & no cooking and cleaning was the best part for me though!!

Ours is on Thursday on Halloween and it’s supposed to snow 🥶 Yeah our city always does the Sunday before Halloween. I like it because then I’m not rushing to get home from work and get out. And this year I especially like it because it was mid-50s instead of the snow and freezing forecasted. Gotta love WI- all costumes must be able to accommodate a winter coat lol

Happy Tuesday!
This weekend we finally carved our pumpkins. We have also started the terrible fall clean up with leaves and getting ready for the dreaded S word.
We do trick or treat on Halloween here. It's supposed to be raining. We will do the trunk or treat the school is putting on. It's in walking distance away and starts early enough that we can get some candy and still be home at a reasonable time. Plus they do it rain or shine.
There is a petition going around to have trick or treating on the last Saturday of the month. I would love it if it passes. It's too much during the school week.

I'm sorry about the cruise ldubhawksfan. We looked at one a few years ago and decided just to do Disney for basically the same reasons it wasn't as enjoyable for you. It sounds like something that might be fun when the kids are much older.

Happy belated anniversary to you too, ldubhawksfan! YAY rooskie! Good luck!!! We managed the impossible - N stayed bruise free AND the weather cooperated on Sunday for our pictures! (Well, in the afternoon at least. In the AM it was dark and rainy.) I got the proofs back from the photographer today. N is adorable, H looks great, and holy shit I did not realize I had gotten this big. Trying desperately to keep working and not burst into tears. Shit needs to change. Now. On the plus side, my friends and I are fielding a team for a special Harry Potter trivia night tomorrow. Puts me in a weird spot since if the Nats win tonight and force a Game 7, the event moves to November 20. I want the Nats to win, but I also want to go out tomorrow lol. Our team name is "Short Skirt, Longbottom". FX the forecast for Thursday changes, right now it's supposed to rain. Not that we were going to do any serious t-o-t'ing with N, just going to a few neighbor's houses, but we're really looking forward to it. Plus, we have like 3 boxes of full size candy bars and given the aforementioned paragraph, I need a run of kids to get it out of my house.
