We finished Friends From College last night and I am annoyed it wasn't renewed. We really liked it. Not too much going on today. I was super tired so I used some flex time to take a nap. I have my weekly call with my work friends soon and don't plan to do much work today. I watched half of the first season when it first came out and then totally forgot about it. I’m definitely looking for another show so I might give it a try even if there isn’t closure. I’m also going to attempt The Crown but I don’t love historical fiction (non-fiction). The first episode is so slow. I loved the crown. |

I was able to book an appointment for the covid test at 10.30 this morning, so I went and did that. It was crazy busy but so, so organized and went by pretty fast. MH is coming home today, which is a day earlier than expected, so the sheets have been changed back to our sheets from 'my' sheets  and since he's been in the field for 14 days he's going to be so tired. |

Coming up for air. I have the extra kids today. Mallory has a cold and is cutting a molar so she's in a great mood.. finally got her to nap at 3. We finished up Matthew's distance learning and he's on break now. He had to quarantine the last 2 weeks because a classmate tested positive. I wanted to test him and send him back but they wouldn't let me since you can get it anytime within 14 days. Principal told me based on Matthew's interaction with the student I should not be concerned. And I'm not. But its been wayyyyyy to much together time for my boys. I'm ready for them both to go to school on Mondays.
I'm officially weaning Mallory starting tomorrow. I have peppermint tea, what makes it taste better? And cabbage. Any other tricks to slow production and dry up my milk? I'm forgetting what I did last time. I'll do Sudafed too once she's not nursing at all.

I spent the morning running errands with all three kids. They were good, but it just added another level to it and I came home exhausted. I also made banana bread and am just putzing around doing stuff.
It feels like all I’ve done the past week is target and grocery order pickups and then today went into both of those stores. I better have everything I need for thanksgiving because I’ve bought so much.
But I still have no idea what to make for dinner tonight....

So L loves the coco melon show on Netflix and I saw they have a singing JJ doll. But apparently it’s hot item this year... so if any of you have this in stock near you and can pick it up without much trouble, I would pay you to ship it to me and love you forever! It should be $20, but appears to be going for a lot more some places(no thank you) www.target.com/p/cocomelon-roto-plush-bedtime-jj-doll/-/A-79517960 |

With both boys I just cut down the sessions and my milk adjusted. With B I had been going a while with just morning and night so then I cut to just morning (or night, now I can't remember which one), then cut that session short and one day I stopped. Thankfully my boobs just adapted. Makes me wonder how much they were even getting by the end. |

Since I had to pump at work I just down the amount I pumped each session slowly. Sorry not much help. |

It’s apparently in stock at a Walmart an hour from me, but i don’t always trust that, so I’m not going to bother driving there. we have friends kinda close so I’ll see if they can check next time they go. |

C: you can either go to your room or sit on daddy’s lap
E: No (in a cute way)
C: that’s cute you think there’s a 3rd option.
E: down please
C: ok
E runs around causing terror
Yet he says I’m the push over.🙄

GL w the weaning peachsmama. I’m the worst to ask bc I had major clogged ducts w both my kiddos. I even went super s l o w with weaning C after my previous experience w B and it still didn’t help. Lecithin became my best friend. Happy bday to N tallb! I’m loving all these Nov born sibs. 😍💛 .... not to say I don’t love sibs born in other months too! Just wanna be clear. |

He’s so nice and I was amazed at how gracious he was to seem like he was genuinely interested in meeting ppl and talking w them. I was also surprised at how short he was bc I always thought he was tall. He also had some bad ass cuff links on that had a C engraved in them with a crown over top of the C. poof |

I've been trying to slow down nursing but it was like she sensed it and nursed more.. so cold turkey it is. I'm nursing her thru tonight and start in the morning. I had to wait until A had time off. He gets up at 3:45 and drives 1.5 hours to work. I cant have her screaming through the night when he's getting up that early. So he's off Thursday-sunday this week. Hopefully it's not as bad as I'm anticipating. But I'm sure it will be traumatic for all of us..

We made it in before 6 with no traffic. 🙌🏽 We stopped for a bathroom break at a hotel and literally saw no one. No one was at the front desk when we walked in or out. Weird, but It was a quick stop and glad we didn’t have to pass anyone.
@yummercookee 😱😱 Camilla watch out! Prince C has the hots for our girl! 😆

Good luck peachsmama. I’m not looking forward to that with L. I don’t have a plan anytime soon, but I definitely don’t think he’ll self wean like H did. |

and since he's been in the field for 14 days he's going to be so tired.
