Another day, another leaky boob lol.
My big boy turns 4 tomorrow and I'm having lots of feelings. I get so proud watching him grow and learn, but I'm so sad he isn't a baby anymore. At 4 I don't think I can really even call him a toddler 😭

Work is dumb as always. Someone asked me to present something on Monday even though I have zero updates on it (and there's a ton of stuff happening at a higher level than me). I was already trying to decide if I should take a vacation or WFH day so now that's even more enticing just so I can say no.

So finally had not an awful night last night. I am 9 days into another dairy/soy free diet. But I've already accidentally messed up twice! Seriously sophiegrace, I don't know how you've been so breezy about this diet. It sucks. I'm like depressed when I can't find any food that works. And I keep going for my staples and realizing I can't eat them. I reeeeeeeally hope she outgrows this by 1. What's your plan now that you have the allergy results? Wait a few months and try again?

Well, as a result of yesterday's thread, I just dropped some serious $$$$ on babygap. I had $10 in rewards that I 'needed to use' so that is how I'm justifying it.
In other news, J is pulling to stand on everything and it's keeping me on my toes. And B likes to try to peel his fingers off of whatever J is holding so then J falls down and gets upset and B just laughs. This is literally my entire day.

I feel you waitwhat. Whenever O is standing on a stool (in the kitchen or washing hands), E will stand up holding onto it and O steps on her hands every time. Like, on purpose. Just finally this morning, he was calling for her and trying to convince her to crawl into the other room instead of dragging her there. Big progress over here.

Hi ladies! Working away on this reply brief today. I'm leaving a little early so I can meet up with one of my IRL mom friends for dinner. Her son and DS are one day apart in age and we haven't seen them in forever. I'm a little sad that I won't be able to take down mai tais with her but it should still be fun

So a few weeks ago when I ordered a bunch of stuff from Fabletics they added a magazine subscription to my order. I forgot to remove it when I checked out and I guess my magazine arrived yesterday because I got this text from MH:

No, thankfully. It was a free one year subscription. I actually went back and checked my confirmation email, it was supposed to be Sports Illustrated. Which I am also not really interested in, but it would have been slightly better than Men's Fitness. I need to call Fabletics anyway, I skipped this month but they charged me anyway, and now I need to figure out how to cancel a subscription to Men's Fitness.

4 danib?!! How? Such a big boy 😭 he was a baby when we all started joining N16. I vote yes to the day off goldenlove hangry oh I feel you. It's...really not fun. Especially when all the lunch talk starts. I was practically drooling the day blizzards were being talked about lol!! But, other than the occasional craving, I'm pretty much used to it. It's just so much easier for me to squash the desire to eat something I shouldn't than to deal with a miserable baby. It's not easy though. So much that I used to eat is a no go. Soooo much. There is one restaurant in my town I can go out to eat at. And the only safe fast food is five guys and I can't get a bun. CFA? They use soy as a plumper so that's out. I meet with the allergist on Friday so I'll have a better idea of what we'll be doing short and long term. I'm anxious. IFL babygap waitwhat Have so much fun tonight dashook DYING jubilantsquirrel

Happy early birthday to C danib! Yay for a not awful night hangry! waitwhat Lilah is climbing stuff and Lillian gets mad when she climbs into Big L's pink chair. She usually just fake cries and asks me to get Lilah, but occasionally she'll push her off. I feel like Lillian was more adventurous so not nearly as many bumps and bruises on Lilah. Have fun dashook! Sorry you're dealing with your first ppp. Lol jubilantsquirrel. At least it was free.

We have had a busy morning at the bank and then creating an ad for my club's open house and spirit night with another mom. We are heading off to Target soon to get some stuff for DH's classroom and then pick up lunch at CFA. My mom might come watch the girls while I help dh decorate etc. Then store and dinner. Busy busy day!
Some of you saw that lilah took her first (2) steps on Monday. Today she tried again and took about 6 in a row! I'm so proud of her and she's so happy! I love seeing these big milestones.

danib Happy Bday to C! What a big boy! hangry Yay for the good night! Things are still so unpredictable here. Sunday they wake up once and Monday we're all partying midnight to 4am straight. I give up trying to understand. waitwhat I was just thinking about this today, I go back and forth between whether it's harder with twins or a toddler and infant. Like twins is hard yes. But also a toddler can be a little asshole sometimes so I was like grateful that I dodged that bullet? I don't know, I'm grasping here bc I KNOW someone's got it harder than me lol. Like starbuck and my coworker who has (now older but once young) 14 year old daughter and 12 year old twins. I am guessing she went through a lot of alcohol 12 years ago and/or prayed a lot. classymrsa Was today YHs first day back? Or did I miss it. How's going?

I had a moment to reflect during lunch and realized how woe is me my complaining about this silly diet is. I need to back off and give credit to people like danib who deal with these struggles all the time and waitwhat as an allergy-kid mom. Sorry for my pity party. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Carry on.

I have been packing and prepping all day bc we leave tomorrow for a week of travel to visit the families. I made an absurdly long list of everything we need. The car is going to be jammed up! I thought of you tgrimes bc I can only imagine having to pack everything for a plane trip with 2 kids. No wonder you were stressed! Hope your vaca is still amazing!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Carry on. Girl, you are totally justified in how you feel. You do not have it easy. Cutting out those foods is tough because there is literally dairy and soy in everything. I give you props. This world is not made for allergenic people. I can't wait for the day B can order off the kids menu at a restaurant instead of getting a "cheeseburger without the cheese and no bun because it's cooked in butter". I tried going GF for two weeks a few years ago and it was hell. So hard.

W taught the twins that screeching is hilarious so all three of them are screaming at each other in some strange banshee chorus.
