Hi from VA!
We left ME yesterday morning at 6 but made such good time that I decided to alter our route and do the drive in one day (I'd originally planned to stop overnight in PA). The last hour or two were a bit hairy but we MADE IT! 15 hours in the car with me, the kids and the lab. 700 someodd miles. I feel like I deserve a mimosa this morning.

Today's my Friday since we're going up north tomorrow. I am.. not prepared. I've never been so blah about getting ready for a weekend trip. We haven't started packing, planning food, etc. So it'll be a busy night and morning.
C decided last night that daddy couldn't put him to bed and only mommy had the magic touch of laying him in his crib. Then he woke up at 1 then again at 2 crying. I checked his diaper to make sure he didn't poop and that woke him up. We gave him a bottle and then some Tylenol and he finally calmed down enough to go back to sleep. And of course that extra 10 minutes of H being awake meant he woke up late this morning while I still got up at normal time. I am tired. So glad all my meetings are getting cancelled today.

Have you guys seen Ellen DeGeneres' line at Buy Buy Baby? I love this. Next baby might be getting all Ellen stuff.

Oh that's super cute goldenlove. ED also has a furniture collection with Thomasville (iirc...). It's more contemporary than my personal style but I liked a lot of it.

I picked up the twins this morning and my mom told me Kara started walking last night. In the two hours a week I am not with them. They didn't video.
OMG

DS is the ring bearer in a wedding tomorrow so we're headed down to Rhode Island this afternoon to go to the rehearsal tonight. I'm supposed to be WFH but I have to pack for myself and the kids, plus prep and pack my meals for the weekend, so I probably will get little to nothing actually done work-wise.
D woke up around midnight the past two nights for about an hour. This morning I had to get up at 6 sharp to make it to Orangetheory so I'm majorly dragging. Please send me good sleepy hotel vibes for this baby the next two nights!

If my child takes one more dog bone out of a dogs mouth and then sticks it in hers I will actually die.
But high fives to the wiener dogs for putting up with her so well. Their bellies are going to be dragging on the floor soon from all the treats I've been giving them.

danib, happy birthday to C!! goldenlove, I hope this weekend ends up being fun for you! Also, I want everything in that picture. dashook, I want to see pics of the little man in his tux (I'm assuming he's wearing a tux?) starbuck, clearly your mom was drunk or high or both and she just hallucinated K walking. Because there's no way K would walk without you there to witness it.

Today is our company picnic and I brought in the maple bacon fudge for the bake-off. It didn't set as well as I had hoped in the fridge over night, so I'm hoping that since I cut it into squares this morning, it'll set better in the fridge here at work. I'm actually pretty nervous about it.

I seriously hate my desk and neighbors. No one has respect for my space since it's condensed and they treat it like a meeting space. This dude was seriously sitting on the edge of my desk which is 2 feet from me and inches away from pictures of my baby. GO AWAY!!!

My personal space bubble is very large and this is making me feel like bugs are crawling over me. Screw off rude man!! Seriously though. Who puts their butt on someone else's...anything?

It drives me crazy. I mean I will lean against people's desks when talking to someone but not when they are sitting there. Even worst is when they sit directly behind me and eat really loud in my direction. Gag.

I just always get nervous about this stuff for some reason. I mean, they give out gift cards to the winner, so it's not like it's this huge prize or anything.
