Body wants to be up at 4:30.. No, Body, it's the weekend, we can rest today! Got back to sleep until 6 but here I am with a headache from forcing myself back to sleep. Grocery shopping today and I think I'm going to run to Kohl's this morning for some doorbuster sales. Making peanut butter apple cookies this afternoon and my in-laws will be over to visit. H has some projects around the house so it look like I'll have A with me all day

Busy weekend starting....now! We're going to visit my sister's kids this morning to tell them about the baby! I'm so excited although I'm wondering if the oldest already knows. Then I'll drop E off with my mom while I go get a haircut. I'll probably just go with my standard but I'm always tempted to do something dramatic. My hair "has a lot of texture" (AKA it is frizzy) so it is tough to do some things I would like b/c I don't intend to put effort into styling it on a daily basis. Then later this afternoon we'll go to a friend's house for dinner with her family and our day care provider's family. They both have kids E's age. Oh, DH is sailing all day so I am solo.
Tomorrow...doing a photo shoot with E and my work BFF's son who just found out they are having another boy! I also plan on going to get a pedicure. Then my nephews' combined b-day party. They turn 8, 10 and 12, all within the span of one week! All August babies too.
Then after all this, I go back to work on Monday. WTF? That's why I'm getting myself all beautiful, I can't go back to school looking too rough b/c right now I just look like I'm getting flabby-no real bump I don't think.
We have to go to the store now though to get some stuff to take to our parties. I'm doing the same thing for both: tortilla chips and a dip I make with avocado, corn, black beans, feta, lime juice and cilantro. It is delicious, you should try it! (and super easy so I like making it when we're busy but people love it)

Just lots of wind and rain for us. OK, take care! Any risk for storm surge in your area? I hope the impact in your area is limited!

J decided 5 am was wake up time again. I tried to get him back to sleep before I locked him in there I cry. It didn't take long before he laid down against the door and went back to sleep. He slept until 7 so I will take it. Poor guy did keep hitting the door in his sleep though.
I am now in the treadmill at the gym waiting for class to start. I'm still nauseated so we'll see how this goes.

I feel like there's so much to do, but I have no energy or gumption to do anything. I need this week to fade and for me to get my head out of my arse.
Birthday party this morning. Then try to be productive.

Hi.
Got 8 hours of glorious sleep.
We have a birthday party. I'm pretty excited because another mom went in on the aquarium idea. So we got two tickets. Her theme is ariel so we're going to put in the card to look for her at the aquarium.

Thanks for checking in easternshoregirl. I'm about 400 miles from the coast (bc TX is huge) so we aren't expecting anything other than maybe some rain.

Why am I hung over? Not actually, because zero alcohol... but OMG- I feel like crap. I'm about to get yo and start my day. I need to jump in the shower, then wake up H and get him in the shower (he will actually be hung over). Sandwiches need to be made... then DD1 and her should be getting here with A. Off to the SD Wild Animal Park, then dinner with H's Aunt and a couple cousins. H and I are staying down there tonight. My niece that's in the Navy and stationed down there was supposed to join us for the day, but Harvey has changed stuff. She's an airplane mechanic and needs to work today because planes need to fly to TX. So we'll see her tomorrow for a bit, she's being deployed in a couple weeks, so we need to get in some time.

DD1 said A was great last night! She demanded piggyback rides after they ate and then they laid down in bed (the only piece of furniture in their place) and watched Coraline and snacked on grapes.

OMG, DH. Driving me crazy....the exact same thing is happening this weekend as a few weeks ago. We decided he would go sailing on one day this weekend (there are races both days but mama needs some time on the weekend too) and the gd rudder broke in the first race so now he wants to go back tomorrow. I told him I want to go get a pedicure so either he needs to be back by 2 this afternoon or not go tomorrow. We'll see what happens. Those people (our friends) just need to make a new rudder. I'm sure they'll need to make it b/c these boats are from the 1800s. Probably not easy but if it keeps breaking, you aren't going to be able to do any races anyway.
In other news, my hair stylist made me beautiful. Well, my hair at least. She is so wonderful. She's very young but talented! I got a few inches cut off and it's just layered but feels/looks really nice. I want to get the serum she used on me too, I got a good look at it so I know what to get. They don't sell it there, it is actually way cheaper than the brand they offer which is great!

Up and done with 27 miles, with lots of hills. Now we are off to lunch, and I might have a nap.
Also it really feels like I have mastitis, but I am not nursing, nor have I for 10 months. WTF?

So last week was finals. And several nights I didn't do dishes right after dinner (saved them for the morning) because I needed every baby-free study minute I could get. Apparently, that has indicated to our temporary roommate that she doesn't need to clean up after herself. DH did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen after we ate last night. And then she cooked for herself (she's vegetarian and we had tacos) and left a huge mess in the kitchen. I had to clean THREE pots and pans, the cutting board, 2 bowls and utensils plus wipe down the stove so I could make breakfast this morning.
I'm happy to be doing a nice thing for someone. But I'm happy she will be leaving soon. I'm NOT cool with cleaning up after another person. I've already got 2 kids and a husband.

Bands of wind and rain here. We still have power so far. 2 days trapped inside with a toddler and no alcohol tho.

I got out and ran 3 miles this morning. It was a little rough but I got it done. I haven't run at all in the past 6 weeks so I'm just glad I got myself out there. Our weekends get so busy and it seems like exercise is the first thing to go.
I've been trying to be productive with the rest of the day. Cleaning, organizing, nothing exciting, just stuff that desperately needs to get done!

aydee that is the recipe! I just do a can of black beans (rinsed of course!), a can of corn, a couple avocados, handful of cilantro finely cut, juice from a lime, mix in some feta and boom! People will love you. You could do all kinds of variations....I've done it with black eyed peas or added green onion for example. Oh and add some s&p always! I just try to cut the avocado about the same size as corn/beans.

Passes to aquarium was a hit! The mom loved it and said she might need to steal the idea.

Ordering pizza for dinner then it's off to the pool. I'm hoping to tire these kids out so they fall asleep easily tonight and I can have a peaceful Saturday evening.

Hey there! I haven't checked in in awhile, but I think I'm caught up. I'm solo parenting for a week. One day down, 7 to go. Oof. What kind of H leaves the country when his wife is thirty weeks pregnant?! At least my mom is spending a couple night with me.

Happy weekend ladies!
DH got the kitchen painted today, which I'm super excited to have done! Got pizza for dinner, which was delicious. I'm in bed now and H is trying to watch the fight, I think. No plans for tomorrow.
Any tips on keeping my kid in his bed? We moved him in with DD and he keeps climbing into her bed to snuggle up with her. She is usually ignoring him or already asleep when he does this. While it is adorable, I really want him to stay in his own bed.
