Who has 2 thumbs and drove all 3 kids to NJ for the weekend? This girl! Spending the weekend with my ILs while DH works for the world's most demanding client ugh. We broke the drive into 2 chunks so it was about 6 hours each day. We got in yesterday, MIL herded the older 2 out to the backyard and sent me to the guest room to take a nap. I'm winning right now

Morning. Lazy day here since we are in the throes of potty training J. The boys and I are hanging out in the basement watching Monsters, Inc while H sleeps in.

Way to be a badass jess213! I did four hours solo with both kids the other week. I'm not sure I'm brave enough for three yet. Lazy morning here. There are lots of people to entertain ds so it's nice to spend some one on one time with the baby. Speaking of which, she just rolled back to belly and then belly to back for the second time this week. Soooo I guess I should drop the swaddle. Boo. Maybe when I get home this weekend. Sighs.

I'm here, with coffee, that I spilt on me and the couch. I'm in Day 3 of what is essentially a 7 day stretch of mh working. Dd is reading books in the corner singing "for the first time in forever" and R is sleeping. He was up and down all night but didn't need a bottle until 8:45 and then went back to sleep. No plans for today but I really should work on cleaning my house some more since my ILs are coming on Wednesday.

@jess123 and & @ lakes and all you solo travelin' mamas I'm so impressed by you! I'm doing it this summer to Jacksonville to visit my brother while mh lays wood floor in our living room and I am not looking forward to the drive. Y'all are amazing!

You can do it meeggaannw! It's really not super awful if you know where you can stop if needed along the way. And snacks. Lots of toddler snacks for the stops.

Good job with all the solo traveling everyone! I'm up watching Mickey with my toddler. We decided today is her day and she can do whatever she wants (within reason). She decided she wants to go to the park,your dreams are so small when your two.

Add me to the solo travelers. 2 hr drive with the kids this morning. Fx B sleeps the whole way.
We're spending the weekend down the cape but DH is renting a truck and brining down some built in cabinets, so we're traveling separately.

J has been kicking ass and peeing in the potty like champ. He hasn't told me he has to go or anything yet but every time I prompt him he goes.

We are headed from Pittsburgh to eastern PA to visit the ILs. Still sick. This trip so far has gone extraordinarily well, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it continues to be easy! 2.5 down, 2.5 to go.

Spent 3+ hours on the beach this morning and now everyone is napping except me. DS had so much fun and M napped on me. We're going to a cookout at some family friends' house tonight so hopefully the kids take good naps and are pleasant! Yay for so much help for the weekend jess213! Glad you're getting some rest! Hooray for good progress on potty training heybulldog!

Toddler is still sick so we have no weekend plans. He's on the mend at least. DH just left for work. We're all on the couch watching Color Crew.
N had me up at 4 and then again at 5:30 bc she didn't go back to sleep. Fx they dual nap later so I can rest.

B is napping on me and DD is being entertained by a friend of the family. Soaking up these rare baby snuggles while I can. I'm also sitting on the couch watching Friends reruns. I miss having cable at home lol.

Talking politics and planned parenthood with bil and fil. Wow! Not sure I could do that, pretty sure my ILs voted for trump. As much as I love fil, we don't really agree on politics. Bil and I tried our best.

Lakes feeling you on that mental load thing right now. I told Steve I needed help packing because I'm sick but he did not pack a SINGLE thing I didn't explicitly tell him to, and we ended up forgetting the RnP 🙈🙈🙈. So we have nowhere to just set L down except hardwood floors.

Spent all afternoon at the boardwalk in Point Pleasant and the kids had a BLAST! Just got back and as we were turning onto my ILs road, Nora projectile vomited all over herself 🤢

Like in commiseration, not because I think we need to make America great again. ETA: I try not to get political on here but that gif made me laugh. Sorry if I offended anyone.
