I got up at 400 to go to the gym. So I'm currently doing my warmup on the treadmill for my 5k run(ish)

Morning!
We have preschool orientation this morning! :cue heavenly chorus of angels singing: Can I get a hallelujah and an amen?
C also has her 9-month well-check today (5 days shy of her 10-month birthday...#MOTY). B is excited b/c we'll get to park in a parking garage. Cheap thrills.

I got an iced pumpkin spice latte. It's the nastiest thing ever. Luckily I didn't get it as my main drink. Just wanted to try it. Caramel for the win.

@prachsmama if you drink the caramel coffee, then you'd like just straight up pumpkin coffee - the same way you take the caramel one. I started drinking caramel when they discontinued pumpkin last year and the lady at Dunkin told me it tasted similar. I don't like the lattes either. Just coffee, both hot and iced Just remember how terrible they both are for you

We made pumpkin smoothies last night. Really good, and I'm not a big fan of the ubiquitous pumpkin spice. Think it's because I was able to control the amount. We used unsweetened cashew milk, and it was perfect. Here it is in case anybody's interested.

I'm ok. I really shouldn't have gone running but I feel I'm falling behind on getting to where I want to be for my 5k race. I know I will finish I just want to do well. Plus I can't take time off this week do to some projects.

Hey girls! I'm back home. Sent C1 off to school. Now I'm home with C2. I need to unpack, workout and clean this house until we have a doctor's appointment and pickup this afternoon. I really just want to curl up and nap. I think C2 has colic. And I'm fucking tired.

I really just want to curl up and nap. I think C2 has colic. And I'm fucking tired. Oh no! I was thinking M2 had a bit of colic too, but all the things I read say breastfed babies rarely get colic. Also, the whole 3 thing. He doesn't cry for 3 hours and he is consolable most nights, so I'm thinking just gas build-up throughout the day and his little tummy hurts at night. Our doc said to do the gerber soothe probiotic drops, but we've been doing them for a week and I haven't noticed a difference. I have been mostly dairy-free and avoid gassy foods, so I'm not sure what else it could be. 🤷🏽♀️

Morning. I'm tired even though I only had to get up once to feed M2. I just didn't sleep well. M is at school and I'll head back out to bring M2 soon. He had a good day yesterday and I'm hoping he has another good day today. I have more never-ending housework to do, but nothing else on the agenda.

I'm at work. Due to the hurricane we're sort of on hold. We need to speak to all of our clients to see how they want us to handle collection efforts. No one wants a lawsuit on their home when it just flooded but it's kind of our job so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Morning. We've been taking turns getting Colin up a couple times a night to pee since the weekend, and last night he actually got up himself about an hour before my scheduled turn. Which means he may actually be getting something out of this AND I got to turn off my midnight alarm. Win, win. My coworker was telling me that her friend had this beeper that went off once an hour over night to keep her daughter from sleeping so deeply that she was missing her body's signals. I'm kind of intrigued.
Not too much going on. Work was crazy last week so I'm getting a few days of calm. All the clients I've been working with are waiting to get back to me for weeks, which means I end up super busy without much notice. So I'm trying to appreciate the quiet while it lasts.

My boss went on a business trip with his boss. He told him I'm doing my job and the other annoying assistants job because she just won't do it. And they need to move all the files back to me since I'm managing them anyway.. I'm glad I'm getting recognized for all I'm doing but DNW the files lol. And DNW to be the person that got her fired after she's been here 15 years.. But seriously. If she would just do her job everything would be dandy!

The forest fires are something else this year. The entire NW is lit up and it's much closer than usual. Multnomah Falls Lodge almost burnt down, but luckily it was saved. They say at this point it's safe to be out, but not do any aerobic activity. Whoops to my walk/jog last night.
Last night was Maddie's Open House. It went really well. Her class size will be much smaller than I was anticipating. She got the first classroom right inside the building and it's one of 2 that has it's own bathroom right inside the classroom. She's in love with her teacher, it's too early for me to tell how I feel about her, but at least Maddie likes her already.

I just cut dairy today. I didn't get up with him once last night. I was done after being with him all day, driving in a car home from the Hamptons with him and MH went to a draft until about midnight. I basically handed the baby to him when he walked in and went to bed until six. MH ended being up with him all night. I couldn't deal with the crying anymore.

We were looking at pictures of the fires in the gorge last night, so hard to see. What a beautiful spot and what a loss bc a stupid kid threw fire crackers. Grrr. Be safe.

I'm sorry, Cher. Dude was the same for the first 8 weeks. You did the right thing by taking a break. You can only take so much screaming and it just seems eternal when they're like that.
