Friday!
I am pumping and looking at Halloween costumes. I think j and n will be "fire dogs" aka Dalmatians. I suggested we have n be one and j be a golden retriever, like his puppy, but now he wants everyone, including his stuffed animal to be a Dalmatian. Sure, why not.
Also j was going to the bathroom and announced he pooped...he was standing up! Wth! Now I have to sanitize the bathroom rug. I know not to make a big deal about accidents, but I can't help but gag and stomp around when dealing with 💩 not in a diaper.

Well, I have now ordered the main parts of my Halloween costume(Anna). I have the materials to make Cadence's(Elsa). I'll still need to go get material to make us each capes, which she has given strict instructions that it must cover her shoulders and go all the way to the floor! I'm going to try to remember to get the initial tulle cut tonight so I have the proper length, so I can work on it this weekend at my Dad's.

We have a huge event at work today and tomorrow. Several thousand people will be in attendance. MH and I have to work till 11 tonight and be back at 8am tomorrow. My staff and the LE staff are in charge of parking and traffic control. Which pretty much sucks. It’s going to be 84* today and 87* tomorrow. Our uniforms are not great for the heat. Why can’t it be a balmy 65* this weekend?
My parents are on their way to visit/babysit this weekend. They will be picking S up from day care today when they get into town. I’m excited for their visit even though I will not get to spend much time with them.

The other day I came downstairs and my mom said, "maybe you want to check on Atticus, he's been in the bathroom a long time." I went in to find he was very pleased with himself because he used the toilet brush to "clean the floor." Gag.

I really just want to go back to bed. Bed sounds lovely. Unfortunately, my bed comes with a 3 year old who sleeps horizontally.

I treated myself and got pumpkin pancakes (I was skeptical but OMG- They were amazing) and hash brown casserole. Carb over load.

I was trying to think of brother-sister costumes, but B wanted to be a Navy pilot again, and short of C being Goose (ha) or Kelly McGinnis's character from TopGun I couldn't come up with anything, lol. So she's going to be a ballerina.

I told her I would make her a better one. Basically I'm pinteresting an Elsa dress. It's going to have a long tulle skirt. She going to love it.

Hi all! Happy Friday. B had school this morning and is currently watching 101 Dalmatians while C naps. It's rainy and gross here today but at least it cooled off. I probably should've done housework this morning but instead spent my free time online shopping trying to coordinate outfits for family pictures I scheduled for early November. Looks like DH will be home by then; they're thinking sometime next week if all goes well this weekend. Fingers are crossed. eta: xolastunicornxo that may be one of the best FFFC's I've ever read. Well done.

I'm like half in love with my new co-worker. We just click so freaking well. I'm so glad she's working here now. I'm already sad they will be PCSing next year lol.
I found out I'm going TDY to my hometown and I'm taking Layla with me so that my mom can watch her for me. Is it bad that I'm planning to get a hotel and have a little mom vacation instead of staying at my parents lol? It's over Halloween, so I will definitely do Halloween with them, but the other nights I'm not planning to be around....

Hi! I popped in earlier at the mention of queso and thought I would have time to make a general post, but work...
It's been steady and I had to take an early and long lunch to pick M up from school and drop him off at a friend's house to spend the afternoon. Tonight is my first night solo with the boys overnight. Not looking forward to it. I hope I can keep everyone in a good mood. The TV or iPad will most likely be parenting M. It's been a long work week and I want to chill out. Here's hoping for an early bedtime...

Guys!! I have such a good FFFC that I’ve been sitting on for a few days! So, for a .... not insignificant... amount of time, I thought Justin Theroux (jennifer Aniston’s husband) and Justin Trudeau (PM of Canada) were the same person. I was always impressed that he could run a country and have a successful acting career in the us. 😳😳😳 /ded Here lies vino from the best FFFC in all the land.

I'm around the military a lot. PCS just means a military move (permanent change of station) and TDY means temporary duty. So I'm just traveling for work.

DH got 6 tickets to the Devils game tonight. He took DS1 and 2 of his friends and their dads. T cried so hard when he found out he wasn't going so I took him and DD out to dinner.
When I called my friend in California to see how he was doing with the fires, he was actually on his way to NJ (not fire related, his house is fine.) He was my best friend in college and we rarely see each other. I'm going to breakfast with him tomorrow and then out to dinner with DH and 2 other couples tomorrow night. This will likely be my last kid free events before the baby.
Next week the people interviewing for my job are coming to do sample lessons. The guy they hired on my last maternity leave got fired before my leave was up so hopefully they can find someone good this time.

I stopped at Target on my way home to fill Hs scripts. Of course they don't have enough Percocet to fill the script. If they do a partial, they have to fill the balance in 72 hrs, which they can't do. So I will be going to another CVS, which I passed on my way to Target, tomorrow.
I'm over getting Hs meds.
When I asked him tonight if it was cool if I went to the winery with his mom Sunday, for her bday, his response was 'I guess.' listen mf-er, I'm not discussing this. I going. My mom is watching Evie.

I had planned to cook tonight but Papa John's delivery won out. Kids were asleep by 8 and I'm in bed with a glass of wine. Hoping the rain will let up tomorrow so we can get out. DH called while I was bathing the kids...it was dumb luck but that is like, the absolute worst time to try and chat, b/n trying to prevent C from drowning or falling and B from flooding the bathroom. That's only the second time he's been able to get a line out so I felt bad that I was so distracted and not more chipper. Oh well.

I'm sorry flamingo, it's so tough to because there is no 'perfect' time. If anything the craziness probably makes him miss you guys more.

That sucks flamingo. I'm sure he understands that the timing was bad but just enjoyed hearing your voice and the kids as well. Hopefully next time the opportunity arises, it's better for everyone!

I'm sorry mwhip you definitely need sometime to yourself, it's been a long week. He is probably jealous that you can go out and about and he's stuck. Basically being a patient and/or a caregiver sucks, it's a temporary life change for both of you.

Yes, you're right, and I also think he feels guilty that he's not here. On a positive note, though, B got to talk to him, and we put him on speaker so he could talk to C and her little face lit up. That was pretty cute.
