Those weekend randoms

[Betweenthelines]

[Betweenthelines]

I've been up since 5:15. Brought my mom to the airport and once I'm up, I can't go back to sleep. So I stopped at Starbucks and recreated the Americano Blanco I was drinking like water in Canada. It's so good.

Kids have dentist appts at 9:40 then ds needs a haircut after.

Other than that, I hope it'll be a lazy day.


Oh, I also have to pack away Halloween decorations.

[mommabakes]

My kids won't leave me alone. They're all sick, so DS2 needs me, and the bigger kids just want to be touching constantly. I'm so over it, but DH is at work all weekend so no breaks from the touchy feely munchkins. I feel like a huge jerk pushing them off of me constantly, but I am so touched out! Plus sick and exhausted myself.

No plans for the weekend, except a little laundry/cleaning. I really should figure out meal plans, but not sure if I'll get it done or not. It's supposed to be actually nice outdoors after a couple of weeks of cold weather, so I'd like to get outdoors. Not sure that will happen since we all have colds.

I’m sorry everyone’s sick and you’re touched out with no break mommabakes. Is there a movie that at least the bigger kids can watch so you can get a little relief?

[coconutbacon]

I’m en route to my 5K. The last mile is the same last mile as the nyc marathon, which is all set up for tomorrow, so it should be fun. And then I’m just a 5K away from guaranteed marathon entry for next year!

[jedi]

Morning! Heading to the inlaws for the day. Not looking forward to it. They have very little toys and basically have the tv on the whole time.

[mrspiatt]

I hope you get your lazy day Betweenthelines and glad you got to recreate your Starbucks yumminess!
mommabakes- sorry you’re all sick. I hope the bigger kids give you a break and you can all get outside for a bit.
coconutbacon good luck today!
jedi, sorry about the in laws... can you bring some stuff for the kids or will that cause problems? Maybe even just a book for DS1?

[jedi]

mrspiatt yep. We packed some toys and games. S1 didn’t want to bring books. He’s really into these chapter books and we read all the ones we got from her library. I’m usually plan throw better but s1 wanted to read a ton Yesterday.

[jedi]

mrspiatt keep us posted about DD

Will do, I just sent her a text asking her for updates. lol

[easternshoregirl]

This week was so busy, I didn't hardly post at all but I was lurking hard.
Not much interesting to report. I'm just getting bigger by the day. I'm already feeling uncomfortable but I still have awhile to go!

[Betweenthelines]

Having my second sbux of the day. We still aren't even home. We ended up going to Mercedes to look at a new lease after the dentist and ds's haircut.

[CestLaVie]

I was just considering putting a pot of coffee on Betweenthelines. We finished groceries and meal planning and there is a huge blizzard here so I want to just tuck in. Maybe even a nap.

The local volunteer firehouse had a BBQ fundraiser today, so I got a delicious pulled pork sandwich for lunch. Now I'm at work twiddling my thumbs until its time to gooooooooo.
Husband took the day off tomorrow due to a 10K run event that will seriously mess up traffic tomorrow. So we're gonna stay in and roast some marshmallows on our new fire-pit, assuming it gets a little cooler outside. (I haven't noticed any drunk behavior from him since I confronted him about the vodka bottle, so hopefully he's got back on track). Should hopefully be a nice, quiet weekend with no major plans. I do want to clean out kiddo's playroom. He just has too many toys (especially duplos and legos). It's driving me crazy because it's impossible to keep the playroom organized, and he doesn't play with 85% of it. So maybe that will be my project for the weekend. Oh, and I want to turn our pumpkins (we have a small pumpkin "patch" that produces small sugar pumpkins every year) into a pumpkin pie.

[mrspiatt]

So DD1 said it’s way too much to get into over text (she’s coming tomorrow for dinner). She did say she was happy with her conversation with HR- the guy hasn’t called since Thursday and they cancelled his appointment and he did not show up.

[coconutbacon]

That sounds like a relief mrspiatt. Curious about the full story!

[jedi]

No nap Saturday. Ethan never gets a nap at my inlaws. They don’t have a good spot for it. We usually bank on him falling asleep in the car. He slept like 20 min. His brother, you know the 5.5 yr old, slept almost the whole drive.... 1.5 hr out of 2 hours. We stopped at a restaurant for dinner before heading home.

[jedi]

He’s still making noise In his room but is almost asleep

[mrspiatt]

We went for a long walk today after breakfast. We started out just walking along the harbor, then ended up at the beach and had lunch on the way home. It was 8.4 miles in total and a bit more than I should have done, but I’m home now and we’re having left overs for dinner. I don’t want to do a damn thing tonight, I’m so tired.

[coconutbacon]

I had a good run this morning. I’ve never run this race before— it’s a 5K that ends at the NYC marathon finish line the day before, so it’s all set up. It was fun, but a little bizarre— I guess so many people who come into NYC for the marathon run this for photo ops. There were people all over just stopping in the middle of the race to take pics. A guy in my corral (NYRR races have thousands of runners so they corral you by letter with staggered starts), actually had a full size iPad that he was recording things with and then, I assume, running with for the 3.1 miles. So weird! It was a slow start especially, but despite that I did do an 8:26 pace, which is decent for me, plus it was a really great energy so I had fun.

After, I was trying to get back to take P to swim, but trains were messed up and it was super crowded to get a cab, so MH ended up having to take her. But he said she did great! We had a rough last week so that was good to hear!

Then we all went to a friend’s baby shower, which was nice.

[easternshoregirl]

I can't believe it, E was asleep by 8:30 tonight so DH and I watched episode one of Stranger Things! Yes, season one.
He's been going to sleep closer to 10 due to naps but he didn't get one today.

[easternshoregirl]

Boo I just posted comments to a bunch of you and my post got eaten by the interwebs!

[jedi]

I lied. He’s still awake. Good to know that it doesn’t matter if he naps 3 hours or does not nap
At all that he’ll still be awake until
Almost 9

Ahh I hate when this happens!!

[CestLaVie]

I stayed up a few hours and read Harry Potter and the cursed child last night. I’ve had it for a while but hadn’t read it yet. Not sure what to think but I want to see the play live really bad!

[coconutbacon]

Poppy slept until 7:30 (which is like 8:30) so that was really good. I was, however, sleeping on the floor beside her bed from 4am until that time. She also got up and told me she had to go poo poo, and then she went in the potty! We have barely been working on that so that was a surprise. I think it’s time for us to get serious with potty training. We have a parent teacher conference with daycare on Friday so I think I’ll talk with them about it then.

[easternshoregirl]

CestLaVie, you changed your name? (Sort of)

[Peekaru]

I think I’ve gotten maybe 10 hours of sleep this whole weekend, I am so cranky.

So I’m cooking to make it better. Pot roast going, going to make some pies and then sweet potato soup.

[coconutbacon]

Yum, what kind of pies Peekaru? (And sorry about the no sleep!)
