Half of my family texted me yesterday and told me that they have to go to a out of town the weekend we were doing Josie's birthday party. It's a valid reason, and I'm not at all mad, so I did some quick finagling and texting, and now I'm having her party next Sunday at 11. We were doing dinner and now it's brunch so I'm at clean slate to build a menu. I'm thinking 2 make ahead egg stratas and 2 french toast casserole, bagels, lox, fruit salad, and Muesli. Then mimosas, Bloody Mary's and, of course, the cake!

I did my meal planning last night and made my grocery list, with the intention of being at Aldi as soon as they open at 9, but my motivation level is non-existent.
Nothing planned this weekend, I need to look at Evie's clothes and get her winter stuff in her dresser.
Exciting things. We also need to figure out our San Antonio trip, reserve hotels, things to do, etc.

I'm feeling good this morning. DH took DS1 to a birthday party. I'm taking T to the party store because he wants batman plates and stuff for his birthday party tomorrow. I'm so happy it's not at my house. It's at DD's gymnastic gym-90 minutes in and out. All I need to do is call the pizza place and make cupcakes. Hockey and soccer games later if I'm up it going.

I’m at ballet rn, of course. Every week, B says she doesn’t want to do ballet but then after the class she comes out all happy. I dont want to push her into activities she doesn’t like but I don’t really think she dislikes it. I’m not sure why she says that every week.
As for the rest of the day, I’m trying to figure out the order I want to get things done. I have all sorts of various errands and things I need to get done before the kids’ party next weekend. We’re going to a hibachi grill tonight for dinner. That’s about my only solid plan.

morning. We are out of coffee. I’m not happy about this. Millie went to bed late and woke up too early. We have a bday party at a bouncy castle place at 2 and dinner at my brothers house at 5 so no time for naps. I hope she crashes tonight. Then tomorrow we are hosting her family bday brunch (and I’m setting up my cousin through marriage with my babysitter). We are having mini quiches, pigs in a blanket, breakfast casserole, fruit salad, cheese tray, cupcakes. And mimosas. I’m trying to decide if we need anything else.

Morning. I’m in a mood I can’t seem to shed, I’m on the brink of crying the whole time. My sister flew in from Norway, but my mom has planned out her whole weekend and she hardly has any time to spend with me or the kids. Then she announced that they are probably not coming for Christmas, because they’re looking at going on vacation . My other sister is traveling too so isn’t there either. I’m just so exhausted and not in the slightest looking forward to the coming months.

9am gymnastics is kicking my butt. I need coffee, but didn't have time to stop. We may make a Dunkin run afterwards. Other than that it's just me and the girl today. I asked her what she wanted to do and she said build a block tower...so low key day.

nam2013 You’ve got a lot going on in addition to not sleeping at night. Would you consider some sort of sleep training for the kids? I only ask because I’ve had a week now of J STTN and I feel human again, sleep deprivation is tough. Please take care of yourself.

It’s B’s party day here, I’ve got a lot to do but right now just chilling on the couch with B. We’re heading to a trampoline park before we have people at the house and when we ask J if she is ready to bounce, she starts bouncing. Lol, funny girl.

vino first of all yaay for your J staying through the night!!! Just to clarify ds is sleeping a solid 11-12 hours every night?(7.30-7) so no complaints there. And I would and should consider sleep training, I just suck at it to start with and because I’m so exhausted I give in way to soon. I just had a discussion with my kid because broke a toy we borrowed, I took it way above his comprehension level and yelled at dd to stop wining... not my proudest moments.

Running group was awesome today and now I'm at home, waiting for the boys to pick me up to head back out to the barbershop. DH insisted I come home in between rather than meet them at the rink so I could shower. Good man. I also ate some insane pecan and caramel cookie my SIL left the other night. YUM.

I am going to the New England general discussions board gtg. I'm nervous since I don't know people as well as I know you all. It should be fun though.
C woke up feverish and sore from his shots yesterday. I couldn't get him to take ibuprofen liquid or chewable but he would take a pill and his dose is exactly 200mg so it worked out perfect. Within a half an hour he was himself again.
