Good morning!!!
DH was up late playing xbox & his office is right next to DDs room. She had a rough night & apparently he went in to her a few times. He is SO grumpy this morning lol. She also only wants him to help her on the weekends so of course it was “daddy I’m hungry” this morning. I offered suggestions of what he could make her & he was like NO ALL OF THAT IS TOO MUCH WORK IM EXHAUSTED CANT YOU SEE THAT. 😂😂 Besides being irritated that he is being a grouch, it is funny to see him catch a glimpse of my life every day during the week.
Also— reasons moms are always exhausted as demonstrated by my husband...we are constantly thinking through everything we do. He just does what looks easiest at the time. For example, “DD is wearing a diaper so why do I need to have her go potty in the morning? I’m exhausyed & don’t feel like it.” Well too bad bc we’re trying to teach her this is what you do (she is daytime PT) and this is how we eventually get to nighttime PT. He was like “ughhh so much work.” Yes, it is!!!

I’m at the lab for my one hour GD test. I’m starving and that drink was blech. I just want a cup of coffee 😭 50 minutes to go. DH is pissy because he has to work from 11am to 10pm on Saturdays so usually I take the baby all day. Sorry dude, I’m not having a fun time either!

Hey! We are swapping DD1 into a “big girl” room and baby into the nursery so we are going to put the crib together this weekend.
We are also currently trying the clean the cupboards challenge. My H is not amused lol. I figured it’s s good time leading into Thanksgiving and before baby comes.
No real plans which I’m glad about.

watermelonseed tell me more about this challenge! I am intrigued. DH works all weekend and it is cold and crappy outside so we will probably be watching a lot of TV again. I hate winter!! Monday is DH's birthday so I am taking him to birthday dinner tonight. I could only get reservations at 5:30, so I told him he could pick a movie to go see if he wanted. He is between Thor and another superhero one - Justice League? I hate superhero movies but whatever 🤐

This thing is huge and it’s freaking me out. Before you lose sight of it, find a big heavy book you don’t mind getting messy or a shoe and throw it on it. When l use a book, l step on it and then my H deals w it when he gets home.

I have sort of a paralyzing, unreasonable fear of insects so hitting it with a book is not an option. That would be getting waaaay to close. The moment it moves I would run. I thought about using my broom to knock it to the floor but I know I won’t be able to get close enough to smoosh it with a shoe. I also can’t spray it with anything because it’s right above my cats food dish.

peachesncreamIt goes by different names/rules, but basically we are trying to eat what we have in the House. Only shopping for basics like milk, eggs, bread and similar staples. I’m definitely guilty of over spending in the grocery department or having stuff in the freezer/cupboards that I pretty much always skip over. 🤷🏻♀️ It’s helped me get more creative to make things out of what we have on hand or force us to eat those pork chops that have been in the freezer.

Morning!
DS's hockey team (parents) have to volunteer for a hockey tournament in town today so I'll be making a pot of chili this morning and H is going to take it in and work at the rink kitchen for 3 hours.
There's a steak supper fundraiser in town tonight for the volunteer fire department and I'm trying to decide if I have the energy to go to that, lol.
Then tomorrow is second round playoff football whoop whoop!! I might see if we can go to the farm and watch it with my dad. My mom is leaving for Vegas tomorrow for a few days and we haven't been out there in awhile so I'm sure he'd enjoy the company for the game!
Have a good weekend!

Hi all,
I'm ambitious about cleaning up around the house for the day. Except my back is KILLING me. Sooooo that's a joy.
MH has been sick all week and at this point he's milking it. I'm really over it. Get the fuck out of my way or be useful, dammit.

A little sick here. Just a cold but ugh. Hot water with honey, netipot, steamy showers. DS got it at day care this week but he is already feeling better today so that gives me hope!

I had to get up "early" and go get my hair done, but it was so worth it. I had stretched my color beyond reasonable limits trying to wait until just before the holidays (and maternity pictures) and then go again in mid-January so I don't look like a hag when I give birth. I feel better with a haircut and fresh color, I even treated myself to some highlights which I usually don't do because 1) I'm too cheap and 2) more high maintenance with the roots.

My mom and I went to a consignment sale today and bought a mamaroo a bouncy seat, an excersaucer type deal as well as toys and clothes for DS for $150. I gave the big baby holders away when we moved. Then we went to buy food for tonight for "thanksgiving" with my parents. I'm ready for a nap now

Surprisingly productive day. DS wouldn’t fall asleep, but he entertained himself with books in his crib for about an hour so I got some cleaning done. Then my parents and sister came over and helped me paint swatches on my living room wall and pick out a paint color. Now DS is taking an actual nap, so I’m watching The Punisher show on Netflix. I could go over to my parents for dinner, but I don’t know if I have the energy. I might just throw something in the oven when DS wakes up and call it a night.

My MIL and I just made 8 casseroles and 4 meat loaves to freeze for when baby is born. I am really sore but I'm so happy to have those on hand. It was one of those "it would be nice but I doubt I'll do it" ideas

It was one of those "it would be nice but I doubt I'll do it" ideas Awesome! I did a ton of crock pot freezer meals before E was born and then also before I went back to work at the end of maternity leave and it was so helpful. Actually, the night I went into labor, I prepped a meatloaf for dinner the next day but put it in the freezer at like 10pm b/c I knew we wouldn't be home to cook it! As my due date gets closer, I'm planning on doubling some recipes to stash half in the freezer. Any good recipes to share?

I keep thinking I should prepare freezer foods too. I never did for my last two #lazy I have 3 family Christmas suppers planned for the weekend of Christmas, maybe I'll just have to scavenge all the leftovers and freeze it all 😜

It was one of those "it would be nice but I doubt I'll do it" ideas I need to start on this... Our church will deliver homemade meals every other day for 2 weeks and that will be a huge help but I would like some more ready to go. When we got the meals after we lost Ava they were so large that we ate off of each one for 2-3 meals and still put stuff in the freezer. I have two weeks off of work in December so I'll probably put some stuff together then.
