We got Ryan's first real report card in the mail yesterday and he is doing great! He met every objective she listed, which is such a relief. I'm so proud of him. We struggle with his behavior at home sometimes so it's nice to know that we don't have to actively worry about how he is doing in school too.

DH took the kids to his parents for breakfast and I am enjoying a quiet, peaceful house. Bliss.

My recovery from getting my tonsils out is going much better than I expected. It's only been a day, but I hope it continues on this trend.

I arranged to send DS to his dad's for the weekend, it's made a huge difference not having to worry about him and it's nice a quiet.

I slept in until 10am today I kept thinking I was awake and getting up and then realize that what I was doing wasn't possible (like making multiple peanut butter sandwiches in bed) and would wake up, roll over and go back to sleep.

My mom just got here and is now playing outside with ds so I can shower and clean the house a bit for a play date this afternoon.

I had two glasses of cab while playing Cards Against Humanity last night (and I won again, I am unbeatable at that game, you've all been warned ) and I woke up with a headache. How is this even possible?! DH let me sleep in till 9 which was amazing. And he made eggs and cleaned the kitchen. He's winning today.

We have a birthday party for a little girl in DD's dance class at 1. Going to try and maybe get my maternity clothes binned up and out of our bedroom this morning. It's rainy and I secretly love it. Plus, it kinda feels like spring. I am so ready for flowers and warm air.

[mdana]

H made so much noise in his sleep last night and I slept so poorly. He told me to sleep in but I think my internal clock has adjusted and I couldn't sleep past 7.

MIL texted me this morning after almost 3 months of no contact with "I want to seeeeeeeee him" and I haven't answered because I don't want to talk to her. I told H to do something but he doesn't want to talk to her either. Sigh.

[badtzmaru22]

My sinuses have decided it's spring. It might not look like it outside, but my sore throat and drippy nose say otherwise.

[teatimefor2]

H woke up in a great mood, DH got up with him and let me sleep in. I made yummy berry oatmeal bake for breakfast and DH took H to the park. I'm doing some banking and chores in peace whilst sipping coffee.

When I was in HS, one of my BFF made a bet that we wouldn't be friends at 30. He really wanted to leave our town behind and explore the world. I told him that we would be; we made a bet. So when we were 16/17 he bet that if we were friends at 30 that he would take me out to a nice dinner. Fast forward 15 years and we live in the same building in NYC. We are going out for a big dinner tonight and I'm so excited. I love getting dressed up and to make it MM - he's paying! 17 year old me knew I would be right!

[loskadoodle]

We are "on vacation". A couple hours from home at my in laws condo on the beach. My parents live about an hour away and came up yesterday and took Ds home until tomorrow. It is bliss.

The weather is terrible though and we have been in jeans and sweatshirts the whole time.

Vent: my just about 8 mo old is super squirmy and I have to fight with him to drink his bottle. I am scared that his DCPs wont have the time to fight with him and he won't eat enough.

DS only likes watermelon at room temperature.
(Like when I come Home from the store and cut it up) he won't eat it cold.

E was a ball of fun at swim class this morning. She was having a blast splashing and dunking under the water.

I'm now waiting for a massage DH got me for valentines day.

[magpie]

It's beautiful out today! Going to take the jogging stroller out for a run...

Also, I'm on Spring Break. No work for a week!!!

Sounds like my mil. She will text every few weeks asking for pictures- no asking how DD is doing, just demands pictures. Last time I ignored her for a week, then sent her one. Just one.

[scribellesam]

Off to my friends' AW-y giant gender reveal party today and feeling pretty snarky about it. "Yaaayy! What genitals does your fetus have?! I am so invested!!"

At least there will be cake.

[cinco]

I ran 22 miles this morning and my kids were delightful the entire time I was gone. DH ran for 20 minutes and they have been fighting like cats and dogs. WHY? I am letting the 2 older ones ultimate fighter it out.

Are you starting to taper for a race? If so, which one? 

YES! Taper time! I'm running Boston this year.

I'm annoyed at my H's job right now. He had to go to a BS team-building "retreat" on Thursday and Friday so he lost two days of billables and now he'll be at the office all weekend to make up for it.

I have a cold and do not feel like chasing Toddlerzilla around solo. Maybe we'll watch a Disney movie this afternoon.

[bunch]

Dh is on his first outing with both kids alone. They're at a brick making thing at the local university. In the rain. And then they're going out to lunch. I can't wait to hear alllll about it

[mdana]

My dad arrived at our house this morning with a chainsaw and asked if he could cut down our Bradford pear tree. We've been wanting to get that done for a while, but he's just so weird. He and H had a good time though, so that was nice, and N napped the entire time so I could work on some sewing.

I'm going to need to pull out 9m clothes and start washing them. OMG how did this happen?? He's only 3 months old.

I felt like this earlier this week when I had to start washing 6 month clothes for DD, who is only 7 weeks old. I can't believe how big she's getting so quickly!

[pugz]

So I went to a car seat check up event this morning after dropping dh and DD off at the Y for their swimming lesson. I'd heard about the event in my meetup group and also confirmed the details on the safe kids website. I show up and they are all "where is your child??!" and I'm like "uhhh, at swimming lessons.." "well we can't check your carseat without her here! you should go get her!" At which point I'm like, hold up bitches, the website did not say that, and this is some bullshit.

I told them no I was not going to go get her or come back later with her, and that I know her height and weight and that she is in the appropriate seat for her size. Then they started saying "Well we have to check the height of the harness" and I told them I knew it had to be at or below her shoulders and that is IS. At that point I think they realized that I actually know a bit about carseat safety and agreed to check my install for me. However they then proceeded to ask me her height and weight FIVE TIMES, as if they didn't believe me.

FFS I respect the work that CPSTs do but way to put me on the defensive from the first moment. I get that they know a lot but I definitely got the impression from this particular one that she got off from talking down to parents about how little they know about carseat safety. It was like being inside the carseat for the little group.

I slept in until 9:30! I was shocked since I haven't been great at sleeping in so far this pregnancy.
My brother and SIL are pregnant too, which is hilarious and exciting. They changed her due date yesterday to 3 days after mine. Babies everywhere!
I'm really excited to go to Vegas. I'm sad I can't take advantage of the open bar, but dammit I can eat. And I plan to.

If I made this bet, I would make sure to call him every couple of months and be like, "Hey buddy!" whether he liked it or not. lol.

[Willis Jackson]

Whenever DD wants my undivided attention, she says she has to go potty.

Lies lies lies.

[browneyedgirl9]

Going on a date with my husband tonight. I'm looking forward to using a nice purse again and not my diaper bag...it's the little things in life!

[Deleted]

We're having a photo session tomorrow. It was supposed to be a newborn session but delayed because of dd's health issues. I am so excited!! I'm not sure if she's going through her 6 week growth spurt though. She's either sleeping or crying with me but will stay calm for my h. I was putting her baby leggings on this morning and singing "She's a maniac. She's a maniac!" And she just stared at me and took a massive poop. It was hilarious..lol

[lolo]

90 minutes until our sitter arrives! I have that apprehensive feeling like before the first day of school.

Confession: If DH doesn't knock off his attitude, I'll wish I'd done this by myself!

[Deleted]

I'm making C take another nap even though she just woke up from one an hour ago. It was too short and she was fussy after her bottle. No, baby, just no. When she wakes up we'll go to Target and maybe the mall. Yay for unexpected Saturdays off.

[Birdie]

I just gave DS his second bath, this time with the Puj tub I got on clearance at Target. It didn't go well. I think I got as wet as he did. Back to the big blue tub.
