Wednesday MOTN Randoms

[ssmjlm]

My first nordstrom anniversary sale order was a bust. I placed a second order for different stuff, so hopefully something works out.

Still need a navy blazer.

Boo.

Our AC repair was <$200. I'm so relieved. And he finished so fast I got to take a nap before picking C up from daycare!

We cancelled C's 2 year pics. We decided it would be better to wait a few months so we can do them when it's not as hot and I am feeling better more consistently. I'm kind of bummed because I feel like they won't ever get done now with Disney coming up in November.

[ssmjlm]

I'm watching RHONY only bc I want to see the leg throw.

[zarapipe]

I'm glad to be in bed. I'm so tired and sore. It hurts to walk. I'm planning on being lazy at work tomorrow. My one goal in life right now is to wake up less than 5 times tonight to pee. Crossing my fingers for 3 times.

[zeewifeandmama]

Not great day. Already had one wake up. Please children take pity on me...sleep well!!!

[gogadgetgo]

Today is day 1 of 13 of DH's latest work trip. Thank goodness my sils are coming into town on Friday so I have someone else to entertain my kiddos.

No afternoon naps today so fingers crossed that bedtime goes well.

What is up, people. I am having a fabulous day. I bought 2 pairs of shoes at dsw (@hannymaren) and a momly bathing suit from Land's end. Ate at Sbarro, Outback, Starbucks, and got cheesecake from the factory. Lol.

These lime-a-ritas really are massive. Seriously, what is up with that?

I'm mostly dying inside at Sbarro. What flavor cheesecake did ya get?

[magpie]

It's the middle of the day here (and it's tomorrow!), but we are doing late-morning nap. It's going okay, considering the portable crib/strange place/opposite time zone. I mean, she's asleep (after a little crying) and that in itself is all that matters.

[rugbywife]

We took DD for a walk tonight to help her fall asleep. Wonderful, right up until we had to take her out of the stroller. Wide awake. FML. She is now in her bed, not quite crying, but I can hear her moving…oh, there she does, her first whimper. Blah.

happy you are having a good time @vicmo!

[pugz]

I would read a blog about @vicmo's adventures in America

[Brie]

My college memories taste like Sbarro. And raspberry vodka.

I got caught singing All of Me loudly while walking from my car to the hotel. 

It's a great song, you guys.

Have you been drinking the pink wine again? I like pink wine, @vicmo!

That was when I was sober. But now I have had a lime-a-rita (25 oz) and I'm on to a razz-ber-rita (only 8 oz).

Cheers!  :drink:  :beer:

I am not drinking and am heading to bed since I'm the mom of the incredible non-sleeping boy and I want to get at least an hour or so of sleep before he starts his every 2 hour wake ups. I look forward to reading drunk @vicmo posts in the morning!

[glitzy07]

Dammit, @vicmo, now I want cheesecake!

[statlerwaldorf]

Dh is watching the Lego movie again. Dd was in bed before he even turned it on.

[ladygrey]

I am loving all of @vicmo's American adventure posts lately.

DH has a super late 9pm softball game tonight and DD is already down for the night, so I am having a gin & tonic and watching OITNB.

[glitzy07]

Today was my first day not bringing my pump to work. I haven't pumped since last Monday, but I brought it with all last week just in case. It is so nice not feeling like a pack mule!

And another first, tonight I'm sleeping without a bra for the first time in a year. Livin' on the edge, right here.

GAH, I would kill to be you right now.

I've been debating pumping the last little bit of milk in my boob.

Hooray for sleeping without a bra! I keep forgetting that nursing is over and thinking about doing things as a nursing mother. Nope!

We're still nursing morning and night, but I haven't noticed leaking since I cut down on nursing sessions (except that I let down on both sides while nursing), so that's why I say I'm living on the edge. But man, I have definitely missed being braless! Here's hoping I don't wake up in a pool of milk!

[Deleted]

I spent the day touring nursing homes for DH's grandmother. She's developed dementia and insists that DH take over her affairs from FIL. Did I mention she lives 400 miles away? We're trying to move her into a facility here so we can monitor her care. So there's that, PLUS the new house, PLUS I'm pregnant. We are the most stressed and fucking poor we've been in our adult lives. I just keep chanting to myself "one more month. One more month."

[niq]

There is a pirate parade in my neighborhood. They're setting off cannons. Thankfully it should all end by 9 or 10.

jenny1980 did you guys go to the parade? We watched about the first half of it, V seemed to enjoy all of the sparkly outfits.

[catsarecute]

DD doesn't burp as much anymore during feedings but she has been farting a ton. I guess as long as it comes out one end or another, it is okay!

[lolo]

This weekend is shaping up to be amazing. DH is off on Friday and then I am going into the city to hang with one of my BFFs. Then we have a date on Saturday--I think we might go to the movies! I haven't been in at least two years. Then no plans on Sunday at the moment.

As for tonight--well, MDO had to call me to pick up J, who was a mess. I think it's teething but boy, it has been a doozy. And she had only one nap today which is really not her thing. She was adorable this evening though. Fingers crossed?

Oh there was a code brown when we were at the pool at the Disneyland Hotel this weekend. I immediately thought of this board.

There was a highly publicized "stool incident" at our local city pool a few weeks ago. Apparently someone jumped the fence overnight to poop in the pool!

@vicmo does the Lime-a-rita get you buzzed?  I have DD all day and night alone tomorrow and feel like should walk over to the Factory to kill some time.  This Lima-a-rita sounds like it might be worth it.  I came home from the stupid all-inclusive hotel in Mexico with ZERO buzz and almost want to be mad about it.  3 days away from DD and no enjoyment of adult beverages to show for it.  What a waste of a trip, except for the first day when I slept in until noon and didn't even realize it. 

I forgot to pay my credit cards on Saturday, July 12th because I was at my mom's house with DD for 3 days prior.  It was a super stressful environment over there that day so the fact that is was the 12th totally escaped my brain.  Of course I got hit with late fees and interest.  I am about to call and beg for mercy, except I feel stupid doing it because I also forgot to pay on time back on January 12th when I was in the newborn haze and woke up on the 13th convinced it was the 12th and sat in front of my laptop and cried when I found out it wasn't.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  

[shelbyann]

I had a writing workshop that ran late tonight and now my brain is still too wired to sleep, even after a glass of wine.

DD is asleep next to me in my bed. We have been bed sharing all week with my H traveling. I actually kind of love it. She sleeps so much better here with me.

[hermione]

We went to kids' concert at the zoo tonight. We met up with 2 of my friends from college and their spouses/kids. I haven't seen them in years. Between us there were 5 kids ranging in age from 8weeks -3 years. It was totally weird to be all together with KIDS. W-E-I-R-D, lol.

[daisycat]

I am hoping that da stays asleep for a while.

Never mind he's waking uP as I type.

I'm dreading tonight as I think I've got thrush and not in the mood for long feeds.

[lulu21]

Il trying to ignore this wake up. It's hard because he's in my room. He's doing the typical babbles, plays with his feet, feels his PJ's routine. He also rolls all around the pnp. There's never a cry,
It's just a lot of throaty noises.

[booboo173]

I was very hopeful after two nights of no wake ups but we are back up tonight. I hope it's a quick one
