I poured bailey's on my ice cream because I can! Aaaahhhhhhh alcohol! I've missed you.
I'm about to wake up a sleeping baby to nurse so I can go to bed before 9pm. It's been a pretty easy day, and I got a decent sleep last night, but man am I beat. Hopefully ds2 will be kind tonight. He's been awfully sleepy today which doesn't bode well.

An old lady stopped to admire DS2 in the produce section of the grocery store today. How old is he, is he your first, bless your heart, etc etc. When we ran into her in the frozen section we had the same conversation all over again because she had forgotten that she already met us 15 minutes before.

Trying to figure out how to break up with our babysitter. She is sooo amazing and cheap, but she can only watch him two days a week, and even with my part-time schedule, I still need at least one more day (I didn't know I would until we had already asked her to watch him again this year).
You guys, I have a man cold. Wah! My throat is so scratchy, and my nose is all congested and I think I might die! Even if I wasn't nursing I couldn't take any of the good stuff (damn thyroid), so instead I just deferred to H on bedtime by nursing and then doing the hand off. This is the first time I've been pretty sick since C was born, and it is the suck.
E has been very trying this weekend. She wants to be independent, but needs help. And the minimal words doesn't help.
I think I'm going to have to call the pedi about her eczema, but I don't want to have to go in. If she would have looked at it more at the last appt we probably wouldn't be at this point. I've tried everything and even had my mom send me dream cream.
Today was a grest and smooth day. Dd was in a great mood, no tantrums, dh worked shorter hours and we all sat down to dinner together. Then she went to bed very easily. Why can't they all be like this?

L and I are on vacation with H's family. He is home working on the house. L's sleep has gone to crap here- I'm guessing it's a combo of pack n play vs his crib, new place, sharing a room with me, lots of people, etc. But it is miserable. He won't go to bed at night even though he usually will go to sleep after being dumped in the crib. Naps are always crap, but it blows here because I want to sit and have a drink and a break, but I have to go lay with him. Since H isn't here I don't even get a little reprieve. No ILs want to soothe a screaming baby, not that he would let them.
I think I am just exhausted of having the baby rely solely on me and not having backup because H is always either at work or working on the house. Have I said enough that I really can't wait until our house is done?

HFM can kiss my ass. DD's sleep has been shit this weekend and she is now in my bed tossing and turning so I'm laying here too instead of drinking wine and watching tv like I planned for tonight.
I'm really enjoying watching a trainwreck gender reveal party on my newsfeed.
First of all--the parents know. They found out several weeks ago and were all "we know but we're not telling!" Then when people stopped caring they started planning this insane party. Second of all--the mom posted links to their registry a week ago, which clearly has a ton of boy stuff on it (like not just blue, but "Mommy's little man" onesies and stuff. Someone was like, "yay, a boy!" and she flipped out and deleted it. Third--they have gender reveal cake, cupcakes, AND a piƱata. BUT THEY ALREADY KNOW. The girl's mom posted a bunch of pics of the party but not of "the big reveal" yet. Oh, and they were together for about 3 months before she got KU, and her divorce from her XH wasn't final yet.
Everyone there just looks embarrassed for them. It's awesome.
I really should be going to bed but I'm thinking I need to watch at least the beginning of the saved by the bell movie. I know full well I will regret this decision at work tomorrow
I have a potentially offensive question to SAHMs of just one toddler. Do you have to get out all the time, or do you really enjoy toddler play? I decided not to go out with J today because I didn't want to spend money and hadn't made plans with friends (I had her from her nap through bedtime alone). It was fine, she was is a pretty great mood and it was nice but it was pretty boring, lol.
Jack goes insane (and honesty I go insane) if we're cooped up indoors alone all day. We're in a one bedroom, so he needs to go out and run around. We have at least park/playground trip a day, or I take him to music/gym class or open play at our local (expensive) kids gym. I'm a much better parent in public, lol. Rainy days, we camp out in our buildings playroom and hang out with all the other kids in the building.

We ended up having a really nice day. AJ slept in, we got to play for a bit while J slept in, we went on a walk, he (AJ) took a nice nap, I got to grocery shop by myself, and we had fun playing and having dinner just the three of us. Full days off together don't happen as often as neither J nor I would like so we relish them when they do happen. (though we do have a handful of days off together this month, J writes the manager schedule and knew I would flip my shit if we had another month of 1-2 days off together like we did last month)
We had a scary fever spike earlier and I was planning on waking B up at 10 to give him more medicine but he woke up at 7:30 and played with us for an hour. He seems a lot better and his fever is down to 101 but now I don't know what to do. He's never had a high fever and DH was going on and on (erroneously as it turns out) about brain damage. WWMMMD? Wake to redoes or let him sleep?
DH was super sweet today. DS napped 3 hours (!!!) and I got to nap too. DH got DS up from his nap and played together outside for another hour, so I got a super long nap. I wasn't feeling well, so DH cooked dinner while DS and I played trucks. Then DH gave him a bath, and I put DS to bed. Now DH and are cuddling on the couch with a pot of tea. What a nice evening!
got the last two pieces of DD's Daniel Tiger costume today, a red hoodie and some red chuck taylors, whee! Just need to iron on the trolley patch and it's done.

Both. We go out at least 3-4 days a week, to play dates or splash pad or library story time etc. So on the days we stay in, it's not too boring b/c it's been a few days since I was forced to play trucks for the zillion time.
ETA: we go out from after breakfast to nap time (so like 9:30-1). He usually naps 2-4. We don't go out after nap b/c the evening whirlwind takes up the whole night (make dinner, eat, clean up, bath, books, bedtime).
We are at my husband's relative's house in the Chicago burbs. This is the biggest house DD has ever been in and its her first time sleeping in a PNP. We hauled it downstairs where we are all hanging out since we don't own a monitor. Luckily her sleep has been ok despite us dragging her around and having a different bed every few nights.

I would let him sleep and re-dose when/if he wakes up.
From my experience, M was inconsolable when he spiked a super high fever, to the point that NOTHING, except the fever going down, would calm him.

We finally booked our hotel for the last leg of our trip and I am stoked. We splurged for an ocean front hotel, with an ocean view room. It has a heated rooftop pool, and a pretty sweet looking spa. 11 more days!
