MH and I are going out to dinner sans kids tonight. Fancy food! Wine flights! I can't wait.
Also, T had a high fever yesterday, but this morning the fever is gone and he's back to his chipper self. AND everyone slept until 7am this morning. It's going to be a good day.

Dh left at 4am to go duck hunting. He was super quiet but still woke E up.
We are at my parents' house in the country and they are firing tobacco. I'm pretty sure that is one of the best smells in the world! I miss living in the country!!

A had us up at 6:30 asking to go to school.
We are now at the restaurant and I realize the clothes I put him in are too small. It's been so long since we've bought him anything that I fear we are going to have to drop a load on a new mini wardrobe.
We're just about to go get dressed and head out to the fall fair in town.
H is taking Owen to his BFF's moms birthday party tonight and I'm getting together with my girlfriends from university. The girl who's house we're going to just moved into her first house, and she's Italian so I made her Limoncello as a house warming gift. I had a tiny sip yesterday and omg it's delicious.
It's rainy and gloomy out today. I have no idea what we are going to do today. H wants to clean, he's so annoying about that.
Right now we are watching YouTube and it's weird. It just shows a persons hand unwrapping play dough shaped eggs and inside there is a small toy. Lillian found it and I have no idea why this even exists.

You can keep the tobacco, I prefer the chocolate smell from the Mars factory.
We're going to the skate park this morning then the National Building Museum, then our neighbor's second birthday party after nap. DH offered to take K on his own (we're meeting friends at the park/museum), and I really should let him so I can do stuff around the house. But since I work from home, when the weekend comes I'm like GET ME OUTTA HERE. One more reason why nothing ever gets done around the house. Meh, I'll probably have better memories of the Building Museum than of organizing the basement.

I slept in this morning and DH was with the kids downstairs for like 1.5-2 hours. He just came up here and was like, "I honestly don't know how you do it every day......" Lol, thanks, I don't know how either. They are lucky that they are incredibly cute
I may be a horrible mom, but I don't want to go to Little Gym today. My football game starts at noon and her class is at 12:30. She's getting over being sick, so maybe it's best if we don't go. Right?
That respiratory illness has hit Boston and I'm very unhappy about that.
My house was FREEZING this morning. I got the kids totally bundled up for H's soccer game - turns out my house was about 15 degrees colder than outside and it's actually pretty nice out. This does not bode well for our winter heating.
I assembled this monstrosity on my own. Which for many of you is no biggie, but for the most unhandy, idiot with these things person alive, this was a big deal. #singlemomwin

Today was my morning to sleep in but I have this awful cold that had me up way early. Christian slept until 8:30 which isn't like him. DH is with him now and I'm just laying in bed. I have a hair appointment soon so I probably should get up.

Us too. Our thermostat said 52 this morning! I was freezing.
L has SSTN 4 nights in a row, this is unheard of for her. Plus she came in with us at 6:45 and we all slept till 9!!! This is also unheard of.
I know I always bring this up but I'm still having mouse issues at work. They just said this week they are going to try and help figure out why they are coming in my classroom (finally). I Clorox wipe my whole desk area daily. I came back from lunch yesterday and there was a dead squished one in a trap right near my desk and shelf. It triggered a full blown panic attack. It was terrible. My husband wants to get a lawyer. I don't know what to do at all, I just got a dr note to give them. I don't even want to tell you about the kids lockers.
I'm getting C up soon to get her ready to go see the parade in town this morning. They're having the Budweiser Clydesdale and I think she'll love seeing them. I've seen them before because I used to work at the amusement park where they're stabled during the summer, but they're gorgeous horses and seeing them again will be cool.
They have those at the Fair here every year. They are so pretty!

Is limoncello hard to make? That's a cool gift idea. It's so yummy, especially a little on vanilla ice cream or berries.

Could you talk to your union about the issue? It seems like a health safety issue, maybe? I would be really upset about mice in my classroom, too.

I am working closely with my union rep and he said he can contact our attorney if this isn't resolved soon. It is such a health issue and it's been going on for a while. It's hard working in a really small school because you don't have many people to help you. One of my students found droppings in her lunch bag the other day! How do they ignore that!? Ugh. I just want to do my job and my worry about this.
We are on our way to a consignment sale and L is in the back reading a book. A song came on that I liked so I turned it up. L looked up from his book and said, "QUIET!" He repeated it like 10 times before I finally turned it down, and then he looked back down at his book and continued reading. 2 going on 80 here, apparently.
That is adorable! Aro tells us to stop singing when we driv because he can't hear the music, lol.

Thinking about killing my husband. We came downstairs to have breakfast as a family, just cereal. As typical, I first made sure Lauren got settled with her cereal while dh got his. As he poured his milk, he knew that there wasn't enough 1% left for both of us, but there was plenty of whole milk. He also knows I don't like whole milk. Instead of saving what was left of the 1% for me, he poured it for himself. So now I have no cereal to eat, and hE even ended up pouring more whole milk into his cereal instead of offering to switch me bowls so that I could still have some.

It was really really easy. Once I'm on the laptop I'll bump the thread with the recipe and tag you.
