Today is H's work Halloween event. They really get into it and have a huge party and ToT for families in the afternoon. I'm excited to dress up the kids.
I way overslept this morning...like almost an hour. So now, despite not having washed my hair since Monday, I didn't have time to do that. High bun it is!
I have another one- why do I buy Halloween candy any sooner than 5 minutes before ToT begins? I have eaten so much between last night and this morning I feel sick.
My mom is flying in tomorrow so I need to finish straightening up the house and make up her bed!
Major goal today is to avoid spit up. This reflux stuff sucks! We're down to nursing for 2-3 minutes, break, nurse 2 minutes. Repeat. That seems to keep it in check a bit.
Are you still dealing with oversupply and overactive letdown? I've been using a nipole shield that last week and it has really helped with her tummy issues I think....or the Zantac is finally kicking in, we will never know but she definatley is not drowning like she did without it
Maybe a bit twy sentra but does your two year old tell stories of dubious truth? Monday she told me her dcp "touched my eye. Eye hurts. " today she told me how yesterday a 6 year old was crying at daycare because he couldn't go outside. I don't believe either story to be true (I asked dcp and other child did not cry yesterday). She also often talks about me hurting her if she doesn't want to get dressed, etc. Like mama hurt my arm if I touch her when dressing her and she doesn't want to. Psychopath or normal?
Normal. I think at school they jusy don't get the whole story of what is happening and make up what is easiest for themselves to understand.
Back on the MFP wagon. I'm giving myself through the first of the year to see what happens. The pics from our mini session last night were a huge wake-up call. I just wish I could get DH to be more helpful. He's tall and skinny and can eat whatever, so it's hard when he's eating candy at 8pm.
I brought the baby into bed with me when she woke at 530 this morning because I was desperate for more sleep. I had been up consoling her gassiness from 330-430. She fell back asleep but proceeded to kick and punch me for the next hour in her sleep. So essentially my day started at 330. Ugh.
@starry, my 2-year-old tells me stories like that all the time. She always tells me that so-and-so from daycare "went home for some reason" very solemnly. The other day she told me that a girl from daycare is going to gymnastics with her.
My random: I need to transfer my insurance policy on my e-ring to my current state (where I've been living for 10 years...oops, I didn't really realize that this was an issue until they emailed me the other week and told me they were kicking me off of the old policy since I no longer reside in that state). I feel like this shouldn't be hard since it's just a different branch of State Farm, but I need to get a new appraisal and fill out paperwork, and ugh. Related question if anybody knows: do most people do this as an additional rider on their home owners insurance instead of a separate policy? I already had the personal articles policy when we bought the house, so I didn't look into it then. My home owners insurance company doesn't mention anything about this on their website, but maybe I should email them to find out.
@starry I vote normal. DS is 2.5 and often says "ow! Momma too rough" if I'm changing his diaper or washing his hair (neither of which he likes). He'll sometimes say his friends hit him, even though I was there the whole time and saw no hitting.
Instead of laying on the couch with my phone when DS got up at 530, I unloaded the dishwasher and packed my lunch. It's going to be a good day. Lol.
Update: Then I accidentally let DS smush raspberries into our cream colored carpet. I didn't see that he had anymore! H was raging. Luckily, they scrubbed up, but then I was late to work.

We are getting family pictures done Sunday. It is supposed to be in the 40s with 20/30 MPH wind gusts. This is the only day the photog can do it. I am not wearing a heavy shirt. BOO
water*drop, mine are on a rider on our homeowner's insurance. I never looked into getting a separate policy.
I am so tired. I got 4 hours of sleep Tuesday night because of a migraine, and last night DD was up, screaming at the top of her lungs, from 1:20 - 3:30. For no reason. She was dry, had motrin, and was laughing when I took her back to bed with me. (She promptly got returned to the crib.)
I woke up in the MOTN with a shooting pain/numbness in my right arm and it's still not gone. I'm not sure if I slept funny or what. Can I blame it on the baby?
C was up at 5:15 today just shouting words until we finally gave up and went in and got him. It was so random. "Shovel! Ghost! Football! Fifteen! Fifteen! Fifteen! Happy birthday!"
DD woke up at 6:15 which was too early. So we just let her stay in her crib to see if she's gonna settle down. At first she called "mommy mommy mommy" over and over. And then she switched to "potty potty potty". And finally "Boo boo! boo boo! boo boo!" She'll make a great negotiator. Any time I ask what she wants. She says "cookie! cookie!". Then I say "Mommy doesn't have any cookie". She switches to "chips! chips!" "mommy doesn't have any chips either". Note to self: never ask what she wants.
Got Jack into the last open spot in the pre-2's program! I get 4 hours a week of freedom starting in January! I'm so relieved. And I know about 80% of the kids in his class. He will have such a blast with them!
My husband just walked out the door and won't be back until Monday. I'm sad he's missing Halloween. Plus I hurt my back and I'm worried about dealing with My heavy kid alone all weekend.

This is a random of randomness.
So, growing up, my mom always told me that I'd had Chicken Pox twice. Once when I was a baby (it was a really mild case) then again in third grade, when everyone else in my class was getting it. That one was the one that "stuck".
Since becoming a parent, I've wondered if I didn't, in fact, have Chicken Pox when I was a baby, but it was HFM. In looking more closely at Chicken Pox, I really kind of think this is the case. There is no way to confirm my hypothesis, nor does it really matter because I DID have it when I was older. I just wonder...
I have the day to myself since there is no work for me today. Probably braving IKEA. Need to clean some, make dinner, get TB test read. For now I am still in bed
