Contractions yesterday night turned out to be a false alarm. They were so tricky because they weren't really painful, but were consistently 45 seconds long and 4:45min apart.
Glad I decided to try to sleep through them rather than go in to get checked out. That would have been an enormous waste of a night.

We have to go to our community's Memorial Day parade, and then Ella's t-ball game. Hoping to get Kate down for an early nap because she skipped one the past two days...she was an absolute beast!
Usually I'm okay with going back to work after the weekend, but for some reason I'm dreading it. No particular reason why.
I'm totally ready to move. No matter how many times I clean up my house, it still feels chaotic. I just want a closing date already.
I'm hanging out with the little who is a rolling ninja and just decided it would be fun to try and inch worm/ army crawl. I'm not ready for a mobile baby yet!
My kids would not go to sleep last night, it was bizarre because they had been running around for hours yet we fought them from 839-10 when they finally crashed
I yelled at Matilda and I feel bad now for losing my cool.
Of course William still was up at 630 for the day. Matilda at least is still asleep
We need a house with bedrooms on a separate floor from the living space. Sleeping in is impossible. Why doesn't my H just take them down to the playroom so I can sleep? I swear he lets them play right outside the bedroom door.
My child joined us in bed at 3 am and didn't go back to sleep until 5. Then be woke at 7 and is a crazy guy, so I can't even sleep in. Thank god I don't have to work today.
We had big plans today to be out the door by 8 because our cleaning lady was coming - breakfast out, then various activities. She texted at 6 AM to reschedule to later in the week so now all has gone out the window. We are all laying on the beanbag in the playroom watching Bubble Guppies. We need to find some motivation so we don't waste this beautiful day
Owen has an eye doctors appointment at 8:30, 20 mins away. It's 7:45 and he's not up yet. Ugh.
I submitted our family yesterday to be extras in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. They were looking for a mom with two young kids and a double stroller. From what I understand the talent agent submitted 4 families to the casting director. We'll find out later today, filming is tomorrow!
raynes - that would be so exciting! How did you find out about it?
My friend is coming over with her two little girls this morning for a play date. Madison is excited and it's so cute. This is one of my best friends since grade 7. When I see them play together, I feel pretty emotional. It's the next generation!

I'm doing a ton of laundry and trying to get this house tidy. I did the bathrooms on Friday and tidied the spare room. I told DH I would let him sleep in today if he fed C, gave him a bath and put him to bed last night. I was exhausted from the circus and went to bed early. I feel it was a fair offer.
The laundry room is my enemy lately. We keep the litter box in there and the site of it makes me ill. We even had to change litter brands because I could constantly smell it no matter how clean it was.

Last night was the first night we tried Jack sleeping in underwear.
He's been fully potty trained for several months but I've still been putting him in a diaper at night just in case even though he always wakes up dry.
We bought some of those Good Nights bed pads to put under his sheet just in case and, lo and behold, he woke up dry. I was so excited and he was kind of like "I don't pee at night mom... what's the big deal?" lol.
Our complex's pool opened this weekend and Abby's hounding us about when we can go swimming. We had told her we'd go this afternoon, but apparently that's not good enough for her. I don't mind the idea of swimming, but it's such a hassle. Sunscreen, get changed, gather towels, walk over, get accustomed to the cold water, then...stand there in the water for about 30 minutes. Fun times.

I've got to stop shopping online at night. Or I need an app that blocks the J&J fb groups, Amazon, and ebay between the hours of 11pm-6am.
In the last week I've bought a J&J dress that will not be worn for 2, possibly 3, years; a Pottery Barn stocking that was discontinued but I HAD to have because H, Jack, and I all have Fair Isle Christmas stockings and I can't stand the fact that Juliet's might not fit in; a bunch of random things on Amazon; clothes from Old Navy that I won't be able to wear until well after I deliver this baby and shoes.
We need a house with bedrooms on a separate floor from the living space. Sleeping in is impossible. Why doesn't my H just take them down to the playroom so I can sleep? I swear he lets them play right outside the bedroom door.
Story of my life. My apt is just too small for me to sleep in. It is the worst.
I have super cute Bermuda shorts with white polka dots. They're maternity. I'm pretty sure they would still fit anyway. Is it shameful to wear them?? I don't NEED to but... They're just really cute!

We just had cinnabons (and a donut for Pey since she is weird and doesn't like cinnamon rolls...) for breakfast. I have a love hate relationship with the fact the only thing on our exit is a gas station. Haha.

We just got home from the Memorial Day parade. Thank goodness we have back up sensors on our Jeep. We loaded the kids up, and started to go when they beeped. We forgot to pack up our stroller. That could have ended horribly! Ha.
Eta: I feel like I should further clarify that the stroller was empty and both kids were in the car, lol.
Well, we made it on time to the eye doctors somehow. Owen is still slightly far sighted, but colorblindness is still up for debate. He did well on 2/4 of the cards for that test.
And, whomp whomp, no movie for us. They apparently went with someone else all together.
rxbeth, I heard about it through an off-shoot group of one of the insane Toronto parent FB groups.
We're heading to a fancy bbq at noon that dh's mentor is throwing at the country club. I really hope A behaves because we're going to be late to nap and lately she's been a mess. Eek. I hope she doesn't embarrass me. We're bringing two cars just in case I need to leave extra early.
Eta. While we're at the bbq, the storms are supposed to roll in and be pretty bad. I hope it doesn't get too bad and flood the roads again.
William appears to be favoring one of his legs walking just the past couple days. It seems his left leg is weak. It's so hard because he walks funny anyway, but I'm not imagining it, h noticed too but says it's not a big deal because he's happy and it's barely noticeable. I've been trying not to obsess.
My SBIL, his girlfriend, and her three kids are all leaving town today. That means Andrew and I will have the condo all to ourselves again and things will be calm and quiet. Two more days until NYC! I'm also taking myself out to a nice dinner tomorrow night. Since my flight is at 6:00am on Wednesday, I'm leaving Andrew at the ILs tomorrow night. I'm going to drop him off, then go sit peacefully by myself, eating food that Andrew doesn't like. I can't wait.
