Pretty good. It's day 4 (of 10) of solo parenting.
Went to Target, pet store and Kohl's this morning. DD took a short nap but I was able to nap too. I've washed and folded 2 loads of laundry and now we're watching Frozen. DH bought it and had it arrive yesterday in the mail because I had mentioned to him how I want to see it. So it's both DD's and my first times seeing it.
Pretty good, I grocery shopped alone and made applesauce muffins.
We are potty training and Ds is freaking out over it this afternoon. I think he has to go but doesn't want to sit? I don't know. I offered a diaper and he cried and said no to that too.
I'm going to make chicken pot pie for dinner and am really excited about it.

Bad: My toddler is a whiny obnoxious mess and I am sore as hell.
Good: We had fun putting up Halloween decorations and going for a walk. And I have Cinnamon Apple Bread that someone posted the other day, in the oven.
Good: We went to an apple orchard that had a bunch of kid stuff and then had a long lunch. The kids were great. It was awesome.
Bad: My kids have had a busy couple days (sooo fuunnn!) and they just won't settle. I just want to veg on the couch and they want to play play play. Which is a good skill to have but settle down...lol. They're getting crabby though so I'm planning 6pm for them..haha. And they had a late lunch in which they ate great, so popsicles for dinner.

Ok?
Woke up way too early at a water park with an overtired, way over sugared toddler. Grandpa was stuffing his pockets full of candy and giving the kids bags of M&ms etc despite me asking him to please stop, especially before dinner.
I'm done with ILs for a little bit and always need time to decompress from them, which usually means I need a break from my H too.
I still need to go to the store if we Pam on eating dinner, grrr.

DD and I have played Operation, Connect Four, Candyland, Zingo, and Jenga... all multiple times. She is organizing Battleship now. On the upside, I can watch football while we play. Even so, I'm over board games right now.

Good: went to a fun petting farm birthday party, H came home from being away this weekend. DD didn't nap, but had quiet time so I got a break and she goes to bed early!

The kids and I had a great day! We went to the farmers' market, and then the Baltimore Book Festival. They were pleasant and goofy. It was really enjoyable.

Good: H took DS to the ILs for dinner and I took a nap.
Bad: When I went to take DS out of the car seat after they got home, I saw that the straps were super loose and the crotch strap was twisted. Apparently FIL buckled him in and my H didn't check it. Ugh. Last week the ILs took DS to SIL's house, so he probably wasn't buckled in properly then either. We're going to have to talk to the ILs before they can take him anywhere again.
Good: Spenfing the day at my aunts prepping for my interview tomorrow. I got to starting in the bed last night and slept for 9.5 hours! (My flight landed at midnight)
Bad: I just tried to take a nap and failed because I'm so excited about my interview tomorrow . Lame!
We are driving back from a wedding. It was HOT and I ate and drank too much. I invited a friend who is in town for the wedding to join me at yoga tonight, and I hope he takes me up on it so I'll be motivated to go. Otherwise I sort of see myself just parking on the couch with a beer beginning at 5.

Good: just went on a fun walk and to the park with m and he has a blast. Got a good workout in while H watched football which meant the gym was empty too because I guess everyone else was watching football too. Oh and the steelers won!
Bad: Dealing with some work stuff all weekend and it has been draining and tiresome.
Bad: dh has a man cold. He us laying in bed now. He has been sick for over a week. Has time for all the stuff he wants to do like invite people over to boat, go to a party and drink beer and go to a football game today but now apparently he is dying. I lack empathy in general but really am lacking it now.
Also the Jets lost.
Good:dd is having a good day. She hung out with the neighbor and now is mixing 20 colors of play dough together happily.
Good: I took DS to church, which was nice, and the three of us had a nice lunch out.
Bad: All three of us have bad colds/coughs and I am so over it. We are very lucky that j is handling it best of the three of us. Also I feel like I'd need two straight days of just cleaning to get my house back in order. It is a disaster.
I went to church this morning but I find it hard to enjoy these days because there are so many babies and baptisms and pregnant ladies. I think H finally gets it though and will stop guilting me into going when I say I don't feel like it (like I did this morning).
we went out to lunch after and I went to Target and knocked some things off my to-do list. Still working on cleaning which seems futile because DD keeps making messes while we clean.
converted her crib to a toddler bed today, we are no longer #crib4lyfe :*( It was time. She wasn't climbing out of it at all but she wants to play in her bed and get in and out as she pleases.
Good: since DH got to sleep in, I got a 2 hour nap.
Bad: DS is still sick, and his sickness routine is EXHAUSTING. Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Oral steroids, nebulizer, preventative inhaler, and humidifier. All at different times of day, almost all require cleaning and maintenance of some kind. It's soooo time-consuming.
