DS1 just saw the aspca commercial and was asking why the doggie was so sad. DH said because he did not have a home. Then DS1 replied "but he is inside." I have no response!

So after buying a minivan on Saturday I had some buyers remorse that I let DH and the sales guys convince me I didn't need the package with a smart key, navigation, etc. They didn't have one in stock so I just accepted it but had a mini pity party later that I didn't get exactly what I wanted. (Pathetic, I know!)
Welll, DH contacted the sales guy and they are making it happen! They are letting me exchange for the exact same thing with the extra package and just pay the difference in price. They are even bringing the van and papers to our house since we are far away. I'm feeling a bit spoiled! Oh well!

I had a rough night with DD. She dumped her whole plate of food when she was done eating, and was spreading it all around. She wasn't listening so I raised my voice and told her time out. I moved her chair away from the table while I cleaned up. She sat there silently looking at me with sad eyes.
Then she was enjoying videos on my phone and somehow got onto my work calendar and I was afraid she'd move a meeting. I told her to give the phone and she wouldn't so I abruptly jumped up with her and ripped the phone from her hand. She wailed. I still feel bad about how I handled it.

I hate that newborn naps are so unpredictable. I laid down when DD went to sleep this morning and got about 45 mins of sleep before she woke up again.
Then she woke up and I fed her and she was barely awake again before going down again and she slept for almost 2 hours! Of course, I used that time to eat lunch and clean up a bit.
Then she woke up to eat and went right back down for another hour nap. Which I tried to lay down, but couldn't sleep. Grrr.

Boo, dd had another "stormy" day at daycare today it is breaking my heart that this transition is rough and (selfishly, pridefully) that she's not showing them her true awesome self.

I don't know what's wrong with DS today. He's normally fussy, but is ok as long as I'm holding him. Today he's been full-on crying and working himself up so much that he's sweating, even while being held. He's not running a fever. I hope he's ok.
Is there something that happens around three months that would cause this?
omfg I just busted DD2 with an opened Sharpie poised RIGHT ABOVE the couch. I think I flew across the room like a superhero to snatch it out of her hand.

I feel you. DD is not her awesomest these days with the transition. It's tough. At least we drank together?
You saw her real personality! So why is she this defiant trouble making asshole at school??

I feel like I have been traveling all year. So many side trips here and there and everywhere. I am exhausted from it all. And I have two more weekend trips next month. At least one of them will be kid-free so that'll be fun.
I think I am going to surprise H with a new stereo in our truck. The mechanic has to come and fix it anyway and he offered to trade the current stereo for labor. H would be so happy.

I have a Popples I got when I was two. I gave it to A and she hadn't really shown a ton of interest. And then tonight we were downstairs and she picked it up and said, "Momma, bear night night?", which is what she says when she wants to take something to bed with her. I was so excited, I didn't even care that she called it a bear. lol
Then H was all, "Don't you think you have enough stuffed animals in bed?" NO, SHE CAN HAVE IT IF SHE WANTS, H, DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME. I may have threatened to shank him if he didn't leave her alone about it. Oops.
P is seriously the sweetest baby. He has the best disposition. I picked him up at DC today and he was just sitting there giggling at himself in front of a mirror. I seriously should rent him out to people who are sad for cuddles and cheek noms.

Ugghhhhhh longest day ever. I had a billion errands to run today all over town with a baby who hates the car seat. Once we were done with the errands it was time to pick DS up and then off to soccer practice, then once we were home he had to read to us for homework. I am on noise and touch overload.
We got home and DD had managed to stay asleep from me wearing her at practice to the car seat. She was on the floor and the dog went and licked her face and woke her up.
I am so over today. I need wine and adult television time.
Mom/SD are having a Carnival Party for kid including 2 food trucks, rides, entertainers, booze for parents, siblings invited, etc at their house
Dad/SM are having a costume party for same kid which we got invited to after SM told me they are taking kid out of town to the balloon fiesta for her birthday.
So 2 big parties plus a trip OOT for turning 9yrs old.

I let ds1 eat bread and butter for supper because we were having chili and *I* wanted buttered bread with my bowl and couldn't stand the idea of having to share it and also wolf it down in 0.4 seconds so he wouldn't beg for more. I was very happy to enjoy my meal with my entire slice of bread for once. Usually I just skip bread or crackers with soup now because I don't want that crap seen by Mr Pickypants
Got a text from daycare around 2:45 that DD was sick and needed to be picked up. When I got there at 3:00 she had just puked and had a 103.6 fever. She puked more at home but was able to hold down Tylenol and chugged a ton of pedialyte. By 5:30 she was raring to go. I gave her Mac and cheese and a little bit of chicken and she ate a decent amount and played until bedtime. Fever was down and she looked so much better. I have to stay home with her tomorrow but hopefully she will be able to go back to daycare Wednesday.
I got a facial on Friday and it was wonderful. I'd never had one had had no idea what it was all about. She did a hand and arm massage while stuff was working on my face. My skin is kind of oily so I never paid much attention to moisturizer but apparently my skin was dehydrated and looks soooo much better with a decent amount of moisture in it. I bought one of the products she suggested and ordered more on Amazon. It's expensive but I feel like I look so much better already and it's worth it.
I tried out our once upon a child and was bummed. Carters pjs we're going for $7. I can get them on sale for that and they are NEW.
Plus I was standing in a very clear line and two women asked if I was next. I told them yes and pointed where the line began at (4 people behind me) and they just stood there off to the side of the line. When they called for the next in line they dashed to the counter. Bitches. I felt worse for the lady behind me who was only there because her son threw his flip flops out the car window. They were only buying one pair of sandals and had to wait forever.
