Man we have a lot of random things to say today, the afternoon randoms thread is 5 pages!
DH is supposed to fly home from his 3-day business trip tonight. I booked him WEEKS ago to watch DS tomorrow morning so I could go to the semi-annual kids consignment sale ALONE. I love shopping this sale, I get so much good stuff. I've really been looking forward to going. And, of course, DH's flight is delayed, it's supposed to leave at 10pm. Even if the flight leaves then and doesn't get cancelled altogether, that puts DH home at 3am. So I think I'm humped for my shopping trip
My H is pissing me off. I'm exhausted because he passed his cold to me and DS has been sleeping like crap. But he's the one complaining about what a rough week he had and how tired he is. Yet he managed to go to the gym this afternoon. And when I said I was tired, he said that I didn't seem too sick. Maybe because I don't lie around moaning and groaning like he does?
Also, I put some frozen French fries in the oven for dinner, but I'm trying to get DS down because he's a cranky mess, so I told him to check on the fries and take them out if they're done. He's yelling at me from downstairs and is all annoyed because he doesn't know how to tell if they're done. Seriously? Are you really that incompetent that you can't tell if French fries are done?

I was singing with my kindergarten kids this afternoon and was taking requests. Somewhere in between "Wheels on the Bus", and "Twinkle, Twinkle" I had a kid request Twisted Sister. Unfortunately I don't think I know any of their songs!
ETA: I just googled and I do know some of their songs! Next week we will sing " I wanna Rock"!
The IL's are taking the boys all day tomorrow. I keep coming up with all these ambitious plans of things I can get done tomorrow. But in reality I know I won't get that much done with a newborn in the house. I am determined to get at least one nap in when the baby naps.
DH is helping a friend move, so I think it'll just be me and DD for most of the day.
I successfully took a solo trip with DD that wasn't just the grocery store down the street! We went to target, Starbucks, and carters (all in the same building but who cares!).
DD also had her nighttime melt down earlier than usual so I think I'm going to go to bed at 8 tonight. Crazy Friday night at the preppy house!!

DH had gotten the green light on a proposal to create a new project he has been working on most of the year. I'm so proud of him. Finally some good news after a lot of bad news!
Still in the car, in traffic, on the way to the wedding rehearsal. Which started 30 minutes ago so we will probably miss the whole thing. Not good since DS is the ring bearer and will be freaking out tomorrow since the wedding is in a big cathedral. Awesome.
We've been in the car for two hours and have gone 16 miles.
It's official. We completely missed the rehearsal. My mom just texted me that we should just go to the restaurant. Fucking great. I feel terrible and just want to cry.
@supergreen your DH can suck it up for a few hours while you shop. Do not back down on this.
We went to 3 restaurants trying to find somewhere new before we found one. Then the service was slow, but they brought E's out early and she was happy then.

If he does get home tonight, that's my plan. I mean, how many hundreds of days have I fully functioned on just a few hours sleep? Surely he can do it this once. The sale starts tomorrow at 9am though, so if his flight gets delayed further or cancelled I'm humped.
I am going to bed before 8:30 on a Friday night. I am sick (E is sick, I got it from her) and thought of getting up all night with DS is overwhelming so I am getting extra hours now.
I am going to drop this here, since it is semi related. As soon as I can get him to take a bottle, I am done breastfeeding. I just can't. My doctor was awesome today when I mentioned it. She was all like 'I am not supposed to say this, but it's overwhelming and just too much, I get it.' She gets me.

We had a Groupon for $90 at this restaurant tonight. In true "us" fashion, we spent $70 on top of that. Omg. I also had a half glass of wine and it was so drool worthy. I can't wait for 5 months from now till I can drink for real, lol.
C stood on his own for 6 seconds today during physical therapy :-)
We're going to a pumpkin patch/fall festival tomorrow. It's supposed to be 80 degrees. I just don't know if I can get into the spirit of looking for pumpkins when I'm in shorts and flip-flops. Last year in FL it was 90 degrees the day we went to pick out pumpkins, so at least this is better.
G leaves tomorrow to spend a week with my parents while we pack. I'm going to miss him. And am so sad about packing all his stuff up. I have all the feels.
I weaned myself off my celexa because I don't feel comfortable being on it while pregnant. Its been rough. I have so much anxiety already dealing with IF and this isn't helping.
DS2 vomited, then, after we got him cleaned up, he tried to kiss me. He is 10 mo so his kisses are open mouth numbers that involve a lot of tongue if not a full attempt at latching. I kept having to duck around to avoid him, I didn't want our relationship to be forever harmed if he vomited again as he was kissing me.
DS ate his oatmeal! I used about a tablespoon of dry baby oatmeal and enough breastmilk to make it about the consistency of applesauce and he ate about half of it - the other half dripped down his front and of course I forgot about putting a bib on him. But I count that as a success!
Is there any way to help your kid pronounce the "r" sound? I feel like it's pretty hard because you can't really see/explain what your tongue is doing. DS1 is still in the realm of normal for saying it I think, so nbd, but I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to help. He does sometimes get frustrated/annoyed. osulori?
My thigh keeps spasming and it's driving me bonkers.
DH has been getting a lot of sleep this week in prep for the marathon, and yet he is still asleep on the couch right now. Sigh.

I just signed M up for gymnastics. It's kind of ridiculously expensive but I think he'll love it and it will give him an outlet for his energy during the cold months.
