We are in father-son Sleater-Kinney shirts at the Rock Band fundraiser.

V is a little overwhelmed but hanging in there. If anyone wants to watch and/or donate (the money goes to Extra Life, which I think gives the money to children's hospitals), you can go to twitch.TV/SeattleRockBand - for $10 you can pick a song for me to sing/play.
Nursing DD to sleep at the moment and wondering why DH isn't putting DS to bed! My parents are here and they love seeing the kids but they are going to be here all day tomorrow.
Plus DH needs to start grilling the delicious steaks we bought for dinner!!
I need to find a movie to watch tonight. Any suggestions for a movie to watch with my parents? no graphic sex scenes, other than that restriction, I'm open! We have Netflix and verizon fios.
I'm scrapbooking our Disney trip and man, I'm ready to go back. Need to convince the parents to do a 2017 trip.
Skyped with DH and E earlier. She was feeling a bit better, but hasn't eaten much. No more puking thankfully. They've been working their way through our Disney movie collection.

DS1 had a great 5th bday party today. I just wish I was able to enjoy it more. I'm so sleep deprived and sick that I just felt like a fog was around me the whole time.
After everyone left, DS1 was talking to himself walking down the hallway and said, "I can't believe I'm going to be 5 tomorrow!". It was so adorable.
DD has slept great the past couple nights but I've slept like crap due to being sick. I'm just praying I get some rest tonight. It's been a long week and I go back to work next week and am traveling. I need to kick this cold!
I am laying in bed watching hgtv. Apparently DH got pissy about having to clean the kitchen? I didn't ask him to, so I don't think he is pissed at me, but he's definitely in a shitty mood. Now I can hear the vacuum going in the basement. That's not good.
Today was pretty good. DH and I both had the day off so we actually got to spend some time as a family. We went out to eat and then spent the afternoon at the park because it got up to almost 70 today. DH is heading out to a benefit dinner so DD and I will be on our own for bedtime.
I can't decide if I want to head to Target after DD goes to bed or not. The top I want to get is 25% off on cartwheel and it ends today. That would make it $15 instead of $20 and at that point I might as well get two. But that means I would have to leave my house, and I'm very comfortable here right now.
We went to the mall this evening to see Santa and I returned a romper to HA I had ordered but ended up or liking for DD. Home now putting DD to bed then I might turn in too. I'm fucking exhausted today for some reason.
We had a fun day at the mall! So sad that 2 hrs at the mall is now a huge deal for me. I got a beautiful dress for DD on clearance to wear for her first birthday. I'm so excited about it!
My breast is killing me. The entire top of my left boob is clogged up (AGAIN). I hate my breasts, I hare breastfeeding, I hate clogs, I hate that DD is being a little gremlin nursing. I think she's fussy because it is plugged up but man, I felt like I was wrestling an angry bear. She keeps pulling off while still latched on and is really hurting me. I'm so frustrated with nursing. She'll be 6 months next week and I'm considering just giving up BFing. But I really don't want to. Sigh.
We are going out to dinner for my dad's bday with my dad, my mom, my step-dad, my dad's new girlfriend who is also my mom's BFF, and my brother and SIL. I am so curious to see if our evening is fun or weird.

I need to go clean the dishes. My parents have been a huge help - especially my mom this weekend. DD has a double ear infection, eye goop and is on a 10 day course of antibiotics. I am pregnant and under the weather and mom has been amazing (although she is totally neurotic and driving me crazy at the same time - I feel like an asshole).
Mom is putting DD to bed which is a long process and I promised to go clean the dishes. But my ass has not left this seat as I continue to futz around on the computer.

noodleoo, sorry you are having such a rough time with breastfeeding and your boobs. It's okay to stop. I haven't had too many issues with nursing compared to others, but have weaned my kids all between 4-6 months just because I need my body back to myself and get horrible back pain from my huge nursing boobs.
Each time I've been a little sad when it ends, but also pretty relieved and happy once we get settled into a good formula/bottle routine.
So DH decided to do our laundry today. Great. He noticed a stain on one of my white nursing tanks after the laundry goes through. He decides to wash it, again. Alone.
Not a waste of water or anything. Nope. One tank. Sigh. I love him, but no.
noodleoo I'm sorry you are having a hard time. I wanted to quit so many times with dd1, so so many. It's hard giving yourself permission to do so, it's all a mental game I swear. Good luck in whatever you decide.

TWO kids asleep in their own beds! By 9 pm! The first time H and I have been alone on the sofa in 2 months. I need to start E's bedtime a little earlier, but she was napping still at like 8 pm. Lol.

It's my birthday and my parents didn't call. The last time they didn't call on my birthday it was because my grandfather had died and they didn't want to ruin my birthday.

We spent all day looking for a dresser and bookshelf for M and didn't find anything. I hate that none of the stores around here carry our style. I'm now looking at spending a small fortune from LON or somewhere else online.
My mom came over this afternoon and helped me start to sew black out curtains for C's room...aka she did it and I helped. But just as we were 90% finished with one panel my sewing machine just died. Womp womp. So she took everything home to finish them at her house on her own. Winning?
I tried to take SS out on a mother/son kind of date tonight but there weren't any movies he wanted to see and he said he wasn't hungry enough to go out to dinner. So instead we watched Inside Out at home and ordered pizza. So much better anyway!

Went to a dinner party and dd had her first accident in months. Of course we had no change of clothes, but fortunately our friends' 21 month old is the same size as dd so she wore his clothes, down to the Incredibles undies (he's not pt'ed yet, they're hand me downs from big brother).
Funnily, normally pants are punishment for her but she was so excited to wear his clothes.

Dd wee'd on our bed at bedtime tonight. H was going to just put the sheet in the washer and then dryer. Lol. No. I made him go round the house and scrounge up more laundry. If it was up to h, our hydro bill would be about $1000 a month.
We are crib free for the first time in 7+ years. DS2 was so in love with his new bed today he didn't want to leave it. He hung out with the door closed "so nobody else could get in." He wanted DH and I to have a party with him in his bed. I was outside with the other two and he made DH stay in his bed. They waved to us from the window.

Ds is at my in-laws for the night and H and I just got back from dinner. My dad threw a surprise 60th birthday dinner for his wife and we only knew like 2 people. It wasn't as awkward as I was expecting! Now we are home with beer and I'm trying to figure out what to watch. Also, I get to sleep in tomorrow!!!!
