We worked all day today and I'm exhausted! Sydney's room is painted, a new ceiling fan is installed, new double switches were installed, a chandelier was installed, all the furniture was built, and the curtain rod was hung. We still have to get curtains and decor for the wall, but Sydney is in love! She is calling it her fancy room. I spent most of my day organizing her new playroom. We moved everything upstairs into our bonus room/guest room. I love that there is more space and she loves that she gets to be a big girl and pay upstairs! The room is all Chargers decor, because we used to have a pool table up there. I am too lazy to change it.
TrudyCampbell Tell me about Daniel Tiger Live! Your photos are adorable! I checked the schedule but they aren't coming to CA.
It was sooo fun!! They had a fun craft in the beginning where we made little Daniel stick puppets. The show was 90 min with one 15 min intermission and both girls LOVED it. Ruby sat mesmerized through the whole thing, which was a miracle, and Violet was so happy and singing along etc. We had VIP tickets so we got to take a photo with Daniel and miss elaina after the show, and I have never seen Violet so excited, she couldn't wait for her turn and wasn't intimidated at all! She took the photo and then asked him for a high five, and then she told him she loved him! Heart melted. It was such a fun day for them. I hope it comes to CA!
Had to work all day today and tomorrow so i'm exhausted. I was supposed to be on call tonight but one of the other ladies wanted to trade so that she could drink and enjoy the Super Bowl. I really hope call isn't busy tomorrow so that I don't regret that decision.
TrudyCampbell That sounds like such a special day! I'm super impressed that Ruby paid attention the whole time! Violet's face showed her excitement over meeting Daniel and Miss Elaina. So precious!
I touched a live wire in the light switch box on accident and got a little shock. It was tiny and no big deal, but it definitely freaked me out that it shocked the baby. I am relieved that he is moving around now!
It's noon on Sunday for us. H just brought the boys back from camping and dumped all the dirty & sandy stuff on the floor. Now he's gone on a 3 hr bike ride and I am doing the laundry.

My sister sent me a beautiful picture of all of my Pennsylvania family out to dinner to celebrate my Gmom's first birthday among the stars, which is tomorrow. I am so beyond heartbroken, both not to be there and just the weight of her birthday and date of her death (the 13th). I just want to stay in my room and cry alone, but I can't without Matt here. I've lost a lot of people, but there is no comparison to this grief in my life so far. This has been the hardest year without her.

Thanks, girls. Sorry I've been such a downer lately! I'm taking the kids to glow bowling in an hour and they painted cute ceramic crafts this morning so there's been some happiness.
Sorry creamsiclechica I think the firsts are the toughest, also it's hard to grieve properly when you have little kids and are distracted/busy all the time.
My Dad died when DS2 was 6 weeks old and I didn't deal with it for ages after.
So many hugs, creamsiclechica. I'm so sorry. Wish I could hug you and get you some quiet time. Every day, every single thing you do with those sweet babies honors her memory.
We escaped the room! Lol. I think it took us 48 minutes (you have an hour) and they claim an only 20% success rate. It definitely wasn't easy!
Just got home - we shared our sitters with our friends so we had 2 sitters and 5 kids here. There are toys EVERYWHERE. There's is going to be a lot of cleaning tomorrow.
