1. What was the best thing that happened to you this weekend? While the big girl napped yesterday, my H sat inside watching the baseball game with the baby on his lap. I sat outside by the pool, by myself, reading 2 issues of Us Weekly and sipping on 2 Trulys.
2. What did you have for breakfast? About to have a granola bar.
BONUS: One random. I sent out invitations for DD1's birthday party two weeks ago. We've only had 2 families RSVP. Granted, the party isn't for another 2 weeks, and the guest list is mostly immediate family. I'm sure most people will be coming. I just wish everyone would respond immediately upon receiving the invitation. I don't understand how others don't recognize that the world revolves around me.
1. My little man is home. All is right in my world again.
2. Greek Yogurt and a banana.
3. Today was day 9 in a row of working out. I have been really careful with my food intake for the past week. Didn't do so well yesterday and the was the first day in over a week that I had heartburn. Great motivator to say on the clean eating kick.
1. We took the kids to a puppet show and they were in awe of the marionettes. I love seeing things through their eyes. 2. English muffin and an egg 3. Random: I killed a succulent. Not sure how that's even possible.
1. I made cute little stuffed bears for the kids, which they loved. It was fun craft time for me, plus it cemented that I really do not like the new sewing machine I bought. It's going back to Amazon. DH keeps pushing me to get one that does machine applique, which I really want but it's more expensive. I may just do it, which I'm excited about!
2. I'm about to eat a Nutrigrain thing that's supposed to taste like cinnamon coffee cake. It's a step up from Pop-Tarts, which I'm trying to quit eating!
Random: I'm already excited for the holidays this year. This is a little out of character. I love holidays, but I'm normally annoyed that we rush through one to get to the next. But this year I'm like "Christmas, here we come!!!"
1. I got some nice 1-on-1 time with DS1 on Sunday. We went on a walk to 2 different parks and swung by the fire station.
2. Cheerios and coffee.
Bonus: Tomorrow's my final round interview at a company. They certainly don't leave any stone unturned. Last time I went in for most of a day and met a bunch of VPs. This is another full day with a psychological assessment and meetings with the President, CTO, and head of HR. FX!
Bob Evans Southwest hash brown. Soooo good and low calorie.
Random: our rental for Thanksgiving is on Galveston. I think we are going to cancel and try to find a lake house in Austin. I'm relieved as at first DH was like "we will just stay home".

1. DS was his happy, cute and agreeable self this weekend.
2. Erin Baker breakfast cookie. The only way I'll eat oatmeal.
I finished creating a PowerPoint at work yesterday that I had been dragging my feet on. There were a couple sections I had to add at the request of another coworker and they just weren't working right. I finally figured out how to do it and I think it turned out great. My supervisor said it looked great too.

1. I took a nap that was over an hour long yesterday. Granted I had a baby on my boob the whole time but I don't even care. 2. 3 eggs with spinach and a piece of toast. And one Jimmy Dean sausage pancake bite. Sooooo good. Random: DH is picking DS up from school. He's bitching about the old man that entered through the exit drive and saying a prayer for the parent that the director just told to go park their car so they can come inside. He's such a mom lol

1. We went out of town to see my inlaws and we didn't get stuck in traffic and it only rained a little and generally it was a nice visit.
2. Homemade egg and sausage wrap
3. My H and I often disagree on how much to donate to charity. This morning he asked me to find a good kid-related organization in Houston to donate to. I said the Texas diaper bank and threw out a figure. He agreed and told me to give the same to the food bank. Score.

1. My 10 month old started rolling back to front and front to back like a champ. We just had her evaluation and qualified for PT for her on Wednesday bc of her not rolling.
2. Two eggs, two pieces of toast, 1 piece of cheese. I'm out of oatmeal which is my usual breakfast.
Random: nothing for now. I may come back and edit.
1. DH officially left his company that screwed him and opened up his own shop. I launched his website. I'm pretty proud of it.
2. Greek yogurt with Grape Nuts in it (because I'm 90 and need the fiber), plus a Garden Lites muffin.
Random: kids were misbehaving at Target this weekend. I told them that if they didn't stop, DH and I would act like them when we dropped them off for their first day of school. We'd whine, hit each other, etc. They stopped.
1. DS2 has started to figure out how to sleep through the night. The past few weeks have been terrible with him crying several times overnight. Then last night, he had one wake up at 2am because he was really hungry. I'm hoping this trend gets better.
2. Peanut butter on whole wheat toast and a glass of milk
Random: One of my coworkers stopped by today (she is out on maternity leave). Her baby was born at 28 weeks and will be in the NICU until October. Thankfully, her baby girl is doing wonderful. My coworker showed me some pictures and a video. She has a really wiggly, alert baby. Her baby has a CPAP and a feeding tube and is making great progress. I am so relieved for her. She'll be back to work in three weeks. Then she'll take paid parental leave when the baby comes home. I am so grateful that we work for a company that gives us 10 weeks of paid parental leave in addition to maternity leave. The parental leave can be used anytime until the baby turns one. For me, that means I have been working 4 days a week for the summer and I think I'll keep doing that until I have used it all.

1. Seeing how funny DS is. That kid cracks me up. After biking to Starbucks, we sat on its patio and I bought him a bistro box. He looked up, had the biggest smile and said "ah....what could be better in life than this? Seeing and eating my cheese and crackers with the best people in the world?" (I assume he meant DH, I and his sister)
2. Strawberries
3. We watched the documentary "What the Health?" last night - I kept dozing off and every time I woke up, it was still talking about how meat, poultry, fish and dairy are bad for you. So I started yelling "but what can we eat then???" at the TV. DH, who is super granola and is probably on the track of becoming a vegan, was not amused.
1. I got to see Nora the polar bear finally. This was are 4th attempt each time we had gone up she wasn't out for this reason or that. Watching DD run between viewing windows because she was so much fun was priceless
2. Yogurt
3. The air is so thick and stinky from all the wildfires that it is seeping through the doors/windows so everything stinks. Air quality is unhealthy and we may not get a reprieve until the end of the week.

1. Some of the food I had? Some of the vacation food was beginning to toll on me so it was nice to eat out donuts, steak, lobster, etc. Food controls my mood more than it should and I was starting to get grumpy from MIL insisting that we eat really old leftovers and deli sandwiches.
2. Egg white, bacon, and cheese on a croissant.
Bonus: I am wearing white today because it is almost Labor Day. Mixed feelings about switching to fall clothes.
1. I had some great 1x1 time with DD2 while DD1 was at a birthday party.
2. Raisin Bran - I almost never eat cereal so kind of a strange morning.
Bonus: I have a "Final Interview" tomorrow for a job. It is actually my first interview and I have never even talked to anyone with this company. I have gotten several emails from HR and completed a writing assessment for them (it's for a Technical Writer position so that makes sense), but I never even had a screening phone call. Kind of weird, right?
1. DH and I had a great anniversary date on Saturday. We were gone all day and night since the inlaws had the kids. It's been a long time since we've had an adult day and it was much needed. So nice to have that time to reconnect and relax. We did breakfast, winery (non alcoholic tasting for me), hiking, read books by the beach and ate at a fine dining restaurant.
2. Toast and oatmeal
I have 10 weeks or less of pregnancy to go. I'm in full nesting mode but it revolves around our house décor and not the nursery. I'm having DH hanging new pictures and wall art everywhere and I just realized that I MUST get new curtains for our bedroom. I think he might kill me.
1. I had a great weekend that deserves all kinds of attention but can I do best thing on Monday? I was officially promoted today AND my first author manuscript went online today in one of the top biomedical journals. No exaggeration, probably the most significant work day I've had in four years. I've been saving champagne for over a year and I'm having that for dinner.
2. Instant oatmeal at my desk.
3. I lived in Houston for six years and met my husband there. I have a ton of mixed emotions today (see above).
1) a couple of friends talked about going to the renaissance fetival and I though there's no way H would ever want to go. Not only did he put off working on the patio, we spent the whole day there. Huzzah! Now DS has been playing very seriously with a prince crown and a wooden sword in the backyard while DD plays with her princess garland on. It's so cute.
2) spinach with a little olive oil and egg whites
Random: I got My hair cut into an a line bob and dyed dark and I Love it and got lots of compliments today.

1. My Friday plans got cancelled...lol. Such an introverted thing to be happy about and I love my friends but I just wanted to go to bed early and wake up without an alarm.
2. I haven't eaten breakfast yet but I plan to go to Panera and get a cinnamon crunch bagel.
Random - I mentioned in my Monday celebration that my boss gave me Friday off which I can't wait for - a 4 day weekend! But I have zero motivation right now. I don't want to be rushing around Thursday to get everything done, or worse, work on Friday because I didn't get everything done.
1. What was the best thing that happened to you this weekend? I had a good time hanging out with my bf and meeting two of her friends. All of the kids played really well together so we could actually talk. It was great!
2. What did you have for breakfast? Protein shake
BONUS: One random. I just got an instant pot and can’t wait to use it!
