Saaaaame here. I'm not usually a schedule-app-user, but this week I have color coded to the minute. And let me tell you, there are not nearly enough purple SLEEP blocks on there.
And I haven't received any RSVPs for the boys' party on Saturday. I don't even know how to go about hounding the other parents, most of them don't get out of their cars at dropoff/pickup, and we don't have an email or phone # list. So I guess I will buy some extra cupcakes and it will be a surprise.
It's dark and rainy so it feels much earlier than it actually is. I need to get my butt up and out for a run, but my baby is sleeping on my chest and it's making it difficult to leave my bed.
We had our realtor come by and give us the list of what we need to do in order to sell. It's long. There are so many little fixes that it seems overwhelming. Plus, we are seriously thinking of renting a uhaul to take all the stuff in our basement to my grandmothers house. She's offered up her basement as free storage (thank god), but it would take 15 trips in the car. I want it just throw everything out. Fucking teacher stuff.

First night without binky. Well she has it but the end is snipped. She was up at 6 screaming her head off and asking for my help to fix it. I feel awful and honestly I feel like giving in. She loves that binky, only has it in bed and routinely sleeps past 8am with it.
BUT it has to go at some point and I don't really want to have to go through last night again. Maybe tonight will be better?
It is such a dark and dreary day here with this rain. I was sure my alarm went off too early because it was so dark. I love fall, but I wish we didn't lose so much daylight.
We invited friends over for a get together and to see the new house. I'm excited to show off our house but also starting to worry about getting it straightened up -getting rid of empty boxes and finding homes for all the "we'll take care of this soon so I'll put it here for now" stuff we still haven't put away.
So, K has been sick with a cold, which she generously shared with me. Last night in bed I could hear this whistling noise. It was her exhaling on the monitor.
She sounds ok this morning, but will neb her later.

If she only has it in bed why are you taking it away? Is her dentist concerned? I'm going through this with DS. He's 3.5. His dentist said his teeth look great and he's very verbal so I'm not too concerned. He gets it at daycare for nap time only. At home I'm a bit more relaxed about it but try to take it after he wakes up. I've been trying to figure out a reason to take it away but can't really come up with a good one, if you know what I mean.
DH took Hart to the doctor yesterday for his annual check up and the doctor looked in his ear and asked if we had been to the beach. There was sand in his ear...from like 6 weeks ago.

Parenting fail.
In all fairness, they keep telling parents not to use Q-tips. So. What are you really supposed to do?
Pinterest convinced me I should eat clean. So I meal planned and shopped for good healthy foods this weekend. And after only two days I realized ingredients are delicious and I'd rather have chemicals than eat cottage cheese again. DH was kind enough to bring me a milkshake on his way home last night. And now I have a fridge full of stuff I don't want to eat. I'm thinking Chipotle for dinner!
Thanks to pouring rain and traffic accidents everywhere, it took me an hour and a half to get to work, when it's usually about 40 minutes. When I got to the first incident, I just went in to fuck it mode and just accepted that it would take as long as it would take, and actually had a pretty relaxing, zen commute, lol.
DD wanted Love You Forever read this morning, and man, I always forget how creepy that mom is climbing in her son's window. WTF.
I skipped the treadmill last night to go to bed early, and then couldn't sleep. I probably would have slept better if I'd run.
Baby appointment in a bit and then lots of errand running to do. I can't decide if I should try to go to the gym today. My body hurts from yesterday, but I really need to step it up on how often I'm going.
A former co-worker has an idea for a business that coaches women through weight loss and increasing fitness and I was invited to join her pilot program for free. At our first meeting we concentrated more on behaviors, motivation and exercise than food and it was refreshing. I'm excited to participate!
This morning I cut 2 fingers on a cat food can and even with a bandaid they won't stop bleeding, ugh.
Today I see a notoriously difficult account who leaves me drained. I put up with his nonsense because he gives me a lot of business. It also doesn't hurt that he gives nice holiday gifts, lol.
DD had an epic tantrum this morning. It was so frustrating but I wanted to cry with her, too. She always seems to be having fun when I pick her up and she brought home their class book the other night and pointed out all of her friends and what they like to play together. But then she cries about not wanting to go and how she always has a bad day I'm looking forward to our Friday off together.
Why, WHY is it so hard to find DD bras that don't have padding? Because yeah, the LAST thing I want to do is add anything to that area. Also while we're at it how about making bras in that size a little prettier and not cost an arm and a leg Kthanksbye.
Todays the day I get to stop doing two jobs and just do one. They finally hired for the position above me (after me doing both jobs for 6.5 long weeks) and she starts today! I'm pretty sure it'll be a bumpy transition though so I'm going to hold onto my hat and wish hard for the weekend. And pray. A lot. :^)

My head is pounding.
I feel your pain. We all have a cold here and just started the baby on his inhalers. He was up at 5:15 wheezing and he usually sleeps until 9. Hopefully you and her are feeling better soon.
