Week of 10/22

[luv2rn4fun]

Plans, randoms, vents, AWs, etc...

Have an awesome week ladies!!

[luv2rn4fun]

Today: bagels and grocery shopping, maybe the park or see if they want to ride their bikes (they are both still coughing a lot though...)

Weds: I have one of the other boys (same age as L) while C is in preschool. Probably take them for a walk and maybe to the library.

Thurs: watching both boys.

Fri: chapel for preschool, shopping for party stuff for DH surprise party next week.

Sat: soccer, going to a new bagel place afterwards for breakfast/lunch. We were supposed to do a date for DH’s bday but decided to do a family date since DH is leaving early on Sunday for Vegas and doesn’t want to be out too late. Going to our favorite pizza/beer place.

Sun: DH will be gone for 3 full days. Planning to run with my dad, get us packed for Disneyland early on Monday, and have a relaxing day. Maybe go to the beach trail or do something a little different and more exciting.

M - music class
T - playdate in the afternoon at the children's museum
W - trick or treating with our library group/ lunch with my mom and grandma afterwards
Th - maybe see MIL? G is already asking when we will see her next.
F - maybe trick or treating with nieces at a small town near us. I'm annoyed with my SIL so I haven't invited them yet.

Weekend - maybe hit up some trunk or treats or fall festival things going on around town.



DH has an ear infection and is miserable. He was headed up to minor emergency when they opened. I hope he doesn't have to wait too long. Luckily he had today off of work because he has another follow up doctor appointment (unrelated) later this afternoon.

Thursday is J's second birthday! Poor kid caught a cold over the weekend so I'm hoping he's better by his bday. I'm going to grab some mini cupcakes and candles for him to have that day.

Saturday I'm heading to meet my best friend's baby who was born last week. Sunday we are going to go to a halloween event at the zoo.

Other than that, just in major catch up mode at school. I'm SO behind on paperwork, grades, and other stuff.

suzv, happy birthday to J!

My cousin and her husband are in town so they're coming over tonight to visit (and bring dinner!)

Tomorrow R has speech therapy and Wednesday is his music class. Otherwise, fairly quiet week here. Will run a few errands but nothing too crazy. I have tons to get done around the house though.

I'm sick again, ugh. This time it's a chest cold with a dry cough that hurts my throat. Dh is sick too, with a sinus infection. E is probably sick but all he has is a runny nose. He's fine otherwise.

OB appointment tomorrow, yay.

E has a dentist appointment Wed afternoon for... not really a filling, but covering the tooth with stuff so it doesn't develop into a cavity. Looks like this kid got my crappy teeth. This weirdo is actually looking forward to going to the dentist, he likes it there (probably because he gets a cheap toy at the end of each visit).

And DH's truck is not running. Something is going on with the electrical system. It's been acting up the last 2-3 weeks but now it flat refuses to turn on.

[estrellita]

Nothing planned during the week but I need to schedule my fillings (they were supposed to call me but never did). Also hoping to schedule a skin scan (I've never done one and really really should) and a dentist appointment for E. Why does making a phone call make me so anxious?

Other than that, plans for this weekend are taking the kids to a kids and parents expo that has ToTing on Sat, then maybe a Halloween party that night (for us, not the kids 😉).

[wineandcheese]

Our friends left this morning 😞 Our apartment is so quiet now.

I went to HR for my new job today to fill out paperwork. Then I had to go get a drug test for the position. Later I need to watch 4 videos then my pre-employment stuff is done. Hopefully I start next week.

H took me out for lunch today to celebrate. Our diets restart tomorrow lol. I need to meal plan for the week and write out a grocery list for tomorrow.

Besides that, nothing else really planned.

pooh8402 G had to get sealant on 2 teeth not long ago to protect them from cavities. It was super fast and easy. Hope that's how it goes for your ds too.

DH had 2 moles removed before vacation. One required surgery and was cancerous but he got the all clear today that they got it all. He had another removed today at his follow up. He also made it to the minor emergency clinic for antibiotics. He had already ruptured his ear drum. He is joking and in a much better mood which is great because he was miserable to be around the last couple days.


I'm going to need to get a skin check scheduled next month. I have a growing mole I want checked but it's where the underwire of my bra hits so that will be an annoying one to remove.

[pooh8402]

Count me as another who needs a skin check. I have a mole that's darkened, but I also know that moles just darken during pregnancy, so...

I have so many freckles and moles I can't keep track of them all 😭 all the more reason to get myself checked. I just know nothing about the process so my anxiety is getting the best of me. I just need to do it!

My moles changed SO much during pregnancy. I couldn't believe how puffy and dark they all got. I did make the derm check twice to make sure all was good.

[pooh8402]

My OB prescribed tessalon perles for my cough, YAS! Maybe I can get some sleep tonight and not completely ruin my voice.

I didn't even know tessalon was pregnancy-friendly. Good to know.

[pooh8402]

Ugh the cough meds didn't work. I got about 2, maybe 2.5 hours of sleep last night. I had the diffuser going, vicks on my chest, throat, feet, and under my nose. Took my tessalon perles at 9 PM (can take every 8 hours) plus took robitussin at midnight and 5 am. Throat spray stayed right next to me and I was using it like once an hour. I even ran a hot shower and sat in the steam since that helped yesterday morning. Nope. I slept in the living room for the third night in a row to sleep elevated and try to preserve DH's sleep. But apparently my coughing was so loud it still woke him up.

And my temp is going up. 99.6 this morning.

I was planning to vote today, maybe get ahead on schoolwork. And E still has his dentist appointment at 3:30.

And I can't go back to sleep.

Yep. I have a derm appointment on Friday because I have a mole on my breast that suddenly got super dark, and my OB told me to go get it checked out.

Hope you feel better soon pooh8402!

We got our family pictures back and I love them! She's the same photographer that did our engagement and wedding pictures so it was fun to do pictures with her again (I went to HS with her too). I'll probably post the rest tonight on FB or at least more of them!

[wineandcheese]

Feel better pooh8402.

Hold onto your hats ladies! My H wants to do a 10k with me in March. We will be signing up soon so he can’t back out lol.

Poor H has be down since our friends left. I’m trying to find things to do this weekend to get him out of the house. There are 2 fall festivals Saturday so I’m dragging him to both. Maybe I’ll pack a picnic lunch and we can eat by the river.

[wineandcheese]

I start my new job Monday! DH and I can start building our savings back up now since the move.

[luv2rn4fun]

DH’s BFF planned “a guys trip to Vegas” for DH and another BFF 40th bdays. They left at 6 this morning and come back late on Tuesday.

So far he has been surprised with two other friends showing up and a helicopter ride to some body of water (which DH LOVES). He just texted saying race cars are next. They are having a blast!

The boys and I ran with my dad this morning- first run in a month or so! Ran 5 miles and felt great! Took the boys for a Halloween walk around the neighborhood, baked some pumpkin bread, made C a new beanie hat, did laundry, and washing my car! Both boys napped today so hopefully bedtime will go ok tonight...

[wineandcheese]

luv2rn4fun sounds like your H is having a great birthday trip!

Sunday is our normal walk downtown day. H decided he wanted to try a different route. We ended up walking 4.5 miles lol. I was wearing flip flops so my feet are killing me. We did find a bagel place that’s pretty good, still not a NY bagel but we can deal.
