Ten Things Tuesday!!

I know it's way early but it's 4 30 where I'm at and I'm not sure how much time I will have to do this later. :)

Re: Ten Things Tuesday!!

    1. Incase you haven't heard (read), we are moving out of state. Today.

    2. I don't need to be up for another hour and a half but DD woke up to eat and now I can't go back to sleep.

    3. We have soooo much to do before we leave still that my brain feels liks it will explode.

    4. I feel sick to my stomach. Not sure if it's from drinking a little last night and getting close to no sleep or the fact that our entire life is going to drastically change within hours.

    5. I hope DD does good on the plane. I haven't been on a plane since I've been old enough to drink. That may just be the reason I make it through this flight.

    6. My grandparents are picking us up from the airport and I'm stoked. They are my favorite people in the entire world other than DD and DH.

    7. It will be very weird living at my dads for the few weeks we will be there. I haven't seen him in 3 years and in the time we've had a hugeee falling out/reconnect so this should be interesting.

    8. Seriously? I just had this whole thing typed out and deleted it because my phone is stupid.

    9. Over the last two months of being at my moms, My youngest sister has gotten very close to DH and I and I feel terrible leaving her here. My mom makes her life so miserable. I will miss her so much so I'm getting up early to make her breakfast before school.

    10. I'm pretty sure my dad has no internet. So until we get settled in in our own place, I'm not sure when I'll be on. I WILL MISS YOU LADIES!!! And I really hope you are all here when I come back. This board has been here for me when no one else was and you all have a place in my heart. I will keep you all in my T&PS.

    @PumpkinMommaaa‌ hurry and get settled and get back on here! We will miss you! Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Wishing you all the best while your gone.
  • We will miss you! I hope the traveling goes well today. Good luck getting settled and with everything! I hope everything goes better than you hope. I'll send you lots of positive vibes while you are gone. Take care :)
  • Good luck @PumpkinMommaaa‌ !!! Hope your flight goes well and you settle in quickly. We'll be thinking of you. Try to check in occasionally if you can.
  • Well thank you!!! I'll probably be on and off today with wifi and such.

    Also. Where are everyone's TTTs? Lol
  • Good luck @PumpkinMommaaa‌ !!! I hope everything goes well with the move, that your family has a smooth transition into your dad's & that you're able to move past what caused your issues, that your sister will be good when you go, and that your new home will be fabulous! We will miss you; hurry back!

  • 1. I missed last week's 10 things, but for the life of me don't know why!

    2. I love Clinton Kelly. I never got into the fashion show he was on, but I love him on the Chew.

    3. We leave for Punta Cana for BIL's wedding on Thursday at 5:15. So we have to get up at 3:00 am to get over to the airport to travel to Charlotte then to the Dominican. I am so nervous for DD's routine to be super out of whack and making for a miserable baby. Wish me luck!

    4. I agree with @twolittlewheels‌ bitch yesterday that being an adult sucks! Bills and things just keep coming, especially with summer and graduations and lots of family birthdays and travel things and house/yard work. Why can't I inherit a big lump sum of money from somewhere!?

    5. My new glasses are coming soon and I can't wait for them! I am weird and love new glasses.

    6. Next Friday I have a hair appointment with my stylist before she goes on mat leave. I'm thinking of going to a long bob but I am a scaredy cat. I have had long hair forever, see below, down to my boobs. image
    This is what I am thinking of doing. What do you ladies think?

    8. LO has been getting up super early lately, getting around 10 hours of sleep at night and she used to get 11-12. We put her down around 7:30 when she shows tired signs and nothing has changed! I don't know what her deal is!

    9. My childhood bff just had her little boy yesterday! 8 lb 13 oz, hot damn he's a big boy!

    10. I, like @jesnic89‌, want another soon at times then at other times I think oh hell no!

  • @jlp0528 I think that you should do it, I love that hair and I'm kind of jealous that I'm not brave enough to chop mine off. :) Also, I know all babies are different but LO did amazing when we went to Punta Cana! The heat and playing in the water all day wore her out and she slept so well.
    @PumpkinMommaaa Good luck with the move!!

    Here's my 10...

    1. LO is 9 months old today!! How?!?
    2. We are still in Oklahoma for a few days, and I've already probably gained 10 lbs eating all of the foods that we don't have in Canada. Mmm. I tried Chipotle and Panera as per all of your pregnancy cravings that I read about.
    3. Baby clothes are way cheaper here... I might have to buy another suitcase to bring everything home.
    4. I like to treat every month birthday like a special day even if she has no clue. Today we are going to go swimming and eat blueberries because they are her favourite.
    5. It's my birthday 2 weeks from today and I still get excited like a kid even though I'll be 28.
    6. LO has trashed this hotel room. Since we didn't have room to pack too many toys, we've improvised and she has water bottles and cups all over the place.
    7. Typing 10 things on an iPhone sucks.
    8. I've always been a scaredy cat when it comes to storms... So being in tornado alley makes me extra paranoid.
    9. LO had a 2 hour nap in my arms yesterday... Because I had nowhere else to be I just enjoyed the cuddles (and almost wet my pants).
    10. We've been on 10 flights with LO and there will be 2 more to get home Friday.

    @jlp0528 - I totally think you could pull that style off!

    1. I'm going to see my sister in law today, it was her due date yesterday, hopefully that baby comes soon!!
    2. The past two days when LO gets up at 6ish I let her fuss it out and she's been going back to sleep until a little after 7, the extra bit of sleep is nice.
    3. I'm still wrestling with the decision of whether to wean LO when I go back to work in September or whether I should continue breastfeeding.
    4. I'm shocked how much food my LO can eat in one sitting.
    5. My parents have officially seperated after 27 years of marriage. It's been
    A very rough few weeks in regards to that as there has been some upsetting factors that lead to it and all of us kids have been dragged into it.
    6. I've been getting out a lot more and getting together with friends more, it feels really good and breaks up my day.
    7. We had some friends over on Saturday and ended up sitting out around a fire until 1:30Am. I was so tired the next day, it's been a long time since I stayed up that late.
    8. I am now covered on mosquito bites because of it, soo itchy!
    9. I often think we will wait until LO is close to being in kindergarten before we start trying for #2. I would love not to have to pay for two kids in daycare as well as have that one on one time with my next baby. Not to mention catch up on sleep when I need to during the day. But at the same time having them closer is age would be nice for them growing up.
    10. I'm excited to give DH his Father's Day gift and celebrate the day as a family.
  • @jlp0528‌ YES do it! I think it would suit you, might take some getting used to but I'm sure it would feel refreshing!

    @PumpkinMommaaa‌ wishing you safe travels and an easy transition!!

    ---
    1. LO starting moving forward last night! It was literally out of nowhere! I wouldn't say she's legitimately crawling but it's like an army crawl and she is FAST. I was used to her only moving backwards I'm really gonna have to baby proof now.

    2. My SO is sick and we've neglected the house the last couple days. I really want to clean today but I don't know where to start.

    3. I get to pick up my new glasses and contacts today! I'm really excited to ditch the old ones I've been wearing.

    4. I took Autumn into the pool yesterday for the first time!! She loved it, even though the water was freezing. She's been in her baby pool but didn't seem to enjoy it so we'll have to spend a lot of time in the big pools this summer!

    5. I'm skipping her baby massage class today.. I don't feel like walking an hour to get there today. She doesn't enjoy sitting still anymore either.

    6. I painted my nails for the first time since DD has been born and it chipped off and a tiny piece of neon orange paint went into her eye somehow. Just our luck, poor girl can never catch a break. (She had the hair stuck in her eye a few months back)

    7. I have no summer clothes and no money to shop for any either.

    8. My maternity leave is over and I don't have a job to go back to because our company closed while I was pregnant. I've been applying for jobs the last 6 months with no luck. Sometimes I really hate living in a small city for this reason.

    9. I'm so thankful SO works his butt off and can support us but I really hate not being able to contribute. I've always loved working and being a SAHM has taken a toll on my independence.

    10. It's so beautiful out today I'm debating taking DD to our local splash pad!

  • Thanks for the vote of confidence on that style! My only worry is I am used to straightening my hair and going and this look requires styling, which isn't my strong suit.

  • 1. I reserved a pavilion at a splash pad for LOs birthday party this morning. Now I need to decide on invitations and his birthday outfit. So I can get them ordered :) 
    2. I am getting my hair done today. DH wants me to go back darker but I am not sure. I don't like the current color. We will see what my stylist says. 
    3. I am going to see my sis next week. 
    4. I'm super excited because she got us appointments with this photographer that I have been wanting to use. (She's been on maternity leave but has started working again now)
     5. I ordered a super cute hat and suspenders for DS for the photo shoot
    . 6. I am going to make him a shirt.
     7. I'm going shopping tomorrow for DH Father's Day present. I'm also going to go to the craft store. I hope to get a prop for pics for Father's Day.
     8. I am sleep/crib training DS. I started last week. He had 3 very good (1 wake up) nights in the big bed. 
    9. The 2 nights that he has been in the crib --- not good. I think he misses the cuddles. I do :( 
    10. I'm sad the sleep check ins stopped.
  • 1. Both kids are napping at the same time, yay!
    2. I adore pretzel m & ms.
    3. I have Skyfall on my DVR and I'm excited to watch it this weekend.
    4. My mom found a bunch of great summer clothes for DD at a garage sale.
    5. DS is almost 3 and we're still struggling with potty training.
    6. I'm reading history text books from the kids section at the library. They are fascinating, apparently I learned nothing in school or at least have forgotten it all.
    7. I found out the nearby ice cream shop is selling fried pickles, which I must try ASAP.
    8. I tried to make baked pickles from a Pinterest recipe, they were not great.
    9. I wish I could dance.
    10. My dream job is to be a librarian.

  • @drey1028‌ - I worry about #8, too!
    Good luck, @PumpkinMommaaa‌!!
    And that is a super cute style, @jlp0528‌!

    As for mine:
    1. I'm currently watching a training video at work. It's boring and making me sleepy.

    2. I really want to make something special for DH for Father's Day, but I'm short on ideas and time.

    3. I'm still trying to figure out how to carve out time to work out a few times a week. I think it would do wonders for my mood.

    4. We are in the process of getting pre-approved to buy our first home. I wish I could twitch my nose and have us find a home, move in and be settled. Thinking about all the steps in between where we are now and being in a house are giving me anxiety.

    5. I would like for us to be in a house by LO's first birthday so we can throw him an awesome birthday party. The layout of our apartment isn't great for parties.

    6. LO has a bunch of cute summer clothes that I just got out. I can't wait to put him in them, but it's been a little too chilly here for a baby in shorts over the last week or so.

    7. I get a girls' night out this week. Six of us are going to Jazz in the Park - basically an excuse to sit in the park, drink wine and eat snacks. I'm pretty excited about it. Bonus: it's walking distance from home.

    8. As excited as I am for girls' night, I have to remember that I have to work on Friday morning and that I'm a lightweight and can only drink 2 glasses of wine. A third would lead to a massive headache the next day.

    9. I'm a little envious of all of the S13 mamas who have been giving their LOs all sorts of table food. DS still gags on puffs, which in turn still leads me to be scared of giving him anything else. He has 2 bottom teeth, and I think a top one is about to pop through, so maybe that will help a bit. I'm open to any suggestions on how to get over my fear!

    10. I wish I would have known about/participated in this board when I was pregnant. Even though I mostly lurk, I like the sense of support you ladies have to offer.
  • @nbartlett47 - DD also gags on puffs, she is nowhere near eating any kind of table food yet. It took her a while to get the hang of even eating baby food purees so you're not alone!

    1) I cleaned most DD's today. I put most of them in the dish washer.

    2) my girl loves meat! This she gets from Mommy

    3) a big tree fell in my yard today from the wind. We were outside, it was kinda scary.

    4) my father's day t shirts didn't turn our as planned. I didn't get 100% cotton shirts and so they bleach well. I had to use fabric spray paint. They are OK but not as good as I wanted.

    5) I've been busy almost all day but didn't get near as much done as I need to.

    6) my SIL was due yesterday. My niece needs to come before I leave for vacation next week!

    7) I got LO foam tiles for the floor at Lowes the other day. The whole alphabet for $16

    8) I'm going back blonde and it isn't going as well as normal. I've done highlights twice and still need a toner.

    9) I got coconut oil to try oil pulling last week. I've only tried it once. I used it as a hair mask tonight.

    10) I'll have to get my butt in gear tomorrow in order to be ready for a father's day cook out and vacation.
  • @Af1004- your #6. Crazy my sister in law was due yesterday too! Still no baby though.
  • @Legitsince86‌ DS only goes backwards too. It makes him so mad! The look on his face when he realizes the toys are further away and not closer is priceless. I should probably stop laughing at him, but I can't. ;))
  • 1. We went to the mall yesterday and LO had pooped while we were there. We went to change her in one of the family restrooms (yuck - I try to avoid using public restrooms) when we opened the door we both noticed it smelled like you were walking into a pool. After we changed LO and were shopping around, DH noticed orange spots on the side and back of my brand new navy shorts! I guess that'll teach me, next time I'll bring LO out to the car to change her. At least part of the restroom was freshly cleaned with bleach but wow a baby/child could have easily put it into their mouths, eyes etc.

    2) The mall have me a mall gift certificate without question to replace the shorts.

    3) We're going to a wedding on Saturday and going to be bringing LO to the reception only(it's at noon), hopefully all the guests don't get too close and try to touch her!

    4) I waited too long to find LO a dress and now I'm stressing out about it.

    5) We went on vacation last week, it was fun but stressful. LO had her first tooth cut through and learned to crawl!

    6) I just found out I will have another niece in November!

    7) I feel very uncomfortable going in my backyard after the altercation we had with our neighbors behind us on sunday. (We live on a corner so their house, driveway, and part of their yard is right at the end of our backyard.)

    8) Since everyone is dragging their feet about selling DH's grandma's house (she's in an assisted living home) we're talking about maybe renting it for a little while so we can prep our house easier in order to sell it. Also that would give us some time to test her house out to see if we could really raise our family there and potentially buy It when the time arises.

    9) My paternal grandmother contacted me on Facebook after not having a relationship with her or even talking to her in over 10 years. My father left us when I was around 5 and he has not tried to contact us nor do I even know where he is. Now with LO I'm really skeptical of her and have very mixed emotions of if I should even be giving her access to all my Facebook pictures, etc.

    10) I can't wait til LO doesn't need to have reflux medicine anymore. She has.to have it as soon as she wakes up and then I have to wait an hour before I can feed her. It is the longest hour ever!!
