Apparently not. 

I love the doctor btw!

Well kids are at the grandparents. Not sure if it was just for last night or the whole weekend. But I'm taking advantage and deep cleaning. Cleaned my kitchen, did all the dishes. Now I'm deep cleaning my room and bathrooms while doing a load of laundry.

I love cleaning when my kids are gone!

DH is gone all weekend so I've been binge watching silly "chickflicks" but maybe I should clean my house lol

Took my son to pick out his Halloween costume and when a Jack Skellington animatronic said “hello” when we walked by he screamed at the top of his lungs and clung to me for dear life. He usually likes spooky stuff (he’s going to be a vampire for Halloween) but apparently animatronics scare the tar out of him. He’s fine with scary costumes but if it moves by itself he’s not having it. 

Maybe I should have seen this coming. I mean, he is the kid who said “Chuck E. Cheese scares the shit outta me!”.

I'm sorry he got scared but thats kind of a cute story.

@psychobutthead after the initial shock, it was soooo hard not to just laugh. Haha I was bummed out because he wanted to go home and I couldn’t look around.

@psychobutthead @k2k2tog LOVE LOVE LOVE the Doctor... as in I almost dressed up DD as a Dalek for Halloween the year she was born (went with Dobby from Harry Potter instead).

I'm a pretty big drinker but gave up alcohol a couple months ago in hopes it would help me get pregnant (guess it worked!). Since me not drinking is a huge red flag to everyone, for those past couple of months when I'm out with coworkers I've been telling everyone I've been on antibiotics. Since I think that excuse has been going on too long (the CFO of my company told me the last time we went out, "just water for you right...? because you are on (air quotes) antibiotics again..."), I was debating on what to do at a huge work event I'm going to tonight. Since my friends and I have been known to smuggle in those little bottles of hard liquor before to work parties (okay I realize this makes me sound really bad, but my work limits how much drinks you are allowed to get at functions to 1 or 2 very watered down drinks) I was thinking of smuggling in bottles again and sharing with my coworker friends as per usual... and making them think I was also partaking in the liquid festivities.

It's possible I'm really over thinking this!

Just tell your coworkers a lie. Tell them you had bought the bottles but it slipped your mind and you left them in the fridge at home and you'll remember them next time. Could buy you some time.

I am doing absolutely nothing this weekend but lounging around and watching tv

k2k2tog

@Pahialii you totally should have done the Dalek halloween costume! That would have been awesome! 

DD1 requested to not go anywhere this morning, which is so unusual for her. Normally, she wakes up asking where we're going today. But, she's been so overwhelmed and exhausted from her first two weeks of school, so a day at home has been really good for us. 

I've been trying really hard to get things done, but keep finding my butt on the couch because I, too, am exhausted, and also consistently nauseous.

We’re visiting my parents this weekend so H and I got to go out and have a day date while they watched the baby. It’s been a really nice day but I’m glad we’re on our way back, I’ve missed him!

Went to my brother’s house in Maine for the day. We made pizza on the grill and hung outside. Then I managed to keep DD awake in the car the whole ride home. SUCCESS. She passed out in 2 minutes and now I’m sitting on the couch reading a book. Heaven! Tomorrow is supposed to be really warm so maybe we’ll do some yard work or go for a hike. 

@DuchessOfCambridge Yay for a day date! Hope you guys had fun. I always miss DD when we have time alone too. I feel guilty either way- ugh, life of a mom/wife? Haha.

Today is my 9/16 babe's birthday party. It was supposed to be just a little family gathering with some snacks and cake. Well, I've never met a party I couldn't over do, so now it's a bit more than that. I spent all day yesterday cooking, I have more to finish today, including decorating a 3-D train cake! My husband is a bit too laid back about the whole thing and my daughter wants to climb back inside me for the attention, haha. I'm not really complaining, I wouldn't have it any other way, just a bit busy!

@liliumstargazer13 that cake sounds amazing! I hope the party goes well!

I had a fun filled weekend! I went to a "find the wine" corn maze and might have had more fun hiding my non drinking than I would have if I had been drinking lol. I had an accomplice who knows I'm pregnant so that was helpful. Let's just say she got SUPER trashed, Haha! 
Last night I saw Ed Sheeran! Very eventful weekend for a SAHM

DH leaves for his work trip in less than 3 hours. He's gone two weeks, back home a week, gone another week. Blech.

Tonight, if I get a chance to prep my dough, I'm doing a Skype bake date with my friend after kiddo is in bed - we're making feta stuffed focaccia.

Cake complete! This is my first time doing fondant, so I have even more respect for people who do this professionally. (The cake is in our bedroom with the A/C, so it doesn't melt before the party.) 

DuchessOfCambridge

@liliumstargazer13 I’m speechless. That is one incredible cake. 

brie_and_almonds

@liliumstargazer13 Nice job on your cake! It looks very fun and like it was a ton of work to assemble. 

MelissaMay82

@liliumstargazer13 awesome cake!

mrskoz428

I’m counting down the days until my fall shows start! I’ve been watching 9-1-1, the Resident, and The Good Doctor. Can’t wait for them to start next week!

@liliumstargazer13 are you sure you're not a professional yourself?! That's an awesome cake!!

JennZed

@liliumstargazer13 that's incredible! Love that each car is carrying a different treat! It looks like a ton of work, very impressive!

zuuls_mom

FIL is visiting today so we’re out and about and DS is being a TERROR. I’m so tired. Send wine! Oh, wait...

kateandsiah

Weekend full of exhaustion and nausea but I did manage a third birthday party for a cousin last night and church this
morning. Now I’m tapped out. I can’t wait til I can tell people and don’t have to keep on hiding how cruddy I feel. 

expandcontract

@kateandsiah yup, that's what probably makes the 1st tri the hardest.

I LOVE the Resident and Good Doctor! I didn’t realize they started back up next week, hooray! More reasons I love fall haha

mrskoz428

@DuchessOfCambridge yes, September 24th!!!! 

megsb615

@liliumstargazer13 You did an amazing job on the cake! Wow!! 

@kateandsiah I also can’t wait to be able to tell people. Hiding it takes too much effort. and all this bloating is not doing me any favors. Sorry you’re feeling so crummy!
