I've got errands to run but tonight I am doing my very last photo session. I am closing down my photography business as it's just too much with full time work and a family.
I'm really excited about this session though. It's from a giveaway I did a while back so it's free but I couldn't be happier to gift this session. It's a maternity session and this couple really struggled and had several miscarriages so this is their rainbow baby. We're doing the photos at a beautiful garden and the weather is amazing today!!! I can't wait!
We're going to the pond (with a swim beach and water play) this morning and the library this afternoon.
DH is doing a 30 hour shift today (started at 6am) and will do one every four days for the next few months. I'm freaking sick of the darn things already. I'm in a funk today missing him.
I am getting my hair straightened. My brother is getting married in May and since pregnancy, I HATE my hair. My hair was always stick straight, no frizz, I could easily blow dry it and it stayed. Well now it is a frizzy, poofy mess. Not even curls--just frizz. I blow dry it and straighten in the AM and then I seriously think it grows by the end of the day. Anyway, I wanted to try it before the wedding since it lasts for about 6 months.
DH is going to go out tonight with a friend who is going through a divorce. Apparently this week they decided to separate, so I don't know what I will do in the evening.
Laying in bed watching mr. Rogers with ds....feeling nostalgic. Marriage counseling appt in a bit, then we are having a party this afternoon for some of dh's firefighter friends. I should not be procrastinating, I have a ton to do!
Morning. E woke up at 5:30 and has spent the last two hours being a complete fucking asshole. Well kid, maybe if you had gone back to sleep l begged you to you wouldn't be so motherfucking cranky!
I plan to clean my house thoroughly today. Like scrub the shit out of everything, vacuum every crevice, dust in all the corners, wipe down baseboards, the works. I made myself a plan before bed last night, and I will get it done!
I'm such a bitch. We're away from the kids for the 1st time and my dad sent me a nice pic of everyone at breakfast. My response was to correct them on the cup DS1 is drinking out of. I feel bad, but it's my carpet that's going to end up with smelly milk in it! I probably won't get another update all weekend now.
My kids have been waking up at 5 am all this week. I just knew today was going to be no different so lame as it is, I went to bed at 8:30. DH stayed up until 11 and is hurting. Not sure what to do except take the kids to the park and run errands.
@RondackHiker what about these hot &sweet drumsticks: https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/07/hot-sweet-drumsticks/

We were supposed to go to my IL's this weekend, but they just refinished the basement (where we would sleep), and the doors, stairs, and cabinets just got polyurethaned yesterday, and MIL said it's giving her headaches. So we changed that to next weekend.
I'm going to be getting a pedicure today and getting my maternity clothes down from the attic. Maybe some cleaning if I feel ambitious.
Today is starting out awesome. Kids are still asleep and I'm drinking coffee that is actually hot.
We're going to the white mountains today. It's one of my favorite places in the world and I'm totally psyched. Going to try to get someone to take a family photo of us there too. I only have 2 pictures of us as a family of 4 and they are both random and not frame worthy.
Also, when ds1 wakes up I have big plans to run into his room with the bubble gun and cover him with bubbles.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:
Dd woke up at 5:52 this morning which is only about 30 minutes earlier than her norm. She ate and played then we ran to Walmart. She's taking her morning nap now. This afternoon I think I'll take her to the community pool. Trying to soak in as much fun as I can for the last few days of summer vacation.
I have no concrete plans... I think I'll start with a shower though. And coffee. Coffee is necessary. I might get DD to help me paint a shelf today. She'd like that.
Drinking coffee while dd eats a bagel and watches Oso. My house is still clean and laundry is done. I am meal planning too.
Once my sister calls I'll know today's plans. I think it's going to be the zoo. It's so cute how much my dd loves her cousins. The last time she saw them she was 1.5.
DS was up at the same time today as always. I wish I'd gone to bed long before 1. We're about to take a morning nap, I hope. I got him to eat a whole banana for breakfast, which is a big deal around here. He just wants to nurse constantly :-S
I also just friend requested Cute Dad on FB. Big step.
I JUST woke up!!!!! Unfortunately, it was because DS was up for an hour and a half in the middle of the night, so DH let me sleep in. I do not know what is up with this shit, but I'm not a fan.
@pobrecita, how do I get DS to poop in the potty instead of in his underwear? Thanks in advance!
DS is 1DAF

We're going to my sisters later for a cookout. But until then MH is working & I'm entertaining kids. Really need to go grocery shopping but not sure yet if we'll do that. The weather is iffy & I dont want to get trapped in a rain storm with 3 kids, a newborn & a cart full of groceries....
This morning while picking up my bountiful basket I sneezed and peed myself. LOVE YOU PREGNANCY. Then had to spend 20 more minutes in line in my pee pants.
Yet another early morning, despite a late bedtime. It's my SIL's wedding today and DD is a flower girl! So cute.
And of course h started feasting on crackers before 8 by threatening DD that she wasn't going to her auntie's wedding. For not listening. Because that's an appropriate response. I asked him how he planned to follow through on that and he just huffed and walked off. Maybe he should start drinking coffee.
I've sorted L's books and toys and gotten a lot of them out of the living room (for now). My H is cleaning. He has his headphones on which makes me irrationally annoyed because he can't hear a word I say, but I'm not going to complain since he is getting stuff done.

Dh sleeps like this most nights so he never hears the baby when she cries. He's done this since he was in high school so I know it's not to avoid getting her or anything like that it just helps him sleep.
DH taught I how to blow his nose, which is great. What is not so great is that the kid wants to blow his nose every 2 minutes and has a shitfest if I say no. I'm all for it, but he's not getting anything out and I'm tired of grabbing kleenex. MOTY.
DH took the car today, so we're stuck at the house. The movers come on Thursday, so I should be purging and doing schoolwork. We'll see how far I get on those two.
@CCM82909, DH taught DS to snot rocket, but he just does it wherever. It's so disgusting. I don't know why it didn't occur to him to teach him to get a tissue first. I think they were outside or in the shower.

Tacos? Lol
Also- 30 hour shifts? That's just insane - I'm sorry
Breakfast in a bit.
Then I think I'm going to take DS to get his hair cut.
Maybe later the pool.

Other than that I don't know what's happening. I want to do something but I don't feel like doing anything.
H is gone all weekend so I have no idea what to do.
Is this the sign of a good day? I think not.

Mine keeps rolling over and trying to eat the sand.
Am I doing this wrong or are my friends better at baby wrangling?
