Personally, I'm trying to outsource entertaining the baby to the toddler so that I can read my US Weekly. It has never in my life taken me this long to get through such a short magazine
I'm having a Nashville marathon while LO plays in his little Baby Einstein gym :-) Thursday's are looooong days as DH has golf league after work and doesn't get home until 8:30 usually. I'm exhausted but having some calm time at the moment - YAY!
Staring at this praying to baby Jesus she will not wake up again...
ETA - that could sound like I mean that I hope she never wakes up!!! I pray she wakes up again, just not until the morning!! Felt I just needed to clarify before someone calls child services on me

We all know what you meant and think the same thing when our LOs are asleep!!
At work watching videos of my baby. Ugh it's so hard leaving that precious face in the morning especially when he is cooing and smiling at me as I walk out the door.
I worked so hard to get LO down... And he is now asleep, in his RNP, in the nursery were I can monitor him while I clean or watch TV or pee or eat lunch... Yet here I am, sitting in the rocking chair watching him sleep :-) he's so cute!
I am planning my 2 week long, 600+mile (one way) road trip, most likely just gonna be me with the 4 kids (5 years old and under). DH isn't likely to make it now I have 4 different hotels I'm checking into, plus staying at my mom's house, Disneyland (a friend has free passes for me so I can't pass it up), a family reunion, birthday parties, tons and tons of family to visit, plus 3 new babies to meet! I'm exhausted thinking about it.
Eta: everything is color coded on things that need to be done the day of, the day before, 2 days before, and the week before I leave. I'm just starting my list. Pinterest has awesome Disneyland tips, road trip organization and fun for kids. And my planner is way too upbeat that it makes me happy to look at.
@TXmamatobe How is the atmosphere in Texas after the shootings? Hectic stuff, crazy world
Definitely an emotional day, for many reasons. Although all the events of the week have been horrific, it was amazing to see a huge group of people unite in prayer in downtown Dallas. It is scary to have this stuff happening so close to home but I was inspired to see people of all faiths, colors and backgrounds hold hands in the square and pray for our State and our Nation.
There IS good in the world even when it seems there isn't and the news media will certainly not spend the time and the coverage on the positive events as much as they will the negative. Outside of the obvious things that need to be addressed in this country, I truly believe the media plays a huge role in this and needs to make some changes as well. I hope some of you on TB can join us in praying for Dallas, the U.S. and the world as a whole.
ETA: I could cry all day thinking of the world we are creating for our children. When at look at my kids I can barely stand to think of what they will endure in their lifetime if things don't change. It's NOT too late but we have to start now. I don't have the answers and don't know where to start exactly but we have to make some huge changes, for us and most especially, for them.
And stuck with a baby on me again... After 2 hours of fighting sleep and screaming this is the only way he would sleep. Too scared to try and move him.
@TXmamatobe I know exactly what you're feeling. My country is also full of hate (still) and can get so violent. Then I also wonder what kind of world my kid will grow up in.
Media definitely not helping at all. Too much negativity.
@texasmamatobe@Charissadeats we don't talk much religion on here and I know it can be a hot button topic. Just wanted to throw some hope out there for those of you who want to hear it. I would hate to think of your ladies crying about the future of your children in this ugly world. But the bible gives hope that we and our kids will soon enjoy better; Revelation 21:4. A promise God give us. Words I whole heartedly believe in. ❤️
That pretty much sums up toddler mealtime. 8 plates of anything they might want to eat and eating one bite of one category is a win.
My favorite is when DS1 asks for more of the most random thing. On Thursday, he ended up eating a full cup of sliced olives and a few bites of pasta at dinner.
In our 8 week wonder week which means we have no idea why we're crying! So I'm in the nursery blasting my vacuum sound app and rocking my sweet baby (dog just checked in on us and is now laying on the rug by my feet). Went from chaos to calm in 30 seconds. Thank you vacuum sound app.
"Naptime". DD is yapping away on the monitor and DS slept for 3.5 mins before he started wailing. How is that they can rage all night and be so active all day?!

Negotiating lunch time with this little monster.

Watching my baby girl play in her princess dress while LO sleeps. Sweet little reminders that there is still sweetness and innocence in this world.
I'm sitting at the tire store with my mom waiting on the tires to be rotated.
Waited for it to cool down so we could go for a walk...then a thunderstorm rolled in.
