Friday Night Leftovers (The No Title Edition)


  • I have mentally checked out at work.  I'm just done.  Physically and mentally, I'm just exhausted.  
  • I'm also very grouchy.  Not just at work.
  • I live for naps.
  • Both girls have been seriously testing both Bee and I lately.  I don't know if it's just life, they have a holiday hangover or if it's a reflection of the upcoming changes.
  • Normally, I'd be excited about an upcoming three day weekend, but neither girl has really gotten back into a groove with school and their schedule and I wish they had school on Monday.  
  • Bean has started carrying a blanket around with her all the time.  It's fleece so the amount of dog hair she collects as she drags it around is disturbing.  
  • I made "busy bags" for the girls in preparation for the baby's arrival.  I did it without the glory of Pinterest and I have to say, I think my bags turned out pretty darn good, especially once I did compare mine to those out there on the web.  Post to come on Monday(ish). 
  • Tot's reading is getting increasingly better all the time.  I just wish she was more cooperative and would read to us more frequently.  Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn.

I can't believe you are still working! You are amazing!! I remember Chicken started to push the limits before the baby was born too. I think he knew something was going on. Eek! I'm just getting so excited for you!!

Can't wait to see what you came up with for busy bags! I need something like that for quiet time...since naps have died around here.

Work is so hard at the end. Ugh... (well.. and the beginning too.. and post partum.. and.. ah whatever)

Anyway, love the quilt, and your kids are cute! Does Tot remember Bean coming home?

I am excited to see these busy bags. :)

Maybe you can send them to school anyway on Monday. I mean, the playground has to be open, right? ;)

I can't wait to see the busy bags.

I'll bet you are DONE with everything...I don't blame you one single bit!

We have little to no groove back either. Monday is annoying at this point.

Polly said...

I agree with Canadian Mom! You are crazy for still working!

Megan said...

Hang in there- you are almost through. Do you have a c/s scheduled yet? Thinking of you!

I'm curious to find out what Blue's name is... :)

Manda said...

Add me to the growing list who wants to know Blue's name. lol.. Nap all you can at this point, you need to store up that rest!

Try letting Tot read into your phone on an app like Talking Tom where they repeat it back in a funny voice. I bet even recording it and letting her hear her read it in a regular voice would be entertaining for her.

You are allowed to be grouchy! You are a million weeks pregnant!

I'm taking my mat leave at 35 weeks. You are much stronger than I am! Can't wait to hear about blue's birth story!

Stacie said...

I agree that you are allowed to be grouchy. (((hugs)))

I can't wait to see the bags. I bet they are adorable!

The Captain's Wife said...

are you working right up until delivery day? Ugh! I am leaving work 2 weeks before my due date.

K carries her na'night with her everywhere. We recently began limiting the places she can take it. We will let her bring it in the car with us places, but we insist on her leaving it in the car when we go into places. Also at home we have been trying to keep it up in her room through out the day and only going for it when it is nap/bed time. My next thing to attack will be the thumb sucking...Ugh!

Can't believe you have less than 2 weeks till Blue is here!

All three of mine have "blankies," but they each have three. They get a new one every week or after they have been since which ever comes first.

When do you stop working?

I blame the crazy antics of my children on this crazy weather. 50's, 20's, 30's, 60's. Huh?
