I can't believe it is November already. I also can't believe Elizabeth will be 4 in a month! We are doing her first birthday party with friends this year at the gymnastics place near us on December 10th. How early should I send the invites?? I don't want to send them so early that people forget but it is also a busy time of year so I want to give people a heads up.

And this messed up time stamp/post order thing is really annoying.

Happy November!!

Good morning..

Halloween went well, Hayden had a blast and Matt and I enjoyed eating candy

Question...Does any of your LO's get in bed with you during the night? The last week or so Hayden has been waking every night and climbing into our bed. I usually move him back when Micah wakes me to eat.

[Repti.Mom]

I have never allowed any of the kids in bed with us. It's the only place we have that is just for mom and dad .

Trav climbs into bed with us almost every night. It can get annoying, but we allow it for now. I know he won't do it forever, and I enjoy the extra snuggles. I barely wake up when he does it. He's just mysteriously in ourt bed in the morning! Ha!

Car a.. We're having trav's party on dec 4th.. I'm going to pass out invites in the next couple weeks. We're also doing it at a gymnastics center.

[Spacey Stacy]

Hayden is the same way, when Micah wakes to eat around 2am he's in bed between us. I also enjoy the extra snuggles. I just move him to his bed when I get up to feed Micah.

[k8liz311]

Trav would wake up and flip out. I guess he has us trained...haha

Hi girls! Hope you all had a good Halloween. Found out yesterday that Mark isn't getting the Germany job. He's the most qualified, but they can't take him because they have to take someone already overseas over someone stateside. DUMB! So we're gonna be stuck here forever I guess. Pretty bummed.

Most everyone knows from FB, but Jamie was really sick the last week. Finally had to take her to the hospital Saturday for breathing treatment and steroids. She seems much better now.

I'm glad Jamie is doing better Cindy and I'm sorry to hear about Germany. That is so frustrating. With the Forest Service they don't have to hire the most qualified person, just someone who meets the basic quals, and it makes me crazy.

Alison is too funny. She learned to say uh-oh yesterday but apparently needs a reason to say it so she has been constantly dropping things the last 2 days.

[k8liz311]

Haha cute!
Sorry about the Germany job Cindy.. But glad to hear that Jamie is better.
Although in the midst of all my moving crap, I wish i had stayed instead! I'd go back in time in a second and say no to our move! O well.. Too late for that now.
On that note, today is moving day. Erik is at the house with the people unloading our crap. Not very excited about our rental house, but it is what it is. Its bigger that our current house so that will be nice.
Hope everyone is having a good week and had a good Halloween!

This week my stress level has been up. Next week Tuesday is one year since we lost my Mom. I have a million things I want to do. Kenzie being a handful. Now she has a cold. Forces me to slow done a bit. Have to fold some laundry yet, dinner done in crockpot. Have to do dads bills but that will be done when Kenzie is in bed. They uped dads meds so hopefully that helps. Took him off blood pressure meds so hopefully all goes well. Seems to be in better mood last two days. Got my yard ready for winter, just need to organize pool shed. Need to do that when Kenzie is in school, but been crappy weather when she is. I have most Christmas shopping done, a few odds and ends and gift cards. Got most of my snowman and stuff out.

[Repti.Mom]

I wont decorate til after Thanksgiving We just have one yard dude, so I don't have much to put out. I'm too lazy this year to hang outside lights, plus the ladder scares me and I'm not sure if I have enough whole strings of lights.

Do you have any plans for Tuesday Laura? Maybe a meal with dad or something?

[daisy616]

Maybe lunch with him. Thinking of looking up time she died and do balloon release at grave. Not sure Dad will be up for that.

[Repti.Mom]

She was your mom too! You can just take Kenzie out and do it by yourself if it's something that is important to you.

I'm sick of it being so **** dark in the morning. Makes me sleepy. I think daylight savings ends on Sunday.

[forest]

Yeah, daylight saving start Sunday. I need to really have the kids out the door an hour earlier than I currently do so this will be my chance, lol. The only thing is that they are going to be going to bed super early. Right now Ali goes to bed around 7-7:15 and E goes to bed about half an hour later. I guess I will just bump bedtime back 30 minutes, which will still be super early.

Almost the weekend, yahoo!!!

[Repti.Mom]

Rob's downstairs finishing up mudding, and dusting. He is painting tomorrow and then next weekend will be carpet! Then it's done!!

My dad and Kim have been trying to convince us to move into her house in baraboo. I really don't want to move and Rob kinda needs to have a job closer than sheboygan is to baraboo. It's just a bad idea, but they keep trying to make it sound like we neeeeeed to move there.

[forest]

That is going to be great when the downstairs is done Beth!! I wouldn't want to move with all the work you have done.

How was everyone's weekend? We had a nice one here. Rob actually had Saturday and Sunday off, which was super nice. Short week this week! I love 3 day weekends. I can't wait for Thanksgiving either. I love this time of year!

[sunnyc212]

Good weekend here. Went shopping allll day yesterday with my bestie. We spent 3 hours at Ikea. LOL! This is my last semi normal week before things start getting crazy with work training and getting my office ready. I'm interviewing new tax pros tomorrow. I can't believe how fast this year went by!!!

[Repti.Mom]

I felt like that when the kids went back to school Cindy. This summer seemed to fly by and before I knew it, the house was sadly quiet.

I'm a little sad today, one of my facebook friends just announced she is pregnant, this is about three weeks after another lady I know (my freecycle friend) announced she's pregnant too. Here I've been sitting for almost 8 months off that stupid shot, and nothing. I KNOW I had two periods for sure, one in August and one in September. Those two were really really heavy (pad and tampon heavy) and lasted almost 2 weeks each then october was about 5 days and real light, so I don't know if my cycle is even on time or what. I guess end of this month I'll make a doc appointment. I don't really want to consider medication because I'm terrified of twins or more(!)... I don't know. Just sad The most it's taken with any of the kids was 3 months.
