My kids are home schooled but take some outside classes. My 8yo has a full day of classes on Mondays, which started back today, as did gymnastics for my younger two. I was so NOT ready for this! We got out the door late, in part because I depended on my big kids to help with laundry which they didn't do well. I had nothing to eat and was absolutely miserable by the time we got somewhere I could get food that sounded decent. And as I was driving, I was thinking, "Hmm, I'm not sure a bagel is good because it's awful when it comes back up." :eyeroll I did end up with a bagel and juice and survived gymnastics, but couldn't find anything for lunch (and obviously hadn't prepared well enough to take anything with me!). By the time I found something I could actually get AND eat, I was throwing up in the car. 
Which is pretty miserable, I gotta say, especially when there are people around (not to mention the kids) and you're trying to turn and contort so not to be noticed, meanwhile filling a to-go cup with bile. Yeah. Not fun.
In better news, a sweet wool diaper cover I ordered for the baby arrived today.
Has anyone else bought anything special for baby yet? I feel like I want to do *something*, yet it's still so early. My 5yo asked if it was for my 2yo, and I evaded the question. I'm really wanting to tell them so will have to do that soon. I think it will be easier. Besides, I need to see my MW soon and it will be hard to hide that since she comes to my house. 
I came home after my DS's classes and crashed for a nap with the 5yo. Slept right through the mom's group I'd been planning to go to. But the sleep was gooood. Much needed. DS slept pretty much as long as I did, too, so clearly he needed it! And we managed to get the garbage taken out tonight and cleaned up a little in the living room. Tomorrow is an all-cleaning, all-day kind of day. A friend is paying for maid service and it starts Wednesday, so we have to get ready! 
I just hope I can manage to get the cleaning done. I've had zero energy for any of this for a loooong time.

Mostly it's just picking up and putting away that hasn't gotten done in the last month but it sure feels like cleaning sometimes. Coming home on that day is my favorite day of the month! Clean floors! Clean bathroom! Clean everything! Yay! :) 
At least I was too busy and overwhelmed today to feel very sick! Tomorrow is a rainy day and I think we will all be exhausted so hopefully everybody will sleep well tonight and nap tomorrow...a girl can dream can't she?
What? 4 months? That's a really, really long time!!! Good luck, I think you're going to need it! I was going to be jealous about the sleeping in, but I guess you'll be on the other side of that for quite a while!!
