Hopefully most of you are still asleep. It definitely isn't my first choice to wake up at 6:20 on a Saturday but that's what you do when you're the sole caretaker of the kiddos, amirite?
We're on the Cape and MH is disappearing all day to play in a golf tournament with his dad so I need to figure out what to do with these babies all day. The weather sucks so the beach is out. I guess I'll go spend all our money at the shops downtown?
Eta nvm, I can't go in those tiny shops with a double stroller. So, sit around the house I guess? Glad I drove 2+ hours just so I could do that.
(If you can't tell I'm not in the best mood today)

dashook Rainy day at a beach house calls for a puzzle. I hear 7 month olds and 2 year olds are fantastic participants. But really, can you wear D and bring a single stroller downtown? Get H dressed in rain clothes and let him go wild in the rain or wet sand? AFM, finally E's fever broke overnight. So we are probably going to take a trip to the farm today. O missed a daycare field trip there this week when he was sick so we felt bad for him.

Oh dashook that's not cool. We were hoping to have a yard sale today but it looks like rain. C is super emotional (normal for this point in DH's schedule) and H appears to be in teething hell again. So..... Fun day for me too.

hangry glad E's fever broke! How does she seem to be feeling today? I like your idea about playing in the rain. If it's not too cold maybe I'll do that in the backyard with H while D sits in the screened-in porch. She has a runny nose today (of course lol)

Morning! H just left to go golfing (again!) and the boys and I are watching Toy Story. It's our town days this weekend so we will probably check out a few events. I'd like to go to the parade and let the big guy play in the bouncy house this afternoon.
I really need to deep clean my house this weekend. I'm seriously considering a cleaning person. I just can't keep up and it stresses me out when everything is so cluttered and dirty all the time.

Morning! We're still deciding between which two festivals to go to today; Greek fest or Strawberry Fest. Either way, I plan to eat everything!

Hey 👋🏻
We were up at 6:00 and babies currently napping. It's raining rather hard here, kind of peaceful in some ways, but puts a damper on our daily walks with the kids (we usually do a morning and enter on one). Hopefully it clears up.
I need to have talks with H today about several not really important, but important to me things. (1) I need to start working on getting life back in some kind of order, and for me, I don't know what it is but I do so much better mentally when things are organized, have their place, etc. SOOO I need to talk to H about getting rid of a lot of stuff and trying to adopt a minimalist household. He is a keeper of things so it's gonna be tough but hopefully he'll concede. and (2) we took a week off in July, was meant to be part Ed Sheehan concert for us alone and part a weekend trip with the kids but I'm debating making it a week somewhere all of us together (same amount of $$) and this works f I get the Ed concert ticket fan passes from Today Show.
So super important stuff ya know.
Ok I need food now.

Terrible night here. J was up 3 times which is super unusual for him and then decided sleeping until 5:30am was good enough. My H slept in (til 7 but I'd do anything to sleep til 7) while I took care of the kids this morning and then had the decency to say when he came downstairs "man, I got terrible sleep". No. Just no.
It's beautiful here today. We have nothing planned. I want to take the kids to the lake and let B play on the playground. Tomorrow we have my neices birthday party in the afternoon. This is our last weekend until middle of August we don't have too much going on. This summer is going to fly by.

Jealous I think we're leaning towards Greek Fest because it's closer and crowds won't be quite as bad. This isn't a bad thing because it means I'll get amazing gyros. On the other had if we went to Strawberry festival, L has the perfect romper with strawberries on it. Of course I haven't brought that last part up to H to help us make our decision because he'd probably think I'm crazy for wanting to make plans around a baby's outfit. Yes, these are the actual conversations that take place in my head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

waitwhat TP to your H...he should load the kids in the car and go get breakfast for you while you relax with coffee at home danib hope your H gets home soon! dashook the shops here are the same way. Impossible to navigate with a stroller--and you can see the fear in the shopkeepers' eyes when you come in with kids, haha.

Morning sexy freinds!
We're up so early that the news isn't on yet; B was up at the inhumane time of 5:45am and J was up at 6:30am. I think I'm getting burnt out, this tour is slowly killing me I think. 2 more months...2 more months... but then the reintegration part starts...gah, why did I marry military?
Is 7:09am too early to contemplate life choices? LMK

Morning!
C was also part of the early risers club at 5:30, but thankfully I was able to get her back to sleep by 6 and we both slept til 8. I'm about to take B to go get donuts...great thing about Maine, you can't throw a rock without hitting a donut shop.
It's also kind of overcast and drizzly this morning but is supposed to clear up later on. I'd love to get out for a walk so hopefully at least the rain will ease up.

We have a good routine and the kids have adjusted well but being responsible and having to be 'on' all the time is getting hard. I for sure need a break...like 5 day beach vacation when he gets back 😉 Who wants to meet me at the beach?

vino how much longer will your H stay in? DH wants to do his 20 (here that is the magic # for pension, etc) but I think then he'll transition to the private sector. We have about 7 years to go...seems like forever and not that long, simultaneously.

We have about 7 years to go...seems like forever and not that long, simultaneously. He's at 7 years as well, that'll be 25 years. But I'm not sure he'll ever get out, private sector is a massive change for them as you know, and I'm not sure he can handle the adjustment. What I do know is that he will not be retiring at the age of 44.
