Achievements: I had a successful baby shower for my sister yesterday. We had 34 people there, so it was a big crowd. Challenges: Plans for the week? I'm not sure...I know my aunt is coming in on Wed to visit my parents, and DD is spending the night at mils wed night. I think it's supposed to rain all week, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to take DD to the beach. I'm thinking we might go home Saturday cause I would like to be home by Monday. How are YOU doing? I'm doing pretty good. My sisters baby shower is over, I'm going to get to see my favorite aunt for a few days, and best news yet I just found out I'm pregnant!  Q's/Vent? QOTW- It looks like there used to be a midweek check in at TCF, would anyone check in if I did that? I probably would depending on what the check in is. I dont really meal plan, so I probably wouldn't contribute if it was a meal plan check in. Also, thanks Radley, for keeping this board alive with the check ins |

Achievements: slowly but surely I'm getting my house deep cleaned.
Challenges: I think the family is getting this weird stomach bug. I'm not sure what is up.
Plans for the week? I'm supposed to be meeting up with a friend in a couple days. I really hope we're all feeling better by then.
How are YOU doing? I'm doing good.
Q's/Vent? I'm really tired of a certain friend of mine acting like we're in some sort of competition. I don't care at all who has matching car seats, who got married first, who's 2 year old hit certain milestones first, but she constantly asks pointed questions and if she is "winning" she humble brags. Major eye roll. Lately she keeps asking why I haven't been texting as much, but I just don't have the energy or interest to try and keep up.
QOTW- It looks like there used to be a midweek check in at TCF, would anyone check in if I did that?

auri first of all CONGRATULATIONS on the baby! That's great news. I hope you have a great visit and that the rain let's up so you can get to the beach. It looks like the midweek Check in is just "how has your week been so far? What are your weekend plans?" Nothing too specific. I don't meal plan either although I should.

Achievements: I finally unpacked our luggage from vacation before the weekend? lol
Challenges: the house is kind of a disaster. DS finished his longer camps so with him home more often, he's like a tornado.
Plans for the week? he has the shortest of camps this week hour-wise. A 2 hour a day computer camp. It's one of his favorites, he's been blabbering about it for weeks now asking if it's gonna start yet. Other than that, we got nothing unless I'm forgetting something. I feel like we haven't gone to the pool place we have in town as much as we could have this summer but he's been super busy so it's not like he's been missing out. Lol Maybe I'll take him by myself during the week. I always feel bad doing stuff like that without DH though. We'll see what the week brings.. that's if it doesn't rain.
How are YOU doing? Doing pretty good. I can't believe we're in August. I survived majority of the summer!!
Q's/Vent?
QOTW- It looks like there used to be a midweek check in at TCF, would anyone check in if I did that? Sure would!

NamasteBirches I hate unpacking so good for you! I hate doing stuff without H too, we haven't made it to the pool yet either since H works so much more in the summer (not sure why his job is not seasonal but they always call him in more and regularly schedule him more hours in the summer). We did get to the new splash pad though.

Achievements: we went to the kids musuem last week and we survived. We might have had a smidge bit of fun as well. I also managed to work out everyday!
Challenges: Finding stuff to do with the bigs while the little is being crabby.
Plans for the week? Election on Tuesday. Concert on Wednesday. Anniversary on Thursday. Nothing on Friday, thankfully.
How are YOU doing? Okay. Trying to get a mortgage for our forever house is driving me crazy. I didn't realize that my paycheck had made such a huge difference in our monthly budget.
Q's/Vent? Dh is off work until Friday and he is so mess with the kids schedules. They really enjoy having daddy home, but I enjoy them napping more.
QOTW- It looks like there used to be a midweek check in at TCF, would anyone check in if I did that?

Achievements: I got my littlest signed up for 2 days of K2 preschool! I'm excited but also freaking out. MY BABY!!! It's really going to be great though. Both of my older kids have gone there, DD will be there in K4 this year too so DS2 is familiar with the school and the teachers. He's going to love it. And it will give me two free mornings during the week to schedule all my appointments. Or, you know, just do nothing for once.
Challenges: I'm taking DS1 to a Kid's Club at the oncology center and then he's coming with me to a radiation appointment because it's immediately after in the same building. I think the kids club with be really good for him to talk to other kids who are going through having a parent with cancer. And my radiation nurses are awesome and said they'll let him "help" with it. Then Thursday is his meet the teacher night for 1st grade OMG. FIRST GRADE!
Plans for the week? This morning we're going over to a friend's house to play. Tomorrow is library day, then DS1's oncology kids club, then meet the teacher Thursday evening. I have a PT appointment in there somewhere and radiation every day at 4.
How are YOU doing? Hanging in there!
Q's/Vent?

cam I'm sorry you're scathed. I gotta say that cracked me up a bit though. Thanks! And I like to have a sense of humor about stuff when possible, so that tone was definitely used in my overview of the incident. |

auri, Congrats!!! Radley, the competitive thing would drive me crazy. Hopefully she calms down with it soon. NamasteBirches, my kids are little tornadoes in the summer too:/ I'm getting so excited for school to start back up! lildiamondeyes, when DH has a weekday off, he always throws our schedule off as well. It drives me crazy! honeylemon, I think it is amazing that your oncology office has a Kid's Club! And good luck with meet the teacher night cam, Sorry to hear about the dog collision!

Achievements: I managed to get a shitload of the kids' clothes tagged and hung for a consignment sale. I procrastinated until that last minute, so I'm still shocked that I ended up pulling it off.
Challenges: Nothing I can think of at this moment.
Plans for the week? We have been laying low this week.
How are YOU doing? Better now than I was at the beginning of the week. ***TW-loss*** After having significant bleeding with clots for about 8 days, I ended up getting another u/s to see if I had completed my miscarriage. Turns out everything was still intact, including the gestational sac. So I decided to opt of a D&C. I just couldn't deal with waiting for it to happen naturally anymore. I had the procedure on Thursday, and everything went well. I've had minimal spotting and very mild cramps. But I'm already feeling so much better than I did at the beginning of the week. So now I can work on healing emotionally. I also started a low dose of my anti-depressant about a week ago, so I'm sure that will kick in in a few weeks.
Q's/Vent? I've got nothing.
QOTW- It looks like there used to be a midweek check in at TCF, would anyone check in if I did that? I would! I plan on being around more, now that things are calming down with me.
