I hope you have better luck this time! No such luck. This sucks. Ugh. This would bother me to no end. You're a much better sport than I am.

Hello from the lab. Getting a blood draw.
Afterwards I have a few errands (this always means I will end up wandering Target and spending too much money).
Tonight we have a birthday party for my cousin's daughter. They're setting up a big projector screen in the backyard and having a movie night. Should be fun with the exception of having to entertain a 9 month old who wants to be on the move all the time.

Morning! We're on our way to the beach...more of a drive than the one we usually go to, but you can *drive* on this one, which is amazing with kids. No schlepping crap from a parking lot in billion degree weather is a win in my book. nam2013 hope the party is a success! Have fun! And the party is tomorrow, I'm just overly organised 😉.

Morning ladies!
We have a few showings at our house today so we have to be out. We're going up to my parents house to use their pool and can hopefully come home for nap time. I have everything crossed someone will make an offer this weekend.

Hiiiiiii! We need to get the boys up so we can hit the trail, but they went down for naps late. My SIL was involved with this local party held every year in the honor of one of the kids who died from Sandy Hook, so she came by and we all went today.
I also had an exhausting running group this morning. The guy who runs the group has 4 kids between 1 and 8. His wife is out of town so he brought all the kids. The littlest was in the stroller, the 7 year old was running next to him, but the 5 and 8 year olds were scootering everywhere.
***TW***
I HATE scooters. When I was a kid, a cousin got hit by a truck while riding one and died a couple days before his 10th birthday. I was only 7 and really looked up to him, so it was pretty devastating.
Anyhow so the whole thing this morning caused me massive anxiety. The boys kept veering into the middle of the road and weren't watching where they were going. Their Dad fell behind because of the stroller and his daughter trying to keep up, so a few of us split up to watch over the boys once the younger one fell behind his brother. At one point, the 8 year old was ahead of me and this guy I was with, and instead of waiting at the top of the hill for us, he saw some other runners he assumed were from our group and went in the wrong direction. We were yelling and sprinting after him until he thankfully hit a dead end and got scared. I started taking him back where we came from and fortunately found his Dad with the other kids pretty quickly. Thank goodness, he was pretty shaken up and I wanted a damn drink!
Anyhow maybe it's not so bad that running group ends soon for the summer, LOL.

I need some feedback, this is going to be long.
Backstory, since MH is gone my Mom has been coming every weekend to help. In all honesty it's mostly to keep B entertained because he needs an 'activity' mid morning Sat, Sat afternoon after lunch until 5ish, Sunday morning and Sunday after lunch until soccer at 3pm, then its soccer and park until 5pm.
My Mom also thinks it's a brilliant idea to do these projects, indoor or outdoor, on the weekends thinking that B is fine playing on his own while we work. These projects are split up and take at most 1.5 hours to do, then we do something totally for B.
For example, we'll weed the backyard, clean the bird baths, etc for an hour after lunch then take him to the park say at 2-2:30pm until 4:30pm.
I always set him up with chalk, paint, give him a small chore, let him help us, set up his soccer in the backyard, so he is always just by us. But, he cannot ever play on his own, is constantly being a bug, then has a fit and literally acts like we have abandoned him 5 feet from us.
It's important, to me, to have the chores done and I honestly feel like I shouldn't, at his age, have to entertain him 24/7, it's exhausting doing both. The worst part is by the end of the weekend I'm so annoyed with him and then i feel awful.
Does anyone else find this? Is this a phase? Did you change something and did it work?
Help.

@vinolove Ds is not like that all the time, but he has his days. Ds loves to play with water and wooden planks in yard and that usually helps, only that isn't always and option. Bribing and Sesame Street also do the trick often, but not always. It's the worst! Dd can play on her own better than ds... according to my mom it's first child syndrome, they're used to having full attention and demand it if they don't get it, it sucks.

So my very sensory oriented child scratches her lower back just above her "crack" quite regularly. We try to keep her from doing it but aren't always successful. Twice with me she had done so after she filled her diaper with poo and I didn't realize until she came up with a handful 😬🤢. I was talking to the babysitter about it this morning and she was saying how lucky she was that it hadn't happened on her watch. Today I got this message...

V can be like this too, I've always assumed it's because he's an only child.

I saw the saddest thing at work today. Some people went to float the river, they left their dog at their campsite on a 5 ft leash unattended (which they are not supposed to do) it got loose and It was running around the campground scared. Wouldn't let anyone near it. It would growl if you got too close. So I advised everyone to leave it alone and I called LE to come try and get it. They have a catch pole. They couldn't even get it. So a boy about 10 years old actually got close enough to pet it. It was acting fine and enjoying the petting, then turned and bit the boy in the face. It was awful to see. And the little boy, bless his heart, was blaming himself saying he shouldn't have gone up to it because he (the dog) was scared. Then he was worried about the dog because he didn't want the dog to get in trouble since it bit him. All while bleeding from spots above his eyebrow, by his nose, and by his lips.

Seeing Jack get bit replays in my mind daily. Pretty much every time we see a dog.. I'm sorry you had to see that.

Work was really slow this morning and then about 12 things started picking up. A drunk lady hit one of my coworkers, she was not a happy person that's for sure. After work I stopped at target and grabbed a couple things and then I took H to get a haircut. They took off 5 inches! Now we will play outside for the rest of the evening in the kiddy pool.

Well, mommy dearest ended up leaving after the dance recital. We were leaving and she asked if "that big girl" went to Cadence's school. She didn't like the fact that I told her you don't call kids "big", especially when you are walking right past them. She said she meant "old" when she said big and I said she was full of it and you don't say that crap. We got home and she said she was leaving. That I've been mean to her ever since my dad died. I've only spoken to her twice on the phone and neither of those times were "mean". Woman is crazy and she needs to take her drama elsewhere. I'm not interested. So she left and didn't even say bye to Cadence who tried to run out the door after her. Whatever. I won't be inviting her to Cadence's functions anymore if she doesn't know how to act in public.

Speaking of that. The HVAC guy was here this morning. Apparently the coil got frozen in a giant block of ice, he said because of a dirty filter. I changed the filter last night and it didn't appear to be that dirty but I guess it must have been. Anyways, it's off but the fan is blowing so the cool air off the ice block is keeping our house at about 75 degrees.
